skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
So the big issue is can be summed up as one present across many domains of ML, but particularly challenging in remote sensing. ML has seen rapid advances in spaces where foundational models capture the variance of a domain the latent space of a model. By training on very large dataset, the variance becomes encoded in that latent space; lots of training data implies that the latent space contains meaningful variation. This is what powers things like stable diffusion. A model trained on a very large dataset was connected with another dataset, in latent space. The image model wasn't starting from square 0. It had meaningful variation encoded into it.

Enter remotely sensed dataset. They are monumental in scale. So much so that the 804 chips they submitted here is pretty much laughable. Likewise, some parameters of the data have inherent meaning; the pixel dimensions correspond to real world measurements; the bands are specific spectral windows.

Its similar but far more than just working with RGB cell phone camera data.

Good thing they appreciate my loyalty! I appreciate how much of an asshole the person behind this decision is.
The vast majority of startups will fail, but this isn't super-constructive feedback- you're essentially saying "I think this sucks"
I'm sure you can, but AFAIK neither uses compression in that benchmark so it's a fair comparison. Even if filesystem compression would reduce that to 17.5G (doubtable), it won't be free in terms of CPU cycles, and no matter what it's still ~120G to load in memory, bytes to scan/update, etc.
Congrats on the 1.0 milestone!

Why would you need a separate GPU when you have integrated 60-core GPU with access to up to 198gb of memory? Like what you'd need a render farm? Apple Metal is already a target for all the important tools.
Absolutely! It just happens to be a good fit for me :)

I use very little bandwidth and processing with the vast majority of my projects. In the even that I do need heavy lifting for a couple hours, it still tends to be a pretty minimal cost.

Now for sustained heavy loads/bandwidth… I definitely would look elsewhere for hobby projects.

Edit: and I agree with your point about attacks. I have pretty aggressive monitoring set up around billing.
Maybe you should say something about welcoming immortal mouse overlords? Just a thought.
I ran into a SaaS company recently that had a guide for how to setup a white-label domain using route 53 and Cloudfront for one of their services. The SaaS company charges for service bandwidth usage, and they host their infrastructure on AWS, so if you opt to follow their guide they get a fat margin bump in the form of avoiding an egress charge and you get to be double-charged for bandwidth. You've gotta love it.
Americans are going abroad in droves at the expense of domestic travel
I've been learning emacs calc (my HP-48g calculator finally died) and it seems to have this built-in. It's super impressive.
I'm shocked this isn't a feature of a VPC out of the box (shared internet bound traffic). You should only need a NAT gateway if you want the traffic to come out of a single set of external IPs that you control.

Almost all of my use cases I could easily ride out to the internet through a shared pipe (apt updates and such) and don't care whatsoever what IP that exits the AWS network from, since I'm not applying firewall rules or anything.
Tesla display that but also displays highly accurate estimates of any trip you plan. To me the real party at fault with EV range in the USA is the EPA, which combines city and highway range in a single number, which inflates the highway number. Every EV that is sold advertises this inflated EPA number. Nobody cares about city range, just publish highway range, or both, like we do with gas cars.
Its the largest *published* geospatial model. There are plenty of models being developed daily with more than 100m parameters.

I think its just that there is a dearth of publishing on the advances in geospatial ml.

Yes, and Google rightly gets criticized for it. Microsoft is getting the same treatment for being equally shitty.
Bing visual search is great. I use it in cryptic hunts a bunch. Would of course prefer a non-MS offering though, I hope one comes along that's equally good.

Take a look for yourself. EPA range vs a "real world" test is all over the place depending on vendor, and even depending on the car. Rivian, Kia, Nissan all have ranges that are under by similar percentages as Tesla. Only Porsche seems to heavily sandbag here.
That's why my license plate is shaped like 3 different light bulbs, and is hidden in a grid of light bulb shaped objects.
No, the indicated range is no maximum range under ideal conditions! Its just a mix of city and highway driving, which is better than pure highway driving.

If you did ONLY low speed city driving you would do even better!
While this is unpopular to say, I think the advanced age of marriage and promiscuity earlier in life plays a role here.

My parents were together from 19, and knowing their style, they may both have been each other's first. As a teenager, I noticed my mother being extremely difficult. Even more so now. My father is no walk in the park either. But I believe they have a deep rooted love from decades and went through every event and basically adult stage in life together.

I'm 38. I date in my age group. Which means both of us are dating people that have been sleeping with others for two decades. Each of us has been overseas with countless friends and exs. Many women have been engaged, some married, and we've all had our hearts broken. We've all gained a few lbs. My hair is starting to grey.

Can I find someone that enjoys being with me? Sure.

Can I find someone that doesn't just say "wtf am I doing here" if times get tough for health or financial or just plain old age? I'm not sure.

