I created a Github repo that tracks "classic papers" of machine learning that folks on HN have enjoyed in the past. Feel free to make a PR if you think I'm missing something good.

I'm more interested in the slightly less snarky question of what led Elon to believe the number was <5%
It's hard to measure precisely how popular it was historically but he campaigned for Mayor of NYC as a Georgist and finished 2nd ahead of Teddy Roosevelt who finished 3rd. So Henry George at least was well liked.

The book itself was the best selling economics book of the 19th century. It inspired art demonstrations and some governments throughout the world even adopted LVT for a while. So yes, it was pretty popular.
I'd also say thermal coupling to ensure these components drift with some common average temperature. One thing where this would be done is e.g. an exponential converter or an antilog-amplifier, although there one would need only two transistors (one PNP and one NPN).
I was in cub scouts (this was in Canada, it's for ages 7-10 or so, I don't know how it maps to BSA scouts, it's part of the same Baden Powell originated organization).

I did a similar badge in this org which I think was a little more basic, in the 80s. I haven't really thought about it since then, but we had to do some definitions, I think write instructions for some task as in this one, and what strikes me most now is we had some (simple) boolean logic exercises, or had to make examples, I think explained as switches, explaining AND, OR (I dont remember if others were there) as series and parallel and determining whether a light was on.

Sounds basic, but having taught intro to programming and intro to circuits many years later, still confusing for many
Part of the challenge here is that “community” is a term with extremely broad usage. People speak of a “community” when it’s “people in a place” or “people with some common identity aspects” or “people who all are interested in some topic” or ‘people who have “joined” a group online.’

My perspective is that there’s an aspect of community that sometimes exists in the above situations but often does not, one where by considering others to be in your community, you have some sense of who they are, feel some kind of common purpose, and ideally care about them to some extent. As humans, we simply don’t have this feeling for more than a Dunbar-ish number of people.

And so, we “join communities” but the actuality is that things like norms and belonging that comes from interaction with those norms and having interchange with some emotional impact are not relevant when it’s called a “community” but doesn’t reflect any of our human processes for belonging and cohesion.

>"I know too many folks who did 7/1 ARMs cash out refi to purchase another home in a 7/1 ARM loan, banking not on cashflow but appreciation."

What's the strategy behind the "7/1 ARMs cash out refi" and the second homes?

It's curious that would people do an ARM when interest rates were at historic lows no? Were these second home as in part vacation home, part AirBnBs lets?
For sure. It's kind of funny how the kids are like oblivious or just don't care. Very cute when they get distracted, the oh I forgot the curry!

If you want to out hire competition the solution is simple. Seek out premium candidates and give them a job offer before you even talk to them.

If someone is the head of some product at google and you want them cold email an offer you were always comfortable offering. If they accept or counter or want to talk or engage perfect you beat all the others.

It could work for targeting lower paying employees at less known places. If the person is worth at least what you are offering it's a no brainer. If a recruitor reached out to me with an offer in hand even if it was lower than my current pay I would engage knowing they are serious. When they reach out now and still require 4 rounds of interviews it becomes a farce to get someone paid for getting people into a hiring funnel. When a founder reaches out personally you listen.
How is he expected to know whether Twitter knows if their bot% number is accurate? You're suggesting he should know more than Twitter does about their internal data. And it's the internal data that is being disputed.
I've been diagnosed by a GP, but I didn't find that diagnosis led to specific treatment. Most conventional doctors treat it as depression if other tests come back normal. I've tried heaps of other health practitioners over the past 15 years and its been hit and miss. I had a lot of family support from the start.

B-Complex in the morning and Magnesium in the evening, along with Enzo Pine Bark for cognitive issues made a huge difference for me for the past 3-4 years. I've recently been focusing more on digestion, the gut, microbiome etc. Changing diet, dropping gluten and dairy made a huge difference. I had markers showing celiac disease. Most of the changes have been trial and error, noticing the patterns as I went.

I've been seeing a psychologist since my last burnout too. I recognize I feel I have to overcompensate for the tiredness and looking weak from CFS by taking on risk and pushing myself into burnout. The stakes of trauma and conflict are higher for me. I always felt like I was alone with CFS, like no-one understands and that was incredibly isolating. And there is a feeling of being in a car crash in slow motion keeps me in a constant state of chronic stress. Some of my experiences could be seen as being locked in the "freeze" state, with efforts to move out of that state producing panic and anxiety. To me I believe this is all a minor (but still important) part of the complex picture though, and related to the consequences of my experiences both socially and personally with my condition.

