I don't think that will happen. ML is overhyped and accuracy is going to be more important as everything gets smaller, faster, better. Infact I hope for the opposite: I think with the increase in software domination, "brute forcing" it (or with a ML black-box) won't do, and a calculated system is going to be needed.

Time to market is always important, I think calculating mathematical models might work out quicker than trying to shove ML on it? Our tools for making math models will improve.

Well.

I would never go near an absolute position that X cues cancer. GP is reductionist to an infantile level.

But - every cancer is different, every individual is different. One person loses weight by cutting calories, another starves herself to no effect but loses weight when switching to a high-fat diet.

I'm fine with the idea that some people might go into remission after a few long fasts. My objection to GP is not the hypothesis, merely the ringing of the bell.
> Why deny his experience, though?

Because it was an option.

He treated it like poverty tourism, like a middle-class youth group "missions trip" to build huts for third-world natives.

Good on him for having an epiphany, but I'd wager that he'd have a different perspective if he had to do that job long past his soft-handed tendonitis episode in order to feed his family that he barely mentioned in his interview.

Imagine having built so small of a life for yourself and your family that in order to get a reality check, you have to check yourself in to rehab with the "common folk" in order to rescue yourself from your "depression".

It's lamentable, not commendable. It has all happened before, and it will happen again.

This is not a salvation story; it is a cautionary tale. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

There were plenty of people AT THE TIME talking about the hubris of the gaming media in thinking they could attack their audience. They did it anyway.

so now we're seeing people talking about how the reason gaming journalism is in a race to the bottom is that their audience doesn't trust them and trust is the only real value they had so they're being squeezed from the top and bottom.

Good question. There's nothing in-place as of yet, but I am thinking a mix of an upfront fee to onboard a brand/retailer, plus a commission on each sale that uses the sizing tool.
There are likely many ways of doing these things, but here is my vague recollection from the time when I worked on a C++ in-memory database. We used tree transformations for query planner/optimizer. The evaluator was implemented as a virtual interface that had a lot of complexity, but on most basic level it took some parameters and returned rows of data.

Optimizer/query planner worked by parsing the query as a tree of operations and then finding tree transformations which are equivalent. Most basically this involved swapping table join orders and trading between materializing and streaming operators(^0). Costing was based on histograms data histograms which essentially enabled estimating how many rows each node in the query tree is expected to return. Generally you want to reduce the number of rows you are materializing ASAP. This generally means joining tables with fewest rows first, because then you can efficiently scan larger tables. Default strategy for joining large tables was to scan smaller one and build a map of the values and then scan the other one checking the map for each record. An alternative strategy is to build a bloom filter instead of the map, but that is only more efficient if the cross-section of the join is small.

Virtual execute evaluate interface enabled a lot of custom execution strategies for selecting from row/column/external db based tables, sorting data, and tons of join strategies.

Note 0: The constraint with streaming operators is that you can't fully sort the data before next step is executed. This prohibits execution strategies such as efficient joins which require all data to be sorted.

NPR's "Planet Money" does an outstanding job in explaining economics and finance in general. The podcast has been around for years so you can listen to past episodes until you get sick of it. I don't know the number but they have to be in the hundreds.

To get a bit of background here's a book that's fun to read. It doesn't get too deep in the weeds. It gives you just enough info to be dangerous.

"New Ideas from Dead Economists by Todd G. Buchholz"

Also, "The Ascent of Money - Financial History of the World
by Niall Ferguson" is a great read as away to get some historical background on how our financial system came to be. Little to no jargon so it's a fast and entertaining read.

Not an economics' book but a view into how our factory based food system works. I think it's worth reading as a way to understand our Economy's food factories.

Using accounts as the security boundary is easier to reason about up front but it's rather ham fisted. If you're centrally automating large swaths of infrastructure across many accounts you'll wind up paying for that in the long run.

When a shop smaller, or dealing with multi-tenancy situations, multiple accounts is an easy trade off to make. The account boundary has its place, but it's not for everything.

Some of these scaling pains with hard boundaries have gotten better with awssso and iam features over the years but you still run into them on occasion.

As far as whatever you mean by "breaking into an account". I said originally, "rbac/iam properly implemented". If you fuck that up, it doesn't matter whether or not you have one or multiple accounts.

Having a single account does mean that you have to give anyone the keys to the kingdom or that you don't separate your concerns.
It may be an oversimplification but it seems like it might be challenging to classify how long someone intends to drive. Someone might drive for 6 months and leave because they were able to find full time work. I'm inclined to say that's a success and was something they were able to quickly and easily start doing while they were looking for someone else. Maybe someone else drives nights and weekends to save up for a wedding or some other one off expense and then quits. That's probably also considered a success. Simply looking at average length of work doesn't really tell us what their intent was.

