Hey everyone,

I'm Simba Khadder, Co-Founder & CEO of Featureform. I'm super stoked to be sharing our open-source feature store with you all. At my last company, we were building models that served to <100M MAU. Most of our time was spent feature engineering and using off-the-shelf model architectures. I remember having google docs that got shared around with useful SQL snippet, and digging in my file system to find untitled_128.ipynb which had a super useful transformation. We built Featureform so no one would ever have to deal with that again.

Featureform is a virtual feature store. It enables data scientists to define, manage, and serve their ML model's features. Featureform sits atop your existing infrastructure and orchestrates it to work like a traditional feature store.

By using Featureform, a data science team can solve the organizational problems:

- Enhance Collaboration Featureform ensures that transformations, features, labels, and training sets are defined in a standardized form, so they can easily be shared, re-used, and understood across the team.

- Organize Experimentation The days of untitled_128.ipynb are over. Transformations, features, and training sets can be pushed from notebooks to a centralized feature repository with metadata like name, variant, lineage, and owner.

- Facilitate Deployment - Once a feature is ready to be deployed, Featureform will orchestrate your data infrastructure to make it ready in production. Using the Featureform API, you won't have to worry about the idiosyncrasies of your heterogeneous infrastructure (beyond their transformation language).

- Increase Reliability Featureform enforces that all features, labels, and training sets are immutable. This allows them to safely be re-used among data scientists without worrying about logic changing. Furthermore, Featureform's orchestrator will handle retry logic and attempt to resolve other common distributed system problems automatically. Finally, Featureform will monitor and notify you of infrastructure problems and data drift.

- Preserve Compliance With built-in role-based access control, audit logs, and dynamic serving rules, your compliance logic can be enforced directly by Featureform.

Obviously. Lmao.
OP here -- yes this was definitely not a serious recommendation for anyone! I just thought some others might have possibly thought of this before (and now they don't have to do it!)

I thought the tl;dr would cover it:

> tl;dr - Don’t chuck the Sony 1000XMs/AirPods just yet. Throat mics are an improvement over a standalone wired microphone (if that’s what you are using), and have better background noise reduction but in a quiet room your usual bluetooth headset is still way more convenient.

How on God's green earth is this down voted? I feel like every single person I know that isn't a Trumpee lying to themselves about the hearings has expressed basically this exact sentiment?
This is a weird take. Americans are free to not support military interventions planned by their country. To imply that this stance is only possible with brain washing by China is something I wasn’t expecting to see on HN. Heck, it is usually the opposite. People become avid supporters of current war/invasion/intervention due to intense propaganda by traditional and social media.

I would applaud the American youth if your post ever becomes reality.
> cultural relativism is a liberal cop-out

I'm confused about what makes it liberal.
If you want to get that technical, sure, why not. I don't understand what point you're trying to make though.

Ultimately, ask yourself this question: if I set out to make a website in 1992 that I hoped would be around in 2022 after zero maintenance, would it be possible and why not. The only reason it wouldn't is my visitors are starting to enforce HTTPS. There's literally no other blockers. The backward compatibility within the web as an ecosystem is extreme.

Going back to the original point - if I'm building a long lasting website in whatever year Google Maps embeds became available, should I reasonably expect a map embed pulling from someone else's server to work forever?

Geez guys, all I'm saying is the name is unfortunate in the same way coq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coq is bound to be awkward when pronounced in other parts of the world.

I'm not implying there is anything nefarious about it.
I wonder if we will see a Unity acquisition by one of the big tech companies soon. Microsoft in particular would have an interest given:
1. Their huge gaming org
2. They made C#
GDScript is basically just a weird Python, but they also officially support C#, C, and C++. Also there are community-developed extensions for Rust and a few other languages. Also the C# support will be improving drastically with Godot 4.0 when they switch from Mono to .NET 6. You cam already build a preview version of Godot 4 with .NET 6 support if you do some tweaking, the work is pretty far along.

