I think these kind of common task challenges are great for comparison. You see a few approaches to a single task and you can do a more aligned and detailed comparison.

Unfortunately, it’s also a lot of work. In this case, you’ve posted an intermediate stage artifact from R. If one of the many Python programmers reading this want to produce a comparable artifact they need to understand or run that code. That alone reduces your likelihood of getting any substantial replies.

Maybe add a link to an image of the resulting plot?
My productivity has abysmally dropped since the release of From Software's Elden Ring. A small thing (among many) that I loved is the "medieval" style of the game map. It's like reading a monk parchemin, or an old book. On an another level, the maps drawn by Tolkien are really superb, evocative and you just want to zoom in and start dreaming in this lands...

Ask HN: Who operates at scale without containers?
In other words, who runs operations at a scale where distributed systems are absolutely necessary, without using any sort of container runtime or container orchestration tool?

If so, what does their technology stack look like? Are you aware of any good blog posts?

edit : While I do appreciate all the replies, I'd like to know if there are any organizations out there who operate at web scale without relying on the specific practice of shipping software with heaps of dependencies. Whether that be in a container or in a single-use VM. Thank you in advance and sorry for the confusion.
It sounds specifically like a linear adaptive filter.

Depends. Many companies want to rely on long-term supported versions with security/stability updates directly from the folks that wrote a majority of the code in the JDK itself. Also as noted above, Oracle offers the Oracle JDK under a free-in-production license with overlap with the next LTS giving users time to upgrade.

There are very specific conditions for this to hold, mostly that the incorrect sample is surrounded by correct ones, and that the model is small enough or the error vanishingly rare. Notably the reference you gave also shows horrendous generalization performance, so its really just showing how easy it is to overparametrize. Input errors can be accounted for to some extent, but also under specific circumstances, eg.

You're misquoting. It is "presumed innocent". Most criminal defendants are guilty of the crime for which they are charged.

I think it can be really hard on lawyers at times. Society really frowns upon a criminal defense attorney's representation of a rapist, and of course their opinion isn't changed when the defendant is found factually innocent at trial.

The USA has a legal system wherein even a guilty murderer can walk free if the police used unconstitutional means to gather the evidence against them. This system was put in place by judges (not by legislators) simply because they were sick of police and prosecutors using these unethical methods to convict, and then there was no investigation or misconduct charges against them.
Java is easy to understand and it's hard to shoot yourself in the foot with (no raw memory access, unless you use JNI/JNA). Garbage collector makes memory management a non-issue. Exceptions make error handling easy. OOP is a simple concept and many real-world programming tasks can be laid out as a nice class hierarchy. Java's changes are few (as opposed to some other languages), feel logical (to me at least), and solve real problems. Most of "syntactic sugar" features don't make the code using them less readable.

Java also supposedly runs on everything. And, you could as well write Android apps in it.

Replying to my own post, but to the OP's point -- we can't research very well on US healthcare data in aggregate because it is so error prone and inexact to aggregate it. Data scientists should imagine what we could do with 20 years of la carte vitale data...or better of data in a regulated medical record format that was designed to be researched in aggregate. That's the second order failure here.

Spark 2014 – Expanding the boundaries of safe and secure programming
It's assumed in your post that readability review is nitpicking. It's actually about making the code idiomatic, consistent, predictable, quickly understandable, and low mental stress while reading. The "nitpicking" parts you referred mostly is about ensuring code consistency and predictability. But there are more to readability than that:

1) did the code use a third party library while a standard lib is sufficient? Is there a way to use native language features (e.g. list comprehension) to make the code more idiomatic to people familiar with the language?

2) are the namings make sense in the business context? Can a new hire read just the public interface and be able to guess the usage?

3) do people have to jump around, full-text-search the code base to understand what's going on? Is automatic dependencies injection being overused? How many things people need to keep in their head to be able to follow this code?

It's all readability there, and I'd argue it's not only about style or formatting.
The issue here is that your contacts did not agree to you sharing their information with a third-party.
> If they're not willing to [...] buy enough insurance to

The problem with this view is that you're assuming that the current risk created by drivers that society would benefit from moving to self-driving systems is priced into their current driving, or into their insurance.

Western countries have mostly decided that society should simply eat that cost.

