Thanks I'll check it out! What doesn't sit well with me is that someone can send weekly emails to 2k subscribers for free, but if I want to be respectful of people and not spam them all the time, I end up paying much more to send way fewer emails.

I was amazed to search for "social media behavioral sink" and has Google turn up a recent comment on HN I wrote.

One cheap personalization trick that works is to raise the rank of links that you click on preferentially. It drives SEO and other people concerned with their rank up the wall because they see it changing and can only speculate about what other people see.
Tenable’s scanner does that. I’m sure others do, too.
They got bought by Elsevier who I don't trust for a moment and they are pushing some weird social media angles and the whole thing smells of proprietary vendor lock in, walled-garden etc. Zotero is much more hacker-friendly.
> After being given the algorithm problem, ask for the specific runtime your solution will need to have. Almost certainly, the interviewer will tell you.

In my experience, interviewers will rarely tell you the runtime of the optimal solution.

Regardless, very interesting blog post.
It did with one lender I talked to (Rocket Mortgage). I'll check with another (probably First Republic).
We should thanks those to push software further. php, mysql, js they allow other project to improve.
I think you're right: some sort of personalisation could well be contributing to the discrepancy.

P.S. Driven by curiosity, I repeated my experiment from an incognito window and it yielded the same results. This time I looked at the results beyond page one, and at least the first few pages of results are 100% relevant.
Many interviewers ask candidates to explain their thinking. I don't think this dubious process of elimination would pass that test.
Unfortunately the RSS bridge doesn't work and also seems to be unmaintained, this is surprising given it seems to be set as one of the "core" bridges.

Data archival, retention and accessibility is absolutely fundamental and it's unfortunate to know that so many companies are hell bent on stopping individuals from using open-means to access such data (although I am not surprised, and from a rational perspective I can understand their reasons for making it difficult).
If you think malware ransom payments are the primary use case for transferring money across borders then you should get out of your bubble and make friends with people originating from other countries or with family back in those countries.
It's to get people to ask that question.
The UN is not a great example because the five permanent members of the security council can veto any resolution, essentially making it unable to fully function as a governance body.
No one has mentioned iLibrarian yet. No idea how its feature set compares to Zotero or Mendeley (I haven't used them much as I found them annoying in some ways) but there is a free self hostable version as well as the SaaS product. It is sufficient for managing my archive of papers.

Well, psyops is the term used for military level operations. Propaganda is for the non-military portion of governments, politics, NGO's. Marketing is for private, mostly commercial, entities.

Of course they have significant overlap in techniques & tactics, and all come in the same flavors: White/Grey/Black, categorizations that pertain mainly to whether or not the source is known, though also the types of tactics that might be used.

--White have a fairly clear attributable source & intent.

--Grey are more ambiguous. Usually you get someone else to say what you want them to say. Maybe they don't even know you're doing it, maybe they're a paid shill.

--Black are completely secretive
Yes, the "Massive ~2.3k Patch Series" in the article title give a better idea about this patch vs "2.3K Patch" HN title.
Copyright law expressly does not cover recipes, because recipes are instructions on how to make a known product, and no lawmaking institution wants to criminalize Grandma copying a box recipe and giving it to her children and grandkids.

Photos and anecdotes are the common mechanisms used to make the recipe content copyrightable. Even physical cookbooks have these; they just seem longer on websites, because the format lends itself to more text-heavy presentation than a book, which normally has a full-page photo on one side and the recipe/short anecdote blurb on the other.

But don't take it from me, here's the FAQ from the US Copyright Office: https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html

> A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a collection of recipes as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection. Note that if you have secret ingredients to a recipe that you do not wish to be revealed, you should not submit your recipe for registration, because applications and deposit copies are public records. See Circular 33, Works Not Protected by Copyright.

And here is the relevant court case, Publications International, Ltd. vs Meredith Corp. with the legal criteria:

> In addition, nothing in our decision today runs counter to the proposition that certain recipes may be copyrightable. There are cookbooks in which the authors lace their directions for producing dishes with musings about the spiritual nature of cooking or reminiscences they associate with the wafting odors of certain dishes in various stages of preparation. Cooking experts may include in a recipe suggestions for presentation, advice on wines to go with the meal, or hints on place settings and appropriate music. In other cases, recipes may be accompanied by tales of their historical or ethnic origin.

