skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
with the first example on https://www.json.org/example.html and the following Julia code

using JSON3

data = JSON3.read("test.json")

println(data[:glossary][:title])

running `time julia +release --project=. --startup-file=no test.jl` gives a total time spend of 0.39 seconds (running on a dev version of Julia brings it down to 0.30). The translation of this into python is faster (.02 seconds), but this means that as long as your script has at least a second or so of work to do, Julia will be faster.

Specifically, the timing breakdown is 0.07 seconds to launch julia, 0.07 seconds to load JSON3, 0.0001 seconds to parse the file, .07 seconds of compilation for the indexing (I'm pretty sure this is fixable on the package side, see https://github.com/quinnj/JSON3.jl/pull/271), and 0.0001 seconds to do the indexing

Certainly an interesting read. I seem to see a distinction between reality based trauma and fictional. I'm more left leaning and my trauma/fear comes from being a healthcare practitioner during COVID and getting constantly abused, being a cyclist and being constantly harassed and abused, watching climate change have tangible and increasing consequences, watching cars and guns kill cyclist friends and children at increasing rates, etc... All while the rightwing says none of those things are real and pushes completely made up crap constantly. Almost more frustratingly is the media's "both sides" horse race reporting of it all.
Take a very focused topic, IUD insertion pain for example, and read the first hand accounts and the corresponding medical practice.

> Passed out during IUD insertion[1]

> Today I went in to get the Mirena IUD inserted in me, and instead, I passed the fuck out and started having a seizure and had to be taken to the ER.[2]

> I had my copper IUD inserted an hour and a half ago, it was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.[3]

> Passed out from IUD.[4]

Contrast this with studies and the routine practice of IUD insertion[5].

> After an IUD insertion procedure, the researchers compared the pain scores of the participants. The pain scores were significantly lower in the group that received the lidocaine treatment, compared to the group that didn’t.

> In general, doctors don’t routinely offer lidocaine injection because the injection itself can be uncomfortable.

I don't know about you, but there seems to be a discrepancy.

Perhaps the cervix is an outlier, but in my experience, all injections are a bit uncomfortable. Still, we don't require patients to ask for lidocaine before getting stitches, biopsies, or dental work. Local anesthesia before potentially painful procedures is a sensible default.

Note: I'd like to get better sources than Reddit for first-hand accounts of IUD insertion, but sometimes we have to work with the data we have, not the data we want.

Most of the money belongs to the middle class, not the rich. So that is what markets mostly work for.
Executives build the company that the investors want them to build.

By far, the biggest costs of running an airline are the planes and the fuel. But the investors don't want to bet on the value of physical planes, nor do they want to bet on the price of oil. If they wanted to place those bets, they'd just invest in Boeing or Exxon. Instead, they usually want to bet that one airline will perform better than her competitors over the next year or so.

So, airline executives lease their fleets and buy tons of oil futures. This gives them a better shot of hitting their targets even if the price of oil skyrockets, it makes their fleet easier to scale up or down according to demand, and it makes their stock more attractive to investors who want more predictable performance.

Just like any crime, they can charge you with it if they think they should. We live in a time when scant circumstantial evidence , like the fact you randomly traded outside your pattern with exceptional timing , can be enough for a DA to charge you.

In this case though you’d probably have a good defense to those charges. It’s possible they’d interview you and look into it more and see this plainly before bringing those charges. If they did though, even with a good defense, it’s going to be disruptive to your life and finances.

The fact they were speaking about it in public and you have no connection to them makes it plausible for you to think that what you heard was public information. The onus is on them to protect sensitive information like this so they could actually face some problems. It’s very much going to vary by all the people involved with the investigation and what they want to do with it.
That is good to know! Thank you very much. I will look in that direction then.

I’ve been hanging around neuropathy groups and other illness groups since I thought that there is a market for a business here. Not to get rich but maybe create something to help people and have a side income that saves people money.

I have learned that for an EDS patient it takes average of 10 years for a diagnosis. The tests are simple and any physician could do them following simple q&a and straightforward tests. Such a long time before diagnosis results in terrible outcome for the patient. The story of “its in your head” is often repeated here.

It’s not about giving 40 chances. Most doctors refused to listen and have performed tests that were unlikely to yield any results. They disagree with me the patient and if their assumptions were not correct they would often refuse to continue.

