While that would be nice, it's not exactly revolutionary. We can already build cables to transmit power over vast distances and can certainly imagine a world where we do the same, but with higher efficiency. The computer transformed how we live our lives and reshaped our culture, to the point where what we are doing right now - casually chatting with anonymous people spread around the globe about a scientific paper that we can all read at our leisure immediately upon publication - was inconceivable within living memory.

Just a side note: you can be highly successful with less than 50% win rate. Many trend following strategies are 30/70 but are still profitable due to how much they win when they are right and how little they lose when they are wrong. The expected value is what matters not a high win rate.

There are plenty of ideas like carbon tax, or more clumsy ones like higher gasoline tax, banning gasoline cars, etc. But no country has sufficient buy-in to do anything that even just is a little inconvenient.
Then SO's reasonms for this policy need to be explained more.

The aim of SO is to provide answers to a question.

You do not want many questions with the same answer as if you have a new answer or a comment on this duplicate answer you need to then add it to all the questions. Thus we want to collapse all these multiple questions into one.

Also the person who I was replying to did noit seem to understand that they were a moderator, moderators are not a separate set of people to users.
It wouldn't surprise me. It's very dumb, but not surprising.
It's really hard to build on top of something that you don't know how it's build.

With Code, a lot of things crumble and break while adding on top of something so beware.
> There are even some psychiatrists that consider all mental issues to be problems with brain metabolism, i.e. physical problems manifesting in psychical ones.

Yes, because medicine is ultimately a customer-serving profession, there will be plenty of people saying the things that people want to hear because they are paid to retain customers and people elevate things that are similar to what they want to hear.

People are very uncomfortable with the mental, hence it is now popular to hear very mechanistic explanations of why someone is depressed, etc. about 'brain chemical imbalance' because it makes someone feel less like it is something wrong with who they are as a person (the mind-body dualism is still very present for most people in Western cultures). Of course, ultimately everything (including the functioning of our mind) is mechanistic, but people seem to be more comfortable with very mechanistically couched explanations as compared to 'something is wrong with my mind!' even when the implications aren't all so different.
But every hurricane season we hear it, it’s been talked about with the Canadian wildfires, locally in Minnesota they’ve been blaming our recent droughts on it, etc.

It wasn’t all that long ago that interviewed climate scientists would say that you couldn’t attribute individual events to climate change. Now they constantly do. I feel like I hear it every other time I tune in to NPR.
I am a bit perplexed by your comment.

We can acknowledge that many Doctors have mismanaged Obesity in the past (and still do). Shame is not a valid treatment option.

But if social media is any indication (and thats a big if, I don't personally know any doctors to confirm or deny if this is really the case) than there is also a disturbing trend of people not wanting to talk about this with their doctor. Of it being noted in their records to not talk about their weight.

Which I don't understand, do I love it when I go to the doctor and and I am told they would like me to loose some weight? No. At least at the doctor I am at that actually leads into a discussion about diet, activity, etc.

But to ignore it is doing me a disservice. Like I can't imagine any other thing about my health telling my doctor, I don't want to talk about that and let's ignore it. At best if there are multiple things we need to talk about, we put a pin in it and say we will make a future appointment for it.

Also... Health, diet, etc are all complex things and it isn't as simple as "filled with sugar".

It seems to me that the bitter lesson is a counter-argument of sorts to intelligence explosion: the idea that stacking more layers is more effective than trying to be really clever about it may well persist through all levels of intelligence. To put it in another way, if the bottleneck in the progress of intelligence, or of technology in general, is not intelligence, then greater intelligence will be of limited utility in accelerating it.
CNN is led by the people who sell garbage “reality” tv shows on Discovery channel and whatnot. That should give people enough pause before investing much in what CNN publishes.

I see that PRQL is compiled to SQL. How do you deal with different type of SQLs? i.e Snowflake/Postgres/Clickhouse? Isn't it a potentially impossible abstraction or at least there will be places where you will need to use the native support sql language (unless of course databases will adopt that in the first place which might be great)?
Protocols have many aspects, and the serialization format is often the least important among them, although it definitely attracts most attention, as it's the easiest to get acknowledged with deeply enough to be able discuss it.