So, traditionally, politicians communicated via press release, either personally or via a press office. Of course, this had the disadvantage that newspapers etc might just decline to publish obvious nonsense.

However, there’s presumably nothing stopping her from issuing this nonsense via press release, or on a blog, or similar.
And that's before you get into VAERS being raw data, not processed data and that the numbers reported by VAERS are going to be higher than the real ones.
Things like MRIs are the last thing you want to be using ML to invent detail in.

This proposal basically says using ML we can quarter the number of frequencies we sample and still get good looking scans. But the full resolution is made by inventing details based on statistics from a biased input (most MRIs are taken due to something being wrong).

Again, as with super resolution, ML cannot add detail that isn’t there, anything it creates is simply based on the statistical model it formed from the training set.
> car repair, just being able to diagnose a problem will save you so much frustration

So many times I have had faults with cars, it has turned into long debugging sessions trying to work out what the fault is. Be very careful with intermittent faults: they can drive you mad for months even if your root cause skills are good. It certainly isn’t a relaxing diversion from my normal job.
I actually feel the same, but I didn’t feel like that with Atomic Habits. The way the author introduces the concepts step by step is pretty interesting and the personal story was kind of motivating for me. I actually went through the audio book first and then bought a physical copy. But I guess that is totally up to personal taste, you definitely won’t miss any crucial information by relying on summaries.

For many non fiction titles Blinkst (or similar services) offer a perfectly good summary of the important content. I get that some people have moral issues since the author is not compensated for his work, but I think buying copies of books where you found the summary helpful is a gold compromise.
I'm pleased the error message actually mentioned exactly what's wrong.

Compare the two snippets in [1]:

> Description: The FIP-FS Scan Process failed initialization. Error: 0x80004005. Error Details: Unspecified error.

I hope it's trend that continues because when it's going pear shaped every little morsel of information is important to narrow down the problem.

I'm less pleased they seemly didn't deploy this update to an internal on-prem test Exchange server before a wider release.

Sad but needed - it was not so long ago my wife had to resort to changing her picture to a blond caucasian women in order to book stays on Airbnb. If she used her actual picture the properties would suddenly be unavailable or had just been booked by someone else. She would always put her picture back after she booked and more then one jaw dropped when a non-blonde non-caucasian showed up - “how did I miss that?” But otherwise polite.

Airbnb proper seems to have a much different attitude and not afraid to challenge their hosts.

She would have the same problem renting apartments - in one case she walked into the rental office just two minutes after hanging up the phone and suddenly they had no units available and the rental agents were all at lunch and not expected to return until the next day.
Mountain biker here. If I may hate on your decision here for a second.

The reason nobody is talking about the bike you got, is because it is simply so bad, nobody who rides remotely seriously as a hobby or otherwise would even consider it as part of the category of mountain bikes.

I know you probably have fun riding it around on some dirt or gravel or something - but really, it's not a mountain bike.

Disclaimer - I'm not even that wild a rider at all.

I would have those breaks burned out in less than one decent, and probably tear the drivetrain apart on my first or second climb (tripple front derailleur? really?)

The geometry is whack and the tires are trash. That thing that looks like a front fork, is not. I would blow that up first day too, without a doubt.

I don't think you appreciate the world of difference between something like this, and even a cheap 2.5k ebike. (Yes that is cheap. You have the dollar store equivalent of an ebike.)

You should have saved your money and gotten a nice second hand kona hard tail or something, rather than buying and rewarding chineesium scrapheap contenders.

You're probably familiar with laptops and such to some degree.