That said, most of the documentation and guides assume you're using GDScript or sometimes maybe C#.
A diet assumes that you are abstaining from something "normal" or "common" at some personal expense.

I'd argue it's not a diet, it's "avoid damaging your body with toxins" and very valid and useful life choice.
For what I know of R (about 1.5 year full time with it; probabilities modelling/data analysis), I concur: the ecosystem is rich AND messy. I'm super impressed by the quality of everything, but it's often a "needle in a haystack" experience... Interstingly, I was a strong python pogrammer so I started to do my stuff with scipy and so on while cursing at R every 5 minutes. And after that year, tables have turned, I much prefer to work with R...
I'm not in the US. But I've seen well below that in the states.
Objective Reality May Not Exist at All, Quantum Physicists Say
This is as good a time as any to remind people that the prices for vintage video games are artificially inflated and largely the result of wash trading via auction houses and grading services, which locked out the preexisting retro gaming communities and turned a beloved hobby into an instrument for dubious financial speculation (and arguably set the precedent for NFT crypto trading, which has even fewer regulations and even less transparency that could prevent these wash trades): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvLFEh7V18A

The story says the collector described his collection as an "archive". This flies in the face of actual archival efforts like The Internet Archive, which persist digital copies of old games and make them available to the public when possible. Having a large collection of rare games in pristine condition in locked cases in your vault is not archival, it's hoarding at worst and financial speculation at best.

If you are saying this in context of CLI. I have no clue. What I am saying is, if you understand the concepts and have a good GUI tool at your disposal you can solve almost all problems with ease.

I have previously used SmartGit which lets you drag and rearrange commits. It also allows interactively selecting the lines/chunks from you want to make part of commit. Same goes for resolving conflicts.
IntelliJ also has a very good GUI which I use these days at work.

Something I didn't find much help with was how to squash commits which include merge commits as well. But overall, GUIs help alot if you know what you want to do.
Why? Well, LLVM IR is pretty low level. Lattner and company learned when doing Swift that analyses and optimizations were more easily done with a higher level IR. So they created the higher level Swift IR and analyzed and optimized in that higher level IR and then lowered to LLVM IR. Generalizing from that, they created MLIR as a toolkit for higher level IRs which can lower to LLVM IR and indeed even other targets.

However, Clang remained unchanged. So what Facebook is doing now is applying this IR refactoring that had been successful with Swift to Clang. The result, CIR, will allow a better structured, faster and more secure Clang front end [1].

This is not some magical nonsense and you're not going to get magical results. This is just solid engineering and is based on an already successful pattern.

Democrats seems to love to run the least charasmatic candidates they have lately. Republicans seems to be interested in the opposite.

OP here -- this article isn't a recommendation to ditch whatever you use and get at throat mic! I just think they're interesting and finally scratched my own itch so figured I'd my experience (and leave some hints if anyone wanted to go make a bluetooth version).

The tl;dr:

> tl;dr - Don’t chuck the Sony 1000XMs/AirPods just yet. Throat mics are an improvement over a standalone wired microphone (if that’s what you are using), and have better background noise reduction but in a quiet room your usual bluetooth headset is still way more convenient.
That’s exactly the opposite of why it’s an unrelated analogy (which was stated). People live days of their lives far more often than they check baggage. Death is not a once per year risk. The risk of losing luggage per day or per hour of traveling is much higher than the risk of dying per hour/day of living.
There is so much privilege in this statement. I can only assume that no part of your gender/sexuality/race/religion/etc has ever been illegal or called an abomination or that you aren't a "real" person with rights. These parades are about being seen, about demanding basic human rights. A little empathy on your part could go a long way. Also, why do we need parades for Thanksgiving or Christmas. People just want to celebrate.
I really don’t buy the old taxes-make-the-money-work chestnut. Far too many counterexamples.
Do you have a Discord or anything? I'm interested in helping, I love Django and I would love to help any way I can.

