The commit had a comment to the effect of being test / toy code not meant to be put into a release. I don't think a claim of randomly producing the snippet would be put forward in the hypothetical court case. Then there's the question of malice vs some other motive of expression in looping and printing some ASCII / zalgo art in your own terminal art lib.
But the OP was asking something different, that is why someone should excessively focus on theory, when, by the way, DL theory is very far from being solid and trial and error in ML and AI is the common way of operating.

The "model is in place, but I have no clue what's doing and so it can fail without me understanding when and how is straw-man". Especially for supervised learning, that is, we have a label for data, it is immediately clear whether the output of the model is "bunk, useless, or even harmful". There is no "fail silently by design".

I have been working in the field for almost 20 years in academia and in industry and it is not that I starting every PCA thinking about eigenvectors and eigenvalues and if you ask me now without preparing what are those, I would be between approximately right and wrong. But I fit many, many very accurate models.
I find this blog opprobrious
> Some are willfully ignorant of the optimizing nature of a free market.

Not really. The issue is more zealous believers in the "free market" quoting oversimple Econ 101 prescriptions at every opportunity.

When all you have is Econ 101, changing the price looks like the solution to every problem.
It has become more important to me as search has deteriorated in general. If I find a possibly useful site that isn't SEO-compliant, there is a decent chance I might not be able to find it again if I don't save a link.
Didn't know that! Wonderful!!
Because that caps the value of the truck long term.
Surely it has a more generic name, then.
My little girl was eligible for the RSV vaccine, as she was immunocompromised. It sucks watching/hearing our friend's kids being hospitalised by it, knowing there's a vaccine for it, but it's so expensive ($3000-$6000 /yr /child), unless covered by insurance (if eligible), that it's out of reach for most families.
yeah but 45% of Americans still didn't get vaccinated :)
Let's be clear on this: The majority of humanity is not okay with the idea of wearing masks full-time in all public places, and shutting down densely populated activities forever.

Masks make sense locally, temporarily, and as circumstances warrant. Such as a hospital or pharmacy during a flu outbreak, or when someone thinks they may be sick (cough or sneeze fits).

There doesn't seem to be much we can do to stop this in the near term. The idea of stamping out COVID quickly like we thought we could do in the spring of 2020 is gone.

It is time now to understand we live with it, to be cautious when we feel ill and isolate ourselves, and to get the preventative measures that help best (vaccines).

#2 and #3 are for imminent emergencies.
Thanks, I ran the tool and the text/background is fine, but there are a few places where it is not (mainly code blocks). I'll fix it.
The thing is, I already have to trust Apple because they can do anything they want on my device. Why would I want to add a third party to that, especially one that runs a VPN service?
> Maybe the JS language itself should vet and absorb some of these more common libraries. Printing pretty colors in a console could be a feature of the language itself.

Maybe Node.js should start shipping with a substancial standard library instead of making developers rely on NPM. Node.js can't even parse a multi-part request body without a third party library. So much for a HTTP server that doesn't even implement the HTTP spec...
Seems like the type of group we could definitely trust to have access to “emergency use only” back doors in encryption algorithms.
I've not followed this aspect much. Certainly the virus has long since cleared. So, what is going on with the long-term lung involvement? Scarring?
According to the paper “any compiler optimisation that breaks
the load-to-store ordering is disallowed.”
It really depends on the context. Driving is often the only feasible way to get around in sparsely populated areas, or areas with extreme weather.

In densely populated temperate areas, cars are often no faster than other modes of transport (although they may be more comfortable), and they impose a very high cost on others, including: fatalities and injuries associated with traffic accidents, premature deaths and reduced quality of life due to air pollution and noise pollution. Parking and road lanes typically consume a great deal more space per passenger mile than buses, trains, trams, bike or walking.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by hurting 'people who need help the most', but in most urban situations owning a car for personal transport is not an option for those with the lowest income, and no realistic policy will make it affordable.

Again, I'm happy to have my views challenged on this.
I wasn't trying to blame you specifically, so sorry if it feels that way. There's a lot of things posted about color. No one seems to take accessibility seriously, and in that space it should be one of the few things taken into account.

None of your header text or link text passes WCAG standards. So I don't know what recommendations you were looking at.
Yeah, the change from $125k to $500k is a huge difference.