If a child gets killed by a negligent driver the driver or their insurance is almost certainly not going to be "fairly" compensating anyone, to the extent that such a thing is even possible when it comes to losing a human life.

There was a case in The Netherlands[1] where a grossly negligent driver killed 2 year old and her grandparents by rolling their car over them in a turn they were speeding through. The driver got probation, and a bit of community service.

On reflection I don't even think that's a bad outcome per-se. Very few people could truthfully report that they've never broken the traffic law in a similar manner even once.

It's mostly just moral luck that decides the difference between that being something stupid you did in your 20s with no repercussions, and another equally irresponsible person being unlucky enough to kill a child.

So should that person spend 20 years in prison and be subject to wage slavery for the rest of their life as a result? Probably not.

Now, imagine the same outcome, except this time the CEO of Tesla or Mercedes is going to have to answer in court for it. "Mr. Musk, why isn't your company paying out these parents fairly?". Of course a self-driving car is unlikely to accidentally make that specific mistake, but statistically the outcomes might be comparable.

My point upthread is that we're almost certain to end up over-pricing the risk caused by self-driving vehicles, while directly and indirectly subsidizing the continued operation of motor vehicles by even more flawed human beings.

People are simply bad at reacting to diffuse v.s. concentrated risk, and are inherently conservative when it comes to evaluating the risk of something new, v.s. an even riskier activity they've gotten used to.

Yup... Tears filled my eyes upon reading this one.

I'm the dad of two little ones - we live in what I would call a mostly safe cul de sac, which is actually considered a Court given it has less than eight houses.

> At my law school, one of the top ones in the country, the Dean got up and declared himself a “white supremacist” at a town hall meeting

To explain this a bit more: there was a fairly wide conversation during 2019/2020 about systemic advantages for white people in America. One observation was that systemic racism which favors a specific race could be described as inherently supremecist - in this case, white supremecist. If you accept that argument then benefitting from the system admits sympathy with white supremacy, and so saying “I’m a white supremecist and I’m trying to do better” is a way to admit to systemic problems and to state a desire to rectify them. If anybody remembers the blowup at the Basecamp all-hands meeting, this was the conversation that happened there. Unfortunately the line of logic is hard to communicate because “white supremecist” typically suggests an active intent to displace or destroy other races, which is why the dean’s statement seems so bizarre without context.
>The reason why this technique doesn’t work is essentially that the PUCCH is too narrow. Its bandwidth is 180 kHz, while the reciprocal of the cyclic prefix duration Tcp is 213.33 kHz (or 192 kHz for the cyclic prefix of the first symbol, which is slightly longer). This means that, forgetting about the fact that the PUCCH transmission is not at baseband (which doesn’t matter, because the carrier frequency is cancelled in the correlation), the time-domain PUCCH waveform is more or less constant in every interval of length Tcp. This causes the correlation to be large regardless of whether t is aligned to the start of the cyclic prefix or not.

I wish this was explained a bit better; this feels like it was written for only those with the same level of experience as the author.

Holy red flags Batman. How can you be a serious security company while outsourcing such critical components?
Setting aside the sensationalist headline, the entire premise of the article is flawed. It's a case of not even being wrong. Of course you're going to get spurious results using poor data.

The author's attempt at using structured EMR data is the root cause. We have found that structured data, which the author attempted to use, is at best 35% accurate. Sure it's better than claims, but it does not reach the level of quality necessary to inform clinical decision-making. The reason for this is that almost everything clinically relevant is captured in freeform text fields--clinical notes. To build proper models from information in EMRs, you have to start with processing the narrative data, which is a hard problem.

Training models to interpret clinical notes requires clinical expertise. Clinicians record facts differently in different locations, and there are many different ways to say the same things, and sometimes they skip underlying facts because some other fact implies the rest. Different specialties record things differently too. You really cannot just throw some data into a notebook and hope it works. Even with clinician input, we still find that high quality results require ensemble models with multiple techniques; plain NLP doesn't work either.

Take for example, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the leading cause of liver failure requiring liver transplant. NASH is a complication of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, in which your liver has unusually large deposits of fat. NAFLD is not coded in structured data. To identify it from unstructured data, you have to extract concepts related to liver cancer, pre-diabetes, alcohol use, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, jaundice, fatigue, and loss of appetite. To make a long story short, you cannot do these things using structured data or naive NLP approaches. F1 is zero.