This is the equivalent of someone buying the top reviewed amazon promoted laptop, sorted by cheapest, with some kinda piece of shit 1152×648 screen, 4gb ddr2 ram, 2.xGhz celeron processor, and telling people it's a gaming pc because it says gaming on the box. Then commenting how you find it odd nobody in the gaming space is talking about it :)

Harsh I know but... that's life. Sorry. I hope you enjoy riding and upgrade your bike soon. I just wish that such a e-waste disaster wasn't your stepping stone.
It seems likely that this is an issue with the code specifically, rather than the encoding of the files, based on the fact that they managed to roll out a fix pretty quickly.

This is cool, and the linked Medium article helped me wrap my head around the security of Bitcoin wallets. I have wondered in the past why people mine blocks, but not try to “mine”/hack existing wallets.

It would be cool to add a running counter for “X wallets checked” on the webpage.
The Joe Rogan part makes no sense to me. Only a fraction of the listeners of the podcast would otherwise go out of their way to read primary science journal articles. Reading those is a skill and requires background knowledge to be able to read between the lines, shared context between experts etc. Scientific articles aren't written for a lay audience.

Also, sci-hub exists.
Hypothetically speaking: going to scihub, pirating an Elsevier paper, and then uploading proof that you had done so to an Elsevier cloud account doesn't strike me as the brightest of moves.

Not in the sense that I think you are guaranteed to see consequences, or in the sense that I've actually heard about it actually going sideways, but to my intuition it does seem like the kind of thing that might attract one of those "pay us $10k or we sue you for $10M" letters down the line.
Cryptocurrencies do generate rent. You can lend them and collect interest on it.
Houses don't grow in value because they generate rent - they are deteriorated by residents and need permanent investment in repairs to hold their value. Instead, they grow in value if their environment and surrounding infrastructur improves because more people will want to live there and offer a higher price.
Likewise, if more merchants accept a coin, the coin is more valuable because its more flexible.

In relation to the article, it seems like Ingo Molnar did everyone a favor by doing some low level code clean up. I hope this gets tested and accepted.
Updating priors is hard.

So many in my family still haven’t groked that Covid is endemic, that kids don’t have a 50% chance of being hospitalized after getting Covid, etc.

I process their anxiety troubles as false priors due to too much media consumption, which has an economic incentive to have valuable fear-driven priors versus statistically accurate priors.

I just did a search for a python problem and got a stackoverflow clone on the front page. From a few different searches I found a clone with most of them. They weren't at the top, usually after 5th place. I've also seen sites that have just copied github issue posts.
If you've scrolled through tweet-sized brilliant insights and forgot them the next minute then maybe they weren't that brilliant to begin with? Or maybe you have a habit of mindlessly scrolling which you need to get out of. In any case, I find it hard to believe that people would prefer to read 200 pages which could be condensed down to a single sentence.
I totally get what you're saying, but in particular I protest against moral hypocrisy.

The very people complaining about being locked out of the housing market, being a victim of market conditions, would instantly forget about any and all morality as soon as they do secure a house. They'd absolutely not sell their house at a discount.

When they preach "accessible housing", they mean accessible to them. When their houses appreciate in price just for the sake of owning it, I would know of nobody saying: I didn't deserve this, I'm going to wire this money to charity or back to the government.

There is no morality in markets. Whilst as owner you may benefit, in times that you do not (economic crisis, expensive repairs, personal problems like divorce or disability)...absolutely nobody comes to your rescue.

Morals and markets do not go together.
> I think it's more appropriate to define a legitimate authority as one that acts in the interests of its constituency

Their interests as defined by who if not the constituency themselves? Legitimacy comes only from the consent of the governed, i.e. democracy.
Not defending Elsevier's practices, but people who get their information about the pandemic etc. from Joe Rogan are probably not going to read (or even understand) a research paper from an academic/medical journal. The problem with misinformation isn't lack of access - there are plenty of accessible, high quality articles that are written for the layperson - the problem is that people are reading (either through choice or The Algorithm) misleading and sensationalised tabloid clickbait.
> In the UK, if your shed is less than 15m^2 and is not used as living accomodation, no building regulations apply

And is 'temporary', right? I didn't know about the size limit, but I thought it had to be a sort of free-standing structure not fixed into the ground - i.e. you can make a concrete level base, but you can't embed your vertical supports in it?
> CR hasn’t completed an insightful review in ages. It isn’t even worth subscribing prior to a major purchase.

