Curious that they shut down the internet in response to the riots. It helps stop the crowd from organizing but maybe there is more going on that caused the mob to act in the first place... Besides the inflation and gas price issues mentioned.
Agreed.

The thinking is societal collapse = bad; Orange Man = bad; so Orange Man = societal collapse.

Honestly, it's exhausting at this point no matter what you think of Trump.
I’m not going to name my employer, but I agree that it’s an excellent vessel for the upper middle class to invest their money.

I wish more entrepreneurs saw the value in semi-professional and maybe even small time investors and green energy investment. Exactly because it gives people more opportunities when they rank up the 100k Danish kroner to reach the negative interest, and green energy is still in a place where everyone can have an impact and see nice returns.
You're summary is incorrect.

Rather, these are simulated data for a fictitious company. The author is demonstrating a scenario in which a purely frequentist approach to A/B testing can result in erroneous conclusions, whereas a Bayesian approach will avoid that error. The broad conclusions are (as noted explicitly at the end of the article):

- The data generating process should dictate the analysis technique(s)

- lagged response variables require special handling

- Stan propaganda ;) but also :(

It would be cool to understand what the weaknesses or risks of erroneous conclusion to the Bayseian approach in this or similar scenarios. In other words, is it truly a risk-free trade off to switch from a frequentist technique to a Bayesian technique, or are we simply swapping one set of risks for another?

tl;dr
The author's point is not to make a general claim about the aggressiveness of CTAs.
> That's not what woke means though, it's clearly about hypocrisy and insincerity and performative pointless acts or gestures. Did you not read the definition I gave you, or were you being insincere when you asked about the meaning of the word in the first place?

You seem to be the one asserting that the word has only one true meaning. That is absolutely false. The word originated with one meaning and has been co-opted by other groups including onew that have used word in ironic or sarcastic ways that have twisted that meaning.

It is thus perfectly legitimate to ask people, especially those who you think are using the ironic meaning, what they mean when they use the word

Actually it's contributing way more than people think, particularly in places where it's fully illegal and technically not accounted.

In places where it's fully illegal, there are two main patterns:

1. Small dealers effectively layer the funds and forget, by paying for goods and services in cash, effectively creating demand in other sectors. The actual production increase is difficult to calculate, but it's certainly there.

2. Larger dealers have full laundering operations that, simplifying a lot, make their production seem to come from somewhere else and have it taxed accordingly.

While in places where it got legalized it's often advertised the amount of tax revenue that generates, it's difficult to account for the actual increase in overall revenue, especially because the scenario 2.
What's funny about this type of data is how outdated it can be. When I used to have CapitalOne (I think it was them) their app showed a more elaborate credit report which included job history and other things. My job listed was a job I haven't worked at for nearly a decade. I can't imagine how inacurate this is. On the other hand, the data in aggregate might be useful to determine what kinds of jobs people have in different regions or something to that effect. I certainly hope the data is not shared with full doxing information to people like Facebook, that is horrific to think Facebook has your credit score attached to your profile.
We did a hire fast and fire fast trial at work and it was not pleasant. The person comes on the team and we spend a lot of time onboarding, people form bonds, and then frustrations start to mount and the person is let go and now the whole team morale is lower. Lower team morale is not something to take lightly.

This is a strange conclusion considering non-democratic political changes cause plenty of chaos. Russian Revolution, the Chinese Civil War, the Protestant Reformation and accompanying violence, the Boxer Rebellion, all come to mind. Of course changing political systems will cause violence. Look at Kazakhstan. The current protests have very little to do with democracy in their cause. People would have been protesting high gas prices without the goal of having democracy. But autocrats will blame the political side of things when the cause is purely economic.

The real question is what happens once democracy has taken hold.

If I were designing the tech, and people used it to forward videos and images to thousands of people, I wouldn't want to have thousands of copies of the file on my server, all locked behind different encryption keys.

Technically it's possible that: my client encrypts the file with locally generated key A and uploads it to WhatsApp's server. The server returns a URL. My client takes key A, and sends it to Bob along with the URL, and this message is encrypted with Bob's public key.

When I want to send the same file to Charlie, or Bob wants to send it to Dominic, my or Bob's client just needs the URL, and the key A...
I wrote this post for beginners and most of them never read the docs before hacking on production code.

Lazy querysets aren't dangerous but it's always best to evaluate them before rendering anything in order to avoid secret SQL queries. Many developers never run EXPLAIN, so these extra queries go unnoticed until your server crashes during Black Friday.

I don't see why your database table needs to encapsulate the app's name. Most apps get rewritten at some point but databases can live for centuries. Why couple code with your data?

Maybe I should be more humble to please sensitive people like you but no thanks. If a simple blog post hurts your feelings then you need to professional help.

You do not like what I post, but you have nothing to respond with and so you are instead clawing for anything in order to discredit me and my fresh YC account.