Life events have been super hard because I'm already primed with stress so sometimes the hits hit harder and recovery takes longer. A supportive partner and family definitely has helped.

I tried exercise and yoga, I would get yoga lows and exercise did not make me feel better personally. For a long time, I wouldn't get burn when exercising, instead I would feel weaker like I was wasting away. And then one day I was trying some new changes and I felt I could handle going to the gym - I got positive gains out of it.

I see my CFS as a complex array of vague dependencies, interrelations and consequences. An analogy is getting someone out of poverty, it may be a lot more complex than just giving someone money to give them a hand out, theres usually a lot of reasons (and assumptions on my part), and its usually easier to denigrate, not care and ignore them. Every way I look at it I see a different viewpoint. It has been a journey of poking in all directions trying to find a way in, and an emergence of a personal truth and understanding.

I want to emphasize its not all straightforward - I've given up many times along the way.
Renting the apartment in SF will not be cheap because the land has extremely high value. It's just the government will capture the high value of that land instead of landlords and that high value land capture will be used to remove other taxes like income tax and property tax. Land prices in SF would fall slightly as the LVT removes most speculation. So likely rents go from $6000/month to something like $5400/month. But the government might capture $4500 of that to reduce other taxes.

If we still had 1870's small government the idea would be to put most of the LVT into a Citizen's Dividend which functions like a UBI and helps people pay for their cost of living (including some of the land taxes).
> Unrelatedly (perhaps) I tried writing some basic software in forth and it was pretty horrific.

It might be instructive to compare FORTH to e.g. the previously discussed language K, which is similarly terse in some ways. It turns out that a few convenience features - including first-class- and higher-order- functions, neither of which really sit well within the FORTH stack-focused model - can make a real difference.
Richard Stallman once said that "geeks like to think they can ignore politics, you can leave politics alone, but politics won't leave you alone." When people imply that there is such a thing as an a-political take on the world we live in, what they're saying is that they cant identify the mainstream ideology that they themselves are adherents of. As such things which adhere to it look "natural", without "bias", or "non-political."
It may hinge on them saying they "applied significant judgment" vs due diligence showing they knew they had much higher numbers. There is a difference to "we did our best to calculate it but we could have made a mistake" vs "we calculated, got a high number but purposefully put in a low number".
> This matters for three reasons. ... First, over $15 billion in crypto value has been wiped out through luna and UST alone. ... Second, it raises questions about other stablecoins. ... Lastly and possibly most signifcantly[sic], the collapse of UST has caught the attention of powerful politicians and regulators.

To oversimplify, it only matters if you care about crypto. And if you do, you already cared about this.

Ask HN: Is there a list of all the embeddable databases?
The first time I heard of the idea of embedding an entire database inside a compiled binary is when Colin Steele did it, 10 years ago, when he was CTO at Hotelicopter:

https://www.colinsteele.org/blog/against-the-grain

https://www.colinsteele.org/blog/60000-growth-in-7-months-using-clojure-and-aws

They used Solr.

Since then, I've heard of several projects where SQLite is used this way.

I believe there are other databases being used this way? ArticDB is used this way. Perhaps sometimes DuckDB, or at least it aims to facilitate that design pattern.

Can anyone point me to a list of all data stores that can be embedded inside of a compiled binary?

Those are 2019 numbers. There has been a massive upsurge in illegal crossing starting in 2020. Many have attributed that surge to the Biden administration new catch and release policy. People who are caught at the border now are bussed to the closest major city and told to go to immigration court hearing -- which most just skip.

This isn't perception. it is the reality and factual that a large amount of people / politicians on the right are saying this exact slur. re their counter response to critique of FL and TX laws, and book bannings across the country.

I often google even very basic shit. If the IDE doesn't give me the structure of the for loop in a given language, I look it up. If I forget how to split a string, I look it up. If I forget what the print statement looks like, I look it up.

Naturally, someone interviewing me who's just written a for loop in the language is going to wonder wtf I'm doing in the interview, because to them it seems like something everyone would know.

