Not entirely sure where you're going with this.

Deserved means "rightfully earned because of something done or qualities shown; merited." And that's a perfect description of the faults I demonstrated. It might happen out of laziness for another worker, but in my case it was mixed fear/social anxiety that kept me from pushing the customer harder, as needed, to enable me to finish required work. Just an example.
Wait, who are you again?
I find 1Blocker is sufficient, even if it’s not as flexible as ublock origin. I like that Safari’s content blockers are designed to make it easier to trust them (e.g. you don’t have to trust that they don’t send your browsing history to a server, because they cannot make network requests)
Condition and rubbing is the problem. If you have no rubbing or condition problems then you should be OK.

If you're concerned about tracking it in from outside, or improper renovation, you can apply the tests to dust too, which is where any pulverized lead in the air would come from.
Probably 4 years slow
At some companies, it takes more effort to go through the procurement process than to build the thing.
Hard agree. Even if they contract it out, it should at least live on CNAME under official gov TLD(s).
Honestly, it would take me a few hours too. I just wanted to undercount the projected time, in the event there were “I could do this in X minutes” responses. But yes, it would take me a few hours to do this too.
And yet somehow Apples GPU ALUs are more efficient at 3.8 watts per TFLOP. Mind, I am not talking about specialized matrix multiplication units that have a different internal organization and can do things like matrix multiplication much more efficiently, but about basic general-purpose GPU ALUs.

The comparison of efficiency between Apple and Nvidia here is a bit misleading because one compares Apples general-purpose ALUs to Nvidia’s specialized ALUs. For a more direct efficiency comparison, one would need to compare the Tensor Cores against the AMX or ANE coprocessors.

As to how Apple achieves such high efficiency, nobody knows. The fact that they are on 5nm node might help, but there must be something special about the ALU design as well. My speculation is that they are wider and much more simpler than in other GPUs, which directly translates to efficiency wins.
> No, for certain changes in Manifest V3 there is no way to polyfill the V2 API because the functionality is essentially removed/impossible to do now.

But isn't the whole announcement about Firefox also going to support v3 (e.g. you only need to write for v3) except that it still allows some of the removed functionality _additionally_ to the v3 APIs Chrome has?

> Also, other aspects [..]

Yes, that will be a major change. But as far as I understand one you have to go through anyway if you want to support Chrome.
There's no competition between linguistics and ML/NLP, they have completely different goals as fields.

I meant that my linguistics background helps me understand & solve problems: studying linguistic field work has helped me design crowd labeling jobs, knowing about morphology helps me understand why BPE tokenizers work so well (and when they might not), knowing about syntax/dominant word order makes me think that multilingual Bert should probably do something more intelligent with positional embeddings, methods from psycholinguistics are useful for understanding entropy/surprisal wrt LM next-word probabilities... just a few examples but the list could go on.
Modern finance and accounting more-or-less started in Renaissance Italy. Double-entry bookkeeping meant merchants and bankers kept good books. Good books and good accounting made negotiable instruments like bills of exchange (e.g. checks) and letters of credit reliable--at least when drawn on or issued by Italian banks and their partners around the continent--which meant travelers and traders didn't need to carry alot of currency or gold (dangerous), or resort to barter. Negotiable instruments in turn built up foreign exchange markets. Foreign exchange markets grew foreign financing. Larger, more liquid financing markets meant it became easier to borrow against assets (i.e. security). And on and on.

Much of modern transactional banking and securities law became settled during that period, eventually becoming nearly universal across disparate legal regimes around the world.
Tragedy of the commons, its the same reason there are big car companies but not big road companies.
What Is Remix Missing?
Hey all, new software developer here and am looking to create a project that will help solve a problem and gain me some experience. I was wondering if any of you remix users (or potential remix users) have felt that remix is missing something that could be added by a third party. Whether it is something that could be addressed through a package or if its a monitoring tool that could be developed or a chrome dev tool for debugging and testing. Really anything that comes to mind, I would love to hear it. Thanks for helping out a newbie and giving inspiration!

