Nah, just does not support automatic parallelization of the dependency graph. This is a deal breaker for me. Also I'm not a huge fun of a yet another built-in language that tries to mimic a full-featured programming language.

I've been using it for a while and it's pretty flexible:

- dependencies
- parallelism
- programmatically generated tasks (since the config file is just a Python file)
- "udf" to specify when a task is up-to-date and can be skipped

Ask HN: Why do young Americans prefer pro crypto/stocks to pro sports betting?
Edit: Speaking for pro crypto / stock traders and pro sports gamblers in this thread.

I co-run a sports betting syndicate out of Hong Kong, we are not the biggest nor the best but been around long enough to know the industry inside out.

We were talking the other day how little interest for serious professional sports betting there is among young Americans despite compared to their Russian/Greek/Chinese/SE Asian counterparts.

Biggest reason has to be the federal ban on sports betting until 2018 in the US but even after taking that into account seems that stocks and crypto are just on a different level.

I was acquainted with over a dozen pro US sports bettors up until a few years ago and pretty much everyone of them took the stocks/crypto route and quit the sports betting industry at some point.

It's a very specific industry where a profitable model means jack shit if you're not able to place the desired bets for various seasons (illegal state, your account got limited, whatever).

That being said, best agents/brokers/providers are able to place 5 digit bets even on the most absurd sports/events possible.

Basically want to hear what is keeping young, tech savvy and well educated Americans (mostly quants but also similar fields) from earning money on sports betting?

Likewise, if you have any questions or want to partner up on some projects, happy to answer them here or at awoodenbox@proton.me.
How are they supposed to colloborate of these without doing some of these on their own?
>I feel like Pulumi takes the best of the two tools and has a really great developer experience. There is a little bit of a learning curve with Pulumi, and you give up some of the simplicity of Terraform.

I'm familiar with Terraform, and generally like it compared to AWS Cloudformation, but do have some gripes. I'm not familiar with Pulumi - what have other people experienced with it? Do you like it better?

Higher ups from these companies complain about lack of "high IQ" talent yet don't want to budge on offering competitive salaries. I have a smart friend who worked for ASML as a contractor, and they would give him empty promises of bringing him on full time, as if he still needed to prove himself despite being over qualified.

Complete clownshow from these upper managers. If workers aren't entitled to a job, you're not entitled to high IQ talent, dumbasses!
I don't think we CAN downvote posts, can we? Only comments, I think. Pity, because other people have upvoted you and I'd like to help.
Yeah, 2 bit vs 4 bit is my bad. It doesn't really change much though, except to strengthen the conclusion and just makes gzip's 10:1 compression ratio even less impressive.

I'm counting ASCII as 8 bits because it's still stored as 8 bits regardless of whether you only use 7 of them.
Wow, that is dehumanizing. This is the kind of thing that really drives home our Puritan roots. It's like we've decided that merely locking people behind bars isn't good enough, we need to make sure that every moment is hell.

I'm a pretty big introvert, and even I would probably have at least considered going with them to a party. And one of my reasons would not have been "they might try to rob me". So I think you're putting far too much blame on yourself.
People at work, the gym, bar, wherever you go.

I'm honestly never sure how to feel about these things.

One the one hand, this is incredible, it's the future, and it's the sort of thing I would read about in sci-fi books as a kid and go "There's no way I'm alive to see this sort of thing for myself."

But on the other, I can't help but feel like this is diluting the spirit of creativity. I've done a little bit of toying around with ml, and I'm not sure I consider a probability network like that a real source of creativity.

And finally, the fact that this book is being monetized doesn't sit with me well. The characters are public domain, and the prompter has every right to do this, it just makes me feel bad for authors in the future. It's probably about to get even harder to publish a book from here on out.
Really? Perhaps they updated it, because I got "likely human generated" for the parent article.

There is this thing called "Organteq". It's made by mad scientists (well, mathematicians and engineers) from France and is based on physical modelling. Look it up, it's great!
Exactly my conclusion as well.

The interesting and challenging aspect of the essentialist position is understanding and believing in change. Past performance is not guarantee of future performance, even for the material determinist, as the world is not static.

Maybe you have never been to the gym, but today could be the first day. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what induced the change, but if you will fight it. In this way, I think that determinism is best paired with a optimistic and charitable perspective.

Most people have good intentions. I think that usually the biggest difference between those who act them out and those who don't is their essential optimism or pessimism. To that end, I try to encourage more optimism.
I don't disagree with this nominally, but "the market can remain irrational longer then you remain solvent" has been proven ongoingly true. Ultimately you're trying to time the market and you are paying for the privilege of doing so.
If the threat of using the builder's remedy successfully gets cities to change behavior, isn't that working correctly despite no "builder's remedy project breaking ground"?

They're already not even commenting on the breach, and it's not as visible to the GP as the equifax leak a few years ago by the "state-sponsored chinese hackers". So I agree, very likely to result in nothing.