Someone who understands how to think about the problem could easily get disqualified because they don't have the little things to hand.

The authors proposed solution is to reduce the number of open resolvers.

In 2009, someone else identified the amplifciation for DDoS problem, he associated it with DNSSEC not open resolvers, and proposed a different solution.

https://cr.yp.to/talks/2009.08.11/slides.pdf See page 43

I use dnscurve on the home network. I also disable EDNS0 when I run DNS servers. I have no problems as a result of these choices. I can remember the internet before the post-2008 campaign for DNSSEC and before EDNS0. From the end user perpsective, IMO the internet worked just fine without DNSSEC and EDNS0.

The need for DNSSEC is due the use of shared DNS caches run by third parties, e.g., Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS, etc. As such, another solution to amplificiation risks is to stop using third party DNS caches. This obviates the need for DNSSEC.
Housing always lags, usually by 18-24 months. Real estate transactions are slow - they require a bunch of research, non-fungible goods in an illiquid market, physically scoping out properties, financing sources that are notoriously sluggish and thorough in their diligence, and a slow closing process. And the sellers don't need to sell - they can just hold onto their places and live in them or rent them out. That means that when money dries up in the housing market, liquidity dries up before prices drop: people just hold onto their houses and don't sell them rather than take the loss.

This also means that housing is pretty resilient to recessions that last < 1 year. Nationwide the '73, '80, '82, '91, and '01 recessions were barely blips to housing prices [1]. It takes a sustained downturn of > 4 years or so in a regional economy to make a serious dent in housing prices.

It also can make a lot of sense if you're assuming ebike, and thus that the material complexity is already 90% there (if not more, a generator is not really a complex beast after all).

And between the limited maintenance and the ebike-engine, direct-drive efficiency also becomes less of a concern.
It's not really a good question, and I suspect he knows that. Twitter can simply:

1. Sample x twitter accounts

2. Have humans review the accounts manually to determine if they are bots. This isn't perfect but can be good enough.

3. Extrapolate.

You'll come up with a reasonable percentage with this method to share with shareholders, but you can't use this method at scale to actually fix the issue.
Those illegal immigrants are here at the cost of the wages of legal citizens. If no legal citizens wanted to work for farmers, two things would happen, wages would go up (a lot), and investment in automation would go up. Both of those things are positives for the US economy and average unskilled US citizen. Food prices will go up, but I don't think they'll go up as much as you think as labor has never been the biggest component of farming costs.

People don't have a right to live in the US just because they decided to walk across the border illegally.

You're ignoring the very next line which states "why" they make this particular recommendation, a recommendation that they're pretty consistent about making throughout the rest of the document:

> "While those reforms do not address surveillance itself, they are the most direct way to undercut ICE surveillance authority."

This website, https://americandragnet.org/ , seems dedicated to curtailing dragnet surveillance in the USA. The facts around that surveillance are so disturbing that I'm amazed we can sit around and talk about deportation when it's a just a side show compared to the surveillance. The facts that they're laying out:

- ICE is tracking your address, your home moves, and your driving habits (or at least, they're doing so for ~75% of people in the USA)

- ICE is hijacking government functions like our DMVs and our utility companies without oversight in order to find out who you are, where you live, who you live near, etc. in order to detain and deport... well, I'll leave the who up to you, but if you're not uneasy with the start of that sentence, I doubt any way of ending it will either.

It's not the deportations that are concerning; it's the paths we're taking to get there.

I would love to see some studies on this.

I am almost convinced that the market has made it so people have to lie on their CVs to get through the HR filters to even have a shot.

I’ve only ever interviewed people for “normal” level jobs, and I have never once seen someone lie on their resume or even act like they knew something they didn’t.

I think big companies either make up this problem, or they created this environment for themselves.
I prefer Matt Levine from his newsletter today:

"Safe assets are much riskier than risky ones. This is I think the deep lesson of the 2008 financial crisis, and crypto loves re-learning the lessons of traditional finance. Systemic risks live in safe assets. Equity-like assets — tech stocks, Luna, Bitcoin — are risky, and everyone knows they’re risky, and everyone accepts the risk. If your stocks or Bitcoin go down by 20% you are sad, but you are not that surprised. And so most people arrange their lives in such a way that, if their stocks or Bitcoin go down by 20%, they are not ruined.

