Yes. I was director of Research and Innovation in a company that produces equipment for people to do VTS and VTMIS, which is the maritime equivalent of Air Traffic Control.

We track targets (mostly ships, mostly maritime, but not always) and we use Kalman Filters (and variants) extensively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filter#Nonlinear_filter...

Contrary to your experience, there was a time when we were ridiculed for not using Kalman Filters, but in the limited niche we inhabited then, our internally developed algorithms out-performed Kalman.

But mostly, these days, yes, we use Kalman Filters of various types.
This is not exactly what you are asking for but a very nice explanation and it tries to work without math as long as possible https://www.bzarg.com/p/how-a-kalman-filter-works-in-picture...
This is all very vague and hardly stands up to any kind of scrutiny. Do you have any concrete examples of what you mean?
YouTube gets reminder to follow EU law over Hamas content
Being an interviewing engineer on the hiring side of a recent round at our company -- my goodness, I forgot how bad HR could make the tech hiring process.

I personally referred two excellent colleagues from past gigs, and had HR waste 3 hours of their time before DQing them because they mismatched on a cultural index quiz of some sort. I was not notified. When I finally found out, I was super embarrassed, and it damaged my relationship with one of the two friends. Guess how many colleagues I will be referring to this company in the future?

Our best applicants seemed to take weeks to schedule first interviews with. By the time we got to them, they had secured other gigs.

Strangely, many of the mediocre and "you're kidding, right?" candidates were actually promoted to us by our HR crew, wasting our time. I assume because their calendar times were widely open and available to us.

We ended up hiring some decent people, but.. I like to think if there was some sort of Quality Score we could apply, our HR team's involvement cost us 30% on the quality of people we ultimately brought on.

I wish I understood why companies did this. Our CTO apparently did not want to "ruffle feathers" to push back on HR's process. My continued howls of frustration about the process and its ineptitude actually got ME reprimanded. Which sent me back to the "fine, they're good enough" mindset in my screenings. Which completes the cycle of mediocrity.

Sigh. It should be better than this.
While true, the energy expense doesn't really scale with speed, so if a couch potato got up and decided to do 100k in, say, 8 hours, that's around the same amount of energy.

NB nobody would be able to do this without ingesting a substantial amount of food during. If you didn't start eating hourly after about 1-2 hours in, you'll "bonk" or run out of glycogen.
> This will most likely be flagged immediately for not denouncing Hamas.

Wait, so why don't you denounce them in your post then?
Graphene is not acceptable either, since it requires putting trust in someone who does not exibit enough stability or rationality to justify that kind of trust. I mean it's only the keys to your whole life, no big.
yes..

Also, MEPs are often elected differently allowing otherwise unlikely or fringe candidates to succeed.

And, parties/people just don't treap. EP seriously. Everyone knows it's a clownshow. Treat it that way. EP can't have more power because clownshow. Cycle.

It's a perfect 19th century steryotype of upper house (Council) and lower house (EP). One is a club. The other is a square. Public square, atm, are a hard place to do anything but show off and fight.
You're not wrong. The cultural shift you're describing even bleeds into real life these days.
The same presentation without Google tracking: https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10652-bahnmining_-_punktlichkeit...
Consider one of the early internet communities of the 1990s that came to be dominated by, say, Church of the Subgenius fans. Even if the topic of conversation was something else, people would frequently drop Subgenius lore and in-jokes and make Subgenius part of their online presentation, limited as it was in those pre-media days. If you weren’t interested in Subgenius and didn’t represent yourself as a member of that subculture, how much of a connection could you really feel with fellow members? On Mastodon today the particular nerd-culture markers are different, but whatever they are, it remains the case that not every nerd is going to be interested in them.

With regard to Western politics, I already get all that from a range of news sources, I have no interest in reading about it on social media. It is also easy to feel left out when people insist that the politics of the USA or their other, Western country is of paramount importance, but no one would care to discuss the politics that concern you. For my own reasons, I am interested in politics in Senegal right now, but that almost never appears on Mastodon. (In fact, it’s easy to feel that most of Sub-Saharan Africa doesn’t even exist for Mastodon.)
Oh, it can be, but it loves to just turn itself on. And I doubt anyone in charge of allocating FTE-time at YouTube gives a crap, because autoplay drives "engagement" and "views". Just actively user-hostile and safe to assume purposeful. My subscriptions don't randomly disappear, so why does this setting on my account?

The "autoplay on hover" thing can also be turned off, but get this, it's seemingly stored client-side so you have to turn it off on every computer you use, and if you reset your browser or clear the cache, it turns itself back on. I'm sure YT couldn't find the space to store a boolean.
The Whole Earth was never really anti-capitalist. Rather Brand and company leveraged the ideas early cybernetics research to build loose networks of engaged individuals with the goal of creating their own centers of power and authority in society and the economy.

I think you would benefit greatly from a different kind of treatment, with an antipsychotic. Your comments remind me so much of a brilliant person in my family who was able return to his high-level FAANG job after beginning antipsychotic treatment.
There are several multicenter RCTs showing the efficacy of glucose control, but none as yet that do it well in a fully automated way. We don't have these studies listed on the website, and that's one thing we could definitely change, but they're pretty easy to find in the literature.

