> Okay, so, where is your training data? Is your training data in the layout which your training code can just linearly scan on S3? Or you have to transform them first? Or provision a dataset cache on-demamd? Is this data engineering or training orchestration?

Not claiming this is the only or best solution, but the way my team solved that was by creating an internal Python lib with common happy paths to access our infrastructure and processes. We deploy our data pipelines as FastAPI services and call them using Airflow. This architecture has scaled really well: we have 300+ data pipelines, even more schedules and 3 engineers. We use Knative so our AWS bill is quite cheap for the number of services we are running.

It all boiled down to treating ml / data engineering problems as common software problems.
Sometimes you gotta do boring meetings, and sometimes everyone has to be there.

Most of them could be better, have fewer people, be more focused, etc. -- sure, no doubt. But you can't make every meeting into an action-packed saturday morning cartoon.

Walmart continues to fail at helping me find a store. The search field doesn’t use device location, and requires a zip code. I don’t keep track of zip codes when traveling. I don’t even know the zip codes in the next county!

Correction: device location is broken (and has been for years?)
Yes. They did this at my company and no one that reapplied was hired.
Good point! But it's also an unstable system: the -1 will get attracted to one of the +2 charges and (from a distance) look like a +1, and the other charge will fly off to infinity.

I guess we could design a bunch of picometer-scale scaffolds that hold everything in place and this might work, but that doesn't seem to be the way nature put things.
The last part of this comment makes me realize you have no idea what the Finnish people want. Support for NATO went from 20% to 80% overnight on February 24th.

It is actually the exact opposite - the Finnish foreign policy establishment still had traces of Finlandization and “friendship and cooperation treaty” support that was shaken out by the general public.
It seems like y'all are arguing completely different points, which is often the case in conversations about hustle/motivation. You are both right

The value of what you are saying is that an individual can't change their circumstance, only make the best of it. This is true.

The value of what the OP is saying is that we should be aware of how our circumstances affect our chances. Be kind to ourselves if we fail, when it's so likely for us. And also that we should, if possible, change the circumstances for those who come after us.
That's right, this was a bummer to find out

The Gervais Principle in action
Well everyone was "Russian" officially. Khrushov was Ukrainian, same can be said with Gorbachev. Many Armenians. There is a concentrated effort to erase all the contributions of other nations of USSR and make Russians as the only builders and inheritors.
And this is different from Tsarist Russia where very few non-Russains were allowed to rise in the ranks. That's why large part of Communist movement was comprised from minorities since they were the ones who suffered more from the brutal Tsarist regime.

This looks quite interesting. So I have question for these AI powered editors: what advantage would a dedicated editor like this have over just using an AI plugin for VsCode? How do you fundamentally build the editor differently if you are thinking about AI from the ground up?

Are large monolithic enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems the antithesis of the composable enterprise architecture model?
Consider that there are different types of developers. This remains true in the context of “Devops”. Devops doesn’t mean web dev ops or something. Given that, how is MLops not a certain type of devops? It’s basically ML engineers figuring out how to deploy their systems to production, no?

Home contents policy usually cover theft outside the home up to 1–2k and you can get a rider if it’s too low. This usually include bicycles of any kind.

As for theft, there is little to no enforcement so it’s easy money for thieves.

However, there are things you can do to ensure the bicycle next to yours is stolen rather than yours. Look up the Sheldon brown locking technique which secured the frame and back wheel (the most expensive of the two) with a single ulock. There are also anti theft bolts that cost 20–30$/€/£ and will secure your saddle and quick release wheels. I use a kryptonite lock and thread the cable through the paniers handles so it’s annoying to steal as well. The battery has a key lock and I have an airtag in the bicycle. I remove the lights when parking and try to park in well lit busy areas or in underground parkings.

I was riding a regular bicycle in Canada for years, never got it stolen. Only once I made the mistake to park at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto late at night and some lowlife scum stole my airzound horn because it’s the only thing I hadn’t bolted down and it was the only bike on the rack… it’s worth 20$ but they took the time to unscrew it and steal it. But otherwise, nothing stolen because any other bicycle around was less hassle to steal parts or whole than mine and thus not worth the risk/time.
I'm sure there are lots of fun things to do with an Arduino that could recognize gestures; I'm very surprised nobody's "excited" by this?

