Except for having nothing to do with how GPS works. The satellites essentially broadcast what time it is and your reciever uses the delay between broadcast and reception to calculate where/when it is.

I think the person you're responding to is being facetious.

Either way, it doesn't matter: the website in question is a public information page, not a medical reference. The CDC updated it because it was incorrect, and the timing of their update makes perfect sense given the public's confusion (and predation around that confusion).

Everybody agrees counting lines of code is a bad idea to measure progress in programming.

Now you say measuring the money it makes is the way to go.

Money is not the goal. Money is just another tool. Like VSCode.
> But maximizing log-return was proven by Kelly to be optimal, and you don't need to further penalize volatility.

This is what I'm questioning. We do need to further penalize volatility, if that is our preference.

The criteria is optimal in the sense of greatest expected return, in the limit of infinite number of bets. But we don't make infinite numbers of bets, and the variance matters.

Any truly optimal strategy has to factor in subjective preferences.

Example: We play a game where you are ill and need to pay for medical treatment. At the beginning of the game you obtain a sum of money exactly enough to pay for the treatment. Then you are allowed to place (a finite number of) bets in some gambling, possibly increasing your payoff, or losing part of it. I'd argue that in this scenario the "optimal" strategy is not playing, no matter what criteria is used to select the size of the bets.
Why, as a society, do we choose to privilege certain beliefs, but only as long as they fall under the category of "religion"?
Yeah, I agree. I do think Microsoft is capable of messing it up and blowing their first mover advantage. They have messed a whole lot of things up over the years. But they haven't messed up Github, VS Code, Typescript, several other things (IMO anyway).

It'll be interesting to see how hard they try to stick to the Bing vision versus what they should do, which is replace it with something conversational.
It is better at doing "translations" from one "language" to another "language". While it does know stuff and can answer questions about what it knows, that isn't its strength.

If you can do "here is the structured data, summarize it and make sure to present this information" it can do that quite well.

So far I've played with GPT doing a zero shot classification of HN titles and CSV hourly weather data to summary. In each case, it has done quite well.

Neither of those are things about what it "knows."

I'm not the right person to ask about this, but there's a list on the Nonbinary wiki[0]. (Remember to check the Further reading and References sections; Nonbinary wiki articles can be a bit hit-or-miss.)

Some of them "don't count" from a "sexuality/gender distinction" perspective, but that philosophy isn't universal in cultural studies, and I think it's starting to become less universal in mainstream feminism.

> And so here my initial comment is flagged as well, apparently from the other side.

So was mine – and a really trollish one's been vouched for, too. *shrug* That's just how these things go.

> Is there really no more middle ground?

Sure there is.

• Be slightly kinder than you have to.

• Don't get famous, and especially don't get internet famous.

You're doing it right already. I like to think I'm doing it right (but I think I'm getting into too many internet arguments for that).

> This is my problem with this whole debate, it polarizes and increases the rifts in society.

The whole "debate" is recent, and artificial; I suspect it only exists to create justification for the claim that trans rights are "controversial" (despite widespread public support in places like the UK).

Don't let yourself get sucked in. So long as you're not insisting when people say they don't want to engage[1] (even when they're being rude and you're being polite – remember, you might be the fifth person this week, and the other four might've been trolling bigots), and so long as you're not playing Devil's Advocate[2] or poking holes / finding gotchas, it's fine to ask questions. (If you're seeing "gotchas", it usually means that there's a drastic difference between your understanding of the subject matter and the understanding of whoever you're listening to.)

Oh, and take things critically. Much feminist discourse online is very ill-informed, and I'm no exception. There are people who say Always Do X because ABC, or Never Do Y because DEF – but they're talking about their own experiences, and their reasoning might not apply universally. Don't mistake confidence for competence, and don't dismiss somebody just because they're not using the "right words" for things.

Question your confidence, but don't shy overmuch away from questioning other people's: here, asking for reasoning is a much better approach than telling people they're wrong. If it's necessary to do so, emphasise why you don't understand (e.g. "My native language barely has gendered adjective declension; could you give some more examples?"), rather than that you don't understand (e.g. "why does it matter? I still don't get it").

