> ... and must dress differently

Operating based on a sampling of women I know - Im going to perform an experiment - I have some clothes of mine that I (Male with a capital M) no longer wear and Im going to give them to some Female friends for their own use.

We'll see what happens but I bet Im going to be met with confusing expressions and laughed at - at best.

Men and women do not dress differently on the count of societal pressures but rather express themselves differently on the count of different imperatives. You can slice it 6 different ways but outside of a small minority of people with non-standard gender ideals, the vast majority of women want to "be pretty" in whatever way that means to them and the vast majority of men want to "look like a man" for their various reasons and in whatever way that means to them.

I realize this is a terribly "incorrect" thing to say these days but at the same time its among the most pervasive ideals I can think of - right up there with the understanding that water is wet. Out side of groups where the word "Patriarchy" is thrown around, men are men and women are women and neither would have it any other way. This isn't due to societal pressure to conform either. This is prevailing behavior of both genders at work.

I personally do not understand why a minority of people choosing alternative, non-birth gender roles needs to be cast into some movement where everyones gender is in question. Im not sure I know anyone who has ever so much as questioned the "baggage" their bio-gender is supposedly saddled with. According to modern psychiatry (which for the purposes of this conversation we'll assume is valid since we all agree Sociopathy and Eating Disorders are real things too), the DSM-5 includes Gender Dysphoria. Psychiatry considers that a real thing right next to some other things I think we can all agree are real.

I spent months last year building algorithms to segment Chinese sentences into individual words (Chinese has no spaces) and disambiguate the meaning of the words (Chinese words often have many different translations). ChatGPT solved this problem practically as well as I have zero-shot. Here's a very difficult example that's not exactly correct, but better than what I could produce:

> In the Chinese sentence "这次公司裁员裁不到我头上." with the translation "I won't be fired during this round of layoffs.", list all the words separately with their individual word translations

这次 - this time,
公司 - company,
裁员 - layoffs,
裁不到 - won't be fired,
我 - I,
头上 - during (literal translation: on top of the head)

I knew this day would be coming but since nothing was available at the time I had to try an implement a hodge-podge of algorithms to get the job done. But honestly, if I can integrate ChatGPT instead I'm kinda glad! Thousands of lines of code gone, a much simplified pipeline, and I can focus on higher level tasks instead. What's important is the problem I'm trying to solve.

But it does show that a lot of NLP and CV tasks will be as simple as explaining what you want, and the result will mostly be good enough. But there will still be value in solving more unique problems, or knowing the best way to mold problems such as they fit the foundational models available, and knowing how to build on top of them.

To keep your sanity, my advice is have some problems in mind that you're passionate about solving as well so that you diversity your mental investment.
The question is not who, but how many people are required to write code to train model?

Most medical care is not urgent. In fact, emergency care is a tiny fraction of all medical spending.

Thus the ability to "shop around" and thus subjectivity of medical care to price competition definitely exists in the majority of cases. If the system were setup to incentivize and support this. But due to lack of price transparency and skin in the game, there is no competitive pressure on pricing in practice.

It was mainly "sponsored" by the ICO, i.e. crowd funded. I see your criticism as generally valid but the facts are upside down in that comment. Ethereum was neither founded nor supported by evil corporations, on the contrary for years the established mainstream lobbied against cryptocurrencies until one by one they flipped when they realized what smart contracts could be used for. Take someone like Warren Buffett, he's still doing it even now.

Ethereum and the crypto space are at a crossroads for sure. You have chains like Monero on the one side, many in the Ethereum community walking a tight rope trying to balance grassroots free software development with mass adoption, and on the opposite end of the spectrum you get stuff like Solana, the venture capital bro chain.
Baby boomers life savings are still mostly in retirement funds being used to finance various ventures to get a reasonably good ROI. As the generation ages, the more money will be taken out of those accounts with fewer people to put their new earned money in the fund. Thus causing a credit crunch.

That lens is completely useless. If you are equivocating lenses to struct accessors, then you're adding abstractions for nothing. Lenses are good for things like, extracting all unique values out of deeply nested data structures for example.

Say you have two data structures

data Struct1 = Struct1 { someStuff: [ Struct2 ] }
data Struct2 = Struct2 { otherStuff: HM.HashMap Text Struct3 }
data Struct3 = Struct3 { name: Text }

And you have a list `[Struct1]` and want a `[Text]` of the `names` of Struct3. How do you do this in an imperative language? Manually accessing the fields, for loops, etc.

The van Laarhoven formulation of lens and ekmett's lens library optiocs in Haskell makes this trivial.

`myList ^.. someStuff . each . otherStuff . each . name`

Now, what if you wanted to modify all the names and prefix them with 'id-'? Again.. trivial.

`myList # someStuff . each . otherStuff . each . name %~ ("id-" <>)`

Your formulation is just field accessors. Not composable, and ultimately no better than just using the generated field accessors haskell provides.
Thank you for the answer, I appreciate the time you took to write it.

