Fair point. I guess if their training data is biased towards existing known structures (via xray or nmr or whatever) then there is the risk of incorrect predictions.

At a guess, the core packing in non-globular proteins might be different? Also the distribution of secondary structure might also vary between classes. Might be worth someone studying how much structural constraints depend on fold (if they have not already).
Honestly, it's a solid and fair question of labor to management. If they're going to be changing incentives, an employee is in the right to ask about related incentives so that they can make the educated decision sooner rather than later that "this place isn't for you," which was Zuckerberg's stated goal in the Q&A.

The door swings both ways, and if Meta can't exist without making people work harder for less compensation, maybe Meta doesn't need to be in the market. More information shared earlier can optimize everyone's time.
Speaking generally, chat and phone support are designed to provide immediate round-the-clock service to a wide range of issues but not literally every type of issue that a financial institution has to be able to deal with.

Sometimes, a financial institution might only be able, due to staffing or other considerations, to deal with you asynchronously in writing, perhaps from e.g. a group of professionals who are not as numerous as front-line user operations.
If they have to have an office in every state that is no problem. Except maybe Alaska there are enough cities that you can open an office in every state very quickly and hire people to live there. In fact work from home might even be useful. I could well see them hiring remote people with a "must live within 100 miles of X small town and have a reliable car". 95% of the time they will work from home, but that other 5% they use their car to drive to wherever the stuck truck is and figure out how to get out of trouble.

Pre-commit running tools in it's own virtual environment is a feature, not a bug, in my book -- it means that the dependencies for my linter tools aren't mixed in with the dependencies for the code I'm writing.

And, keeping things separate from setup.cfg or pyproject.toml is optional: The tools still look for configuration in their usual places, so it's still possible have your black options in pyproject.toml and just a bare-bones entry to call black in your .pre-commit file if you prefer.

I think it will be studied and valued indefinitely, if not for anything else, due to it's massive impact on literature and popular culture in this era, which shows no sign of waning. If anything in my lifetime it's influence has increase dramatically. Nobody in the future interested in the culture of the 20th and 21st century, and quite possibly well beyond, could ignore it.

Having said that, will non-academics in that far future still read it for entertainment? That's harder to say because in large part it depends how much language evolves. We still read Shakespear, go to see the plays, and even go and see film productions of it in cinemas but it's language is only diverged from our by 400 years.

A thousand years can allow for a lot more linguistic divergence. Chaucer from 900 years ago is hardly recognisable as English, but that's mainly due to a shift that occurred in only a few hundred years. If such a shift occurs again then today's fiction might become inaccessible, but we can't know that in advance.
I'm surprised to hear that. Though, I expect your opinion might not be the only one in the European continent. If you can believe the EU polls, support for Ukraine's defense is quite high: https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2772

So, either those surveys are lies, or the US has somehow brainwashed EU's citizens, or there actually is broad European support for aiding Ukraine in its defense, sanctioning Russia including reducing Oil and Gas purchases, and welcoming Ukraine into the EU in time.

I don't know where you live, but it is entirely possible that there will be backlash in your country or district, while still maintaining the general support for what's going on across the broader EU.

The problem with Python is it's too successful. It has too many useful libraries. I don't really like it very much but it's really hard to ignore it.

There is exactly one thing I miss from Python packaging tools: developer mode. I can factor out parts of an application into a library and develop both at the same time by installing the library in editable mode and pointing to the library's local directory. This is something I've always wanted but never had in every other language I know. Only god knows how much time I spent trying to do exactly this with git submodules.

The Big Lebowski might have been the nucleation site that started the crystallization of that meme, but I think the public was well primed for it. Hotel California was (maybe still is?) getting an absurd amount of radio playtime. They played it so often, I think backlash was bound to happen sooner or later.

I don't dislike the band generally, Journey of the Sorcerer is still one of my favorite songs ever. But I've heard enough Hotel California for three or four lifetimes already.
Seems like most "news" on HN has gone down hill in favor of a stream of constantly updating news. I've been thinking that HN should update their algorithm to punish people that post links that don't get comments; so you are incentivized to only post a link if you think it'll actually be interesting. Maybe just give -100 karma for every link you post, and then you get karma back based on the percentage of points in comments on the post.

I've also notice the number of duplicate/triplicate+++ submissions seems to be increasing also. Guess no one has time to check if the story has already been added. This would also be fixed by giving an initial -100 points per post.

> I'm glad I don't care too much about the opinions of other people

I think there is a small minority of people that either want attention, or don't mind it.

The rest of the world wants to avoid drawing attention to themselves. This is true for both positive and negative attention. I don't think it's so much about what others think, I think it's just that attention is uncomfortable for most people, and they do what they can to blend in as to avoid drawing attention and feeling uncomfortable.

If the world were more colorful, this may mean not wearing neutral colors, as this would now stand out and likely draw attention.
But you DO look past the purpose of that injection of money, which was to protect jobs/economy.