$500k is enough money for a team with multiple founders who are OK with living on a graduate student budget of ~$30-40k/person/year (as my friends were, inflation adjusted, when we dropped out of graduate school to found Ksplice) to pay their expenses for multiple years, and still have plenty of money for hardware, hiring people to do specialty work they aren't good at, etc.

$125k is not, which means this change is a big shift in what is possible for a company raising money only from YC.

What this change means is that it's now more realistic for a team without any personal capital to start a startup and then bootstrap it from there, without raising capital from anyone other than YC (which I believe is experientially pretty different from having VC investors). Prior to this announcement, the main way to raise that kind of capital without angels/VCs on your cap table was the NSF's SBIR program.

Due to the selection process, companies accepted into YC generally are those that planning to raise a big funding round just after Demo Day, but I know a lot of folks who didn't succeed in doing so (some of whose companies are still in business 10 years later). This change in how much money YC offers means that failing to raise a satisfactory round at Demo Day does not mean they need to give up -- teams can spend a couple years figuring out their business if they think doing so is warranted.

(I have no YC affiliation other than having invested in many YC companies in the past).
> When you overtake a cyclist driving in the middle of the road, you have a longer time on the other side of the road while overtaking, than if the cyclist drives on the right.

The amount of time needed to move completely to the opposite side of the road as opposed to straddling the center line time 2 is not significant. The amount of time to actually overtake the cyclist easily exceeds that by a factor of 10 or more. In other words, there really isn't any signficant difference in terms of the time required to complete an overtake.
80k+ bookmarks... How many of them do you actually need and how many of them are FOMO?
You can make a fairly accurate guess based on estimated infection date. CDC data shows that the Omicron variant has caused the majority of cases for the past 2 weeks.

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#nowcasting
Clearly if all doctors stay home sick, then it will lead to many more deaths than if they all came in with COVID.

On the other hand, if only 0.1% stay home sick with COVID, then the effect of their absence will probably be to reduce deaths if their job can be covered by others adequately.

So what we have is a question of degree: there exists a threshold at which doctors (or nurses, etc) should come in even if they have COVID. And somewhat counterintuitively the more doctors who are sick, the greater the likelihood that if they came in with COVID there would be fewer deaths overall.

Exactly where this threshold lies is an open question, and will depend on the facts.
A four day week is going to get my attention next time I hop jobs. Before that it was remote work but now that dam has well and truly broken.

The shorter work week has the chance to be a major differentiator between employers.

I'll let employers in on a little secret. A lot of us will take more than a 20% pay cut in return for that day.
> Yea, I mean the only answer that really makes sense is "when it's over"

I wouldn't say that. On the extreme end, if I found out that this thing was not going to be "over" during my lifetime, I'd say it doesn't make sense to continue doing this for my entire life. What kind of life is that?

And to be fair, I'm from the perspective of the Bay Area which has some of the strictest restrictions in the US. If you live in a more red area then you're more likely to already pretend it's over.

> ask, if you're willing to ignore reality and just pretend it's over, why not just start pretending now?

That's what I've been asking myself. I don't know the answer.
Because Apple wants to keep their carrier partners happy, so they give them control over things that will have an impact on cellular data.

Like I noted with FaceTime over cellular, it's nothing new.
I get that "Hispanic" is a bad term (hello Brazil, which has nothing to do with Spain or the Spanish language) and that Latino/Latina is gendered and that in real conversation, when someone has origins in Southern America and is still in touch with that culture they'll eventually say something akin to "I'm Peruvian American" which gives me much more context (almost as if you couldn't reduce the culture and heritage of a whole continent to a single term).

But would the term "Latin" be acceptable. As in Latin-America?
I am in agreement with y'all.

In particular with you observation that this is a different class of "impossible figures."

Though I can also understand the counter-argument, that one can also construct objects which from a privileged perspective also "technically" are possible solutions for such figures.

I believe the (compelling) counter-counter-argument is that such solutions are AFAIK unique to privileged perspectives, but in this case, there is a whole set of such perspectives. You can rotate the thing through quite a range and still assert you're looking at an impossible pyramid.

Adding a single edge to defeat the premise that it's a "pyramid" is I suspect a formalizable distinction which reduces the impossibility (as others have said) to whether you want to hinge all on the word "pyramid."

