I also love Patio11's writing - but the formal thinking in this space is generally within the bountiful sub-disciplines that exist between and within Anthropology and Sociology. James C. Scott is, among other things, an Anthropologist[1].

Social scientists of various stripes write about these kinds of things quite often. I don't know much about the banking sector, but there are lots of authors writing accessible, detailed books that look into the intersection of politics, technology, society, identity, and other factors.

I think part of what makes Patio11's writing so attractive to the HN crowd is that he writes with technical rigor in a way few social scientists can manage. A lot of social science is, in my opinion, nibbling around the edges of a lot of the "stuff" in digital worlds - but there is a lot to get through and it's not a huge field! So reading a lot of the source texts can be kind of frustrating: good stuff, but if they're describing a field you work in there will probably be parts it seems like they got wrong. Patrick, on the other hand, does get the details right - and the general sociology.

[1] He's also been a CIA asset! A man of contradictions (or patterns - there are a surprisingly large number of good Anthropologists who are arguably bad humans).
> It must be extremely challenging to have your own inhouse engine.

Agreed - there are so many off-the-shelf engines with big communities that you'd really have to need full control to do it yourself.
I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with that.

My Mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, and they went all out with radiation, chemo, experimental new treatments and a TON of tests and scans. They estimated she had 12 months to live, she made it just under three years and had basically every treatment and scan even conceived to fight cancer.

Money or insurance were never even discussed or mentioned once. It's simply not part of our world.

I am far more concerned about AI ingesting data about myself and others than I am about humans reading it. Humans have limited attention, memory, organizational ability, interest and processing power. Supercomputers with AI remember everything and can find patterns to exploit that no human ever could.

You can't have both oversubscription and isolation, almost by definition. If you want isolation, VMs are great. If you want oversubscription, OSes are still better than container runtimes at managing competing processes on the same host.
Even a good blog post would include research with multiple sources. This is something else. A hit piece, maybe, or a smear campaign.
If that's how you perceive the public, that's an inherently anti democratic view imo. If they can't read documents that journalists have access to, how could they be given the power to decide who is leading them?

Light levels and “artistic Lighting” are linked through a camera’s dynamic range.

Harsh studio lighting wasn’t just about the total amount of light it was also attempting to compensate for limited dynamic ranges. Getting everything evenly lit was an exacting process which has simply become less demanding.

The artistic side of lighting is just as complex and relevant as it ever was. However, as sensors get closer to human capabilities setting things up gets closer to what you see is what you get, which is extremely helpful. There is still a disconnect which must be accounted for to get the best results, and plenty of new options to play with. But fewer gotchas mean decent lighting is generally fine.
I worked for a large Telco (not Optus) and was constantly shocked by how little the management knew about anything.

They hired a new Director of "Core Network", and in her first all-hands meeting she loudly asked what IPV6 was. (serious, she had never heard of it).

The Director of IT had me setup her home wifi because she had no idea what DHCP was.

The VP of "IT/Internet" literally had other people make her Powerpoints because she couldn't. She had never done anything more on a computer than send emails.

It was shocking, but also really eye-opening to realize how important business acumen and playing the political game were.
If it were that Only *.hu could be signed by a Hungarian-approved CA, then that would be one thing.

How many functional drawbridges in urban areas are there in the US? Seems like a funny comparison. I don’t know of any in the New York metro, and the only one I can think of in the Bay Area is the one at the eastern end of Alameda. Certainly not a common inconvenience that people just put up with.

The FDA's press release didn't say anything about the success rate, only that the test group had significantly lower levels of depression than the control group. It's true that a lot of antidepressants fail to improve symptoms in a lot of people. The effectiveness of this particular drug better be outstanding, otherwise Biogen-Sage won't be able to justify the high price compared to other antidepressants.
I suppose it has happened, but I agree with the point you're making. Unless you're really connected and know exactly WTF you're doing, there's probably about a 99.99% chance that the hitman you've hired will be an undercover agent.

Ask HN: What is the best way to learn AI/Machine learning as a PM in 2023?
Like the title says, I am looking to have a deeper understanding of how it works. I am not looking for quick article to just skim but actually understand it deeply.

Can you all please recommend ways to wrap my head around it. From the mathematics behind it, tech that goes behind it, foundatational knowledge etc.

I know there is a lot of knowledge out there, but it can be overwhelming to know where to start.

Open to books, courses, etc to learn from the ground up.

Thanks!

It is a matter of perspective. I find daily joy in movement and motion. There are thousands of foods I have yet to try, innumerable combinations of spices I have yet to experience. Heck, a very large number of flower varities I haven't smelled!

If you get up every morning and hate eat your breakfast, your day will be off to a terrible start. If you get up and look forward to the new type of sausage you got from the farmers market over the weekend, then life is pretty grand!

Much classical production equipment is bulky. You need stability, but not support for fifty kilos at the camera end.[1] Here's a Louma crane from 2012. It's beautifully controlled, but huge. It looks like something you'd use to move bricks to an upper floor of a building site. That was needed with a Panavision camera and a TV camera for aiming at the business end. Now you can lighten up.

Half of those Louma crane shots could be done today with a DJI Mini 4 drone.

What do pros use today when you need a precisely controlled boom for quiet indoor use and the camera only weighs a few hundred grams? There must be something more compact than the Louma monsters.

