As a fellow evangelist of the SQL + Pandas hybrid workflow, I’m a happy camper with Pandas’ built-in read_sql_query and to_sql.

Only big pain points are having to ship around boilerplate to construct SQLAlchemy create_engine URIs, and the performance limitations of SQLAlchemy’s inserts (if moving anything larger than a few gigs, it typically pays to ditch to_sql, and write a db-specific bulk insert process instead).
But the point was that I don't think they grow out from the base but instead from the tips! Branching wouldn't even be possible otherwise. A broken off antler tip may not regenerate, yes, but the reason is more like it develops scar tissue over the wound rather than just being made of inanimate protein like nails are.

My issue with these browsers, including Firefox with things like fingerprint resisting enabled, is that it breaks a lot of sites. Add a VPN to the mix and a lot of sites flat out refuse to let you interact with them, or they give you 5 minutes of captchas, or they require 2 factor login despite asking them to remember your device. I have to open some sites (banking, brokerage, health insurance) on a near-daily basis in Chrome with no extensions and no VPN instead of my regular firefox+vpn.

A lot of sites allow interaction even with the above but they shadowban you without telling you. Craigslist shadow bans and auto-spam-filters any submissions done with a VPN, and then also auto-spam-filters any subsequent submissions on the same account even with the VPN turned off.

Reddit also universally spam-filters any submissions and comments done under a VPN, and rate limits your commenting a shitload on VPNs.

I previously worked as a product engineer at Amplitude for nearly 7 years.

I'm looking for interesting IC work as part of a small team. If you need someone that can build a React UI, stand up web services from scratch, or anything in between I might be your person.
I’ve always thought of the array index operator:

a[index]

as syntactic sugar for the pointer arithmetic:

*(a + index)

From this point of view, the existence of a “backwards” index operator makes sense; the arithmetic evaluates to the same address.
If you can’t use an AM radio in an electric vehicle your vehicle is violating FCC regulations.
I use DuckDB because I can express complex analytic queries better using a SQL mental model. Most software people hate SQL because they can never remember its syntax, but for data scientists, SQL lets us express our thoughts more simply and precisely in a declarative fashion — which gets us query plan optimization as a plus.

People have been trying to get rid of SQL for years yet they only end up reinventing it badly.

I’ve written a lot of code and the two notations I always gravitate toward are the magrittr + dplyr pipeline notation and SQL.

The chained methods notation is a bit too unergonomic especially to express window functions and complex joins.

Spark started out with method chaining but eventually found that most people used Spark SQL.
Let me turn the question around.

People join mastermind groups because they hope to get specific benefits that the groups advertise that they may give. This is an implicit declaration of success.

For which of these forms of success is there evidence that the group works? When you have to pay to be a member (particularly for celebrities like Tony Robbins), is there strong evidence that it is actually worth the money? Note, there are strong psychological biases that makes us tend to justify money we've spent, whether or not it was actually worthwhile. I'm looking for external evidence.

There is considerable evidence for benefits for various kinds of mentoring and peer groups. We can see that because people who put their money where their mouths are, like venture capitalists, encourage those behaviors. But I'm not aware of any independent evidence that highly paid "masterminds" are actually worth the money that people pay for them.

And, given the burden of proof, it really should be on them to provide that evidence. They don't.

Now to fitness trainers. There are lots of kinds of fitness trainers, on lots of kinds of business models. But it isn't hard to find fitness trainers like https://www.homeexercisecoach.com/personal-trainer-guarantee... who guarantee your results or you get your money back. That's pretty strong evidence that at least some fitness trainers know how to do things that really work. And I'd personally be willing to pay a premium for someone who is willing to provide a guarantee of results over someone who isn't.
“If you need a stapler or tape, the receptionist desk has them to borrow.”

So each stapler use requires, say, a 5 minute detour (minimum, not counting lost focus or queueing) to the receptionist. At Google salaries, that's easily $10 in cost, so it's difficult to conceive how Google is expecting to come out ahead in the bargain.
275k/year is less than one FTE, even given your favorable estimates of a really fancy stapler given to everyone when they walk in the door. (Bulk mediocre staplers are like $3, but a 10 year estimate is high, so we'll take it).

Presume an employee proposes this change. Some additional people have to approve and implement this new policy, updating documentation training and budgets and adding it to some inventory system and now you've spent in total, weeks or months of collective effort to maybe come out ahead but maybe just break even.

Modern puppetry cannot do away with CGI. The sets and the movement is too complex, the effects are too complex, too.

In the very first seconds of the report you see a complex animatronic cat moving across a blue ackground that will be used to cut away scaffolding, stitch together different parts of the movie etc.

What they mean to say, I believe is "we want to do as much in camera as possible, and use CGI as the last resort". That's why they specifically mention that snowflakes are hand-animated in-camera.
the earlier strains were probably more deadly than the ones we have now, no? just due to the nature of how viruses work that's my hypothesis.
You do realize that tor is open source and has been under scrutiny by some of the worlds leading security researchers? It may not be 100% perfect, but claiming it’s useless and ineffective simply because it was born out of government research is completely asinine.
> If Apple sacrifices margins they risk losing out on those high margin sales return in a few years time.

Changing the official price is not the only way to go. Apple is one of very few places which doesn't regularly run sales and promotions to adjust the sales of their products. They could easily run an Easter sale that takes a month, then something else again. This wouldn't change their margins long term.

