> And yet, at the same time, Haskell has many, many extensions to enable certain features that would come for free in a dependently typed language, for example.

For sure.

In Rust’s case though it seemed that insiders were saying that HKT was more than the language needed, while now they keep running into limitations which necessitates patching up feature limitations. And patching up the language itself, not compiler extensions (maybe rustc is the only compiler that people use (?) but the updates are really to the language (in the abstract) itself).

But in any case, I’ve been told that I’m just talking out of my behind ;)
How I have waited for this: A simple, accessible library for graph-like data with datalog (also in a statically compiled language, yay). Have even pondered using SWI-prolog for this kind of stuff, but it seems so much nicer to be able to use it embedded in more "normal" types of languages.

Looking forward to play with this!

The main thing I will be wondering now is how it will scale to really large datasets. Any input on that?

How do you figure? It's such a big field, anybody can find a niche that's interesting. You think people become proctologists because they like butts?
One of the things I like about SVG is that it's the same everywhere. You can look at our site on any major browser and it's exactly the same down to the pixel.

Sure there are some rough edges — this is a proof of concept.

Long term, I would like to create an editing program that combines the best of SVG and HTML, because there are obviously many places where HTML offers a lot more.

That will be a huge project that will require funding, so right now I'm seeing how far I can push SVG by itself.
The outbreak in Uganda is troubling, but a forecast that goes out 6+ months is silly. No professional infectious disease modeler will forecast out more than a few weeks because the trajectory of the outbreak changes in response to interventions and behaviors.
This can be a cultural thing. In particular, if I understand correctly, in India it is considered rude not to make small talk before jumping into work. (I'm slightly autistic too but it's not completely useless. I ended up taking a trip to India at one point, and such trips are much easier if you've put in the effort to understand the culture, and your coworkers everyday lives.) I would suggest trying not to be so brief. Ask about their family, their commute to work, etc - get to know them a little better.
Those were separate incidents I don’t believe are connected
Not paying for down time, dead simple scaling, better service composability.

If I was starting from scratch, I'd use serverless. If you're migrating everything, I think that is a giant project that needs justification. I'd ask, "What specific current problem do you have that it would solve?"

Cold boot is only a (minor) issue on the first hit, that's quickly amortized.
Yes, it is super difficult to imagine. There is no country in a world with healthcare system where this would be normal. It would need to be super rich country with incredibly generous health care system, but they dont do this in Sweden and what not either.

It's like bundling metal, rock, alternative, blues, country, and string quartets together as "guitar music."

Old schoolers used the term electronica as the umbrella. But eventually electronica shifted to replace "IDM" (intelligent dance music) to mean very electronica-ish music.

EDM became a term as EDM went mainstream, starting around 2010. It defines a specific range known for the commercially well-produced electro/progressive house, dubstep, & trap.

From the outside, EDM is technically correct. But for insiders, we probably just say "dance music" or "electronic music" as the umbrella.
At these lower frequencies, sounds don't transfer well from solids to air and vice versa.

That means the ground shaking at 10 Hz (like an earthquake), and the air shaking at 10 Hz, might feel very different.
I think you are being disingenuous if you are denying that cancel culture is a thing. There is a long list of people who’ve been cancelled or have attempted to be cancelled and finding that list is a quick Google away. Examples include: JK Rowling, Dave Chapelle, Matt Damon, etc. the list is a mile long. Some cancellation attempts are more successful than others depending on how famous they are. But the key is that a large mob of people banded together and tried to get them deplatformed, usually using common language like “do better”, and calling them things like “fascist”, “bigot”, “racist”.

Additionally, those are just examples of people in the public sphere, there are tons of videos and other examples of online of students shouting down professors or guest speakers, calling them "fascists", demanding they be fired, literally cancelling speakers with opposing views. I mean there's just a lot of evidence online, very easy to Google. I can link it here if that's helpful, but I worry that the people who don't already know about this problem will probably just ignore the links since they were already willfully ignorant up to this point.

Of course there are examples of right extremes, nobody here is denying that, we’re talking about the extremes of the left and how they are having a chilling effect on scientific research.

For the record, I am not a Republican and I am not a Democrat.
Basically, having universal or near-universal access to modern sanitation is the "program". If you're not in a community that has this, being a member of Doctors Without Borders is insufficient as a guard against getting infected. Conversely, having running water and flush toilets as the norm makes it far less likely for dieases like ebola to spread even among non-members of Doctors Without Borders.

