Do you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38827758? "Isn't going to be reasoned with" is maybe not the best wording; "isn't likely to be persuaded" might be a better way to put that. But I don't think it was really a personal attack. I can see how it could feel that way in the context of an intense conflict like this one, but from an outside perspective I think it's a stretch to say that the comment "is calling me unreasonable". Moreover the intention was clearly trying to dampen the flamewar, which is a good thing.

Here's a point I've often tried to communicate in situations like this, which I'll repeat here in case it's helpful—but please understand that I'm not talking about you personally; as far as I can tell we all have this bias...

There's a common pattern where people underestimate the provocation in their own comments by (say) 10x and overestimate the provocation in the other person's comments by another 10x. Put those together and you get a 100x distortion in self/other perception. That's a lot of distortion. It's basically "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear". In my experience it's helpful to remember this and try to consciously correct for the distortion. Even if you bend over backwards to do that, you probably won't compensate for the entire 100x but you'll at least be less likely to misgauge the impact of your posts and thereby produce unintentional negative effects. Not that any of this is easy, but it's something we should all be aware of and working on.

I've been using Logseq. My notes are quite disorganized - I often just dump some thought or link in there. If I care enough I tag it to make it easily findable. Many notes I take are never revisited, but that's okay. I feel like Logseq works with the chaos - when I don't care about a note it lets it get lots, but when I really need to find something I usually can. Its extensibility satisfies my occasional burst of "productivity procrastination", where I can sit and fiddle with different plugins or write my own until I get bored.

Happy New Year: GPT in 500 Lines of SQL
In the latter part of the book that covers PINNs and other PDE methods, it helps to frame these using the same kind of functional analysis that is used to develop more traditional numerical methods. In this case, it provides a way for practitioners to verify the physical consistency between the various methods.
About to say this as well, but would like to add. When I have a bug dealing with Foo in Bar, seeing a commit message like “Updated Foo to support Baz\nSee issue #123 for additional context. Also discussed in chat (link).” When looking for a recent bug, I’m going to review that commit immediately without having to do any bisecting/blaming. Easy peasy.

Mostly though, I tend to see just “support baz” as a commit message, which drives me bonkers.
Agree with this, from personal experience. The conventional idea of “boredom” doesn’t fit well, because we have everything we need and love already in our head, which makes leaving it painful and staring at a wall for hours a great time. Incidentally my “bad boss” was my father, who had two emotions; Preoccupied and angry.

This is further complicated by things like demand avoidance, ADHD, burnout (autistic people may have difficulty even recognizing that they are chronically stressed and anxious to the point of shutdown, until they just crash completely) or other executive function related pathologies, of which there are likely multiple involved if there is a noticeable problem.
I've done similar things, I think most people working long enough have. I've made it a point in teams I've run to reassure the junior staff with tales of how all the seniors have made egregious mistakes and survived to tell the tale.

There's a part of one of the Netflix DevOps books about how only the really senior, really important staff screw up the most. It generally takes access, ability, and doing challenging things that the most senior and impactful staff are trying to accomplish to end up in a position where a mistake will cause big damage. That said, yes, teams should also build and deploy resilient systems with well practiced back-ups and restores, and make that common place enough that everyone can restore quickly.

I think in my case the closest to this was a very similar case - fixing a customer record in the customer DB. I'd written the sql quickly, was in a GUI SQL client, and far too fast selected the query from the many I was working on, and hit the shortcut to run it. Then realized a split second later I'd mis-selected just the UPDATE and SET statements, and missed the WHERE. Every customer was name called John Smith. Whoops.

I know he called out that he's in a start-up, but in my case I was at a big financial. The other lesson I learnt is to make very good friends with the infra teams, and have sufficient mutual respect and support that you (as front-office) do as they ask, and go out of your way to help with whatever projects they have (eg. upgrades, patching, migrations), and at the same time, don't bother them will silly questions, and in return be clear that when you do need something and say it's urgent, that it's genuinely urgent and needs immediate attention so that DB restores get handled ASAP. Be a great customer to them, and they'll be great service providers back.
I think your case is overly simplistic. My response was pointing out that quoting basic statistics is not going to explain anything, and diving beyond the surface will reveal complications. Move on to 'violent crime caused by drug prohibition' to see yet another aspect of this. I am not making any argument beyond this.

