> "Dense deposit" means there's a lot of gold per tonne of not gold.

I do understand that.

In 1880s South Africa (before cyanide was used), was that remaining ore considered a dense deposit? I don't know.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_extraction#Industrial_era informs me "mining ... began to slow down ... as the new deposits being found tended to be pyritic ore. The gold was difficult to extract from such ores."

I interpret this as meaning that with the technology of the 1880s it was not considered a dense deposit, and earlier dense deposits were being exhausted.

This is tied back to your original statement "once dense deposits are exhausted extraction costs substantally increase even in the face of more sophisticated technology."

If it wasn't a dense deposit, then did the costs substantially increase with cyanidation? (Not total cost, but cost per unit production.)
An experienced engineer will know it is sometimes better to have a simple and short solution that `when bugged, you can fix it in 30 minutes` than a complete full solution that `you will never be able to find out where did it went wrong`.

Somethings the extension points you designed is never used, but it still has maintenance cost. And that really should be avoided.
There's already plenty of spare capacity in winter time that is necessary to support peak demand in summer time. Loads like electric heat pumps are also perfect candidates for automated management to smooth out load spikes, so there would be no "at the same time" to worry about.

I have a friend working in a large financial institution and by rule they are required to take 10 consecutive working days off every year when the rest of the department continues working.

The reason for this is to detect fraud and systematic issues within the company. When an employee is not on premises and locked out of the systems, any problems with their work can come out without actively investigating their conduct. It also guarantees resilience to the organisation in case the employee departures abruptly.
Almost like they gave you a bunch of capital and they want their money back. Weird huh? "mob of the fast food industry" That's funny.
Personally? One I'm interested in is a personal assistant that has access to 100+ APIs that I can command solely with text e.g ability to schedule future tasks, ability to get answers to questions around real world events and data available through APIs, ability to combine a lot of these things. What Alexa could/should have been.

Separately, examination of religious and historic tests in alternate languages providing superior transliteration and translation into english than what humans could achieve.
Oh yeah, totally forgot about them. But like you said, that's for fraud prevention more than employee sanity.
It's cheaper to have a camera read the celling photo data and combine that with it bumping into walls to find its way around than to use a sensible solution like a lidar.

It's just a cost cutting measure.
There are tools that can analyze the code automatically. They are worthless because they have no way to capture what grouping is important. There are groups of boxes in my system that need to be together because they are a subsystem. Note that when I ask a different question I will want a different grouping of boxes.
It all comes down to scale. I'm not endorsing splitting off logic into different applications for the sake of it - it is no better (usually worse) than splitting logic into separate modules for things that could've been "together". 34 microservices per just 15 people sounds like a lot of trouble unless those are really "lean", have little to no boilerplate and managing infra-side of things is automated away or outsourced to dedicated platform team.

To give a better example, recently on HN there was a discussion on self-hosting Bitwarden and its respective implementations. The official one[0] is written in C# and uses 15ish containers. The alternative one[1] is written in Rust and is a one application. I think both have their merits, since the former is used to serve possibly millions of users at this point, while the latter is best utilized in self-hosted home or SMB scenarios.

If we are briefly going to play astrology-for-engineers then I guess I'm what would be called a "stable", but I kind of take issue with the dichotomy this post paints up in order to achieve what every tech writer seems to want to achieve these days: to be the person who Named Something.

This rigid definition into two different groups of people is pretty absurd if you just spend a minute thinking about it: in what other areas is it really reasonable to define human beings into personality binaries? The common response to this is always "well, it's a scale", like when people say they're a mixture of being introverted and extroverted -- another binary that does not stand up to scrutiny and seems to push the goalposts every time you poke at it, because most people do enjoy being alone occasionally, just like most people do not improve their mental health by avoiding others.

If someone identifies as halfway between a "stable" and a "volatile", that doesn't make them "a little bit of both", it makes the scale useless, because like a flatlander in 3D space it's obviously unaware of an entire dimension of human character and psychology. And yeah, of course these terms are created to "simplify" and "further discussion", but do we really need to put on a red or blue armband before having a discussion?

The picture painted here is one of the "risk takers" and the "risk avoiders", and while it tries its best to paint a fair picture it's pretty obvious it comes from a culturally American idealization of the Maverick, the risk-taking, 48-hour-working engineer who "gets it done(tm)" -- and I get it, that is valuable, and I've worked in companies filled with people who repeat phrases like "it's the way we've always done it", just as I've worked with people who got burned out re-factoring code, didn't care to document it and then quit, all in the name of this creative explosion the post seems to imply -- but if I can take anything from this post, it's not that these are natural laws of character that will repeat until the sun goes out, but rather that anyone solidly in the "stable" or "volatile" camp needs to work on their character progression to learn more from the other camp.

Nobody is born or raised into a role and then doomed to play it out for the rest of their life, we are very complex meat-bags that change over time, especially so in collaboration with others, so for anyone who feels like trying out the "Camp A" and "Camp B" advice when resolving conflicts in your workplace or when putting together managerial strategy, I'd implore you to maybe think again and tread a bit more carefully.
If something's too easy to misuse, it's bad design.
demonstrably the policies employed by the FAA do not effectively avert risk (in software). It's more akin to risk aversion theater.

