Crypto protocol pivots to focus on psychic fortunes
Enterprises were using (wasting) full ec2 instances long before Kubernetes came along. K8s can certainly be used to get more utilization on a small cluster -if that's something you value.

And that's just it, most companies I've seen are content to ship code and deployments that are poorly architected (for performance and efficiency) and poorly performing.

I saw the same thing when I worked in the energy space. Effort is only expended when the ROI is big enough to justify it. And sometimes not even then! It's kind of depressing.

I actually think that the silly high cost of cloud infra can help bring about an appreciation of leaner runtimes (Go, Rust, etc) especially with cheap edge computing (cloud flare workers). That's an uphill battle though.

That said, I can envision a leaner orchestration model ( leaner than k8s) that strongly encourages more efficient computing. I'm excited to see how WASM fits into this, it could be a game changing tool for simplification.
One of my favourite april fool's jokes in tech: https://arne-mertz.de/2018/04/raw-pointers-are-gone/

> Capitalism is the best system ever invented to get money into the hands of people.

I would like some citation for this one. Pretty large claim. For example China brought out 2/3rds of their population from poverty to middle class, pretty large number. Now there can be a debate on whether Chinese system is communism or not, but it definitely is not capitalism the way people in US like to define it.
The eigen values do give information as to energy, so if your selection criteria is simply to pick the linear component with the most energy, you can use PCA to select that feature and extract it with the corresponding eigen vector. The MUSIC algorithm is a classic example.

Edit: having now actually read the article, the case I mention falls into the author's test of (do linear combinations of my features make sense and have as much of a relationship to the target as the features themselves).
Nowadays and into the future, your best bet will be AMD, since their AMDGPU driver is open source, and will therefore be kept up to date without any reliance on the company.

> equential feature selection (backward and forward) is quite common

This is fine if you have test/validation sets, but never, ever report p-values on the result of such a selection process, as they are incredibly biased.

He was the CTO of a reasonably large hedge fund at the time, so it's reasonable to think he was the target of a spear fishing attack. If you don't need the magnetic strip to actually be magnetic, I don't think making a fake credit card is much different from making a fake ID.

Though, I suppose it's possible he was telling me a tall tale, he's generally trustworthy.

The two additional explanations would be that he was confused about what was going on, or that there was genuinely a mixup at his bank. If he was confused about what was going on, it would seem that he would have needed to have gotten a card that he didn't remember applying for, and being confused about which bank issued it. The spear fishing and mixup at his bank both sound like million-to-one odds to me.

So now, re-evaluating things based on what I've learned about banks in the past 15 years, maybe his bank grew organically by acquiring several other banks, and has incomplete consolidation internally. Maybe he requested a card from one subsidiary of the bank, forgot about it, and called another subsidiary of the bank (the one that gave him his first card), which had no idea what was going on. The internal structures of large banks are much more disjoint than I realized 15 years ago.
Maybe it's just me, but "missing your turn" sounds more like a situation from a board game, where players take turns to move and for some reason you missed your turn. While in a navigation channel, it's not "your" turn because the turn in the channel is the same for every ship that passes through. Sorry if I'm too nitpicky ;)
This one had me thinking really hard, good one.
> Hosts can remove bad reviews.

That part isn't true. Airbnb doesn't allow hosts to remove negative reviews.

I used to Airbnb my place, which was well reviewed. I had one negative review from a problematic guest that I felt was unfair, and when I contacted Airbnb to have it reviewed, they were very explicit about not removing reviews regardless of the situation.
Agree with this 100%.

Koyfin is a competitor and the software is good but i think the data is a challenge. Their getting there.

I think how a competitor beats bloomberg is between them on core competency and price and then build out functionality. It sounds like bloomberg believes itself to be impregnable giving rise to blindspots. Good luck competitors.
If you're not into installing third-party tools, you can create your own hyper key by using a combination of the Shift, Control, Option, and Command keys† (Shift, Control, Meta, Super).

Because macOS uses Control+Option to activate the on-screen magnifying glass, I use Shift+Option+Command, which works well for my hand size.

I haven't found any macOS or third-party programs that use Shift+Option+Command for shortcuts yet, so there haven't been any conflicts.

Once you get your personal shortcuts set up in Apple → System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts, it's really a major productivity boost.

†I think you can use Function now, too, since Preview uses it, but haven't tried it yet.

Yes.

I don't mean to be flippant. The entire experience with Rust is just so much better than with C or C++, and that's even before you get to the actual language.
There seems to be this unwillingness to imagine better. We can't fix the lead because there's also asbestos and we can't fix the asbestos because of shoddy construction and we can't fix the shoddy construction because even if we did the house wouldn't be profitable. Insanity -- the house valuation isn't the point, human safety is! Fix broken things! If things were fixed as you went, there wouldn't be huge reputational problems and infinite constrained loops, there'd just be one isolated issue!

(As corroborating evidence, Montreal has a problem with lead in some pipes. So, they're replacing the pipes, in every residential building, on the island. The mains past the property lines have already been replaced. On the private side of the line, there are two options: You either have it done yourself or the owner pays $3000 for the government to do it. There is no opt-out. It's been going on for two years, and in three more years, there will be no more lead. Problem solved. No reputational hazard. No valuation considerations. It just gets done because it's the correct thing to do.)
For me PCA is strictly in a bucket labeled "this comes up a lot in data science interviews but you never actually need to use it at work".
That is a great one. I think the best jokes are hard to tell if they are real or not and have a sort of self-awareness about them.

