Not in the UK because of parliamentry authority, no. A law cannot be made that binds future parliament from being able to undo it, thus 'fundamental rights' cannot be legislated.
Ask HN: Data Science Workflows on Apple Silicon
Now that the Apple Silicon ecosystem is maturing a bit, are there any good resources or advice for running the usual gamut of x86 Data Science (Python) tooling on ARM?

My team and I are finding it difficult to get a decent local workflow, without resorting to a an x86 box in the cloud.

Thanks!
Engineering is not always implementing the best solution, but implementing a solution that completely or partially solves the problem at hand. In engineering, the fact that the solution is suboptimal is immaterial compared to the outcome. It may have ramifications to future problems that are possible following that, but that is a separate engineering problem that can be considered separately and decided upon accordingly.

Transferring ideas and software discovery are difficult problems. Expecting everyone to know that tech x is superior to tech y and singularly pursue development of tech x is unreasonable.

Most people prefer work with a solution that you are familiar with or caters to a particular technology stack. JSON is a first-class citizen of Javascript, but can be secondary in other programming languages. Anything that provides the least cost or effort to resolving or minimizing the extent of the product at hand is all that is needed. There is almost never a case where point B must follow or supersede point A. Point A continues to solve the problems it was designed for or turned out to be useful for by chance: the technology can continue to be used where it is known and regarded.
The use case I'm most excited about for old phones is selfhosting. There's no reason things like a Plex server can't just be an app on your phone. Plug in a USB hard drive, go through a quick OAuth flow to open a tunnel with a service like Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok and you're set.

Unfortunately they are relying on the iOS app store to distribute their app, so safe to say they won't be around much longer due to third-party services etc etc.
Excellent essay.

The 10k rule mentioned is totally a thing. I was at a company implementing AML for the first time, and the compliance team told us to add it, which I always thought was an inane. They came up with a variety of rules with just arbitrary figures in them, including the 10k rule. Didn't matter if you had previously been transacting 7k regularly before jumping to 10k, didn't take overall volume into account, didn't look for unusually high acceleration of transactions. Just a magic number pulled out of industry precedents.

The interesting thing was if you read the actual legislative requirements it was excessively vague, like "take reasonable steps to find suspicious transactions". Institutions don't build software if they don't have to. The goal always was to do the minimum to check the box, not actually find laundered money.
Have you considered that you bought the heat pump equivalent of a Ford Edsel, rather than the tech being fundamentally bad?
Yes, I understand that it can appear to synthesize something new, and no, I'm not looking for some inner experience.

I'm looking for it to show an ability to wield not only a set of strings (with language associations), but something actually like the platonic ideals - objects, with properties and relations.

A few errors show quickly there is no such concept being weilded.

>> I saw a fine example of this failure the other day: "Mike's mom has four kids. three are named Danielle, Liam, and Kelly. What is the fourth kid's name?" ChatGPT's reply is explanation of how there isn't enough info in question to tell. Told "The answer is in the question.", ChatGPT just doubles down on the answer. (Sorry, couldn't find the original example)

>> "My sister was half my age when I was six years old. I'm now 60 years old. How old is my sister?" ChatGPT: "Your sister is now 30 years old". [0]

>> Or this one where ChatGPT entirely fails to understand order/sequence of events. [1]

Or a plethora of math problem fails found...

Similarly, the image "AI"s fail to understand relationships between objects (or parts of one object), and cannot abstract a particular person's image from a photo, showing it has no understanding of what is a body... (I can look those up if necessary).

And, of course, the answers are entirely untethered from reality - it is completely by chance whether the answer is correct or just wrong. It is run through a grammatical filter/generator at the end so it's usually grammatical, but no sort of truth filter (or ethical filter for that matter either).

I don't expect some abstract experience, I expect it to be able to break down it's work into fundamental abstract concepts and then construct an answer, and this it cannot do, or it would not be making these kinds of errors.

"and $1 cost per GPU hour."