For example, I made a photobooth simple device based on a Pi and a regular DSLR; the person takes a photo by pressing a button, then the Pi checks the camera and sends the latest image in a web gallery somewhere. The problem is the button: it needs a remote. If wired, it risks destroying the whole apparatus if someone pulls on the cord; if wireless, it risks being lost.

A gesture-based trigger would be super cool; but having it run on the Pi through the DSLR risks damaging the camera, so it should run on a different device, cheap and not too power hungry, such as an Arduino.

What about some kind of MIDI-controller based on an Arduino that could recognize gestures?

I also made a webapp to learn sight-reading (babeloop.com) but it requires users clicking or tapping on the screen, which is not natural.

It would be cool to be able to listen to users reading notes out loud and detect if they're right or wrong, on the fly, locally in a browser or on a phone. A light general speech recognition model such as VOSK is 40Mb and is able to recognize most phonemes; but for music sight reading, there are only 7 syllabes, so one should be able to make a much smaller model? I don't know how hard it would be though to train my own model...?
There was a news site that did something like that, I don't recall which. It was incredibly distracting and I think they started annotating ads in their popovers as well.

It doesn’t so for many/most humans either. I hope they have a revisions prompting, but I did not try it yet.

Yeah that's completely expected though I imagine. Buying S-400 something as advanced as AA or Fighter jets is basically the same as a long term future military partnership. It's not like buying socks or trucks. And buying such complex equipment from within the alliance comes with the equivalent promise not to share that tech with those who shouldn't have it.

I think in terms of arms deals Saab will benefit a lot from joining NATO. Gripen would likely have sold a lot better the last 15 years if it had been a NATO built plane.
Honestly, it baffles me how people can do this. I would typically have four working windows across a pair of monitors: one for the current primary code file, one for its interfaces (header file), one for its unit tests, one for documentation.

Similarly I resent the loss of 16:10 or taller monitors — I want those extra few lines of context.

Now, there was a time long long ago when I could work with a single 80x24 screen. But then I had a huge L-shaped desk with one printed listing for the current primary code file, one for its interfaces (header file), one for its unit tests (who am I kidding), one for documentation.
If charge is surface* effect, and mass a 'volume' effect, you might expect a ratio of 1.0/(0.5^[1/3]).

This is 1.26 (or 0.79).
Does not seem to fit experiment, even when fiddling with error bars. OK, so no volume vs surface effect then.
*Suppose that both gluon and quarks are really in the exact same region, but that the 'effective' behaviour is "on the surface" for one of them, while "in the whole volume" for the other. In three dimensions, the "effective" radio would differ, in one it would be a factor (0.5)^(1/3) smaller.

Some fields like Computer Science have had double blind review for some time. Others, not so much. Still, smart reviewers know who is working in which area. They can usually identify the other person pretty quickly. It's not always 100% accurate, but the people who you want doing the reviewing will be the ones who know the others in the field pretty well.
Seems like an arbitrary line. Lifting someone out of poverty is removing a barrier. Helping people make social connections is removing a barrier.
Yeah it turns out that convenience and observability is more important than accuracy most of the time. Someone should tell the SPICE software vendors.
It's not that hard to write assembly. Tedious is the word I would use. Learn how to express the basic operators of C in assembly (functions and parameters with the stack, do/while/if/for, array and struct indexing) and then write everything in pseudo-C and hand translate it to assembly.

Writing optimized assembly is a whole other question. But some variant of the above - pseudo-code or flowcharting, followed by close translation into assembly, is how most software in assembly was written, back in the day.

Assuming your program logic is correct to begin with, it's almost mindless. So mindless you could program a computer to do it.
"Devops" only means terraform monkey now. Just as "data engineer" is python/sql monkey.
Really depends. I’ve pretty much almost burned through all the cloud credits I’ve been able to find at this point. Probably spent 20 grand over a year in credits? Never more than a couple hundred of my own money. Still trying to find a better solution. I have some 2080 TIs that I use locally. I tend to prototype architectures locally then rent out some A100s for a few hours to see how it goes, continue training when I can spare the cash.

