Faceting large result sets in PostgreSQL
I’m having a hard time believing it, so pardon my skepticism but which company pays €160K for a 6YoE in Berlin?
I think this response is more than a little breathless. The problem isn't in the filtering approach, it's in the polarization of the source material. For example:

> I tried to get it to answer some factual questions based on government statistics on topics that left of center people go politically thermonuclear on.

You're oddly reticent to say what these supposed facts are, which is apt to make one worry about your conclusions, but I'm willing to give one:

> Wikipedia: In the US, individuals identifying themselves as Asian generally tend to score higher on IQ tests than Caucasians, who tend to score higher than Hispanics, who tend to score higher than African Americans.

Now, responses to this statement tend to "cohere" into one of two ideological bundles:

1. Denies that there are differences in racial performance in IQ tests, denies that IQ test measures anything significant, denies that differences in IQ test performance are the result of genetic differences, denies that difference in intelligence explains criminality, denies that difference in intelligence explains or justifies differences in economic success and wealth.

2. Asserts that there are differences in racial performance in IQ tests, asserts that IQ tests measure "intelligence", asserts that differences in IQ test performance are the result of genetic differences, asserts that difference in intelligence explains criminality, asserts that difference in intelligence explains or justifies differences in economic success and wealth.

This coalescing of views is the result of underlying ideological commitments; on one hand, to the idea that racial inequality in the United States is a blameworthy thing that should be addressed, and on the other, to the idea that racial inequality is the result of natural forces that do not need to be addressed.

The latter camp is going to border on, and in many cases contain, overt racism. If you're in a position where you have to filter the material being used to train your chat bot, the only plausible option is to throw out the racist parts of the source material. This is inevitably going to lead you to factual biases. There's no need to result to Mao quotes to explain what is happening here.

The unfortunate reality, of course, is that facts are more complicated than ideology. (It is a fact that there are racial differences in IQ test performance. It is NOT widely accepted that these differences are due to genetic makeup or that they explain crime rates.) But unless you want OpenAI to start picking and choosing individual facts to include in their training data, I don't see how they can do better than including everything, with a filter for racism, homophobia, etc.
From one of my internal contacts who worked there & had to actually interface with the SAP implementation:

1) It's one of the largest SAP deployments in the US if not the world

2) SAP (at the time) was the only one who could offer an ERP that scaled to do what Apple wanted.

Homegrown enterprise software is one of those things that sounds great until you realize you're re-inventing a lot of code dealing with regulations (tax/hr legal) that is other companies bread & butter so it's worth "paying their price" rather than getting it wrong and being on the wrong side of litigation/legislation.
This, to me, is why Factorio is so incredible.

It's blananced to a point it always feels incredibly fair, and there are sliders and fine-tuned adjustments you can do if you wan to make it "just a little more chaotic", or "a slower start", etc.

It's brilliant.
Out of the sprawl trilogy, I'd say Mona Lisa Overdrive would probably make the better "movie". Unfortunately, Molly is difficult character to use as the common thread. Don't get me wrong, I love Molly as a character and she is perfect to connect the books, but I cannot see using her ambivalence to the world as the connective tissue between "movies". And if we're mentioning sci-fi books that should be turned into movies, Neil Stephenson's Diamond Age is high on my list.
This seems accurate but is pretty bleak for anyone who is a "junior" themselves. I just broke into a "real" SRE role after being a "unix admin" and incident manager for my whole career. My actual software engineering skills are therefore pretty raw. I'm hoping that I will be able to sneak in as one of the last generations of "juniors" that don't have to meaningfully compete with large language models.

I worked with a couple of college classmates, who when they were taking to each other would use this hurry up to stop type of speech pattern. A few really quick words, then a pause, and a few more words. For autistic people this is called cluttering, but they talked to clients and others and didn’t talk that way, so I always wondered where it came from.

My heartburn with ONI is that it seems to fall into that category of game that is all about "it's all about the journey, and discovery!11" which makes debugging anything incredibly hard. Why is water not flowing? Who knows, the computer won't help me

Entire reseller websites (e.g. g2a) of games and software alike have popped up trying to profit from this arbitrage opportunity. You buy games in Russia and an American scoops up the license key for a little more, it’s all automated too nowadays.

If the deceit from within the US Government isn't #1 in the world, it's got to be top 3. People underestimate what it is exactly that our intelligence agencies do. Accepting that this is just "table stakes" is defeatist and simply not true.
Thanks! We've made a lot of optimizations internally for latency. We've gotten a lot of feedback that it is faster than Copilot but obviously they operate at much larger scale.
Don’t get me wrong — I think destroying quality base load capacity is apocalyptically stupid.

