The underlying problem is that companies don't want their models to reflect the data that they were trained on.

They want a model that artificially acts like the world is a perfect, happy, equal place. Just like in their press releases, advertisements, and other outings. Knowing very well that there are many problems that need solving.

But it's just a lot cheaper for a company to _act_ like there is no problem, than to _act upon_ the problem.

So, dear GPT model, please play along.

Of course there is a biological claim. Intelligence is hereditary, so certain populations may have higher average IQs than the others. Also we can see that in nature - every dog owner will tell you that certain races of dogs are of higher average intelligence than the others.

We also know that many - if not most - character traits are also genetic. There has been a ton of twin studies and adoption studies proving that. A book "Blank Slate" has multiple examples.

Having said that, I agree with keeping the research on race and intelligence/character a taboo. We know where such research leads to, and if there is a part of science better left unexplored, it would be this one.
Hah! A few years ago I did something similar.

I was in the process of porting some C code (a physics engine) to javascript. After porting the code I benchmarked it - and, no surprises - it was waay slower than the original C code.

One reason C is faster than javascript is that C structs get "inlined" into the containing object. For example, in C struct Body { vec2 pos; vec2 velocity; } would just be 1 object. But the equivalent javascript code would allocate 3 objects instead.

I inlined vec2 (replacing it with pos_x, pos_y, etc) and performance got a lot better. But I was curious what other structs were thrashing the garbage collector. So I added a call into all my constructors which generated a stack trace (new Error().stack), and used the stack trace as the key in a javascript object - with the value being the number of times that stack trace was seen.

After sorting and printing the result, I had a hit list of the hottest stack traces which were thrashing V8's garbage collector. I fixed all the worst call sites and by the time I was done performance improved by about 3x or so!
There were.

Read this post ‘unless’ you’re not a Ruby developer
Again you're showing that you're not familiar with the field you're talking about.

Being able to follow vehicles in front of you outside of lines is below table stakes in this field, you wouldn't even get into the casino. Mobileye was doing that 11 years ago with nothing more than a OTS radar and a single BW camera.

I mean, again, do you really think saying "humans don't perfectly follow the rules of the road" could possibly be a novel concept to anyone in the field of AVs?

There's nothing like being in a field to realize how far HN hubris actually goes. Someone reading your first comment would think you're a thought leader with how flippantly you write off an entire industry, yet here you are 2 comments in and slowly re-discovering the ground truths that the industry is already built on.
If you're talking about me (GP not OP); when I said "school" I meant during my undergrad at a university. I'm claiming that I skipped 2-3 years of math at university by self studying, specifically 2 years of analysis, 1 year of topology, and some algebra.

You can absolutely do this for university math using textbooks if you're motivated enough. Which I was.

Sorry for the colloquialism. "School" means university in the U.S. tech industry, but apparently not in Europe.

Edit: Reply to child comment before I log off. Haha I agree. The really valuable things I learned from math professors had nothing to do with the curriculum though. It was more like stories about all the people they saw going crazy trying to get tenure, ultimately failing and then seeking revenge against those who denied them; how they all go to conferences sometimes and drink very heavily afterwards in the nearest bar; and just little colloquialisms. Math academia was a really interesting subculture of very interesting people.
How is this related to my comment of masks being a no brainer?
I've had more issues with my ZFS arrays than the BTRFS ones.

The Linux implementation is pretty awful, with it demanding that it uses the absolute `/dev/sdx` reference even if you try to build it using serials or other unchaging reference.

Replace a disk and then after the next restart it fails to bring up the RAID because `sdf` points to a different disk. At least BTRFS uses internal UUIDs so can bring up the arrays when the disk ids change.

Fairly fundamental stuff, rather than complaining about an option not being enabled by default.

It will echo through eternity.
This reminds me of a story that isn't mine; one of my coworkers working a university and had a similar problem. They glued a stick to the CD-ROM drive of one server pointing at the restart button of another server. When they needed to force reboot that second server, they issued a command to the first server to open its CD-ROM drive.

> I don't believe there's ANY difference between Russians and Ukrainians

Russians are slaves sent to fight a war in another country. Ukrainians are free people who want to stay free. It has been like this for hundreds of years, ever since Muscovy started expanding like a cancer.

I'll give you a spoiler - Ukraine will NEVER AGAIN be a part of the Muscovyan empire. Enjoy living with that thought.
I once needed to install a very large piece of enterprise software in a locked-down enterprise environment. The client had contractually agreed that we would download the software rather than using physical media and for complicated reasons due to IP licensing we were not allowed to install via physical media.

However the enterprise IT/infosec folks at the client didn’t like our project and refused to whitelist our upstream host so it was not possible to download things into the client environment without going through a virus-checking firewall. This imposed various restrictions:

1) It prevented any executable, tarball etc from being downloaded. Basically if it was in a useful file format it was no bueno.

2) It prevented any file over a certain size from being downloaded. If it was over the size, the firewall would just cut the connection.

