Earning $228k/year will definitely get you a decent house in the LA area. Especially if you also have a spouse. With $228k/year, you can afford Pasadena, Santa Monica, Culver City, Malibu, San Marino, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino Hills, La Canada Flintridge, Thousand Oaks, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, and other nice areas with good houses and schools.

$228k won't get you a house in a bougie area like Bel Air, Palos Verdes, or the Hollywood Hills, but at that point you're talking about mansions, not houses.
That brings up the question of what one means by "sex". As I understand it, sex is primarily about the kinds of gametes one produces - either large gametes (female) or small gametes (male). The genetic implementation of that is in some sense a secondary detail, since it varies between organisms. Reptiles, for instance, only have XX chromosomes and sex is determined by environment (or something like that).

I would expect that in this case the mushroom still only has two types of gametes, and hence only two sexes. There's just an added bit of complexity determining whether a particular pair of gametes can produce a new organism.
Assembly 3! I've never used 4 or dodo. Do you recommend?
Thank you! For the growth factors, we do not have any plans currently for producing them in-house, however there are several companies within the industry (Future Fields for example) that are making great progress in developing animal-free growth factors. Right now, using precision fermentation seems to be the preferred method of production. This is essentially beer brewing but the yeast is modified to produce a certain protein/ growth factor. Since this process is yeast based, it should scale fairly well, as yeast is resistant to the stresses found inside the fermenters.
This is.... questionable at best.

Picking fights to prevent diversity? This really feels like they're trying to intentionally prevent minority and the underrepresented from joining this college.

Alternatively, do not track personal data and do not show any forms.
Rust has equivalent functionality but it works on syntax trees rather than token streams, so you write `#[cfg(target_os = "macos")]` as an attribute rather than wrapping an arbitrary chunk of text in `#if`/`#endif`.
I don't give a shit either way. But, damn, this backfired pretty bad for DDG.
I'm interested in those answers, too. I imagine it's much less waste because you can feed the cells just what they need to grow, instead of feeding the bacteria in the guts of an animal.
Mathematicians would disagree with you there. There are no coordinates to transform in an ordinary tensor space and therefore no way for a tensor to be affected by such a transformation.

Matrices (or linear transformations in general) are important examples of tensors. There's a nice adjunction between tensor spaces A(x)B and the space of linear transformations B=>C given by:

Hom(A(x)B, C) = Hom(A, B=>C)

In the case of Tensorflow I think they do actually still talk about linear transformations of some kind so it's perfectly fine to call them tensors.
Has the word Homotopy continuation ever appeared in proposals for new solver designs?

Did you read the linked tweet?

"At DuckDuckGo, we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation."

Sounds like they very much had a choice, and chose censorship. If they didn't and are actually just subject to Bing's whims, then they're lying. Neither of those are good.

I skimmed the landing page. It looks like a collection of existing products and they are saying here’s how you could build on ramp and off ramp products.
They are basically saying use our product to handle fiat currency and the customers. And once fiat leg of transaction is complete it’s upto you to manage the crypto part.
I don’t see anything Crypto specific product here. For example, custodial Wallet as a solution.
Am I missing something super obvious?

That's not kettle logic, that's a mode of legal argumentation that deals with boolean "and" constructions of a law.

If some charge requires both [A] and [B] for the accused to be guilty, then this argument is that it's neither [A] nor [B], but the defendant is innocent if they can prove either half of the argument, since the condition is "[A] and [B]", not "[A] or [B]".
That brings up a question. If someone were within their rights to use deadly force, would they only be acquitted if they used it intentionally?
Tesla has elevated cost-cutting-as-a-virtue to the highest art form. I'm impressed. But they're also making a run at the "only evolve, never redesign" mantra for their cars. This may change with time as more competition enters the EV market.

In the past you'd get your information via your city newspaper, maybe the NYT/WSJ or another national newspaper if you strived to be "well informed" and then your choice of the NBC/ABC/CBS nightly news because cable didn't exist yet.

For most of the '60s, inflation was below 2%, while interest rates were 3 to 5%. Inflation started picking up north of 3% in 1967, and interest rates climbed along with it, to 8%.

High interest rates (especially above inflation) create an incentive to save money, and keep property prices low. The higher borrowing costs keep the bid prices of property down, and the positive real interest rate means people don't need to speculate on assets like real estate to save their money.