Take this advice critically, too.

Those millions of dollars have already been spent. For example the P4 [1] language (a HDL language) and the Tofino 3 chip. It started out as FPGA (NetFPGA) to do programmable packet routing at linespeed. You now have the P4 language to define your packet routers with and generate your code. Ten years later we have 25 Tbps software defined packet routers.

I think that's an unfair and fundamentally false representation of the discussion on that issue. But I won't further comment on it here.
CGI can be used for high performance sites/routes when used with HTTP caching. Though CGI leaves response time on the table by taking arguments via the environment such that you can't start/pool CGI processes before requests are arriving.

FastCGI needs multiplexed transport of HTTP traffic in to and out of a single process, changing code complexity drastically and taxing memory management. It's far from keeping CGI's simplicity.

Yes really, to quote my link:

> PCR on genomic DNA of Huh7 cells exposed to BNT162b2 amplified the DNA sequence unique to BNT162b2. Our results indicate a fast up-take of BNT162b2 into human liver cell line Huh7, leading to changes in LINE-1 expression and distribution. We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.

They showed it actually happening in extracted human liver cells in a lab, not in a live human. That would be the next step. But in the meantime the "genomic DNA" part does sound like it made a permanent change to those cells.
Tell HN: Check your HERE transaction counts and bills
We are a small startup and we rely on Google and HERE for providing routing services. It has happened 3 times so far that transactions count on HERE dashboard is wrong and as a result of that we got inflated bills which we had to pay. Each time wrong counts happened, we opened a support ticket. Each time HERE acknowledged that they got the counts wrong blaming a bug on their end which they promised to fix but never fixed. If you are using their APIs, keep track of reported transactions on their dashboard and your bills.
I've been wanting to write about this for a long time - I've got a lot of specific advice for going from idea to revenue producing MVP that you can run marketing tests and get marketing data out of.

The Dev Cycle Portion
Nontechnical founders get in this trap where they have 1,000 feature ideas. I think to get software out the door quickly you have to go through a cutting cycle to minimize dev time and time to market - details in the post.

The Marketing Test Portion
I included specific recommendation for the SaaS / App marketing tests that you won't realize you have until you try to do it (hopefully this post will save somebody from nonstop Googling deciding how to do a first marketing test).
You make an excellent point, there's a major oversight in my original post.

The distortion lens of media and social media is a thing. The real world and its people are vastly different from what one might read online. Yet an increasing amount of people barely interact with the real world and real people, hence they internalize the doom and gloom as if it is reality.
Ask HN: Should I or any Google Ads user ever take legal action against Google?
Our Google payment profile got flagged by an automated system. We later tried to reinstate it and succeeded. The problem is that the whole process took nearly a whole month, and we lost a meaningful amount of revenue due to this (about 20 days without ads). It's one thing if it's only bad support (and the support was unbelievably bad), but in our case, Google had introduced some technical problems to our account when we were migrating from a normal @gmail.com-account to a business account with a custom domain. If we did everything Google Support, Google Help Sites and all the Suspension-UI-Elements were telling us, then we wouldn't ever get our account back if no one would intervene.

In detail:
(see comment)

This whole nightmare was caused, because:
- Googles account transformation process leads to broken access rights
- Google allowed us to use a payment profile which we somehow can't access / probably shouldn't be even using according to their TOS, because we can't keep the address up to date, etc., but they still reinstated admin access to the ads profile and let us happily spend money over years
- Google didn't invest enough resources in a robust and correct UI regarding support forms / tickets / suspension UI elements / etc. The presented information was false and misleading. Just check out the account recovery form, it's not even clear that it is about unblocking payment profiles, and it's not clear if you unblock all of them or only some
- Google support ignored a bunch of our support requests, like "Is it possible to get access to the payment profile of our ads account?" and even the account verification form tickets ended up just disappearing
- Google support was basically completely clueless what to do, what's going on, not capable of explaining why it takes so long or what the problem is, and the next steps were always the same, we made 3-4 full circles with over 10 tickets, and they were constantly making false promises