> It's pretty trivial to range extend a gas vehicle within reasonable limits. Gas cans...

gas cans!? the way we generally range extend a gas vehicle is to pull into a gas station and a couple minutes later you're on your way again.

For electrics, gas cans would be additional heavy batteries, while filling stations have the longer refill time, which can fit your schedule (recharge while at work) or not (stop to recharge every few hours on a long drive).

(please don't all start telling me about quick charging and a list of neat things to do while you wait and how the mindfulness is overall better. I'm just making a comment about available means to extend the range of a car)

in the transition phase (horse to car), a farmer with a model T could use a horse and buggy to bring a gas can to a stalled car. Would have to tow the battery car to where there is electricity and a rectifier. Look up "rural electrification program" to see how little electricity there was in the hinterlands at that time.
Yeah my external HDD has a blue LED that's so ridiculously bright it lights up the whole room and puts a really bright blue spot on the other side of the room.

I tried covering it with a post it (several layers) and after a month I noticed that the yellow colour had whitened completely where the LED is. Probably contains an unhealthy level of UV as well. Yuck.

I tried opening it up to replace the LED but it's clipped somehow. Very hard to open without damaging it.
I may sound like a broken record but copyright needs reform.

It does not fulfill its purpose and DMCA is just one symptom of many other issues that stem from the steaming pile of garbage that is copyright in the 21st century.

It's true Canion got fired by the board of Compaq, but before that he ran the company such that it was the fastest to a billion in revenue in history.

Nobody wants to remember the boring business IBM compatible market but not only did Compaq make the first 386 (redefining what a PC was) they also got the other manufacturers to rally around things like the EISA bus which abruptly stopped IBM's dominance of the PC standard and made a truly open market that not only swallowed PCs, but took the minicomputer industry out at as well and everything you have on your desktop and server room is still rooted in those seminal Compaq products.

It was Eckhard Pfieffer who eventually screwed the pooch and put Compaq into HPs grasp. If Canion had been allowed to flesh out his strategy for lower cost PCs that might never have happened.

Apple was always a 10% of the market sideshow until they made the iPhone.
I think when it comes to electric vehicles. The big issue was the batteries. It's a hard problem. Probably too hard for the science and technology 100 years ago. It's one hard problem after another. I worked with some lithium primary cells in the mid 80's. They were amazeballs and terrifying. They had an internal 4 amp fuse for safety.

But solar, I think we really under invested. My semi-trollish comment is if we invested as much in solar as we did for nuclear we'd be 30 years ahead. Trollish because it upsets people with an emotional attachment to nuclear. But it's also flat out true. The technology was rapidly developed in the 50's and 60's but no one spent the money to mass manufacture them until early 2000's.
In a win for the climate (and safety), urban US speed limits are dropping
I recently started playing padel. Much easier to start and more satisfying than tennis. It's a very sociable HIIT workout. Matches are organised on an app Playtomic and the court is only confirmed once all 4 players pay. I find it hard to play tennis as there is no Tinder-like match system for it. I've seen my skills improve from hand-eye coordination, reading trajectory and rebound.

I also tap dance. It's a very technical and movement-dense dance where different combinations of steps are put together and can be in different styles by varying the rhythm and body movements.

Sailing is my new passion. Dinghy mainly and also some yachting. Dinghy racing combines adventure, a thrilling workout (pulling the trailer and the core workout of hiking) and STEM split-second decisions in a race like computing a self-driving car. Also great for mental health and like a support group as through yachting I've met career changers who are running away from depression.

Ask HN: Why diverse amount of monitoring and observability tools?
Can't there be one tool which can collect metrics and logs, parse it and use it for visualization under one hood.