Other comments have included ML in their descriptions and I don’t agree. Both analytics and ML can fall under data science but there is a clear line between the two.
I'm cautiously optimistic. While technology might conceivably allow us to live significantly longer, thus creating a population problem, we are already seeing a curbing of population growth in the most technological civilizations today. Perhaps there will be something to living longer as a human that compels reproduction less so than otherwise, especially given that birth control is available. I certainly hope that I get to have a long enough healthspan that I can accomplish even just 1/10th of the things I want to do but won't have the time to do.
Beyond Meat is not meat though. It's not even close in taste.
Let us not try to discount the complexity of the Russian motivation for war (and no matter what they are, it's still morally wrong).

Firstly, Ukraine was most prosperous in 2013. Even in recent years, Ukrainian wealth was growing more slowly than that of, say, Belarus. Even with sanctions, up until the pandemic, Russian GDP per capita PPP was increasing at a similar rate as with Ukraine. So it is unlikely that this was the only motivation, Ukraine was never on track to becoming more prosperous than Russia or it's satellites, nor even becoming relatively more prosperous in recent years. Indeed, Ukraine's economic system is pretty similar to that of Russia, and both countries have had similar levels of corruption by various indexes.

Then, there are obviously many other possible motivations, neither of them were a justification alone, and many analysts squabble still about what they were. So yes, "it's complicated".
I'm not sure what failure to reliably discriminate between real pictures of people I don't know and therefore wouldn't be able to recognize and (what are basically composite) computer-generated people who don't exist is supposed to prove. Artists who can paint a picture of someone who doesn't exist that I can't tell from pictures of people who do exist, and I could probably piece together somebody who doesn't exist in photoshop from pieces of people who do.

Also, a weird-ass set of conclusions here:

> People are also excellent at incorporating context and background knowledge into their judgments in ways that computers mostly aren’t, and in ways that the sorts of tasks in these studies mostly don’t assess. One exception is a pair of deepfake videos of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un included in the video study. People were much better than the model at classifying these videos. Whereas a majority of participants correctly spotted these fakes, the model was way off, highly confident that they were real.

> Here, people may have taken into account factors like their memories of previous statements made by these leaders, or knowledge of what their voices sound like, or the likelihood that they would say the sorts of things shown in the video: all things not included in the model at all.

Couldn't it just be because they were bad imitations of people they recognized? Isn't the entire ominous point of "deepfakes" to deceive people by presenting them with people the recognize doing things they didn't do? Looks like people still don't have a problem recognizing those as false.

The only good "deepfakes" I've seen are ones that have been extensively touched up manually, using the automatic part as raw material. New techniques have certainly made that a lot cheaper.
Show HN: Ratarmount – Access archives through FUSE 100x faster than archivemount
Hello everyone,

After more than two years of development, I feel like ratarmount is ready to be shown.

With ratarmount (random access tar mount), you can FUSE mount not only (bz2, gz, xz, zstd compressed) TARs but also zip and rar files.

There are multiple features discerning ratarmount from the existing archivemount. For starters, access to mounted files is actually fast no matter how large the archives is. E.g., for 100 GB archives we are talking about milliseconds of latency with ratarmount vs. hours of latency with archivemount. Furthermore, ratarmount has a parallelized bz2- and xz-decoder and also offers advanced features like creating an index file for fast subsequent access, union mounting, bind mounting, and even arbitrarily deep recursive mounting.

It can be installed via pip:

pip install ratarmount
ratarmount archive.tar.gz mountpoint
ls -lah mountpoint

Or via the experimental AppImage I created this week:

wget -O ratarmount 'https://github.com/mxmlnkn/ratarmount/releases/download/v0.10.0/ratarmount-manylinux2014_x86_64.AppImage'
chmod u+x ratarmount
./ratarmount --help

The project page is:

There are still crypto projects whose primary focus is privacy (eg monero). But unsurprisingly, it's difficult to spend that money without going through a KYC process.

I think the "dream" of truly private transactions was always unrealistic. Governments have many tools at their disposal to get what they want.