As I understand it, there is a legal vehicle which performs the actual transfer and the NFT transfer acts as a signal of interest for both parties. In that case, I see the benefit that neither party is bound to a certain platform/software to initiate the transfer. But overall, I admit that I still do not see why this requires zero trust and decentralization as primitives in the solution, which come with hefty caveats each.

Advise HN: My co-founder is stealing money from the company
Hi HNers,

I co-founded a company with someone I knew from work. We were not best friends, but we know each other from a professional perspective.

I am a tech person, mostly behind the scenes. My co-founder is a salesperson, responsible for closing the deals.

The company is doing great, I couldn't dream of a better fate financially. Deals are flowing, we are both making money, and life felt beautiful unless I recently got to know that my co-founder is stealing money from the company, hence from me. When he's closing the deals, he charges clients much more than he tells me and puts that money into his pockets.

For example, he negotiates $150 for a deal, brings in $120 to the company (we cover the opex and split the profit as a dividend) and that $30 goes directly to his pockets.

He's been doing this for over a year, costing me six figures by my estimates.

I could potentially sue him and get my money back. But the issue is that if I start a battle with my co-founder the music will soon finish, he will stop bringing in money in the company. I will probably loose all the upcoming profit (MUCH greater than what he steals from me) and other people, that I brought in the company (some of them are close friends) will be affected (if no runaway money, I will be forced to send them to homes).

What would be your advise, other than legal battle?
> Why does the US have a AAA rating in the first place?

Because the US has both historically demonstrated will and irrefutable capacity to pay its debt.

> It owes more than its GDP in debt repayments

So?

> If I owed more on my credit card than my yearly salary, I doubt I'd have a AAA credit rating.

If you could control the supply of currency your debt was denonminated in, you would (heck, if even without that, if much of your existing credit card debt had negative real interest rates, you might be, but you probably can’t get that for your credit card debt.)

The risk of monetization of the debt adversely impacts the value of the dollar, but not ratings of the US reliability in paying its debts, which are overwhelmingly dollar denominated.

Literally, the only significant risk to US debt payments is political fights over the debt ceiling.
It could be my own bias, but I don't see HN as a particularly progressive place, at least as compared to, say, Reddit. Granted, it can be a good or a bad thing, but HN has a far wider spectrum of opinions that get upvoted; IME trans issues in particular dominate comment threads when it comes to LGBT issues.

Rumors said, no new projects opened, and all people hired to support (and if you fortunate, to grow) old projects.

But don't forget, we are at war, few months ago more than quarter of Ukraine considered occupied by Russians, and we still are not safe from strikes on infrastructure (about week ago we survived blackout for near 20 hours).
It would seem crazy for an ad agency to implement that through an IAP where Apple takes $3k off the top (I assume that 30% rate still applies here?) when you're dealing with high-paying clients that could be told "go to our website to purchase"
Would you rather do some library gluing, or reinvent a thousand wheels with every project? The latter is neat the first few times. Whatever your preference, your value as an engineer is much higher if you can glue. Imagine if a carpentry workshop gives a carpenter a fully-fledged set of industrial power tools, but the carpenter insists she can recreate all the other tools with just her whittling knife because it's in the 'true spirit of carpentry'.
That’s a completely different argument to the one that I commented on.

And if that’s what they were doing then it’s still pretty embarrassing.

Note that Nova didn't feel an actual hardware capacity level was hit here. However, the setup lacked the redundancy to handle hardware outages for something like drive replacements without a significant outage. And I believe one of the main considerations in moving to a cloud service was actually limited connectivity options, because only so much fiber capacity was even available.

Years ago I decided I should know how to change the oil in my car, and do it myself regularly. I bought the required equipment, did it once, and then never did it again. It took me longer than it took someone with expertise (and expensive, professional equipment), and it actually cost more, when considering I couldn't buy motor oil in bulk, and had to pay to dispose of one-off quantities of used oil properly.

I would certainly replace the battery on my own, though. Well, maybe: getting a new battery home without the use of my car might be so annoying that it would probably be easier to just get a tow to a mechanic (or get someone to jump it and then drive to the mechanic). And again I'd have to deal with disposing of the old battery on my own: again, annoying and costly.
Thank you for doing this. It's good to know that this information is publicly available. I was not aware of the 2019 legislation and it would be helpful to know what the name of the law is.

I went to urgent care back in 2021 to have a few different tests run, pretty standard stuff. I asked for a price quote and they refused to give it to me. There is no other industry where sleazy practices like this are accepted.

> ...if it didn't come with so much societal baggage.

Isn't societal baggage also a perception issue? Take 10 people with all the same physical traits and the same social situation and you will get 10 different perspectives.

Why should I accept there is _any_ baggage as a fact? It may just appear so for a massive amount of people, and _that_ could be fluid.