I am writing after experience I had with setting up trio of OpenTelemetry , Prometheus and Grafana.
They're connected, of course: regulation favours incumbents, big players who can afford the cost and headache of compliance. Small players and startups are slowly pushed out, they never grow to become strong, competition thins out and then people complain and wonder where are the little guys and ask for more regulation against the big hypermarkets to solve the problem regulation created in the first place.

The mind boggles.
I’m the op, and 29 years ago today I went online. Netscape Navigator 1.0 was the tool I loved back then, it’s great to still see it around as a piece in the museum.

Thankfully, there are still ways to run it nowadays, but virtually no websites keep working with it. Still brings back good memories.
Oh I should sit and watch that. Yes I was there and helped a lot. Jwz was a friend at the time (although I later became too uncool for him). The launch party for Mozilla was awesome.
I'm not sure there is a fee which is both large enough it significantly deters bad claims while also being small enough to be different than saying nobody can afford to defend their works on the internet via DMCA given the scale. Even if you have 90% accuracy in claims if you have to put out 10,000 claims in a year that's 1 million you have to escrow with the expected loss of 100,000 despite rarely being wrong. And you may well need to do significantly more than 10,000 claims per year given the number of sites and users uploading and re-sharing content. If it were just a token value of 1 dollar or something then you're back to the largest corporations being able to file a million bogus complaints as the cost of doing business.

Absent a balanced number this would ultimately turn into another debate about the place of the DMCA itself.
Arguably, not falling means you're limiting your progress by not pushing yourself enough. Most likely, not falling means you're a worse skier.
This is in Tensorflow.
Would rather see a numpy version or something along those lines so that students can better understand what each step looks like in code.

I concur on the comments noting lack of explanation for the notation/lemmas/proof.
Nail polish works just about everywhere too, lasts for years (unlike electrical tape, which is excellent temporarily), and is trivial to find. It can take a couple layers, but if you just want to dim it that can be a good thing.

(edit: though I have no idea if it'll let infrared through like this post covers. I luckily haven't had any devices sharing IR windows like that)
It certainly does not apply to everybody. But it's also not limited to extroverts. A psychologist shocked me a few years ago by calling me "an introverted people person." That sounded like an oxymoron to me, but it turned out to be quite accurate. It turns out introversion is not a simple binary thing.

Coming to understand that helped me figure out how to structure my social interactions in a much healthier way. In my case, that meant one-on-one interactions, not group settings. And I was lucky to have a number of wonderful people who were happy to have such interactions with me. So much of my joy comes from those interactions. I tested this by having dinner with three of them together at one point - they all loved it, and I was riddled with stress!
Apparently it was human error. The poor customer service rep just didn't know about the policy that should have let them help despite the expired subscription. I.e. the headline is massively exaggerating the story.
Oh sure. I say the same to my students.

But the particular spin on this book makes it look to non-experts that this is the math you need to do something useful with deep learning. And that's just not true.

Certainly you need to understand what you're optimizing, how your optimizer works, what your objective function is doing, etc. But the vast majority of people don't need to know about theoretical approximation results for problems that they will never actually encounter in real life, etc. For example, I have never used used anything like "6.1.3 Lyapunov-type stability for GD optimization" in a decade of ML research. I'm sure people do! But not on the kinds of problems I work on.

Just look at the comments here. People are complaining about the lack of context, but this is fine for the audience the book is aimed at. It's just the average HN reader.

I think it would be better if the authors chose a different title. As it stands, non-experts will be attracted and then be put off, and experts will think the book is likely to be too generic.
Regular bad/ignored helpdesk process at a major corporation. In this case the helpdesk failed to understand the urgency and nature of the situation.

"Volkswagen has a procedure in place with a third-party provider for Car-Net Support Services involving emergency requests from law enforcement. They have executed this process successfully in previous incidents. Unfortunately, in this instance, there was a serious breach of the process. We are addressing the situation with the parties involved"

After reading The Castle, I'm unimpressed.
Funny, I imagine you're pretty young?

For us oldies red is just the normal LED colour since in the 80s this was the only colour that was available. Our alarm clocks, microwave displays, indicator lights and even some watches and calculators used red LEDs :)
The MagSafe cable still has an LED in it, it's green when you're fully charged and orange when it's charging.

