>Considering that online dating is the most common method used to find a date these days, the options are grim for men who are not in the top 5% of attractiveness if they use these online platforms.

I'm in the top 5% of attractiveness IRL and tinder was bizarre to try and use. It was this weird self referential world where you needed a completely new set of skills to be noticed. I was reminded of trying to learn how to write an effective resume after university.

When I had a woman make my tinder profile attractive to other women I just deleted it: the type of woman who would find that appealing is not the type of woman I would find appealing.

To follow on, typically proteins produced this way have a tag, or handle, to specifically pull it out from all the other proteins. A typica tag is 6 x Histidine amino acids at the beginning of the protein. These histidines bind to nickel, which is immobilized on a resin. You can use antibodies against the 6xHis to Western for your protein of desire without needing a protein specific antibody.

One of the best things I did was read a memoir from a US president who I didn't vote for (and generally didn't approve of.)

Nothing "changed my mind," but it was very useful to understand the his point of view. Turns out this politician cared very deeply about issues that I really care about, and if the side that I normally support was willing to cooperate, we could have moved more quickly on these issues.

> ? You do not end up killing millions of peoples without systemic targetting and industrialized organisation.

No, they do. That's how any war runs. Countries don't start wars with plans on for wiping out the citizens in the most efficient way.
If a massacre happens, then it's something more spontaneous, happening on the spot.

> The fact that it might be called genocide or democide or something else is semantic ...

No, it's a significant difference in intention and execution. Germany had an elaborated logistic for transporting their victims through the country and continent. They had death camps with full planning on how to kill people. They even started the war with the side-intention to "cleaning the world".

Japan, like every other invader did nothing like this. They started wars and accepted that people will die, but this was not their goal. And neither were the massacres and other crimes their goal, it just something that happened along the way.

> Anyway my point (albeit unclear) was more that you are arguing the premise of the parent post : "Germany and Japan committed roughly equivalent atrocities" which I believe is quite difficult and in a way reinforce the parent since he appears to believe there is a systemic diabolisation of the Nazi as way to target by proxy the white (anyway that's how I interpret: "great punching bags by proxy for what the what the author really wants to say")

Sure, but your reasoning is wrong. Japan did bad things, but they are just one of many evil empires in history. It's not exceptional unique in what they did. But the Nazis were unique and exceptional. That's where your argument fails. Japan is just one of many, and people denounce those many equally, more or less. But there was just one event on the scale of the Nazi-Crimes.
Have you tried out io_uring? My impression is that these Rust libs end up making different syscalls that are less great.
> I don't know if this applies to this specific course, but there are a bunch of those out there, and highly recommend staying away from those.

fast.ai do stuff pretty well. FWIW, I did one of their earlier free courses and, as a maths grad, got my fill of maths learning as well as my fill of practical 'doing stuff with ML' stuff. If I didn't have my plate full I'd probably pay the 500 quid or whatever to do this course now rather than wait for the free version.
Yeah, when Rust beginners (like me!) think "types of string" I think it's more likely to be &str (and its lifetime variants), String and Vec<u8>. I've gotten pretty far as a beginner by sticking to over-copying with just String, but eventually I think I'll have to figure out what works best for perf.

I definitely did that. Just in reading this guy I realize I'm trying to logical address arguments I know will come.

Don't know that it's actually due to HN feedback or just knowing how internet discussions tend to go.
My problem is that I can pretty much paste my response word-for-word and it still applies just as well here, which really means you haven't updated your take to account for it at all. That's just not interesting.

That said, it's still a new feature. I'm sorry I don't have the NSA spokesperson here to say that they are going to pack it up and go home now because iPhones are unhackable, since that's the only thing you are willing to accept. To be entirely honest I am not even willing to hide my disdain for the certification you've repeatedly brought up at this point beyond it being a set of good practices. Like, the Titan M2 chip was assessed at AVA_VAN.5 it got exploited last month because it was written in a bunch of C and deployed without layout randomization or attempts at CFI. I trust the words of hackers (of particular renown, mind you!) and their analysis of how strong the mitigations actually are over some certification person just looking at the system and trying to take a guess as to how it'd hold out.
For those who don't know, Druckenmiller is also very well known for changing his mind the minute facts change which is one of the hallmarks of good trading.

It seems to me that your problem was with your own feeling toward the list - “I felt proud about my list” - and not the list itself. Where does that feeling come from? It might be worth exploring.

