The vast majority of SPAs are not 'Maps, Earth, etc.'.

I thought the 'if the level of interactivity basically amounts to a form' of top-level comment sums it up nicely. Many are SPAs for the sake of it, similarly to packaging a website as an 'app' but not doing anything native, offline, or that really warrants it being its own app at all other than getting homescreen space on iOS.

(Totally off-topic: I can't believe Apple still doesn't let you organise that however you want. It's sort of a small thing, but also so in your face, by far the most immediate turn-off to me of iOS.)

Yes, and it should be mentioned that they have managed to do so _only_ with the help of basically feeding unimaginable amounts of energy contained in fossil fuels directly to the plants in the form of nitrogen (fixed in the form of Ammonium).

> Given that a very large percentage of the world population lives near the ocean, what makes you think relocating hundreds of millions if not billions of people and their jobs and communities is not a hard problem?

IMO it really isn't that much of a problem. Sea levels will not rise suddenly but gradually. That will put (slowly) increasing economic pressure on coastal areas, which will gradually drive people from there by giving them incentive to move somewhere else.

If there were a flood instead, relocating all the people living on the coast sure would be a huge problem. But the way things are, it will IMO just be one of the minor problems humanity will face.
MSFT also allows arbitrary installation of software and development systems. They do force updates, scanning, and other common security best practices.

This is why I use a fake phone number when I'm forced to provide one, especially when ordering stuff off the internet. Good luck with your business, but I don't want to be in your database. It's quite annoying how every retail establishment tries to onboard you into their data harvesting scheme with their "points" and "rewards". No thanks, if I have to pay extra I'll do that. Phone numbers are terrible in particular because they are PII and can be used to link various data sources together to "enrich" them when selling that data to the brokers.

I do miss the days when you could just go through life not feeling like an NPC in someone's scheme to extract money from your pockets.
Seems a bit of a stereotype to assume that every Chinese in China has scored straight A and has a highly educated and well-paid job. Like everywhere some do well in school, some don't. Some have good jobs, some don't.

On average Chinese are poorer than Americans, and many of them are a lot poorer than Americans and live a life that's not so easy.

The fact that people of Chinese descent in the US do better than the local average does not seem relevant.

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

For years, I worked in a fast-growing startup so I'm familiar with scaling patterns for your typical SaaS platform offerings. I'm currently working as a backend engineer in web-based games so I've also had exposure with less-than typical infra architectures.

I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way. I'm also interested in B2C companies where the 'C' is software developers.
Ask HN: Testing Machine Learning Pipelines
I'm looking to learn about best practices for testing in the context of training large machine learning models.

For example, before launching a model to prod, I've commonly seen that teams have a suite of datasets/evals, and a model has to be at least as good as the existing model in production before replacing it.

But what about the training pipelines? You can have unit tests for all the individual components, but the analogy of "integration tests" would involve just training a full model, which might be very expensive for large neural networks.

One option would be to have a special tiny dataset and tiny model that can be trained fast on CPU. But this would be an imperfect test of the real system. I've also never seen this in practice, so maybe it wouldn't actually be useful.

Curious if any practitioners could share their wisdom.

> Do I expect a burger flipper working at a hot grill to be just as safe in hour ten as hour eight or hour six of a given workday? No, I expect that burns, for example, are more likely at the end of long shifts than the beginning

This is completely unrealistic - you clearly have never worked in food service or any sort of low wage customer facing role. There is a rush for each of the 3 meals of the day, and in between your volume is pretty low. And you never work a 10 hour shift, if anything they don't give you enough hours and you work 3-4 hour shifts.

> Then the receptionist can also work four days a week, with someone else filling in, rather than only those less visible

The difference is that the clever people who get their work done in 32 hours are still giving 100% output. The receptionist obviously cannot give 100% output if they are only present for 80% time.

> He reasoned that giving workers two days off instead of just one would enable him to push them harder, and get just as much work done while making happier employees, more loyal to him

No, it was not because they got just as much work done, but because it would reduce turnover [1]. It was a calculated economic decision. And in the real world, corporations have done that analysis and either decided on Ford's approach (as Costco has) or on the minimum pay possible approach (like Walmart). As a worker, you have the choice of going to Costco or Walmart to work.

I'll remind you that factory jobs needed a lot more training than fast food, which meant turnover cost had a real impact for Ford.

> But most businesses in which physical presence for given hours is important already have flexible scheduling to handle days of the week and times of the day at which business is busier.

But each worker still serves X customers per hour and works Y hours per week with flexible scheduling. If you suddenly have 20% fewer hours, then the worker has to get paid 20% less, else the business now pays more for labor. Considering a lot of restaurants operate on razor thin margins, this doesn't work out as well as you think.

The only benefit to the consumer is you can go to a location and see several different car models at the same place. If buying used you need to go to some person's house at a time that works for the seller and then hope the car is insured and if a big purchase price hope that they are not currently driving it so that you can take it to your mechanic to have it checked out.
But other then that the dealerships have no benefits in my opinion. The multi point inspections they do are basically a joke. The person doing it is some 10 month mechanical school graduate tasked with the jobs that don't make the company any money but that they are forced to do like warranty work and inspections. You would be much better off taking it to a mechanic that knows what he is doing and is being paid by you to find issues. I am very thankful I am a backyard mechanic and can buy used with much more confidence then the average buyer. I can also buy cars with known issues and fix them.
The last time I was at a dealership was with a friend and she was so set on a used car from them. I tried to convince her to buy elsewhere but she just had to have it that day. As you can guess they knew this and took advantage of it.

