I am a data scientist with 3 years of experience in consulting. I am an excellent communicator and very much a people-person, and thrive in building rapport with stakeholders and explaining those technical concepts to non technical audiences. I also have over 8 years of non-commercial management and leadership experience.

I am largely looking for remote work, though I'm open to working in office in London or even relocating if required. My ideal role would be people-focused, through either managing people or managing projects, though I am of course open to more traditional data science / analyst roles too.

Did you consider... a circus? Or is it the Bay Area corporate culture you're after? In any case, good luck.
That only applies to RLHF'd mealymouthed corporate AI.
Unfiltered AI can be as antisocial or manipulative as the worst corners on the internet. Has early Sydney telling people to kill themselves and gaslighting them about the correctness of whatever has been said already been forgotten?
I think in this case anyone would be wise to fire a modern reproduction rather than the original article. After all anyone with the money to collect that sort of artifact can certainly afford a replica to play with.

Meteor wrapped the MongoDB API for this purpose. You are working with collections and can run the same queries over them, regardless of whether you are connected to a DB instance or the browser's local storage.

For CouchDB an equivalent exists in the form of PouchDB: https://pouchdb.com/
The Bible describes slavery and has rules around how to treat slaves. But Christians cannot keep slaves based on beliefs derived from ancient texts.

The Constitution forbids the government establishing or promoting a specific religion, and civil rights laws protect people from discrimination based on their faith. But those laws don’t allow religious people or organizations to operate outside the law.

Americans can believe whatever they want and worship in their own way. They cannot mistreat other people because their religious tradition tells them to.

I agree, Kodi requires constant maintenance and tweaking. Jellyfin seems better overall(?) But I'm really frustrated with this transcoding issue. Or the fact it's incapable of DTS 5.1 passthrough on GCCWGTV (even their site https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/codec-support/ says Jellyfin has been tested with DTS mono only, not DTS 5.1).

There are rules for that, Unicode has standards (not only formal, but easily usable in most software libraries) for canonical forms that will collapse all the variations to a single representation.

But, of course, unicode can't define that the standard will cover only the canonical forms, and couldn't do that since the start, as it needed backwards compatibility with various pre-unicode encodings which had mutually incompatible principles, so it needed support for both composed and decomposed versions of the same characters.
There is a nice single-function utility called MacWhisper that I’ve been using for this flow, maybe worth a shot if you haven’t come across it yet.
> EVs rip through tires lol

Yes, they do. Even our lowly Fiat 500e's consumed tires much faster than any of our ICE cars.

It's not just raw power, which a Fiat 500e doesn't have much.

It's the fact that with an electric motor you have 100% torque at 0rpm starting from a standstill, which is when there is most opportunity to briefly spin the tire. Tire wear is much reduced when driving in a straight line at a constant speed.
This comment is very much an extension of the “I could build this in a weekend” mindset.
The thing with normalization is that it's not free, and especially for embedded use cases people seem quite opposed to this. IIRC it requires about ~100K of binary size, ~20K of memory, and some non-zero number of CPU cycles. This is negligible for your desktop computer, but for embedded use cases this matters (or so I've been told).

This comes up in specifications that have a broad range of use cases; when I was involved in this my idea was to just spec things so that there's only one allowed form; you'll still need a small-ish table for this, but that's fine. But that's currently hard because for a few newer Latin-adjacent alphabets some letters cannot be represented without a combining character.

So then you have either the "accept that two things which seem visually similar are not identical" (meh) or "exclude embedded use cases" (meh).

I never really found a good way to unify these use cases. I've seen this come up a few times in various contexts over the years.

> Posted to HN several times has been the well documented proposal process from start to finish (it succeeded) of getting common and somewhat less common power symbols encoded in Unicode.

Would this work for an entirely new symbol I invent today? It's not really the Unicode people that are "difficult" here as such, they just ask for demonstrated usage, which is entirely reasonable, and that's hard to get (or: harder than it was before computers) especially for casual usage. I'm sure that if some country adopts/invents a new script today, as seems to be happening in West-Africa at in recent years, the Unicode people are more than amendable to work with that, but "I just like ‽" is a rather different type of thing.
But if the work can be done fully remote, why does the person need a visum to be in the US? Why not work remote from abroad without visa requirements and probably with lower cost of living?
i hope a new format, be it N5 or OME-zarr, achieves critical mass. but i'm not holding my breath. NIfTI never really caught on, despite having a very nice spec.

unless scope manufacturers unite behind a format, biologists are going to keep writing bespoke analysis pipelines for the formats their images come in. it's going to take some top down regulation from the NSF/NIH requiring that all scopes support the open format of choice by a certain date to be eligible for purchase with grant money.
I loathe the cost-cutting keyboard manufacturers have turned to over the recent years.

