@brabel - The Nim compiler actually builds a relatively large `system` package every time. (They are also working on speeding up compiles.) So, compile time does not scale as badly as you think. E.g., you might have to 50..100x the "user level" source code to double the time.

Also, @benjamin-lee this version of the Nim program is a bit lower level, but probably much faster:

import memfiles as mf
var gc = 0
var total = 0

var f = mf.open("orthocoronavirinae.fasta")
for line in memSlices(f):
let n = line.size
let cs = cast[cstring](line.data)
if n > 0 and cs[0] == '>': # ignore comment lines
continue
for i in 0 ..< n:
let letter = cs[i]
if letter == 'C' or letter == 'G':
gc += 1
total += 1

echo(gc.float / total.float)
mf.close(f) # not really needed; process about to end

Compile with -d:danger and so on, of course. { On a small 30kB test file I got about a 1.7x speed-up over that of the blog post. I also could not find the 150 MB file. Multiplying up the tiny 30 KB file like @brabel, I got only a 1.25x speed-up down to 0.5 seconds. So, might not be worth the low levelness, but a real file might tilt more towards the 1.7x end. }
Doesn't really have all with the compression though.
Has anybody used rss-bridge to replace the Facebook newsfeed? It seems like you have to point to individual people so I'm curious if you'd get blocked if you tried to follow more than a few friends.
My understanding is that it’s more than search results - Google will also track any site you visit that uses Google Ads, Google Analytics or the Google token which is most of the web, and link all this to your Google account on their backend.
Imagine how small the file would be if it were a couple of for loops. Compression can take advantage of the colors of adjacent/near by pixels, adjacent pixels in time (for video), less bits for more common situations, removing differences that are invisible, etc.

Gotta ask. Has anyone worked on image compression using machine learning? (that sounds like an obvious thing to do). It would be funny to end up with an algorithm no one understands.
I think that expectation of privacy is mostly misplaced and the hosting providers are the least part of the concern: anyone who’s “friends” with more than a handful of people on social media should be treating all the posts on that platform as potentially public: there’s no way to prevent one of your connections from screenshotting and/or otherwise broadcasting your “private” posts.

In this way, the older unauthenticated model of the internet was better: by not creating an illusion of privacy around your website (think c2.com or Wikipedia), it does not encourage you to rely on that illusion for safety.

Just a question about these type of apps/plugins, when it says something like this: "Add-in capabilities When this add-in is used, it Can read and make changes to your document Can send data over the Internet" is that isolated to just the pane you are currently on with the plugin?
"Better" is a multi-dimensional measure and people have very different preferences for what constitutes "better". The source of the winner take all dynamic is network effects. Because of those, everyone agrees that the "better" platform is the one that everyone is on, which inevitably causes everyone to use that same platform, even if they would have different preferences but for the number of people on it.

It depends on the batteries. It's true that larger packs generally draw less current per cell; whether you can get away with a small pack depends on whether the cells are designed to handle high discharge rates without damage.

Tesla's approach seems to be to optimize their cells for energy density rather than power density. They can do that because the packs they use are huge. On the other hand you have relatively small batteries that go in hybrids that are optimized for power density.
Whereas I'm stupid. I do a lot of meetings on Zoom too, and by the time you're finished explaining yourself I've forgotten what you said.

It's not just about you. Write it down so that everyone can benefit.
Why would you give up one of the most enviable positions in corporate America for the slimmest chance to make anything close to what you earn now? You'd be flushing your job security down the drain to join the ranks of an incredibly competitive field, and likely end up getting hired by a Fortune 500 company who's more interested in seeing you write a linked list than hearing about how passionate you are on the subject.

I'm sorry if that came off raw or dismissive, but you kinda missed the boat here by a decade. Defi is cool, but if you're in banking then you should be well aware that crypto is a side-pot, and a relatively small one at that.

My advice? Keep your job, just start programming on the weekends and see how it makes you feel. If you're any good at it, you'll be able to apply those skills to your current job so you can waste less time and spend more time studying programming. Sounds like a win-win-win situation to me.

