Please let me know if I can help.

A paper published today finds an anomaly in an "InternalBleeding" dataset, after setting eighteen parameters [a].

Could we find the anomaly with a completely parameter-free algorithm?
As the figure below shows, the answer is YES, if you use MADRID [b].

One line of code >>MADRID(UCRAnomalyInternalBleeding)

So Yes, simple is better.

[a] Learning Rate, Dropout Rate, Dim Feedforward, Batch Size, Encoder Layers, Decoder Layers, Activation Func, Time Warping, Time Masking, Gaussian Noise, Linear Embedding, Phase Type, Self Conditioning, Layer Norm, Pos. Enc. Type, FFN Layers, Window Size.

I don't mean to be harsh, but is this journalism now?

When you write an article and say something has been corroborated by your "sources", does that mean "forwarded to you by anonymous HN posters"?

You don't have an IRL relationship with a source who has created a GPT? You can't throw a stone in the valley without hitting somebody who has.

Ending of that series caught me off guard a bit, got really down for a while first time.

I think you misunderstand me -- if I wasn't getting paid, of course I would find another job. That's just reality. I'm not independently wealthy; I need to earn a living.

Outside of that, I find my work to be meaningful in and of itself.

I wonder if many of the ills in our society are related to this: Many people don't see any dignity or meaning in their work. Maybe they're right. Maybe not. Either way, that's a big problem.
It depends what you mean by child labor. My experience is that the children help on the farm but for the most part do school full time until at least their latter teenage years. It's pretty different than the child labor in the article.
Yeah I don’t know what they’re doing with the new parts of Tanzu that don’t have revenue (will ask the next time I talk to folks, but I mostly don’t know people in that part of the org) but I haven’t seen any sign they’re cutting TAS. The only folks I know who got laid off so far took an optional severance package that was offered to everyone. The continuing offers were strong.

Cloud Foundry customers really, really like Cloud Foundry, and are uninterested in running it without support from a vendor.
I’m pretty sure we got it off file sharing networks. My high school friend group quoted it endlessly.
Nothing even slightly surprising here to anyone who can read between the lines. Guy's obviously very succesful in building "consensus" out of nowhere.
It's not really $ > person.

It's group of people A, who are conducting a [series of] transaction(s) with group of people B. It so happens that the wares being exchanged are currency vs. software but that's really besides the point.

It may be worth adding that the planetary ephemeris are computed by NASA (JPL) by integrating the equations of motion forward in time numerically.

Then the results (e.g. planet centroid as a function of time) are encoded in a file, as noted above.

That file is then read by the ephemeris software to obtain the position at the desired time.

I haven’t checked in a few years, but there used to be multiple files to choose from depending on the time range you needed to cover.

It’s free — “your taxpayer dollars at work.”
What's the pay for this like at the research engineer level? I'm seeing stuff suggesting this is $70k~$80k which is well under half what it needs to be competitive.

Baleted!
They are talking about cobalt from coltan - cobalt-tanatalum - ore, 70% of which is used in vehicle and device batteries. Not solar panels. Your article you linked contained the word "solar" and none of them were related to child mining of coltan for solar panels.

They did allude to energy storage in batteries for wind and solar sources, and if you look there are a number of research projects to reduce cobalt consumption in grid scale storage and other battery cathode applications.

Your summary of the article is misleading and incorrect.

> order for it to work, you have to be willing to add more metadata to your program, because programs themselves don't have the necessary data in them

I'm kind of stumped by this assertion. What data is missing?

If it is required or necessary, doesn't it make it just data, as in an integral part of the code?
This is exactly the same argument that was often used to justify slavery in the US and after all these years it's still not compelling. Ending slavery in the US didn't "lead to worse problems", it was a massive improvement.

People who are free may thrive or struggle, but they'll do it without a master which is always an improvement. There are no solutions to those deeper problems that impact people in poverty which would be prevented by freeing them from exploitation. If you want people's situation to improve, why not do both?

Pre-YouTube internet largely didn't exist anymore. Flash is gone and one-by-one the old sites fall with no usable archive.

I don’t know why you’re downplaying the Fukushima disaster, that’s a bizarre thing to argue. I hope something like that never happens in your hometown.

>> Here's the thing: every source of energy contains risk.
Solar and Wind are never going to be reliable enough to produce a baseload.

Are nuclear power plants guaranteed sufficient uptime to provide baseload? Germany faced an energy crisis a couple years ago because too many of their nuclear plants were undergoing scheduled maintenance at once, and were unable to contribute to baseload when Russia cut off Germany’s oil supply.