Do they do it in a way that each GPU can have smaller memory than the model weights?

I keep seeing references to these absolutely massive 48GB+ gpu memory sizes and those are extremely expensive. If more but smaller memory gpus can work that could open up a much larger range of hardware and individuals to run inference, especially if efficient load/unload of weight layers from raid pcie5 nvme devices is feasible.
For the Russian threat in particular, I simply don't see a way for Russia to attack Sweden without inherently having to attack Finland, Norway or Denmark also. Sure, they might fly some planes & bomb some things, but that won't win a war by itself. There's just no viable beach head attack route purely from international waters to Sweden -- the defense plan for the Baltic sea is based on mine blockades, and Swedes excel at submarine operations, so I'd think a direct attack by sea from such a singular direction would be pretty hopeless, if the attack really is constrained by not wanting to touch the neighbors.

Half of the new features of "modern" C++ editions leave me agreeing with the change but wondering what they were thinking before. Another example: std::map::contains was introduced in C++20; why did they go decades thinking it wasn't necessary to have such an operator (instead providing only count() even though a map has unique keys), and why did they change their minds only now? Did the old guard literally die off or something?

1. You have the option of not serving some countries. That is the most obvious one.

2. Ask the question to your payment processor on how they handle this.

3. If you (or your b2b clients) are in a regulated industry (for eg: US Healthcare or FinTech) and your employees or contractors handle Protected Health Information (PHI)/Personally Identifiable Information (PII), you may need to run every one of those employee's or contractor's information against the sanctions list (for the US this includes Federal and state lists) on a monthly basis. There are many companies that provide this as a service for a fee. (Ethico - formerly ComplianceLine is a company serving the healthcare industry for sanctions checks for US. https://ethico.com/)
GPT-4 Was Deeply Racist Before OpenAI Muzzled It
Well GPT4 certainly fulfils the existing definitions of reasoning, so maybe you should call your thing something else instead of redefining ‘reasoning’ to mean something different?

Otherwise it’s just moving the goalposts.

Would love to hear how "common knowledge" like this deals with circular dependencies. And since this is HN, please reply as quickly as possible, and only from first principles.

Problem: "present day woman" turns her head to the man stepping out of the lambo, who is shorter than the man in the hybrid, so she turns her head toward the taller man, who is driving a hybrid, so she turns her head toward the man stepping out of the lambo, who is shorter...

I don't dispute that legacy cruft is a problem, but I don't see how "not modern" (which still isn't defined) necessarily means legacy cruft. ARM or MIPS aren't especially recent in ISA terms, but I think most would agree each has less cruft in it than x86, for example.

Tea for God is a VR game that uses whatever physical space you have and generates Euclidean Orbifold levels based on that. It feels like you're progressing further and further into the game, but the levels are just folding in amongst each other, you 'get on elevators' that take you somewhere else, etc, and in actuality you're just walking around a bunch pretty much in circles.

A good compromise I have found is to use Django Ninja [1]. It is inspired by FastAPI, so it has a lot of the nice things like the automatically generated Swagger/OpenAPI docs, as well as having routers as decorators, and using python types for automatic serialization.

While I think FastAPI is great in its first class async support, Django has the Django ORM, plus Django Admin, which for me have been indisposable.

I grew up in an abusive environment, and have dealt with the process of unwinding C-PTSD for much of my life (now mid 30s). The environment I escaped is the type of environment that books about learned helplessness (a concept at the center of modern therapy) are written about. I mention this only to add context to my personal experience, and to highlight that the mindset I had to escape was ingrained from the earliest age. In short, there was little to no "supporting the development of agency", and in most cases, the exact opposite was true.

The process of therapy, whether that's CBT, ACT, etc. are all about making incremental changes that eventually all combine to rewire how you think and/or act. The entire therapy journey consists of these kinds of small changes along with active processing of past events to free up mental capacity. I'm highlighting therapy here because the related disciplines have been studied extensively.

The same concepts apply in other contexts (and are common in fields like software). Outside of traditional methods of therapy, practices like mindfulness meditation have been studied quite a bit, and there is a growing body of research on its benefits [0]. In particular, it seems to lower friction for hard things by helping you see more clearly the reality of why you're struggling with doing things, and why not doing them is often worse in the long run.

> I would challenge that from the getgo.

To clarify, what are you challenging, specifically? The idea that small changes are easier to execute than large ones?

This has been the subject of deep exploration across many walks of life, and on the personal improvement front is at the center of books like Atomic Habits, which itself is based on a foundation of research. The reason small changes work is that we absorb them into our daily routines until they no longer require active thinking to accomplish.

Part of what happens is that you also start confronting the bad reasoning you've been using to justify not acting. Embarrassingly, I had to re-establish basic habits like brushing my teeth. Clarity through mindfulness led to the realization that avoiding the tiny annoyance of doing this each day would be far less painful than the eventual dental issues I would otherwise suffer. I always knew that, but pausing to actually think clearly is what turned that knowing into a deep realization.

It sounds like your big objection here is to using ChatGPT to generate entire paragraphs of text.

I agree: I think it's rude to expect people to spend more time reading something than you spent writing it!

But... there are still plenty of ways to integrate ChatGPT-like-tools into a writing process that I think avoid disrespecting your audience like that. I use it as a thesaurus, or to suggest ways my writing could be improved, or as a brainstorming companion for example.