I bring up the surprising number of multi year drivers because if you believe what you read online, you'd imagine that Uber is stealing from people who don't understand what depreciation is and that no one could still be doing it on their second or third vehicle. That appears not to be the case and there are numerous counter examples that disprove it. That doesn't seem to stop people from still arguing that Uber is somehow exploiting everyone.
Yeah, your writing sounds eastern European, if you know what I mean (no offense).

You’re right about the American hospital, generally and for now. They have better resources, equipment, and are cleaner, among many other things. You have more rights in an American hospital (no bribe expected).

But, a country like the United States could learn from a country like Croatia and make the best out of its resources. The US could spend the same on healthcare without taking away resources from the general American populace (minus oligarchs) and allow people to be so much more healthier.
There's a quote along the lines of "an intellectual is someone who has discovered something more interesting than sex". I don't think asexuality is that relevant here, it's likely just that people have other interests and are not browsing HN for sexual gratification. Even in articles explicitly about pornography, the tech implications are generally more interesting (imo) - if you're interested in nudity, that's easy to find. None of that has anything to do with being asexual, but maybe it means people here are less likely to have a one track mind

I have to question the figure. There is food, and there is food. Wasting a pound of grain is much less of an issue than wasting a pound of beef. I suspect most of the wastage is in the lower value materials (obviously, there is less penalty to wasting them). And I suspect it doesn't include the stuff going to feed animals, which I suspect is used more efficiently (because it is simpler and those eating it cannot complain.)

Does this address the various costs of replacing the existing heating systems which run on gas in some form? Is it possible to retrofit these to burn H2 - if so, it would be far less of an impact that ripping them all out to replace them with heat pumps. And, of course, you need environment-friendly refrigerant in said heat pumps.

BindiMaps | iOS, Android, Web Developers | REMOTE (in Australia) or ONSITE in Melbourne or Sydney | Full-time

BindiMaps is an early-stage, funded startup that aims to make indoor spaces accessible for everyone, with an initial focus on vision impaired and neurodivergent individuals.

Our mobile applications run our localisation algorithms to accurately locate users within large indoor spaces, and then guide them to their destination with friendly turn-by-turn directions.

There's also a set of complex web applications that allow us to set up locations, run simulations to verify and debug algorithm performance, and we have client-facing mapping and reporting applications too.

The backend stack runs on GCP, and the web applications primarily use Typescript, React, Docker, and Node, with a bit of Python and Kotlin for some of the algorithm work.

We are hiring to keep up with our rapid growth, and to make our next big push: a camera-based localisation system capable of sub-meter accuracy, and the AR experiences this technology enables. Our current efforts in this area have delivered great results, so we think it's the right time to grow the team.

We are hiring for iOS, Android, and web developer positions[0]. I'm one of the engineers on the team and after a few years I can say it's a great place to work. Very competitive salaries, flexibility on where you work (I work remotely but we have offices in Melbourne and Sydney), and a really solid product. There's a very flat org structure, and management trusts the tech team to make the right long-term decisions.

If you'd like to work on a product that provides meaningful social impact as well as real technical challenges, you can apply at [1]. Make sure to mention you're from HN.

"mission trips" are not real poverty tourism though. Kids don't go live in real poverty on those trips. They live in hotels, eat prepared food, so on.

Your frustration with the pace of cancer research is valid and there is a long history of people sharing this sentiment. Since the start of the “War on Cancer”, scientists, clinicians, and patients have been torn between the sometimes opposing forces of knowledge and the urgent need for treatments. I recommend “the emperor of all maladies” by siddhartha mukherjee for a historical perspective on cancer.

However, the solutions are not as simple as you propose. There are a staggering number of experimental modalities used to investigate cancer. We sequence tens of thousands of tumors, many of which are available in public datasets. Digital pathology, single cell methods, spatial methods, etc. Large scale EHR management is a controversial issue in its own right, as is the question of breakthrough experimental therapies.

Cancer is just a very difficult problem with many facets.
Canadian mining companies are basically the worst of the worst. Completely psychopathic behavior, at least from what I know about their operations in the African continent. Not that canadians care, because it's far away and we just don't like talking about resource extraction in general.

You said it: Socially expected. They're failing to complete the loop because they're schizoid and social rewards aren't inherently motivating.

How do ADHD people act when their attention breaks? It's in the same ways Millon described. If you look at a schizoid person you can say that's the person and they have a masked state. Or you can see them as an ADHD person that has a checked-out state. But you're describing the same condition and the same person.

The ADHD approach is to medicate the patient so they can maintain the masked state for more of their waking hours. And avoid that terrible checked-out state! Except that's their real, schizoid personality. It's just less socially acceptable than the mask.

I didn't say it was a disorder of obsession. That's just their only tool for doing focused work if they don't have pills. If anything they struggle with maintaining obsessions. I'm familiar with schizotypal PD too and not accidentally talking about something else.
