In a hospital setting, nurses and doctors round regularly. No one is talking about using AI as a replacement for that, because no one has anything approaching that much trust in predictive models.

Predictive models are most often used as either an alerting mechanism or an additional data point on a dashboard. You need to careful of alert fatigue, where too many false positives cause humans to disregard all alerts from the model. And if you don’t get people ignoring alerts, you can waste a lot of people’s time and energy by having constantly having them run to check on someone who is actually fine.
Yes, look at literally any complex Python library and there's generally going to be an unreadable mess of dunderscore properties and ClassFactory stuff. I've seen Python libraries that call a SQL database query and then build Python objects and code from that! What a nightmare.
I think there was an implication that the wealth belonged to the investors in BlockFi. Their wealth was destroyed in a very real way.
This has been long established. marcan_42 has repeatedly posted about this here, on twitter and reddit to name a few locations.
I would sincerely be curious to know how many “kloc of C/C++” you are already running in an adversarial environment and how much of a dent this project would make.
> I'm not sure I get what you mean by "you might not be looking at the meaningless part"?

For example, you might not be pushing buttons that trigger the meaningless part, but the other parts of the system might still be functional.

> What's the difference between seeing a bunch of test failures and fixing them one by one until the test suite is all green, and seeing a bunch of compiler errors and fixing them one by one until the compiler runs clean?

The difference is in one of the cases a highly qualified professional has freedom to decide _when_ to do the fixes.
I have no idea how this plays out.

One question is what was in the agreement for FTX users? Can FTX use deposits for investments and to fund his other businesses?

In my view the path to prison for SBF is likely to come in the form of misleading investors rather than customers, but I dont know what the pitch deck told them at the time of funding. It might not even be against the law regarding what he did to customers despite the immense destruction.
My headcannon is that Asahi Lina is actually Marcan since they both have a Spanish accent/twang.
It is much safer to get bad news out in your own voice than risk that it leaks some other way, either through a journalist reporting on it or, even, an employee breaking the story on social media.

If the company doesn't get on the front foot to control the narrative, they will wake up to an email from a journalist saying that they are writing an article about 30pc cuts.

At that point, the journalist is likely to have heard the news -- and largely written the story. The company will be able to provide a quote, but by that point they will have lost control of the narrative. They won't be able to put their own headline on it -- as the start-up has done with this blog post.

One story becomes two. Becomes three. Becomes four. Etc. Then a media narrative sets in that the company is on the way to bankruptcy, etc, etc. Investors start calling the CEO, etc, etc.

I know that people find these types of announcements cringe and think that PR is a waste of time. But there is a reason most companies use this playbook: it is safer and it works (most of the time).

For the avoidance of doubt, this isn't a justification for all the language and messaging in this announcement, but a broader justification of the general strategy of communicating openly and in your own voice when you have bad news.
Which will be closed eventually, because they want all land to develop a megacity (think Hong Kong) in the (near) future.
What if someone only has a problem with your plural of goose?
The standard 110V 15A power available in every home and apartment in America can supply 1.5kW of power. If you leave your car plugged in for 10 hours, that’s 15kWh. A Tesla Model 3 gets about 4 miles per kWh, so that’s almost 60 miles of range. If your commute is less than 30 miles there and 30 miles back, then you never need to visit a charging station, and you probably don’t have to call an electrician to install anything either.

There is a problem with many older apartment buildings which don’t have a power outlet near every single parking space, but that is a relatively simple problem to solve; electricians add and move power outlets every day of the year.

If your commute is longer than that, then maybe you should talk your boss into installing power outlets for the parking spaces at your work, or you can use the 220V 30A outlets that your washing machine and dryer are plugged in to. Those can give you double the range in the same amount of time. Of course, not all apartments have 220V outlets; many apartment buildings get 3–phase power from the power company and then give each apartment just a single phase. That’s annoying, but not insurmountable.

I would wager that the number of people that need more than 120 miles per day is very small. Not zero, of course. I know a guy who drives 200+ miles per day as a selling imported Italian foodstuffs to restaurants, for example.

Edit: oops, 220V 30A circuits can give you quadruple the range, not double. I forgot to multiply. Even my friend the Italian food salesman can make his daily rounds on an overnight charge from that.
As someone who does Perl, python, Java, C#, and various flavors of JavaScript on the regular - it’s different tools for different situations.

