I made a directory of all the best data science tools
Hey guys, made a directory of the best data science tools to use in categories like ETL, databases/warehouses, visualizations and data manipulation I’m hoping this can be collaborative so feel free so submit projects you use / your own projects. Happy to hear any feedback.
I write fiction from time to time for fun, and I've really enjoyed interacting with ChatGPT as a co-author, either having it write the next few events or playing one of the characters. It's absolutely capable of role-playing different characters (I made it into a sentient toaster once), and frankly is often better than most NPC writing currently in games.

There's a few great games writers out there (IMO Chris Avellone) but most of the time it's just filler. Fiction is arguably one of GPTs' strong suits, especially if the game engine can actually turn accidental hallucinations into in-game realities (like if a NPC mentions something not already in game, generate a proxy and turn it into a quest?)

Really excited about the possibilities for emergent creativity here :)

While I also disagree with the 'memefied' version of the quote, the publishers where first to break the social contract, when they removed stuff from libraries which where 'bought'.

The wording in the stores is 'buy' not 'rent'.

yes they have some clauses in the 20 pages long AGBs, which makes it legally ok, but imho it's still a break of the (social) contract.

So, if I 'buy' product A on platform Z and it gets removed without any money returned and they expect me to 'buy' it again on platform Y, I wouldn't have any issues pirating product A

Or if I bought product B v 3.0 with an unlimited licence and they suddently stop the licence server tell me I can't use B 3.0 anymore but I can get B 5.0 as a subscripton, I'd be mad as hell.

I personally have issues where the publishers suddenly alters the deal afterwards. (and tell you that you should be happy they don't alter it further...)

Here is the study for Massachusetts (saving you several layers of summary articles):

In every category, emergency/provisional licensed median values were lower than licensed teachers, including performance evaluations, although these results didn't reach 95% statistical significance of rejecting the null hypothesis. Even if they didn't reach P < 0.05, when all of the results point in one direction, I am not so sure I would completely agree with the top-level headline as it is stated.

Teachers are paid around the median wage for someone with a college degree. The job neither has a high skill requirement nor difficult work conditions. What is the rationale for paying them more than the typical person with a college degree?
To be fair it is probably a feature needed and wanted by 0.00001% Google users(compared to 90% Kagi users) so it gets prioritized away in PM meetings.

Also uniformity of experience is needed for large scale (trillions of datapoints) A/B optimizations of ad clickthrough rates. So less variabiity is better and this is why Google results look the same for everyone in the world.

In contrast, in Kagi world, user is in the center of it (as they are the ones paying for the product) and the vector Kagi optimizes for is user satisfaction. So users can customize not just what is in their results but also how the results are presented.
It's not that lowercase saves data. It's that normalization saves data. You can normalize to uppercase and get the same effect.

In fact, the argument to use uppercase for normalization is that lowercase does not round trip.

You are assuming ASCII content (or UTF-8 content that happens to only be ASCII). Throw Unicode into the mix and you get problems to deal with.

Separately, after normalization, to decompress the data you are assuming every sentence must be capitalized and anything that appears to be a title or proper name must be title cased. I imagine that for some pages this isn't 100% so after decompression you will probably make have a letter be uppercase where it was originally not. Thus, your technique must be classified as a lossy algorithm.

An absolute that has been shown to be untrue for a litany of reasons time and again, but OK. For many people, yes, you're right, but I would wager you'd be surprised at the number of people trying to claw themselves out of varying circumstances while making that much.

WebXR is pretty amazing. You can make a site with

https://aframe.io/

which can be navigated with a browser on desktop and mobile. Using a VR headset you can give permission and… you’re in the world! It’s like one of those kids TV shows where people can jump into the world of a book.

With WebXR you can make applications that run on Meta Quest, Magic Leap 2, Hololens 2, PCVR and other platforms. It kinda drives me up the wall that so many people are hung up on Apple because AVP competes with quite a few different platforms that are all pretty similar and if this kind of thing catches on you’d better believe people will be porting applications between them…
Luckily for me, I don't feel like my employer has tasked me with working against our users interests. I want them to succeed at the things they're trying to do and I'm working in support of that goal.

But if things were otherwise? Then yes, the users should either walk away or they should circumvent whatever handcuffs I'm hypothetically building for them.

In that scenario, I'd absolutely participate in cutting my employer out of the loop so that I could do less evil work and instead get paid directly by the people who benefit from what I'm working on, and I hope you would too.

> They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection

GenXer here: I'm not comfortable not owning my CD collection. I still either buy CDs, or at least high quality DRM-free digital files that I can archive. Unfortunately, some bands that I really like don't issue CDs in thr US anymore, or sell good quality files, so I've had to buy CDs from outside the US and have them shipped here.