So maybe his point, "Data encodes clinical expertise" is worthwhile, but the rest of the article...not so much.

If you want a real story about takeover of the legal system, read about the Stephen Donzinger case. Donzinger represented indigenous Ecuadorians in a suit against Chevron. Chevron, having unlimited resources to put into the suit, lost in Ecuador- but has not paid their fine, instead attempting to make an example of the lawyer representing the Ecuadorians by burying him in frivolous lawsuits, trying to get him disbarred, placing him in prison for refusing to violate attorney-client privilege. They appointed a private law firm- one that used to represent Chevron- to represent the government in the case. At this point, when it really matters to them, major corporations own the United States legal system.

Really? You are only "confused" by this if you are very new to programming in general.
Very funny article: absolutely clueless.
I've been at a company where they weren't (yet) using containers nor K8S.

The build process would just create VM images with the required binaries in there and then deploy that to an autoscaling group.

It worked well and if you only ever intend to run a single service per machine then is the right solution.
There may be something new about the process here, but there are other processing plants that recover gold from e-waste. Umicore has a plant in Belgium which does this.

I've never done it myself, but I know quite a few people who have left companies I've been at and then come back. In all cases the companies were happy to leave the door open from the beginning. For me it is a sign of a good company. When I was leaving said company myself, it wasn't because I was unhappy there but because I felt like I needed to try something new. So I can imagine others doing the same and then deciding that the grass isn't necessarily greener after all. I am very happy where I am right now and it was the right decision, but I can totally imagine happily ending up back there one day. In some ways it still feels like "home".
SAE is good for classification but not for evaluating performance. By definition autosteer isn't "driving", but it does effectively drive for you at the level you'd expect, and it can take you 300 miles on a highway without disengagements and the $12k package can even overtake cars slower than you.
The article is simply wrong.

I know this because I worked as an ML engineer at an extremely successful company that automated medical coding using deep learning.

The confusion stems from conflating a "perfect solution" with a "human augmented" one.

90% of coding cases are trivial, have low value and can be done by a model. 10% are really subtle and need human expertise.

That's fine. You can make a billion dollar company on low hanging fruit. I think it's best not to conflate the perfect solution with a very good solution.
Yea, I think the current consensus on content moderation is dangerous and detached from reality. But ads are specifically a profit center. Price them so you can have the level of basic moderation that allows you to catch ads that verbatim say "kill these people". That's absolutely the kind of thing you can do with low fixed costs + variable costs correlated to the price of the ads (eg local labor).
My constitutional law professor did some CRT scholarship in the 1980s and brought this perspective to our class* in an interesting way. The syllabus was pretty traditional, but he would add color, giving what he called "the conventional view" (basically, that the Supreme Court has steadily and inevitably protected the rights of minorities) and then his own view challenging this. It was far from indoctrination. Rather, he encouraged us to think critically about each decision and what it did and didn't do, and the institutional capabilities of courts vs. legislatures, rather than just vaguely celebrating social progress won through landmark decisions.

* circa 2009, when "CRT" was better known as a near-obsolete display technology than a boogeyman of the American political right.

And do you think destroying Ukraine has improved Putin's chance of avoiding 'what WE have planned for him' (whatever that is)?
You make a valid point.

We already have similar things going on in the world, so maybe we can look at that first. Let's say a car mechanic fixes a car, but does it wrong. The car leaves, the next day it causes an accident due to whatever the mechanic did wrong. What is the mechanic's responsibility in this case? 100%? 0%?

Should that person go to jail for manslaughter? I don't know of instances where that happened, but it might have.
In addition to the sibling answers:

If you know the class of an object, let's say Class, but the object has yet to be "constructed" so that IPython can correctly infer its type, you can type `Class.[TAB]` in IPython and look at its methods.

For example, in Sympy, you have a matrix type called Matrix. You can do `(A * B).diagonalize()`, or alternatively you can do `Matrix.diagonalize(A * B)`, which has some advantages because doing `(A * B).[TAB]` does nothing useful because Python can't infer types.

You can also do the same for modules. `ModuleName.[TAB]`

To be honest though, I found the experience smoother in R for some reason.
