Yes, I agree this is vastly over-engineered. There are commercial solar farms that actively point toward the sun, but many (most?) do not, because they may fail. Before medicine, I studied and worked in renewable energy: in medicine, simplicity in critical engineering problems is more obviously important.

In this solar project, the metric should be a comparison to the yield from pointing at the sun based on lat,long, and (earth) time.

Really, the analysis would have to include anticipated costs of installation and maintenance in comparison to a dumb array.

Perhaps the ingenious author could consider xy or xyz movement in an intermittently shadowed environment instead of 2-axis rotation. This might be be a better job for machine learning, or just a well-known control system problem.

This is a worst case estimate. Quantization error can be reduced with higher sample rates and better output filters. Not to zero, of course, and more bits is better, but there are tradeoffs.
Anki is killer for vocabulary (and I've heard health science), since this involves a long tail of terms you might need to recall with somewhat low frequency.

Otherwise, if you use something frequently, you won't need effort to recall it.

In programming, I've found that putting in the effort to make flashcards can help guide understanding. - Understanding some thing is easier if you can recall some basic facts of the domain. And at least, taking the time to break some concept down into basic facts will show what you're familiar with and unfamiliar with.
From the article:

> Data were collected from 229 participants working in a management position in
the United States through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Participants were compensated at a rate equivalent to $7 per hour.

I have a hard time imagining people in "management positions" working on Mechanical Turk for less than (US) minimum wage.

If I understand correctly, participants also didn't rate applications with photos, but just photos. Seems possible and perhaps likely that the pragmatics of this specific task would activate biases that may not be at play (or to a lesser degree) in an actual application process where the photo would be just one piece of information. The task really seems designed to maximize effects of beautification while sacrificing generalizability to real-world settings.

There’s a trope going around that people on the East coast (of the US) are kind, but not nice. While people on the West coast are nice, but not kind.

For example, if you get a flat tire on the West coast someone will come by and say “Aww man, you got a flat tire. That’s a real bummer man, that sucks”. and then they’ll walk away without doing anything useful.

Whereas on the East coast someone will see you trying to change your tire and say something like “What the fuck are you doing you stupid asshole? Didn’t anyone teach you how to change a tire? Are you frickin retarded or something?” and then they’ll change the tire for you.
Are you asking “how could you not have known this before?”, or “how could you think that this is good advice?”

Either way, it seems you’ve taken rather strong offense to such a small, and rather kind point.

>Dont bother fighting the old; just build the new.

This message has been brought to you by the freedesktop.org foundation.
I watch videos (on YouTube) but I choose the content.

I follow a number of channels, but never could subscribe because this requires a Google Account and that's a no. I also wanted to avoid using YouTube proper because I like to keep control on what code runs on my computer so I favor free software. So I took the habit to use Invidious, and ended up hosting an instance for myself. This will allow me to share playlists as well.

On Invidious, you can subscribe to channels and you see all your channels on your subscription page, ordered by the date of the last posted video. The UI also tries to highlight newly posted videos since your last visit. There's no filter depending on whether you click on subscribe AND THEN click on the bell AND THEN click on the thumb AND THEN… just a silly algorithm showing you anything new channels you follow post. Simple model to understand.

I am able see new videos on channels I chose… whenever I decide to watch something, and to go away when there's no new thing. No pushed notifications.

Plus, Invidious is actually pleasant to use and lightweight. You can listen to videos (play an audio only version), download them in the format you want, there's the automatically play next feature, it can play in background, there are the YouTube suggestions and comments if you like them, it's compatible with SponsorBlock. It also works fine on mobile, though if you have Android you may like NewPipe.

I can recommend. If you don't want to self host, there are several good public instances.

You don't need notifications. Just go watch something when you feel like it, don't let your devices dictate when you should watch videos.
Hey there. I'm Tero, CEO here at Volument. Wanted to post this here to hopefully get some discussion going. Analytics is such an important topic and still, most people opt for Google Analytics. No questions asked.

After talking to people in various roles, in marketing, design, development, and "growth" one thing really stood out: _lack of insights_. People really just want to open analytics and get the information they need, really quickly, and move on.

So that's what we did. We deliver insights. It's easier than we thought. The most valuable insights are usually very simple to bring to daylight. Naive almost. No crazy ML/AI is needed.

Of course, privacy is another topic we want to solve. Seems everyone is stuck in thinking that no cookies mean no consent. That's not true. Every analytics needs a banner. We want to bring some clarity to this topic as well.
I will check it out, but to be honest, I am extremely skeptical. I have been using companies providing similar services for over a decade. Not only they have consistently all been very expensive (35%-45% cut)†, but they all required MASSIVE amounts of paperwork, both from the contracting company and from the "employee". Employee enrolment took at least a month, and this was when the employee was already a resident, and when we already had other employees in the same country. Otherwise it took much longer because specific contracts in the local language had to be written and approved.

Employee resignation took months, and relocation also took months.

This all sounds too good to be true.

This is with US parent companies and EU employees.

† The least I've seen was 20%, and it was a horror show so bad that it was worth it to switch to a 40% competitor.

If you assume the market estimates the true value of a company, any reasonable model will have it predict a company’s value with an error that may be either too high or too low.

When a new data point comes in, the market adjusts its estimate. That can be lower than it was, certainly if its previous estimate was too high.