"50% hardware utilization rates"

Assuming all queries take 2s this implies that ( 1 * 3600 /

C'mon, it's forking a whitelist.
Check out Roc[0][1] by Richard Feldman; it's early-stages (perhaps earlier stages than Elm?) but from everything I've seen it looks a bit like a spiritual successor to Elm, though focused more on native applications (but still seems to have its sights set on webassembly support too)

Exactly. The whole reason we chose a subscription business model was so that we could focus on quality over clicks. I hope you are seeing some improvements. A lot more soon.
> Chances are, the “weeds” that Roundup were killing contributes more to the soil health than Roundup does.

I mean, sure, if you take the cropland out of production and let weeds do their thing, that will be great for soil health. That isn't farming though. The alternative to sedbed preparation with herbicide isn't just leaving the weeds. Typically, it is tillage. Are there no till practices that scale that dont involve Roundup? Yeah, sometimes. But thus far it's use has fostered the proliferation of no-till farming, now on 1/5th of US cropland, and has been a net benefit for soil conservation
Unless you really want to argue tilling was better.
The Hungarian Wikipedia being overrun by neonazis is news to me. Are you sure you didn't mean the Croatian one?

In the Croatian case, the Wikimedia Foundation commissioned a study (a "Disinformation Assessment") that did indeed come to that conclusion.

If you do have info on the Hungarian Wikipedia, a link or two would be appreciated. Thanks.
I think these are not the main pain points.

The biggest issue for me is that medium makes me feel like a cash cow. The way it wants me to pay every step of the way, the way it hijacks copy/paste to insert its own marketing. The account it wants me to create. The trackers it inserts everywhere. You missed the step of making something great that people actually feel good about paying for. The grassroots "for users by users" community feel that other platforms still manage to tap into. A site you'd be proud to be part of and happy to pay for. The problem with an X-views paywall is: you annoy me so much that even if there's good content behind it I'm long gone before I ever find out because you've already pushed me away. It just has this "all about the money" feel that I deeply hate.

Also, not every author is out to make money. My personal blog is not monetized at all. It's more my way of outreach for my day job in tech. And I'd never want to put my readers through this experience. Free content should be exempt.

The other points like the quality of content dropping because you recommend the wrong stuff, yeah they dropped the value proposition even more. But they weren't the real problem.
It's not about any of the details at all, really.

It's about questioning the mainstream media narrative. Mainstream media is politically affiliated. So questioning it becomes a political act.

Once it gets political, people lose all reason, form up into tribes, and things get rough.
I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that the KYC laws as written don't impose the requirement to search
papers to verify proof of identity, address, etc.

Sure cute games can be made about the semantics of it, but that's why we have human beings as judges. It's blatantly obvious that when you threaten to toss someone in a cage for not doing something that you are imposing that on them, it's not voluntary and you are doing it on behalf of the imposer. If a human being judge truly can't recognize that then the whole system is broken and we need to start over.
I found myself able to build more impressive things with elm than without, quicker, with no runtime errors
Pandas doesn't. Polars I think has some lazy-loading capability, but it's not the default mode of operation and I don't think it supports all features. If DuckDB doesn't, then that's a big advantage.
It makes perfect sense. Most programmers learn to program on a C-like, Basic-like or Python-like language. Not ML-like. What's familiar is what's easiest to adopt.
You might be right. Unfortunately the government is just as incentivized as the rest of us to uphold a consumer economy.
Centralization is always destined to failure because growth requires catering to an ever lower common denominator. When services are new they are exclusive and content quality is high, if narrow. As they scale their standards drop, it is a mathematical certainty.

This is the fundamental mistake of Web 2.0. It's impossible to be everything to everyone.

In other words content moderation is a feature and if you can't do it while keeping your audience happy you are too big.

You had just been linked scientific sources in the parent of the comment I replied to right? And your counterpoint was that a lawyer said 'scientists' were on the jury.
It would be an air to air missile like a sidewinder which still costs $400k. Just scrambling a couple jets would cost tens of thousands on top of that I’m sure.
This is my really high level and poorly explained thoughts on this. I have enormous trouble reading functional programming languages.