Imagine the reaction of your teammates after you join a Zoom call wearing this.
Is less euphemistic language somehow better? If they said, "The economy is in bad shape, so we've decided we need to be spending less money right now. One way we're going to do that is by laying people off. We're sorry, but we're a corporation and we have to make prudent business decisions even if they cause some people to suffer." would that make anybody who got laid off feel better?
Thanks for responding, you're a good sport.

Indeed I'm looking at this from a long time frame. From recollection the main breaking changes I'm aware of:

1. The change from v2 to v3, like you mentioned.
2. The new requirement to always include an API key.
3. The visual update to touch-sized controls, distorting especially tiny embedded maps.
Plenty of people (although unfortunately not me) just don’t eat “junk food”. They aren’t trying to diet, it’s just their habit. I don’t know anyone who just happens to be keto cause that’s what they gravitate towards eating.
The extraordinary winners of the 2022 Lyttle Lytton contest
When I was in college, I had stopped playing MTG, but several of my DnD friends still did. Once in a while, I'd bring down a box of my cards, and let them pick through whatever they wanted for 80%-ish of their value, traded towards food. In a way, that was probably one of the best ways for me to get rid of some.
That was an enjoyable, nostalgia filled, and depressing read. It's obvious he didn't have the right security in place, but it seems he also didn't insure his collectibles appropriately. It's hard not to feel sorry for someone who collected as a labor of love, moreso since he seemed generous in opening his collection up to the greater community.
Data shows just how much investors have been contributing to the housing boom
We've one or two things in common. I see no contradiction between
being intellectually at the leading edge of technology, and not owning
a smartphone.

You can read about how that came about in Digital Vegan [1]. For many
of the same reasons I now feel alienated from "smartphone culture",
occasionally use a Nokia flip-phone and buy individual gadgets that I
love and repair.

They've done a great deal of good, of course, but at least an equal
amount of harm, psychologically and socially.

Not sure what you're suggesting with that article - I have no issues with residual strong force effects as a concept nor that it happens in nature. That wasn't the point I made.

The broader argument against nuclear is the fact we have superior options available with FAR less set up time (solar, wind, hydro, etc). Battery tech is also starting to improve, meaning transport is becoming more possible. You have to be at least subconsciously aware of that, or you wouldn't have had so much to sling at alternative forms of energy.

The waste caused by wind and solar are far exceeded by nuclear waste (even with better options like thorium cycle plants).

This is relevant because if we are to use nuclear power, it should offer a good alternative to these options. I would love nuclear power to be viable because it would mean more research into nuclear physics, but the reality is that it confers a geopolitical risk, takes 10 years to set up a traditional reactor, and mini reactors are inefficient at best.

There is also the issue of cost per Watt - which is highly dependant on location and regulation. The majority of what I have seen in this category is unfavorable though (but, that could change).

Nuclear physics is good. Nuclear power is sub-optimal. No one is trying to stop the earths core, or the Sun's fusion, or bananas from radiating. The argument is against building reactors.

And indeed, that doesn't really mean anything to anyone and it's amusing that you assert an anecdote in response to requests for data but I guess I expect too much from people these days. Just whatever sounds good and plausible to them is enough.

Probably if you haven't heard of CHERI and can't be bothered to Google it when one of the most respected systems architects around tells you it's worth looking at, you aren't going to put in the effort needed to read the CHERI tech reports so you can have an informed opinion on the performance cost of putting this kind of protection into hardware. And if the only historical "OO" processors you can think of are Rekursiv and iAPX432, and not the Dorado or the Symbolics line or the B5000/B5500/ClearPath line, it sounds like you have a lot of reading to do to get to having an informed opinion.

I don’t think “investment” is the right word. I think it’s closer to “collecting.”

They may say “investment” to make their expensive hobby seem more acceptable to the judgmental parts of society.

Though perhaps it is like Beanie Babies: people are truly fooled into thinking they’re making an investment.
> I'm curious as to why the author even thought that a throat mic would have good audio quality. Throat mics are designed for loud, high intensity situations. For the use case of a throat mic, "good audio quality" means the receiver can actually understand what you're saying, something that is pretty easy to achieve in a home office environment.

