Here's a phrase for you: "malicious compliance".

When I say "what" but not "how", I am trusting the system to be reasonable in the "how" it generates. But "reasonable" depends on my situation. Unless the system knows and understands that, it may easily do what I said, but do something that is anywhere from non-optimal to disastrous.

And if I have to say enough to prevent that - to prevent all the ways that could happen - is that more efficient, or less, compared to just writing the code myself?

In other news one toner of a generic HP laser printer prints about 3500 pages, without apps or subscription. And then you can send them to HP and they’ll recycle it for free, if you care about the environmental impact. I don’t quite understand what is the market for this product.

>Static typing everywhere. It's utterly baffling to me.

I find it far more baffling that people don’t want to offload the trivial parts of the mental work of ensuring the programs they write makes the minimum of sense.

I also jumped on the dynamically typed bandwagon after using low value type systems like java’s, but after using haskell, ocaml, typescript, purescript, rust, and especially elm, I realized that they let me focus on the business value over the incidental complexity from having any value potentially being anything…

(Even Agda and Idris have been amazing revelations in this context, but at that point the type theory does start to consume more time than necessary for ordinary development)
That is a terrible link to use as evidence. You think discussion in 2022 about what the 'safest forms of energy' is should be based on a table from 2012 that doesn't include grid scale solar PV?

> I wouldn't call the Garmin G1000 a paragon of UX design though.

In some ways I would.
I wouldn't call it "intuitive," but once you understand its semantics, it's phenomenally predictable in its behavior. And quite well thought through I think. Here's one of my favorite examples: On the MFD, in an urgent situation, two of the most helpful pages are the "map page," and the "nearest page." These are (unintuitively) the first and last page. Until you realize that that means you can access both without looking which page you're on by spinning the page knob either all the way left or all the way right.

It isn't perfect, but I find it generally well thought through.

I certainly can't argue with the points about transponder and com1/com2 inputs, but within the parameters for the device, I consider the UX for the G1000 to be ... maybe not a paragon in its entirety, but certainly much more thoughtful than what I encounter in other life daily.

When purchasing real-estate in a hot area, the real money comes from increasing prices. Some cities have had something like 10% - 15% annual growth, for 10 years straight.

Banks are also much more forgiving when it comes to down-payment, when they know it's going to be a rental, and you already have other rentals as collateral.

In essence, purchasing a rental unit with only 1%-5% down payment up-front, is kind of like purchasing stocks with 20x - 100x leverage. As long as you meet your mortgage payments, get steady rent, and don't get any crazy expenses - you're sitting on a goldmine.

Some of the guys I went to school with did just that. Bought a rental unit, while working. All their salary went toward down-payment of the next unit, and the banks were very forgiving when it came to new loans. After 10 years they had a nice portfolio of rentals, which they then sold to typical real-estate investment funds.

In that situation, the value of all cars went up, both new and used. The value of a used car was still much less than the value of a new car, you just didn't notice this because new cars didn't have their prices raised to correspond to the increased value.
Well, we're talking about the safety aspect right now. I'm not particularly worried about the mining of materials or even the disposability because (1) those are tractable problems and (2) ICE cars do many orders of magnitude more damage to the environment even ignoring their associated manufacture and disposal costs.

Which is probably for the best - I don't know how these newer cards behave, but a commonality of all the older RAID/HBA cards seems to be "no power management allowed". Maybe they improved that area, because it's pretty unreasonable for an idle RAID card to burn double digit Watts if you ask me...
The class imbalance quite literally represents the prior probability in the model.

As an example, train a logistic model on imbalanced data with both the real distribution of imbalanced classes and over/down sampled classes and you'll notice that the distribution of the predictions from each model is different.

This is hugely important because if you are using the output of your model as an expectation to feed into another model (for example predict expected value of a new user account given P(purchase) * E[value of purchase]), rebalancing will give you the wrong answer. This can be corrected in a logistic model by tweaking the intercept but doing this requires you to make some assumptions, and it's more artful of a process than one would hope.

You can also see this if you compare the log likelihood of the true data with the given model and the new data. The model trained on the real data will have a notably higher log likelihood.