Crypto Startup Funding Falls to Lowest Level in Almost Two Years
This reminds me of a time when I went to the grand canyon with some buddies. We stayed there for a few days. Then made the drive back to the airport to fly home

Along the way to the airport some asshat setup traps along the highway. These were boulders the size of soccer balls scattered along the highway. We don't see these coming as there's a car in front of us

Next thing you know that car in front is veering out of control. One of those boulders that hit his tires flies off towards us, but luckily we veer and it misses. That could've easily broken the windshield and killed one of my friends.

We end up having another boulder on the highway that pops one of our tires, and we veer out of control.

Had there been a semi on the highway, or we had veered off in the opposite lane, we could've all died that day. Luckily this wasn't the case

Our car was the 2nd of 3 cars that got into a boulder accident

We later filed a police report to the person who setup traps on the highway. I got a letter in the mail he went to served a year in jail for this
It's the volts that jolt, but the mills that kill
Not "obscenely difficult and completely inscrutable". This is a massive exaggeration. Hardware wallets are on par with changing a car tire, filing a tax return, installing an operation system or navigating a foreign subway. Any competent person who can follow directions will be fine.

> would it be feasible to include the compression dictionary along w/ the data

In theoretical terms (in particular Kolmogorov-complexity perspective), I believe the inclusion of a dictionary wouldn't help, it would strictly increase size. It can help (specially from a Shannon information perspective) if the compression is too computationally demanding to build the data model (which is kind of what all compressors do); but it almost certainly doesn't help in the case of something as small as an URL. But then it's possible to just pack a common compressor with the website (and just refer to it with a version code).

I think the web in general would benefit greatly from some kind of standard compression libraries. Compression tends to have a significant cold start cost to work well, if that were mitigated certainly something like an url could be far shorter.

I believe HTTP2 has header compression (RFC 7541)[1] with 'static tables', which seems to be a form of dictionary, but surprisingly to me no html compression with such shared dictionaries. There is caching libraries (unfortunately cross-domain caching seems to be deprecated[2] due to security concerns) I believe which helps in other ways, but I think a true dictionary-style compressor would bring huge bandwidth savings.

Major web entities should get together to develop those standard dictionaries (and which algorithms to use them with), so they are reasonably fair for everyone (maybe even language specific dictionaries should be used).

Security seems indeed a concern, but I think the key would be carefully preventing that a content were decoded with the incorrect dictionary (meaning the server could serve a different web page than the standard decompression) -- but overall it doesn't seem like a big issue (similar to cache, less problematic than cross-domain caching).

In the future maybe even one of those fancy neural network (or otherwise machine learning inspired) methods could be an option, specially useful for highly bandwidth constrained like rural or satellite internet (although of course performance is always a priority with mobile devices being major users).

There's no shame in this and it's ridiculously common. You have to tell your boss, who clearly values you, but first decide whether you want to try to fix this yourself or you want your boss to fix it.

Fix it yourself: you stay in roughly your current position but you hire someone to take on the tasks you don't like. Sort of like an assistant manager or whatever you want to call it. It needs to be someone with some technical and some managerial skills. This approach will still leave you with some stress and responsibility though.

Have your boss fix it: say you're a great developer but a mediocre manager, and everyone will be happier and more productive if they find someone else to take on this role. You can help interview for the role, or suggest someone else in the company for it. You'll remain a senior technical leader but will relinquish control and responsibility.

> I don't like sitting with someone for a couple hours to explains how I'd like things done, or having to fix something they've done wrong.

I don't think you'll want to give this part up completely though. If you don't do this, eventually the code base will become full of code you don't like, and even though you're back to the work you like, your technical satisfaction will decrease.

I don't think cheaters will use any text from ChatGPT verbatim. The majority of "cheating" is going to be similar to how students use Wikipedia as a reference.

This might be useful to filter spam from places that initially got bombarded, like stack overflow. I agree with other comments, it's hard to judge the value of this tool without false positive/negative stats. The output isn't completely deterministic though so I wonder how "certain" this tool can be.
Basically, develop a MVP and monetize it. I had many small projects get bought out by bigger companies which led me into a comfortable dev / product manager role for them. Crypto makes this a breeze and also it's trending so it'll lead to easier monetization.
I went through college using Wikipedia to not only make my outline but also provide citations. I'd then rewrite the articles in my own word.
This greatly reduced the amount of preparation needed prior to writing.
No shame, the majority of research papers done in unis are silly and regurgitation.
Really technology is just getting good at eliminating busy work which will be the death kneel of liberal arts.
Double rant: college is largely a waste of time for liberal arts classes.
I shouldn’t need credit monitoring in the first place. No, banks need to do their own credit monitoring i.e. monitor who they’re giving credit to. And not just that the name is credit worthy, but also that the person asking for the credit actually matches the name.

And if they don’t, banks and credit reporters don’t get to slander me until the end of time about patently false debts.
It's a cool idea, unfortunately it doesn't work very well. I ran a few generated examples through it and they came back as human.