I do a lot of CPU and sharded training too. I really wish there were better options for hobbyists to play around with this stuff.
Bit of a tangent, but one of the things I really like about livebook[0] is that the documents are just markdown, and the codecells are literally just ```elixir``` blocks which make it quite nice to read and very version control friendly.

Sure but that plot wasn't stopped by TSA / at the airport.

The people also apparently were only convicted of bomb-making and nothing to with airplanes (allegedly being arrested to purchasing an airline ticket made the airline charges not stick).

As well as here's what the register had to say after learning about through the trial how the attack would've worked.

> Could the bombs have done that job, in fact?

> The answer, unusually, is yes. The three convicted bombmakers - unlike other UK-based terrorists seen recently - had everything ready to assemble devices which would have had a good chance of getting through airport security as it then was.

...

> Does the liquids limit prevent this kind of attack?

> No, not really.

> It's fairly easy to get round, in fact; a big team of terrorists with boarding passes for many different flights could bring many small amounts of liquid main-charge through security and combine them afterwards, still needing only one detonator, one firing device and one suicide bomber.

Ask HN: Why are tech companies allowing Hindu nationalism in their campuses?
In the name of diversity enrichment, like in this example case of: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hellofresh_ganeshfestival-socialchange-insidehellofresh-activity-6975394570914168832-U8vM/, why are tech companies literally allowing Hindu superiority and religious teachings in their campuses? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQn8X4FbpTM is another example of a tech company hosting a Hindu priest!
What happened to their secularism? What would have been the reaction if such a thing happened for something related to Christianity or even Islam? What would have been the reaction if a Christian or Muslim priest comes and does something like this? As everyone knows that Hindu nationalism is ruling India and it's even hijacked US and UK politics with RSS or Hindu nationalist organisation-backed politicians in power(https://jacobin.com/2023/03/india-modi-hindutva-lobby-nationalism-bjp, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/20/what-is-hindu-nationalism-and-who-are-the-rss). Are tech companies also being now controlled by RSS? These tech companies also allow direct hate content in the form of posts and comments by Hindu nationalists against other religions(https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-hate-speech-india-politics-muslim-hindu-modi-zuckerberg-11597423346). Is it a sign of so called developed tech industry which considers religions like Christianity and Islam as superstition supporting Hindu theocracy?
It's still a problem - and then you're stuck not able to try it on to see if it fits properly and is comfortable.

I've finally decided to take up mending just to be able to add pockets to more of my clothes - esp stuff for around the house. Most of the time if you find pockets, they're too small to put anything in! I'd rather put in the effort to make clothes match my style AND be comfortable/useful than wait for shops and brands to figure it out. Because they really don't seem to care.
>Whether that specific question was in the training corpus or not, there are enough words in the sentence to suggest a positive association, including, significantly, "worthwhile." That alone possibly serves to narrow the answers down to A or B, with a preference for B, because it's more likely that "worthwhile" and "letter to x mother" are associated with "enamored" in general English-language text.

This is reasoning, what you've described is reasoning.
> It does amuse me that we're still at more people hiring than looking for jobs. It's a stark contrast to other industries, where the power is normally in the hands of employers.

I can certainly empathize with your perspective and I find myself in agreement with it too. My frustration with function coloring primarily stems from its implementation in JavaScript/TypeScript. I believe that even with the use of colored functions there is potential for a more enhanced developer experience.

It was added as a part of a reauthorization of the original Patriot Act.

US Federal policy making and legislation is a bit like calvinball. And for misc reasons, Congress tends to pass large (omnibus) bills, instead of more reasonable units of work.

As an outsider looking in, I collect and read stuff about "the sausage factory".

Here's one study that looks past the folk theories, to illuminate how some example laws came to be. Similarly comprehensive books could be written about most all major legislation.

