You’re completely missing the point. Many multi master databases exist. Network partitions happen. Bugs in multi master databases during network partitions have happened and can happen. This is like distributed systems 101.

So given those facts, your design of using UUIDs is absolutely not full proof if the database where you stored your UUID is not in a consistent state.

Here’s some more useful info for your perusal (https://ucare.cs.uchicago.edu/pdf/socc14-cbs.pdf)

“ Data consistency means that all nodes or replicas agree on the same value of a data (or eventually agree in the context of eventual consistency). In reality, there are several cases (5%) where data consistency is violated and users get stale data or the system’s behavior becomes erratic. The root causes mainly come from logic bugs in operational protocols (43%), data races (29%) and failure handling problems (10%).1 Be- low we expand these problems.”
I used to carry an AirCable bluetooth-to-rs232 dongle so I could use my phone as a terminal with random hardware. I wonder where it went...

These days I should probably just make a new one, plus a TTL-voltage version since that's what I encounter more often anymore. Heck, maybe a current-loop version too, in case I drop in on my minicomputer-and-telephone-switch friends...
Can I do this twice to get a compound effect?
By making multiple partial commits, then squashing stuff together as needed. Or amending the top commit. Or amending non-top commits (making them "absorb" the changes).

Which is what I do with mercurial (& evolve), and I am happy I don't have a super-special extra concept to clutter up my already overflowing brain.

The way I think of it, the staging area is an incrementally buildable commit that is not called a commit because commits aren't incrementally buildable. So if you allow commits to be incrementally buildable, then you don't need the staging area. The only difference is you need to come up with a message for the commit when you first start to build it. Or not—make it empty, then amend it when it becomes something worth naming.
Idempotency of message reception is different than idempotency of message execution.
Its not doing X to Y, its doing X to Z which is synonymous to Y is…a contradiction.

IF Z is a synonym for Y, doing X to Z is doing X to Y.
I'm a huge user of RIs, I like the idea of tools to balance them more easily, etc. Totally on board with that but the way the number is presented seems to me like you're setting yourself up to over-promise and under-deliver, not to mention turning off people who are familiar enough with this to already be using RIs / CSPs somewhat. Simply qualifying it to “Cut AWS EC2 spend by up to 57%” would avoid some of that, and you could probably address the latter users with some hard data about flexibility or total net savings by other customers so people could get an idea of what it looks like for normal users who aren't just buying acres of EC2 instances and nothing else.

> Aboriginals, not unlike Native Americans, reject any attempt to explain their origin via science as they stick to the story of their origin that comes from their religion, and see the science based origin as disrespectful.

I mean, if we are going to make these kinds of broad generalizations and comparisons, could we at least change “Native Americans” to “Christian fundamentalists”.

It’s not any less true.
What a great deal for the investors with connections to the local political 'mafia'. If profit is 70% after taking away expenses, that is about $140M. $140M * 7 = $980 (7 multiples). Where can one find such a profitable business for 7 multiples?

This chart tracks the income (including benefits) of "production/nonsupervisory workers" and compares it to per capita GDP. This is not quite the same claim as the one I was replying to, which is that labor in general gets a smaller share of the national income than it used to.

The US media is always hyperpartisan, but somehow this story really takes the cake for me. I'm basically agnostic about where covid came from, I think it's a stupid line of inquiry.
But on one hand you have multiple government agencies clearly suggesting lab leak is likely, with whatever qualifiers. And you have of course right wing news playing that up. But more insane to me is the immediate campaign in the left wing news to downplay the whole thing. It's like two completely separate stories.

Even in like Trump news from a few years ago, the general form was the same, even if the spin was different. Here we have "news" from two sides saying almost the opposite things. How can anybody possibly trust anything they read on the news?

Not really. Most are nominally private (although both the big Tokyo subways aren't - Toei, the clue is in the name), but have both a large proportion of their shares owned by governments (local and national), and deep ties to a large conglomerate (keiretsu) that in turn owns a lot of businesses in the relevant area and has deep ties into the political system.
There are many similar stories around the world. A government, usually a center-right one, sells some critical public infrastructure for relatively little money. The new owners then raise prices as much as they can and make major profits. I believe the reason is more likely ideology than corruption.

Certain kinds of pro-business politicians tend to think that privately run services are morally superior to government services. Because this is an ideological argument, they are unwilling to listen to empirical counterpoints. As politicians they are also prone to teleological thinking: because the purpose of privatization is to benefit the public, it will benefit the public. Hence they care less about the details of the privatization deal than they should.
NATO is just an excuse, even die-hard Russian nationalists like Girkin don't take that seriously and openly mock his constant whining about NATO.
Interesting. Sounds like they have implemented it in the worse possible way. ( for the consumer ).

A progressive image format doesn't really fully solve the problem, it's only a potential bandwidth improvement. In both the case of a progressive and non-progressive image, you potentially prefetch the wrong asset - either a too low resolution image, or too few bytes of the progressive image, and you are stuck either waiting or displaying a too low resolution version of the image. The only advantage of the progressive format is that the prefetch bytes aren't wasted - as a rough estimate, if you grabbed the 1x image instead of 2x, you ended up using 125% as much bandwidth as intended. A nice improvement but also much smaller than just using a better image format in general. Likewise, it doesn't remove the need for container queries, you'd still at least want a byte offset for the complete base layer.