Time to get the unix toolset out and get to work. I realised first that I could easily get around #2 by slicing the file into chunks, downloading each chunk and then reassembling on the client side

#1 was a bit more tricky. The first thing I tried was encrypting the file. This would theoretically mean the virus scanner wouldn’t be able to find any signatures of hostile file formats, but it turned out that the encryption itself made the first bit of the file predictable and so my first chunk kept getting blocked.

Soo….. I added some random noise onto the front of the file. Once I tuned the length, it meant the virus scanner didn’t understand the encrypted file so it got through.

The two resulting shellscripts (called “shred” and “unshred”) are probably my favourite ever hack. You’d run “shred” on the far side, which would take any listed input files, put them in a tarball, encrypt it, add some random noise to the front and then cut it up into chunks small enough to get through the firewall, and then on the far side you’d download them and run “unshred”, which would reverse the process.

Once we had demonstrably got our software through the firewall a few times, IT/infosec realised their objections were futile and they relented and whitelisted our upstream so we could just do a normal install for all future releases.
Sorry about that - it will be PostgreSQL licenced (as long as the rest of the crates allow it). I’ll fix it today.

This "culture war" is a very pressing threat, because a more united population can come together to demand change. Divided, they can not. Obviously this is by design. Not that the culture war does not include legitimate and important issues, but if you think for one second the ruling class who orchestrate wars and interventions that kill millions of people care even in the slightest bit about whether commoners can have abortions or what bathrooms they can use, I have a bridge to sell you.

Nobody has profiteered more from petroleum extraction and other environmental destruction over the centuries than this same ruling class. And despite a large majority of voters even in the US wanting more action on climate change, somehow very little meaningful is actually done about it. That must be all just a coincidence though, the actual people blocking climate action are a shadowy cabal of unemployed coal miner rednecks in West Virginia who actually run the world.
DAMN bad news.

Why the Prince Rupert Drop Is So Strong – Stronger Than a Bullet?
So you discovered the well known problem in "IoT" that SD cards should never be used for filesystems that are online 100% of the time?

I think the parent views on storage is still valid. Do not boot from the RAID volume where you store many terabytes.

I usually have a small mirror SSD for the OS (like 128G or max 256G). Those drives are super cheap, easy to replace.

For the /data I usually use ZFS or mdadm + xfs. Depending on the use case (for example do you want to add more capacity later? ) you can decide.

Using SDcards for server filesystem is negligent at the very least.

Sips (of the Yogscast) is smaller compared to the today’s big names and he has no problem taking vacations or impromptu days off any time he needs to do something else.

And he always said that Twitch ended up working far better for him than YouTube ever did, since the income is more predictable, he doesn’t need to care about editing the videos or worry about demonetization.

Of course on the other end of the scale are people like Amouranth, who IIRC is not only the most watched female streamer, but also the one who streamed the most hours (at least in some given year).

So perhaps it depends whether one treats it as a job - good paying, but a normal job nonetheless - or as an opportunity to grind for a chance to earn tens of millions of dollars.
Not really similar. 10% of an interlaced image is effectively a bunch of horizontal lines. 10% of a progressive image is usually high enough fidelity to present the image in full colour - even less if you are happy with greyscale.
Notebooks are good for exploring a problem, especially questions about data. I also don't think they are great for "software engineering", but as the name suggest, they are for notes, not applications.

When developing something closer to a program, I usually write code line by line in a text editor, but basically every line has been developed in the IPython REPL.

Sometimes I write a few cells in Jupyter Notebook to learn an API. It is really nice that you can have the output of a call in cell 1 while working on refining that call in cell 2.

Once I feel I've learned what is needed, I move the code into a .py file and turn it into a script or a module.

Despite of this workflow, I haven't found a great pairing between editor and IPython REPL and I am manually copy-pasting code between the two.

RStudio works really well in this regard, but I think that the editor runs on the same R kernel instance as the program you are developing, which makes restarting R a pain.

I like those McDonald's hacks where people exploit flaws in the price calculations to get burgers for free. IIRC in one case they noticed that you could order a hamburger without patty, and it had a slightly negative price. So they ordered twenty hamburgers without patty and one normal hamburger, and got all free of charge.
Public courts are slow and inefficient by design. The principle (and practice imx) is that most cases should settle before ever taking up much of a public court's time. Making public courts faster would reduce the incentive of the parties to avoid externalising their failure to agree onto the public.

With how hard something like this is, we should be looking at the positive side.

Picovoice here solves both the issues of hotword/wake-word detection and intent extraction. This looks like something you could build on top of ARM's [keyword spotting program](https://github.com/ARM-software/ML-KWS-for-MCU) and the wake word services listed in [Rhasspy's docs](https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wake-word/#raven)

But, to implement something like this from scratch would take a good while.