My joke, which clearly missed, was about expectation. Not waking up because your house remains still (as you expect it to) is different than sleeping a train you're expecting to, at some point, be moving and undulating. I say this as a person who falls asleep in moving vehicles—and wakes up if they stop for more than a few minutes.
I'm not sure that's really possible, is it? If your legal control over your subsidiary is sufficiently tight that your subsidiary cannot turn rogue on you (and if it doesn't turn rogue on you despite not having sufficiently close legal ties, you might effectively be forming an illegal cartel, wouldn't you?), it's presumably also sufficiently tight for the US government to act through those ties.

I don't understand the appeal of UBI. The official line is that it will replace all of the bureaucracy of the existing welfare structure and simplify it, giving handouts to everyone. Aside from the obvious inflation concerns that have been beaten to death and considering our current reality I don't even care to argue that point anymore.

But the one reality of UBI that I've never heard addressed is what happens with the crackhead parent who smokes up the $1,500 in the first week (or gambles away, or blows on a 80" TV or whatever)....do we just let their kids starve for the rest of the month? Of course not, so now we're back to needing other programs to supplement the cash handout. That reality is never factored into the cost estimates. Why not, and what is the actual solution?
Well, yes, officer, I understand that you clocked me going 20 miles per hour over the speed limit, and that has historically matched the colloquial definition of "speeding," but if you consider other factors…

Come on. This is flagrantly the same level of truth-adjustment that the Trump administration was accused of doing.
How do you know that the predicted structure will be correct? I presume researchers will need to validate the structure empirically. Do we know how good the model has been at predicting so far?
Perhaps, but it's not just one team, and if you are doing code quality checks on CI anyway, I don't see the point of pre-commit (for most people).

If by "painting" you also mean things like lithographs[1] and magic lantern[2] shows and glazed ceramics and dyes used in textiles and rugs, then sure, all we had were words and paintings.

Show HN: I Made Computer Science Themed Collectible Cards
Hi all, I made a Computer Science themed Collectible Cards deck. There are 36 cards in it ranging from simple data structures such as linked list and stack to more advanced ones such as bloom filter and merkle tree.

I'm a software engineer with a knack for drawing. A few years back I thought about making playing cards based on Computer Science concepts but I did not make it very far. When I revisited this idea again I decided to start with an MVP: Data Structure Collectible Cards. Each card would depict a data structure, state its space/running time complexities, and provide a brief description of said data structure (so in a way it's like Pokemon collectible/playing cards :))

I have a long roadmap that covers many Computer Science/Software Engineering concepts for both collectibles and playing cards. My hope is these decks could be something that spurs people's interest in Computer Science, or something that academics/engineers will feel proud displaying on their shelves (long shot, I know).

I'm in the process of figuring out fulfillment and kickstarter campaign. Once I have a gauge of people's interest from email sign-ups, I will put in a bulk order.

Feel free to navigate around my site; I've put in all my heart into designing it and I hope you will like it :)

People have been making grand statements about the structure of the protein universe for quite some time (I've seen a fair number of papers on this, such as https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1096/fasebj... and https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1096/fasebj... from a previous collaborator of mine).

Google didn't solve the structure of the protein universe (thank you for saying that). But the idea of the protein structure universe is fairly simple- it's a latent space that allows for direct movement over what is presumably the rules of protein structures along orthogonal directions. It would encompass all the "rules" in a fairly compact and elegant way. Presumably, superfamilies would automagically cluster in this space, and proteins in different superfamilies would not.
Interesting seems I hit rate limit after viewing 3 or 4 pages... So they seem to do some real time configuration on that.

> significant evidence of Donziger's fraud ended up being captured by a friendly documentary crew that had been following him around.

I don't think thats a correct reading of the judgement at all. The "most thorough documentary" is the court referring to itself in the amount of data (i.e. documents) that it accumulates to show that it's improbable for the Ecuadorian judge to have written the initial decision (against chevron).

> many court cases Donziger has lost

Tthose court cases generally explicitly say they're not deciding if Chrevron broke any laws. They're generally pretty explicit in that they don't think Donziger won "correctly". i.e. with the PCA the PCA isn't saying that Chrevron didn't litter, they're saying we think the decision by initial judge was done improperly (i.e. it was ghost written).

I wonder if you could use just 1 spacecraft and actually exploit the rotation of the planet to "scan" the planet surface in 1 dimension. The movement of your telescope would provide the other dimension, so in a slow fly-through you could get a 2D image of the planet surface. So e.g. imaging a 12000 km (Earth-size) planet at 10 km/pixel would take 1200 planet rotations, each providing a row of pixels, taking about 3 years assuming it's rotating at the speed of Earth. You would just have to know ahead of time the orientation of the planet's axis of rotation so you approach the "focal region" from the right angle.
