They overlap. Wikidata uses generated URIs for entities, properties, etc. that are not human readable readable; they can be resolved by hovering the mouse cursor on the SPARQL endpoint web app or add a pattern to get the label for these URIs.

Many of the Knowledge Graph people who I have worked with clearly prefer Wikidata but I am in the other camp: I find it so much easier using the human-readable meaningful URIs for entities, properties, etc. in DBPedia. Yesterday I wrote SPARQL queries for both DBPedia and Wikipedia.
These computational advances in AI are good. However, I am still waiting for AI to "synthesize" knowledge that is as yet undiscovered through a combination of theorem proving, reasoning, AI search techniques and so on.

It is not just AI "explainability" but techniques for exploration and fact-finding. For eg: could an AI system prove or disprove P=NP.

It is a little premature to dismiss human endeavor while such large gaps in our epistemic knowledge exist.
Show HN: Big Clock
It's just a clock, but BIG. Also includes a stopwatch and a timer.

I needed a web-based fullscreen clock but all the ones I could find were either ugly, filled with advertising, or way too bloated for my tastes. So I built my own.

The clocks are big, but the pages are ultra-minimal: one request and less than 16 kB each. They are coded in plain vanilla JS (ES 5) and CSS (2.1), and designed specifically to work on older devices. They should work back to IE7, though I’ve only test on virtual machines.

I disagree, nobody is entitled to my time. I think exercising control over your social interaction is really the only way to stay healthy. If you plug into the matrix and just consume everything thrown at you, you'll surely be overwhelmed as attacks are ifninitely cheaper than rebutals.

Dark matter appears to be a very weakly interacting fluid, completely unsuitable for developing any kind of structure at the local level. Dark energy is, well, energy. Also incapable of local structure. I’m afraid conventional matter it is.
It's impossible to have a pristine signal when talking about film and tv. Having to transmit over wires and having to go from analog to digital will introduce quantization noise. Additionally raw capture and playback isn't an option because of transmission bandwidth limitations. And displays aren't in 12bit color depth, the most obvious visual example of poor quantization is color banding. While less obvious, film grain does the same for increasing the perceived texture. The quantization errors observable in video are different than in audio and I was trying to make an analogy that feels intuitive. I think the street picture in this link is helpful.

Skill development- while I really respect people who develop fully to principal or higher, I just can't see myself doing that. And the higher titles bring higher stress that just isn't worth it to me.

Monetary - the benefit from more money becomes negligable as you go up the income scale. Although being a billionaire would be different.

Altruistic missions - I considered this actually, but then realized the cost of failure is much higher. If I cause an outage in big tech, they lose millions of ad dollars, who cares. But outages or delays in nonprofits can cost lives or livelihoods, and that's much scarier.

At Burning Man I met a guy who was making...something...by drilling into a big piece of wood while his hand was on the other side of the wood. I told him he shouldn't have his hand in the path of the drill.

"You can't tell me what to do!"

That was a powerful lesson on the American view of personal liberty.

At a big sailing regatta for children (about 100 boats), I saw kids climbing onto a coach boat from the rear with the engine running (in neutral). Feet next to the propeller, even using the prop shaft housing as a foothold. I went over and quietly asked the coach boat driver to turn the engine off. She did, but with the most dismissive eye roll I've ever seen, and some comment about this is how they always do it.

Unlike the Burning Man guy, who I guess had a point that he was free to injure himself if he wanted to, perhaps I should have taken the boat situation to a higher authority. Dumb stuff is happening on boats constantly, but the potential to grievously harm children who wouldn't see it coming makes things different.
> And yet, regulators across the world … allow its continued sale and use.

Well, for one thing, regulators generally don’t “allow sales” but disallow things for various reasons.

By this logic the continued sale and use of tobacco is perfectly safe because the regulators allow it.
I had an example on my blog about 10 years ago blending OpenCyc as OWL/RDF with SPARQL queries to DBPedia (using SERVICE operator). At least for me, this is at best a clumsy process.
I think what Java got wrong was allowing catching unchecked exceptions. If Java had only allowed recovering from checked exceptions, it would have been a very similar experience to Rust's Result and panic.

Instead, the trend was to avoid using checked exceptions at all, which perpetuated the crazy situation we're in where library code can suddenly abort and the author shrugs and says "shoulda read the docs".
Terrible graphics, laggy janky games, and non stop security vulnerabilities. Don't miss it. The worst was when business websites used it.
I admit that is technically true, but due to their use of the word “cratered”, I was reading the phrase to mean that relatively large amounts of people have decided to no longer work (outside of those who have decided to no longer work due to aging out).

Of course, prices are set at the margin, and so if hotels (and other businesses like restaurants and retail) were used to paying the lowest pay to quality of life at work ratio, then I guess it would be accurate to say their problem is a couple million people decided to no longer work, because presumably a greater proportion of those who decided to no longer work would have been from these least desirable to work in businesses.

