Thank you! The data from TMDB is cached when someone starts ranking a show for the first time. At the moment there is no system for refreshing it, but that's on the to-do list, so that if there are improvements to the data, they'll be fetched.

Thanks for the feedback - I love the idea of a "I didn't watch it", that's super important. Maybe that could drop it out of the list entirely (since it can't count for anything).

The "rate a single season" idea is one of the main things to come out of today, and it's where I'm going to take this next. When you land on a show, instead of a single "start ranking" button you'll have a list of all the seasons in the show, and be able to rank them individually. And since all these comparisons are stored in your browser, I can make it count toward your "full show" ranking automatically, so that if you ever get to that, you'll already have it in progress.

To those 10% you were absolutely wrong. Why should they suffer because you were "mostly right" with other people?
That’s fair. The comments were veering off from academic standards to mideast ethnic conflict.

But I do think the standards of the leadership of the world’s greatest university matter to Hacker News readers.
I suspect that is why Disney has been using Steamboat Willy as its production logo in recent years. Let's wait to see how it shakes out in the courts - but perhaps the threats will be enough.
List of Animals That Have Passed the Mirror Test
I was lucky to have a boss who let me dip my toe into the water of management. I dealt with a team of 10, I was formerly a IC on, and they required very little effort. After a year I decided to go back to being an IC as well. I was glad I was able to see I didn’t want to do it when the stakes were low and the team was actually easy to manage. It also gave me some more empathy for those in those management roles.

Interestingly, back in YouTube land, Matt D'Avella also just announced he got rid of his team and is back to doing things himself. He fell into that trap of thinking he needed to hire a team and scale a few years back, then found himself as a manager and wasn’t happy. It’s good Tom was able to see the paths ahead to avoid the headaches and layoffs when he ultimately decided he didn’t like it.
Would I pay $10,000 to get a prospective $20,000 of my income secured? Yeah, duh, but I'm sure as hell not going to be happy about it.
9x9 is a really small grid. 81 tiles. Storing all the distances from every tile to every other tile would take 6561 bytes. Fits in a typical L1 cache.

The nice thing about that is that you can use it as a lookup table for your heuristic function instead of the usual straight line. This table can be initialized at the start of each turn, for example using the Floyd-Warshall algorithm with the already placed walls. I managed to significantly speed up my A* on a similar problem using this technique, plus, it is really simple, it was straight A* though, no MPAA or JPS.
Netscape did have a nice http server. NSAPI was, as I recall, the earliest version of something like FastCGI, where your backend processes were separate from the web server, but didn't have to fork/exec/exit for every request.

Am I the only one who doesn't use a specific note-taking app? What am I missing? If I need to write something down, I just...write it down wherever is convenient. Torn piece of notebook paper, sticky note, markdown file, Apple Notes, whatever. And then refer to it if I need it. I commit to memory anything that's very important to remember.

It sounds like a lot of people detail each and every day, and I just don't understand the point. I'm also someone who enjoys writing a lot, but those are usually about specific topics. Not just my life ad-nauseam. It sounds like a chore to do all the things people in this thread are talking about

I've tried using programs like OneNote or Obsidian, and found that I configure it, use it once, and then literally never open the application again. Whatever I wrote was not important enough to ever read again for some reason.
Kindle Scribe to Mastodon
Congrats on the launch! How's your experience with HTMX been? I love that library and am using it in my new project as well.

Some feedback:

It'd be nice to see a few examples of resulting CVs quickly. Or perhaps some pre-populated templates ready to be edited.

The one image on the front page is not too appealing to be honest, and the templates that are visible on the builder page are empty unless I invest a lot of time into populating the fields.

Also the wizard feels a bit janky (at least on Firefox). The forms are jumping and changing size on mouse hover, which is a bit disorienting.

Hope that helps.
Is the suggestion that Elon Musk has no or little influence over Fidelity's drastically bad valuation change? And also that Axios is engaging in propaganda?

I infer that from the comment. I am not an expert on propaganda.

I do read critically too however. I wonder if I'm missing some connecting detail?
Exactly. Or like those “Official Highland Titles” from Scotland.

I don’t think this is the typical borrower profile now, but balloon loans are historically for people who have most of the cash needed for development (or who have all the cash needed and think that they can get a 10% return while their interest rate is 6% over the life of the loan.)

In that case, since you already have most of the capital lying around, a balloon payment lets you use other cash but you’re not worried about a large payment.

Seems like a lot of commercial real estate is structured as a balloon loan to people who may not be able to make the lump sum payment, which is probably where the underwriting failure lies. Refinancing is a tool a savvy borrower can use as rates go down, but it’s not a strict expectation that you do that if you get a balloon loan, even on short term loans.