At least batteries can be stored in a variety of locations, as opposed to one central location that may be susceptible to natural disasters or a terrorist attack. Same with solar and wind farms. Europe was on tenterhooks during the bombing of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant a year back. I don’t think the wind and solar farms that were destroyed during the invasion even made the news.

I agree, everything comes with risk. The point I’m trying to make is that nuclear power comes with unique risks that are inarguably far more horrible than the risk of a tree falling on someone or a solar panel electrocuting a maintenance worker or something.
> there's quite a bit of unfunded mandate that states will have to come up with

Counterpoint, I don't mind doing things this way so long as the mandate is reasonable.

If the federal government pays for this, they are guaranteed to have to overpay. If they set a mandate, it means states (and individuals) have tons of freedom and flexible in how they want to pay for it.

No one bats an eye at new car safety regulations or fire codes. If it's sensible enough, the market can pick up a lot of slack.

I'm not surprised you don't consider the team you work on as overhead. But it is just that. This is a Rails only problem. This is not a problem that applies to other engineering ecosystems, because upgrades are easy to trivial in other ecosystems. It is a problem that shouldn't exist. It makes sense that the only way Shopify has found to do efficient Rails upgrades and keep using Rails is to dedicate a team to it and subsidize Rails core development. But this isn't a model other companies should follow.

I don't see the JVM team as the same thing as a team dedicated to working off a project's core. The JVM team looks closer to the YJIT project. Making a JIT also calls into question Shopify's scalability: Rails was slow enough that they allowed a JIT to be built internally? That's quite the trade-off to make.

I sometimes challenge myself and see how long I can keep scam callers on the line.

Don't hang up! "Just hangup" is a government conspiracy to increase scammers effectiveness.

I've found the strategy of just responding "yes" to every question to be a good balance between time wasted and expended cognitive effort. Obviously, you'll want to be careful to not engage in any contract, but when they're calling to reduce the interest rate on my visa/mastercard or amex debit card (uhhhhhh), it works.

A new age of the worker will overturn conventional thinking
Kitboga has shown in his videos where a victim will be at the store, and will either see a sign that warns about gift card scams, or is specifically told by the cashier, and still buys them.

Why? Because often the scammer already has remote access to their computer and has threatened to lock it permanently, or take over their bank account, or whatever else. Maybe they’ve already used the infamous Inspect Element to ‘zero’ their bank account. Scam or not, the victim believes that they’ve already lost.

You would need a cashier to have, essentially, Kitboga-level knowledge of current scams so they could accurately explain why the victim shouldn’t buy the cards, explain that their bank account is actually safe, and also ideally provide instructions on how to the scammer off their computer. That probably goes beyond the scope of most cashiers.
These people will be blown away by server side rendering. Caches in front of API's and light weight front ends.

I am all for your efforts.

I am very keyboard centric. My sweet spot is macOS keyboard shortcuts. Especially those as defined by BBEdit.

But I have learned from all the platforms I have worked on. (TRS-DOS, MSDOS, OS/2, macOS, Windows, Linux)

I never get into Vim primarily because of HJKL. I have spent many hours trying. But I do use IJKL as arrow keys via hardware keyboard macros, AutoHotKey, Karabiner Elements, or the like. I have mostly bent Windows and KDE Linux to my Mac-like keyboard standards. (And my Mac’s are heavily customized too)

I do heavily use CTRL and arrow keys for word by word navigation, and all the other arrow key bindings. So that is a personal deal breaker for me.

You should take a look at the Micro editor. It shares many of your ideas.

Hightouch |Remote (North America)|Full-time

Some background on Hightouch - our mission is to help companies leverage their customer data to grow. We started with the problem of “Reverse ETL” or helping companies sync data from their data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, etc.) to 200+ SaaS tools (Salesforce, Marketo, Facebook Ads, etc.) without coding. Since then, we’ve evolved into a suite of tools around the warehouse (identity resolution, data enrichment, event streaming, etc.). We’ve raised a Series B and scaled to $15m+ ARR in 3 years with 500+ customers including Fortune 500 co’s like Spotify, the NBA, PetSmart, etc.

We are looking for an Engineering Leader, reporting into our VP, Engineering. This role will manage our two most central backend teams that power the core of our product. The role is both technically complex & high impact. We have challenges like operating a large-scale distributed system that’s both multi-region and multi-cloud. In addition, you can help shape our core platform’s roadmap. In addition to leaders interested in deep backend technical challenges, this role is a great fit for someone who is looking to take a VP/Head of Engineering role next!