I've heard many long time married old men say that when they look at their partner, they still see the beauty glimmering through that they saw at 19.

If I meet a partner at 40, when we start really getting old and annoyed, what am I going to hold on to? How lucky I am to be her 23rd partner?

I know this is a judgemental view, but I think it's human nature.

Edit: for those that think this is just some personal issue, you should look up divorce stats by number of previous sexual partners. There is a clear rise in divorce rate per increase in partners, and at about 7 it's 50%+.
University PR offices are the worst. They make PT Barnum look like a modest, understated clergyman in comparison.
Nice, I'm looking for something I can learn a second language with and also teach my son English. In both our cases, I found this bot to be too fluent for the level we're at. It would be great if the bot spoke simpler shorter language, perhaps even limited vocabulary. I tried to guide it through speaking but couldn't get it simple enough.
> Would anyone accept this? Likely no.

I wouldn't be so sure, it's all about the price. There's plenty of people that don't have a need for the backseats, and at a certain discount on the purchase price it becomes worth it to have two unusable seats in the back of the car. Think about the extreme case, in which the car is free: there are certainly people that would take that deal.
I loved this in Borderlands streams. I wish all games that expect a twitch audience did it (looking at you Diablo4).
> Hacking otherwise reasonable software-locked features feels like theft to me.

I disagree, pretty strongly. There is a line. They sold you something in its entirety, including the seats with wires.

I would agree with you if you had to download the control software from their servers.

I would agree with you if you if the upgrade provided you physical wires to install, even if you had to install them.

Related I think it would be fine to purchase the control software and/or heating wires from a third party that was not tesla and install it in your tesla car.

Résumé/CV:

I have 17 years of software engineering related to machine/deep learning, data science, signal processing, data viz, optimization problems, numerical simulation, big data, and industrial robotics.

I've been doing freelance/consulting recently, I'm up for new challenges as well as open to new full time work.

My last full time position was in a industrial automation robotics startup in oil and gas (bought by a large player in the energy sector) where I led motion planning and various types of predictive analytics efforts.

Before that, I worked in a DoD affiliated research center on advanced classifiers and object tracking algorithms as well as various big data problems (mostly graph analytics).

I'm open to a variety of ML Eng, MLOps, SWE, strategy, and various types of leadership roles.

If you have a interesting project, let's talk!
Russia fines Apple for not deleting 'inaccurate' content on Ukraine conflict
I don't think there's any need to be "torn" on that; you can certainly hold different opinions for different nuances without conflict.

Hardware features that are actually present in the product when purchased should be available for use. If manufacturers want to put those features behind a software lockout, I guess that's their prerogative, but they shouldn't be allowed to complain or punish the customer if they find a way to circumvent it.

Charging for ongoing services that require the manufacturer to spend money to maintain infrastructure (like a remote engine start or remote lock/unlock) seems entirely fair, though.

But as a big fat asterisk to that last statement, it pisses me off that I can't run my own server infra for that myself. I bought a Mercedes E-class a little over a year ago, and it included a free year of their online services. Fortunately continuing the subscription is pretty cheap (something like $150/year). But it's an all-or-nothing deal. I want to be able to do remote lock/unlock and engine start, but I don't want Mercedes tracking my location wherever I go, and I don't care about map updates (since I use Google Maps via Android Auto for navigation).

I would much rather be able to spin up my own server to handle some of the remote capabilities, and not have the car talk to Mercedes' infra at all (except perhaps for software updates, which I would manually approve/accept).

I get why car makers won't do this. Even if they didn't want a stranglehold over providing services, I'm sure they still wouldn't do it: it would require extra "advanced" settings in the car and in the app to allow the customer to set an alternate server backend. And customers will inevitably make security mistakes with their own server backend, which could create liability for the carmaker, or at least cause bad press, even if it shouldn't.
I've been actively trying to find ways to offload tasks to software assistants -- I've slowly been getting a bit more comfortable using siri.

My first impression is that the results tracking will just be a report of failures and wind up causing disinterest in the application as a whole.

I also am concerned that the AI may wind up placing demands on me that I may think I want in one moment, but don't wind up engaging with...leaving a bunch of stuff piling up.

The example of the presentation just sort of leaves it at "About the presentation ...", at which point it seems like the user is expected to ...tell the ai about the presentation. So I haven't really been shown how it solves any problem that I have.

Also remember that AIs are biased on the training set and you're targeting a minority of a population. It's probably not going to know "how" to speak to me, what tones actually work, etc.

I hope that all amounts to useful feedback -- I do really want an effective product to offload stuff to -- but if it's not effective, it has negative value in my life.
> UBI is just a way for techbros to help quell the eventual calls for their heads.