I’ve worked on million+ line Perl codebases, and even bigger FAANG codebases in each of those languages, and untyped large code bases turn into impenetrable balls of mud much quicker than typed ones.

And myself and others were doing runtime meta programming in Perl long before it was cool or anyone we knew was calling it that.

But never underestimate the ability for a software engineer to create code in any language that will perplex and mystify them a year later.

And I’ve not met a codebase in any language yet that couldn’t be turned into a ball of mud pretty quickly.

Mithraism, in particular, is arguably very tightly linked to Christianity in early Christian history. By one theory, before Constantine's reforms that merged the two religions, Christianity was popular among the plebians while Mithraism was very popular among the patrician class, and the modern form of Christianity is arguably more similar to the old religion of the patricians.
That video was remarkable. Apparently the guy couldn't code but worked as a trader at JS for three years. In my own head, that almost reflected worse on JS than SBF.

I think everyone assumed Alameda were doing something clever. In reality, they were just idiots stealing from and front-running their customers. Lol.

These moments when you see the man behind the curtain, it is just ludicrous and shakes your faith in the "system" (I worked in finance, I remember meeting a fund manager, had made 9 digits selling his company...the guy was an idiot, he had got lucky with some distribution relationships and one stock pick, the company he was trying to hire me for has had absolutely terrible performance since I met him near on ten years ago now...life is really like this sometimes, people making billions doing work they have no business doing, everyone thinking they are genius despite that obviously not being the case).
Well, not so easily. The chances per-capita are in the sub-percent range at 30.
I'm not aware of any standard of vegan certification. If there was one, and it counted this against Impossible, then it would have to count a whole lot of other ingredients that were animal tested too wouldn't it?
The owner at a boutique engineering firm I worked for told me that in a large corporation the best thing you can do is massively fuck up at the beginning. Everybody would learn about you and then eventually forget what you did wrong. The extra bit of notoriety would help with name recognition and people would think you're a "good guy".
This is the reason nobody ever does any of the work they're paid to do. Easier not to, right?

I'm not sure how this comment relates to the topic as we aren't discussing any sort of monopoly.
I'm sorry, but I get irked whenever I see a CEO saying they take full responsibility but then accept no consequences. There is no impact on their compensation, their equity, or their life other than the "emotional scar" left behind of having to let people go. They will absolutely expect the remaining staff to pick up the game from the loss of such a big chunk of the company. It kind of feels like the letter is more or less "we know you are hurt, but so am I and think about my feelings too"

I know I'm being pessimistic, but the CEO isn't the one having to spend the next few months trying to find a good job when everyone is on a hiring freeze.

MessageBird seems located in The Netherlands. For those living in NL health insurance costs €1500-1800/year & deductibles €385/year, employed or on social benefits. They are never paid by the employer.
You say "... the way they have literally arrested people for tweets", as if "tweets" is a special "thing" , but it's just communication. If something is illegal to say, it stands to reason that it would be illegal to say through the medium of a tweet. Is it less ridiculous to arrest people from what they write in a blog post or what they say on the street than what they say in a tweet?

It seems like one should either take free speech absolutist approach and say speech should never be illegal, or accept that some speech is illegal which would obviously mean that it's illegal even on Twitter. But you're not the first person I've seen who seemingly find it extra ridiculous to react to something someone tweeted, as if publishing a tweet or a series of tweets is not an act of speech, and I don't understand it.
All EVs can lock the charging cable so that it cannot be unplugged without unlocking the car. This type of prank is just not a problem.
Is there a good book to learn Godot? I've been waiting for such a book for some time. I have only been able to find online tutorials and videos, but I would like an offline book.
the argument that makes the most sense to me about why EVs with slightly less than 1% have “only” reduced CO2 by 0.54% is that until recently the available EVs were mainly replacing relatively gas efficient vehicles: hatchbacks, sedans, and small SUVs. The owners of less efficient trucks and large SUVs have not seen EV equivalents to switch to. that is starting to change with the introduction of the Ford F150 Lightning and the upcoming Silverado and other larger EV SUVs. Also the number of PHEV SUVs has increased in the last year or so. As EVs become available to replace vehicles across the range, that impact number should correct and more closely track market penetration.
Yeah, as a Data Science manager I've experienced this pain a lot (not part of the critical path). I am now an Engineering Manager that works with a cross-functional team including FE/BE/DS/Devops and it's the most power I ever had to put Data Science in front of our clients in a meaningful way.
IMHO not including the words "The Guardian" in his TL;DR is what makes it spammy
There's another part of the interview where SBF says he donated about the same to Democrats and Republicans, contrary to the public record. https://youtu.be/6DezodR9hNI?t=775