A full US nuclear attack on the Soviet Union and its allies in the early 1960s was estimated by the Pentagon as probably killing ~100 million in Western Europe due to fall-out and 600 million in total - "100 holocausts" as Daniel Ellsberg described it.
I like it. At least you know your homework is not an actual client project (that multiple candidates will end up doing for free).
Imagine you have a tech industry that merged with madison avenue along with psychological methods learned from Guantanamo and CIA Black Sites, and you wanted to build a societal manipulation machine, otherwise known as propaganda. Makes me wonder if there is any relation between the changes mentioned here and some of what the social media infrastructure has been used to do.
Nah, owning up means suffer the consequences of ones actions, in my opinion he owns up to nothing, he barely says he's sorry, but he doesn't care too much about the consequences, that's quite different if not opposite.
That was sort of my point, but I may have drowned it in a little too much negativity.

I do however think we should work with capitalism as a model though. It’s quite obvious to me that it needs a strong political regulator to make sure it doesn’t run amok. I’m not against inequality for the sake of being against it, but I do recognise that too much inequality and too few opportunities for a lot of folks is potentially dangerous.

>>What exactly does this woke agenda push, if I may ask?

I don't know anymore.

In some circles / historically it is used to denote liberal/progressive agenda. It's sometimes (often?) meant to be negative/slur, just like some people will use "Socialist!!!" believing it a derogatory term.

However, increasingly it's used as generic term in various conspiracy circles - "Wake up to the truth!" transmogrified to "Woke!". So Woke will be claimed by those who understand the truth about Illuminati/Freemasons/Rothchilds/Vaccines/5G/EM/Israel/etcetcetc.

So between whatever original use there may have been designed, vs today's actual usage on the interwebs, I don't personally find it a useful nomenclature that I can interpret on its own with any degree of confidence. 90% of the time I find it in short rambling sentences of the format of either "Their pushing their fascist woke agenda!!!" or "be woke, don't be sheeple". I generally don't find the term used in any discussion that ends up being in any way productive or enlightening.

(note also my experience that, anybody using it, in any of the above and myriad other senses/terms, will strongly believe their is the only obvious correct usage and resent the notion that there's lack of clarity)

GDP isn't a measure of human development or happiness. Cuba has lower infant mortality and higher life expectancy than most countries on the same continent, despite the brutal (and illegal) blockade by the US. They're doing a great deal with very little, which if anything suggests the "regime" is very effective.

There were some protests in Cuba, of course as usual presented in the western media as anti-government. Unsurprisingly, they were dwarfed by pro-government counter-protests.

They both have the opportunity to upgrade it.

The BIOS holds a copy of the microcode and this can be upgraded by upgrading the BIOS/EFI (bundled with BIOS updates). The same for the OS.

On boot the BIOS loads it's update first, then the OS, provided each is newer than the currently loaded microcode.

So the idea is that if you don't like this update, you need to prevent your BIOS from updating (or downgrade it), and then also configure Linux to ether not upload it's microcode, or load a specific one.

> I'm blaming the decade+ of Intel dominance for killing any chance of ECC becoming popular in non-server environments

I disagree. AMD has offered ECC support for a while and it’s not catching on. It doesn’t make sense to blame this on Intel.

> Motherboard traces are ~free and the feature is in the die already, so it requires zero expense to offer it to consumers.

Yet it’s missing from a substantial number of AMD boards, despite being supported. You have to specifically confirm the motherboard added those traces before buying it.

Traces aren’t entirely free. Modern boards are densely packed and manufacturers aren’t interested in spending extra time on routing for a feature that consumers aren’t interested in anyway.

I agree on the kitchen appliances front and I am just about to buy a slow cooker and a steamer these days and I am sure it's going to improve things a lot.

But the so-called kitchen robots? They are incredibly useful but they make a mess of themselves that you have to clean thoroughly afterwards. They save effort but they don't save time. That was my overall point. And I am not praising the cutting board and the knife per se, I am saying that if you are in the mood to use them for 10-15 minutes then they are sometimes the better options.

But in general this wasn't the topic, I was merely saying that time is not being saved very much these days, at least not the maximum extent that's IMO possible with today's technology. But I recognize that not everyone agrees.

The short answer for Thunderbolt 4 over Thunderbolt 3 is "a second 4K display" thanks to double the PCIe bandwidth, 16Gbps vs 32Gbps. (The main data channel is 40Gbps in both.)

USB 4 is actually a bit more constrained than Thunderbolt 3, at 20Gbps data channel, and no guarantee of PCIe bandwidth.

> Thunderbolt 4 guarantees support for one 8K display or two 4K displays. A USB4 port can only support one display with no mention of resolution minimums. And even that isn't required as some USB4 ports will not support video at all.
Can anyone on HN help me with this: I'm sure there was a chat widget called something like "arrr!" or maybe "yarrr!" designed to be embedded in a webpage.