Unless you're immensely talented with insane energy levels and plenty of free time it would take you 3 to 5 years to get to similar comp levels as a dev.

Keep in mind that established and talented engineers prepare for 3 to 12 months to pass interviews at FAANG and hedge funds.

Both PNG and JPG use compression (lossless in case of PNG, lossy in case of JPG) to store the image.

Now your question is basically reduced to "how can text files with same number of bytes, each having ALL the ascii codes, compress to files of such different size". The answer is that it MUST necessarily be so. You can't have a one-to-one map from [2]^N to [2]^K where K < N.
Nice to see a fresh perspective.

High density appears to create fragility. People were fleeing from cities during covid.
In my experience, both asynchronous teams and teams of people doing highly synchronized work, some spending most of their time together in voice chats or calls have worked great.

I appreciate the experience feedback from that article, but I wish some of the feedback was contextualized rather than presented as universal. The antithesis laid at the end of the talk helps a bit, but it is a bit reductive about the effectiveness being limited to ops.

Prevent corporations, non-citizens, from buying up realestate could be a start.

Heavily taxing the third piece of realeste one adult buys.

This will certainly be the crux of intellectual property lawsuits in the future.

It's striking that some of these examples have distinct features from specific, identifiable datasets: we can occasionally recognize specific characters (the old man from Pixar's UP is getting mentioned a lot), but it also reproduces more general aesthetic patterns. Even when I can't recognize the source data, I can distinctly see in some of these faces "the Pixar look", and in others "the DreamWorks look".

Were I an IP lawyer, I would start thinking of arguments along the lines of "this technology simply obfuscates the source of plagiarisms". I would also start to think about trying to force anyone who uses this technology to disclose the sources of their training data, since a model trained largely on "the Pixar look" could be benefiting from Pixar's character design processes without having to hire any of Pixar's artists.

And, if I were philosophically inclined, I would also start thinking about how this is any different from hiring a random artist and instructing them to "design characters that look like Pixar characters".

I suspect that one key difference is that the human artist's success can't easily be measured, but the GAN's success can very easily be measured.
Your headline "Get Data Products Right" is much more vague than the first sentence of your Show HN: "iko.ai offers real-time collaborative notebooks to train, track, deploy, and monitor models"

I would update both the title tag and that headline to be a condensed version of that sentence. I'd also suggest considering the buzzword "lifecycle" to merge write/deploy/track/monitor (test?): "Collaborative notebooks for your ML-model lifecycle".
I love the idea of archiving everything we can, but does anyone else feel like the arctic archive was created by people who got wrapped up in too much science fiction? I feel like there’s a lot more practical short-to-mid term archiving of historical physical and electronic data that really needs to get done, that also has a much higher chance of being needed in the future. But perhaps I am just being short-sighted. I am also fully aware that one form of archiving does not mean other forms can not happen. But there does seem to be limited resources for this sort of activity.

I could have worded my comment more sensitively, I apologize.

However, the impulse to create art that aims to better inform the populace of various sufferings is age-old. Victor Hugo wasn't Valjean, but Valjean was based on an incident he witnessed, and Les Misérables was born from that, to use one example.

I'm reminded of the relevant Black Mirror episode, Men Against Fire.

If you don't want spoilers, stop reading now.

The AR makes the enemy combatants look like hideous monsters so the soldiers will be more likely to shoot to kill. The soldiers also believe that they've been brought out to fight against literal monsters.
The fact that LDL cholesterol is not the only risk factor for heart disease is very well established - just as well established as the fact that LDL cholesterol is a causal risk factor for heart disease. Unfortunately human diseases almost never have a bijective relationship with a risk factor.
The first thing I do with a Linux installation it's always add htop, and this it's the first time I feel the need to try something new in my routine.
I initially thought Janet was a language intended more for embedding inside C applications than general usage though. (If you’re intending to use the language for general purposes, there’s already too many contenders like Clojure and it probably has all the libraries you need for all sorts of things like webdev.) But given that there’s already a general-purpose package manager developed for Janet, I guess the dev is pivoting towards a different direction…

