>The premise behind SJIM is theoretically sound and can be boiled down to one observation: "the average stock picker performs horribly ."

No it is not at all theoretically sound. The biggest issue with stock picking is low volatility. This does not solve that. The other issue is that stock pickers don't do better or worse than a random selection of stocks after adjusting for factor tilt. That means stock pickers can't do better than average, but they also can't do worse than average - so the whole premise makes no sense if you actually buy into the idea that stock picking doesn't work.
> On iOS I guess you could still keep the key private through Apple's SDK, but what about other platforms?

It's such a huge win for Facebook and Google - I'm not worried about "sideloaders", it lets them crack open the privacy of iMessage by simply having a view on conversations they can't see under the guise of interoperability.

The EU are just rolling a surveillance capitalist's wet dream with rulings like these.
Tell HN: I got my first open source PR after 5 months
I open sourced my project CubeDesk (like chess.com but for Rubik's cubes) about 5 months ago and, given the decent-sized user base, I expected PRs to start coming in left and right. That... did not happen.

Today, after several months of the repo getting stars and attention, I finally got a nice, useful PR. It's given me motivation to focus on the project again and hope it'll motivate others to start contributing too.

Would love some advice on how I can get more contributors and how I can be a better maintainer.

I'm with you there on hoping for more concentration on local training and inference, especially on something like the new Orin (open to donations, NVidia!).

I think there's still something of a financial disincentive to promote selfhost over cloud capabilities for just about every party involved except the selfhoster. NVidia loses out if they're selling a few Nano or Orin platforms relative to the much pricier datacenter cards sold in huge lots. The cloud hosters are making up for the cost of hosting in terms of end-user pricing, snarfing all that lovely customer data and likely selling analytics, and probably other measures I can't understand yet. And the large companies that fund research and initial model development want to know what's being done with their models so as to gain any possible competitive advantage. They can't necesarily guarentee that intel from a self-hoster. Almost nobody is willing to spend the time explicitly to make it easier for the individual dev at a small lab or at home to do this because that's essentially a donation and not a business expense that might yeild obvious returns.
Yup, the key thing is let the candidate pick -- any technical system they understand.
The parent comment is pointless intellectualism.

I'm really quite sure that people can grasp that when you put a fish on dry land, it's not made for that. And that similarly, we're not made for social isolation, living indoors, extreme overstimulation of the senses, non-stop negativity, lack of cognitive breaks, etc.
Spanish people are not Latino (or Latina, or Latinx). Latino means from Latin-America (or descended from people who are).

Hispanic means from a Spanish-speaking country.

Spanish people are Hispanic, but not Latino.
Those whose focus is on controlling language are not primarily concerned about controlling your words. They're primarily interested in controlling you.

I'm old enough to remember when the word 'retard' was the politically correct term before it became "mentally handicapped" then "challenged" and so on. Same goes for 'cripple' which also accurately and concisely describes a particular class of physical impairment. Then it became "handicapped" and "mobility impaired". These are all euphemisms that do nothing but infantalise those affected while allowing those intent on using them to feel morally superior in doing so.

The problem I have with #4 is that you're picking a false expert. The word "expert" is supposed to mean something. Experts are usually not the people that do television for a living.

And with #3 above #4, you're essentially considering yourself as the top expert. Those should be flipped, and greater care taken to identify and qualify expertise.
Ideally, that should net out to an expensive market-neutral fund with 0% expected returns minus the management fees and transaction costs, the latter of which could be really high.
I have seen the tip buttons on those terminal screens before in America and Canada, but have never felt any obligation at all to tip through them. Same deal as terminals in supermarkets asking for charity donations, pressing the "No" button is just muscle memory and I don't even think twice about it. If anything those screens make it easier to not tip, since you're interacting face-to-screen instead of face-to-face.

I don't think tipping on those screens is considered soft-obligatory in America, but maybe I'm guilty of a few social faux pas in Canada..
Lots of stuff has changed for typed Python over the last few years.
(starting with 3.7, but picking up with 3.8)
Just an FYI - we (Bitbucket cloud) recently shipped changes to the PR experience (rebuilt the PR diffing algorithm) which has increased the speed by ~95%.

