And yet it turns out the proportion of applicants not qualified was more more than 3 times higher than CK claimed, and their assertions that applicants were pre-approved turned out to be a flat out lie.
It is a matter of affording it, and upgrading from a lesser card. Bitcoin miners bought out all of the GPUs and now that Bitcoin went bust they are selling them cheap on eBay. I am waiting for the next gen GPU to come out before I buy the RTX cards because they will be reduced in price.

$900 is the price for an RTX card, you can buy a good PC system with that money or three video game consoles.
Ask HN: Tracking video player viewer statistics
As part of an embeddable video player I'm starting to build, I need to have some way of keeping track of viewer behavior.

The easy way is to integrate something like Mux (YC Winter 2016). The even easier way is to just use an existing player like video js. But I want to start off by building my own solution.

I have the basic player working (still some race conditions to be resolved), so now I am starting to look at tracking viewing behavior. I need to know things like timestamp till which a viewer has watched the video, at what timestamps they paused/played/forwarded it, when they wanted to seek to an earlier time and rewatch a part of it, etc. etc.

Say I start a timer when the viewer presses play. Then for each (milli)second I can check the timestamp of the video - this will let me track if some parts of the video were replayed or fast forwarded. Whenever the viewer presses play/pause/forward, I record the event. I send this info to the server every 1 or 2 or 5 seconds and do the analytics.

Since I haven't done this sort of thing before, I would love to have some inputs on if this ^ is the right approach.

Does it make sense to treat this data as a timeseries data? If not (even if it is), what else is a good way to organize this data?

I assume something like Cassandra (which I haven't used much) is much better suited for this than Postgres (which I am comfortable with). Is this right?

Lookup t-digests, a streaming algorithm for ecdfs. I’m pretty sure you can do histograms with these as well.
You're describing one of the solutions made by Ironport, "Bonded Sender". Their solutions were sold to Return Path and Cisco later bought them out, presumably with the bonded sended solution still belonging to Return Path? [1,2]

I've never seen discussion of this in the mainstream though... so I'm not sure if it's actually being used or just shelved.

At this point, I think any proprietary they've created is game for usage. But it's very hard to get multiple large organizations to adopt this.

I definitely think it's a solution.

Nobody is discussing the computing performance of calculating those plots. I's taken for granted that you have more than enough resources to do anything you want with the data. If you don't, you are really in the big data region, and you will start to get all kinds of interesting tradeoffs that are completely different from one place to another.

The entire discussion is about the quality of the information the plot communicates to you. Histograms can be completely misleading, CDFs can't. Finding a bucketing so that an histogram communicates the background data is a non-trivial problem, for CDFs, it's not a problem at all.
This sounds like fossil fuel industry propaganda.

> The only path to significantly lower energy prices while maintaining vibrant economies—and unlinking them from Russian oil and natural gas—is to radically increase the production of hydrocarbons.

Funnily enough, I'm actually working on something (a proxy) that turns the Mailgun API into SMTP/Listmonk[0], since I was annoyed that Ghost only allows Mailgun.

There are no "false negatives." The models implemented by the card issuers are the literal source of truth as to whether a consumer does or does not qualify for the card. Anybody who applied and was rejected did not qualify by definition.

My guess is that they aren't profitable at all.
It doesn’t sound like an insurmontable task for such a company.
Yes Vosk will definitely be part of Leon when the focus will be on implementing new voice solutions.
if the company keeps growing revenue ahead of hiring, they'll care more about retaining good people than losing them so they can keep growing. in this scenario, hiring a build engineer to fix CI becomes a reasonable thing to do: there's money, it's not a hard problem, and makes everyone else happier & more productive.

if the company is setting more and more money on fire, it's a dead company walking. you're hoping for an acquisition or exit before the house of cards collapses. in this scenario, instead of repurposing current hires to getting to profitability, a company that keeps hiring is compounding its risk. each new hire eats the runway that much faster and makes everyone's job that much more precarious.

folks are totally free to ignore whether their company is economically viable, and prioritize something like free drinks & CI b/c that makes their week better. but then they shouldn't be surprised when multiple rounds of layoffs happen every few months.

Note: it's totally fine if a company is losing money. but then the question is "how many more years of runway are there with the hiring plan?", and if the answer is 6-12mo... well. A scramble will start where stuff like build times won't matter.

That is not the sort of area I was referring to. This area is served both by electricity and gas stations. And the quote has a reminder that, just as with essential electric devices getting charged, such as an EV, people should keep a full tank of gas.

And I would note that it's far easier to keep a full charge when you do your charging at home than it is when you need to leave the house to prepare and fill up on gas.

Personally I don't go to work to make friends and feel absolutely no need to socialize with co-workers.

I'd rather socialize with my neighbors, actual friends, and family. Which wfh has given me more opportunities for.

Although one way I've managed to make more social connections is by spending more time in my local community. I have a pass to my local co-working space, I infrequently work out of my coffee shop, and I attend local developer meetups. Some of the people I've met through them I often grab a coffee with during the day.
Wow, that 2021 patch is amazing. They address the issue by adding this code:

+ spin_lock(&unix_gc_lock);
+ spin_unlock(&unix_gc_lock);

So they acquire+release a lock without doing anything in between, sort of as a way to introduce a barrier.

I have a vague feeling that if something like this is necessary, there is something odd about the locking model of that code in general. It most likely shows that locking is used in a process centric way, as opposed to data centric.
I have zero debt. Absolutely zero. However, I left the States soon after graduating university, and thus also have (had) no credit history there. Since I've been planning to return soon, I've been trying to build a history, so when the time comes, I can get a mortgage loan.

