When you plot "all months" you get a very noisy graph which is hard to visually discern any patterns, I guess it's why you say it is "flat". We can't really eyeball trends like that. However despite the noise you can still see that USCRN generally agrees with the ClimDiv. You dedicated most of your post to painting ClimDiv as a fatally flawed network of weather stations which didn't ever get fixed. But it's returning the same kind of results as the new one, so ...

> I think you've been left behind by recent changes

No. There may be people like you who exist outside academia, but still take an interest into networks of weather stations and the like, but the vast majority of climate change deniers takes are along the lines I described - "it's snowing, ergo suck it libs"

This may sound dismissive, but "look at this graph of this measurement you never think about but ignore this dataset, ok and only look at these years, ok now squint your eyes... does THAT look like climate change!?" feels like you're trying to dupe me, not convince me. Combined with the vaguely anti-science conspiratorial tone ("don't believe the scientists, they seem to care, believe me!" - um no?) and allusions to shenanigans over COVID... I'm afraid that I'm not on board.
Ask HN: What technology evolutions were brought about in the fall of the USSR?
“Frontier technologies such as AI or ML are hard to get into if you’re not already sitting on a pile of data and cash. End users are accustomed to everything being free or cheap, sustained by a decade of advertising-based business models." Alex Suzuki
The document discusses a monolith real-time recommendation system with collisionless embedding table. The system is designed to provide personalized content for each individual user in real-time. The data for recommendation mostly contain sparse categorical features, some of which appear with low frequency.

A collisionless embedding table is a type of data structure that is used to store information in a way that minimizes the chances of two pieces of information colliding or conflicting with each other. This is often done by using a hashing algorithm to map data to specific locations in the table, which reduces the likelihood of two pieces of data being stored in the same location.

Embeddings are a way of representing data in a lower-dimensional space. In this case, the embedding is used to represent the data from the user's interactions. This can be used to make predictions about relationships between vectors.

The advantage of storing the dot products of the embeddings would be that it would allow for a more efficient calculation of the similarity between two vectors. Dot products are a measure of how similar two vectors are, so by storing the dot products of the embeddings, it would be possible to quickly calculate the similarity between any two vectors. This would be especially useful in a recommendation system, where it is often necessary to calculate the similarity between a user's vector and a large number of other vectors in order to find the most similar items.
> Where I come from, truck drivers own their own trucks and are pretty happy about them

And you're free to write your own software in whatever way you want. But when you're working for a business, the end goal of your code is to create value, not to brag to your friends about fancy dependency injection framework that you used.

> I'll just move somewhere else where these instant gratification, feature oriented "minimalist software engineers" are challenged

It's not about instant gratification, it's about building business that can survive in the market. Creating as much value as possible with as little cost and risk as possible, long enough to survive and become profitable.

In fact, it is very far from instant gratification: I have a list of 100 items I personally want to do, and I only get to work on 10-20 of those. But today I'm mature enough to realize that my personal wants can be at odds with business needs.

An old favorite of mine is the exception message "God Damned Exception" [0]

I stumbled across it in 2007, the day after Windows Vista was released. I installed Windows Vista, and the first thing that I installed was Notepad++. Shortly thereafter, I got a popup "God Damned Exception", but it wasn't immediately clear what application was raising it. I thought it was humorous to entertain the possibility that Vista had been released with this oversight. But... notepad++ was the only thing installed that was not Vanilla out-of-the-box Vista, so I searched through the notepad++ source to find/confirm it. It's been a favorite of mine ever since.

Mandarin beginner here. On #2, my pet theory is that it's easier to disambiguate zǒulù than just zǒu in the spoken language. My teacher often says "word's character" (e.g. yī de yīshēng, 醫的醫生, probably bad example and/or just wrong, to distinguish from other characters that sound like 醫). I once calculated that there are only about 600 different sounds in Mandarin -- not many more than toki pona! -- so if you tend to pair sounds into concepts, that's a much richer pool to draw from.
We've done some battery work a couple of months ago and since then I've not really had any complaints from the thousands of users, so I think overall it's working.

Yeah, for sure and containers are great. Namespaces, cgroups v2, runC, overlayfs, the OCI image format, and everything else in this space is impressive engineering. It’s incredible forward progress we can all take advantage of. But it's fun to peal back the layers and see it’s a long series of progressive refinements.
I hope so, but is this true in the worst scenario too ? I read the news that reserves are full in EU but I did not seen anyone calculating how much would does work if there will be an exceptional cold winter. I know that Romania would have enough for a normal winter and probably enough for Moldova too, but with climate change we could get some very cold weeks ,so I prefer not to gloat until the winter is gone and we all figureout how to survive the next winter.

For what it's worth, I have a python background and Sonic Pi was my introduction to Ruby too. It does feel a bit weird but the built in tutorials are really quite good. You can get pretty far just copying and pasting samples. Play around until bits of it start to make sense.

If you just don't want to mess with Ruby, there are python libraries for supercollider (the same backend that Sonic Pi is using). The only gotcha is I think a lot of the value of Sonic Pi comes from the built in samples and synths.

> As we said before, installing the hardware automatically enables higher quality physics. We can't get a good idea of how much better the PhysX hardware would perform than the CPU, but we can see a couple facts very clearly.

So what you call a scam is down to implementation details. In a true like for like scenario the PPU would usually outperform the CPU implementation as long as your sync boundaries were clean to get stuff back from it, and pipe the transforms back to the GPU.

I wish people like yourself wouldn’t reach for incendiary language by default.

I was coming up to a non-intersection crosswalk slowly because there isn’t great line of sight to people approaching. I had a cyclist almost flip over because they panicked when trying to ride a bike (without stopping or anything) through that crosswalk. Then they were pissed at me, even after I stopped to let them across (I mean they were already in the middle of the lane anyways).