I’m still curious about how good the embedding story is (ex. for game scripting or as a configuration language), compared to other scripting languages like Lua/Squirrel/Wren. (Runtime memory usage, GC overhead, how easy and performant it is to create C bindings, etc…)
Surfing the Web anonymously isn't a crime.
Libertarian organization delivers libertarian hot-take. No surprise there. It's tempting to believe! We all know the old story of the "law" of supply and demand. And there may be specific places where there is actually too much blocking new construction. Where I live, Vancouver, we have plenty of new construction - and have been pretty developer friendly for decades now. The problems I've seen with it are 1. it doesn't bring down prices and 2. all that gets built are luxury homes for the rich and condos for everyone else. Meanwhile developers and investors have gotten very rich off it. As a recent-ish example, the olympic village development sat mostly empty for YEARS, held by investors. There was no noticeable dip in prices when that development came online.

Long story short - yeah, we need to build more homes - but not using laissez-faire capitalism. As far as I can see in my lifetime that hasn't worked. Large scale socialized row-housing developments are what I'd like to see tried next.
I used the Internet at CMU during the pre-DNS era, and my recollection is that the official hosts file came from SRI-NIC (this is corroborated by the ICANN history [0]).

The science is not at all clear on this. Tests are being administered at very different rates to the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Transmission rates have never been compared in a properly controlled environment. Many very highly vaccinated states and countries are seeing far higher rates of spread than this time last year before there were any vaccines.
I'll improve that...

Yes, the data is only read from the active worksheet. And your data is not sent over the internet. The trained model is stored on a server, but your data stays on your machine.
Agreed. Just start looking in the Bay Area and you’ll see lots of parcels (either under-utilized or entirely empty) of various sizes that could be used for an apartment or house. It’s nice to see the apartments being built along El Camino now, and a lot more could be done.
Great question. I have been able to build things already without formal training in the field and a busy working week, but the reason I chose to study is I was plateauing in my ability and was also missing the fundamentals/best practice. My view is that I only need to be able to build MVP's, which I think can be done with limited time. Should any MVP show promise, I could hire in talent to take it to the next level, and, have a good understanding of the technical side to do so.
Pinta is basically unusable. It's a port of the last open paint.net source from over 10 years ago. Paint.net went closed source at this time due to plagiarism issues.

The requirements were probably written by someone else and then copy-pasted. The poor recruiter likely doesn't even know what Kubernetes is.

You simply explain to them Kubernetes itself didn't exist at the time, but you have experience with related technologies (Docker, Linux, whatever, etc.) If you communicate well, they'll present you to their client regardless. Remember, they want that fee.
I don't think I've ever installed it like that. It's on Ninite, as is GIMP and Krita (and Inkscape for Vector).

Learning programming to consult or create a B2B product that you can sell to your current employer/industry sounds much better than starting from the ground level as a junior dev.

It will be interesting to see what the recent legislation will do to California housing prices. I'm not entirely sure if there are enough large lots to sustain multiplexes on them. But even if people start building duplexes, it may help ease the lack of inventory.
I was thinking along the lines of getting city council members to agree with insane concepts. The committee all nodding at the wisdom of the new town monorail would be funny as hell.
Do you find it easier to learn something new from pictures and bullet points or from a long-form document?

That kind of documentation is not necessarily bad, but it depends heavily on context, which is not always shared across readers. So when the author and those they talked to are not available anymore, it quickly becomes useless.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think people should write War and Peace. Usually a good 2-3 paragraph introduction improves the quality of a document/email significantly. There you can provide the context that is necessary to fully understand the pictures and lists and diagrams you add after.
Just don't pretend to care about ICU capacity after making a post like this. Also there's no case for mandates because the vaccines are garbage at preventing transmission.
The problem here is the tight integration by Apple: the app and the networking services are implemented by the same company.