> Learnt behaviour, copying, or physical tics that once learnt get stuck in the brain?

The article itself makes it clear. There's an obvious reward for these behaviors. This youtuber got exceptionally popular very quickly and was able to turn that into appearances on other shows. The other patients are also noted to have their "symptoms" express themselves during unpleasant tasks, but to be missing during pleasant ones. To the point it gets them out of doing the unpleasant work.

We've built a system that rewards this behavior because we built a system that also makes this behavior profitable. To me, these results shouldn't be a surprise, and I wonder if this "new illness" is really just an emergent lower level expression of something like Munchhausen syndrome; now given a wider and less sophisticated audience to play to.
There were plenty of electrical engineers at MIT working on differential analyzers when Shannon worked on his paper. Why Shannon and not them? Funding and ecosystems don't make technological revolutions anymore than they make cures for diseases. After all, the four papers that revolutionized physics in the early 20th century were composed by a 24-year old patent clerk. Someone has to do the job of thinking and putting those ideas to paper. This is a requirement of any great idea irrespective of funding or people. Thinking is an individual pursuit for an individual reward.
I appreciate the input, but I'm going to do a heel-face (face-heel?) turn and say that I trust that book about as far as I can throw it. There's an entire industry dedicated to rapidly churning out books on right-wing culture war topics, and the quality tends to be low.

I have, in the course of my travels, been told many times that I need to read such-and-such a book on a topic before I can "really have an opinion". I get the taste in my mouth that such books tend to serve a defensive role in conversations (like barbed wire, with a machine gun pointed at it) instead of an educational one, and put the recommendee on the back foot where they're refusing to read a source as offered.

It works because--going back to point 1--there's so many books out there that reading them all doesn't scale and never will. They take far, far more than they give. The youtube videos of the genre "three hours of some guy talking into the camera" occupy a similar niche.
A parent being able to travel for a few days while one parent manages the kids is not abnormal.

She took a weekend recently and left me with the 3 kids. It was fun and honestly more relaxed than most weekends. Maybe importantly is our spacing — 13, 10 and 3. Not saying 3 toddlers.

> Do you have evidence

Ironic request given the lack of any evidence in your previous very definitive statement that it's:

> part of a trend in car design to cater to those awash with masculine insecurities or being told by the media they need to be more "manly"

But if you now tell me (below) that it's just "your opinion" and not a matter of fact then it's perfectly fair to call it "projection" (taking your personal feelings and generalizing them to others).

This isn't a PhD thesis. But fine, every other aspect of product design has been proven beyond doubt to be subject to planned obsolescence. It's not only reasonable to assume that aesthetics won't be an exception, it's also the best area to do it as it cannot be regulated in any way. It appeals to people's inherently subjective tastes.

You can probably find even better resources than these a short internet search away:

It's not clear to me that discussing the effect causes the effect. It's an effect that's been specifically documented in response to media coverage of suicide. The consensus from suicide prevention orgs seems to be that compassionate, interpersonal discussions about suicide prevention are probably helpful. Not sure if that's backed by research.

Hey. I had an old Miata. A friend said it looked like a jellybean. Maybe that's feminine; I don't know. I also haven't seen any current ones, I don't think.

Ask HN: How would you approach an Intelligence Agency to join them
Suppose you want to join an intelligence agency, either in UK, US, Africa or otherwise. How would one approach this, are there specific events you need to go to, websites you need to apply to, people you might want to speak to. This should be seen as a diplomatic role in aiding two countries(in most cases you have to be a citizen in respective countries). Has anyone ever successfully interviewed or been approached by some intel?
Well, the seatbelt is a complicated situation; I ride motorbikes at 100 mph (160km/h) with no seatbelt (in places where that speed is legal) and I don't feel the need for one, but I wear a seatbelt in the car at 50 km/h. Why? The seatbelt is just there and it has almost zero inconvenience for me to put it on, so I do. Not because I feel safer with a seatbelt at 50 km/h - I do appreciate airbags at that speed.

Bicycle helmets, on the other side, can be inconvenient; also you don't have one with you at any time, like any car has a seatbelt. Bikes are relatively slow, so having a helmet "just in case" mandatory at all times does not make sense for me, maybe for small children to some extent. Just ask yourself: what is next, helmets, balistic armor and knee protectors mandatory by law for pedestrians just because they may be hit by a car, bicycle or fall on the ice? There should be a limit and for me the limit is the mandatory helmet on a bicycle. Yes, I encourage beginners to wear helmets on bicycles on the street, but I would not mandate it, that gives the wrong message that the streets are not safe.