His explanation and reasoning is that Democrat donations would be treated favorably by the media so those were done publicly, while "reporters would freak the fuck out" about Republican donations. So he made those in the dark.
The professionalism of the team really astounds me, from direct and honest communication to the actual quality of the builds. Godot is a treasure I feel and a great example of how to do open source, and build a community.

As an alumni from a Christian school, I can confirm that this is legal. [0]

You'll get expelled if you're in a same-sex relationship, or displaying behaviors of such a relationship (e.g. holding hands). [1]

> Harding University holds to the biblical principle that God instituted marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman and that gender identity is given by God and revealed in one’s birth sex. Students are prohibited from being married to or dating a person of the same sex. Neither may students engage in behavior suggesting a romantic relationship with a person of the same sex. The University further holds to the biblical principle that sexual relationships outside the context of marriage are unacceptable to God and immoral. Sexual immorality in any form will result in suspension from the University.

I've had the pleasure of trying to maintain a tailwind codebase written by 2 junior devs over a year and let me tell you, that wasn't easy either
Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem, one library at a time
Many of the same professional players win year after year, strongly implying it's a game of skill rather than luck.

Poker isn't particularly luck-based, especially if you play a large number of hands, as eventually everyone sees the same cards on average.

Also, poker doesn't have legacy admissions - the people that win at poker consistently always deserve their status.
The issue gets messier when you consider what just happened in Australia, when one of the largest medical insurance providers accidentally over-shared the Excel sheet with all their passwords in it (or something like that) and now all their customer's id documents are on the dark web.

I would imagine that some rando social media site that collects this stuff to prove someone is over age to be a whole lot less secure (if that is possible?).
I think this article makes a far better case than the college hyperbole of "once you invoke undefined behavior it is allowed to format your drive and kill your cat."

As chance would have it, I am actually arguing with another team today about introducing undefined behavior into our code-base. They're arguing "well it works so its fine." I used this article to argue that it doesn't matter and we're inviting really insidious errors to come in later down the road.
This is all in the context of Buffet's quote, where one person owns all of the Bitcoin in the world at the same time.

In that situation, there is no scarce resource that has value. People can create as many new cryptocurrencies as they want. The fact that you happen to own all of the one called Bitcoin is meaningless.
Um.. I do not want to seem snarky ( and it is not intended as such, but I want to make sure accurate current state is presented ) so please this consider this quote at face value indicating how EU and UK differ:

From the article:

"The court’s ruling puts it at odds with the UK, which was one of the first countries in the world to introduce a public beneficial ownership register in 2016."

The link provided belongs to UK government, which is no longer part of EU, which effectively only proves that some countries took steps like that.

I consider myself lucky that the package is delivered to anywhere on my property. I have found them lying in the driveway, seemingly thrown from the vehicle as it passed by. It's not all that uncommon to have to hunt down missing packages at the neighbor's houses.

Thanks for sharing. I'm really fascinated by everything in DG. Actually I didn't know DG until now.

Is it possible for you to share a bit more? I'm sorry for being vague but I assume anything would be of interest of the HN public right now. If there is really a need for a topic, I couldn't help but Googled your name, looks like you are involved in a project called "Poppet", maybe it is possible to speak a bit about that one?

Thanks!

These messages are hard to balance; he is writing a message to the laid off staff, the staff staying on, and the public.

The "I'm sad about this" is aimed at the remaining staff. He wants to retain the appearance of being empathetic and authentic as a leader. But in doing so he comes across as self-centred to the other audiences.
I think that's an interesting question here. Especially with how much was invested into GitHub's GraphQL and the once implication that the GraphQL API would entirely replace the REST API. (And the GraphQL API still having its own, different versioning scheme now and after the change mentioned in this blog post.)

