You can do a lot of useful things like predict the price of a phone on e-bay etc using around a thousand data points and basically no compute. You can't do things like train an image recognition model, but most machine learning isn't that expensive to do, just that problems requiring expensive models to solve is what makes the news.

I'm told that more overtime will almost certainly be available should I care to pick up (~$2100 per 12 hr shift). I have an associates in nursing and 2 years of work experience in the last 3 years.

Happy to answer any questions as I know this sector is pretty outside of the normal HN discourse and there's been some interesting employment trends since the pandemic began.
The first few layer of CNNs are basically learned wavelets. I've had the thought to use basis functions, based on wavelets and/os Legendre polynomials, to perform the first few layers of image processing (more regular and don't need backprop). Haven't been in that space in a while though and don't have much time to mess with it.

CNNs have gotten so good though it seems a little moot.
If you're interested in psychohistory, there is a field called "cliomancy" where scholars attempt to actually treat history as a somewhat hard science and look for correlating trends and stuff. I'm massively oversimplifying of course. I think Peter Turchin is the most well known author in the field.

I used to work in a building in an area where they did lots of movies. My impression was that it’s very interesting and diverse work.

I agree. I think doing Extra for personal development is rarely aligned with job performance, and you have to be very, very good and conscientious about creating that alignment. More often people get away with it by tanking the productivity of their coworkers and making the business increasingly reliant on their personal productivity. But to do this you need weak or absent technical management.

I think doing Extra, More, or "Nothing" are all fine choices, if by "Nothing" you include spending time on family, community, health, and non-professional education. For professional advancement, I think "More" is a fine choice if you have good management. Management should have the perspective to appreciate you making the right choice for the business. If they don't, well, in that situation, I find that advancement depends on selling yourself to people who only care if you're delivering good news for them and can't appreciate anything else.

It's an X server. While it's amazing Microsoft has added it in as part of their OS, it's just doing what X software has always done on Linux and Mac and BSD etc. I and other people are already doing this on Windows 10. Just with 3rd party Xserver software instead of WSLg.

The part that I do find innovative is the File Manager interaction. That came as a total surprise. Next I hope that they make the file systems as a whole a bit more seamless. Running backups from my Linux image allows me to process both the Linux and Windows home directories, but the same (so far) is not possible the other way around. Judging by the File Manager interaction, it soon will be, though.

What I would find more innovative is if Windows would find a way to make their software work over SSH -X. Remote desktop is a whole lot of nothing if you have to stream the entire desktop for a single app.
Conservatives don’t have the weight of the NEA and AFT behind them, not to mention the country’s teacher’s colleges and EdD-granting institutions. I’m in a purple county (+38 for Larry Hogan) and it’s an uphill battle against identity politics even here.

Moreover, conservatives support the educational status quo, which is at least a known quantity. America of the few countries in the world where minority immigrants have similar upward mobility to natives of the majority ethnic group. The changes liberals are trying to impose on our education risk socializing minority children into the ethnic identity ghettos you see in nearly every other multi-ethnic society. Liberals are going to get the change they want, and we’ll just have to cross our fingers and hope it doesn’t derail the American assimilation engine.
About his possible activities as a spy travelling around Europe, there's an interesting speculation in the book, The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, by Frances Yates.

>People would have started voluntarily staying home even if it meant quitting their jobs

I think the fact that this didn't even come close to happening excluding maybe a 2-3 month period of panic suggests that the virus was not really as deadly as we initially believed. If this were the plague, you wouldn't need to force people to stay home.
We're going to have to extend working age and think about career changes there's no other way about it. No matter what else we do I think we're in for that.

People used to retired and die 2 years later.

Not only are we living a lot longer, we're assuming massive medical expenses to the point where 80% of your life 'healthcare' will be well after you retire.

Social Security economics - even socialized medicine - are not going to fix this because the expense is still there.

We're going to have to 'do something' past age 62 both to offset costs, but frankly, it'll probably keep us saner and healthier.
Michael Stevens from the Vsauce YouTube channel visited Tetsuro Matsuzawa, the author of this article. He competed against Ai at the masked numbers test and was utterly outmatched by the chimpanzee.