How do you manage the temptation to think you'd get more work done if you worked an extra day? Do your stats show an improved retention of staff?

Do employees take into account the reduced hours when comparing salaries or is it disregarded similar to benefits like pensions?

Does the company rely on a sneeky bit of work done on an off-day, or is it a true, tools-down, have fun, day?
retain the one year term.

this isn't rocket science.
Yeah, I don't really drink soda or tea, and I didn't specifically avoid chocolate but I don't eat much of it to begin with.

I only had minor withdrawal headaches for a day or so and after that it was fine.
It's quite possible that they're a dubious organization, but this note hardly proves it. It's really hard to get a read on internal company docs without any context whatsoever, they weren't written for an outside audience and it doesn't seem surprising that they could cause major confusion for someone unfamiliar with the local jargon and so on.
Reputation boost amongst who, where? You partially answered that in that VCs, arguably who you're likely wanting to impress with your associations, likely take the YC connection with a grain of salt?
And you decided again to ignore my words about man hours. My point was NOT about electricity. I was saying how much money and energy all traditional finance related jobs consume.
Kind of, the idea is that no species would be invasive if we didn't create the ideal place for it to thrive. Invasives mostly thrive in disturbed areas and don't actually displace natives. The book I referenced goes into way more details, but in most cases invasives actually help repair damaged ecosystems. They are often pioneer species in the disturbed areas.

I used to work with different Oil&Gas companies in Houston, and one of the things that enabled this was that they started work at 6AM and ended at 3PM. Part of the reason was to have time overlap with other Oil producing countries (e.g. the Middle East), and part of this was to avoid Houston rush hour traffic.

I think it's easier to do 9 hour days when you start that early. It's nice to end your day at 3 and still feel like you have some daylight hours in the winter.
Yes, record them and compare it with the numbers of people that where fine.

The vaccine that was pulled very much came down to anecdotes vs numbers of injections in a cost benefit analysis. Presumably it would have still been administered to the elderly if their where no alternative vaccines. But as their where alternatives it wasn’t worth putting people at even such low risks.
Yet the worst is you are annoyed, not dead. Bicycles and cars are not the same.
> Personal conscience and conviction used to be held sacred in the US […] it has become politically incorrect to have a personal principle or conviction that contradicts the approved viewpoint, or otherwise goes against the grain.

I think you might have a grandiose mental image of America’s past. The 1798 Sedition Act ‘made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government or its officials’[0]. A congressman went to jail for speaking critically against President John Adams. President Nixon tried to suppress the 1960s cultural revolutions. The US has always had a bit more of an authoritative twist than the American History books write.

Show HN: A little ETL framework I built in TypeScript
Hi HN, I build this a few months back, thinking about improving it but wanted to share as is first to see what feedback I can get.

I built it to be modular and with a clean understandable codebase in mind so easily extendable. I want to add more components to it maybe...
Thanks!

Will add link to the repo in a comment now
You can still observe a related effect to this in Windows 10. Open up any large(ish) file in NotePad++ or most any other editor and place the cursor in the text and drag to the bottom of the screen so it starts scrolling. If you hold the mouse still at that point it will scroll through a couple dozen every half second or so, but if you wag the mouse side to side it will scroll through hundreds at a time in the same span.

To an extent, I can't but agree. The number of components in cycling is staggering, though. And I have seen far more people effectively buying a few seconds time in cycling than I have elsewhere.

And, at high end competitive, I don't really see a problem. Even low level, I don't see a huge problem. But it does exist. Is why I offered this as a "being fair."
Switching to decaf coffee was one of the best health choices I've ever made. I used to regularly have a mild headache on Sunday every week, but I haven't had that once since quitting. It's also super nice to be able to skip coffee in the morning (for whatever reason) and just get on with my day.

I did have a mild headache for about 2 weeks when I did quit, but honestly, the fact that that happened was just more evidence I was doing the right thing. Still, I have yet to convince another human being to give it a try. I guess most people are just too addicted.
Last I read, Moderna was also claiming as early as March 2022 (but possibly Q2) for their Omicron-specific booster[1]. Has there been other announcements pushing that back to the fall?

To each his own?