I was a bit confused too but the book by O'Reilly is about hunting Nazis after WW2 (apparently he has a whole series), Scarborough's is about the Truman Doctrine and how it shaped US foreign policy (problematic but hardly Republican propaganda), and Rand, well he reads a fuck ton of classics.

As another commenter pointed out: you authorize the executor of the script, not the script itself.

Consider how an AWS instance runs code that is able to ... talk back to the rest of the AWS system.

For code that is not being directly run by a tethered meatball, use some form of workload identity [1].

When you are talking to another system that that can't understand your workload identity (legacy apis, etc.), keep those credentials in a tool like Vault[2], Secret Manager[3], etc. That system can/should handle credential rotation wherever possible, but it also ensures that the workload running the script is authorized to access the credentials in question. This is far superior to passing via env vars, but even that is better than hard-coding in the script itself. Oh, and using a memory-backed mount that contains those vars is better than env vars because there's less risk of leaking those when you fork.

Key points:

- externalize all secrets

- prefer workload identity

- prefer a workload identity aware secret store / manager

- fall back to fs mounted secrets and then env vars

keep fighting the good fight, hacker news is full of indentured solipsists.
32bit FLOAT is 24 bits of audio data, and has the unique advantage of being the typical internal processing format of plugins and audio workstations, due to the desire for headroom while processing to avoid artifacts from overflows of various kinds, among other things. (Upsampling is also common before performing calculations that may alias or mirror.)

The stacked ADC approach does allow for a wider overall dynamic range, but I would be skeptical of the physical transducers capabilities in using it all, but the 32-but float format here appears to be largely about lossless transfer to a DAW such that further processing is lossless, as we are not converting from int to float and back.

This format could then be said to be useful as a master media format.

The article in the OP is about a flac containing a 32-bit int audio stream, however, which appears less useful and not at all related to 32-bit float
Really. At this point legislature is the only way out.

> What does it help to build solar power plants only to use up all of that capacity on useless computations?

> All else being equal, building solar panels is a negative; producing and transporting solar panels consumes materials and produces CO2. The reason building solar power plants is usually good is that they reduce the need for even worse forms of energy production. If you build a solar farm, just to waste all or most of the energy it generates, what you have done is a net negative for the environment.

I agree with this in the short term, but my argument is more about economies of scale: The more people want large amounts of solar, the better companies get at producing it and the cheaper it gets. Because of that cheapness fossil fuels could be taken off the table completely resulting in a short-term downside (losing resources and producing CO2 for unnecessary computations), but a long-term win (a world free from fossil fuels)

> This is in addition to the fact that a whole lot of mining uses existing infrastructure, which negates the gains from building out clean energy and keeps demand high enough to require dirty energy, as /u/oofbey covered.

Fair. Just because miners in general are ravenous for solar does not mean that all individual miners are able or willing to use solar “off the grid”. I’m not saying it’s perfect or that PoW is the right direction, I’m only pointing out that it’s not the absolute evil that it’s been painted as.
Ask HN: Why is Spotify playing so many covers?
Over the past few months I’ve noticed Spotify’s algorithm playing more and more covers, especially on my Discover Weekly playlist. I first noticed it with a bad “Harvest Moon” version the week after Neil Young pulled his catalog. Since then the volume of covers has increased substantially, a mix of straight covers and instrumental or jazz renditions of indie/rock songs. A couple weeks ago it got to the point where my Discover Weekly played 6 covers in a row.

Is this intentional on Spotify’s part? Do these covers have cheaper royalties than the originals? Have I somehow trained their model to think this is what I love? Does not skipping songs tagged as covers quickly enough train the model to think I like them? Maybe because I listen to lots of rock, jazz and classical the algorithm thinks a jazz interpretation of “Iron Man” is what I love? It feels like if you “over trained” and ruined a good Pandora station way back when.

Spotify used to be an excellent source for music discovery but these covers are straight up aggravating. Between this and their hostile UI changes pushing podcasts (I will never use Spotify for podcasts) I’m becoming motivated to jump ship.

The RP2040 is an example of a "microcontroller", a low-power processor with onboard program storage (typically Flash these days), and a bunch of handy peripherals (UART, I2C, PWM etc.) in a single small package. This is a modern type with 32 bit ARM processor but microcontrollers have been used by the millions, for decades(!) in consumer products, automotive hardware, etc. Not too many 8 bit machines used by hobbyists today, but 8051 and PIC and AVR live on in numerous product lines.