XML back then (late 90s-early 00s) was quite an ubiquitous format, more popular than JSON. Websocket itself was drafted in 2010, so you wouldn't be able to come up with something better than a "never-ending stream of XML/JSON messages".

The single objectively positive aspect of XML is namespaces. It is very important for "extensibility" part of the protocol, as it allows you to introduce custom elements, which are namespaced by your org's domain name. Protocols such as Matrix [1] and ActivityPub [2] use JSON as the serialization format, but they too support extensibility, and therefore they have to implement namespacing. Which they do, but very differently.

Looking for patterns in charts is stock market astrology, but technical analysis is a broad term that goes beyond just that. An analysis of 10,000 institutional portfolios found technical analysis provided a small but statistically significant return advantage [1].

Perhaps the way most retail investors or get-rich-quick schemes use technical analysis (looking for patterns in charts) is astrology. But the big boys and institutional investors seem to profit from certain types of technical analysis. Highly reccomended watching this video by Benjamin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN6P9ErUcOg

Essentially:

- Chart patterns are uselesss

- TA by itself is useless

- Using TA in tandem with a bigger strategy can (and is statiscally shown to) provide an edge

Doesn't "technical analysis" mean pretending that you can ignore that it is Tesla or NVIDIA and just believe that the time-series itself tells you what comes next. I.e. you believe that there is some "nature" of stock ticker data independent of the financials and business environment of the particular company.
I have been using AI generated surveys using the playground and have found them quite effective in simulating responses. In fact they are incredibly similar to my experience asking the same questions IRL. The challenge is people don’t trust them and AI still have this negative association. So yes I mean to say it’s yet another human error.
> In 2023, the software engineering industry faces a record-breaking shortage of professionals. This skills crisis has resulted in an astonishing 1 million tech job vacancies that still need to be fulfilled. Reports suggest that the number of US job vacancies, due to a lack of talent, will reach 85.2 million by 2030.

This doesn't disprove any of what's been shared earlier in this thread. Because of the layoffs and uncertainty around the future effects of interest rates on the wider economy, many companies have laid off thousands and are being much pickier about their hiring.

So even though there's vacancies, that doesn't mean the experience of seeking a job is as easy as it used to be - just the opposite, in fact. This is what many mean by "the market has shifted".

I don't know if there's studies out there conclusively proving that it's gotten harder to find a job (longer to land an offer, lower salaries on offer on average, # of remote jobs available, # of applicants applying to them etc), but I think we might never find such to begin with because these specific metrics might not be as keenly tracked.
This feels like the perfect level of SQL abstraction. SQL is great in theory, but gets really hard too read once you throw in joins with subqueries.

Show HN: PlainScribe – Transcribe Your Large Files to Perfect Text
Sometimes I wish that when folks opined on such matters they would consider that there is a wealth of philosophical literature covering the same ground that generally has already anticipated your points, contradicted them, strengthened them, provided sharper terminology for discussing them, etc.

In this case, I'm thinking of natural kind terms (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/natural-kinds/) and, less well known, Boyd's homeostatic property cluster theory. It is kind of amazing to me that this article has 310 comments and not a single person has raised the question natural kinds.

OTOH I am heartened that people are effectively doing philosophy in the wild without getting too concerned with "whether other people have already said this before" which can be paralyzing.

No.

Global warming is the effect of decreased solar radiation (as compared to how much solar energy is absorbed), thus more energy added to the Earth. A new ice age in Norther Europe might slightly increase that area's albido, which would increase solar radiation and in theory mitigate global warming. But truth is, the effect of that change in albido will be very small compared to the effect of the atmospheric CO2 (which traps the solar radiation).

Europe may be colder, but somewhere else is going to be much, much hotter.

