skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
When someone used the word “overfitting” I usually take that to mean that a model has begun to enter the phase where further improvement is leading to lower generalization.

In fact, as far as I can tell, we are not overfitting in this sense. When I have seen papers examine whether progress on, let’s say, imagenet, actually generalizes to other categorization datasets the answer is yes.

What we have been seeing is that the slope of this graph is flattening out a bit. Whereas in the past a 1% improvement on imagenet would have meant a 1% improvement on a similarly collected dataset, nowadays it will be more like .5% (not exact numbers just using numbers to illustrate what I mean by diminishing returns.)

If an institution or a lab can show that progress on their dataset -better- predicts the progress on a bunch of other closely related tasks, then as researchers become convinced of that, they will switch over. Right now there isn’t a great alternative because it’s not easy to create such a dataset. Scale is critical.

Imagenet really was on the right track as far as collecting images of nearly every semantic concept in the English language. So whatever replaces it will have to be similarly thorough and broad.

In my opinion the biggest weakness of currently existing datasets is that they are typically labeled once per image with no review step. So I think the answer here isn’t

“Let’s get researchers to use smaller datasets from smaller institutions”

It would be more like

“We have to figure out a way to get a bigger, cleaner version of existing datasets and then prove that progress on those datasets is more meaningful”

The realistic way this plays out is that some institution in the “cartel” releases a better dataset and then lots of small labs try it out and show that progress on that dataset better predicts progress in general.
Ask HN: Do today's best TVs benefit from professional calibration?
I think persuading people to self-host is probably a lost cause, you're essentially asking people to pay to put their videos somewhere that nobody's going to see them. If we want to replace YouTube with something less obnoxious (a worthy goal IMO) we have to solve the problem of actually getting an audience for the people putting out the videos to begin with.

It would be a couple of hundred million fine, but otherwise you are right. The issue with GDPR fines is that while they stop companies from continuing to do the exakt same thing (because they would be fined every year until they stop) it can still be worth the fine if you gain enough market share from violating regulations.
I agree the likelihood is small but when you're thinking along these lines[1] I think it's time to start making a move to give yourself some piece of mind.

Why is it my problem that a fair moderation process must be cost-effective for Google, et. al.?

Edit: Google's profit margins aren't my problem. If they want to be such a big, all-encompassing force in the "digital lives" of individuals they need to be held to account with fair policies for dealing with Customers. If that creates an untenable business for them they can either innovate in a manner that results in a fair deal for users and lower expense to themselves or they can suck it up and take the hit on their margin.

I don't use Google's various services beyond search, personally, but it's clear that some regulation is needed. Non-technical individuals don't understand the ramifications of relying so heavily on a platform that can be pulled out from under them with no notice and no recourse. Heck, even technical people don't seem to grasp it.
> Cash also fairly rapidly depreciates

Which makes it a bad store of value, but has nothing to do with its utility as a medium of exchange. We have lots of productive investments to hold value in between times it is is converted to cash for exchange.

Bitcoin is mainly attractive right now as one of (or an alternative to, depending on how you define “productive”) those, with a much higher average growth rate but also much more volatility than many of the other popular options.

That's normal. The Fed does that every day and so does any large credit institution.

Why is Tether still a topic? Bitcoin has no backing whatsoever! I imagine it's the same group of bored Tether FUD posters.

In my book this move increases the value of bitcoin because more of it can be quickly and easily sold for US dollars.
Yes crypto is gambling. So is fiat. This seems to be where people get confused. They think just because everything is priced in fiat that fiat somehow is immune from value swings. Which it's really weird that people believe that given how much the price of things priced in USD changes so much.

Literally everything is a gamble - there's no such thing as a risk-less vehicle for maintaining your wealth. Maybe something like bitcoin is more volatile than USD today, but that is not guaranteed to hold in the future.

Crypto is superior to fiat in every property of money other than stability, but with global adoption of bitcoin I suspect even that property will be more satisfied by crypto in the not-so-distant future.

RBAC: Design for users belonging to multiple roles
We are designing Identity and Access management for our Application.
We have different org using our app. Each org may have some sub orgs. Users belong to one or more sub orgs.
A user can have different roles in each sub org.
E.g a user U1 belong to Org O1 / Sub Org SB1 and Org O1 / Sub Org SB2.
Now user can have Admin role in SB1 and Non-Admin role in SB2.

Now when a U1 logins, user needs to select which sub org he wants to operate in and accordingly all roles will be fetched.

In standard RBAC, we can link user to multiple roles but that will give user all permissions in all those roles. In our case we want to ties user to multiple roles but those roles exist in different contexts SB1 and SB2. So we do not want combined evaluation of permissions from both roles.
Also we want to define permissions assigned to each role at one place only.

Is there any proven extensible design to serve these kind of use cases?
The recommendation/selection algorithm isn't their "secret sauce" but rather their content identification and classification systems. Any algorithm is useless without good data and only having one part of it (like user watch time and interactions) makes for some rather boring results, but if you can categorize the content perfectly you've struck gold.
Companies owning their transport assets was the norm for a long time. Until they figured out that subcobtracting that two dedicated carriers, in Amazons case FedEx or DHL among others, was better. Read morw profitable.

Amazon simply reached a point where they would have had to co invest woth their carriers. So investing in oen assets made a lot more sense. And Amazon has the scale, and means to control their sypply chain, to maximize utilization of their transpirt assets.

Worth noting so, that Amazon is using a lot of third party drivers, same as DHL and others are doing.

It is a good substitute for milk if you are lactose intolerant, but only if you have minor form. I doubt it helps if you have a severe form because it still contains lactose (less because fermentation) and it will certainly not cure it.