Stupid? Yes. Illegal? Yes. Did they learn anything? Probably not, based on their reaction.
I don't know what it's like where you live, but in Berkeley, CA you are more likely to be hit by a meteor than see a driver make a full and complete stop at a stop sign in the absence contention from another car. Cars, for the most part, roll right through a stop sign at the same speed that a bicyclist would. The difference is it seems superficially as if the driver slowed when they were speeding at 40 in a 25, slowed to 5-10 for the intersection, and then blew through the sign. Whereas a bicyclists who just proceeds at a steady 8 MPH through an intersection will leave nearby drivers foaming at the mouth.
That is not entirely true. According to Ukrainian sources (Kiev Independent) there were at least 2 high profile incidents. 1 - US supplied weapons popping up in Finland, 2 - someone tried to ship a helicopter out of Odesa. But this is not what I am saying at all. How would you even know how funds are being used? A manufacturer can hike prices of say ammo 10x, and as result Ukraine would get 10x less of it
Our brains bounce around in time constantly. Every time your eyes microsaccade, your brain is filling in the gaps after the fact with the best guess at what you were looking at, hence why periodic movements can be "elongated" when you first look at them (look at a clock and the second hand lingers a bit long for the first second).

Our brains absolutely do not need to process things in chronological order, but it seems we have evolved for our egos to believe we do, for evolutionary advantage (although, in the last few thousand years we've been doing everything we can to do an end run around that).
> This is not a good example, as Rust does not build on C++, it simply replaces it as the foundation.

I was listening to his other series about the Mongols, and in the first episode, he talks about how over time, great figures become revered and their atrocities lessened. For example, Genghis Khan killed 20-50 million people, which would be insane to think about today (and any leader who did so would be vilified, like Hitler) but because he is so removed from today, people think what he did was Great. So too with Alexander.

For those who bring up the positive effects of such a figure (Alexander spread Hellenism, Genghis created the Pax Mongolica), Carlin said that these were not intended by such figures but simply happened as a result of their statecraft. Alexander for example did not expressly conquer peoples in order to spread Hellenism, he did so because he was expected to as being the son of a king.

People simply have a recency bias as a default cognitive effect. One day, Carlin says, someone will also write about the positive effects of the Third Reich, just as they write about Alexander and Genghis, once all the people who might have been affected have died off.

Odds are the person you are talking to have tried several dozens of things, 2/3 of what they don't even remember anymore.

Asking "what have you tried" is very often an unprofessional display of power disguised as a time-waster question. The one exception when the person answering has not had time to try several dozen options.
You can do the same thing with apps though too. So what's the benefit of moving to web in this case?

what is the warehouse actually trying to pencil in?

Wow! Great question!

This tells me that the root problem here is that development was done before analysis. Broken process. Often broken results. And most certainly broken management.

OP is nitpicking semantics while unsupported is identifying something so much larger: an opportunity to avoid OP's conundrum by doing things right in the first place.

Best wishes, unsupported. I hope you get an opportunity to build what was actually needed in the first place (and may deliver results orders of magnitude higher). But somehow I get the feeling you'll end up just giving them work-around landscape and move on. We've all been there.

Incorrect. Please have a look at OpenCombine sources, or, say, at the Typestate Pattern in Rust:

"Typestates are a technique for moving properties of state (the dynamic information a program is processing) into the type level (the static world that the compiler can check ahead-of-time)."

If the black hole forms separately and then captures a star with an orbiting planet into an orbit, why could the planet not continue to just orbit the orbiting star? Wouldn't this be like a planet orbiting a binary star? There will be exceptional cases but it's not clear to me that the planet has to be consumed by the black hole without consuming the star.
I'm pretty well known in my local community (and here) as a strong advocate for pedestrians and thus often a critic of cyclists, but even I support the Idaho stop as long as that's really what it is.

> What's interesting to me is that cyclist injuries went down after these laws were passed.

The study[1] where they stated that said it only decreased in the year after the law was passed. They didn't check what happened in subsequent years.

> At least according to the wiki. Naively, I would think they'd go up, or stay level. Do you have any hypothesis for why that may be?

The study they used to justify that conclusion compared two cities in two different states in different parts of the US. They didn't have before and after data after the law was enacted to make a direct comparison (since the law was enacted in the early 1980s). In my opinion, the study doesn't really support the conclusion that not coming to a full stop is safer. It would have been better had the study compared multiple locations with similar characteristics over the same time period.

No, because your Nginx server decrypts that TLS connection so can access the plaintext data. This is typically called encrypted-in-transit.

E2EE means that it's always encrypted from the sending device to the receiving device and nothing in the middle (including the service operator) can read it.
It will and there is a very simple reason it is going to happen.

These products are built purely on trust. These things do not have any innate value. More than that, there is nobody that can be trusted that guarantees the value of it.

Now think about long term stability of something that has value built purely on sentiment and the sentiment changes over time in waves thanks to globalisation.

It is just a matter of time until people, for one reason or another, will get themselves into a spiral where the thing losing value will cause people to loose more trust, causing the value to drop. And there is nothing to stop it except large institutions that have power to manipulate market (if you remember Game Stop saga you know what I mean).

A normal, tangible thing like a company that is profitable and has some future will see ups and downs as the sentiment changes, but the shares will always have some value because not all investors are completely irrational and some investors can calculate the value and at some point will say "Fuck all those people selling it, I think they are all mistaken because I can actually calculate the value of it and the shares are now cheaper than they should be so I am buying".

This should be enough for the instrument to weather even very negative but temporary sentiment.

But this is not true for crypto. Crypto does not have innate value and when it goes crashing down it can easily crash to zero.

Over long time, without giant institutional investors propping it up constantly, it is guaranteed that it will happen at some point.