Presumably the question is being interpreted as "would you buy a Apple VR headset if the standard price was $3.50?", rather than "would you buy a headset for $3.50 that you could immediately resell for 1000x that?".

The answer seems plausible with that interpretation.

Somehow I can understand that the average joe is deep into politics and biased because they want their team to win but in HN, between engineers, that like facts and concepts that are abstract can't we just say that censoring the POTUS was something unseen in any kind of social media platform and that was probably the biggest event that ever happened? whatever we think of the guy, he got trough where he was through the voices of millions of american and just banning those is a danger to freedom and democracy

Intelligence, whether you use it as a fuzzy concept or a narrow one, assumes a goal. It's impossible to say if an actor acts intelligently, without assuming what it's trying to achieve.

It's peak this guy, and peak "rationalists" in general, to defend the concept of "objective" intelligence, intelligence towards unspecified goals. This is what they actually care about: that there's an objective scale of intelligence, and that they're above most people on it. Everything else they believe is tangential. They choose other beliefs according to how they can strengthen the core belief, that they are the intelligent ones. (And you bet they downvote people challenging it).

What goals their intelligence are directed at, they're evasive and inconsistent about, and that others might have different goals is certainly not a permissible option. In THAT area, they are platonists, no matter how fuzzy their forms are: playing the flute is the task of a professional flautist, and steering the ship of humanity is a task for professional captain smart. Where the ship should be heading is not a subject of debate.

Why does it seem like 80 to 90% of hobby OS projects that are announced here as "Unix-like" invariably get someone who replies with "that thing you're doing as a hobby, for fun...you're doing it wrong and I don't approve". Zero content, zero insight posts about someones else's toy aren't useful. You want a 'new model', start coding.

Because there aren't only downsides.

> nicest houses I know are owned by traders who know how to use technical analysis

On the sell side, sure--you know when they'll under or overpay. Anyone buying retail flow should be running these models.

Technical analysis just looks at the surface of the order book--the transaction layer. If you're integrating the book, you can see when the surface is misleading and profit from it. There are technical heuristics, e.g. dead cat bounces, round-number tendencies, et cetera which are based in reality, part flow of funds and part psychological. But technicians' sole reliance on stock charts necessitates blindness to those underlying conditions.

In summary, a stock's near-term price history can, on its own, provide information that predicts the next tick. It's just a known subset of a broader set of signals. That the delineation is known makes those relying on these strategies possible to arbitrage.
If there was actually tradeable alpha in technical analysis it would have been arbitraged away a long time ago.
"Concepts are bundles of useful correlations."

Is "concept" a bundle of useful correlations?

Is "bundle" a bundle of useful correlations?

Is "useful" a bundle of useful correlations?

Is "correlation" a bundle of useful correlations?

And correlations of what? Very strong emphasis on what. Quid est?

From the get go, like all skepticism, this approach begins by sitting on a branch that more or less acknowledges reality and its comprehensibility, but quickly begins sawing off the very branch it is sitting on. Skepticism is always a form of selective denial, and as such, it is incoherent. It's like those people who argue passionately that there is no truth while in the lecture hall, but as soon as the clock strikes 4pm, they're worried about missing the bus and getting everybody in the room to the next lecture, or as Duhem would say, going home to kraut and pipe.

"Triangularity" is not a "bundle of correlations". Triangularity is an irreducible, but analyzable whole, a form that is instantiated in the world within particulars and that we encounter in particulars and abstract from those particulars to arrive at the concept. That's what a concept is: a form abstracted from concrete particulars that exists in the intellect as a universal.

Unfortunately, mechanistic metaphysics, taught and insinuated in our scientistic curricula from a young age, is a difficult intellectual habit to break for many. It is very difficult for people to uproot these obstinate presuppositions.
I might be wrong since I've studied this a long time ago, but from what I remember, in order to do that classically, you need to copy the output bits somewhere else before uncomputing your system and recovering the ancilia.

That's technically fine, as long as you have an infinite supply of stably initialized bits onto which to copy your result. Initializing those bits is going to be non-reversible in some way.