The good audio quality I thought would come from it being viable in a "loud, high intensity situation". I thought quite simplistically that there must be something there if people are depending on throat mics in warzones.

To be clear though, the throat mic certainly has "good audio quality" -- I use it on most of my calls now, and I don't get any complaints -- tested with a friend beforehand and he didn't know the difference until I asked.

> And I'm sure that it's possible to make a throat mic that has great audio quality. But I think the overlap of "people who want throat mics" and "people who want good audio quality" consists solely of the author of this article.

Would sure like to find some more people (maybe ones that like to do kickstarters or have manufacturing connections) because I'd sure like to expand this niche!
The advice given is sound and I try to practice it myself. As opposed to adhering to strict, specialised routines I just move and work out when I can in various ways, I avoid sugar and try to eat more greens. It works really well for me.

But the article doesn’t do a good job of debunking the “trendy” wellness. Yeah, if it has the word detox in it it’s probably bullshit, but that’s about all they have to say. There absolutely are modern practices that are effective and worthwhile. Mindfulness is a big one. Massages, yoga etc are also genuinely effective.

it's already bad enough hearing people slurping/gulping with normal mics, this mic sounds horrible.

hikes in interest rates, if you have negative cash flows (need funding), the cost of the capital incises needing even more capital to pay your old debt, this affect less more establish banks who use they own cash flow.

inflation cause price of the product to go out but also the cost of the production, if you don't have a profitable product this make it even more negative cash flow.

also people are less likely to take debt if their fear how to pay back.

i don't know Australia but most bank offer solid smartphones and web base service( in south-america) meaning that maybe isn't that much of deal breaker anymore, you can do similar things whit the competition and have a full physical service to fall back if it something go wrong.

Windows NT learned from DOS, Win 3.1, and Windows 95 though. They had 4 generations or so before they made an operating system that was stable and maintainable.
"What people outside do not appreciate is that a newspaper is like a soufflé, prepared in a hurry for immediate consumption. This of course is why whenever you read a newspaper account of some event of which you have personal knowledge it is nearly always inadequate or inaccurate. Journalists are as aware as anyone of this defect; it is simply that if the information is to reach as many readers as possible, something less than perfection has often to be accepted."

Among many other factors, access to the source code is game-changing and should not by any means be underestimated.

It is great of you know c++, but if you aren’t, Unreal neither offers a scripting language, nor does access to the source code offer any benefit. I’m hopefully waiting the scripting language they announced last year. (Verse?)
The German system is exactly what I would be aiming for. We should refuse the notion that renting flats is a business, especially as it’s intended in the UK, where it’s the less taxed than work. In addition, we should tax properties and use that money to cut NI.
That is a perspective with zero empathy.

These people are amateurs with near-zero resources generously sharing their content with the world. They may have all kinds of reasons for being unable or unwilling to continuously update their site.

The bigger point is that when you create a website according to web standards, it should keep working indefinitely. As for 3rd party integrations, especially when they're enormous (Google, Facebook) they should do the maximum possible to not break anything. The very point of an API is that it's a contract.
I ported my number to Telnyx and then wrote 75 lines or less of JS. Now I have an Allowlist that rings straight through to my phone, a way to allow all calls during a time slot, and a menu that allows random callers to connect to me ONLY if they know the first letter of my last name.

Spam calls stopped very quickly, and moreover, have not really returned even after disabling it. I got off "the list" finally.
Gold having value over a long period of time is a counter argument. Nobody is transacting in gold yet it is valuable.
That's the same for literally any other programming language ecosystem. The discussion here was about the web being distinctly more rot-inclined as an ecosystem. I'm purely arguing that it's absolutely not. Comparatively it's much easier to avoid rot on the web than it is off the web.

> will not be able to build within a year's time

Fwiw, and I know this is a nitpick, but anything built purely on open source libraries should be technically buildable forever. Especially if you keep it local (e.g. cached node_modules for npm)
