Ask HN: Best SQL Courses?
Hey HN!

With the recent influx of SQL posts and lots of jobs in my field (tech sales, customer success, product, analyst) listing SQL experience as a bonus or even preferred now, I was wondering if anyone had a go to beginner SQL course?

I have basics programming skills to the extent of someone who has taken CS classes in HS and is familiar with GitHub,terminals,etc, if that helps.

What seems always striking when looking at old concept cars is how many of them still have that "wow, I would totally drive that today, AND it would still look futuristic" quality.

Geez car companies, show some guts. Build some of those and put them on the road. No new car today gets anyone I know excited, but some of those old photos do.
Not everybody is a xenophile, some people are nationalist types who get annoyed (rather than aroused) whenever they hear a foreign accent, and may even have trouble understanding them. You're not going to change channels if you hear an American accent, but they very much will if they hear an Australian one.

One out of every six big US movies would be black if it were proportionate to population, but they're not. The reason is because black people will watch white movies, but white people don't watch black movies. It's the people willing to walk away that make the decision.

It's very expensive to redub a series just to change the accent; they're getting a return on that.

W.r.t. Police and cameras I'm not sure the right answer is ban it. At the end of the day private industry is going to record everything so only people with either connections or money are going to get their crimes solved. It'd be much better that these actions were transparent (i.e. who requested video of what location and when is easily available) like Motherboard shouldn't need to ask Waymo how the police are using the data; they should be able to look for themselves.

I would ask probing questions like "how does the area below the address bar know which website to load?"

Like, my goal isn't to see how much of a spiel you've rehearsed for a finite set of possible interview questions.

That sort of exercise constitutes a useless hazing ritual that selects for people with low anxiety at the moment, not aptitude with the relevant technologies for the job.

I'm going to keep pushing the conversation along until you've either hit the depth of your knowledge and say "I'm not sure", or we need to move onto other questions. If we hit your depth early but we're headed into an interesting direction, I might ask, "How would you build [protocol or feature you're not sure about]?" This potentially gives useful data in how you, as a candidate, approach abstract problems.

But I should also note: I'm an introvert. I'm shy. I get nervous easily in social situations. I'm not the best interviewer, and I don't believe the processes I learned from my employers are necessarily the right way to hire technical expertise. I would rather replace the interview with timeboxed work-sample tests. But I don't call those shots.

CFTC, DOJ, and NY OAG

Yes, I was referring to the NY one, and I'm referring to how they were like "okay you went unbacked in 2018 and didn't disclose that to our standard, but at least disclose that its not USD". So now they paid a fine and disclose that. So at one point they were 1:1 USD, which is actually a major revelation because from 2014-2018 the same Tether FUD existed the same as now. In any case, now they aren't backed 100% USD, which is more relevant. Dollars and commercial paper isn't... horrible. Maybe they have a liquidity issue if 2/3rd of Tethers were attempted to be redeemed, maybe they don't.

One well-connected angel who writes $25k checks can provide a founder intros to appropriate seed investors, and these intros are the strongest possible since they are coming from someone who has already invested or intends to invest in the round. The angel can also coach founders and help them prepare, detect weaknesses and validate their strategy, give inside information about who they are pitching etc. And they have more time to coach them whereas professional investors do not.
Yeah I agree, it's not really a great choice as your 'main synth'. I think it's really meant to be a self-contained portable 'music sketchpad'. I owned 2 at one point thinking maybe that was the issue, I like to double up my gear (for example I like to use two TB-303 layered); when that didn't work out the way I hoped on the OP1s I sold them and both were bought separately by traveling musicians that wanted something to noodle with/ sketch with while on tour buses, or killing time at the hotel.

So I think it's a funny product that has a lot of 'nerd appeal' but at its heart it's a pretty powerful devices, maybe often miss-used.

Also - having played with both 'hardware' and VST's I do prefer VSTs because of the ease of use; aka you can reload a track in seconds in Live versus spending 30+ repatching your gear, swooping out gear, etc (and then it's still not quite the same, but that's part of the magic of 'real hardware' I suppose).

But at the end of the day the music I created with VST's versus real hardware wasn't different at all sonically so I am 100% in the camp of VSTs are awesome.

That said, you need to be careful selecting a VST.They go 'stale' and become a liability, so for example if I open up projects from 5+ years back, almost none of them work now. So going forward, I'm going to be more careful, and probably buy VST's only from companies I expect to be around for the long haul.
Abstract: Inspired by progress in large-scale language modeling, we apply a similar approach towards building a
single generalist agent beyond the realm of text outputs. The agent, which we refer to as Gato, works as a
multi-modal, multi-task, multi-embodiment generalist policy. The same network with the same weights
can play Atari, caption images, chat, stack blocks with a real robot arm and much more, deciding based
on its context whether to output text, joint torques, button presses, or other tokens. In this report we
describe the model and the data, and document the current capabilities of Gato.