Can't recall how many "r"'s but I think maybe the exclamation point was there as part of the name.

I think it was maybe associated with Mozilla somehow. Or maybe CCC. Or even the Pirate Party?

If anyone has any leads, I'd be happy to know.
haha it's staggering how big the presence of NVIDIA is in the deep learning community, yet after all these years it's still a painful process to get all the drivers up and running in the correct way. Their documentation surroundg CUDA and CUDNN are often out of date and/ or incomplete. Staggering
I bought my first pirated warez in Poland as a teen. I bought Atari ST games copied onto 3½-inch floppies at a shady market stall in Szczecin. Good times!

Sharing culture was strong even without the internet back then. I still fondly remember when I got hold of what was probably the first audio cassette tape to go viral in Norway. It was of a really angry North Norwegian cursing and cursing and cursing because he couldn't fix his bloody washing machine. Very colourful!
I read close to 70 books last year and learned to skim all the filler by scanning down the page, reading a paragraphs first sentence until I get past the filler. Or I skip complete sections/chapters based on their titles. Business books all follow a formula with clear chapter descriptions and authors guide to content in the intro. I haven’t found summaries valuable because it’s not always the authors main point that sparks ideas for me.
Thank you! I'm happy to be (still) posting here too :-)
Nothing is new and we aren't all that unique, haha.

The more you described your issue and how you deal with it the more I thought the same "are you me?".

Instead of tech writing I try to produce music (still learning, just 3 years in) and I ended up using the same subterfuge: when I avoid opening my DAW to make music I just tell to myself "open it, create a motif with a preset sound you like and save the project", something that wouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to be done with. After I start with that most of the time I simply keep going.

I try to apply the same to work tasks, it's just a little harder to get the initial commitment when I feel very paralysed, every time I do the "just 5 minutes" thing it does work though.

They always have fuses for this stuff. They have fuses for everything. Modern silicon has piles and piles of chicken bits and fuses to make sure they cover all their bases. There is zero chance they didn't have a hard fuse to disable a known controversial/segmentable feature like AVX-512.
Seems one more reason why Mozilla is failing? hard to get anything done without someone internally raising political.concerns. Imagine the meeting time wasted on this. Better ways to spend ccrporate time.

I see it used much more on the right, such as in the comment that started this subthread.

I don't know if it's sad. Realizing this is not going to change, but one can change one's own outlook on it. Currently, I use it as a filter: if I see this in a discussion, I know there's nothing for me to learn. And people show their 'true' colors, when they bite on these easy and emotional pseudo-discussions. So I have a free filter that works really well, and I don't have to do anything for it. :)
Oh yes, I completely agree with the laundry part. That indeed was the biggest time saver in my household as well.

> Being able to search through your photo library by person is a real improvement that ordinary people notice and use.

Agreed and I want that as well but I will not use Google Photos. And Apple's Photos it waaaaaaaaay too slow into adopting this -- at least it doesn't allow you to specifically say "please can my library now", which would be of tremendous help. So I am left with searching open-source software for this which I haven't yet found -- but I didn't look too hard because I have a ton of other things to do.

Any recommendations btw?

Mr. Robot is less House M.D. and more Paper Trail, only with a definite protagonist and a whole lot of mental issues. At least as far as first season (of Mr.Robot) is concerned.
+1, though I think it's more complex. There are:

a.) A lot of contexts where it is reasonable and decent to do.

b.) A lot of contexts where it is not reasonable nor decent to do.

c.) A lot of people who aren't so good at distinguishing a.) from b.).
Well, better in every way except for implementation complexity. It would be an interesting project to try to make a codec that can be implemented in, say, a few hundred lines of code, and can beat JPEG on quality/size while being somewhere in the ballpark on performance (or swap those last two constraints).

During the Cold War, the US government, via the United States Information Agency (USIA)[0] delivered all sorts of propaganda to our ideological adversaries, in particular communist countries. They usually tried to reach the average person and thus skew opinion in our (America's) favor.

I got a glimpse of some of this because I was an exchange student in the 80's, in a program sponsored by Congress and considered relevant to said Cold War. It was pretty interesting! Plenty of eagles and big cars and class mobility, but also a lot of stuff about freedom of thought and expression.

I remember at the time being quite miffed that they were not allowed to intentionally expose US citizens to any of this propaganda -- US expats were not even allowed to use the America-sponsored libraries abroad -- because it seemed like keeping it open would encourage the government to send a message that, broadly speaking, Americans agreed with.

Now that I'm older, I'm not sure. I think maybe it was better for them to have a freer hand in propagandizing, without having to argue about every point in a domestic context. Nowadays, however, it's hard to imagine that secrecy working at all so it's just as well they gave up.