The other stuff:
- They have a monopoly
- We must use them. We are significantly less competitive in our industry if we don't.
- Google support admitted to us that they can't prevent the same thing from happening again, because their automated flagging process could kick in anytime

This was the most dystopian thing I ever experienced, we heavily rely on Google Ads to be able to pay salaries and rent on time (although this is very soon changing). So we tried to communicate as professional, calm and clear as possible, but it didn't help much. How much sense does it make to take legal action against Google? How will they react? Could they block our accounts immediately? What do you think would happen if our lawyer takes action?
I worked for a startup for a few years that near the end, started bleeding (and firing) employees while added six more C-levels. For a while, they stopped coming into the office because they were blowing company money on lunches and wooing the same investor over and over. It was awful overall and I'm glad to be gone, but just like you say, that stretch where it was just developers in the office was by far the most productive. A major reason why is that we didn't get pulled off work to do fiddly little pet projects for our bosses.

A 'free-trial' that requires a Credit Card number is not a 'free-trial'.

Do some extra programming to ensure that the free-trial stops working on the target computer after a set time or number of uses*, and throws up a notification that the 'free-trial' has been used for X number of times or for X number of days and won't be available any more.

Your clients are then free to choose whether to buy your full system or try out some other system. This model is similar to what some News websites do. IIRC, "The New York Times".

* I believe a set number of uses is more useful than a set number of days. Some clients won't use the app every day, and at the end of a month (say), may only have used the app twice and so haven't got a worthwhile feeling of its value.
>Not bad!

Its terrible. This is totally not how GPS works, I.E. the terminal never sends a message to the satellite. This is the danger of early LLMs, a large amount of their output is false and there is no way to tell unless you are already an expert.

This makes them basically useless except for a toy.
Feedback loops definitely exist for government: contracts are cut or sent to other companies, agency heads are grilled by Congress and replaced, budgets are cut / reallocated, entire agencies are combined or split apart, and politicians win or lose elections. They're not necessarily as effective as we'd like but they certainly exist.
I'm curious if you actually understand what those AI models the iPhone is using DO?

It looks at the noisy pixels (those that aren't mapping to the rest of the area) and decides, based on AI modeling using "attractive photos" in their dataset, what those pixels should be so the image maps to those attractive images.

This can result in all kinds of suboptimal outcomes if you want a specific look other than that, whether that be as true to life as you can get it or something entirely different.

> I’m not sure how real Twitter works but I think based on Elon’s whiteboard photo and some tweets I’ve seen by Twitter (ex-)employees it seems to be mostly the first approach using fast custom caches/databases and maybe parallelization to make the merge retrievals fast enough.

I think Twitter does (or at some point did) use a combination of the first and second approach. The vast majority of tweets used the first approach, but tweets from accounts with a certain threshold of followers used the second approach.

In the public schools, there is zero incentive to educate the kids. That doesn't bring in more money. Failing to educate brings in more money, after all, the laundry list of excuses are all there to justify more money.

That depends. If you would use our asynchronous runtime reconfigurable array called Morphle Logic [1] instead of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), you could program this hardware Twitter in a 1000 hours and have it run at 50 Tbps.

I did not said that you advocated "ignoring accidents". You was against regulation against making it safer, with argument that punishing those who make mistakes or cause accidents harder is better option.

No need, for those you can display a "Twitter is experiencing issues" or something similar. That will encourage the user to return to the main app and enjoying infinite scroll.
Twitter's "linked" tweets seems to be strangely unattached from context.

What I mean is, Twitter seems to be processing data based on whatever it is in the tweet and doesn't maintain some grand coherent database.

So I changed my Twitter handle and opened a new account with my original Twitter handle and to my surprise, I was receiving notifications of engagement with tweets my old account sent previously.

I also heard that a method for spamming Twitter trending topics is to send tweets and delete them quickly.

My impression is that Twitter is big on real time processing. They definitely don't search the entire database for #YOLO tweets, instead they seem to be searching the almost-live stuff and some archived stuff(probably ranked and saved as noteworthy tweets or something).