Could me extremely skeptical. "Independence" on YouTube is very cheap and easy to fake.

IMHO, YouTube is mainly useful for video of someone poking at a product, because for some reason retailers and manufacturers don't provide good enough media on product pages to get anywhere close to substituting for seeing something in person.

this is a mix of two technologies: htmx and hyperscript

The second attribute (with the code) is hyperscript:

https://hyperscript.org

The first two attributes are htmx and are pure declarative markup, which is the idea with htmx. htmx and hyperscript are designed to work well together, as this demo shows, but they are separate concepts and htmx tries very hard to stay within the original hypermedia model.
Yeah you're right on that one. I probably over-extended the use case here as I'm still just learning about this and thus tried to apply it to everywhere. I guess one thing you can maybe do is to use CI to validate that mlockall indeed has been called, haha. That said it's probably overkill as other tools can probably do this too.

While on that thought experiment, perhaps in general if you can use BPF/USDT to help trace/debug RT programs? I'm thinking of being able to verify/visualize timing for better tracing? Or maybe there are already tools that existing that I don't really know how to use (like ftrace + trace compass, maybe)

What's the process like for approving and implementing a series of patches this huge in quantity? Seems like it would almost require stalling on other pending issues for a significant amount of time while this is worked in.
The first example test given (rate limiter) gives a bad answer. I wouldn't use this method.
And how do you calculate that the C02 problem could be solved with $10T - $50T? And over what time period could an investment of 10T solve the problem? And how would it be done?
That's possible, but you'd need to clearly mark it.

For two feet it's overkill, but normally, especially if there is the possibility of going between the two structures, you'd dig down 4', lay down your cable so that it is going down vertically in both structures and is well below the frost line where you bury it horizontally.
This often ignores the cost of council rates, insurance, loan interest, etc. You need to be able to afford more than just rent to own. But if the bank approves you, it’s likely right because they don’t want to give loans that people can’t afford.
is that because they can't or are unwilling because of some expensive constraint. the average person can get ahold of a gpu for example if they are willing to pay a premium. I wonder if perhaps SE is stuck a little in the past as japan is with their fax machines. they could have moved to the cloud temporarily but im wondering if their app and scripts are not setup for that.
In the US, fixed rate mortgages are fixed for the entire term of the mortage. Anything else is called an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) and those are often 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, or 10/1 (referring to the length, in years, of the original rate and then the period, in years, of each subsequent adjustment period [note that if you see a /6 mortgage, that's adjustable every 6 months after the initial period, not every 6 years]).

It used to be that ARMs would have a "teaser" rate for that first period, which made them make sense to take out for some circumstances. Now, fixed rates dominate because the ARM rates aren't much lower than the fixed rates.
Not really, it can be bundled either as static or dynamic.
This just means your "one of them" I've used a $30 delonghi for 10+ years. Its fine, people consistently complement the coffee, only someone in the <1% of coffee drinkers needs a $150 grinder. Like most people are ok with brown water from a Keurig. Someone who wants a beginner recommendation absolutely doesn't need something that's $150.
> This makes it hard to predict when and how deep learning methods will fail (there are no theoretical guarantees that deep learning will work).

I actually think we know fairly well how deep learning methods work (and what the shortcomings are), we just have no way to interpret the models it produces. Wouldn't ML techniques to reduce scan times fail at the most critical moments, ie when patients had unusual or unexpected ailments? Using ML in on downsampled MRI images feels akin to having an artist with a lot of familiarity of human anatomy touch up a scan.

Interviews are really a dumb game these days so if you want to really game it you can go with a statistical approach:

* Practice questions by company on LeetCode, sort by frequency of last 6 months and work down the list, do maybe 75-100, the list updates once a week

* Search for the company on the LeetCode forums and sort by most recent. If a question is not on LC yet it will likely get posted there, so you can get really fresh intel.

I've read of people doing this and getting like 6/6 questions they've seen before.