We need to centralize the knowledge base. Take what top specialist in their area of expertise know and review what support groups discover to see if we can improve.

For example, in small fiber neuropathy there is a physician Dr. Oaklander, she was so tired of hearing about people not getting the correct treatment she created a list of possible causes and tests.

Not treating autoimmune induced SFN can results in serious complications, while treating it can results in complete remission.

These stories are often repeated among many different communities. These communities found the top specialist in the country and proper tests, but their doctors refuse to work with them.

I really like VictoriaMetrics's architecture

vmagent takes care of all the pesky edge things like emulating prometheus config parsing and various scraping bits. It also does buffering in case you lose network connection for a while, and accept vast spread of different protocols

vminsert/vmselect scale separately from eachother and your queries don't bother your ingest all that much.

vmstorage does just that, storage. Only thing that bothers me (compared to say, Elasticsearch), is that data can't migrate between nodes so you can't "just" start a new one and drain an old one, but a tiny bit ops work in rare cases is IMO price worth paying for straightforwardness of the stack..

PromQL compatibility is also great, tools like Grafana "just work" without anyone having to write support for it.

We started migrating from InfluxDB at work, and on my private stuff I already did. Soo much less memory usage too.
That's probably not going to happen at this rate.

The proposition here is to throw a lot of time and money into a design that might not even work satisfactorily, and might not ever make any money even if it does.

The first is for practical reasons. I'm sure the theory works. But what if the practice is something like a pipe leaking, a liter of highly material spilling on the floor, and it being too contaminated to touch for a year? Yeah, that won't kill anyone, but won't be good business either. There's lots of possibilities for it working perfectly as promised, but just having various issues that make it non-viable anyway.

And I have a very hard time imagining a design that could compete with renewables. Because no matter how you slice it, nuclear has complex requirements that say, solar can just completely ignore. This is especially so when you start talking about not yet production designs, so maybe the first one will be built in 15 years from now.

One of the big problems as I see it is that all notifications on iOS must be proxied via APNS and those can only be sent by the app publisher, so all home servers must send their iOS notifications to Vector (the Element publishers) to be sent to APNS and on to an iPhone or iPad.

This is a centralized point for surveillance of metadata. I also do not know how much information is actually contained in the notification itself. In any case Vector has knowledge of every home server with an iOS client, and their approximate traffic levels.
At release, the police mechanics were the most immersion breaking part for me. They would just appear randomly when you were wanted and disappear if you turned around.

No. Not based on that article at least. Maybe you know more about him. A 3 word quote does not proof make.

The German authorities are doing in their trousers because of the AfD's meteoric rise. They will do anything so that the average voter thinks that utter incompetent clowns like Scholz, Bärbock and Habeck are indeed good political choices. Any and all elements (like 3 word quotes) are going to be used to ban the real opposition.

The sad fact is that a stuffed animal could do better for Germany than the current coalition. The AfD is in the right place at the right time.

I had assumed it was a lot less these days.

One good thing that came out of it was the low power “GPS” on early smart phones, the ones that would triangulate the phones position from what cell towers it could “see”. That would not have been possible without someone driving around “everywhere” and recording GPS location alongside cell signal strength.

As far as i know it is less frequently used today than it was a decade ago, but i could be wrong. GPS in smartphones have moved from technology[1] to something you just use without thinking about how it works.

It's not at all clear to me. I don't know what $mount is for; the $ isn't standard JS or HTML. If it means "stick this thing in that thing over there", that sounds like it will produce spaghetti in any nontrivial example.

The onclick isn't standard Javascript, since onclick generally takes a function rather than a piece of code. Since it takes no arguments, you can't even tell if it's a left-click or a right-click. Writing counter++ over ()=>counter++ is a very minor convenience with a significant expressive cost

And a language nitpick: it's just an "example". A "counter-example" is a thing that disproves an assertion. In this context it implies that you're providing a piece of code that shows that it doesn't work.
Is it really that simple though? Jabber tried to be smart about which device to ring, and sometimes someone ended up with a missed notification. I always felt gutting that complexity and ring all instead would have been the more robust way.

> Japan's approach to sexuality (censor it)

IMO it's cover it, not really censor it.

it's literally sold everywhere and published in countless magazines, I wouldn't call that "censorship".

it's frankly just a style at this point and it's not different from what west does everyday with women bodies, they cover it just enough to profit from it.