The blog post suggests that we might find out some of the API changes that warranted this change as early as next month, but it would have been great for this blog post to include some examples of changes that were coming.
> you must live in the U.S., which explains why you think your experience generalizes to the whole world

On the contrary, I live in Serbia, but 45 years before that I lived in Russia and USSR. So I have a first hand experience with currrent Russia's situation and all the events led it here.

For now, you either cannot have an account on Russian exchange if you are non-resident, or even if you do - you just cannot do any trade. If you have an account with the bank which has connection to sanctioned Russian banks - you will be presented with the rate far different than that you see on Forex. And you have to trade not USD or EUR or other credible currency, but in yuan, which is cursed by CCP (even Chinese people don't want to keep their savings in yuan) or, even better, turkish lira, which is cursed by Erdogan and has tremendous inflation of 10-15% per year for last 5 years. Good luck exctracting you arbitraged value from those.

I also see a visible volume of rupee/ruble on MICEX, but I don't think the rupee is a viable alternative to yuan or TRY for that matter.
I am a maintainer of the WasmEdge project. Yes, it is written in C++ for two reasons:

1 C++ apps can run a lot of edge hardware devices and OSes. We are running on RTOS like seL4 and CPUs like RISC-V.

2 There are already two leading Wasm runtimes written in Rust when we started. We thought runtime diversity is important from security and reliability point of view.

It is indeed more challenging to run C++ programs securely. We are participating Google’s OSS-fuzz program.

Of course, for application developers, WasmEdge provides “Rust first” SDKs and APIs. Almost all of our new features are available in the Rust SDK first. :)

Yeah... I was hoping to passively watch it, maybe gleam something but yeah.

The other thing too, watching other people code is kind of not fun like George or Rene. More fun to see some screeching video with no actual info just the end result of a robot pissing in a cup.

Also goes to show how much work goes into writing code/having some end result. Maybe it will get more exposure since there is a growing trend for vtuber stuff.

Yeah, I wish I'd had "free time" in college. 60-70 hour work weeks were normal - 20 hours a week in class and then a full-time load of courseworks / readings / labs etc. I couldn't afford to take time off on weekends for the first 3.5 years. It was horrendous.

Once I started full-time work it was like a revelation - finally I don't have to work on evenings and weekends! I actually get free time to myself! I can have hobbies!
It's unfortunate that the GTK devs feel they have to remove features which their users find useful to keep GTK maintainable. Keeping software complexity under control is a difficult task, and I can't begrudge them their choice.

Sorta. It is dynamic in that the "type" of the data can literally change as you use it. I don't have to say that an input is rational, and it may only become one after I use it in a way that requires that.
Also, anyone knows the origins of this particular resolution?
Delivery predictability (this close to a major hub, a lot of stuff is overnight and everything is two-day shipping) and the occasional television show (one very other week or so) is why I keep paying for Prime. Also, they gave me GrubHub+ for a year as part of it, so hey.
That is a very snobby attitude. Do you assume that only poor people are earnest? You do a disservice to the whole income spectrum by prompting the stereotype of the “honest working man vs the rapacious rich man”.

Oh, top nostalgia from the 1990s/2000s online. These buttons meant a lot to me. I think I said this on some of my old comments, but I learnt programming because I built a very popular website about a topic/fandom that I was very into back then.

There were a lot of websites about that, but only a few were really popular. The structure was very basic: header, left sidebar with links, centered content, and right sidebar with small chatbox, polls, random quotes, and affiliates. The affiliates was simply that: a link to another website in exchange of a link to your website. They started using text links but they usually evolved to 88x31 buttons, first simply JPG then animated GIFs.

Being in the affiliates section of the top websites (again, only for this subject) was the best. I remember spent hours and hours (translated into days adn weeks) designing my buttons in MS Paint (yeah, pixel by pixel) so I could convince the webmaster of the popular website to include mine, because a lot of the time they decided based n the button and not the website itself.

Anyway, sorry for the long rant (maybe younger people will learn something today), but as a lot of people I miss the old internet and I could talk hours about this!