Python gets away significant whitespace by reading like pseudo code and is fairly clean. It uses words rather than symbols.

C syntax provides visual structure using brackets.

It seems to keep things readable, you get the option of using symbols or significant whitespace for scope.

Functional languages have a tendency to do both. Lisp’s syntax is defined by replacing syntax with parentheses.

You basically get into a situation where you need to be able to read and comprehend math-like lines of code. Which doesn’t seem to mesh well with the structure of nature language.

It’s kind of like abstraction in programming. Some people kind of get it. Some people really get it. And other people need to consider a different career.

I think there are just too good programmers who don’t work well with functional programming to say it’s a problem with lack of familiarity. I think it could be a fundamental lack of talent.
The idea of AI assistants is good. The hype around current AI assistants is bad. You may comfortably assume everyone critical of LLMs' current performance believes this. Begone, straw men.

They're not very successful are they? I mean it's a famous paper but are they really succeeding at monetizing their site this way?

I often get linked to a NYT article but as I don't even live in the US I'd never be tempted to pay for it. If I couldn't just use a paywall blocker or archive.is I'd just ignore them altogether. I kinda doubt they get many subscribers from outside their native area (US as they have a bigger reach than just new York)

I think the guardian does this a lot better, they don't paywall but ask for a contribution even if you don't subscribe. I've actually contributed a few times there.
This makes me consider using cryptocurrency for payments on my SaaS. The one I am most familiar with is not popular (instant downvote on HN) so I won't mention it.

But anyway with a cryptocurrency, at least I know that no one is going to "shut down my account" or some nonsense like that.
It would certainly have been more accurate to title the article as 'Intentional distortion of holocaust history on Wikipedia' that to attribute intent to Wikipedia qua entity - though abusive & adversarial editing practices are a sufficiently well-known and documented problem on that platform that Wikipedia's nonprofit governance could reasonably be accused of negligence.
Am I misremembering that medium's signup nag screen was just cookie based? I have cookie autodelete after I close a tab, so I haven't seen those since forever.

On the other hand, the low quality content was what made me avoid medium.com links, so my experience perfectly mirrors the comment.

> It has nothing to do with 1 and 2. Youtube is FULL of click bait videos and their recommendation system is garbage, but it thrives, you know why?

It's extremely expensive to run a competitor to a global video platform, the platform is much stickier, the app makes it even more sticky, and they're a billion dollar ad company that can spend giant sums of money on creators? Starting a medium competitor is trivial in comparison, you can do so with Wordpress out of the box. It won't scale to the same size, won't be as nice etc, but it'll work. You can't do the same with Youtube.
> With a heat pump, you -need- an alternative source of heat

It's only a -need- in certain locations. The one I have claims to be fine down to -5 degrees. There is zero chance we will get anywhere close to that in my lifetime. Heck, even getting down to 32 is incredibly rare. So we are fine without an alternative source of heat.

As for other points, we have never had a power loss/blackout in the nearly 3 decades we have lived here. And electric is cheaper than gas due to nearby hydroelectric dams.
Or perhaps Bash for 30 years was using a sub-optimal solution and now when a better approach has emerged it just stubbornly refuses to adapt?
Exactly. In my DuckDB workflow I use Pandas data frames and DuckDB queries interchangeably.

import duckdb as db
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_excel(“z.xlsx”)
df2 = db.query(“select * from df join ‘s3://bucket/a.parquet’ b on df.col b.col”).df()
df3 = df2.col.apply(lambda x: x)

DuckDB can refer any Pandas data frame in the namespace as a SQL object. You can query across Parquet, CSV and Pandas data frames seamlessly.

Need to join Excel with Parquet with CSV? No problem. You can do it all within DuckDB.
I asked for actual concrete evidence, not "can be used".

Is there an example of a program that was crap, implemented telemetry and then got better afterwards?
(and of course controlled for factors that might have improved the program anyway)

I mean since telemetry advocates are so into how useful data is, surely they must have data on whether telemetry itself works?