I bet non technical people, the ones not even knowing what an ad blocker is, will tell you its getting better and better. Google search got really good at I dont know what Im doing let me describe it like Im speaking to a dog queries.

For example last week I was trying to find a 10 year old French song. All I remembered was some bits and pieces from the music video, so I just dropped this gem into search tab

music video french song windstorm tornado

and bam 4th result is 'Dernière danse' wikipedia page, despite no 'windstorm' nor 'tornado' in the wiki text. 5th results under Videos tab.

Want to find a particular meme?

two sad girls smiling man meme

and just like magic 3rd result on main page, second under Images. Leads to reddit post explaining the source (Survivor show).

Google realized Semantic Web is not going to happen and moved on to AI solutions. Every picture and video indexed is OCRed and goes thru ML classifiers, every query gets "what would a stupid person ask to get real answer" treatment.
I guess this is nice for some small subset of users - those with both a Mac but use android - but I don't see that being very many people.

On top of that, I don't really see how have to run this relay will result in an amazing experience. Sounds brittle and lots of moving parts to me, and that's before getting into Apple changing their public API or cutting off your account of TOS violations.
Just nitpicking but the 'Turing test' can only be failed, not passed, which is quite apt given another problem associated with Turing: the halting problem.
Because of the often overlooked part of the demand/supply equation is that demand isn't just what people want, it's what people can afford. Grain futures won't go higher if people won't pay more for grain. Less grain production will simply mean at some point that the persons who don't have enough money will go hungry (or eat something else).

It's actually the effectiveness of the markets that cause this. If grain production in rich countries goes down because of expensive fertilisers, then the demand of grain by those rich countries is satisfied by the supply of poorer countries. The pain won't be felt domestically, except by the farmers.
By tanking the economy, eliminating positions and increasing unemployment and creating a labor-seeking glut again, even if means causing a depression.
> Is there an off-the-shelf billing product available out there?

There are lots and lots of OTS billing systems. They might work the way you want or need. Billing is the classic "I wanted wheel, except I wanted a round one" kind of problem. Right now, I'm looking for a system that will let sales invoice whatever they put on paper, and be good a structured, recurring billing that is easy to hook up to my SaaS platform. Oh, and Bob in sales wants to be able to edit the invoices after they are issued...
There is no safe limit for lead other than zero, and there is no reason for these planes to continue using lead other than it being an externality.
Yeah.. I'm seeing the same thing where I work. Moving from ruby/rails to elixir. No outages, but dev speed is at a crawl. All the legacy stuff just gets ugly patches.

There was zero need to switch because even though elixir/BEAM allows for a pile of processes, postgres does not.

If I had to guess, the switch was made because someone saw something shiny.
I don't think there is any reason for involving a private company, aside from the kickback/corruption ones. I've had to get fingerprinted and background checked for several jobs in different states and all were done through the local police department.
If your script doesn't need any third-party modules, you can try running it with "python3 -S", which should make the startup significantly faster if there are a lot of modules installed. (Twice as fast on my machine. Running Python from a venv is also somewhat faster than running it directly, but not as fast as with "-S".)
Qt has data grids built in, but QAbstractItemModel is a nightmare to implement and interface with (https://www.reddit.com/r/QtFramework/comments/rx0c8e//hrfvyz..., https://docs.google.com/document/d/1__bldg9SwENN2d6LyiX0wwX5...). I think some of the incidental complexity could be fixed, and the implementation could definitely be simplified by removing dragging between widgets (which requires the model's backing data store be built around adding and removing items, rather than merely reordering them), but I feel it's inherently difficult to communicate changes to data to the QAbstractItemView in the form of individual insert/delete/move operations. I haven't explored the JS world's approaches to UI diffing or lazy-loaded data grids though.
Ask HN: Thoughts on Terminating Underperformer
I have an under-performer in my team. Performance has been below par for a while and it is my failure for not addressing it sooner (as the manager). Employee had health issues and other life events that made the company's leadership give person a chance to improve. It is clear the person is not going to perform at the required level. Any guidance or frameworks to rationalize termination? I have not done this before and really not looking forward to it. HR is not being too helpful.
Those are all different things and different forms of borrowing though.