You're correct though, that the number of patients needed to demonstrate efficacy in a pivotal trial will be somewhere in the 100-300 range, which is something we're working up to! As with all things in medicine, these things take lots time and lots of capital, but the need is clear and for people who understand that need, there are very few who wouldn't want to incorporate a fully automated glucose control system into their unit.

Regarding mortality reduction claims, I'd encourage you to read the work of Van DeBerghe, Krinsley, Kovatchev, Hovorka, Chase, and Umpierrez, to name but a few of the academics who have run larger studies

Show HN: LLM RAG-style coffee recommender
I roast coffee on the side and built a recommender (in a loose sense).

It's using Shopify's Hydrogen platform which uses Remix and GraphQL. The selections are used to query for tagged in-stock coffee and passes the results to OpenAI to pick one or generate a blend of coffee.

It's a RAG system without the vector DB.

I think, targeted advertising is the major (and single) incentive for what we have become to call echo chambers. Governmental institutions eventually chiming in into what is looking more and more like the predominant mode of discourse is just a consequence.
Well, for one, the addon you linked has not been updated for over 2 years. This doesn't speak to the substance of your question really, but ad-blocking is a whack-a-mole game. Resources need to be constantly updated to keep up with companies' efforts to thwart them.

It's always nice to see new efforts in this space.
Because we are the people that can best see behind the lies about Bitcoin. It's really not useful to pay with it. It's really not going to hold value if a big country (or EU) forbids it.

Away from Bitcoin, towards web3 and crypto. What useful things have we seen? Since nearly a decade we have been told and shown claims about unique features, changing the world and so on. Nothing came out of this.

What is crypto useful for right now? Buying/selling drugs, huge speculation & sending rather big amounts of money across the world (and then converting it to fiat lol).
I would love the Linux Foundation to add a clause on the licensing of the kernel saying "This software cannot be used inside the EU and applies retroactively" and see the surprised pikachu face of the MEPs who voted on this.

I can only dream.

How much would cost to replace Linux with a proprietary, commercial OS on all devices inside the EU? 10s or 100s of billions?

Complementary medicine means diet, exercise, and supplement regimens.

Denying that diet has an impact on health is very strange.
We had in France a shortage of pasta, flour and yeast (for a short time). I think there was a problem with butter at some point (I remember that because I bought margarine and it was uneatable).

At the same time there were plenty of other supplies uninterrupted and au no point was someone alarming about food shortages.
Telling someone who is facing genocide for his people that is at best tone deaf.
People tend to approve of direct democracies up until the point that they vote for something they don't like (in European settings, this will nowadays most likely be some anti-immigration measure like the Swiss minaret ban). Then all the talking points about dangerous populism and how politics is better left to professionals who can dedicate time to understanding what is actually good policy and are not swayed by base emotions re-emerge.
We do the same. We also have a sane application process (no long series of interviews, no leetcode, no crazy "competency tests", etc.) And the devs on the team that has the open position have the most influential say as to whether or not we make an offer.
Is 4096 still too small over 128? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...
Sure. But isn't what both sides should be aiming for a no-bullshit dialog where company explain what they need help doing, applicant explains that they can, how they can help get that done?

At some point the candidate needs to invest some time on communication with the specific employer - why waste everyone's time synchronously in first first interview, when it's better for both to waste that time asynchronously?
You don't really need many people to have a good forum. Even 1k monthly users is beyond huge.

It's just fundamentally a different scale of enterprise than social media.
> Did the i386 really have additional features

Here are a few:

- > 26 bit address space

- multiplication in hardware

- more complex instructions

- backwards compatibility with the 80286

- on-chip MMU

- support for a FPU

> that justify an order of magnitude?

I wouldn’t know. Backwards compatibility certainly is high on the list because, when it was released, many users had fairly high investments in commercial software.

A recruiter won't help.

The typical interview process for positions you are qualified for would be weeks, during which you should always be presentable (difficult when homeless), be available to take video calls on short notice, and not have any mental health breakdowns like some of your writing here suggests you might be experiencing.

You've said multiple things on this thread here which will absolutely make people go "WTF?" and end the hiring process out of caution. Hell, speaking to the tech industry right now in this state would probably make it worse for you down the line.

But if you really want a recruiter, just Google and call them up? You did mention though that companies use interviews as free consultancy rounds - most likely what's happening is that something in your background or behavior is making them terminate the hiring process midway through. That is a problem you'll need to work on in due course.

Right now you need to get a local menial job so you can rebuild. Not only will these jobs be generally easier to get than an SW job, it's not a big loss to lose one so you can make mistakes. Use that job to get yourself together (both physically and mentally) and then get back into the tech industry.

Several people mentioned that menial jobs are aplenty; I just searched Indeed for "waiter" jobs in Pittsburgh PA and indeed (no pun intended) I got multiple pages of results. Please apply to those and see how it goes.
If that was true, then there wouldn’t be database clients that are 100% faster than competitor clients and web servers that are several hundred % faster than slower ones, don’t you think?