Also, here are some Automatic Speech Recognition toolkits (which won't run offline on a microcontroller) out there. These are useful to pipe the data into a program that deals with intents (something like [RASA](https://rasa.com)

In the late 90-early 2000s, all the rage was PHP2/3, flash and IRC. We had a small hosting company with a friend, backed by a workstation in his room.

We would host small websites with PHP and PHPMySQL, as well as eggdrop and bouncers.

Most of these kinds of hosting were flaky and half baked at the time, and we were no exception. There was a brutal war of who would become the biggest host of egg drops and bouncers.

I'm not specially proud of it, but we did manage to find some PHP vulnerabilities on some competitor website (the typical kind at the time, where you type "?page=index.html" and that would load anything).

We managed to upload one of our PHP files on their server as an avatar on their PHPbb forum, and could then execute it with the include-from-url vuln.

We then proceeded to host eggdrops as PHP scripts on their servers that we would start by just loading the page we uploaded there.

No real harm done though, I think both us and them were just teenagers way too concerned by IRC social status :)

The fact that he was the former head of Twitter's censorship operation, that he publicly attacks Elon Musk while wrapping himself in the prestige of his former position, and that he likes to go on stage and talk about his former job.

Anyway, not sure what him wanting to be a public figure or not, even though he does, has anything to do with it. My point is just that because he is a public figure at this point, death threats are unfortunately expected. As the former head of Twitter Trust and Safety, he knows that too. So his decision to make a media story out of it is in all likelihood nothing more than him trying to get a favorable news cycle out of it.
At least with linux there's ways where you could fix that. I personally probably wouldn't as it's a hassle and my home folder is on a separate partition anyways, so a clean install doesn't lose me much.

For those interested in the how anyway: You'd boot into a liveCD, Chroot into the installs root folder, and apt-get python2.7. If removing python breaks apt there's probably some flag to apt-get to get it to poke at a not-root folder you could use. Worst case you copy the python install from the liveCD, reboot, and then fix python from the booted system using a now-working apt.
Show HN: Helm Dashboard for Kubernetes
Github Link: https://github.com/devtron-labs/helm-ui

Helm is one of the most adopted package managers for deploying applications to Kubernetes. The intuitive Helm Dashboard offers a UI-driven approach for managing the lifecycle of Helm Applications, abstracting out all the complexities and challenges.

Through the dashboard, one can:

1. Manage community and custom helm charts
2. See manifest diff of past revisions
3. Easily rollback or upgrade between different versions
4. Seamlessly integrate and deploy various charts using Chart Groups
Another possibility is just using it to capture your own play, for instance if you want to review matches later to try and analyze flaws in your game.

Avoid getting information from biased sources. Gaming communities are notoriously bad when it comes to remaining objective about topics or presenting quantitative data that can be independently verified.

>I looked, the NFL's twitch channel has 62k subscribers and hasn't streamed in months, but I didn't say "Gotcha!"

That's because NFL games aren't streamed on the NFL Twitch account, they are streamed on the following account:

https://www.twitch.tv/primevideo

Here's a source that the NFL is viewed by 10.8 million people on Twitch:

https://www.marketingdive.com/news/nfls-audience-on-twitch-l...

Relevant quote:

"Twitch received 10.8 million views for “Thursday Night Football,” for a total of 2.2 million hours viewing time, per the announcement."

Your false assertion about the NFL's Twitch channel is once again, comically false and goes to show that you simply do not understand how to properly research this topic, getting your information from biased sources and based on people's feelings instead of looking up authoritative sources that can be quantifiably verified.

I would advise that you refrain from taking that biased misinformation and spreading it further.

>in either case it hardly seems relevant to this discussion.

Then why did you bring it up? If it was never relevant, why did you decide to waste both of our time by making an issue out of it? This is what I mean about discussing things in good faith, you placed the burden on me to look up information that you sought, and then when I point it out and it turns out that the NFL is wildly popular on Twitch getting 10s of millions of views, you decide to do a 180 and declare that it's not relevant.
You can always just get a job later in that case.

"... and a governess and key instructors."

If your family was wealthy enough for you to be economically inactive as a youth, and to pay for said governess and instructors.

Higher education was for the rich, too. As you said, a different purpose, mostly social (definitely social for the wealthy young women).

All those little, often church-supported, colleges and land-grant state universities and teachers' colleges that sprang up all over the US in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? That was a revolution: higher education for the non-rich, and mostly for practical purposes.
Oh I just thought of another one. I was working at a client and it was going pretty well until we did a demo to a pretty quantitively aware person and he asked whether our thing (a time-series analysis and reporting tool basically) did linear algebra. Well it didn’t, and he was pretty sarcastic about that.

So I went back to my hotel room, put on some coffee and spent most of the night writing a bunch of boilerplate code wiring in various methods in apache commons math. The next day I had another meeting with him to discuss something. I chose as an example a function we had quickly knocked up that did a bunch of matrix math. “I thought you said it didn’t do linear algebra?” He said. Felt pretty good to say “Yeah that was yesterday. I just added it”.