100% aware we still have a way to go on performance, but we're literally orders of magnitude faster than even 12 months ago, with another order of magnitude on the cards this year, especially for larger customers (250+ users).
Nice, where can I learn more?
I have no strong interest either way. I played with chatgpt with no expectations going in, and I’ve played with it for many hours since. I have found it severely lacking for many purposes which people have said it’s suited. That’s it.
Yes, sealed container vs open air. If we stored natgas in scuba tanks that could get exciting... ironically there are people considering powering auto engines with compressed natgas... must be very exciting in a fire LOL.
Because they are temperature-controlled and contain a refrigeration unit.

In biological and medical applications, you might want to have the samples kept cool for stability. You'll transfer them from a fridge or on ice into the cooled centrifuge and back again after you've spun it down. Since in these big units the rotor is often a big hunk of anodised aluminium, it also helps maintain temperature stability.
I felt that this was vague too. Clarification would be nice

m6i is a much newer CPU architecture, based on Intel Ice Lake rather than Skylake. It is quite significantly faster just from that alone. In addition, the CPU has about 10% higher clock speed.

The 16xlarge version is also a 32 core single socket CPU, meaning there should be no issues with NUMA. I would expect it to be much better than m5.24xlarge in most applications when taking the much faster single-threaded performance into account. Of course, nothing beats benchmarking and measuring yourself though.

I have personally seen issues with NUMA systems and code that theoretically parallelizes very well. Any synchronized mutable state becomes an issue with these kinds of systems. For example, I have had an issue where third party code would use the C "rand" function for randomness. Even though this was not used in a hot code path, on m5.24xlarge >90% of the execution time would be spent on just on the lock guarding the internal random state. On a "normal" system with fewer cores this never showed up while profiling.
Some very large organisations have also their own postcode.

For example, if you want to write to HMRC about your self-assessment the address is: BX9 1AS, and that's it.

Edit: moreover, BX is the non-geographic code, whereas 'normal' postcode start with a geographic code, which is usually an abbreviation of the town.
You could use the embeddings to search for a relevant article or doc/docs then feed those in as input to chatgpt, followed by your question.
How Cybernetics connects computing, counterculture, and design
Just get a phone (iphone or android, your choice) and delete everything except camera, phone, sms. Include google maps and whatever else you want. You can even set parental restrictions and leave the code in a drawer to avoid needing to exercise self control.
Definitely "The way it is" -- but it does seem greedy. All systems drift toward the greediest possible implementation, though, in the absence of competition or regulation mandating otherwise, of which we have neither.
The issue is that time runs faster on the moon, so clocks will get out of sync, or you need to define a lunar second which will be different from an earth second. So pure UTC is not going to make it.

General relativity strikes again.
I agree we’re social, I just don’t entirely agree it’s unnatural to be solitary.

That ancestor probably has some tiny amount of bearing, though possibly negligible.

Language doesn’t prove the absence of natural solitude. It just shows we’ve been “pretty social” for a while.
OpenAI has some complicated setup about this. Part of it is non-profit and part of it isn't and there's some rules they laid out on how to keep it non profit first from what I've gathered
> If you just pass an array of data back and forth it's cheap.

Yes, and numpy is great, and all. Python works great as glue to marshal things to and from native code and do inexpensive (but possibly complicated) bits of control logic.

But if I'm trying to deal with large numbers of client requests, say... the lack of concurrency in python itself really hurts. Sure, I can punt almost everything to native code, but what's the point in having Python at all, then?

Not all problems have state that can be shared well across Multiprocessing or completely externalized to large lumps that travel to native code in a few calls-- I'd actually say these are special case exceptions than the rule.
Signal, Telegram, oh and you know - SMS.
Also - GSM.
Going all the way to native code is hard. I would probably recommend both of:

* Compilers, Principles, and Tools (the Dragon Book)

* Engineering a Compiler

You can skim a lot of the Dragon Book, but it will introduce you to a lot of the basics around type checking and generating code. Then Engineering a Compiler (which roughly assumes you have some familiarity with compilers already) does a very good job of walking through all of the key algorithms behind control flow analysis, register allocation, instruction selection, optimization, etc.
Essentially, we're looking at serous ecological collapses by 2040 or 2050. An awful lot of misery and pain is going to come from that. Maybe not the apocalypse, but it's not insane to question if the "tomorrow never comes" approach we're taking will last.

Going long on ammo, salt, and water purification might be a better deal. Knowing whatever new flavor of JS is great, but do you know how to grow rye in marginal conditions, or how to handload?
At minimum, you can argue it's game theoretical insurance.