It's not really. The US medical system has this tendency to inflate pricing in a cat-and-mouse system where drug companies and insurance companies try to duke out what is the "correct" price of a drug. Setting it too high and the insurers won't cover it, too low and the pharmaceutical companies are "losing" profits to insurers. It's a terrible feedback loop that hampers those who can't afford insurance because the premiums are too high because pharmaceutical companies know that in most cases insurers will pay.
Much like the parent's comment, we all need to fart somewhere too
No, you would need a large storage facility as well.

A nameplate capacity of 550 MW with a capacity factor of only 26% almost certainly means there are a lot of times when it isn't generating any power at all, or at least none to speak of.

> My point was that your example shouldn't have provable negative expected value. Feel free to use the S&P 499 example in the future.

It's just an example that doesn't even use stocks. I think it's obvious enough that nobody can prove expected value for actual stocks.

> However, some people do beat the market consistently over the long term. TFA states that plainly, although it tries to downplay it.

By what definition of "consistently"? I see no such statement in the article.

Being up after X years is not consistently beating the market. That's beating the market once. You have to look at multiple time periods to talk about consistency.

> Additionally, this specific "research" is released by S&P Dow Jones Indices. What is the S&P 500 and Dow Jones if not a hand-picked selection of stocks? So this article isn't really saying it's impossible to beat the market. The article is saying that it's impossible to beat S&P Dow Jones Indices at picking stocks, which means the article is just a marketing piece.

It's not "just" a marketing piece if it's right. And they're using those baselines because it's the closest thing to "the market" we have available.

And it's obviously not impossible to beat the market. But if nobody can do it reliably, then nobody should get your money to try.
A well-fitting elastomeric respirator is comfortable and much cheaper than n95s in the long run, but it will get more looks in public. If you're the kind of person who cares about that, just use 3m Auras.

Replacing the discs on each wheel is straightforward, and the warping your noticing might be due to pressure from the mounting screws that tie it to the rim of the bike.

Have you tried loosening these, applying the brakes fully, and tightening the screws hand tight to center the brake disc and let it relax to flat?

I think the future is dual hub motors with Regen braking. Having tried this on a brakeless bike and a modified scooter, the performance is very good.
> When I say sign, I am thinking cryptographically signed, like you sign a transaction in your web3 wallet.

Why would we need web3 to sign something. Public/private keys have existed for decades, the blockchain is completely irrelevant.

Also, signing only proves something originates from you. It doesn't prove the opposite, that some other thing doesn't. And it only matters to people willing to check the signature.

Can you imagine how many fewer car crash injuries/fatalities we'll have if boomers turn to these kinds of vehicles as they age instead of driving long past their ability to do it safely? Your reaction time to safely drive one of these can be so much slower, and the damage you do when you mess up is going to be much much smaller. I really hope this catches on.
> committing money to specific hardware

Note that Dell R620 and R630 servers have been discontinued for a couple of years now, were probably bought used, and can probably be re-sold.
This is fair. OTOH, you have the single European market (the EU forces games, apps, hardware, etc to be sold at the same price everywhere in the EU in practical terms), which has shafted poor countries-it's disgraceful that a Swedish costumer pays the same price for an iPhone than a Portuguese costumer while making several times as much money every month.

I think waterfall hits the problem on the head. The course and certification are the product of a waterfall process. Consider all the work to update the questions on the course: The course syllabus, training material, tests. There are processes for each of those, with stakeholders to sign off.

If you want to change a question or add a new priority, you might make one of your stakeholders angry because that was their favorite topic and they have strong opinions.

The rollout has to be planned so that people currently studying the material are not caught off guard when they take the test.

I have a lot of empathy for the people involved, but it's still a bad product.
Do architects reinvent the I-beam every time they design a new building? No, of course not.

The reason society works is because you can reuse abstractions that other people have already invented. It allows you to scale. Without economies of scale, you end up with Baumol's cost disease, which is extremely obvious in the US in industries like child and elderly care.

Brownian motion gets impacted if ions repels (as well as attract) at molecular and atomic level. And like pH, it has ions depending on where across the pH spectrum.

Now if they would construct a hydrostatic test using 5.8 to 6.2 pH aerosolizer, then the data becomes more robust.