It seems the market expected Apple to do even better.
Every time I read about ECMO, the stories are saturated with weird comments by doctors and hospital officials about its “proper use”, whether they are doing the right thing to use it, etc. Explicitly they say the concern is for the patient (whether the potential suffering is worth it given the high chance of death), but I can’t square this with the numbers and with other medical practices. Unless there is some extreme physical torture associated with EMCO that’s not mentioned, being on EMCO for a week or month or 6 months seems obviously worth it for a 50% chance of survival from the patient’s perspective. Other patients with different illnesses routinely spend giant amounts of time in the ICU with much slimmer odds. Nothing I read in these articles suggests to me that ECMO stands out unusually above the high background levels of suffering in a modern hospital.

I suspect the underlying cause of the handwringing is the immense cost of ECMO (hundreds of thousands of dollars) and the distinct possibility that a patient ends up dependent on it (marginal cost >$5k per day) with no obvious ethical threshold for withdrawing care, at least according to the official prevailing norm that mere cost cannot be a reason to do so. This article is substantially more direct about that:

Wouldn't cubic interpolation have less error at the cost of performance?
Great idea, congrats. However, some observations: the first recipe I looked at listed the amount of water in ml, but the amount of flour in cups and stated the temperature in °F. Using cups and °F in Germany is not common: It would be great if one could switch to either ml/g/°C or oz/cups/°F.

Moreover, scaling is a great feature, but needs refinement: Nobody is helped by "13⁄16 tablespoon olive oil". Perhaps there should be a warning for scaled (baking) recipes as well, because more dough might need more time baking or will not behave as expected in very large or small quantities.

Nutrition information is based on "servings", but the number of servings used seems independent from the scaling of the recipe? E.g. Pizza Dough seems to be calculated in the base recipe as 10 servings, but if I scale it up to 5x, the nutrition label still mentions "10 servings" without any change. Same foe nutrition by ingredients.

Following one of these languages (that I had not heard of) back to its wikipedia page, I see:

> In JavaOne 2003, in June, JavaSoft announced its intention to create a wholly-owned scripting language for the Java platform. This monopolous move has stifled the lives of most of its competitors. The result was the Groovy language, whose name is apparently a phonetic morphing from "jruby", with its first version released in 2007. Its built-in Ant support is suspiciously connected to Judoscript's Ant scripting feature, chronologically speaking.

Some bad feeling there!

I’m not aware of any RCT that could control for the variables to measure transmission. That would be very hard. But two RCT studies have been done to measure infection on the individual wearing it and they show cloth and surgical masks as not significant. Of course there’s a lot of nuance to the results but it’s obvious the signal isn’t there unlike say the vaccine during its RCT.
Nah, still doesn't make any sense either way.

Watts is a measure of power, not energy. The amount of power (given they use a pump and electrodialysis) shouldn't depend on the volume. Energy OTOH does.

So either their device requires 20W of power - which sounds reasonable as the image shows a <100Wp solar panel next to it - and the volume figure is meaningless.

Or the author left out crucial context (e.g. is the power draw correlated with the speed, i.e. 20W @ 0.3l/h).

The amount of energy would be 67Wh/l regardless given those numbers. It's just a confused mix of performance (processed volume per hour) and power requirements (which is independent of volume and should only depend on the performance).
I don’t read anything in GP’s text as defending prejudice, but rather as expressing the reality that judgment (not pre-judgment) is both legal and widely practiced (and frequently helpful or essential in interactions).

If I’m hiring for a programming opening, the entire (and proper) purpose of interviewing is to discriminate against people who can’t or won’t be effective programmers.

Being “not an effective programmer” is not a protected class and discriminating against them is fine when hiring programmers.

“But, but, but that’s not discrimination!” Yes, it most certainly is in the “recognition and understanding of the difference between one thing and another” sense, and is very likely what GP meant when they wrote:

> Essentially every non-random decision affecting treatment of people discriminates on some basis.
As GP argued, the movement can be entirely precomputed, and even if it isn't "move the panel to face the brightest spot" is trivial to solve with simple components. The only real advances I can imagine to make this profitable would be better motors that are cheaper and use less energy, or new types of solar panels that are more directional (e.g. a solar concentrator setup where you move mirrors to hit a smaller collector).

The latter exist but don't seem more profitable (in the case of PV panels because of lifetime problems due to more heat), and while we have gotten a bit better with motors I don't think there even is a lot of headroom to gain much efficiency.
Sure, but that is a great reason to publish it. It allows other in the community to pick up on where things left off. Maybe someone else has the missing pieces to the puzzle.
I see this as a positive thing. You now know what you don't like and don't want to do.

You wanted to see if product management was a better fit. But for whatever reason you were wrong. This is not a bad thing. Did you quit too hastily when maybe you could have found another role at your previous company? What made you choose program management after product management?

I had the same experience, but(!) I've concluded over time that the extra "I guess", "I think", "Probably" just makes my opinions seem weaker and get disregarded. Everybody else presents their opinions as 100% fact, even when they're not sure.

I dunno if you're on the autism spectrum, I am and I think that contributes towards not wanting to write things that aren't 100% true, but I don't think it is actually a contructive thing to do since everyone implicitly understands you might be wrong.
