It sets a not necessarily good precedent for future pandemics. In 2020 I read an article where they interviewed a mask manufacturer in Texas asking him if he would be expanding production. He talked about how during the swine flu pandemic he purchased enough equipment to open new production lines, he hired new people, and had all these capital costs. After the pandemic, the new equipment sat unused and he had to do layoffs. The business owner said he wasn't planning on expanding production due to covid
Well that's what was asked, the moral panics of the left, of course they are fringe. Almost all moral panics are fringe, thank goodness. Equating D&D with satan was also fringe. I had exactly 1 friend who's parents wouldn't let him play D&D because his mom thought it was satanist, or close to it. They weren't an overly religious family either, she just got sucked into the fear mongering propaganda.

My point wasn't that they shouldn't or should, its that they do. As you note it has been socialized into them. The problem is systematic, not something any one educator can fix. Bad teachers, and bad educational experiences create long term damage beyond not learning content.

Good tests actually assess learning - what you mentioned is not a good test. Just like a test that causes stress ends up measuring stress isn't measuring learning.
> Happily, there is induction, which uses electromagnets to efficiently heat cookware without the inherent pollution of fossil fuels like natural gas.

Yet about half of the electricity in NY is generated with natural gas[1], so most of the "benefits" this article touts, especially pollution, don't really exist. The other half comes from nuclear/hydro combined and renewables accounting for a tad. Same for electric car owners who think they're helping the environment. Nope, you just shifted the problem to where you don't directly see it but they contribute just as much. Probably more with the all of the inefficiencies added up from each steps of going from natural gas->steam->turbine->transmission lines->multiple transformers->charging car battery.

Neat, thanks for the interesting perspective. You mentioned you invest in your CS because you don't see it as a sunk cost. How were you able to convince the execs to give you money to do this? Sounds like a huge challenge
> will put out the gas too

Gas is obviously far more resilient, though not immune to more extreme problems. I’ve literally never experienced a gas outage, yet power outages are routine almost everywhere I’ve lived.
I think it's really just because there are no objective and enforced standards for it. I used to have a kitchen with a pretty high ceiling and a fume extractor mounted way up high, so high it was controlled by an IR remote, and it worked great while making little sound. Currently I have one of those integrated with a microwave oven that makes a lot of noise, blocks my view of half the range, and doesn't work at all. Plus even if it did work, it would vent right into my eyes, not to the outdoors.
You find it sad because you have never experienced the beauty of a society without malls. With small little local shops instead of the big corporations and high street brands that all look the same. Europeans have. But it is being destroyed by the malls.
>Nobody runs their solar panels less than maximally possible "because they can"

Energy prices can be negative when there's not enough load but too much supply. Not every power source can be just switched off.
Maybe it's simply because among the millions and millions of LA residents there are enough people who still like malls. Other areas might not be able to compensate the general loss of interest.

> This surge of infections underscores the indisputable fact that schools are and remain essential sites for pediatric infections and community transmission

Don't just assert it's indisputable, point to your evidence. We had a couple of close contacts in our elementary school class but of the parents I know whose kids got it, transmission was social from the outside the class, and masking and quarantining prevented further outbreaks. I know that's one anecdote, but it's already more evidence than presented to back up the "indisputable" claim.
Adidas have a highly automated shoe factory outside Guangzhou which is amongst the best in the world. I think it's safe to say they are moving from manual labor toward automation. Perhaps pressure from bad media like this will accelerate that process.
I don’t enjoy programming or do it for fun like I did when I started 40 years ago. But I do enjoy solving complex problems and making my customers happy. The coding part is mostly incidental in the bigger picture of satisfying customers (or bosses and users).

Eventually every programmer realizes that there’s very little actually new in the software world. Ideas and techniques that work get recycled and repackaged, and we can do more because of more powerful hardware and the internet. But programming today is not fundamentally different from what it was 2, 3, or 4 decades ago. At first everything is new and exciting, and small differences (like C++ to Rust, or PHP to Node) look like bigger innovations than they actually turn out to be. Most programming work is repetitive and not especially intellectually challenging after a while. That realization can lead to disappointment, boredom, cynicism. That’s when you have to find satisfaction and pride in other aspects of the career.

I knew a plumber who had been in the business for 30 years. Once he was clearing a clogged drain at my house and I asked him if he ever got tired of plumbing. He said the work isn’t really interesting, but it pays well. Then he said he loves fixing things and leaving happy customers. Programming isn’t any different.

> Just as we stopped using street cars when buses and cars proved to be more maneuverable and efficient

I think we "stopped" using street cars because cars became more affordable and made less expensive housing around the edge of cities (suburbs) possible.
I've lived in a city which never got rid of streetcars, and has a good transit system; and many cities are bringing back such systems.

> because it delivered a unique benefit once upon a time

Do modern libraries not deliver benefits still? Or are you arguing that the benefit of lending paper books is in the past?
I think that most libraries are adapting to their users, and have taken on new (digital) pieces in their collections -- but I do think there are still a great need for ordinary paper books for a lot of users.
The bean counters got their salaries and bonuses. Why should they care what happens next?

Natural gas for cooking is a negligible contributor to climate change. 2.8% of natural gas in the US is used for cooking. On a per-BTU basis (which isn't fair because natural gas has fewer carbons), the natural gas/oil split of US consumption is around 40/60. You're looking at around 1% of CO2 emissions in the US coming from natural gas used directly for cooking.
> I wasted my time reading this article, it explains nothing.

had you previously heard of the idea to process radioactive material this way? That was the point of the article, and they relayed that a physicist with credentials in the relevant area thinks it's a good idea.