Not at all. Catholic schools are not even remotely independent of the church despite what you seem to think, and therefore share the same systemic problems.
What was it up from? If for example they offered the US federal minimum wage in 2020, and the shift hours were unreliable and inflexible, then I could imagine even an extra 25% wouldn't make it worthwhile.

The article says up from $10. I don't know whether that's a decent wage in the US, but it sounds low and $16 is just barely above the proposed compromise new US minimum wage figure, so it sounds not-hellish but not "do it just for the money" level.

Also, I noticed they said "25%" but $10 to $16 is 60%, and if you're griping and can say "we raised by 60% and nobody bit!", then you say that instead of "we raised by over 25% and nobody bit!". So I'm skeptical of the figures - maybe that 60% is best-case or something, and most people are offered $12.50 or something.
I'm having trouble finding the supposed issue with the meta analysis[0] cited in this article which finds that by excluding smokers there actualy is a corelation between obesity and mortality.

The auhtor claims this is wrong because "238 of the 239 data sets used by the GBMC were previously known to the senior author" but by the authors own admition "By repeating the MEDLINE search, we identified six eligible data sets that were not included by the GBMC, with two shown as unable to obtain data and the remainder apparently overlooked" and these papers were seemingly published after the meta analyists had created their dataset.

That meta-alalysis, by the author's admition, a "highly visible publication" which was "authored by a writing committee of 61 distinguished epidemiologists and included over 500 collaborators" has over 2,000 citations, yet the author's three responses to it in the OP are self citations. Certainly others should find the mistake?

Additionaly, not considered by the OP is healthcare cushioning the danger of obesity:

>People with obesity experienced a statistically significant twofold increase in average direct healthcare costs per year (EUR 5,934), compared with controls (EUR 2,788) and had statistically significantly higher indirect costs compared to controls[1]

If costs were kept the same between obese and normal weight, mortality would almost certainly increase even further.

I think safety is the responsibility of everyone in those situations and you did the right thing by speaking up.
Because your time and attention are limited. You can learn all aspects of software engineering, but to what purpose? As a data scientist, you are not spending time understanding the data, spending time with business to understand the problem and come up with the right objective functions to optimize for, you are probably not being a data scientist.

The latter. High explosives come with the oxidant built-in, and the reaction propagates faster than the speed of sound.
I find the reaction to Chatbot et al somewhat like a prism to the thought of the people who pose the questions and how they interpret the results. GPT-3 is amazing in its ability to generate coherent grammar based on petabytes of ‘screenscraped’ Internet content… but looking for wisdom from it is somewhere between Magic 8 Ball and Ouija boards imo …
Sorry but no. They absolutely know what they were doing was wrong. They just felt right about it. Don't make excuses for white collar criminals.
As another learning resource, check out my Compiler Adventures blog series where we implement an optimizing compiler from scratch in Rust. Every episode in the series describes and implements a new optimization, like no-op elimination (ep. 1), constant propagation (ep. 2), value numbering (ep. 3), value range analysis (ep. 4, coming out in early January), etc.

> The fediverse implicitly asks the question: what if that assumption is wrong?

Yep. And I and maybe others are answering that question: Nope, we want a single namespace. And then fediverse proponents pop up to tell us actually we're wrong about what we want.

The primary thing I want from social media is algorithmic discovery. I love bumping into cool, interesting people I wouldn't have encountered otherwise. With the fediverse I can't even reliably see the past posts of someone I follow if they're on a different server.
David Friehling was up for 100 years for the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme but because of cooperation did not serve any time in prison IIRC, just supervised release or home detention.
The "best school" reputation was built over many years. The woke mismanagement is recent. It's actually a pretty easy reconciliation but I admit I have some context on TJ.
I think you’re hung up on the number of years thing. The whole reason you cooperate is to get a reduced sentence. So of course that’s part of the deal. That’s the point of it. The formal agreement isn’t going to spell out “we will recommend X years” for a lot of reasons. First, what if she doesn’t cooperate? Or worse, lies and impedes the prosecution? More importantly, having a set-in-stone agreement like that for a specified number of years undermines your witness. And from the government’s perspective that’s the whole reason they do the deal: to have a witness.

Imagine Caroline Ellison on the witness stand. “Ms. Ellison you were looking at charges that could bring 110 years of prison or more, is that correct? And how many years did the prosecutor’s office agree to recommend instead in exchange for your testimony today?” There’s really no good answer, is there? The best answer your witness can give in that situation is something along the lines of “I’m cooperating with the hopes that the prosecution will recommend leniency to the court at my sentencing.” So that’s exactly the situation they’ve put her in. They’re under no obligation, per the agreement, but it’s absolutely on the table. And, assuming she holds up her end of the bargain, they will definitely file a motion with the court to have her sentence drastically reduced. Although the judge will be free to ignore it.