When someone borrows against cheese they are borrowing against existing personal property for which labor has already been supplied rather than borrowing against future earnings. The lender does not need to verify income and credit, just inspect the purity of the cheese. With a home loan, the owner is borrowing against the personal property in the building, as well as the common property in the land and the future earnings of other people such as their tenants.

Additionally in the case of a co-op, the interest charges the organization collects on the debt are usually reinvested locally for the benefit members.
Also if they are optically powered with a laser, you'd notice if someone was trying to light it up while it was inside of you. :)
If you can actually get 'local fresh' tomatoes, yes absolutely, but the rest of the time (the vast majority of the year, for a start) canned are going to beat the socks off them.

(Also there's canned and there's canned.. it's worth paying for unless you just want red broth.)
So where does one ingest these?

It really is not. Python allows a huge amount of the object model to be overridden and introspected at any point. Javascript doesn't even allow operator overloading.

It's not that the cellulose is harmful, but that it might be used as filler in quantities far in excess of what is necessary for preventing caking. Calling it "wood pulp" is pointless scaremongering, I agree.

Cellulose on pregrated cheese is also supposed to impair melting, but I've always questioned how strong this effect might be. I've used grated cheese that melts wonderfully and grated cheese that might as well be plastic, and that's generally been correlated with the price of the cheese. Maybe cheaper cheese has more cellulose, but in my experience it's also drier and more rubbery, and melting is influenced by moisture content.

Clicking on my state brought me to my state's Department of Health website, whose Public Health Laboratory offers a send-in water lead test for $20.
You can kill inflation with demand side strategies, even if the root cause of the recent changes in inflation are supply side.

Imagine an ad infinitum example. Let's say the price of gas goes to $1M a gallon. The fed then somehow removes every dollar from the economy. The price of gas is still going to be approaching zero when denominated in dollars after demand is forced to zero(in reality the price of gas would just change to be denominated in physical violence in this mad max scenario but that's an aside)
Why not a flat duration? Why tie it to life of author in the first place - what's the benefit?
Really? Most of the entrepreneurs I've met have had to do a lot of work, but none of them (this is my personal experience) regret striking out on their own.

Advocating for a resigned alienation from one's work is advocating for living one's life for other people.

I don't buy it.
I’m not claiming or not claiming that Safari is best at supporting “web standards”. I’m simply saying that if Apple supported every web standard in the world, the revenue generating apps would still be native.
There were rumors that Qt wanted to take the project proprietary. They didn't go through with those plans, but right now they are delaying all patch releases of Qt5 by 12 months, forcing KDE to maintain their own set of backported patches )https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtbase/-/tree/kde/5.15), and rebase on top of Qt 5.15.3 and .4 etc. every so often, until KDE eventually ports to Qt 6.
Zstd has a 4-byte magic number, which is used to check if the data is zstd encoded. In addition to that, this example has a 2 byte frame header (including the decompressed size), a 3 byte block header, and a 4 byte checksum at the end (which can be disabled with `--no-check`).

Zstd does have a mode that passes-through incompressible data, both for incompressible literals, and completely incompressible blocks (128 KB chunks).

For small inputs, we recommend using dictionary compression. But even with dictionary compression, because of our header costs, you won't generally see benefits until your data is at least ~50 bytes. But YMMV depending on your data.
The government background check for buying firearms does not involve fingerprints either.
There's merit to the idea of having a writing sample from a candidate. If you want to know that a candidate can communicate effectively, you'll want to both hear them talk and read their writing.

That said, I'm not sure whether or not these interview processes were set up with that in mind. If they were, they should also consider that writing can take a long time to produce and so the writing sample should be adjusted to not be too long.
it took me 20 years to learn this body of knowledge and now it can just sort of be summed up in a paragraph.