This article is based on wild speculations of how much things cost, and doesn’t account for ways to make things cheaper over time. We already have papers that suggest most big models are undertrained and smaller models can get the same accuracy.

Google should easily spend the $33B if it keeps them on top while finding ways to make things cheaper, more accurate, smarter.

So your solution for not using a third-party is to use a different third party?
Also there’s a concept called “rubber sheeting” for transforming points where you know the amount of error at a bunch of points and you want to transform all the other points by interpolating how much error there would be at those points. The might be useful too, if you’re implementing a solution yourself.

Shame we decided to shutter all those down across the country, for an extended period because they were deemed "non-essential", leading to many of them to shutter forever. At the same time massive mega-corps were able to be deemed essential, and allowed to continue to operate, turning record profits.

But of course that's just conspiracy theory thinking and only someone who hates grandma would say something like that.
Or, because patenting seeds serves a legitimate and valuable public service, smears of "deep corruption" notwithstanding.
It's in stripe's best interest to fight the fine. Why would you think they would prefer to pay the networks and collect the fine from a merchant?
Have you tried F# or OCaml? I would argue that programming in Python is much harder than it is in F#. It is for me.
It's possible, but you have to carefully choose where to live. I spent my 20's in Seattle with no car: I lived in an apartment-dense neighborhood close to shops and groceries (Capitol Hill), and relied on buses, walking, and biking for transportation. That was before Uber and Lyft, which would have helped to fill in the gaps. It was a fun bohemian lifestyle, but I wouldn't want to do it now that I have kids and have a much busier schedule. Buses here are really slow.
This is obvious if you've read an article on any even sightly controversial topic.

If you mix hydrogen and helium, say 50/50, the risk of any fire is minimal. I wouldn't smoke around it, but I wouldn't be afraid of it causing a fire in a crash. Looking at the recent shoot down, the brief white cloud suggests to me that they might have been using such a mix.
You're right, but personally there are no situations where I would travel with a Steamdeck and not a laptop. Maybe if I was going on vacation but I don't think I'd bring a Steamdeck then anyway.

It's a bit more work to just pull out and play - I need to turn on the laptop too, such effort!

I forgot to mention in the original post - I thought I was going to only be able to use this in places with really fast wifi. But it turns out I can just turn on a 5g hotspot on my laptop and connect the tablet to that. As long as I'm in the same room, it's fast enough for the max quality settings in Moonlight and I get around 10ms latency.

So it's not as portable as a Steamdeck. But it is "fits in a backpack" portable.
The opacity is by design. Fraudsters will use every bit of available information to make their businesses appear legit.

Having worked at Stripe (though not in risk), I'd wager that Stripe did not "fold instantly" for a 425k fine. It's unfortunate, but the OP is the one who made a costly mistake when they grandfathered existing accounts into a setup they knew had liabilities.
That implies that NYTimes is thriving after their inclusion of paywall.

Is Flurly literally a front end for users to sell whatever products they want via stripe? Lol
LOL, this is also very true.

I do question how you manage your backlog though, if there are things on it that should never be implemented, maybe you should clean it out? :-p
I was pleasantly surprised at both of the emails they posted from Stripe. They seem to be more informational than similar situations in the past.

It's still a crap situation for Flurly and their customers, but if newsawp wasn't scammy or breaching credit card issuers' terms, then blame lies with whichever credit card company forced Stripe to take action, and if newsawp was behaving badly, then blame lies with Flurly for not doing a better job of vetting their merchants.
Yeah, it sounds like Flurly was shut down by Visa/Mastercard, not Stripe.
But those languages weren't familiar to begin with. It's like people are saying programmers can only learn to program one time.

You're looking at a youtube short that explicitly cuts out any semblance of context. The entire world had been discussing nothing but Russian sanctions for weeks at that point. And no, it wasn't a weird way to threaten sanctions, and no one at the time thought any differently, otherwise there would've been a flurry of articles saying Biden threatened to blow it up. But that never happened.