That's not at all what OP said:

> Nothing here happened on a blockchain. If it had there wouldn't have been problems.

My response addresses their point exactly. FTT being on the blockchain did not solve the problems, and she is specifically being charged with fraudulent on-chain activity (not just fraud on the edges).

As for the protocols, I don't blame the technology, I blame the culture. The culture that surrounds crypto is uniquely prone to perpetuating scams. That's not the fault of the technologists who started the movement, it's what happened when crypto became a gold rush.
For anyone paying their taxes already, nothing changes other than getting a 1099-K form they didn't get before. And if you "send money" but don't flag it as a "sale", then no 1099-K generated.

For example I pay my rent through Venmo to my landlord. The IRS will be able to see the rental income on Schedule E.

But I do agree it's going to be near impossible for the IRS to reconcile it consider things will be flagged as "sales" that really aren't. And if you lend you friend $600 in cash, and they repay you through Venmo, what do you do? You ignore the 1099-K, and if the IRS comes knocking, you tell them it wasn't business income.

My guess is that it'll go the way of FBARs for foreign bank accounts. The system is such a mess, so inaccurate, that it'll just collect data the IRS can't really do much with unless they audit someone and choose to pull the data and compare to the return.
So you think you know DynamoDB?
That's exactly it. I'm torn between these two feelings, that I must do something meaningful AND it must pay at least a little bit, or have potential of a big payout.

Mentally I lean towards doing something meaningful. But society is conditioned to think if something doesnt pay, it's worthless. Of course I know it can't be true, with open source work and so much art and writing done just for the creator. But it's hard to shake that thought.

Capture One does sell perpetual licenses, so I guess it depends on how often you upgrade.

Regardless, I tried Capture One and Lightroom Classic side by side, and I liked Capture One a lot better. Even though it is more expensive for people who intend to upgrade regularly, it is worth every penny in my opinion, but I also think a lot of people will be able to get along fine on the freeware license. Capture One handled importing new batches of photos surprisingly better than Lightroom Classic, which actually locked up for long periods of time, and all sorts of other operations seemed faster, as if the underlying engine was not ancient. I don't remember all the details as I did this comparison about a year ago. I did not consider Lightroom CC to be a valid option for various reasons.

I also strongly appreciate being able to have a perpetual license, instead of being forced to subscribe for the rest of my life if I want to be able to continue accessing all of my RAWs with the adjustments I make, and not just the exported photos.

The one thing I disliked about both Capture One and Lightroom at the time is that neither supported proper, end-to-end HDR workflows. I have HDR displays. The RAW files contain a stunning amount of dynamic range. Even the common iPhone captures HDR photos (and I don't just mean HDR processing that gets stuffed into an 8-bit JPEG, I mean an actual HDR photo in 10-bit HEIF with an HDR curve). I want to be able to edit and view my RAW photos with extended dynamic range, not be limited to viewing an 8-bit SDR image while editing, and not be limited to exporting crappy 8-bit JPEGs that are missing so much dynamic range (or gargantuan TIFF files that have limited use cases). Adobe has started adding some HDR stuff this year, and that's the only thing Adobe offers that Capture One lacks that I'm even remotely interested in.

Incidentally, I'm also upset that Chrome removed JPEG XL, which promises to be a common format with proper HDR support.
it's exactly because they're so privileged. If you ever see posh people being arrested for incredibly stupid white collar crime it's usually because they live on the assumption that nothing is ever so serious that someone can't bail you out of.
That is fair. Credit to the Chrome and Firefox teams that this is becoming less an issue over the last few years.
If you're referring to the scientific review process, the title of the actual article is even more opaque:

If you're referring to HN, there is no formal review process — it's just upvoting/flagging. If a title issue is caught early enough, the submitter can change it. Sometimes @dang comes in and cleans things up.
... you don't think changing things like saturation affects viewing experience in a meaningful way???

Jesus. Every engineer who's worked on color implementation just choked on their drink.

You can literally scroll down a little further and find blog posts on how iMessage green vs blue saturation creates tiny changes in readability. The human experience matters a lot more than what engineers (who can't tell apart two shades of women's fingernail polish) decides matters.
Many recent shows on Netflix have shots full of digital noise, and I read on HN that’s because of using RED cameras.
Interesting - the cumulative 13F valuation does add up to ~$57M which is their current 'marketable securities". Its quite surprising that such assets show up on the balance sheet as current cash.
It looks like the cheapest rates per state are a fare bit cheaper. There might be other reasons besides safety like repair cost/parts availability. How much damage they cause (usually a function of weight and speed) is generally factored in, too.

Still high, though.
Um what. Last I checked Asians were definitely a racial minority in America. Saying they're not minorities because they're a majority of TJ is like saying Blacks aren't minorities because they're a majority in Harlem. It denies their lived experiences outside a very specific bubble.