Not the person you’re responding to, but typically this mindset is about punishment more than deterrence. It won’t reduce the incidence of bad outcomes, but some people feel better knowing that judicial vengeance will be meted out.
Would this work? I can't see meaningful work being down on the dataset piecewise.

Don't you need the load the entire parameter set to backpropagate and potentially at quite high precision. Then probably load less than 8gb as typical max vram. And then finally send that all back.

I think you really need dedicated data centres if only to move the parameters around and load the entire thing at once.
There is Open Street Map (or Wikipedia for that matter). A large enough army of volunteers could produce or tag a dataset that rivals Google's data, but it would be a lot of work.

You might be right. I've talked to both sides of my family and realized I was in a tech bubble and no one knew who the hell the guy was though. I doubt the average 35+ y/o person outside of tech even knows what FTX or SBF is.

Ask HN: Script Manager for python
Hi, sorry if thats very random, do you guys know any script manager for python scripts? I have 3-5 python scripts that work as APIs for a mobile app and i need something to see them all and see their output from a single page without needing to have 4-5 instances of screen ( the linux package screen ). I have tried PM2, the free tier, but it lacked logging and the metrics were not very well explained ( i never understood how to implement them in my code ). So do you have any suggestions? I have a linux server btw.
Agreed. Same age, same experience.

I'm also finding myself more allergic to unnecessary code complexity / non-standard designs, because they impede my ability to work with the code base.

It's still a little painful to no longer be the smartest person in the room, but I think it makes me a better champion for regular programmers who will need to touch the code.
It sounds less like risk averse and more like cover-your-ass though; go through long checklists and committees and people so that no one person can be held responsible for any problems.

The closest thing you'll see in tech will be at back-end software like banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, embedded engineering / SCADA, ERP systems, etc. The "move fast and break things" mindset seems to mainly be a thing in Silicon Valley internet companies / start-ups, and mainly the latter because they're driven to pump up their own value instead of provide reliable software. Because if Twitter is down, it's an inconvenience, but if airplane software fails, lives are on the line.
Update: B extension is apparently not actually enabled. Alas.
A window isn’t an application.

Just like a terminal isn’t an OS, a function isn’t a program, a web page isn’t a web site.

Being able to deal with each independently has value.
> Agencies like the FAA are notoriously risk adverse.

There is a difference from risk averse ("we require heavy testing before deployment") and dysfunctional ("we are terrified of breaking anything but are unwilling to invest in maintenance").

Take the Air Force. Their risk decision is: can we accomplish a specific mission at hand with ideally minimal loss of warfigher life. If they don't maintain their planes, they cannot achieve the warfighter life loss minimization.

Similar with IT generally. Kicking the can down the road just grows the problem.
There’s really only one analog worth mentioning in this thread about robots-cum-musicians.

I think this deposit is under Mt Luossavaara, which is close to the main iron ore body currently being mined. The old city core is currently being moved and/or torn down anyways, so it shouldn't affect much...

...other than the houses already transferred to the slopes of Luossavaara, I guess. :)
This was a joke, alluding to a recent trend of companies switching to the "unlimited" number of vacation days (just recently Microsoft has announced it). Which leads to the teams enforcing unofficial limits to the vacation days, no more than 1-2 weeks, or you will be evaluated a low performer and fired or refused promotions/benefits. Not saying that's a rule, but it should be expected outcome.
> lies in the context preparation

The right fix here is to simplify the context preparation - make the functions more self contained and less dependent on external scope.
Also unless the inflation rate goes negative, the actual price of goods is not going down, it's just increasing slower because you had a whole years worth of high inflation. If YoY inflation goes down that just means last year's inflation was already so high, relative to this year we are "only" increasing by 3% or 4%, etc.

In that sense the inflation is now baked in, and we only make future increases slower but we don't unwind back to the original price without some serious deflation.
Motorcycles typically get 40-50mpg. A little better than cars, but not a lot. And they transport at most two people.
You should be able to stop at any time for any reason and not worry about the car behind crashing in to you. They should leave enough space. A rabbit is a very good reason. Maybe it's not a rabbit, maybe it's a rabbit-shaped rock that would cause serious damage to your vehicle, causing you to leave the road and die.
How I Grew My YouTube Channel in the First 3 Months
FWIW there is a clash of terminology here.

- ARC (upper case): Automatic Reference Counting (in Swift/ObjC)

- Arc (title case): Atomic
reference counting (in Rust)

I assume OP intended the former.
On the basis of market segmentation, probably not.

In general, there is an overhead to a deal that is independent of size. If an investment organization has Y dollars and X deal capacity, then a simple model says the size of each deal should be Y/X.

Good luck.
You're right, my "mess up once, get fired", I really mean if a flight crashes and the FAA could have done something, they'll get political flak. High level political appointees may need to resign. Whereas if an agency does nothing for a term, the political leaders get to stay.

