That doesn't solve the problem with bots in games. They are not hammering the API, they are automating things that shouldn't be automated and drives away non-bot players.
Do people really use the phrase “over confident” in this way? It is very misleading.

What is happening is called “over fitting”.

Think of data as dots. A model that generalizes well will create as simple of a function as possible that fits the training data points pretty well.

But keep training and parameters will often get very large, creating huge up and down swings in the function curve, far outside the actual data values, in order to pass through the training data points exactly.

So it’s technically a better fit to the training data, but it is now a crazy function, often producing extreme outputs on new data. Practically a worst case lack of generalization.

Thus, “over fitting”.

And “over fitting” isn’t the same as “memorization”. Large models can memorize small datasets without over fitting. They have so many parameters, it takes few changes to fit the training data. At which time, learning stops at an otherwise random function, and generalization is never achieved.

That case is called “underdetermined”.

There are models that produce both outputs and confidences (essentially predict their own error standard deviation per output, based on the input).

So “over confident” can mean a model that predicted high confidence (low error deviation) inaccurately.
No, they go public because they need more funding. They need more funding because they're not profitable. The reason 100% is because they didn't build a profitable business out of open source, so they have to change it to try to build something sustainable once opportunities for funding run out.
Banking

Germany’s two biggest listed banks — Deutsche Bank AG and Commerzbank AG — have been mired in controversy for years, and while they’re on the mend, they’re still undersized compared to Wall Street peers. Their combined market capitalization is less than a tenth of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s.

Digital Technology

In technology, Germany’s biggest player is SAP SE, which dates from the 1970s and makes complex software that helps companies manage their operations. Germany’s lack of investment is particularly acute in digital technology. Despite infrastructure that had it ranked 51st in the world for fixed-line Internet speeds, it had the fourth-lowest spending among OECD countries relative to the economy’s size.

Aging Population

Fragmentation risks intensifying as the population ages, pitting comfortable pensioners against young people worried about their futures. The tensions have sparked disruptive protests, and authorities this week searched 15 properties across Germany in connection with an investigation against a group of climate activists.

Germany’s industrial base is already feeling the pinch of its demographic shift. Recent surveys have found 50% of firms cut output due to staffing problems, costing the economy as much as $85 billion per year.

In a recent report, the OECD put the scale of the challenges in stark terms: “No major industrialized economy has ever had the very basis of its competitiveness and resilience so systematically challenged by changing social, environmental and regulatory pressures.”
> Surely people who disable javascript are used to the majority of the web being broken for them.

Not really. I'd say >80% of sites I visit are accessible, in that I can read the content of the page I want to look at, with javascript disabled.

Of the remainder, I can temporarily switch javascript back on for a tab with two clicks, if I want to read the contents enough, and I think the odds of that site having especially malicious javascript on it is slim. (e.g. mastodon instances)

I can also create permanent exceptions for websites in a couple of clicks too, and there are some frequently-visited sites that I have done that for.

Don't think of those who disable javascript as browsing with no javascript. Think of it as browsing with javascript disabled by default.

As someone who sells a low-volume niche product (as a sideline), the problem isn’t that 3D printing costs grow per-unit, but rather that they don’t meet people’s intuition of what plastic things should cost.

A box that might cost $0.25 if injection molded might be $25 if 3D printed.

> These aren't people thinking they can wait until the next election to see what happens, and perhaps they can decide to succeed then. These are people convinced that if they stay with the Union any longer then their entire way of life will be destroyed. That's why seven states succeed before Lincoln was inaugurated.

Yes, thank you, that's exactly what I sad. Southern politicians believed that they'll never be in a stronger position than they were at that point and if they were going to do something they have to do it now.

> The fact is, many of the states which succeeded did do because they want to keep slavery, as they very clearly justified at the time.

Absolutely. Never claimed the opposite. My only point that they rebelled because they believed that the Republicans will weaken and restrict the institution of slavery over time which would result in eventual abolition.

> If you conjecture it was merely "politically advantageous" and they didn't actually believe it, then you aren't taking this seriously and presenting solid evidence to support your conjecture.

I'm sorry but you arguments seem to lack nuance to an almost extreme degree. There is a lot space between "maintaining the status quo" and "imminent (over the next 4 years) abolition". Of course they believed that the new Republican administration and shifting popular opinions in the north (from maintaining the status quo to limiting the expansion of slavery into new territories) were a huge threat to slavery.

> How do you get from those statements to "none of these seem to imply that their authors believed that abolition was imminent (in the next 4 years or so)"?

I'm seriously puzzled how do we get the complete opposite by reading the same words? None of those quotes imply that they believed that abolition was imminent or might happen in the near future.

My entire point was and still is this:

while their desire to maintain slavery was obviously the main reason of the rebellion nobody viewed abolition as an imminent threat or that it might occur over the next 4 years (that was politically inconceivable both in the south and the north). The southern states seceded because their politicians assumed that the new administration will do everything it can to weaken the institution of slavery and limit its expansion which would've led to its eventual demise (at and indeterminate point in the future).