I cannot get a good danish keyboard anymore without the ÆØÅ keys having the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish/Suomi keys printed on them as well, often in different colors.

My decade+ old "Logitech Illuminated" keyboard has been the best keyboard I've ever had but recently it's been acting up for me. It occasionally adds diacritics to random letters. Tried cleaning it with no luck. It was a danish-only version, laptop-like flat keys but with more "travel-distance" so it feels like the best of both worlds. Also had a nice flat palm-rest.

Unfortunately I can't get this keyboard or find something that has a similar form factor anymore anywhere - and if I can find some version of it, it has the the terrible multi-country-cost-cutting-keys on it. I suppose that if I find a replacement keyboard that I can move the old keys over to the new one (if they are even the same after all these years)

Nobody has been building artificial general intelligence which is then reclassified as not AI.

People in the 1940’s don’t call radar controlled fire control computers AI because the term meant something else back then. Instead the initial idea of AI got so expanded that almost anything newer than roughly the 1970’s got called AI at some point.

Arguably it isn’t even that the meaning changed. It’s just buzzwords for grant applications the same way most basic robotics research gets suggested as beneficial for search and rescue.

From the Fortune 100, which of these companies do you think will exist in 2100?

#1 Walmart
#2 Amazon
#4 Apple
#8 Alphabet
#13 Microsoft
#31 Meta
#48 Disney
#52 GE
#65 IBM
#100 Coca-cola

All of these companies, except Meta, existed 20 years ago. Several of them existed 100 years ago. They all have enough assets and infrastructure to weather one at least if not two generations of poor leadership (and many already have). It's reasonable to say that Facebook the product won't be around in 100 years, but Meta the company? They may be #65 on the list, limping along, but they'll be there.
Indeed, it’s not out of reach and compute density is higher than the Mac Pro with Minis (even the core i9). M1 / M2 is vastly higher.
There are luxury watches which can easily eclipse $17k.

But they basically serve as jewelry.

The problem with the Apple Watch is it tried to be that, but it has absolutely no premium value at all.

Which is unsurprising considering you can get the same brand, same look, etc with a little less gold for 1/200th the price.

Also, it doesn’t help that there is no handcrafted precision work involved with the Apple Watch. It flowed out of the same Chinese assembly line the other $200 Apple Watches did.

A running joke in law school was “lawyers are bad at math, so who cares if I am innumerate?” which, in light of your translation is pretty alarming.
Sure, and that licensed work was created by people. Those people should get paid upon the creation of new derivative work. That’s exactly what copyright law is.
Apple have a habit of turning features on after a new OS installation, both on iOS and macOS.
"old but not that old" is essentially saying it's not an antique.
My enclosure claims to be Thunderbolt 3 compatible, but I actually don’t know if it is operating as USB-3 or thunderbolt when I boot Linux from it. In general, it is usually fine. Although, I’ve got an OK amount of ram, so sometimes I’ll use a RAM disk if I think it is a problem.

Actually, it is kind of funny, I’ve got an NVME drive inside the actual computer. When I want to do something that requires fast drive speeds, I make a RAM drive. When I want more memory, I swap on the internal NVME drive.

Hypothetically could I end up writing to a file on the RAM disk, and then get it swapped to the internal drive? Mayyybe. I’m not sure if Linux will just call that too silly.
> The image of the chief executive of a leading tech rival — Microsoft is one of the world’s biggest public companies, valued at $2.4 trillion — saying it could not easily fight Google was striking.

Why is that striking? It's just a repeat of the playbook Microsoft used to great effect in the Activision trial. "Oh, woe is us, we've lost the console wars, we're in distant 3rd place and can't compete". They have absolutely no problem being mock-humiliated due to a supposed failure to compete if it gets them the result they need in court. (Which is the smart play, of course.)

> But in court, Mr. Nadella said that argument was “bogus” because users generally don’t change their default search engine, even if they have the ability to do so.

Oh, huh. Isn't Bing the default search engine for the default browser on Windows? I guess all those Windows users are searching on Bing then.

Though I do wonder why Microsoft gets into the news on a regular cadence about yet again having reset the defaults with a Windows update. Seems like something that they wouldn't need to bother with if nobody changes the defaults.
That is a bit much. I believe a factor like 1.2x to 1.5x, depending on the country, is more realistic.
I assume it will be verified human by hardware certified by Apple/Google/Microsoft.

You're likely in for a treat if you haven't written C# in a while. The language has evolved quite a bit, especially around all kinds of nice ergonomics. Interesting things like pattern matching, using statements, and performance oriented primitives.