Even cash is only so private. In the USA cash purchases over $10,000 require a report to the IRS.
How do I determine the “key assumptions” of a startup
I understand the meaning and significance of testing the key assumptions,

In order for the idea to be viable, the key assumptions must hold true. These key assumptions need to be validated in initial user research (in my own words).

But I am somewhat at a loss in listing out what the key assumptions actually are. For me it is just the solution to a problem that annoys me.

Any tips or links to useful resources will be much appreciated.
Whether they were within their rights would only come into play if they had the requisite mental state (intent, recklessness, etc., as for the crime charged) in the first place.
Suppose I go off and make a search engine, with my own algorithm for ranking search results. At first it works great. And then five years later, I find that, by a quirk in my algorithm, I find that a new site has risen to the top of all my results. This new site was created as a prank, and it contains authoritative-sounding but incorrect answers to common questions. The results returned are still relevant to my users, but they are now factually incorrect.

Should I simply accept that this site is the correct top result for my users' queries, since it has been ranked by my unbiased algorithm? Or should I decide to put my finger on the scale, and redesign my algorithm (possibly by simply reweighting results from this particular site) to change the rankings?

Does the answer change if the site is not a prank site, but is propoganda? Or an earnest-but-incorrect flat earther?
That report says the data used for the banking system is derived from a computer model because they lack sufficient empirical evidence.
it's .. like a staircase. (none of these is management)

First there are the languages, coding, "inventing" hot water, forward, reverse and re-engieering, having fun and what not. Then after 3-5-10y, this wears out.

Next, there is architecture, design-of-software, blocks, communication-diagrams, all that. You do this with one hand while doing the above with the other hand.

Next, there is the team as a structure to program.. who does what, is good on what, should be taught what, etc. Again, do it with one hand while doing the above two with the other hand..

Next, there is the culture of people and of a group/team/dept/company, methodology and all that.

Next, mentoring...

Probably i am missing some step.. sure you can figure it out. They come in 3-5 year periods. And are not exclusive to each-other.

Like an uphill training, first you do the first 10 meters, up and down until sick of it, then enhance to 20, up and down to 0 and again, then 30 ...

i've been doing these for last 30 years, never stopped any of them. Just this year moved to actual management. Guess what, the only thing i've never done was hiring and firing. Ah, and meetings-in-calendar-shaping-life.

so.. it's not deadend. If you want, you can find what to apply your skills to. and Enhance them.. while doing some/all of the above with your other hand..

have fun
My perils with rss:

1. Too many formats, it's been 20 years since something changed in RSS formats, we should know by now what we need. Also rdf is really ugly. We should make one final rss format and switch to it.

2. There are no rules for guids. No maximal length, I've seen guids several kb long in the wild. Integer guids would be perfect (but uuid or some hash is fine too, just agree on some maximal length ffs).

3. no history standard, if site owner decides to show you 20 items and you go on vacation, when you return there will be 20 new items and the rest will be lost. I'm thinking something like ?limit=200 or even better ?since=5257 (some last seen guid)

4. Sites not putting entire article in, only summary.

5. Sites putting page navigation ui in articles.

6. Pages lacking RSS feed entirely.
where do you think the line is?

from what I was reading, in some Analytics teams you have people working on ML, others on Data Engineering, other doing business intelligence
Russia was waging a proxy war in the east, and used these channels as an propaganda weapon. So it's not so strange as you try to make it seem.

It's not the same as forbidding certain words and jailing journalists for 15 years for not agreeing with the state.
Unfortunately, all consumer electronics companies have this fetish for making products ever smaller and thinner. It dovetails with their profit motive: make things less reliable so we all have to buy more frequently.

When you think about it, it'd really suck to be failing to prove what is in fact your complete innocence and not be able to advance other defenses that could at least get you a reduced sentence (or even acquitted—correct outcome, wrong reason).
FFI is painful, to be sure. Making sure the bindings you say you're using match the ones you're actually using is tedious and error-prone.

Which is where CXX comes in: the static analysis tells you if you're holding it wrong. So to your first point, the compiler will tell you exactly what needs to change.

I don't know what the developer experience with D/C++ interop looks like, but unless I'm missing something big I'd assume you'd still need to make changes when the library has updates.
All of this is just another externalization of the bitter lesson.

I hope I'm wrong, but assuming these treatments do prove effective in humans, it won't be made available to the likes of us. The elite will get to enjoy unnaturally long lives (or perhaps escape death completely) while the rest of humanity is literally rendered disposable.