“IO therefor slow” is a “myth”. IO is slow, but the 1,000 millisecond request times from the server you’re sitting beside is not slow because of IO.

When experts say “IO is slow”, they’re not saying that you should therefor disregard all semblance of performance characteristics for anything touching IO. They are saying that you should batch your IO so that instead of doing hundreds of IO calls, you do 1 instead.
A Political Party for Researchers
All over the world, people are tired of listening to political extempore. In this day and age, charisma and witty retorts are aplenty, but sustainable solutions are not. Thus, we are working towards an upgraded form of political outreach with a focus on research! Our goal is not to win elections in the near future, but instead to build a community of critical thinkers for our long-term future.

Some challenge areas where we need your help for research and outreach are
1) Optimizing the air quality in major cities
2) Disaster management for floods, earthquakes, fires, energy crisis etc.
3) Optimizing public-transportation networks in major cities
4) Preserving the soil quality and productivity of our farmlands

Our biggest challenges are outside identity politics - so let us unite and help each other!
The financial sector only makes up 9% of the Swiss GDP. Additionally in 1996 there was a global investigation by several nations including Switzerland, several Jewish organizations and the US into "Nazi Gold" and in 1998 Swiss banks paid 1.25 Billion to Holocaust victims[2].

Switzerland has one of the highest percentage in Europe of foreigners living in its borders[1]. It is a staggering 24%. Next one down is Austria with 14.4%.

I only tried with ChatGPT 3.5, but it’s shit at ROT13. It just makes huge errors routinely. It has been explained to me on HN that this is an artifact of the encoding process that happens before the LLM actually “runs”.
A programming language doesn’t need a canonical syntax if its semantics are specified in terms of the data-structures the parser produces and not in terms of the textual representation of those data structures.
Could you please expand on this last point? Would it not be the same in case of C++’s `const`s?
I think you should have to show your ML creds to claim LLM research is "pseudoscience", but here we are.

Fyi N=1. I remember a train from Stuttgart to Amsterdam, even quite a few years go, the end result was we would be quite close to missing the last trains to final destination in Amsterdam due to mishaps at Frankfurt. We (the Dutchies) got better support from the NS (Dutch railways) than the Germans at all places. We could call a number to get alternative routes, get advice on where to go, what to ask and got notice on what to do when. Eventually we were told to board a train by taking a local train to Frankfurt Flugplatz but first get our tickets transfered so we would get prefered seats. Afterwards we even got all tickets back, including transfers, due to delays and even the transfer tickets back with a few online clicks while the Germans had to fill in all kinds of forms. On the final train the Germans were surprised when the Dutch officers were asking everyone their end destination (stil in Germany) to know if they could delay the transfer trains in the Netherlands so everyone could get home. If you could not a cab would be free of charge.

For me that was the day I realised the Dutch trains weren't as bad as I thought.

edit: I did have a first class ticket but the end line -make sure every one got home- was in general no questions asked.
No. The big issue is that the trains aren’t considered safe. The homeless hang out and cause a lot of issues. I’ve been accosted by them on the green line. Which is too bad as with connections you can go all the way from my area all the way to Universal Studios.

There are many more ways of targeting advertisement than just paying for it directly. That's why we just need to ban all governmental advertising.

For example:

- buying space only in some paper/digital magazines and customizing the message for each of them

- placing posters only in some locations, e.g. capital city areas with significant universities, or business parks predominantly used by organizations funded by the EU

- sending letters to selected people

...
In online people sometimes write things the way they want them to be, not the way they factually are. In small ways it comes across as wishful thinking, in other ways it's just plain old lying.

I didn't feel that the comment trivialising multiple hash collisions was worth a direct reply, because the author is clearly not writing with bona fide intentions, or any real knowledge about an image scanning system. It's the fingers in ears, head in the sand kind of denialism that adds nothing to the conversation.

My earlier comment already addressed what happens after the hashes match: a visual comparison. This isn't an original concept, it's a standard approach and part of earlier CSAM scanning proposals.

One needs to act rather barefaced to pretend that a matched hash alone will have consequences, when we already have established that false positives are the known downside to using hash-based image matching.
Last year I finally made the push to de-google as much as possible. I dropped gmail/google calendar in exchange for ProtonMail. Replaced google photos/drive with Backblaze (there is a manual step now). Moved all my domains from Google Domains to Cloudflare (thankfully). The only tether I still have to Google is my YouTube account. Other than that I can say my life has been entirely de-coupled from Google. I simply do not trust Google anymore. Between their history of randomly killing projects and awful consumer support its just not worth it.

Or the European Pirate Party or similar. They have a handful of elected MEPs at any given time.

That is the problem though. That's not very serious politics. If it's a coalition of tech companies, law enforcement and whatnot vs pirates and anarchists... guess who wins?

A normative, liberal movement/coalition that is for digital freedom is not far fetched. It just doesn't exist. That's why we're losing.

This post demonstrates the problem quite well.