"On the other hand safe assets — AAA mortgage securities, bank deposits, stablecoins — are not supposed to be risky, and people rely on them being worth what they say they’re worth, and when people lose even a little bit of confidence in them they crack completely. Bitcoin is valuable at $50,000 and somewhat less valuable at $40,000. A stablecoin is valuable at $1.00 and worthless at $0.98. If it hits $0.98 it might as well go to zero. And now it might!

"I have in the past told the story of TerraUSD and Luna by saying: The weakness in TerraUSD is Luna. One UST can be exchanged for $1 of Luna, but that only works if people continue to have confidence in Luna; if Luna goes to zero then TerraUSD will follow. But you could also tell the story by saying: The weakness in Luna is TerraUSD. Luna, as the cryptocurrency of a blockchain ecosystem, would rise or fall with the value of that ecosystem. But Luna, as the thing supporting a stablecoin, could go to zero in a week if that stablecoin needed support. Terra was so unstable because it was trying to be stable."
And what are people who feel the need to defend the world’s richest person projecting?

Could the average American in 1995 give a $28,000 loan to his kid? Median net worth was ~$100,000 in today’s dollars. If ‘privilege’ has negative connotations for you, use ‘luck’ instead. I don’t think there’s any question that Musk made some of his own luck through hard work and intelligence, but we often observe the rich with survivorship bias because it would upset the social order if we stopped believing that hard work and intelligence are enough to become rich.
I have news for you - the "PC LOAD LETTER" meme works all around the world. Printers and drivers a generally quite dumb about this, and default to Letter format (and this does not make any sense, obviously).
This simple reality gets overlooked all the time. A large portion of labor in this country is undocumented. The employers, whos existence depends on this and related labor abuses, are rarely if ever held accountable and its the people DOING the work who get abused.
Whenever people lose of money, that money has to be paid back to wherever they borrowed it from.

Expect to see some more bank bailouts down the line to cover the cost of all this.
I think Georgism's main appeal is that if you interfere as best as possible in the mechanism by which land captures the value of labour and use that to reduce other capture of the value of labour you remove the worst excesses of capitalism. You literally don't have to change the rest of the system.

Tenants pay the same rents they do now (perhaps slightly lower due to removal of speculation) but no longer have to pay any income tax. Property owners pay more in LVT but no longer pay income tax as well. No one gets to hold land value unearned and benefit from the work of others except the government who uses it to reduce other taxes and provide services we've come to depend on in modern society.

This is quite different from various radical re-imaginings of the entire economic system. Those systems are looking to solve almost entirely different problems and introduce far more new ones.
sorry, answered in the wrong thread.
Ignoring that they're not too different from an e-scooter, these could trivially only power the cycle when the user is actively pedalling, which would be the main issue with respect to pedelec classification.

Though interestingly it could also put a hard limit on upper speed, since "motor assistance" has to cutoff at 25km/h. A series hybrid bike might be considered to only work off of motor assistance (ignoring downhill).
Eastern cities can also be safer for foreigners in general. Cities like Prague depend on being tourist hotspots. If they get a reputation for being dangerous, they'll lose a lot of rich people a lot of money. Serious crime against foreigners may be dealt with harshly enough that criminals learn to stick to the locals and limit to mild scams on the tourists. After all, the tourists bring the money that they can then steal from a local at leisure.
You are highly unlikely to ever be in the class of people who are harmed by collective labor action. Further, you are in the group that is doing the collective action.

Ehh... not entirely true. It's the "gold standard" because of cost and (lack of) need. It's an elegant solution for non-functional cycling.

Band-drive systems with internal hubs are superior for commuters who need reliability over anything else.

Tubeless tires are now the standard for riding on irregular terrain.

Disc-brakes are not the standard for hilly areas or people who ride at high speeds.

Meanwhile, single chain-drive fixed/free gear bikes are still perfectly serviceable for most use cases (even if you need to select from a few different cog sizes to fit your area).

The reason why "chain drive and pneumatic tires are the gold standard" is that most people don't ride bikes. If people did, you'd see much, much more variation in technology on the street, as they would be used for functional purposes, rather than recreational purposes.