Black Jack is playing against the house and you can calculate perfect play. Poker is played against peers and perfect play does not exist. I think poker is a lot closer to speculating on crypto or stocks. Companies can disclose their transaction fees but it is impossible to calculate your expected return on investment. This is why there's almost always terms of service or disclosure to that extent

Yeah, this was the part that also occurred to me. With 1984 the threat that someone could watch is chilling. With our tech level everyone could be constantly watched and evaluated in real time by some sort of AI.

There are two directions the updated 1984 can now take. The AI is reporting you to the government. Or the AI just takes care of your punishment itself. Are you actually a dissident or did you just sneeze and the AI interpreted that as some code phrase? Doesn't matter.
If you delve deeper into the history of NATO, you will realize that the threat that was most critical in the mind of some members and a key reason it exists is the threat of...Germany (who was not, initially, a member, even West Germany) becoming resurgent again once the allied occupation inevitably ended. (Which, ironically, ended up taking much longer than anyone would have expected because of the Cold War.)

NATO was flexible for these purposes because it was not defined or structured around any particular threat, but as a general-purpose regional security organization with a mutual defense commitment adaptable to changing threat circumstances.
What you're missing is, at best, the tech to achieve this without actually needing the camera placed inside the room, will exist at scale in this century. At worst, it is already deployed in "hot" areas (areas significant to national security, experimental areas).

The question becomes how to control the inevitable proliferation of commoditized mass survelliance.

Privacy in the future will require a level of defense not available via common residential/commercial construction methods. Hell, even a SCIF eventually won't help..

What is the difference between a "data-shape check" and a type system?
To a programmer or scripter, an uppercase $WORD starting with a dollar sign often denotes a variable. Thus, $WORK could denote any sort of work, or if you're religious, you might worship a $DIETY (but which one we don't know without asking, so it's "variable" information).
How much expereince do you have dealing with the modern educations sytem in America? I graduated from the public school system just over half a decade ago, and even then this wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I went to a very small, rural school. The "town" consisted of the school, a single gas station, and a few churches. We had multiple armed resource officers, lockdown drills, locked entrances at all times, strict vistitor rules, etc. If someone had stopped to watch the playground I have no doubt they would end up in a discussion with an officer and asked to move along. Whether I agree with that or not is beside the point, but to me, this doesn't seem like an implausible situation for anyone to end up in.

Home values are also highly illiquid.

For most people, they can’t just sell off their homes if they need money, because they still need a place to live, which means they are buying another house at a similar elevated rate.

What that leads to is borrowing money against your house if you want to generate some liquidity out of your house. In addition, most people don’t actually own their homes outright, and have significant mortgages.

A loss of a job, or an unexpected expense, which makes paying back those loans difficult can risk your entire home ownership.

And that’s not even considering a scenario where house prices fall.

Fundamentally, housing is THE most illiquid asset for most Americans. What a lot of Americans have done is traded flexibility today for a potential payoff many years later. At a time with high uncertainty where the flexibility is probably gonna be extremely valuable.

My personal favorite story in this genre is that the set-top box that my employer-at-the-time imported into the US called the schedule "TV Guide."

PM: "We'll be sued! We'll be wiped out"
Non-US-folks: "Uhm, OK, so what about 'TV Listings'"
PM: "Oh, yeah, that will be OK"

You've perfectly described every martial arts gym / training session that I've been part of. Touch / light sparring is reserved for intermediates, and reflex / defensive drills are a strong prerequsite, and under no circumstances is anyone allowed to go "full speed".

It's amazing the gymnastics people will do to shift responsibility off the supply side and onto the demand side. No, lying should not be rewarded. Ponzi schemes should not be rewarded. Currently, they are. Yes, we need more responsibility -- on the supply side.

Demand side already has responsibility and correct incentives: the fools have been parted from their money. Done.

This goes for small things, like NFT ponzis, and big things, like turning housing into an asset class.
The hungarian leading party (fidesz) has already declared they will not veto Ukrain's adoption to the EU so I personally really doubt they would veto Finland's entry to the NATO. They are playing a double-game (sorry, this probably doesn't make sense in english, it's a hungarian expression): Orban had a famous quote he said to EU leaders "don't listen to what I say, only to what I do", which in practice means alienating the EU in rhetoric but not so much in practice. Of course this is not so simple as other EU members also care about the rhetoric too but it still summarizes Orban's geopolitics fairly well. This is not unique either, Merkel had similar "two-faced" approach to Russia and even toward Hungary, Orban is just significantly less popular in the west due to his populist anti-democratic tendencies.
What this needs IMNSHO is guarantees that once the document is loaded it won't do anything funny.

My preferred approach is a 1. small subset of modern HTML and css 2. (optional) that can link to a common package of JS to do things like partial updates ans autocomplete.

Main point is: Once the page has loaded nothing goes on in the background unless the user is explicitly changing the document, i.e. regardless of how many such pages you open, your CPU quickly goes to 0 and stay there.

So this could work too.