The process of building a credit history has been enlightening and frustrating. I'm in the tech world, as most people in this forum is as well. I make a pretty decent salary in said tech world. However, I qualify for zero unsecured credit cards. I also don't qualify for any small personal loans. I attempted to get both in order to build a credit history. I mean, I can't even get a personal loan for $500.

Nothing, nada, zilch. All I can do now is get a secured card and hold on to that for some time -- which is what I have been doing for about a year so far.

However, I am constantly, and I mean constantly flooded with emails with special "pre-approved" credit cards and personal loans. I applied for a couple and of course was rejected. Oh, and of course, when you apply for these "pre-approved" offers, they do a credit check, which for some reason has a negative impact on your credit score.

It's insane that we let 3 companies (Equifax, Experian, and Transunion) control so much of our lives, with little insight as to what their scores actually reflect. CreditKarma is just a vehicle within this sector. The entire system is broken and needs a complete overhaul.

Growing pains will be around for decades, unfortunately. Cycling needs to reach a critical mass before cities and regions decide to start de-prioritizing cars to alleviate exactly the issues you have with improved infrastructure. The Netherlands has been working on their infrastructure for over 40 years and keep finding new and unexpected problems that you simply don't discover until you have more bicycles than cars, like parking (when you start down this path you just imagine putting posts everywhere for people to lock up to, eventually you need dedicated parking facilities just to keep bikes from littering the streets like cars already do)!

We'll get there someday, every great journey begins with the first step, so until we catch up I wouldn't fault you for continuing to take a travel lane.
> Credit Karma has a platform for running models against their dataset, and appears to buy everyone's daily data from Equifax

There are a lot of people doing this. For the aforementioned reason: a cheap approximation of a credit score is valuable. Before the financial crisis, VantageScore was developed by the credit bureaus to disintermediate Fair Isaac. This work continues, and Credit Karma is far from unique in its approach or data.

I started with a blank credit folio late in life. This was not my experience. It may make sense for you to speak to your bank or to a financial advisor.
Zoom happy hours feel more like forced social interactions. Similar to daily stand-ups, but they go around asking how your day was and what you did in your day. And you have to share that with everyone on the call instead of the group you normally talk to in person only.
Working from home made me realize how good the office is for socializing BUT...
WFH let me move states to one of the biggest cities in the country and my social life has absolutely thrived, so I'm not too fussed.

My social connection with my coworkers has lowered, but I don't mind, because that's not why I work, and I've fostered a lot of social connections outside of work due to my move to full remote.

Yep 100% agreed.

This said, for many people with jobs/kids/other commitments, regular workout is more of an exercise in scheduling than willpower. For that, the only advice I could offer is to use the mornings, and be done before anyone else in the house realises.

I'm afraid a lot _might_ have to do with my registered address (zip code) in the States, when I try to apply. Inner city and all that.

Edit: The rejection note that I normally receive is: insufficient credit history.

To me it's a catch-22 situation. It always boggles my mind when I see 20 somethings with 10s of thousands of dollars in credit card and loan debt, while I can't even get in the door. Not saying I plan on having any debt, just that I would like the opportunity to receive a loan when I want it.
I assume you never actually built any cloud infrastructure yourself. Plus Tesla (aka) Elon, well, say a lot of stuff, not always necessarily correct.

Internal research product is super far from any actual production usage. Especially if you go against some established paradigms, that require enormous amount of effort (more than developing silicon) to build tolling around, so people can design, program, debug, monitor it.

But that’s internal usage. Cloud is a totally different ballgame. You have to deal with thousands more requirements (and you cannot generally tell customer to do something else instead, as you can with internal teams). And customers that have operating procedures totally different from yours, 0 access to your internal knowledge and infinite less tolerance for BS answers (as you are paying customer, not a someone on the same boat).

Building cloud is extremely hard, and there’s a reason why Google is still losing money on it.

Plus, let’s even say that your 5 year estimate is correct, Dojo is amazing and the future of tech and they may have viable product by then. Do you think that Nvidia wont advance their AI offering by then? Google TPU will stop being developed? Or will Tesla continue investing to churn new generation of Dojo every year?
As an eng mgr of a fully remote team, I do not agree with your assertion that "relationships cannot be made via zoom." Of the sixteen people I work closely with, I have met fewer than half in person, including a similar fraction of the engineers reporting to me. I seek to balance the lack of in-person interactions by leaning heavily into interest, compassion, and vulnerability. I take time in my 1:1s to ask about folks' lives, making sure to remember past details they have shared and to make it clear that I am generally interested in everything they have to share about themselves. But I think more importantly, I am conscientiously more vulnerable in my own sharing with those who take an interest than I might be otherwise. I put a little extra effort into "broadcasting" my interest in my colleagues as humans to make sure some of that truth makes it over the wire. The result is that I have very real human connections with nearly all of them, and the engineers on my team have stuck with me through some crazy s** that I don't think they all would have had it not been for those connections.

It's easy to get into a work mindset when using work tools. That can in turn cause us to skip those human interactions such as more personal conversations that might usually happen at lunch or whatever. Taking the time to elicit them, where natural, without the natural cues is hugely important. I have honestly never felt more connected with a team than I do with my current one, which was formed almost entirely post-pandemic. Hell, folks were building real human relationships with just pen and paper for ages not long ago. It can absolutely be done.
He is impersonating one party and telling you how that person will clearly get a false signal from your actions. What do you expect him to do? To tell the party that isn't part of the conversation how to improve?
