I'm looking to return to work after a sabbatical. I tend to describe myself as a "data generalist"—I can build a modern data stack on my own (if I need to!), with a data warehouse, ETL, Analytics Eng, ML and DS, streaming, etc. Also comfortable with backend SWE, not comfortable setting up infra on my own. I have five years of experience, on AWS.

My preference would be to work on a data-intensive or ML-intensive customer-facing product at a smaller company. But I'd be open to internal data platform or business intelligence work, in the right environment. No companies > 1000 headcount. Ideally role will involve ML and DS. Top priority is to work in an effective org with effective people.

To be pedantic, we experienced writing approximations of these numbers in decimal arithmetic.
Not all cannabis is smoked. There's more shelf space devoted to edibles and oils in the dispensaries around here.

And, even more bizarrely, their audiences don't seem to care about quality either.

my wait was for a day, but then I also had beta access to GPT-3 and Dall-E 2. perhaps that’s why?

> I wouldn't call the doctrine "incomprehensible"; it's just beyond human understanding, in a way that we could contemplate it for the rest of eternity without reaching the fullness of what God has planted in that seed of knowledge.

I am trying but failing to see the difference here. It sounds like what you're saying is, "I wouldn't call the doctrine incomprehensible, it's just that we (as humans) can't comprehend it"

> It's easy to believe in the Trinity if you approach it as a little child, as Jesus encourages, and if we word it simply as the Fathers did.

If you approach it as a little child, it's also very easy to believe in Santa Claus, but that doesn't make it any more true (or any more likely to be true either).

> What is the scope of Cannabis related costs (such as gov covered rehab, disability from those that did dangerous stuff on drugs, O.D.'s or took something contaminated, non employment from those that cannot hold a job, what amount of social cannabis is a gateway to heavier stuff, etc.)

You've framed this question as though cannabis is the same as meth or something so the question is a bit bad-faith. I'd suggest researching a bit on the topic if you're actually curious.

TPM is more or less an API specification. The specification is fine but people are worried about implementation backdoors and pre-provisioned keys. It should be possible to have an open source public trustable implementation that anyone can synthesise onto an FPGA or a real chip design. This ought to avoid fears about backdoors, while keeping a mature security model and good software support. I suspect there isn't sufficient demand or skill for such a project.
A lot of stuff is moving to web/cloud stuff, but we are not there entirely.

As one example, I had to take a proctored exam recently, and the only supported OS was Windows or MacOS. Linux was not an option.

Then there is games, Proton is great but plenty of AAA titles are still not compatible.

Just for starters.
does decimal numbers mean fractions or real numbers?

If it means fractions only, they are countable.
No, but I'd love to see some done. I just have anecdotal evidence, although it is a lot of it as I have been friends with a lot of potheads in my life.

Reddit is also not a source for anything, but it does confirm that my anecdotal evidence is not limited to my friend circle: https://www.reddit.com/r/leaves/comments/10vgauo/why_does_no....

I agree about their being more competitive companies, but I disagree that co-ops prevent that.

What is it you think about their structure that limits them?

And regardless of your answer, whatever issues may or may not exist and be limiting, rules and limitations can be adjusted as needed. The fundamental principle is that workers would have more of a say to some extent, but more importantly receive more of the profit that their work produces.
But it's not a metaphor, it's literally how browsers as clients relate to webpages. Your browser is essentially just a very specialized document viewer. It's capability to enable those documents to dynamically incorporate other internet resources (like Amazon or Hotels.com do) even has "document" in it's name: Document Object Model. Sure, those other resources can be a component of the site, but they're mostly useless without that document providing interaction with them.
Lots of applications (specifically dev-oriented ones to be fair) will have a part in the Windows Installer where you can tick a box that says something like "open .xyz with APP_GETTING_INSTALLED". Some better ones give you a list of file extensions that you'd like to open with the installing app.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but it isn't mutually exclusive with having the government do what it can do educate the public in order to get them behave more responsibly and civically minded. Obviously this would require a bit of a re-think in terms of what we value as a society. Doesn't mean that it isn't worth trying.

Choking's sort of an interesting case for this, because it's one where someone should (ideally) also be doing it safely. Someone can enjoy it and consent to it, but not be sufficiently educated to do it without more risk than they realize. (This applies to many acts, but this one's particularly potentially-lethal.)