But I agree, Apple is good about not annoying you with LEDs.
I would like the same thing for international domain dispute process.

I believe currently it's a $1000 non-refundable fee to submit a domain claim, e.g. you believe someone else acquired a domain knowing you owned the copyright, and then try to take it from you without having to buy it from you - whether it is or isn't for sale.

$1000 cost + cost of whatever a bad-unethical lawyer charges to try to steal a domain doesn't cover the costs of time spent of the person you're falsely accusing - regardless if they hired a lawyer to get a proper legal defense - making their unrecoverable costs even higher - a claim submitted with no evidence, stuffed with repeated non-sense garbage that should have automatically been denied.

If I wasn't dealing with other shit then I would have filed a complaint against the lawyer in the European country who initiated the wrongful claim-attack-theft attempt.
To get through education, I had to set a lot of fake deadlines to get the panic monster to kick in sooner: "oh no, I need to have the first 1,000 words written by today but I don't!" It works but it makes you miserable because you are always in panic mode.
True, but it’s easy to imagine (to me!) an alternative past with battery replacement chariots etc.
There is something very magical about these micro frameworks for solo hobby projects. You can craft your small project vs just glue the solution somehow together.

Just today I was working on my ESP32 MicroPython project, and I used Microdot for the first time (together with picocss and htmx). The documentation was sparse in places, but the source code was so niceley commented and easy to navigate that I figured everything out.
For desoldering without hot air, "chip quik" products are excellent. They make low melting point solder (like 60C). Add some to each pad of the led, and they will stay liquid long enough to remove the led with tweezers.
I don't have much experience with soldering, but would it be possible to buy a device that uses this chip and take it out/re-use? E.g. this listing in my area: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/atq/d/san-jose-tasmota-smar...
My first and ongoing thought is that immoral/criminal uses of voice cloning vastly exceed any legitimate ones.
There was a time when industry did not know how to produce blue or white LEDs, only red, orange, yellow and green ones, so you see, red, orange, yellow or green LEDs are old tech, and consequently not suitable for our magnificent product.
Yes but not the deep intense blue from most standby LEDs.

You can't rely on colors to indicate status because someone might be colorblind. That's an often overlooked problem. You have to make the light do something special, like blink, if you really need it to indicate something important.
An interesting proposal
The 10 most intriguing science breakthroughs over the past year
The interesting implication of this particular interpretation to me is not that God has a PC but that everything running on God's PC has exactly the same PC (because it can also manipulate mass falling into a black hole).

I feel like the author doesn't really need to introduce the concept of black hole computation to draw an equivalence between simulation theory and interacting with reality to achieve an intended state, though.

In a sense any time you manipulate reality you are simulating a new reality in a computational subset of your prior reality, with similar implications whether or not any part of the computation falls into a black hole or involves digital logic.

I think at least some part of simulation theory must be true because it is trivially equivalent to having consequences in reality, and black hole computation as described would just be a limiting case where the mass-energy is potentially fully occupied by a single computation approaching infinite space and time complexity.
I've always loved the animating navigation icon... gave you a sense of exploring unknown territory.
People would also put less time and effort into creating learning materials. If someone wants to create freely accessible learning materials, they can do so today. And some do!
The site is full of good information, but I agree it feels too search-engine optimized. It's not well structured for a large portion of the target audience (ADD/ADHD people). Articles are too wordy, there are no article or section summaries, and the number of internal links does not help people focus on the article they read.
I see that you use public domain images for books - do artists also contribute work from scratch (with an appropriate release)?
Thanks for posting this! I am not planning any new projects but this is a cool example of implementing a micro-framework in Python. Might just use it as a reference to build my own.

As a side note, I noticed you have Flask tutorials, it could be interesting to make a tutorial on writing a framework from scratch using Microdot as a production ready example.
It's not that drastic of a change if you tune in a phase in/out of other taxes properly.

I would make the case for Christmas in our culture because almost everything shuts down on that day so the trouble of “Who is on call on day X?” is minimized.