So, while "lack of education" is not the right diagnosis here, lack of basic amenities certainly is.
Insurance is already "AI-powered"...insurance companies employ statisticians to build prices, and they have been using low-cost distribution since the 90s.

Speaking generally, insurance was one of the first industries to deploy technology effectively in their core business. They are still doing that.

The issue with companies like Lemonade is that they are rebranding the same product as "AI" (afaik, Lemonade is just taking share by offering cheaper prices...doesn't sound quite as appealing as "AI").
Signaling while stopping is hard since the "proper" way is to use your left hand is signal a stop and that's also the hand that controls the good brake.

But even then, I'd be surprised if the driver who's reckless/inattentive enough not to pay attention to the person in front of them at a stop sign both noticed and understood what the signal meant. Worth a shot though.

Normally you find the frequency content by using a discrete fourier transform. This takes a number of data points and transforms them from time domain to frequency domain. It's basically a mapping from one vector space to another. And the frequency domain vector space has fixed base vectors. The basis vectors correspond to frequencies, and being basis vectors they are actually independent of the data. What is data dependent is how much energy those frequencies have. A given window size will have a minimum frequency it can detect. So the low frequency cutoff is actually implicit.

If you want to get lower frequencies you have to use longer windows, and that loses temporal precision, so you have to do a tradeoff. In a fascinating twist that is actually closely related to the heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Ask HN: Is it possible to break into ML/data science without a degree?
A couple of you might remember me from my last post [0]. Thanks for the advice back then - I’m in a much better spot now, working at a super fun startup, still coding Rust during the days and through the nights.

My employer recently told us that they have ~2 years of runway so I’ve been thinking of backup plans. I feel like I could always get a job at some other rust shop, but I find myself fascinated by AI and haven’t been able to stop playing with Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. I have no degree, but you can assume I know how to implement backprop, know how to take a partial derivative & other basic calc/stats knowledge, and I’m willing to spend a year grinding on everything else I’m missing.

So, my question is: what would I need to do to break into the industry? Is it even possible?

If you're into eigenfunctions, pick up any textbook on quantum mechanics. The hamiltonian is a linear operator whose eigenfunctions are the stationary states of the system ("stationary" because an isolated system in a stationary state will never leave that state) and whose eigenvalues are the observable values of the energy of the system. In general, there is a correspondence between observable quantities and Hermitian operators on wavefunctions: "measurement" is the application of a Hermitian operator to the wavefunction, and the values you may observe are the eigenvalues of the operator. So, for instance, energy is quantized in some systems because their hamiltonian has discrete eigenvalues.
> What happens when you cross an intersection? The physical separation doesn't extend through the intersection and intersections are where most crashes and close calls happen.

Traffic lights prevent car movement, at other junctions the lane is set back, and road is elevated to the level of the cycle lane, creating a natural speed bump. That plus bright paint and very sharp corners on the junctions forces cars to slow down, substantially decreasing both the probability and severity of collisions.

> You're not arguing. You're just dismissing without an actual counter argument.

There’s plenty of literature, studies and statistics out there. Bikes aren’t some new invention, methods for making roads safe for vulnerable road uses is well documented and tested with decades of data.

It’s not my job to educate you. You can do that yourself, if that’s too much effort for you, then don’t bother sharing your views, as they’re clearly going to be poorly informed.
Another definition of "console" might be "specialized and/or custom hardware designed mostly for playing games" without regards to the software.
Indeed, inclusivity is one of the main pitches capitalism has left - sure, you're getting stomped by the bootheels of capitalist running dogs, but half of those dogs are from visible minority breeds.
You know all kinds of things can happen during a PhD right? Many don't even make it to the end, some get burnt out and leave without a degree (along with their career prospects), some meet abusive professors, some find themselves in illness (bonus points if you are in America, don't know wtf is happening with their healthcare system), some find their advisor suddenly leave academia and their lab fucking disappears (which I have experienced), etc.

Anyways, I think planning decades into the future to get what you want with a spreadsheet is only possible from a petit-bourgeois "middle-class" standpoint. From David Graeber's paper "Anthropology and the rise of the professional-managerial class" [0], he talks about what that mentality is:

> What being middle class means, first and foremost, is a feeling that the fundamental social institutions that surround one—whether police, schools, social service offices, or financial institutions—ultimately exist for your benefit. That the rules exist for people like yourself, and if you play by them correctly, you should be able to reasonably predict the results. This is what allows middle-class people to plot careers, even for their children, to feel they can project themselves forward in time, with the assumption that the rules will always remain the same, that there is a social ground under their feet. (This is obviously much less true either for the upper classes, who see themselves as existing in history, which is always changing, or the poor, who rarely have much control over their life situation.)