If Starbucks is so magnanimous towards their employees today, they may not be that way tomorrow.

Corporate advocates for itself. Unions advocate for the employees.

Ideally, they strike a balance so that nobody's satisfied and the best compromise is reached.

Discarding unions leaves the door open for an imbalance of corporate power. (And, since corporations tend toward monopoly these days, that's a lot of corporate power.)
Can you imagine specifically what professional reputational harm you'd incur? Can you specifically list it out, and try to associate a dollar amount, or even just a 1-10 "good to bad" ranking?
> We get "defund the police", rather than "fire the bottom 10% of cops".

That's because we can't fire the bottom 10% of cops. Who gets to decide who the bottom 10% are? There are deeply engrained cultural issues, systemic perverse incentives, in most police departments in the country. If you ask them to fire 10% of their forces, it's more likely to be the people who speak out against the Clan Police than it is the "bad apples" you're thinking of.

Besides, while maybe only a small minority would brutally murder a man by kneeling on his neck for 8 minutes and 43 seconds while he cries for his mother, almost every single police officer on the force would stand there next to him and protect him while he did it. If you ran up and pushed the murderer off the man he's killing, trying to save his life, the other cops would beat you, possibly to death. Not 10% of them. 90% of them. You would be beaten and arrested. It's 90%. At least.

Whereas we can reduce funding to police departments; that is within the power of elected officials that the "defund" movement can help get elected.
Nice work! It looks like Sequel Pro for Postgres.

This might be the first free, user-friendly interface for Postgres out there. Closest would be TablePlus but it’s paid.
In general I'm annoyed by references to history.

Computing, internet, social media, smartphones...each of these jumps are unprecedented.
SARK is the inverse of ARK, it's not necessary for analysis, so remove it.

ARK tripled in value from April 2020 to Feb 2021. So you get very different results by picking a start date in 2020 or earlier.
I'm asking because I genuinely don't know who decided that this group should make the call regarding how the general population is referred to, especially that the general population is disregarded in this matter in favour of the mentioned group?

EDIT: to elaborate: I take issue to the fact that this word is used to describe not just people who wanted to be referred to like that, but the general population.
Did Apple actually say they wanted to do e2ee iCloud photos when they announced CSAM scanning, or were people only speculating this? I don't remember / can't find an announcement on that. Also curious if there's some law preventing them from doing e2ee without the scanning.
Actually, I think it sounds a lot better for the greedy companies that stand to profit from developing this "green" (as in the color of money) technology then for the passengers who'll have to take the hit in higher airfares.
Sure, but similar properties come with almost any store of wealth.

Don't take this as advocacy, it's not. There's plenty of strong arguments against crypto without having to resort to such truisms
> and evolves into Multi-Controlnet and then into MultiDiffusion

What the?

*googles multi-controlnet"

Wow. These diffusion models are like weeping angels. You really can't take your eyes off of them for long.
You keep arguing that the PM has no power, yet I seem to remember a certain one who had economic ideas that caused markets to panic and pension funds to almost implode.

It seemed to me like Johnson had quite the effect on how the pandemic was handled for another example.

Yet you keep arguing they have no influence.

Yes, they're not Saudi kings, nobody's arguing that. Yet you're underselling their power.

Also, it seems to me that you may be confusing democracy with tradition. Anyway, agree to disagree.
I believe time systems should be designed around the physics of the natural systems we inhabit. This may help us mere humans better harmonize with the rest of that which makes up our worlds.

This may sound a bit hippy dippy at first, but just consider how much light pollution effect other creatures, for a quick example.
I think this "Task and Purpose" is not related to Cappie's YouTube channel, for one thing he is not the author on this one. I'm pretty sure that at some time in the six months I did post one of his YT videos and had it trend.
Since the VF extension requires a state machine that can modify the font, it might be able to accomplish that, but my very quick read of the spec didn't let me grasp whether the SM executes once, or whether you can run it repeatedly.

(I am not a sufficiently clever person, obviously, and you probably wouldn't want to burn cycles on simulating that anyway. Nevertheless.)
I've never understood the origins of this argument. I'm pretty sure it's rooted in deep misunderstanding.

If I want to spam you I buy a bunch of numbers on Plivo and start sending your number messages with SMS, the existing standard. They show up in iMessage on your phone. The only difference is they're green instead of blue.