Porn, being a fantasy, rarely shows the prep-work required to do something properly. This is what I personally worry about when it comes to setting the wrong expectations in kids who haven't had that whole "this isn't representative of real sex" context properly set, leaving them thinking they can reproduce what's happening on-screen without realizing the background work required...
Interesting thought. Sturgeon’s Law is normally referring to the quality of things created honestly, like sci fi novels, and not to the level of dishonesty or disinformation. I’ll have to think about whether those are actually different, but I feel like it’s relevant in the sense that Sturgeon’s Law is normally tautological: you can decide for sci fi novels what percent of them you would define as “good”, and the rest are “crap”. 90% always works, but so does 80% or 98%, the top group is always better than the bottom group by definition. So in that sense, saying that 90% of information might be dishonest and justify skepticism isn’t supported by Sturgeons Law, I think.

You may not have any such desire but imagine if you died and your kid was adopted by an abusive person you _would_ want the state to intervene. I'm as unsatisfied as you are about the current political situation in the United States, but the solution isn't to just demand the government withdraw. It is to actually engage _more_ politically and with an understanding of what the true responsibilities of the state are.

The state will _inevitably exercise power_. Only a vigilant citizenry can hope to modulate it.

> That may not sound like much but in many environments, that difference is enough to make solar panels not worth keeping

Is this satire? 80% efficiency is definitely still worth keeping around. You may want to replace the panels, but they also recycle well in that case. I'd rather keep around 20-25 year old panels than necessarily have to replace them if I didn't want the cost of a new installation.

Panel installation is not free. Neither are permits and any other part of the process. Things are NOT getting cheaper at this point, they are becoming more expensive (and possibly more capable, but that's debatable). There is no Moore's law for solar.

So in 2022, nothing happened in Ukraine, and in 2020, nothing happened in Azerbaijan.

They don't show Crimea as Ukrainian controlled, at least.

I like how they have delimiting lines for Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but not coloring. Same for Kosovo.

Nothing of significance has ever happened in Bosnia.

Apparently, in 1984 Turkey has deoccupied North Cyprus.

Taiwan is China, nothing to see here.

Makes me think this map is ill-suited to display late XX century conflicts onwards.
Please note, though, that's imperative to then go for a BitLocker TPM+PIN configuration at least. A standalone (discrete) TPM with TPM-only protectors can be attacked by bus sniffing, a hardware attack much simpler than ours. [1]

The beauty of a discrete TPM is its anti-hammering protection, making a numerical PIN a very effective security measure (akin to a SIM/SmartCard).

Wow, Mozilla is acquiring a side-project that's actually useful? Color me pleased. Beats wasting time on an a commodity VPN service.
Eh, not a great bit of rhetoric.

TPM = Trusted Platform Module. Trusted is an adjective modifying platform. The business case is that software should not run on untrusted platforms because hardware can always attack software. So, the promise is that TPM will allow software to guarantee* to users that the hardware is not malicious.

* as much as one can guarantee anything in tech
In a way, the entire differential diagnosis process and treatment planning is already based on data. Your doctor and insurance companies don't think you're special. Autoimmune problems are so varied, everything from testing to biopsy to diagnosis to treatment is based on a slow moving and incomplete body of knowledge and doctors are generally conservative when it comes to straying from the pack. It's why published research is so important for doctors to keep up with. Luckily these antibiotics are cheap so insurance didn't even come into the equation for me.
But who are they signaling to when they do this? Not the person they're arguing with. Not me, either, if I'm reading the conversation. To me, they're signaling "I refuse to actually consider anything the other person says. All I will do is argue and repeat my talking points. I might as well be a robot."

They're signaling to the people who pay them, and to the people who might hire them in the future, not to their readers. To their readers, they're kind of anti-signaling. I mean, are many people genuinely persuaded by whoever can yell the longest? (Because that's what they're doing. They always reply with something, and that something is never an indication that the other side might have even a shred of a point. But is anyone actually persuaded by some "brick wall" posting the last word at the end of some long back-and-forth?)
There's a certain amount of cosmic irony involved whenever someone calls LLMs 'stochastic parrots' or whatever.
Yup, in the late 80's, and 90's I worked on several AS/400's. The video doesn't mention that not only is SQL a part of the OS, the hardware (microcoded) actually has instructions for SQL. It's part of the CPU!
I think both of what you said is valid. I think it's important not to confuse "emergent" and "expected." Who said emergence shouldn't be expected? This paper I think more argues that nonlinear metrics creating sharp plots is "expected," but in my point of view it is still and emergent property. As you said, some metrics like accuracy are important and unreplaceable. As

Hi, I’m Cameron. I’ve been programming for my own projects for ~13 years, and professionally for four. I’m comfortable and experienced in teaching myself whatever I need to solve the problem in front of me, and a polyglot who’s tinkered with Python, Lua and a little Haskell and Racket in addition to the languages I’ve used professionally.