I got back to writing C# full time earlier this year and it's a joy.
I think that you are missing something here about how the passage of time works, be used you’re dead set on pinning gross incompetence on Microsoft.

In many cases medical insurers outsource decisions on what tests to cover to care guideline vendors such as MCG and Change Healthcare (Optum). Those vendors periodically update their guidelines based on medical research and evidence-based medicine protocols. For a new test to be covered it generally has to demonstrate some clear benefit in terms of improved patient outcomes.
This study seems to amount to “mitochondrial DNA damage is caused by mitochondrial DNA damage”. Yes, it’s interesting that it can spread once initiated, but what is causing the initial damage that’s setting off the chain reaction? The only clue seems to be in this sentence:

>By examining both human and mouse brains, researchers discovered that the damage to mitochondria in brain cells occurs and spreads when these cells have defects in anti-viral response genes.

So this is in response to a virus? That has been a theory for a very long time.

If you have government ID stating you are someone other than the person they think they are looking for it’ll not take long for them to move on.
Tangentially related but what's the name of the style that this website uses? I see it a lot recently. It's kind of retro-Y2K, it's got icons with big thick lines, lots of movement (spinning elements, tickers), a wide title font, background blurring on fixed elements and lots of gradients.

> make sense to "undo" only part of it with backspace

I'm not sure that ever really makes sense: it would be a misnomer if "backspace" didn't bring you "back" some amount of horizontal "space," I reckon. This logic holds up not only for cases like ö and emoji (where I'd hope the whole grapheme disappears), but also for scenarios like if one types <f><i> and an <fi> ligature appears, where I'd hope only the <i> disappears: that's fine because you are still going back some space.

If the key ever gets repurposed from "backspace" to "undo" then I would agree that it should step back to the previous state with as much granularity as possible.
I finally created a hackernews account after lurking for years just to write this. Thanks for taking the time to capture what (for many) was a mystical black box for years. I have distinct memories of being super nervous whilst jailbreaking my iPod 4G on iOS 4, wondering what all the scrolling terminal messages meant. Then, doing it for my mates over school lunch, worrying that I might unintentionally screw up their phone and be responsible for a few hundred dollars worth of 'bricked' technology lol.

In a way, all those years later, that 'magic' of breaking through Apple's walls and running custom code is what enticed me to get into programming. I have immense gratitude to all involved.

FDA approval is but the first step to actual usage by clinicians and reimbursement by insurance companies.

You are probably still 2 years away (maybe more) from being able to ask your doctor to prescribe it and getting insurance to reimburse.

However, they are now legally allowed to tell you about it and theoretically you can pay for it yourself
Well, from experience, all of the platforms are hit/miss on policing this type of content (drug use). For cannabis specifically, FB/IG(Meta) are inconsistent at best -- some stores have posts directly listing product and prices while others get blocked for a rather plain meme. Currently anything goes on Twitter but there is less response than before. Reddit allows all kinds of content; but the sub-reddits (even the cannabis oriented ones) have differing policy on posting things are pretty cleary CSA violations.
You are doing yourself a great disservice by drawing such strict distinctions between certain groups of people. Business people? Makers? I guarantee you that there are better “makers” than you that also at the very least have an MBA and practice that skill set daily. Your attitude points to you being, frankly, incredibly adversarial in nature, fed by what seems to me like a completely unjustified superiority complex.
"It was never clear who the $10,000 to $17,000 18-karat gold Apple Watch was for, beyond celebrities and the ultrarich"

Ummm I think it was for celebrities and the ultrarich.

Sad that we need laws to force people to treat others with respect, dignity, and fairness.

I had to fire a programmer once over this. I promoted a woman on my team over a man who wanted the job. She got the promotion because she deserved it, and the rest of the team respected her. The man told me “I can’t work for a woman, especially not one from a lower caste.” So I told him he should find another job.
Thanks to him we have those pseudo science orgone accumulators.
Which is why the gold never made any sense. The rumor has always been they did it entirely because Johnny Ive wanted to make a fancy gold watch.

The writing was on the wall the next year when they dropped gold and there was no way to upgrade it.

It was clearly someone’s vanity product. We don’t ever know if they ever sold a single one. Sure celebrities got them, but did anyone ever pay? It’s possible the answer is no. We also don’t know how many they made.

It was a laughing stock from day one, even among Apple lovers (like me).
I would as well. It isn't that I'm unsympathetic, it is just that we haven't outlawed technology that put others out of work, and I'm curious why we would decide as a society this time should be different. If there are good reasons I want to know.