> I don't have a good solution to the problem that UBI solves though

These sentences are at odds, you admit that UBI solves a problem, but since it doesn't end classism altogether is's not worthwhile?
What was wrong with my comment, specifically?

As noted in my other comment, you are misusing words, and this one that you "can't understand" I note you are hiding behind vague memes.

Please do not make things up and get upset at others for it.
Probably cheaper to use batteries at this point.

Like what's the cost per mile to install overhead wires? Comments in an online magazine says $1M/mile[1]. You can buy 5-10,000 kwh worth of batteries for a million bucks.

That strikes me as a pretty dissonant argument on HN. If we play that out, no software creator would have a defensible way to monetize what they invested time, energy and money to create. Enforceable laws protecting IP are the difference between entire sectors of the economy existing vs. not being worth the effort.

UTF-16 surrogates are code-points, but UTF-8 prohibits encoding them. However unicode strings are sequences of unicode scalar values and can't contain surrogates, so you can encode every unicode string in UTF-8.

(There is the WTF-8 encoding, which allows unpaired surrogates under certain circumstances. This can be useful for losslessly storing wide-strings (unvalidated UTF-16) in a UTF-8 like encoding, which are used by Windows, C#, Java and Javascript)

It merely slows progress of Alzheimer i.e. stops progress of brain inflammation.

Strange that they call it a vaccine.

Nomenclature aside, it's even better to not develop the inflammation in the first place.

And it can be done with a simple (but difficult) change: stop eating insane amounts of sugar and carbs that most people eat in standard American / western diet.

This prevents diabetes (because diabetes is "too much glucose in your blood" disease and not eating sugar (glucose) and carbs (are converted to glucose by our body).

Elevated levels of glucose trigger elevated levels of insulin. If it persists for long periods of time, it causes inflammation in our body, including brain.

This inflammation caused by diabetes is believed to be main cause of Alzheimer. Some scientists even call Alzheimer a Type 3 diabetes.

As to "insane amounts of sugar": you probably consume insane amount of sugar without knowing your doing it.

The optimal amount of glucose in our blood in 3 grams, which is 6 grams of sugar.

A daily recommended dose of sugar is 25 grams for women and 36 for men.

A single can of coca-cola is 33 grams of sugar. That's more than a daily sugar budget for a woman and almost daily budget for a man.

An average consumption by an American is 76.7 grams i.e. 2x daily recommended dose.

To render pages on a throwaway computer and send only bitmaps, connect to the throwaway computer via VNC and run an ordinary browser.

As for improving on tab isolation over what existing browser sandboxes already offer, lightweight virtualization a la Firecracker seems like a more useful increment than containerization, and, assuming each tab has a similar VNC-like connection to its browser VM, virtualization would also make the whole "throwaway computer" setup less necessary to provide a meaningful security improvement.

Customers are not responsible for the company's business model.

I'm fine paying for software. And I'm fine with a subscription model if I actually get new things periodically during my subscription.

Put another way, if you sell me a static, unchanging piece of software (like a software update to enable heated seats), then that should be a one-time charge. If you sell me a self-driving package that gets regular updates over time, then I'm fine with a subscription.

(Self-driving software is a bit of a grey area, though. I should probably have to pay for new features, like "now it can drive on some more roads where it would previously disengage and require a human to handle it". But I should not have to pay for an update that fixes safety issues with existing functionality.)

You're describing market makers, not all HFT participants.
The letters are in specific spots inside the case. Because the case layout is a standard, someone very skilled with the standard could read the word being typeset because they could see which spots were being pulled from for different words... since the spot in the case is the letter... you can know the letters of the word.
This might assume that the letters were being pulled in order (or reasonably ordered).
While hydrogen EMUs were first used in germany in planned service (with battery EMUs coming into service later this year), it seems that BEMUs might be more mature right now. The only HEMU being used right now is the iLint, and it has been in development for many years while the first "real" deployment is plagued with issues (to be fair, not all of them stemming from the iLint itself). Meanwhile it seems that BEMUs are being offered by nearly every company, with trains from three different manufacturers starting service in the next 12 months.

Hydrogen will probably see some use in railways, but more for freight and long-distance applications, mostly outside of Germany. I wouldn't be surprised if a large part of freight and long distance service in the US ran with hydrogen, with commuter trains mostly using batteries and conventional overhead electrification.

As I mentioned elsewhere, there's more to vector database selection than raw performance: Developers leveraging their existing experience with Postgres, existing infrastructure investment (often in managed Postgres on AWS/GCP etc), and a single API into the vector store shared with other parts of their app (their ORM / DB layer).

Many teams can also get away with good performance vs the fastest performance, given smaller index sizes and the other tradeoffs I mentioned.

That said, I can imagine the pgvector folks precaching the new HNSW index support they're working on, as they do with their IVFFLAT index.