Could you clarify which part exactly do you disagree with?
HDDs that support NVMe are the minority and even then, PCIe riser cables are more expensive than SATA cables so you are wasting money on capabilities that a NAS doesn't even need. Even if you think an SSD based NAS is a good idea, you still need to backup that NAS onto HDDs at which point you run into the same problem. How do you plug them in without SATA?

Oh and by the way I bought SATA SSDs in 2018. SATA 6Gbps is quite an impressive standard given that it runs at such a high frequency and yet supports long cables unlike PCIe.

Anyone from EU please feel free to counter these arguments.
"An FPRSA sub-system has existed in NATS for many years and in 2018 the previous FPRSA subsystem was replaced with new hardware and software manufactured by Frequentis AG, one of the leading global ATC System providers."

"At this point with both the primary and backup FPRSA-R sub-systems having failed safely the FPRSA-R was no longer able to automatically process flight plans. It required restoration to normal service through manual intervention."

How can a primary AND it's backup system fail safely??? Who specified this?

"The actions already undertaken or in progress are as follows: 3) A permanent software change by the manufacturer within the FPRSA-R sub-system which will prevent the critical exception from recurring for any flight plan that triggers the conditions that led to the incident."

Means: now they catch the (Java) exception. Great.
That's your personal bias showing, I'd never be questioning anyone who decided they found a good role where they feel competent and secure about their job and craft, much the contrary as Peter's Principle usually apply very quickly to the careerists.

Senior engineer is usually where a lot of competent folks stop, the role of Staff/Principal starts to become quite different, some people just want to be good at helping the business to build things. A good senior will be the necessary glue between team and the larger org (including the Staff/Principal layer), facilitating a lot of stuff that isn't immediately visible but is definitely felt when you miss it.

On top of that, there's not even close to enough positions to promote every single senior engineer to a higher level in most companies. Not everyone wants to play the career game.
Yea, people complain, but the systems get funded right and left and huge funds pour so much money into these systems every year… it’s disturbing. Meanwhile nobody really talks about it except in general terms.

They are the enemy of free people. They should be resisted and outlawed by those who love freedom and democracy.

Just imagine the data generated from pointing something like this at voting booths and you can see the issue.
Yeah. For me, the main feature that has me use chrome instead is that it can remember my credit card details. I don't understand how it can be that firefox doesn't do this, it's so annoying.
Just an advice: Be careful with Postman. It seems they upload all your secrets to their servers. We stopped to use it a time ago. I don't know if they changed in this regard.
It would be nice, but unfortunately it doesn't align with their goals - they want you to use github features, not git.
What about botting in games? It's something that almost everyone is against so it's clear that the general opinion is not aligned with the W3C TAG Ethical Web Principle there.

I've seen many games die due to bots. If developers just straight-up allow them all the normal players quit.
Im sorry but if you are using Chrome as a “pro” nowadays, its your own fault. There are countless alternatives available, starting from Firefox, to Brave, to some exotic browsers, and if you must use Chrome, then there is a de-Googled one called Chromium.

Its clear that Google is milking every single one of its users using their browser, since they have access to your computers.

Probably this is the “vector” they use to gather the most info about users, apart from Android maybe.
My 2 cents, having been in the space for a while and then pivoting out of it. All devops first engineers thinking this is a problem, building something that is more like PaaS but then soon you will realise now not only you have convince engineering managers but also engineers. The total addressable market is fairly small for this type of product, you can throw in compliance guard rails but when an org becomes big they will leave your platform. If you find a customer, you should charge 100 or more as your long value is fairly small. Do checkout the list of PaaS here [1]

Thank you for doing this. I think you should go even further than mandating security updates. Companies should have to provide schematics, source code, everything we need to maintain the devices ourselves, especially if they have reached end of life. The corporations don't even need to incur the costs of maintaining the stuff if they don't want to. They just need to stop getting in our way.

Ask HN: Examples of Practical Applications of Datalog
My understanding is that Datalog dialects are basically query-languages. It's just that the data is being stored in a different way, compared to traditional RDBMs.

But I am struggling to find any practical examples when Datalog really shines.

I feel like Datalog could be a useful tool if I only could recognise problems it is especially well suited for.
When I proposed I got a ring with natural diamond. But being aware of all the shenanigans around diamonds I decided to get imperfect diamond. Especially because of the artificial diamonds - I assumed they would strive for perfect diamonds and therefore would make my imperfect one more unique later. Salt & pepper one. It looks like somebody has trapped a galaxy inside it. It's beautiful and it didn't cost much (compared to pure diamonds).

If you're on an arch-based distro, when following https://github.com/bintracker/bintracker/blob/master/docs/se...

