Ah, so what you have is a problem that's more special than you can briefly describe for readers here. :-)

That's interesting to me, as a topic.

Some don't mind having that kind of problem, because it opens a door through which they can gesture at a veritable treasury of details. Details are interesting and very important to them. Perhaps they are even somehow the master of those particular details, for having considered them! Ah ha, great.

Others hate it, because they feel like they are springing an unfair trap on innocent passers-by who suggest a simple solution to what seems like a simple problem.

I can't say I can solve your problem, and for one it seems different now than it did before, in significant ways.

But having walked into it, I can tell you I know this kind of situation! I hope you enjoy puzzling it out, whether through others' ideas or your own well-calibrated wiki-developer brain.

Ask HN: Consolidating Multiple Data Sources
How do you connect multiple data sources? I have a usecase where I have multiple data sources batch and streaming that I need to analyze together. I have used a database to consolidate the various sources but I do not get the realtime outcome I need. I am exploring https://getdozer.io/ any suggestions / feedback?

I am sick to death of this frankly pseudo intellectual take. It completely ignores the fact that a) we have no idea how consciousness works, and b) there are plenty of humans that say inaccurate things.

Explaining how ML works doesn’t change its behaviours or its effects.
Virginia is awful (imo, as someone living there but moving ASAP)

It seems to somehow have all the cons of any sort of area, without hardly any of the pros. The traffic is also consistently, comically bad. Everything feels so damn crowded because there is pretty much only one road to go North and South and everything was built seemingly 100 years ago. Not an area ever intended to house this many people. Also, you pay some of the highest prices in the country for housing. Not sure how people do it for so long.
So far all the Ponte Vecchios are going to Argonne for Aurora. Technically it was launched but I can't find the price and I don't think it's actually being sold.

Xeon Phi could act as a host and people still didn't use it.
Ask HN: What learning tools are fun, have bite-sized chunks, and use exercises?
Recently, I've created a daily habit of using these three learning tools:

- Simply Piano (https://www.hellosimply.com/simply-piano)

- Exercism (https://exercism.org/tracks/elixir)

- Math Academy (https://www.mathacademy.com/)

I find it's easy to use each of them every day, because:

1. I don't feel reluctant to get started, because the start of each session is interesting.

2. I can have a useful session in as little as 15 minutes (although longer is better).

3. The exercises make me feel like I'm actually learning.

Other tools don't have the same effect:

- Duolingo fails on #3

- Anki (which I just started using to learn the Gujarati alphabet) fails on #1

I'd love to find other learning tools that give me the same feeling as the three I mentioned. Do you know of any, for any domain?
Straining this metaphor beyond all recognition, it seems like Tony Stark's AI allows him to be the entire military industrial complex with a tiny headcount, since it's hooked up to a highly automated factory. He is able to use the AI the way he uses it because he inherited an arms company.

So maybe everyone can have their own Jarvis, but theirs won't be hooked up to a factory. I guess it can help them forage for food and remind them that their rent is past due. But that's not an appealing future.
How did you gather all that from the linked example?
Right. In GraphQL you wouldn’t need to make a new endpoint for the same resource just because you’re calling it for a different purpose. It separates the API from how it’s used.

If you’re querying different fields on the same resource 50 different times it’s rather absurd to keep making new endpoints.
In this case, it's a bit different. Pretty much all of that information is protected by HIPAA.

I'm not sure the FTC will be Amazon's primary regulatory concern in this instance. And HIPAA is just the start. The FTC really is the least of your concerns once you start playing in healthcare on a diagnostic level.

Full disclosure, I've exited a diagnostic medical imaging software company and have been through the regulatory proctology exams that are 510(k) and HIPAA.
The problem is how 'health' is defined (or lackthereof) and overprescription of drugs.

It doesn't really seem like the medical industry is going in any particular direction other than developing more subscription drugs (whos primary sure sign that theyre doing anything is the side effects) and marketing them after using regulatory capture to approve them. One time cures barely get any funding or marketing or regulatory acceleration because they're simply not as profitable.

It's a really deeply cynical industry that I don't foresee fixing itself without near-total or total collapse.

>Every study is the study of our interpretation of something.

But there is a clear difference between quantitative results validated by the scientific method versus "interpretations" from philosophy and the humanities.

>Yes, that's what intellectual progress looks like.

Usually scientific results don't change as fast as they do in the humanities. Physical models like gravity, entropy, motion do not change much because of the scientific validation. However, in the humanities any new idea can replace the current idea much more quickly because neither idea has a high degree of verification, thus the humanities are subject to change much more rapidly then STEM.

>And, yet, because we are human and must interact with humans all the time, we have to do the best with the meager tools that we have to reach as much understanding as we can.