I previously worked as a backend developer for two and a half years on Bedful, a SaaS booking management system for campsites, and then for about six months as a full-stack developer at Hipcamp (Airbnb for camping) after that company was acquired.

I'm looking for an IC position working broadly on the backend, somewhere with interesting problems to solve and a culture that values potential and growth. Prefer working remotely and have experience collaborating across timezones from California to Canberra, but am open to hybrid with an office in London as well for the right opportunity.

Also open to freelance and contract work.
All this effort for nothing making life difficult for the end-user. Physical video splitters are a thing. They are asked to respect HDCP, but they don't have to. It's how streamers are able to play a game on their monitor while also streaming the video of them playing the game.
I'm concerned legal cannabis with very high tax rates has created an ideal situation for criminal cartels. A criminal group can utilize legal businesses for growing expertise, cleaning money, etc. Meanwhile, the criminals may be more than happy to use extreme violence and forced labor to get their way.

I've seen things online about illegal grow operations in CA with a surprisingly bad impact on the environment since apparently the individuals managing these rural greenhouses don't care about litter or pollution, just like they probably don't care about their laborers. The law has given their mules protection to move products, and their customers a financial incentive to go with the risky illegal pot.

It’s funny to see half of HN clutch pearls when a segment of society doesn’t want their kids addicted to digital porn.

No one’s stopping you; it’s to stop kids from ramping up what might be the most societally acceptable hardcore addiction.

There are elected representatives that push for these changes, this is how the society in the US is structured. If you want a different set of rules, get elected or change states.

I never said there was a constitutional issue (I don't think that there is).

The difference between showing ID to a clerk and this sort of thing is recordkeeping. A clerk is only checking the DOB on the ID, not keeping a record of your identity[1]. Online age checks keep records.

If there were some way of doing an age check without having your identity attached to it or having to expose yourself to some commercial third party, I wouldn't have an issue. That's a tough nut, though.

Yup, that's a copy of part of it.

Because when buying alcohol, you can for the most part (outside of online purchases, but even then the courier can check an ID upon delivery hypothetially) verify it fairly easily. With online porn, the scale and complications doing it put a much bigger burden on the providers.

Additionally porn has a much bigger stigma than alcohol, so keeping record of what you watch, especially if you're into something more niche connected to your name can be used to discredit political opponents or even single out certain group due to abuse of power. A good example would be exposing a conservative politician that watches gay porn. Not that would necessarily be a bad thing, but there is no equivalent to this with alcohol - oh you drink tequilla, but you're whole ideology is based on drinking whiskey...

To me, ChatGPT's output is indistinguishable from what I've seen offshored coders produce. Only difference is you get the results in 30 seconds in a chat window instead of overnight in a zip file emailed to you.

There are whole businesses here in America that only do rewrites for offshored projects.
It feels like this business has no real "moat." But I think for once that's not really a problem: I would hope Google decides they need to add comparable functionality to a browser!

And then maybe it can begin expanding for more general use... detecting likelihood of any content being artificial... hmm I'm scared again.
Banking is fundamentally broken. People want zero risk, demand deposits that pay interest. There’s no business model that can provide that.

It would be perfectly possible for a business to provide zero risk demand deposits—-but the business would have to charge customers for its custodial operations rather than making money by writing loans.

Of course because we live in times where no one can tell the people that what they want is impossible and ridiculous, we instead have a house of cards with various parts of the government (including parts we pretend aren’t the government) eating the risks.
How is it user hostile when it protects people's privacy while also meeting the needs of advertisers? It's a win win.

When corporations write the laws that regulate them, and they buy the politicians who will enact those laws, the line around what defines "the state" is a bit fuzzy. (And that's not speculative, it happens all the time.)
I once slid my iPhone unlocked into some lightly damp swim trunks. It proceeded to open Instagram, post fire emoji on someone’s story, and then upload a very inappropriate photo to someone in an Instagram DM. and then start a few more DM convos.

I would never believe this story if someone told me it. It took me a while to accept it, myself. Instagram was also in a really weird state when I opened it probably because some multitouch gestures were held the entire time.

I don’t think I even bothered to tell anyone that I butt-messaged my excuse.

Anyways needed to get that off my chest.