> I think the “planet-killing scam” is very HN-sphere thinking

It's not, at all. I've heard that phrasing or similar (that it's a pyramid scheme, that cryptocurrencies are wasteful) from people who don't even know how to find HN.

In the photography world in particular, mentioning your NFT is likely to get you laughed out of any forum in which you bring it up.

IMO if you encounter any non-technical artist "excited" about NFTs, tell them to stay the hell away, or risk being seen a bad friend. I tell people I will not help them, that I am very happily uninterested, and urge them not to do it at all.

It would be irresponsible not to.
Likely nothing to be noticed, however this will allow developers to use more modern language features, which may allow them to write better -> faster code.
I think the difference is that in Kettle Logic the presenter knows the truth, and the truth doesn't match any of the inconsistent affirmatives ... or else it mostly matches one of them but the presenter believes it's easier for the audience to swallow one of the other, false, alternatives.
Of course, such subsets exist. You can either define such subsets informally yourself, or you can find a total programming language (such as Coq), in which you may only write programs that provably terminate. Even without identifying specific subsets, it's quite possible to predict whether specific programs terminate. For example, it's trivial to write a program that loops forever.

Some people misrepresent the halting problem and its corollaries as "we can under no circumstance predict any aspect of the behaviour of any program", which is in fact wrong.

What is true is that, for every property we may want to assert about a program, there exists a program (on a Turing machine or in a Turing-complete language, so excluding any of the total programming languages) for which you will fail to tell if it has that property.

Vigilante warfare is very dangerous. What happens when there is a ceasefire or peace agreement, and some vigilante violates it? What if a vigilante unwittingly interferes with an actual operation by their side (e.g., by exposing an exploit their side was using), or ignorantly destroys a resource the good guys needed? What happens if a vigilante crosses the line and conducts what the Russians think is an attack, requiring a military response? For example, what if a vigilante finds an exploit at a Russian nuclear weapons facility (maybe without even realizing what they are attacking)? NATO intelligence agencies can claim it wasn't them, but of course they would - why would the Russians believe that?

Warfare is coordinated, controlled violence, not indiscriminate violence. The vigilante stuff is very dangerous and probably achieves little. Leave it to the NSA, CIA, etc.
Why do you limit your scope to digital art? There are plenty of other potential applications, from tickets, music and gaming to gumroad-like marketplaces
I actually wrote a GIF decoder over the xmas break (in C for 16 bit DOS for a game project I'm working on). In itself it's not to difficult. Once you've figured out the algorithm of when to add a new phrase to the dictionary and how to extract a code from the bit stream, it's pretty straight forward.

I had a massive bug however and I couldn't for the life of me figure out the issue up until two weeks ago.

Turns out, once you've reached a code size of 12 bits, I was "assuming" you should reset to the root code size, however, you should not. Instead of resetting, you should ignore either increasing or resetting the code size, but just keep reading 12 bits codes from the bit stream because from that point on, all codes read from the stream will be in the dictionary. The encoder will have inserted a Clear Code to reset and start from scratch.

It was a difficult thing to debug but once I wrapped my head around it, it made total sense. It was very satisfying to throw a large collection of GIFs at my decoder and see them being displayed.
The quest for better fuel mileages also makes a big difference. Cars looks like jellybeans for aerodynamics. It’s also difficult to get a 6 cylinder engine compared to the past.

Sure, Starbucks is negligible, but that much rent (assuming you're not in San Fran) makes the difference between a nice apartment in a nice location or a bad one in a bad location (or some such mix) in many place. There's all sorts of other implications that come with a better place that we can't necessarily chalk as simply extravagant unneeded spending.
>If Disney can't make Luke Skywalker, one of their most iconic characters, look good in a show with a budget the size of the Mandalorian

and yet are willing to put it out there that means actually they see this technology as important, it's the future for them, and what do you do when you think a technology is the future, that's right you invest time and money in using it so that you can improve it. It's not that they have the budget of the Mandalorian to do this scene, it's that they have the budge of Disney to improve the technology.

I would say in 10 years Disney in a show with a budget the size of the Mandalorian (adjusted for inflation natch) will probably have something really worrisome.