Probably not. Law enforcement regularly targets drug stings against individuals they think are dealers but can't yet prove. It's still just an offer the subject wanted to engage in.

You'd think this is non-controversial, but have worked at places where product and UX act as gatekeepers and don't want engineers involved with the problem solving. They'll "figure it out for you" and then spoon feed Jira tickets and Figma mockups to devs.

Mostly they don't. Web widgets exist for about 30 years now, while fake desktop apps shipping a browser go back to Windows 95 Active Desktop and Mozzilla's XUL.

> how sharing takes place in spite of those controls

Sharing takes place because countries have mutual data sharing agreements. It is up to the receiving country to comply with domestic laws.

For example if GCHQ has a dish pointed at a foreign communications satellite and receives all downlink communications, they might share that stream of raw data with partner countries. If NSA receives that stream the first thing that happens is it gets decoded into call data and parsed for any hint of US nexus communications at which point it gets tagged USPER and is not accessible to analysts.

I feel the integrity of data is WAY more important than pure performance and scalability. This is why i always shunned planetscale [vitess] (make no mistake, i really like their product and they have a nice free tier). When the need for sharding comes you have probably "made it" and most likely can afford a deeper refactor both in application and database design.

That said, true FK support is a very nice addition. However it really pains me to you MySQL, as it has a baggage it carries and is not SQL compliant. Thats why i always go for Postgres instead.
Using any web service requires implicitly trusting the government (in the sense of the entity that can give orders that men with guns will follow; not necessarily the party currently in power, in the case of places that have checks and balances) of wherever it's hosted. Not being also obliged to trust 170-odd other governmental and nongovernmental entities would be a step up (I know certificate transparency helps with this to a certain extent, but being a root CA is still a privileged status; really I should be able to use a .foo domain without putting any trust in entities outside foo)
Not really. Nothing here is a linear process.
The only part that rubs me the wrong way is,

> The pipe operator will first check to see if the left hand value could be used as the first argument to the call, e.g. a |> b(1, 2) would become b(a, 1, 2).

Optimizing for one less _ typed is a really bad trade-off in terms of clarity here.
If the law mandates a MITM capability, and users in the EU don’t consider it important enough to oppose said law, there isn’t really a choice and the region scoped certs may be the only choice moving forward.

It looks like their form submission handler is being annoying, probably because it was being asked to store a database of murder requests.

In the day of free static hosting and insane amounts of otherwise free computing power, it's hard to believe it's "financially difficult" to serve web page and store what probably is a form submission per week at most.

Also from the website:

Guy's weird.
I agree with the fact that it's a funny comparison, but I must point out that Chicago has 37 movable bridges within the city limits, with over half of those located in the downtown core. From a casual Google it seems like there are around 1000 bascule/draw bridges in the US, mostly on shipping channels. So somewhat common along the coasts, Great Lakes, and the Mississippi, but rare in most of the US interior
> the EU can actually ORDER browser makers to keep approving their backdoored certificates

But they can’t. Maybe they can order some companies to do so, those companies which would fight tooth and nail in court, whom cumulatively have more money than the EU (probably).. . and certainly more lawyers.

But at the end of the day, they couldn’t force every browser. No company would accept a website that doesn’t work with 30% of the internet. It would, once again, knee cap that company.

And while I’m not sure of every browser, I’m fairly sure you can delete CA’s in most browsers today. You certainly can on an OS level. So as soon as one CA get’s p0wned by the government, the techies would just run around and “help” all their friends and family delete the CA from being trusted.

>But now they have trouble hiring people because there's a tiny pool of people who know that language

>In 2023 you've got to have really good reasons for not using C#, or Java, or Python, or TypeScript for building your web project. Maybe Golang

In my country, very few people know Go, so we hire devs without requiring them to know Go - we teach them the language, and after a few weeks, they already feel pretty confident with it. In fact, most devs are actually interested in trying something new, some new language.

Maybe your employer's problem is that they are only looking for CVs where the language is mentioned as a keyword, and don't consider anything else?
That actor is not a celebrity though. In fact she is practically anonymous. She was not hired to raise the visibility of the product or lend it credibility via her celebrity.

Just in case anyone gets tempted, the P106-100's were mining cards and locked to PCIe 1.1, so the bus bandwidth is terrible. Add to that the limited amount of memory (6GB), low memory bandwidth, Pascal (1/64 speed FP16), and that these were all likely being run in extremely shoddy data centers, it's not even worth the power costs to run IMO.

For those looking for the cheapest higher memory solutions, 24GB P40s are available (decent amount of VRAM, 3X the memory bandwidth, but requires server or DIY cooling, same bad FP16) or IMO the best bang/buck for hobbyists/home devs atm, used RTX 3090s are going for about $600-700 each.

(Note: if you're doing training, unless you have very high utilization/already calculated your costs, you will probably be much better off renting cloud GPUs from Vast.ai, RunPod, etc)
Using a full-blown GPU just for neural network inference is crazy inefficient. They should hire some blockchain dudes to build them custom hardware for one tenth of the price.
"Black lives matter", "trans rights are human rights" and "no Nazi bullshit" are completely uncontroversial positions though. Like, if you disagree with those, then there's something fundamentally wrong with how you view the world and interact with other human beings.