This one seems to have that. It pokes fun at how the C++ standards committee is trying to make C++ something different than it was, at any cost.

Interesting; can you or someone please elaborate? I thought that device-specific drivers wouldn't be needed for the vast majority of audio interfaces, because they're connected via USB and all they need to do to ‘just work’ upon plugging in is implementing the relevant USB device class.

From my (programmer's) point of view, all I need to know to work with an audio interface is the number of input and output channels and the respective arrays of sample rates and bit depths. In theory, a generic USB driver can handle that. In practice, I observe that my Linux-using colleagues have 99 problems with audio, but none of those is related to plugging in a $1 dongle from AliExpress. (Therefore, I used to think that those audio interfaces ‘just work’, but now I'm curious about what I've been missing all along.)

Why is releasing Linux drivers for an audio interface even a thing?

> But most farm kids don't go and become veterinary scientists or scientists at all!

I think the more accurate complaint is most farm kids don't grow up on farms with ducks.

Ducks are pretty niche in the US. If it's not on the menu at McDonald's or Taco Bell, it's not on 95% of US farms.
I think she has more research to do:

> That’s when she began thinking about conflict. Duck sex, she knew, could be notoriously violent. Ducks tended to mate for at least a season. However, extra males lurked in the wings, ready to harass and mount any paired female they could get their hands on.

I never knew ducks had hands! I thought that was only in cartoons! This is big news, even bigger than reverse-threaded vaginas.
Here in the UK, my kettle's a 3kW one (with limited temperature control) and most domestic ones will be over 2kW. By my quick calculations, it runs as 12.5A on the usual 240v supply. To get a 3kW on 110v would draw over 27A which would likely be impractical for a standard kitchen appliance.

This is my experience as well. I feel like a lot of people who are experts at C++ and have been using it for literal decades now really fail to appreciate how hard it is to learn C++ in 2022. They have all of this stuff in their heads already and it's easy, so the vast amount of undocumented knowledge is invisible to them.

I wonder if this changes with access to cheap, effective, and easy to use birth control (for both sexes), plus societal enforcement of males to participate sharing their resources to raising children, at least by garnishing wages.

I know many people, male and female, who would be considered prime mating material opting out of having children because they do not want to spend the resources they would have to to raise children.

We did a similar excursion driving from Agadir to Layoune and back. We didn't go too far into Western Sahara because the checkpoints became more frequent and Morocco really didn't want 2 Americans out there. It was memorable, the heat, the cold, desert vegetation, the powerful Atlantic breaking on the dunes and rocks. And finding surfers in the middle of nowhere on these monstrously massive waves.

I will say Western education massively downplays the actual size of Africa with our mercator maps. As an amateur adventurer it was also the first time I felt really unsafe for my family. Our son was a toddler and being that far away from civilization with an old car that could overheat any moment quietly scared the shit out of me.

I prefer hotels or apart hotels too.

I've never had a perfect-five-star Airbnb experience either, but all my reviews have been very positive.

Airbnb guests and hosts need to get good reviews so there is an incentive to give better than real reviews in both ways.

One of the best ways to read reviews is looking for what reviews don't mention. Like no reviews mentioning the place is quiet or clean or having comfortable beds.

I would say I've had better experiences at Airbnbs attended by the property owner (like people who rent their extra room), than those attended by a co host or a subletting company. These are easier to find in non touristic destinations.

There's those that "game" the pictures so it looks nice and colorful, but have bad quality furniture and cheap dollar store everything. Those are better to avoid

It's very clear if you read the article that what the author is calling "feature selection" might be better termed "feature generation". He explicitly calls out what he means in the post:

> When used for feature selection, data scientists typically regard z^p:=(z_1,…,z_p) as a feature vector than contains fewer and richer representations than the original input x for predicting a target y.

I don't even think this is necessarily incorrect terminology, especially given the author's background of working primarily for Google and the like. It's the difference between considering feature section as "choosing from a list of the provided features" vs "choosing from the set of all possible features". The author's term makes perfect sense given the latter.

PCA is used for this all the time in the field. There have been an astounding number of presentations I've seen where people start with PCA/SVD as the first round of feature transformation. I always ask "why are you doing that?" and the answer is always mumbling with shoulder shrugging.

This is a solid post and I find it odd that you try to dismiss it as either ignorant or click bait, when a quick skim of it dismisses both of these options.

The "4 million lines of Python" in that article is referring to the number of lines that are type checked (I don't see any mention of how much code remained unchecked, although the graphs might imply some 20%), but it also includes Dropbox' server side code base; the shown graphs imply that the server side is 4x larger than the client side.

Assuming the above implications are true, the client side app would be 1 million lines of code. I guess someone with the client could go and measure?

I don't mean to say that 1 M loc isn't still large, but you seem to be drawing conclusions from using numbers incorrectly.

agreed with your points... as a user of the current ath9k wireless problems, code changes to address security issues completely broke the wireless - for over two kernel releases until people alarmingly realized that noone was coming to help, code changers not even aware it was broken nor checked; that the interfaces were abstract, misunderstood, that even Linus broke in and said that such breakage, regression violated the system, and decided the patches be reverted. Point is, little to no documentation, and in my opinion too much fiat, with shallow testing and confirmation, and only when people howled was noticed. And this is the second time for me where I once spent days bisecting the kernel* over a year or two of changes, finally getting the chip manufacturers involved - ooops, sorry, was the response. *I realize that is my cost as a free OS user, but still, I'm not a developer and they shouldn't be pulling the rug out under us.