Ideally yes, practically speaking this is not exactly what's been going on in the humanities arena of academia. Much of what we're seeing involves heavy radical leftist politics getting embedded these groups.

Not all of the humanities are this way but much of it is. I would look to evolutionary biology and anthropology which are part of the "sciences" to study what it is to be "human" rather than "humanities".

Unfortunately given the nature of what is being studied the high bar of quantitative validation cannot be fully deployed in either of the previously mentioned fields. Instead the fields rely on a limited amount of statistics and logical deduction. This is still a significantly higher bar than most of the humanities.

Dear home-owner,

I like the flowers in your front garden. Please be cool and never change them. I like them there when I drive by from time to time.

No I won't just take a photo of them, or plant my own. I need you to maintain them, never landscape your property or be uncool. It doesn't bother me that it costs you money to maintain them, you should have planned for that before I had a chance to see your lovely flowers.

Please hand this note to the next home owner. Since I want the flowers to live forever and humans don't.

Sincerely,
Idealism.

A similar thing also applies to all arguments in favor of transhumanism, which is worth pointing out
Ok, good for you and your enlightenment and openness, but still don’t see how it applies on this thread. The original article didn’t seem to touch on traditional effeminate qualities creating the relationship imbalances and the comment thread didn’t seem to mention it…either so it seemed out of place and forced—basically came off as a a virtue signal to me.
From a purely technical standpoint, I agree completely. However, given the debacle around USB-C cables & PD, I'd be very worried about a world where I have to trust devices to properly handle such high voltages.
That's funny - and sadly mostly true, but still funny. I think it's hard to get them to pay for anything that they think they * should/could/etc. * build. I think sometimes even CTO can mess up sales.
However if you want to learn, rather than pay, developers may not be a bad choice.
So you want QA Testing? Just pay for one of those services that do it (just google it, there's tons), or go on something like Upwork
Yup, cool. This isn't the U.S. Congress, this is Florida.
The tldr is that Apple drives the speakers way past their “always safe” level and then uses software in the OS to detect and dampen the uncommon sounds which could damage the speakers.

Resulting in exceptional audio performance. The Asahi Linux devs have already reverse engineered and implemented this safety system but there is a risk they have made a mistake or it doesn’t get enabled due to a bug.
I take no offense to respectfully asked questions, just as a general principle.

I have no idea, though. I've never considered that before, or even heard of it. It's hard for me to comprehend why anyone would care what race they are, but also holds up the hands of a very obviously white person

I see no reason to not let people do whatever makes them happy, though, even if I don't understand it. That's all I ask of other people for gender, no reason I shouldn't extend that courtesy to other people.
Fair concern. Im using stripe to process payments and would be able to hold a user accountable if an item wasnt returned or was heavily damaged, but some mechanism should be put in place to verify people are who they say they are without adding too much friction to checkout / registration flow.
If you genuinely want to make content unavailable, feel free too do that. The article isn’t really about that.

Wikis typically keep a history, so they can show a “this topic has been removed” page that still lets you access the history. Or if the topic was merely moved, trigger a redirect. A redirect is perfectly fine, it means that links using the old URL continue to work.

That price tag only works if the firm has pricing power. In a very competitive market, it may find its pricing power isn’t strong enough, as other firms undercut it.
> Want to use FUSE? Not on your work computer locked to high-sec mode as you cannot install kernel extensions (where is our user space FS Apple?).

FYI, MacFUSE has a user-space library (`libfuse`). The kernel extension also works fine on macOS 13 if you can persuade your IT department to allow it.
Yeah buddy that’s quite the stretch.

First, there’s this thing called banks. You can put money into them and save it for later, so you don’t have to depend on a political party handing stuff out.

But sure, not everyone likes to save, that’s their freedom and their choice. Well guess what, they’re part of a rail union, they can already walk off the job.
There's a beautiful book by Charles Petzold which I would recommend to anybody who wants to understand how a machine works from bare materials, "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software!" does not require any type of "technical" knowledge.
That should be pretty interesting to read!! :)

I'm American, much of the driving in my life has been on interstates for hours at a time. You don't really have to be paying much attention for long stretches, just enough to be aware if something moves in an unexpected fashion. City driving does not present the same opportunity for day dreaming because there is too much going on at once, so don't worry I'm paying full attention then. Kind of have to in order to be aware of pedestrians, bicycles, other drivers, traffic signals, pot holes, and street parked cars (sometimes all at once).
Heh no, starting to access TOR is not suspicious or a correlator to anything, that’s the paranoia I’m talking about.

Also I wouldn’t use TOR for this anyway.
yes and no. companies find ways to weasel out of laws 5 years down the road all the time. the money would need to be put in escrow at the time of the whistle being blown, or the worker would risk bankruptcy or other legal shenanigans putting it beyond their reach.