So, how do I need an iPhone to send you spam? iMessage doesn't do anything related to spam other than let you delete and report it.

But if it did work that way, then the standard could include that messages need to be signed with a device attestation key from an approved vendor or something like that. There could be a way to have your attestation keys registered like we do for CAs today so that your attestation hardware could be used. Phone manufacturers would all implement device attestation, like Apple and Google do.
> port 80 is very much a privileged port that most applications don’t have permission to host on

setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/program

But yes, until like the last 10 years or so. Also while it's possible nobody knows this information.

More interestingly, port 7475 (which is the most popular port besides 80 and 443) is set top boxes watching TV.
You've avoided making any argument about what value Apple is providing by forcing their ecosystem doen consumers throats & eliminating intercompatibility. Your whole argument is Apple can do what it wants, no matter how bad.

Personally I'd like to reason from principles, about what should be & what risks would be. If we want to discuss, I think allowing some speculation & consideration for what could be is required.

And the only arguments I see from the Stay Inside Castle Apple crowd are risk related, and they rely on the spreading of fear uncertainty & doubt, portraying a chaotic unsafe world where everything outside the castle wall is anarchy & disaster. Using fear like this is a broadly political tactic, is an argument towards a conservative outlook.

And it just feels unhinged, detached, & not reperesentative of the actual world.
Are you getting $48/year on Github? I'm on the sticker rate of $49/month. Doh!
Only on HN can one debate the purpose of legs.
I don't want this.

I think this is the worst idea.

I don't need Apple Message to work with Facebook or Android.

Who wants that? All it means is spammers from Facebook are going to find me on Apple Message. Oof.

Why do we think having government mandating what tech can do, or how tech can work, is a good thing?

Apple has made two dumb decisions in 40 years... the touchbar on the MBP, and all the dongles on the last-gen of MBP. Everyone is allowed to fail, but jumping straight to, "We need government to tell companies how things should work..." No, that's fucking cringe.

This just comes across as super anti-American. "We don't like that American companies doing stuff, let's penalize them!"

You can continue to put your trust in only Apple: the DMA also says users should be able to enable and disable interoperability.
I must have misunderstood; I thought linux was a unikernel, versus a microkernel.
I wonder how much if this is a result of corporate power fighting for ever-increasing economic inequality.

Class discussions about material wealth are excluded from the zeitgeist because they make the ultrarich people who control things uncomfortable and they don't want any discussion that could lead to change.

The war over language could perhaps be viewed as a way to enjoy the privileges of classism without the material requirements. It doesn't threaten capital, so it is amplified to drown out dissent.
Looking at what makes it to r/all, I think it's mostly about tribal political hot air and cute pictures. And then asking the same questions over and over on askreddit.

You can't divorce hobbies from some level of consumerism, half of what you mentioned is related to music. I can't imagine that a high percentage of redditors are interested in modular synths or boutique headphones. I think you have a conclusion in search of evidence, because that's what you think of people.

Notwithstanding that having some interest in specialty products doesn't necessitate that one "over"consumes. Your level of consumption doesn't scale with your subreddit subscriptions.

I don't understand the recreational sneering of consumption by other consumers, but I think the problem we have now is a culture of passive consumption (tv, social media, this site) rather than biasing towards action. Action doesn't preclude purchases.
You moved the goal posts and went from the price of an asset to something entirely different.
Thank you. I've been following these family of bugs for what feels like years (although this specific one has _only_ been open 6 years): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/16448

Typing out 85 review comments and having them swallowed by a 500 response because the frontend thought that of course XHRs are always 200 OK, why wouldn't they be? is indescribably infuriating
IMO a lot of the complexity of what an OS comes from:

* the illusion of multi-tasking! (context switching) (when you have one CPU-core)

* the bridge to your hardware! (e.g. ignoring the basics like your CPU/RAM/motherboard/IO devices,
network interfaces themselves are an endless, unreliable torrent of data!)

* security! (unless you are literally God and make everything yourself, you have to trust ~something~ external)

* and more....

and complexity for CPUs (even ignoring legacy cruft) comes from :

* Branch prediction

* Register renaming

* Optimizing dat IPC

* More hacks for performance!

* Performance!!!

* and more....

Because at the end of the day, no matter how "simple" things are, creating the universe from scratch is never simple