It's slightly misleading to the reader to refer to the Byzantine Empire as the Roman Empire. Sure, the people living there considered themselves Romans, but they also referred to their country as Romania, which also today is not typically used to refer to the Byzantine Empire without giving further context.

Social Security Benefits to Rise 5.9% in 2022, Most in Four Decades
Having a personal workstation in university (kept it at home and had a VPN set up to connect to my LAN) was probably one of the best choices I made. I could carry a cheap disposable laptop that served as a web browser and dumb terminal and the powerful machine was just a SSH connection away.
It's a well-designed site, but as others have noted, there aren't enough details about how it works, how data is handled, and its security for this to be something I would ever even think about giving money to.

I don't have a problem trying to undercut Codespaces by selling a hosted preset cloud-environment offering, even if it is just built atop Hetzner, but I do have a problem with the lack of clarity about what it is and how it works.

There is a huge niche/hobby that is there are tons of VPS resellers and smaller hosts who just throw up a rack or two in a data center and then sell cheap VPS boxes, but the thing is, when you get something from a lowendbox type of place or an upstart VPS provider, you usually understand that the company might not be around forever, that support is spotty, and that you're on your own. When you target something as a hosted remote dev environment, for me, that requires a lot more trust (whether it should or shouldn't) because it's my dev environment.

Still, it's a nice idea and I'm sure we'll see more of these offerings pop up over time.
I’m not optimistic about migration solving labor shortages in Europe.

Take a look at Germany [0]:

> By the first half of 2016, 10 percent of refugees who came to Germany during 2015, 22 percent of those who arrived in 2014, and 31 percent of those who received asylum in 2013 had found work.

> A large proportion these figures is attributed, however, to unpaid internships and minor employment. If these employment conditions aren't taken into account, only 5 percent of refugees who arrived in 2015 were in employment in the first half of 2016, 13 percent of those from 2014 and 21 percent from 2013.

From what I have seen in Germany, refuges and migrants end up in segregated areas and bring their various cultures with them, which isolates them from society at large and also makes their relationship with broader society more alien and hostile. And it is rare that you get the people who really need help as refugees. Many of them are young men without female partners, and the gender imbalance is rather shocking and probably also causes some of the issues seen in Europe today.

If you and your team know Webpack and the ecosystem of plugins well already, then stick with that. Setting up a new project does not take a lot of time for you I guess. Someone mentioned "webpack tax" when using Parcel, it is real. Parcel is nice, I like it, but you get more control with Webpack.

My apologies, my phrase "milking" was meant to imply "overly burdensome resource taking" when compared with their value add. IE cost too much

To rephrase, all too often middlemen are there because of legislative/financial props from government or other incumbent advantages and - as you say - both sides would be better without them.

In this case - as in many middlemen cases - Google provides value - their search services. This "value" is the hook for their place in the transaction.

If Google provided a useless list of random results for every search term then it is obvious they would lose their place.

But where is the crossover point? Where Google doesn't provide enough perceived value compared to their perceived cost such that the market abandons them?

Peoples growing dislike of ads and - from this article - advertisers changing perception of ad value will change the cost vs value equation.

But I still think Google is safe for now.

> Wrong. Business is about relationships. Be competent and do what is minimally required.

Wow. this is the worst advice I've ever read on HN. As an owner, I seek out employees that are good at politics and poor workers and help them find a job at another company (ESPECIALLY COMPETITORS). A lot of times, they even think they are getting a promotion when they leave.

> The slaves stick around to do the extra work.

This is the problem. "Extra" does not mean "extra work". It means go beyond. Solve an extra problem, write that document, squash an unexpected bug or two, organize a language meetup group... something outside the necessary.

> Competence + relationship > competence + extra work

Competence is a low bar that nearly every adult professional meets. Be better than competent is what the extra is all about. Also, building relationships isn't that hard. I can't tell you the number of times that I see people who are bitter about not getting promoted say no thanks to their manager when approached with, do you want to grab lunch?