I'd be ok with an app by a third party which does not automatically gets network access on my phone explicitly or implicitly, so I know my data doesn't leave my phone.
From what i understand, absurd overregulation prevents hundreds of diseases to be diagnosed because ... reasons. They cant add various sensors, but they happily add useless and dangerous stuff like face recognition, even if it 's harder to implemetn. You can't even get a health report based on your genetic profile anymore. Which i understand can be a problematic in the US but it s happening in europe too

It is curious that they chose depression and cognitive decline because , even if you diagnose them , depression is iffy to treat and i dont know anything to prescribe for cognitive decline
Not raw or dismissive at all. This is the type of advice I was looking for.
Video calls have also made this a lot easier.

Before everyone kind of expected ~3 minutes of lateness to be the norm, dependent on elevator and stairway congestion. And god forbid one person is traveling from another meeting in another building a bit of a walk away.
Smart and creative peope can grasp a lot of things but not everything is pure thought. Experience and experimentation time is required and there are only 24 hours in a day. Also the ds field has a lot of young people that did not have that much time or opportunity yet.

My N is a few hundred, not all my personal hires. I have visibility because now I do project management office duties (build sub teams per project), lead most of the interviews on the ds side, internal technical consulting duties. Ten you mentioned is my target number for hires previous and next week approx.

My claim is based on experience from the academic and the consulting space for global corp (which included consulting for other corps to build their ds teams, rarely though). I hope my claim appears logical and is useful.
I had to listen to it three times before I was able to make heads or tails out of it. But it was worth it.
Visualising it as a cube of colour helps me think about it.

The 3 colours are 100% on one surface and 0% on the opposite. The cube being 256x256x256 pixels in size.

Then in that image you’re showing slices of that cube.
> If I go to a party incognito, I don't expect to leave no physical trace of my presence.

It's more like going to a party hosted by someone who makes a living by tracking you, where you were told that you are going to be incognito. But secretly, behind the scenes, you're still being tracked by the host of the party using a different technique.

Im not sure I agree with you. Yes Germany isn’t Denmark, the distance from US —- German government policy is vast. Even the difference between UK and Germany is vast. What do we call that difference ? Some people might call it socialism, others just more govt intervention. Still the societal dynamics are so different yet “capitalists” and free market folk want to take it all under their wing, while ascribing only genocidal dictatorships to socialist policy.
> Regardless of how often you ship, things still break sometimes though right? And you still need to find out why when they do.

The point is that under the traditional model, ops is responsible for the debugging, and they are typically already familiar with the infrastructure. Of course, things in organizations are rarely neatly isolated like this, so certainly developers would help with the debugging in many other, and having infra expertise will help.
Technically then at least the windows signature failed prompt would show up. Also the firefox binary is usually somewhere you need admin access to write (i.e. admin prompt).

I don't really agree with the method Mozilla is using, but at least the explanation makes sense.
M.2 slots are x4, and going by the table on Wikipedia[1], that equates to about 7.8GB/s for PCIe 4.0.

Of course x8 could do it, but that would be awkward.

From the table we can also see the prototype SSD hitting nearly 90% of the 5.0 max speed.

One of the reasons for having a meeting is knowing that most people won't read or watch anything you send them, and even if they read they won't recall much. That is why in film school my teachers screened films in class instead of just assigning them.
Impressive, but very difficult to read in some places. I am definitely a fan of aligning similar lines, from equal signs to columns of numbers and variables; in the right dosage I find it helpful for readability, but your linked example also shows the problems when you overdo it.

I think I should be glad that I rarely write long texts in monospaced fonts. I can't unsee that perfectly aligned game guide.

> Not if the shape is stable, because the underlying cells are too complex to merge into something different.

This is not a valid concept. Vertebrates develop from stem cells the same way insects do.
Why do you think it does not work? And what would you do instead?
Yup. Consider that all compression boils down to some form of a model that can predict the next bits of information, and then an encoding that only includes the deviation of the actual data from the prediction. Machine learning gives us new ways of making predictions.