I’m just wrapping up a PhD in ML. The notation here is unnecessarily complex IMO. Notation can make things easier, or it can make things more difficult, depending on a number of factors.
That's a fair opinion and I'd be supportive of trying it if everyone could agree on such a number. I'm just less optimistic it'll work out but status quo isn't all that great either so trying something people think could work would be better than doing nothing in my book, despite my doubt on it.

Keep in mind even if you have and ideal 100% success rate on claims, recovering 100% of the deposits, it's still going to be thousands and thousands of dollars which used to be liquid now relegated to holding up the revolving door claims processing fees. Anything less than 100% just starts to make it an actual money pit instead of a financial annoyance.
the reason skip connections improve performance is that they improve gradient flow in very deep networks.

Not any more so than sites with frameworks. I’ve found XSS issues in Java Spring framework built sites that didn’t “do things exactly right”. A framework doesn’t magically fix that.

I think the blue is still considered "cool" perhaps precisely because it's rare and it was the last LED colour to be available cheaply. It seems to be a rather persistent trend, though. In the UK a blue light on an electric kettle has been standard for the past 15 years at this point. Red/orange and green seem deeply uncool as they are associated with neons and old LEDs that have been available basically forever at this point.

Ask HN: Best way to learn GPU programming?
I'd like to learn GPU programming but I'm having difficulty finding high-quality resources. I tried a class at coursera and was severely disappointed by both quality and content.

What are the best resources for learning things like GPU architecture, CUDA, Triton, etc?

My goal is to do be able to do something like take a description of Flash Attention and implement it from scratch, or optimize existing CUDA code.
I think you misunderstand how I use stock. I use a teaspoon or two of BtB for an entire dish to help build a sauce or otherwise season. So I am using it for its salt content entirely - as in, I salt the dish less because I account for that.

It's 30% the recommended salt in a single teaspoon. That's like a big pinch of kosher salt. So really, it's like 3-5% per serving because I get 6-8 servings out of my dishes. right.
Well WhatsApp and Telegram are free, so it's hard to make that argument there, but my understanding was that the problematic behaviour was for Apple to make the performance of those devices otherwise worse without disclosing the reasons why, which caused people to upgrade earlier than they otherwise would have.

The analogy would be for WhatsApp to make it take artificially longer to send messages on Android 4.4, which I think people would have a problem with but they have no good reason to that.

I can't speak for Telegram, but in the case of WhatsApp, they decide to deprecate particular SDK versions when the usage of those SDK versions drops below a threshold, and it's against their interests to do otherwise, because they lose market share and they are making a tradeoff between engineering support costs and users.
It sounds like you're caring about the process (not the content).

What's blocking you from shipping the feature (as you see it) or raising your concern up the organization?
Major rights holders should take action in the cases where not taking action will cost them more money than manual review. Right now they are spamming garbage notices out and offloading all cost to the content sources receiving their notices (websites, content creators, etc.). They should have to do manual review and be more selective about when to take action. There /should/ be a penalty for fraudulent takedown notices. Using an automated process is not an excuse.

I have no doubt intelligence agencies would decrypt anything and everything, but it seems more like they would just because vs perceived need.
Empirically yes, I can consider a very deep fully-connected network, measure the gradients in each layer with and without skip connections, and compare. I can do this across multiple seeds and run a statistical test on the deltas.

No he isn't, everyone who has ever investigated academic fraud reports that it's extremely difficult to get papers retracted, even when the evidence is blatant and obvious. The extreme difficulty of getting journals to care is, though, exceeded by the difficulty of getting universities to care - most investigators draw the line at just trying to get a retraction because even that is exhausting.

Elizabeth Bik has said:

“Science has a huge problem: 100s (1000s?) of science papers with obvious photoshops that have been reported, but that are all swept under the proverbial rug, with no action or only an author-friendly correction … There are dozens of examples where journals rather accept a clean (better photoshopped?) figure redo than asking the authors for a thorough explanation.”

I wrote an essay about this in 2021. The photo at the start is indicative of the level of problem we're talking about here: you can literally just look at it and notice it's a Photoshopped photo, yet the journal contacted the authors who gave them a transparently nonsensical explanation, fully accepted without question. The people who did the fake research of course suffered no penalties and continued to be employed, most likely their employer never even found out.

https://blog.plan99.net/fake-science-part-i-7e9764571422

The retraction rate in science is small because standards are low, and whenever random outsiders stumble across problems the system closes ranks. Getting even one paper retracted is a giant struggle and succeeding doesn't cause other papers based on the first to be retracted either.

Consider that in psychology papers, basic statistical consistency checks of the numbers in them fail about half the time. Were half of all psychology papers retracted when this fact was discovered? Definitely not.