SYMPOSIUM: UNORTHODOX LAWMAKING, UNORTHODOX RULEMAKING

https://www.columbialawreview.org/content/unorthodox-lawmaki...

"The Schoolhouse Rock! cartoon version of the conventional legislative process is dead, if it was ever an accurate description in the first place. Major policy today is often the product of “unorthodox lawmaking” and “unorthodox rulemaking”—deviations from tradi­tional process marked by frequent use of omnibus bills and multiple agency implementation; emergency statutes and regulations issued without prior comment; outsourcing to lawmaking commissions and unconventional delegates; process shortcuts outside of emergencies; presidential policymaking; and outside drafters, some nonpartisan and others hyperpartisan. These unorthodoxies are everywhere, and they have shifted the balance in the elected branches and beyond, often centralizing power in actors—like party leadership and the White House—not traditionally part of the core lawmaking and rulemaking processes. These unorthodoxies are the new textbook process."

What is the benefit of having low res monitors?
I have NAS so I just installed syncthing instance on it, after nth time commandline dropbox thing managed to break itself.

The NAS instance is backed up together with rest things on NAS and overall it has been pretty much drama-less experience.

The disadvantage is I can't just log on web and download files on random machine (I guess that would be possible if I re-shared the directory in something like nextcloud), but I don't really need that feature.
I started and run an e-commerce company, and my best advice before starting a business is to think very little about what you want your product to be and a whole lot about what you want your lifestyle to be.

Want to have relaxing end-of-year holidays? Don't start a B2B SaaS company in which you're going to close a huge % of your yearly revenue in the last few days of the year.

Want to be able to travel? You're probably better off with an internet business than a brick-and-mortar store.

Want to be able to eventually step back? You need to make sure that there's a path to lessening your involvement over time without hurting the business.

I started mine during the pandemic and got it to profitability. It's not world-shifting money, but it produces solid cashflow. At that point, rather than trying to raise money and aggressively scale, I automated as much as I could. Got a manufacturer to make the products. Found a 3PL to handle fulfillment. Went through all the common types of support emails I got and made sure those questions were addressed proactively in the product or emails, so I get basically no support emails. Handed off bookkeeping to a professional.

Some of that has changed (the 3PL was terrible and for now I'm doing some fulfillment myself and using Amazon for the rest), but overall I'm only spending a few hours a week on the business. I write marketing emails, ship some product and place orders for stuff as needed.

The really nice thing is that I can move things on or off of my own plate as my workload changes. I'm working a full time PM job that I'm loving, and my wife just had a baby, so I might offload the marketing emails soon (but honestly they're super quick and I often just reuse last year's, so that's tough to justify). If I leave my job, I could definitely move manufacturing in house to expand margins.

I think more than anything, it's those qualities of the business that make it great for me (definitely more than the product).
> Yet, everyone misses reproducibility and data versioning :)

Delta Lake/Apache Iceberg solves that.
The war hawks here think Russia fully mobilized, Russia which pushed the Wehrmacht back to Berlin in 1945 would have had more than minor difficulty taking over Finland in 1945. Perhaps they should read some history books, even US history books. The present may be cloudy, but the 1940s are less so - listen to their hawkish views, then consider how clear their view of history is.
Thanks for reposting this. Sounds so eerily similar to my last principal that I wonder if it's the same guy, although I'm sure this is a common phenomenon.
Aren't ML models trained using a reward/punishment loop? (back propagation). If we have an AI that can learn from its experience, then pain will be failure to reach its goals and pleasure will be the opposite. Animals work in the exact same way (goal being survival and reproduction). We just need to make sure that survival and reproduction are never the goal (either directly or indirectly) of an AI and we should be safe.
I still haven't heard a reason I'm supposed to be wrong that isn't based on the (incorrect) color of my skin.
Yes, I agree with that. I'd say that changes to the running codebase would need (slightly) more formality than changes to the test codebase, but yes, if tests are a feature e.g. because they feed into regulatory output, then they should also be ticketed.

I don't find that a Jira ticket takes more than 2 minutes to write though, so maybe there's a difference in terms of number of mandatory fields.
Replaced, they could not reproduce the problem.