Then there are separate issues with over/down sampling.

If you are over sampling the standard error on your coefficients will be artificially reduced by the over representation of examples from the one class, leading you to be more sure than you should be about your parameters. The point estimates should be more or less the same, but if you care at all about inference this change in standard error is a big deal. I believe, but would have to double check, that this would likewise impact the effects of regularization on your model.

If you are down sampling you are quite literally throwing out observations, and using less information than you have when modeling. Additionally you'll get the inverse problem which is artificially increased variance in the parameter estimates. Again, even if you don't care about inference you still have the problem that your regularization is very likely not working how you expect.

In my experience nearly all data scientists think they are experts in logistic regression when very few really understand this "simple" model. All of these issues here will manifest themselves in more complex models but understanding how (and how to correct them) is a much trickier question.

This is stupid. No special tricks or apps are needed. When the alarm goes off then just get out of bed. Force yourself until it becomes an automatic habit. And if you're finding it impossible to do so then that means you're sleep deprived. You can't fix sleep deprivation with a "trick". You have to go to bed earlier, or consume less alcohol and caffeine, or exercise more, or address any medical conditions like sleep apnea.
Thanks. Yeah, we’ve been building all kinds of things. Anything form dashboards, crud, public forms, ver advanced forms with complex validation and logic and even full MRP and CRMs. Of course there is an egde, for now it’s stuff like pub/sub, server oauth etc. But mostly seems like these edge cases can be supported as features later.

It seems like the abstraction is working really well thus far, separating the business logic, into operator functions, from the app and backend stuff is really key to this.

One of the brilliant things about Smalltalk was its change-management. You didn't just store programs, you stored "changes" to existing programs which assumes a context of existing 'classes" into which such changes can be applied.

Contrast that with current CVSes like git where you don't store changes to the objects you create or have created earlier, but just changes to which files exist in your (git-based virtual) file-system.

Git only knows about things like "files" and "folders", not about objects the user creates. Therefore you can not view a git-repo as a set of changes to your "program", it is only a set of changes to files and folders.

I bought a PineBook Pro and was pretty excited about it. Unfortunately I just couldn't get it to boot reliably. I was ready to do a lot of fiddling with it, accept the slow overall speed, but just fighting with the boot system all the time was not fun. Haven't touched it in months.
Yes, we're landlords. We own two small properties that were originally built as residences but now have commercial tenants because the zoning permits it and therefore the tax valuations assume we'll use it that way.

> Everyone wants to do what you are doing.

As with any other asset that makes money, there are reasons why property prices are what they are, and if it's a magic ticket to free wealth, you have to ask yourself why professionals with deep pockets aren't grabbing every property and driving prices up even further. In the case of properties that are within the reach of upper-middle-class earners, professionals are not willing to pay the prices that overexcited individual amateurs are.

> isn't your tenant basically paying off each property

...and it's special logic like this that convinces people that there's free wealth to be had. But there's no magic. There is a price. There is income. There are costs. There are assets that depreciate. The land is an asset that appreciates. That all adds up to a return on the investment. Professionals calculate the return and compare that to other things they could do with their money.

Amateurs (like us) just buy and hope and feel good because we're doing something that feels like rich person stuff. We're doing fine with our properties, but we'd be doing fine putting our money into index funds, too. In case it's not clear, I don't think our properties will turn out to be great investments for us unless the speculative aspect pays off big. But my wife actually enjoys the work of finding tenants, handling building maintenance, designing and overseeing improvements, etc., so we implicitly price her time at zero.

Let me repeat that to let it sink it: I think we'd be just as well off putting our money in the stock market. The main reason we've put a significant amount of our money in real estate because my wife enjoys it and doesn't mind putting a lot of personal work into our properties for free.

While getting stuck at a Cloudflare anti-bot screen, I noticed they've added some "fun" tips while you train their AI to detect boats or planes. One of these read "Did you know there are Verified Bots that are allowed around the internet because they help provide services we use day to day?"

I personally find it worriesome how Cloudflare is trying to confuse both devs and non-devs alike with these misleading stories about how the internet works, all while using it to grow their own influence and gatekeeping ability. What would your mother think when presented with such an authoritative message?