Like you’re free to worry about it, you’re free to be as safety minded as you want, you’re free to treat covid like the Black Death for all I care.

Am I free to just not worry about it anymore than I would the flu? (Which is very little, unless I’m going on a trip in like a week then I’m like I ain’t going out for anything)

I will pretend like covid is just a common cold until the fearful ask me to do some silly exercise like put my mask on at target so that their minds can be put at ease.
The same people who respond on Saturdays presumably?
So I think the motivation was, let's fight censorship. What gets censored? Speech, and also...money. OK then let's enable money too.
I've kinda had a similar perspective until buckthorn. Buckthorn is essentially eradicating native Big Woods forest, transforming forest that comprises an open understory with high canopies into dense tangles of buckthorn that choke out anything else. It also leads to these boom-bust nitrogen cycles that wreak havoc on the soil.

Many of these forests were just fine until buckthorn arrived. The problem isn't with buckthorn per se, it's in the destruction that it causes on native ecosystems. If the buckthorn was just here or there, an addition to the landscape, it might be fine, but it's not.

A solution to buckthorn overgrowth can't come soon enough because mechanical solutions, while effective, are very laborious.

Maybe there's something that could be imported to keep it in check (I recall reading buckthorn has some kind of highly specialized moth or something that eats it in its native range) but regardless of why, it's a problem.
It's definitely No.1.

I don't think you understand what cherry-picking means. Also syntax, grammar and pronunciation are important. Understanding the context is not enough.
There are legitimate reasons why a specific business network might not allow it. For example, if you're on the employee network of a bank or hospital, it's very likely that your web connections are going through a proxy to make sure you're not sharing confidential data, and to block malware and such. Private Relay would go around those proxies. Allowing networks to opt out of Private Relay, then, is a better business decision than having enterprise networks just block all iPhones.
It ends when people say it ends.

There will always be natural disasters, whether it's earthquakes or viruses. If it's a new virus, yes people are going to die, yes hospitals are going to be overwhelmed (in fact I would be surprised if hospitals aren't overwhelmed when a new virus hits, which just means that hospital was over-funded and has too many idle staff).

The virus was a creation of nature (conspiracy theories notwithstanding), but the lockdown and all these governmental restrictions are man-made.

Even if the virus went away, the lockdown can continue if people want it to go on. It can go on for the rest of human civilization if we want it to. Or it can end right at this moment, if the people go out and tell their government that it's time to stop.

This hasn't been shown at all, that study can only show that diabetes and Covid are correlated. There's no reason to think the causation doesn't run in the opposite direction.

> Harlan ruled that the vaccination law did not violate the 14th Amendment because the police power of the state may be allowed to constrain individual liberties through reasonable regulations when required to protect public safety. He reasoned that individual liberty does not allow people to take actions regardless of the harm that they could cause to others. Harlan felt that the plaintiff had failed to show that the vaccination law was arbitrary or oppressive, or not reasonably required for the safety of the public. He noted the increasing presence of smallpox, which prevented the plaintiff from convincingly asserting that the rule had no real or substantial relation to protecting public health and safety. Although the plaintiff presented evidence that some doctors believed that the smallpox vaccine was not effective and could cause further diseases, Harlan pointed out that the opposite view represents the common medical belief and is followed by more reputable doctors.

Regarding liquidity, that's not really contradictory to the definition. That's only if I meaningfully impact the price by selling, so I would have to personally cause the change to $100 or $5000 for it to be considered illiquid. If Alphabet goes down or up 50% because of a bad report it doesn't make Alphabet illiquid.

Do you have a functional cisdar/gaydar? Mine seems to be broken.

Less flippantly: you don't necessarily know, a priori, what someone's pronouns are just from their name and/or profile on some web service. That's why listing pronouns is, at the absolute minimum, socially useful.

I never said that this would be good for large game companies. To me NFTs remove control from them which is not desirable. I think it fits better with smaller companies or people outside of the games space who just want to quickly add digital items to their products which are able to be bought, sold, traded, etc.

Similarly self custody isn't great for all users. It's great that a company can get you back your items if you get hacked.

What? Define “most” here, because every actual system language has a stable ABI, otherwise they can’t be used for system libraries.

If you include toy languages, you might get there.

Even languages like Go and Rust recognize that at API boundaries you need a stable and defined ABI.