Ask HN: What ML platform are you using?
I am interested to know what ML platforms you use for personal/hobbyist projects... Do you rent GPU instances from the likes of Azure, GCP, AWS or do you use managed solutions like Paperspace Gradient, or Colab? why or not?

I am very much a beginner in the space of machine learning and have been overwhelmed by the choices available. Eventually I do want to simply want to build my own rig and just train models on that, but I don't have that kind of money right now, nor is it easy to find GPUs even if could afford them.

So I am basically stuck to cloud solutions for now, which is why I want to hear personal experiences of HN folks who have used any of the available ML platforms. Their benefits, short comings, which are more beginner friendly, cost effective, etc

I am also not opposed to configuring environments myself rather than using managed solutions (such as Gradient) if it is more cost effective to do so, or affords better reliability // better than average resource availability... because I read some complaints that Colab has poor GPU availability since shared among subscribers, and that the more you use it the less time is allocated to you... not sure how big of a problem it actually is though.

I am very motivated to delve into this space (it's been on my mind a while) and I want to do it right, which is why I am asking for personal experiences on this forum given that there is a very healthy mix of technology hobbyists as well as professionals on HN, of which the opinion of both is equally valuable to me for different reasons.

Also please feel free to include any unsolicited advice such as learning resources, anecdotes, etc,

Thanks for reading until the end.
Hey, now I understand people who insult people by saying they have savior complex! It’s all about thinking you have agency and other people don’t.

> Many are nearly so. Giving people a thin veneer of token but not real freedom and token but not fair salary or decent working conditions doesn't absolve you of abuse.

“Real freedom”? “Fair salary”? “Decent working conditions”? What makes you think Chinese people can’t make their own choices? They’ve been leaving the countryside nonstop for 70 years. The pay for unskilled labor has been going up pretty much nonstop since Deng opened up. China has a lot bad about it but I doubt you would be pretending Thai people are unthinking automatons and they’re about as rich as Chinese.

> Raise people in an environment where people learn that how they are being treated is right and make everyone fear dissent and you just won't hear about many peoples feelings from the other side of the world.

Indeed. You could make children sit down, shut up and do as they’re told all day five days a week if you just told people it was normal. You could invade and bomb other countries with impunity. You could support other countries in intervening in civil wars to keep them going without end. Good thing we’re free. Good thing we right thinking people would never do anything like that.
Ethereum no, cos you can’t run a node, your just trusting an RPC provider. Same with the rest of the EVMs and other smart contracts platforms.

Dogecoin you can but it’s much much smaller in terms of ownership. Brokers and exchanges hold a lot of it.

What prevents pirates from capturing the island?
The problem is the incentives the rich can use are not available to everyone. The rich are generally not working W-2 jobs — their income is passive, subject to different tax rules. If you are working a job and getting a W-2 you are almost be definition not rich. The US income tax system is designed to extract money from the working classes. The wealthy can shelter their wealth legally, or illegally and let their lawyers drag things out to a settlement. The rest of us are stuck with having kids, buying houses, and scraping around for deductions.
sure that's the ideal, now how about the reality?

It's not more work if you're focused on the grade over learning; it's more work if you care about the grade at all, assuming the material is at all challenging. Unless you get a perfect grade on the first attempt (or at least a high enough grade to guarantee yourself a top mark in the course overall), you're going to feel compelled to keep re-trying. (And if other coursework forces you to leave it be, then to feel like you're missing out.) Better to be able to just put in your best effort the first time, and then you're done. I can only speak for myself, but I would have hated this system when I was in school.
Have you considered looking into statistics? As in, have you noticed how nobody's talking about the Uber drivers who pull in 100k+ per year? Or consider we're literally just taking a quote at face value here without questioning whether it's possibly hyperbole?

The reality is that there's a huge amount of income variability for Uber drivers, both on the micro and macro levels, so it's very easy to paint whatever story you want by cherrypicking quotes from the side of the bell curve that supports your pet narrative.

Interesting. I’m a rails developer, and to me one of the core strength of rails is active record (altho some might disagree). How would you compare it with rails active record, and which part do you say it’s much better?

Btw, I know this is superfluous and very shallow, but for some reason, I can’t get over the C# syntax because of how enterprisey it is. I much prefer ruby, but I guess it’s a matter of preferences and taste

and who's to judge it was useless? If you're the one paying, then you can make this judgement. Otherwise, you're merely putting your own moral values above someone else's.
Perhaps I didn't specify that perfectly. I wasn't saying English is poor in vowels, I'm saying that it is flexible in how you use them. Khmer has 22 specific vowel letters, each letter that indicates exactly how the sound is made, even the differences that of how the previous letter will effect the sound.

English has 5, and no real consensus on how they are used, let alone the tone of voice that you need to use to indicate a specific word.

In tonal languages a rising vowel note is different than a falling, rising and then falling, falling then rising, flat or tumbling tone. The closest English has is the rising tone one makes when asking a question, but that doesn't change the meaning of the words entirely, just the context.

While racially restrictive covenants and deeds certainly were a thing, at the time these subdivisions were created, the primary goal was to keep riffraff out. In many (most?) of these communities, the idea that blacks would be moving in was about as big of a concern as Eskimos. The notion that 1/2 acre lot with 100ft setback ordinances were racially motivated is silly.