For routine FTEs, as a sibling post mentioned, you can probably mess up in a lot of ways (short of murder or being really non-PC) and still keep your job.

1 - Always, and I mean always, leave your keys on the same place everytime you arrive at your house. That also applies to remote controls and any other object that you recurrently needs to use. Life's to short to be wasted trying to find tiny things.

2 - have a soldering iron at hand on your toolbox. I lost count how many little fixes I was able to accomplish using one, and I'm definitely no electrical engineer. Our modern lives are full of electronic gadgets that are purposefully designed to break on a short amount of time, and we should not accept that. I made myself led lamps that last forever, cell phones that have 3 times the original battery capacity, fixed earbuds that would otherwise go to the thrash, all because I learned how to use a simple soldering iron.

3 - plug your laptop to your 60 inch TV and get yourself a wireless keyboard and mouse kit. Nothing beats working on a gigantic screen, seated confortably on my amazing recliner sofa. And a full on PC is the best media center you can get, I could NEVER settle for a hoku or any other of those "smart tv" thingies. I want my full PC.

Yes, and the more depressing part: to make the model work, there will also be a huge effort to mold everyone into the blockbusters’ public, the bestsellers’ buyer.

Probably because the idea is trivial in hindsight (always is) so publishing fast is important. Afaict, the idea is to compute the gradients layer by layer and applying them immediately without bothering to back-propagate from the outputs. So in between layers would learn what orientation vectors previous layers emit for positive samples and themselves emit orientation vectors. Imagine a layer learning what regions of a sphere's (3d) surface are good and outputting what regions of a circle's (2d) perimeter are good. This is why he mentions the need for normalizing vectors otherwise layers would cheat and just look at the vector's magnitude.

The idea is imo similar to how random word embeddings are generated.
My part of New Mexico (6000'/2000m) may not get as cold as your part of Canada, but I simply have not found what you claim to be true.

My house has several "lifted ceilings" (15'/5m) and it is true that the heat from my minisplit units wants to accumulate up there. In some rooms we have ceiling fans that help move the air down (or up). In other rooms, there are no fans, and the upper part of the room space is indeed way, way hotter than the lower part, which is ridiculously inefficient.

HOWEVER ... this has never impacted the ability of the minisplit units to provide more than the same level of comfort as floor-mounted heating devices.
Ah. The good ol’ “steal the good workers from the poor countries to serve my wealthy country that doesn’t want to invest in training its own workers” argument. What happens when those workers are tapped and/or the cost/benefit for them is not attractive? Back to square one.
A justice system will never be about the truth, because the truth does not bring justice: justice is a human attempt at realising what most would call karma. You do a bad thing, we try to make you suffer: the truth doesn't matter, because there's no absolute "good" and "bad" -- it's all perception. Lawyers are not truth seekers, they're playing a game, and to represent oneself in pursuit of the truth is a fools errand.

I've served on a jury, I agree the modern model for justice is broken, but the problem is not an absence of truth, it's much more fundamental.
Inflation spiked and is going down. The nature of YoY changes is such that even if prices stayed the same (not inflation, which is inherently 2nd order) inflation will go down. Hence, the reset. If you consider COVID an anomaly, which it is, this is the natural conclusion, which we're now seeing.

in any case, I adjusted the comment to clarify
Even though AutoMapper of course uses reflection to construct mappings, executing mappings does not involve reflection if not necessary. AutoMapper builds expression trees, compiles them on first use, and uses the resulting function to perform the mapping. If your mapping involves things only accessible through reflection, then the compiled mapping function will of course still have to rely on reflection.

Like using std::shared_ptr<T> in C++ or Rc<T> (or Arc<T>, which in that case stands for atomic, not automatic) in Rust. That is, you as a programmer choose for which variables to use reference counting.

It can make leaving water temps (LWT) of 70°C. It can work when it's as cold as -28°C outside.

What it can't do is both at the same time: make 70°C LWT when it's -28°C outside. It's designed for 65°C LWT (some models 60°C) and can only reach 70°C at a performance penalty (year-round) and can only maintain 70°C LWT down to -15°C and starts to lose max LWT, heating capacity, and even more efficiency below that. (Losing efficiency a few days out of the year is a minor concern. Not being able to meet the heat loss and heat transfer for the building for a few days is a much more serious issue for health and comfort.)

I love my heat pump. When it was -25C outside it was still performing with a COP of ~3. It is ground source - I have a large loop submerged in a large pond, so it is the temperature of the water (was low of 2C as read at the intake) that is important rather than the air temperature. It would likely be better in deep trenches (frostline here is 1.5m), but the installation cost in the pond was negligible, and meant i didnt need to tear up the garden.
Your answer is only part of the truth. Though Russia had lots of welwishers in Bulgaria, the heavy indoctrination happened during the communist rule 1945-1989. Many people whose best years were during this period are still alive and many are disappointed by the failures of the post 1989 governments. The topic is complex and filled in with lots of propaganda, so I won't get into disputes, just giving additional context.