The RP2040 is definitely not pioneering here. More of a well-marketed "me too" device IMHO.

FPGAs, on the other hand, have always been for specialized applications. High speed signal processing for imaging, sonar, or radar. Boundary-pushing network interface design. That kind of thing. They use a ton of power and developers are hard to find.
It’s almost as if anyone with the actual ability to predict a market movement has a disincentive to talk about it in public.

No worries, I just was kinda stunned you would imply I had any motive to not share something accurate. It was a convo I had this morning with an author who is a friend.

(It it is just one piece of data, and people are good at finding data that supports their viewpoint of course. Given all the scandals FB is under and problems on this thread, I do think it supports a narrative of FB having massive problems around ethics and moral actions.)

Here is a fun story :)

I have an ad account at FB for a company I closed in early 2020 due to Covid.

I wanted to delete the account, but FB makes it impossible to do that. I message their support and they tell me they can remove it, but they need my ID and a handwritten letter. I am stunned. A handwritten letter??? How does that achieve anything :)

So I write out a short note with a bit of snark about a tech company needing a handwritten letter, take a picture and send it to their support chat/ticket along with my ID. They do not like that I was snarky and refuse to do anything, even after I remove some of my snark and resend it.

Thus, I still have the account and 14 support replies later they still refuse to help me.

(note, they didn't want a letter send to them via the post office, they literally wanted me to write it and send it to them. So weird...)
It is free to do that, but if it decides it wants to kick customers out immediately without explanation, we are free to tell one another and use a different provider. That is the point we're discussing, whether the dev community can still consider Stripe reliable and professional.

>> But if you want to truly understand how these models work, you need to make effort to study the basics.

I was very confused by this in the beginning of my journey. I was trying to learn everything involved with ML/DL, but in the end everything is already implemented with APIs, and your boss doesnt care if you know how to implement a MLP from scratch or if you use Tensorflow.

My (poor) analogy is: you don't need to know how a car works (or how to build one) in every detail to drive it. When I understood it, it was liberating.
They are all priced for perfection. Meaning priced for complete replacement of the legacy financial system. If it happens you get to keep your money, if it doesn't you lose them all.

You can't make money by betting on something with a valuation of 800bn which is the cryptospace.

The cryptospace as a whole you cannot make money from anymore, the only thing you can make money from is betting that the marketcap of old coins such as BTC will flow into new coins such as ETH.

But that if you are gonna do that, then it's better to just do it on the stock market, by betting on new companies replacing old companies and taking their marketcap

I use Arq with AWS Deep Archive as my off-site. Seems to work well, though admittedly I haven't tested the recovery/retrieval yet.
I often hear on places like here that Scott Alexander is interesting and deep and insightful. But then I see bits and pieces like this. This blogger doesn't need to go into some deep analysis of compositionality to go "You came up with a 5 question test and decided 1 answer out of 10 attempts would be a pass". We've gone from 90%+s in imagenet to this as a pass mark?

It's like sure we can dissect all the statistical risks of this, but why bother? It's self evident bullshit. You might as well have just posted a link to Scott Alexander's original blog claiming victory with just "Lol ok".

Just post a screenshot of the phrase "An oil painting of a robot in a factory looking at a cat wearing a top hat", show the pictures of a robot near a cat that has a top hat, not in a warehouse, and say "lol ok."
Why so harsh with the poor guy ? He just followed best practices from the industry and let the customer test it.
"There’s a high probability in my mind that the market, at best, is going to be kind of flat for 10 years, sort of like this ’66 to ’82 time period"

From another article on '66-'82:

> The Dow went sideways, but the S&P actually earned a respectable 6.8% return in that time.

6.8% is hardly apocalyptic. The S&P 500 usually averages 10% over long timescales.

His former hedge fund also delivered an annual average rate of return of 30% from 1986 to 2010. What an absolute unit.
> “There’s a high probability in my mind that the market, at best, is going to be kind of flat for 10 years, sort of like this ’66 to ’82 time period,” he said in an interview with Alex Karp, CEO of software and A.I. firm Palantir.

Adjusting for inflation, the stock market was not "flat" during this period [0]. The DJIA, for example, closed at an effective price of 9,160.41 in January 1966 and closed at an effective price of 3,176.25 in December 1982. That's a 65% drop, which is a pretty big stretch to call "flat".