Bogleheads teaches financial responsibility from step 1. It is the right path for everybody, but not everybody finds it or wants to learn.
I think the "implied" part is in the callsite ambiguity: a Java method marked with "throws X" can raise X at any callsite in its method body, whereas a Rust function of type `Result<...>` has each `Err` variant marked either directly with a return or with the `?` sugar.
> I could go on but as someone who has used MacOS for years and generally appreciates it, Apple really doesn't care much for developers. Other than its POSIX shell, MacOS doesn't have much going for it.

This is why I couldn't justify continuing spending money on Apple (computer) hardware, I don't want to feel like a second-rate citizen on the platform I spend most of my time on. I used and loved MacBooks for a long time, but eventually I got tired of fighting against the one I'm giving money to for hardware, and had to switch away.

I'm gonna be honest and say that recent M2 laptops from Apple almost got me to buy one yet again, after a couple of years of hiatus from Apple laptops, but my wife reasonably reminded me about how much I bitched about various things last time I used their laptops for work. Ended up with another Carbon X1, and everything works as expected, battery works OK and so on.

But a side of me would love a laptop, but I need the maker to actually want to support me, not make it feel like sometimes they work against me.
From previous interviews I have seen him say his process for writing those books was to hand write them for the first draft and then transcribe them into emacs as part of the editing process. Seems pretty sensible to me; get the thoughts on the page without an easy way to fuss over the exact prose, and then labour over the exact structure and phrasing later.
“Provide content” you say this like there’s some objective measure for “good” and “bad” content, but there isn’t.

I happen to enjoy political banter on Twitter.
Yes the Mini and Studio have the exact same mono speaker.
Yep, I worked in a factory assembly line 'Wrangling the robots' and I'm not an engineer. They require watching and they can't do parts of the job. They get hung up easily and require alot of resetting. There's good reason factories still hire plenty of manufacturing laborers.
This also made me think of prepared statements.

It would be more readable to have all the values in their respective place in the SQL string, rather than have a bunch of question marks followed by all the values bunched together at the end. e.g. this:

PreparedStatement query = SQL."SELECT * FROM users WHERE firstname=\{firstName} and lastname=\{lastName} and email=\{email}";

rather than:

query = client.prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE firstname=? and lastname=? and email=?",
firstName, lastName, email);
Ok but your experience is totally unrelated.

This thread is about making prototypes which are one time jigs. The reason businesses aren’t making 3-4 jigs a day isn’t because they can’t but because they don’t want to.

But if you’re prototyping, you are literally trying to create jigs.

And this sub-thread is whether you could create jigs before 3D printers existed and you definitely can. Of course, it’s great that now you have both options, speaking from someone with a woodworking shop and a 3D printer, but I wouldn’t say there was such a substantial innovation in physical prototyping.

The purpose of the movie set example was to illustrate that, if you want to, you can create constructions out of wood really quick, not that it’s normal for a business to do.

If anything, the biggest innovation in at-home prototyping was how cheap microprocessors got. Because building circuits is way more painful and expensive than just chucking in a microprocessor.
The youtube video quotes a paper by the same author, so it's probably the
same group's work. I wonder why didn't they used an approach similar to the one in the video using SD - it looks more viable.
It’s called a race condition. They never expected something to complete before another thing.

Xeon Phi had terrible general CPU performance, and not-that-great massively simd performance compared to a gpu.

And XPU in place of a server CPU could theoretically be "free compute" in a GPU node because you still get the ST performance of good CPU cores.

Are you looking for established ones or are startups in your target? If startups are candidates (and life sciences & pharmaceutical are full of people coming from established ones) then you may have a good angle through their investors and you can just hit Crunchbase (or Pitchbook if you can afford) to find who them.

Another way is to talk to the second tier - consulting companies, analytists, integrators, distributors. They have their years, may be open/willing to and could potentially pave the way for warm intros as well.

Note, that whoever you start through, will only lead to more conversations and potential amplification if you have a compelling product/proposal.
Well, it may depend on the exact wording. If it's what we've all assumed it is, then it's dead. Even with a 6-3 conservative majority, there's no way that will fly. Some of those conservatives have principles, and even the rest can think, and can look ahead to the day when the Democrats run Florida.

But some people are claiming that the bill isn't the way we've been taking it. Some claim that it's like this: If you're a blogger, and political party X is paying you to blog, and you're covering Florida politics, then you have to disclose the source of your funding. If it's that, and it's just that, it likely will pass SC review. It would be just like the radio ads saying "this message paid for by the committee to re-elect Senator Blow." Either that's never been tested at the SC, or it passed. And I personally don't have a problem with a paid-for blog being given the same treatment.

So: Which is it? It's going to depend on the exact wording, because those two versions of the bill are not very many words apart.