When Hokusai painted "the dream of the fisherman's wife" [1], in Europe we still had the Spanish inquisition that covered renaissance nude paintings and statues...

In 1815 they summoned Goya for his "Naked Maja".

These things always fluctuated throughout history

We also know what happened to japan after the occupation by the allies

Not only did Occupation censorship forbid criticism of the United States or other Allied nations, but the mention of censorship itself was forbidden. This means, as Donald Keene observes, that for some producers of texts "the Occupation censorship was even more exasperating than Japanese military censorship had been because it insisted that all traces of censorship be concealed. This meant that articles had to be rewritten in full, rather than merely submitting XXs for the offending phrases".

> kill your individuality, nepotism

There's truth in there, but I also respect the way they always push themselves to improve their craftsmanship and be better than they were yesterday. Of course it's not perfect, it has dark sides and it's mostly incomprehensible to outsiders, just wanting to have a better life, without sacrificing too much. It resonates to me, it probably doesn't for most of the western culture that has become too hedonistic for my taste.

But Miyazaki did not abuse of nepotist and he did not force his son to work as hard as he he did.

Also, too much individualism is bad for society, USA has vastly more deaths at birth than Estonia, but at the same time they want to abolish abortion, on religious grounds, in 2023! They still swear on the bible for fuck sake, I don't think Miyazaki is the reactionary one here.

> I think people unfairly criticize Americans because of their visibility.

They are not more visible, they simply make themselves too visible.

No Japanese ever done something like this in my Country.

Because they are respectful or at least they fake it very well.

Another argument is that only one coal fired plant in the US is cheaper to operate than replacing the rest with renewables, Dry Fork in Wyoming.

> This report finds 99 percent of the existing U.S. coal fleet is more expensive to run compared to replacement by new solar or wind. Replacing coal plants with local wind and solar would also save enough to finance nearly 150 gigawatts of four-hour battery storage, over 60 percent of the coal fleet’s capacity, and generate $589 billion in new investment across the U.S. Our report provides policy recommendations to facilitate a just transition through the Coal Cost Crossover.

(obligatory "base load is a myth", you overbuild renewables in order to make up for firm generation shortfall, you'll see some fossil gas generation uptick until firm renewables and more batteries drive out fossil gas generation, etc)
Could you please explain more about who these counterparties are exactly? Do they include brokerages?

I'm trying to understand why a counterparty would enter into an arrangement where a stock price change obligates them to financial liability like this. Presumably there's some upside if the stock price goes the other way, but it's unclear who the $ would come from in that case.

Also:
Who originates options? When someone buys an option, is it the brokerage who collects the fees? Is the counterparty already involved at that point?
Anyone have any benchmarks?

You’ll note that opinion piece never actually outlines any special immunity from insider trading rules that Congress people have. What it’s really outlining is that the normal rules for insider trading aren’t enough for Congress people. Which is a reasonable position to take, but it’s not what the headline implies.

> Federal documents don't have authenticated addresses.

I wonder why that matters. If I am provably who I say I am, why is the address important?

Also, not specifically for you, but generally what about states that don't reissue IDs when someone moves? (I suppose their answer to that is "get an updated ID and try again".)
I mean, look at what they are spending it on: Apparently not directly on power plants if i follow the article linked.

It indicates to me that we talk about an investment with multiplication possibility:

"The financing is intended to support research, including studies and analysis to deliver accurate data to partnering organizations and officials for better decision-making. It will also fund local policy and advocacy, along with litigation brought against power companies."

Which will lead to even more and faster and better green energy through more investment and more focus and more acceptance and therefore more investment and more research and further cheaper prices for everyone.

I will buy this year a little bit of PV too for the first time.
It's worth noting that the benchmarkgame is including startup time. If you look at the execution time (which is what matters once you start doing more work) the speeds are equal.

> So you do agree extraterrestrial killing are justified if the country says so in advance.

Whether it's ok or not is a different matter. But it is definitely _different_ if you tell the whole world "if we find this person, and you don't hand them over and we have a warrant, we will kill them on your territory or not".

In this case, whoever is harboring the person of interest knows fully what's coming, and isn't going to be surprised by it. Citizens of the country might be unhappy about it, but they will understand that this was coming, and it was a risk and the government decided that they were going to run that risk.

Whereas killing someone of little significance and pretending like nothing. That's the stuff Russia does. So yes it's different, and the reputational impact is different.