My experience is with select German and Czech banks and/ or "Sparkasse" which is a kind of savings bank used very often by private citizens. These tend to have better mortgage options in some cases but are quickly inconvenient if you have an unusual (digital/ SaaS) business or any kind of special requirements, like if you want to transfer larger sums of money into other countries with a decent exchange rate.

> "don't ever run the front-end and the second factor on the same device"

This is required in some cases, probably unless you apply for the physical hardware token generator which costs extra. You must apply for the 2FA-app initialization through the banking app that you are supposed to run on the same phone. In both cases, it is basically impossible to have a backup. Also, the banking app and the banking key app are supposed to have a separate PIN/ short password or a biometric login. Of course, the biometric approach has all kinds of problems in legal challenges (e.g. something you know is protected differently to something you are). Also, something you know cannot be easily obtained while you are asleep. Also, you probably don't want to use your password manager on your mobile phone - so there you are, typing a generated password to log into the key/ 2FA app for security theater. If there wasn't the banking app right next to the key app, the bank could probably just use something like FreeOTP+ or Google Authenticator without reinventing the wheel, also enabling backups in the process and skipping sending physical mail with the initial setup tokens. But that would be too straight forward and not "enterprise" security or whatever.
The situation in Czechia is more or less similar. The banks tend to belong to the same banking groups so the underlying infrastructure might be similar even though Czechia still does not have the Euro/ SEPA.
The main criteria for becoming a business owner is access to capital not ability and by there are more small businesses then large concerns. Furthermore actually smart people aren't generally blinkered intelligence is by definition generalizable.

> from their perspective, google is leading the charge on less invasive Display ad tech

That would require levels of cognitive dissonance rarely seen outside fraudulent politicians. But that's phrasing it sarcastically, something best avoided in conversations. Bluntly put: indeed, I don't believe you. You cannot work for Google/Alphabet, where 80% of revenue ($183 billion in 2020!) comes from ads, and believe you're doing privacy a favor.
rclone cannot write to the middle of a file though, without transferring the whole file. That is my main issue with it. Maybe sshfs has the same limitation though.
If you're interested in utilizing your history information for something in your intentional interests, consider saving an archive of pages you browse to make a search engine you can query back through later.

You can save the full content for indexing with full text search, and you can even export archives as tarballs by zipping up the directory. Many people find this a useful way to "mine" their own browser history to create a curated search engine aligned with your interests. Or simply to save the pages they browse for review offline--either to save bandwidth, or just because they're actually "offline"--at a remote site, or on an airplane.

Everything is saved in a fully interactive way. Personally tho, I find search the most useful feature. Also, we're open source so if you want to get involved, please do so!

Interesting. Is hardware acceleration enabled?
I agree that it is prima facie a good idea but--just like throwing water onto a grease-fire--our first instincts are not always the best. :P

One big problem is that a good implementation/grading of "civics" test is so subjective that it could easily become a political-weapon to disenfranchise voters depending on who writes or grades the tests. Heck, you can already see it starting: The reason those politicians want to give free-pass to anyone over 25 is because their voting-base skews older, and they want any disenfranchisement to fall more-heavily against the other party.

Similarly, "literacy tests" were horribly abused within US history, despite in theory being something that should be much easier to make a fair test for.

I completely agree with this. I love the platform, the mentors, and the enthusiasm for languages. They’ve done a great series every month this year on a new set of languages, and have great YouTube interviews.

However, the problems they offer do not help you learn the syntax or quirks of specific languages and for me are only a place to practice leetcode/codewars style logic. Also important! But not what I need when I first begin a language.

One related thing I haven't learned from a glance at the pitch and GH:

Does the desktop app make direct HTTP requests to target resources? Or are they similarly to web-app proxied through recipeui.com?

Plus, is there a way for the web-app to bypass that proxy, when the target resource allows that in CORS (naturally)(or when there is some browser extension that does it on dev's side)?
Up voting this isn't enough. London can pay well, better than everywhere in Europe even, at the right company and with good negociating power. If a UK firm contact you, you're set and have us-level salaries (upward 200k 8 years ago in medtech). If you're just going back to europe for a routine job however, you should first check Switzerland (then Netherlands. They also have the most interesting jobs if you're a low-level guy)
Classic “every job is equivalent to my office job” kind of analysis. “I couldn’t possibly fathom the idea that if a job had a very comfortable wage it still wouldn’t be worth doing because my frame of reference is moving between various offices for meetings and occasionally checking my emails.”

When I worked inpatient psychiatry we were very underpaid and constantly understaffed. Later in my career when I was involved in the admin side of things we did increase pay a bit which helped but we had a kind of cynical joke that even if we could pay 6 figures to the entry level direct care staff we’d still have staffing issues. At the end of the day it’s a job where you have constant exposure to bodily fluids, loud noise, and sudden violence. It was often chaotic; staff quitting on day 1 was so common that we eventually made it policy to do a facility walkthrough during interviews so that people were well aware of what job entailed so we’d waste less money on training. Even then it still happened with some regularity.