Also, bear in mind that journals and universities have very narrow criteria for retraction. They care a lot about plagiarism and data forgery, but if the paper is merely filled with nonsense then nobody cares. The DCM paper I call out in the blog post "calculated" that the average Brit lives in a household with 7 other people. This problem was noticed during peer review but never fixed, and the paper has been cited 75 times so far. It would certainly not be retracted if anyone asked.

Scalar explicitly does not implement the virtualized filesystem the OP is referring to. The original Git VFS for Windows that Microsoft designed did in fact do this, but as your third link notes, Microsoft abandoned that in favor of Scalar's totally different design which explicitly was about scaling repositories without filesystem virtualization.

There's a bunch of related features they added to Git to achieve scalability without virtualization, including the Scalar daemon which does background monitoring and optimization. Those are all useful and Scalar is a welcome addition. But the need for a virtual filesystem layer for large-scale repositories is still a very real one. There are also some limitations with Git's existing solutions that aren't ideal; for example Git's partial clones are great but IIRC can only be used as a "cone" applied to the original filesystem hierarchy. More generalized designs would allow mapping arbitrary paths in the original repository to any other path in the virtual checkout, and synchronizing between them. Tools like Josh can do this today with existing Git repositories[1].

The Git for Windows that was referenced isn't even that big at 300GB, either. That's well within the realm of single machine stuff. Game studios regularly have repositories that exist at multi-terabyte size, and they have also converged on similar virtualization solutions. For example, Destiny 2 uses a "virtual file synchronization" layer called VirtualSync[2] that reduced the working size of their checkouts by over 98%, multiple terabytes of savings per person. And in a twist of fate, VirtualSync was implemented thanks to a feature called "ProjFS" that Microsoft added to Windows... which was motivated originally by the Git VFS for Windows they abandoned!

I don't think you get out of this with 0 suffering for everyone. That'd require some utopian method of figuring all of this out completely automatically with no errors for free. It's just not a realistic bar to measure either side on.

As for amount of suffering an actual DMCA counter notice is an extremely easy thing to provide. What sites like e.g. YouTube do instead via backdoor agreements with IP holders outside the regulatory structure is where the real inconvenience comes from. That said, I wouldn't mind a bit more shift in general to make things slightly more difficult for copyright owners though. Just not as major a one as saying 100% of claims need to be valid from the get go or it's not viable for copyright holders.
Completely agree. This is more than half the battle for me. You might say it’s the entire job for some roles.
That's quite neat and makes posts feel almost tangible. Writing on a Scribe and having it appear online in a public arena.

A suggestion for the post would be to have the scribe and mastodon side by side to show it "in action" so to speak.

Perhaps. But I wonder how much of this completely passive entertainment was in our ancestral environment? Before 50 years ago, the percentage of all humans who had ever experienced the symphony was so low it was essentially zero. Perhaps the boredom is integral to good living?

Indeed - you're absolutely right.

Not sure if the comment I responded to was edited to add the parent node after my post or if I just overlooked it, but I should have quoted that I was just referring to the left and right siblings (i.e. two linked lists):

It's a good thing.

Everyone will have a chance to be the big fish in a small pond again, rather than being a drop in a global ocean. Everyone's self-esteem will improve as a result. Nobody will feel inadequate compared to everyone else on the planet. Nothing is more demotivating than seeing leaderboards dominated by random Japanese kids that you'll never have a chance of ever beating.

It's no more silly than Christians claiming God gave them dominion over an entire continent that other people happened to be living on at the time, or any of the nonsense around the Holy Land. Abrahamists don't accept such limitations on the claims their religions make, because they claim their religion is correct for the entire universe. Why should we insist that other religions be more accommodating?

Of course the Navajo think the moon is sacred. Tons of people consider the moon sacred. Instead of focusing on ridiculing their beliefs we should be considering why they're upset and whether dumping shit on the moon is a good idea at all.

I guess we’re used to dealing with non-hierarchical data in real life. I have a shelf of books, some list of movies, and a stack of documents.

Popular platforms are already prioritizing “recommended” views (as opposed to nested or hierarchical lists). With ai assistants and vr becoming more popular, I could see graph UIs following too.
When I'm out walking (neighborhood, no sidewalks) I wish drivers would drive the speed limit and get by me faster.

The problem drivers slow down on approach and then slow down some more - for no meaningfully useful reason at all. They turned a brief, predictable event into a longer and now unpredictable one.

At night, the worst of them decide to blaze the landscape with super high-beams; their pointless slowness makes that experience last as long as possible.

I feel much safer around 8 seconds of competent driving than I do with 40 seconds of behavior that easily passes for creepy hostility.
Graphs work really well for displaying relational data if you can get labels on all (or most) of the arrows and you can zoom in / change perspectives to see different relations between the same nodes.

Graphs with unlabeled arrows can still be useful, but not without someone there walking you through what the arrows mean. Otherwise, when embedded in an article, they're not much more than stock imagery.