You've misunderstood my comment (took me a while to understand what you were talking about because I don't normally have the showdead option on, so I normally don't see the 'vouch' link).

It's NOT that I want to bring back these articles that have been flagged. Indeed, oftentimes I'm doing the flagging. It's that I see so many articles that cover important Covid strategy topics, but instead of looking at the pros/cons of any individual strategy is a dispassionate manner, I see the same old "Forcing masks is killing our freedom!!" or "Not staying at home is killing grandma!!" shit.

All I'm saying was that it was nice to see an article that, in my opinion, looked at some of the downsides of Covid lockdowns in a pretty rational manner without falling in the blatant tribalism I see everywhere these days.

A better, blended approach might be some migration, some shorter term work permits, automation, extending the retirement age, and exporting to large growing markets. Nigeria will want cars and machinery that are mostly designed and made in Germany etc.. The surpluses are way more concentrated in those things than less skilled labour from 'Africa'. Given large cultural gaps, there generally isn't that much 'highly skilled labour' that can be imported directly. Lawyers/Accountants are regionally specific, many medical schools are not recognized, and communications skills are a big barrier. Finally, tapping the tiny layer of professionals in those communities is probably going to cause more net damage than otherwise, better to employ them locally in branches directed by external companies with some scale and operational know-how that can be transferred, which represents more of win-win.
I'm seeing on twitter a lot of reports of cancelled flights for American Airlines today (200+ cancelled, 500+ delayed).

I saw one explanation (no idea if it's true) that individuals were taking sick days because their banked PTO wouldn't get paid out if they're terminated on Dec 8 because of the mandate. So not a "sick out" that's organized, but possibly a lot of employees just taking their 'paid vacation' while they still can.
The guy's room seems pretty good acoustically.

The main thing is avoiding resonances / room modes. These will cause peaks and nulls in the frequency response that cannot be fixed with EQ. The primary way to do this is to avoid right angles; it looks like he has largely done this. In a more typical room where right angles are a fact of life, furnishings and bass traps can help with this.

The (lack of) sound absorption is kind of a tricky issue to discuss in a brief manner.

On an objective level w.r.t to room interactions, this guy's seating area is closer to the speakers than the side walls. That makes this a nearfield arrangement, meaning that the direct sound from the speakers will be greater in magnitude than reflected sound from the walls. This alone will minimize the effect of reflections.

On a subjective level w.r.t. room interactions, somewhat counterintuitively the goal for enjoyable listening is not to create a purely anechoic room totally free from room effects: this sounds unnatural and essentially just recreates a headphones listening experience. One can save a lot of money by strapping on a pair of headphones if that's what's desired. The human brain is, frankly, rather amazing at doing its own "room correction" and hearing through room issues anyway, as long as they're not massive peaks and nulls.

Well, if you mean Byzantine Empire (East Roman Empire with the Constantinople as a capitol) then absolutely massive amount of things shared it's time with it because it has fallen in 1453, even Columbus shared the planet with it.

But at this point, maybe incorrectly but surely, 'Roman Empire' is synonymous with antiquity so the republic and early empire, I think that even if year 495 counts here then it's borderline

One cannot simply open source without picking a proper license.

I wish there was a good 101 on licensing for developers. There’s a lot of misinformation around GPL being bad. Open sourcing your tiny web dev hobby project as MIT or CC0 may not matter in the grand scheme, but a solid library or novel algorithm, maybe you don’t want a megacorp forking it with no acknowledgment or compensation for your time and effort. Maybe the dev philosophically wants their code to be ‘free’ and pass on that freedom. A lot of content just says to slap on MIT or a BSD Clause without talking about middle grounds developers might be interested in either like LGPL, MPL, or even Apache.

clang does something smart with the switch, equivalent to this C code:

unsigned char lookup2_encode(const unsigned char dibit) {
return ' \r\n\t' >> (dibit * 8);
}

I'd expect that to be faster just from having the lookup table in the code itself, and not having to use a different cache line from the data segment (as well as avoiding pointer indirection).