Think about it this way: I am in the top earning 2%. It is only possible to buy such a home if you have a partner, who makes similiar numbers and then together decide to dedicate your life to it. The 98% of the rest cannot do it. Ergo I am either not earning enough or we have to accept, that you cannot really buy property within a top-tier city in Germany. In the end the whole debate turns into young vs. old and heritage vs. salary.
I really love it how even on days where our team is in the office, if just one person can't make it (quite likely) then almost all the meetings are virtual anyway. Sitting in a room together with headphones in zoom meetings! Brilliant. :D

Yes, that’s generally how luck works.
this is an international website, there's lots of people on this website from all over the world... I am from the UK. I am writing this comment from the UK. I have extensive knowledge of land and property prices in the UK, but that's not particularly important, because anybody can operate Google from anywhere in the world.

For example, a quick Google search will show that you can buy coastal land with houses on it for less than £1.7m so £1.7m for land that you cannot develop is an absurd suggestion. You can buy a 4 bedroom apartment moments from your piece of land... for £650k: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/127693028

You're being intentionally evasive, given you've been shown both land registry records (which, fyi, if are wrong, then the seller has avoided hundreds of thousands of pounds in stamp duty and HMRC will not look kindly on that when they receive my email) and an auction website where the land was sold (for the same price listed with the land registry).

I will literally buy that piece of land from you, right now, for the list price, if you can show any evidence it is worth that amount. You can buy parking spaces all over the UK for £7k, you can even buy houses in the north of England for ~£7k! The idea that a small piece of beach the size of my house that cannot be built on is worth more a parking space in London is ridiculous -- let alone worth more than a mansion down the road from the beach. You could buy 1.72 acres in London for less than £1.7m.
What is there to get? If you elide the actual implemetation, and go off of syntax, it's just

`struct ^. field1 . field2` to get stuff

and

`struct # field1 .~ blah` to set stuff.

It's syntactical memorization on par with any other language. A bit strange, but just syntax.
> java needs an xml file

But that was too boring, so people turned to gradle and we're back at ad-hoc scripting in a bizarre Turing-complete language. Believe me, I've hated maven with a passion (and still do) but this episode taught me build systems are nothing but a zero-sum game and typical junior-grade pastime.

Update: the story with Node.js is a bit different, but package.json was soon augmented by package-lock.json and yarn at about the same time Webpack and similar became kitchen sinks requiring config-generator tools such as create-react-app. The morale is, the grass is always greener on the other side I guess. Though tbh, cmake always was absolute garbage making autotools look sane in comparison. Now I hear there's legacy/unmaintained and new cmake syntax; what were people thinking?
Yep. And previously you couldn't choose a non-zero price lower than $0.99, so the new price choices will probably go to use.
>As for switches, it's a digital system, if the switch breaks you are carrying a device capable of fulfilling the same function in your pocket

If the service/app is still around. And your IoT system? Is it compatible with the latest ver of android or iPhone? Many of these companies come and go very quickly. Pretty much as soon as the VC funding runs out, or they want to go play with 'their newest stack'. Then you get to spend another 200 bucks for a new 'hub' so the app can work again. Then hope the new hub can interpolate with the old gear. Else you get to update that too.

Home IoT gets one thing very wrong and it is why many do not want it. Timeframes are measured in 1-3 years instead of 1-3 decades. I know what timeframes I expect different parts of my system to work in. Short timeframes for toggle switches feels wrong. Because I can spend 3 bucks and have a switch that lasts decades with nearly zero upkeep and little to no ongoing monetary cost.

Also support is kind of random. Take for example Linus tech tips. He went full on into home automation. Yet even being a decent name in tech, the company that sold him his switches could not give him the right thing. He has a good chunk of his switches that may or may not do what he needs. Firmware update would fix it. But to do that he has to buy random update stations that may or may not come with the firmware. That is 1 toggle switch with a motion sensor. Stack all of that together and you get random 'well this bit does not work right'. I really do not want random when I walk into a room if the light will turn on and stay on. Then do what it says on the tin and turn off when I leave. If Linus can not get these companies to do the right thing what hope do I have?

Home automation for me is in that uncanny valley of frustration and magical. I used to write industrial ones. My timeframe of 'it has to work for a long time' is very jaded by that.

I can see you and I are optimizing for different results. I am optimizing for 'do not have to mess with it again or as little as possible' and you are optimizing for 'check out what my house does'. Both are worthy goals.

> In your example, the positive correlation between the dose of the antidepressant and the probability of suicide still exists in the data.

Of course it does because the confounding factor of depression severity wasn't controlled for. You can't always control for confounding variables after the fact.

> What you're describing is sampling bias: the correlation between the antidepressant and probability of suicide in the sample may not reflect a similar correlation in a larger population.

Yes and no. I am describing sampling bias, but that's because the sampling bias is the source of the confounding variable in my example. The point was that the correlation was supposed to represent the relationship between antidepressant dosage and probability of suicide, not the relationship between people who typically take antidepressants and their probability of suicide. In my example, the dosage ended up being a dependent variable along with the probability of suicide and the severity of depression ended up being the independent variable, when the dosage was supposed to be the independent variable.