Isn't it more accurate to say the Portuguese can no longer afford to live in Lisbon(or Porto, or some other desirable city)?

If you have a city with X housing units, but 5X people from within the city + all over the country/world want to live there, and for whatever reason no one wants to/can build 4X more housing units, how do you fairly determine who gets to live there and who doesn't?

* Is it fair if you were born in Lisbon you get to keep living in Lisbon?

* Is it fair if people early in their career get to live in Lisbon because it will advance their career much more than if they lived in the countryside?

* Is it fair if a rich person gets to live there because they can pay a lot of money to do so?

Whatever policy is in place, it will be deciding the winners and the losers, or the people who get to live in Lisbon and those who don't.

There’s still sound card with programmable DSP, quite often used to replicate high end effects. They cost a lot - and every plug-in are specialized to a brand. Still quite useful because the quality of those are very high, and don’t impact the recording process.

Or there’s still some “generic” box (I mean that you can program yourself) like the Symbolic Sound Kyma Capybara. They’re quite niche thought, like modular synth.

Reminds me of a time I had to call into support for one of the internet services from AT&T on behalf of a client. I had a cold and my voice was a bit nasally. It routed me through about 10 minutes of automated systems, then after three times of asking me to repeat myself, said sorry and just hung up on me. No way to get to a person by just pressing buttons. I used that as evidence that they needed to change ISPs.
There was a channel, probably about 6 or 7 years ago, where some guy replaced natural sounds with other sounds in a convincing manner (or convincing if you were alien to the real sounds). For instance, in a cooking video you'd hear the sound of grating concrete while slicing a vegetable. It was strangely stimulating.

> Most people who own cars have experienced a big exogenous shock in operating costs due to fuel recently, that would have more than wiped out the average advantage from negotiating.

This is a ... weird way to look at it.

The increase in fuel costs affects you roughly equally whether you negotiated or not - so it's not at all a factor in the decision making process (unless simply not owning a car is an option). I mean, the price of goods went up a lot too due to rising fuel costs, but we don't consider those when buying a car, right?

> The one and only way to save money on cars is to not buy them.

Ah, your reasoning makes sense now. Unfortunately, not buying a car is not an option for many.

> 1% or 2% difference on the nominal purchase price amounts to nothing in the big picture.

I would strongly recommend taking a course (or reading a textbook) on engineering economics. Your way of thinking is precisely what they caution against. If anything, the fact that things have gotten quite expensive makes it more important to cut costs where you can.

I'm not saying that you're necessarily wrong, but there are many different things that could also cause this. Some investigation would be in order before making that claim. (Spotlight indexing via mdworker is the usual first culprit for this kind of behavior, in my experience.)

My last two car purchases were off of Craigslist. So far they have both been good. But I did have to walk away from a few bum deals to get those cars. That said, the last time I tried to use a dealership they weren't exactly honest[1] so it's just part of the process of buying a used car.

[1] They insisted the car was in perfect shape and passed their 87 point inspection even though it was listed as totaled due to flood damage when I ran the Carfax. Plus it had this weird thing where it was listed as garaged in New York but titled in Florida and it seemed like nothing on the report matched up. That and the VIN was obscured by the black goop they used to glue the windshield on when someone replaced it, I had to use the VIN from the door. This was back around 2006-2007, so maybe the situation has improved, but I kind of doubt it.

Women have no idea what a "super swipe" is, or that it costs $2 every time you use one to try to get their attention.

The apps are literally designed to extract money from desperate men.

Tinder specifically should be sued out of existence. It ignores location, will happily tell you your boost has been a "success" without a single match or you'll get a couple from 7,000 miles away. It's outright fraud.

Chinese savings are dumped into housing because the stock market isn't trustworthy there, not because everyone decided housing is the most productive enterprise.

Also, dumping your money into savings accounts is definitely better than dumping it into 30% APR BNPL offers for designer clothing and electronics. Or gas guzzling, expensive SUVs and trucks. Ask yourself why Apple has a 50% market share in the US.

I’m biased towards European cuisine as an ethnic European (English+Polish) but I think every cuisine has their healthy and unhealthy parts. The US, for whatever reason, allows people too easily to avoid the healthy parts.

You shouldn’t eat pie and chips for every meal in the UK. You can also scoff pease pudding, kippers, porridge or mashed turnip to be healthy. Asian food is super popular and available too.

Similarly in Poland you aren’t scarfing down kotlet and szarlotka every day. You have salads, pickles, cabbage rolls and soup to round it all out.

In the US I think it’s considered somewhat normal to live off fried foods, hungry man and hamburgers at least among certain groups. You have interesting healthy cuisine of your own like succotash, collard greens and various squash yet I’m not sure if these are all too popular across the shared US culture.

Also, I think a Pole who didn’t like bigos, or a French person who didn’t like pot au feu would be slightly ashamed to admit it, but in the UK some people seem almost proud that they won’t eat something. Maybe the US is similar there too.
Totally agree. I think the issue here though is not with regulation itself, but with corrupting influence that we as constituents allow to infiltrate our regulatory bodies. I'd hope campaign finance would help solve this issue too – harder to pull a " Greg and Co. gave me $x so I'll appoint Greg jr. to this sweet regulatory position where he will inevitably act in his self-interest" kind of thing if the public has full view of Greg and Co.'s campaign contributions in the first place...