And guess what, that middle class is shrinking (since the things that welfare capitalism has promised are starting to not be true anymore, like if you work hard enough you can buy a house and start a family...) Many people in first-world countries have already been woken out from that fantasy.

> Multiple independent studies have established clear causality for vaccine induced myocarditis.

Neither of your linked articles do any such thing. They demonstrate and conclude correlation alone, and - again - correlation != causation.

The first article you linked only assesses myocarditis diagnoses after vaccination (since that's how VAERS data works), i.e. it makes zero attempt to eliminate the possibility of myocarditis having been present before having even received the vaccine and then subsequently detected later. Again: athletes (including those of the youth variety) are already at disproportionately higher risk for myocarditis, with or without the vaccine.

The second article you linked (or rather, the actual study, rather than an editorialized summary thereof) is a meta-analysis of other studies, and itself documents some pretty glaring caveats - namely, inability to control for post-vaccination infection, missing data on first v. second dose, and lack of access to the text of some of the analyzed papers. The analyzed papers all seem to have the same problem as the first one you linked: they take myocarditis diagnoses and work backwards to whether or not the patient was vaccinated, and therefore make no effort to determine whether myocarditis preceded or succeeded vaccination in the affected individuals.

A more compelling test would be to check for myocarditis, then administer the vaccine, then check for myocarditis again (and repeat for subsequent doses). That still wouldn't prove causality, but it would at least actually establish (or fail to establish) that elevated myocarditis risk actually follows vaccination rather than already existing and only being detected after vaccination.

If you're going to accuse me of "nonsense bordering on medical misinformation", you are encouraged to refrain from doing the same.
Again, the "bikes don't pay taxes" argument is another example of a motorist's sense of unfairness without acknowledging the vast difference between cyclists and cars. If you were to compare the mileage, width requirements, safely concerns, noise and emissions pollution between the two, cyclists would represent about about 1% of the total cost. So sure, charge a $1/year to own a bike.

Low pay (relative to other professional careers) is one thing. I have a number of friends who were prepared for the pay, but simply cannot secure a tenure-track position at all. They thought they'd be able to. And yeah, they were willing to move wherever.

I don't know for sure if they didn't know the truly low rate of success here, or just thought they'd be one of the successful ones, or just didn't think too hard about it.

To them, you are living the dream -- that they have not been able to achieve. I don't know about "data science", but in many fields (including things like mathematics and physics, we're not just talking humanities), it is lot harder to do what you did now than it was then. What you did is what they want to do, and would also be happy with $80K (at least in early career; 80K now is a lot less than 40 years ago!) to do something they love too.

But should people know that before going in? And then not complain about it, if they chose to go in anyway? I don't know, I'm not too invested in determining who "should" be complaining vs stoically and silently accepting their fate, I don't think there's really an answer.

I just know that it's really hard in most fields to turn a PhD into a tenure track job now. And that's probably not as widely recognized as it could (or "should") be. I think universities and advisers recruiting hard into their PhD programs despite this, without being clear, are probably not treating their students respectfully, even if the students perhaps "should" see through the recruiting spiel.

(I also have a couple friends with PhDs in the past 10 years who have succeeded in getting tenure track jobs, or even tenure already. it is not unheard of, although moving in that direction. I have a pretty academic social circle)

So many comments about how this is missing feature X or Y, isn't responsive, or isn't accessible... It would be nice to have people focus on its achievements rather than its pitfalls, unless the author has claimed it is a built-in replacement for HTML/CSS (which I don't think they did)

All I could think when watching that trailer is "I'm getting too old for this".

Also, relevant to this story, Embark does a lot of open source development in Rust, including physx-rs. The Finals is using Unreal Engine though.
The tools and operational bits are better and more available but the bar for what constitutes a viable product is much higher today. The cost and complexity of engineering done today would have been beyond the realm of practicality not that many years ago.

Engineering complexity grows to consume the capabilities of our tools. Incremental improvements in operations and tools doesn't offset the large changes in engineering sophistication required to build software that isn't a mediocre re-hash of something that already exists. The definition of "state-of-the-art" in database engines, for example, has moved so much in the last 15 years that the level of technical know-how required has become a prohibitive barrier to new products.