> Robust, comprehensive libraries from reliable vendors

Hah! In all my years the biggest, most difficult vulnerabilities/problems to remediate all came from vendor-made (90% of the time closed source) software. With the free, open source stuff the problems are usually very minor but even if they're BIG we'll pretty much always get fixes and deploy them faster than if we had to wait on a vendor.

The more popular the OSS the safer it is but even niche OSS tools/libraries are easier to work with by definition because we can look at and modify the source to correct the problem even if the original maintainer hasn't gotten around to it yet. This is actually a big reason why Python is preferred where I work: The code is inherently visible and fixable.

Those species are too specific, though -- a big pigeon, no. Big birds, yeah. Big rabbit -- not so common. Big mammals? I mean there are mythological versions of wolves, lions, etc. But those do seem to be a different sort of thing (we generally seem to have an easier time telling apart different species of mammal -- I guess because they are more similar and familiar to us).

Snakes do seem a little over-represented. I wouldn't classify the really popular medieval type of dragon that this article seems to be discussing (with the wings and lizard-like body) as a big snake. But there are other big mythological serpents.

Maybe some of it is evolutionary in the sense they discuss (fear of a body-form that threatened previous hominid species). But there were also species of snake that threatened the actual people coming up with those myths, not because they were giant and really fond of eating people, but because they were poisonous and easy to trip over.

Snakes are also a really simple shape. From a distance (like on top of a mountain) a river can look like a giant snake winding across the landscape. A floating log in the waves from just the right perspective could look like a sea-serpent (which would I guess have a tendency to spread, since so much long distance trade was maritime).

Add in a little historical coincidence (the presence of snake-gods in early mythology, like that of Mesopotamia) and it seems plausible to explain this without invoking any pre-homo-sapien memories.
Show HN: I made a tool to build badges in Pharo
I'd like to share with you a new app for building badges made with Pharo 10 (a fork of Squeak Smalltalk). It is based on the Shields.io badge generation provider.

The idea is to select the badges you want, complete the required variables, and get your badge(s). You can also save and load commonly used variables, so it may help a bit to automate presenting your project's README.

> the group with the most voting power "feels" powerless?

It seems like a strange thing to have powerless concerns about as voting only selects a representative. In my experience, the most likely candidates are all reasonably suited to the job, leaving it to matter little who ultimately wins. Even if you are powerless it is not that big of a deal, being the most inconsequential part of the process.

The real work happens after the vote has taken place when you have to start engaging with the selected representative on the regular to make your perspective known. It is guaranteed that you didn't elect a mind reader. It is not clear if the younger generations are aware of that. This may be why they feel powerless.

It my youth the message was always "contact your local representative", but in recent times that message has changed to "how could <insert political figurehead> do this to us?" There is some apparent degree of learned helplessness at play; perhaps because greater media exposure gives us insights into places with strong dictatorships and we project their conditions upon ours.

Invariably, those with enough land ownership ties will ultimately run into municipal issues that will require approaching council, at very least forcing a deeper understanding of government upon them. This may also help explain why those who own things are apparently more engaged politically.
It's something I've thought about but I'm not sure I'm going to implement it for a while as it would be quite a big undertaking. The same is true of complex numbers unfortunately.
Photography eventually led to the creation of an entirely new vidual medium though: films.

Films have a ton of artistic value, and even today, and a regular joe can appreciate many brand new, critically acclaimed films.

AI will absolutely kill some forms of art, and force others to change in a way that alienates most people. (Pop music and background muzak seem like low hanging fruit, because music can be distilled to numbers and signals much easier than other forms of art.)

But AI will undoubtedly lead to the creation of entirely new forms of art as well.

This isn't no code. This isn't even low-code. This is just a DSL (domain specific language).
So they've given up on the problem of making the news more accurate or having less partisan bias, and focused instead on the problem of... people being able to hold governments and corporations to account, and people becoming aware of ecological or public health threats?

And the whole thing uses opaque "proprietary AI tech" which is impossible to review and may in fact just be some low paid workers in a foreign country copy-pasting links from Reddit? I suspect that any news article that tried to expose a problem like that would be removed due to its "negativity".