I can't find a reference now, but when I visited in January there was a story on the news where a tow truck was starting to tow a legally parked car, the owner showed up and tried to stop them, so a tow company employee pulled a gun and left with the car. The police came and basically said they couldn't do anything and suggested paying the fine to get the car back, or something to that effect.

Sublime Text. Nothing is faster and low footprint to track projects and meetings than plain text in sublime. Separate text file per project. One each for recurring meetings (e.g. team meetings, 1-on-1s, etc). It’s my personal knowledge base and record.

Outlook. for screenshots. Sometimes I email myself to keep a record of things. Also for small attachments.

Keynote NF (Windows only) just for the hierarchy. Only for light todos. Nothing more goes in. Delete nodes few days after done. Visual hierarchy is very useful. Never go beyond 2 levels.

Printer paper (standard US Letter) folded in half. I keep 3-4 under my keyboard for immediate tasks and diagrams.

More than tools, its how I use them.

All my text files have the name YYMMM-topic.txt. Super easy to find visually. YYMMM is date when I created that file. I put a date around any new topic. Sometimes a few days later.

Headers

—---------

to draw my attention.

[ ] Checklists

[ ] for pending tasks

[ ] at the top of the text file.

I find a tree with dragable nodes (in Keynote NF) useful for todos. Much better than a lists.

Never use styles (bold, underline, etc). They will get destroyed moving between systems and good editors are bulky.

Stopped giving a damn about backups or cross device syncing. I just copy and paste text fiiles every few days. Emails are backed up by corporate. Don’t care about todos. Paper gets dumped into a box. File useful stuff into a folder when it gets full.

On paper, I just draw small connected graphs. Each page has 3-5 big letter words, circled. Smaller text surrounding each topic. Never more than 30 words per page. Use it mostly when I am learning something new. Or brainstorming.

I take pictures of these on my phone if I want to think more.

Finally, I use Google Docs for personal stuff. Same luddite principles apply. Except I love how I can create headers in each doc and have a table of contents generated.

Thats it.

> Is an 11% genetic incursion a lot for ~ 150 generations?

I am not sure either. However, we do have a lot of natural experiments (and lab experiments) to explore this.

The 11% number comes from a clustering analysis. The user supplies k = number of ancestry groups, and the algorithm estimates proportion of genetics specific to each of k ancestry groups. So basically fancy k-means clustering. I don't know how robust it is and I would suspect a biased estimate.

As for over time... also complex. But I would imagine the best models would use exponetial distributions or similar as their basis (i.e. initially fast decrease in percentage followed by a slower rate of loss until equilibrium is reached).

> it exaggerates the density and distinctness of clusters

It does the opposite - the PCA graph shown is 2D, meaning points in the N-dimensional space are projected onto a single plane. In this projection, information is lost - i.e. point-clouds that are distinct in 3D may overlap in 2D. While we are shown the axes along which the data is most distinct, the true clusters are even more distinct, as every added dimension would contribute additional 'distinctness'.
So around 15% cheaper and 15% faster, good stuff

Yes you are right about the greater variation being localised. But I thought it was localised at the level of linkage disequlibrium blocks which can encompass many thousands of genes at their largest.

Regardless the genetic distance between any two people remains tiny compared to the distance between even closely related species or sub-species elsewhere.

Weird. Although I drive a Tesla Model S Plaid, I recently wanted to test drive a Lucid. I reached out to Lucid through their website, received a scheduling call the next day, and had a very pleasant experience test driving a Lucid one week later.

Ask HN: What's the current best practice for AI/ML powered predictions?
I have a set of records which each have a set of many attributes. The records have also have a 'result' which becomes clear after an indeterminate amount of time. This result is partially but not fully influenced by by the record's attributes.

I'm looking for options to predict the record's result from it's attributes. The attributes update in 'real time', and a real-time update on predictions would be great but there is no requirement for low-latency (it's not for trading or anything like that).

I'm a software engineer, but new to AI/ML solutions. I wonder if more knowledgeable folks here could steer me in the right direction? Thank you!

I was speaking off the top of my head, hence the ~ preceding the 5. That said, more clusters may be visible on a 3D graph. The data itself has many more dimensions, and we see only a projection.
> Technically, what ends up happening from the JS side is that the Promise that `fetch()` returned simply never resolves

So, in a scenario like https://github.com/panva/jose/commit/e44cd18ea4cf8af173f874c..., I think that implies the isDone polling loop never completes, and all future requests hitting reload hang since _pendingFetch is already set?

Your statement was "people living in the same country are indeed more closely related to each other than to people of different countries"

The first chart shows a direct counterexample with "African American", "Mexican American" and "North America" groups more separated from each other than from other groups and yet many of them live in the same country. These are also not the only groups of people you'd find in North America, they're just the ones used in the study of Northwestern american indigenous groups that this is screenshotted from. This is, again, poor evidence for your claim.