When I learned and used gradient descent, you had to analytically determine your own gradients (https://web.archive.org/web/20161028022707/https://genomics....). I went to grad school to learn how to determine my own gradients. Unfortunately, in my realm, loss landscapes have multiple minima, and gradient descent just gets trapped in local minima.
Cool, only $4.99 million to go.

An increase of MBS offered on the market will cause mortgage rates to rise because there's too many loans for sale and not enough buyers. Buyers will demand higher and higher rates to make it worth their while.

Agreed. When I bought the original Samsung Galaxy Note, my friends all thought it was hilariously, ridiculously, impractically large. It was smaller than my current Pixel 5.

Yes, this phone is hard to use one handed, but the value of the large screen outweighs everything else.
I used to work at a company in which psychometrics were a major component. If you've ever taken a computer adaptive test, that test was based on a psychometric model.

For example in an adaptive test, question are trialed in order to determine how discriminating they are (i.e. which side of an ability estimate correctly answering places you), the likelihood of error in responding (maybe how confusing the item is or some other interference), likelihood of guessing, etc. It is essentially a statistical discipline with some grounding in psychology, but all of the pyschometricians I worked with considered themselves primarily statisticians.

I've never understood psychometry to be a theory about personality, though I suppose you could apply it to such a theory. Maybe its a case of the same term applied to two things?
This is more of a replacement for deflate / gzip. You can use zstandard inside a zip file using compression type 20, as of zip v6.3.7 (2020), but I suspect not much software will be able to decompress it.

Seen a number of gzip replacements go by, like .bz2 (smaller but requires lots of CPU), .lzma and .xz (strictly an improvement over .bz2), and some others. Zstandard is a fairly solid improvement over these for similar use cases so I think it will get adopted. There's also the "extreme" compression algorithms like .lz4 (extremely fast, don't care about compression ratio) or PPMD (extremely slow, care deeply about compression ratio). My sense is that a large number of projects migrated to .bz2 and then to .xz over the years, and maybe we'll see more .zstd cropping up.

Excel is very powerful. One of the biggest causes of tech people failing at product innovation is trying to sell a product that excel can already do to an audience that excel is already optimized for.

Stripe is fairly straight to set up if you sell products in the US and only accept cards.

For selling a SaaS worldwide, Stripe quickly becomes just as much of a nightmare. Taxes, billing, chargebacks, subscriptions, web hooks, different payment methods, VAT validation, card expiries, legislation, changing laws, SCA flows, and my favourite: SCA iframes that become non-responsive on browsers in a certain language. It is a never ending source of edge cases.

Don't ask me how I know... My biggest mistake with my business was that I vastly underestimated how much work it is to accept payments. In my case, it proved to be more work than building the product itself.
‘National IQ’ datasets do not provide measures of cognitive ability worldwide
the user already suffers by "Google" cross-financing all these free things (from search itself to mail, chrome, android, and ... go, k8s, project zero, and who knows what)

and I've added the quotes because of course everyone else does that, and it trains users (and now since everyone is a user it basically conditions society) to have unrealistic expectations, skews what people value, completely fuck up the market (hard to compete with free)

...

that said, in the end the user gets what it wants "opt out", and it's free for them.
I don't believe it's not doable, but all I've seen of North American supermarkets is 'cheddar-style' processed cheese and similar abominations; is food-buying just different, does anyone wanting half-decent cheese go to a cheesemonger or farmers' market or something?
Can you provide a source?

For example, the SVD (Golub-Kahan-Reinsch) method generally involves bidiagonalisation of the matrix and then implicit QR steps, which are often achieved with Householder reflections and Givens rotations. Sure, all of those are conceptually matrix multiplications, but they're not implemented as O(N^3) matrix multiplications; rather, their special structure is exploited so that they're faster. Yet, the entire algorithm is still cubic. So not sure Strassen would accelerate things.
Social search has been attempted so many times.

Google tried it in 2009, failed.
Microsoft tried it in 2013, failed.
Startups across the board have tried it.

I think it is because "social" usually implies to a user that they are searching for a person, not the content they create. And previously, there wasn't a ton of UGC that was relevant to a query.