For the statement to be true, there would have to be zero people with a median IQ, i.e., not a normal distribution but a sharply bimodal distribution.

Analogy: The median U.S. male height is 5'9". Approximately 15% of the male population is 5'9". How can you have 50% of the population <= 5'8", 50% of the population >= 5'10", and 15% of the population == 5'9"?

(This isn't a mathematical constraint on the truth of the statement, but... its truth would also depend on there being zero correlation between being low-IQ and lack of labor force participation, which I find implausible.)
> Lives south of the river, even...

So, the legends are true, and there are actually people south of the river? ;)

Seriously though, in my flat in SE15, I had some decent DSL (as good as it can be, with pitiful bandwidth but it was really stable). I planned to get Hyperoptic to lay some fibre, but then I moved to a different place with 10/10 FTTH.

My pet peeve in London is the patchiness of 4G and 5G coverage. It’s a bloody big city, and yet I regularly get no bars at all in zones 1 and 2. It’s the same for broadband: some streets are great, other very much less so.
> So it should be in a separate repo

If it's in the same repo, that means all of the features of the deployer can match the deployed code automatically - the deployer is made for and tested for that version.

With different repos, you add complexity. Now you have to support deploying multiple versions so there are more code paths and there's version checking etc. And more complexity also means you need more tests.
I totally lucked into it. I was basically a new college grad and joined just before the IPO was announced. The equity was awarded to me was pretty small compared to some of the equity earlier employees received. So the company gave me a second much bigger grant just before the IPO. I contributed little to what got the company to the IPO. Maybe a charitable way to see it would be that the company saw potential in me. And like you said, they have huge bags of money to give away anyways because of the IPO so maybe it didn't matter as much to them. I just felt super lucky and undeserving. I did end up staying a long time at the company though and I did end up doing well and contributing post IPO. But I did appreciate someone taking a chance on me initially.
I think the fact the OGL was designed by a business, not a nonprofit, and that this business' goals compete with your own, makes this situation radically different.

The FSF doesn't compete with your business and doesn't want a cut of your business.

Moreover, if you are going to use a license designed by a competing business for your main line of products (e.g. Pathfinder) you better make sure your competitor is not the sole arbiter of that license! A consortium of businesses would make more sense.
> what is keeping young, tech savvy and well educated Americans [...] from earning money on sports betting?

Probably their education and financial security? Sports betting is to some degree a predatory business, most people who still have money amidst a recession are smart enough to not bet it all away. Also, sports betting is generally seen as degenerate/a waste of time in most places I've visited, even in the south.

His interests are more in socializing and hobbies than tinkering in python, C++, or javascript. He had a few classes in js and C++ and did very well, but its not something he continues to do on his own.

I am not a developer or cs engineer, but my thought is for him to change majors if tinkering doesn't come naturally.

Knowing how biased and at times corrupt the US justice system is, I wonder what percentage of the black are innocent.

Regardless of whether students should be using ChatGPT, I strongly disagree that a ChatGPT-written essay is "plagiarism".

ChatGPT is not an author, it's a computer program. We don't expect bibliographies to include Microsoft Word, Grammerly, or iOS Keyboard Predictive Text in the list of references. If I use a piece of software to create an essay, the essay that's created belongs to me.
"Lord, will you destroy a 330MM person economy for the lack of of 60k Righteous High-IQ Workers?" I think maybe it's a parody, but if nothing else I'm not seeing any justification for a specific number of high iq individuals needed to maintain anything, much less a society or industry. An assumption that intelligent people must be necessary to run something complex, while perhaps reasonable, still doesn't imply anything about the proportions or how that happens. How would we know the organizational structure or incentives wouldn't determine things more than some fractional difference in number?
If the credit record has your SSN, a criminal can pretend to be you and borrow money in your name. Then the bank will come after you for repayment and the credit reporting company will 1) report that you have outstanding debt 2) report on any “missed payments” on this debt 3) lower your credit score because of 1 and 4) share this false info with other credit reporting agencies.

The answer is no. A life of material richness vs being poor and highly educated. Ask a postdoc this question and I bet the majority would take lifetime wealth to having to slave away in a lab.
Thank you for seeing it that way, I like to think the same. It’s so sad and disheartening to see such a lack of imagination on a forum dedicated to new ideas in tech of all places. Making better things available just begets things that can take advantage of them. We’d all still be on POTS and dialup if it weren’t for some things pushing the status quo forward and people would still say you’ll never have a use for anything faster!

You can't really replicate amber anymore. The thing about amber monitors and the others from that era, is that they were a single phosphor. Meaning, the amber was not mixed. It was a pure hue of amber with an individual pixel fully lit up.

To approximate amber now on an RGB display, you have to light up subpixels of differing values. It isn't the same because now you're mixing red and green light together.

More accurate to use just green instead because there is no light mixing with that, but it's still going to be only a subpixel and not the entire pixel. Probably easier to use silver for monochrome because then all 3 subpixels are used.

I liked amber monitors very much. They were comfortable.