But aside from the potential benefits for digestion, which many people do indeed report, it is also quite tasty.

You don't seem to have a problem with Dockerfiles, yet Nix was around for a decade before Docker existed. If you don't want people to reinvent things that already work, then your complaint should be directed at Dockerfiles. In fact, you should go and complain at the following projects, which were (a) created after Nix, (b) try to solve some subset of things that Nix can already handle and (c) are strictly worse than Nix (e.g. less secure, not reproducible, not cross-platform, tied to one language, etc.):

- Docker

- NPM

- Puppet

- Ansible

- Salt

- Webpack

- Grunt

- Gulp

Except that bitcoin fits none of the definitions of a ponzi scheme, unless you think money as a technology for storing wealth is a ponzi scheme.

For example, under the gold standard (1870s until 1913), the US saw gradual price deflation, meaning people expected their money to gradually grow in purchasing power, yet (amazingly) the economy grew! Turns out deflation isn't bad, even thought it may look like a ponzi to those who don't understand it.

The most frustrating part to me is the shear amount of mystery meat navigation. I cannot count the number of times daily I cannot figure out how to use an app because of menus hidden to the sides, lack if scrollbars, or otherwise no indication that something is clickable.

Maybe I'm just old and curmudgeonly, but it feels like ui design has become a cess pit of ever changing ideas.

It's also beyond frustrating to me when things that should and could work together don't because they're from different vendors ans we can't dear give users a good experience because that might allow other companies to exist and users to be empowered.

Attention is more nuanced, operating at different scales. A common flaw in deep fake faces is pupils that aren't quite round, so this type of model could be used to target errors like that. Or if you had a picture of a library bookshelf, the model can attend to the details of individual books, and also attend to the letters of their titles at a per book level.

Because the GPL, specifically v3 is viral. The point being made in this statement is that the requirement to give back is potentially onerous for many commercial entities, and that this hinders open sharing rather than promoting it. It's a differing point of view. Notice that, unlike the majority of pro GPL comments, it doesn't use pejoratives or appeals to emotion to make it's point.

> a live quotation on an exchange can be traded and is thus by definition "real"

This is just a restatement of the thing that I was questioning.

Yes, it's real according to the definition that you've put out. The spoof order can be traded against. So? Why does this binary real/not real categorization matter for whether spoofing should or shouldn't be allowed?

An intelligent spoofer isn't going to place large orders directly on the BBO when the fill probability is high. They're going to be doing it when the correlated markets aren't moving against their order, for instance. Or they're going to put it one tick below the BBO and algorithmically pull when a trade hits the level above. So even if they do get filled, which is unlikely if they're smart, it's no big deal since they've made lots of money up until that point and they can get out of the unwanted position without much slippage.

Ask HN: AWS Mocking culture amongst multi-cloud engineers
In my last three jobs I've been working amongst multiple teams supporting mainly AWS, Azure and GCP clouds.

I noticed that AWS teams usually like to mock other clouds when people ask about issues their encounter.

One of the examples would be that AWS experienced engineer has been tasked to perform something on Azure platform and when they don't succeed they usually comment it with "On AWS it just works" or "we don't have the need to do THAT on AWS".

I'm starting to think most of AWS engineers would be so ego/aws-centric they will not accept that other platforms are NOT AWS and things are being done differently there as well as they have their own pros/cons.

I haven't noticed this type of mockery/commentary in GCP or Azure engineers so I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it.

The competition benefits consumers. Shopping is much more convenient than before Walmart and Amazon and they help keep prices low— that’s why I wouldn’t be a fan of the government interfering with the two companies.
I worked building landfills. The scale house operators (who weighed the truck) had some stories about accidentally tossed things. Someone came and asked if they could look for a silver metal box. Sure, they said your not likely to find it. They insisted on looking. What’s in the box? A lot of money.

The only success was when someone got there before the trash truck and they dumped it in a certain area and wallet was recovered.

For $500 million it’s worth trying..though who knows if the drive will even be in one piece.. though landfills are pretty dry and almost nothing rots. landfill archiology.

It's because one of Amazon's products is for the government: employing a huge number of people with no education or credentials, in a job that pays above minimum wage.

In the Earnings Call in July of this year, they said they now employe 950,000 warehouse workers. They're probably over the 1 MM mark right now due to the holidays. Yes, there are plenty of people working there that are overqualified, but that is the beauty of what Amazon is doing. Their onboarding and recruiting for this is incredibly smooth, fast, and will give virtually everyone a chance. And it pays above minimum wage. There's not many places that provide that sort of service in the United States.

Practically by definition, yes.
I suggest you exploit your reality as a cybernetic entity:

-- frequently check if your reading (etc.) is comfortable. If it is not, adjust your position, fix your environment etc.

(As opposed to those who strain themselves intensively or prolongedly out of inattention. You check your posture, your inner states, your state in general: you also keep a watchdog that your eye comfort is given.)

Edit: like for the rest, memory of the triggers for awareness of the indirect causes. Some factors have effects only after time, and they are of course more dangerous. Local attention is the base ("comfortable now" is the first requirement); practices that strain you with effect hours later can still be identified; the less evident factors could be a concern but they will probably gain relevance only if the former basics (avoiding causes for immediate and recent impact) are observed.
I'd add if you win the appeal you get your money back. That solves a few more of the problems I think.

That's not at all the case in my state. The state and county operated facilities were huge, and moved a significant number of people through the vaccination process extremely efficiently.

For testing, I've been to many facilities. The county run facilities have been efficient and organized, whereas the private ones were not set up as efficiently to get tests issued and results returned.

That said, my primary care office is now set up to return results quickly, so private seems to be catching up.