Assessing educator effectiveness is not a solved problem. For instance, the Gates Foundation made a full throated effort to research and develop a quantifiable measure and failed.

You know what got me last time. Ipad offloading my apps.

I hadn't touched my ipad in 4-6 months I only use it on flights and I opened it up and had almost no apps. I might have actually had no apps but the apple apps if thats a thing. I couldn't open ANYTHING. Then I got to the airport for my next flight and was franctically running around hoping to find a guest wifi network..

That's disabled now.

Why would someone waste time judging me at all if such a mass levelling off of useful skill happens? It seems to suggest that in future there will only be ultra-managers and those yet to take the two-day manager course.

It's very wishful thinking to hope all former work achievements as markers for future success go by the wayside. I agree that no one really cares what constitutes "work", only "doneness". And that's why when someone wants a hole in the wall they are not going to judge you by how well you hold a drill in your hand for 5 seconds if better markers exist.

It's still the Knowledge Economy, knowledge that already propels an economy as much as it does because it can't be monopolized like minerals etc. I'd only expect to see more of this heaving force. Humans will always take credit for everything they can (even for not taking credit), so it will still be called "his knowledge" the moment it touches him. The stigma will disappear soon, just like it always does with tech.

Two factors also don't help matters either:

* Most people, which perhaps surprisingly includes most commenters here, don't understand what taxes are levied against or what losses and amortization even are. You can't effectively argue against something you don't understand.

* Of the people who do understand taxes and income/loss sheets, it's only the business owners and accountants who like putting as big a number as possible under losses to reduce net profit and thus taxes owed. The commons rightfully see it as tax avoidance, which unsurprisingly is met with "fuck you".

And another group, presented with the same info shouts from the rooftops "ah this is a change on par with the printing press!" and proceeds to push snake oil until the next trend arrives.

This idea is the same. It reeks of the same senselessness as is present in other discussions of "realism" in games, eg Star Citizen, where it sounds cool and futuristic at first, but doesn't actually do much for the core gameplay besides taking resources away from it. As an example we have Elite Dangerous, which committed suicide by listening to "realism" arguments and poured years of development into adding a bland first person shooter mode instead of improving the core gameplay of flying spaceships (where, in terms of flight model, they are still unmatched).

Ideas like being able to naturally talk to NPCs sound neat and revolutionary at first, but are just a gimmick, since outside of streamers fooling around for the sake of entertaining viewers, who actually cares about holding proper conversations with NPCs instead of just moving on to the next bit of actual gameplay sprinkled throughout the bland "AAA open world shooter with parkour mechanics" of the month?

One of my favorite stories is when then Google CEO Eric Schmidt dismissed peoples' worry about the information Google was collecting by saying, "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

He said this despite complaining about a news site that published information about how much Schmidt makes, his political donations, approximately where he lives, and various other details about his personal life ... all gathered via google searches.

Assassin's Creed player here. The AC series excels at rendering famous places at specific times in history, and then letting you explore them on your own terms. The historical and environmental detail in each (mainline) AC game is amazing.

It's never perfect, of course. But who else is even trying to offer the same experience? *

I also play lots of indie games (shout out to CrossCode, Soma, Signalis, and Tangledeep particularly) and lots of JRPGs and puzzle/detective games. Never bought any Call of Duty (I will admit to renting CoD4 on Wii once).

Sometimes people like things you don't like, and that's OK. You don't need to feel superior about it.

* While the question is intended as rhetorical, I would like to hear of other games in this particular space.
It's really a damn shame that for the past ~10-15 years we can't have evolution in technology (in this case, better engines, fuel economy, etc) without an evolution in enshittification (unwieldy touchscreens for interfaces which go at 3FPS, remote software updates that break your car, cameras with absolutely no real purpose whatsoever other than apparently spying you have sex in the back seat, etc)
It is possible (at least for playstation) to buy single game accounts. Then change the password, play the game and sell the account once you are finished with the game.

I'm clueless on the subject and don't intend to argue the point, but it struck me that the metric that article consistently uses is one that almost guarantees the results: It's not surprising to learn that the categories that have the greatest amount of activity by far are the ones with the most CEQA challenges.

The point would be much stronger if it was made in terms the rate of challenges for varrious project types rather then in terms of frequency of CEQA challenges being that kind of project.

The assumption I'd draw from that, being ignorant of the subject, is that the argument is unsupportable on that more reasonable basis.

I have a family member who was hired as an Emergency teacher over 20 years ago. They've since become fully credentialed, obtained their masters in education, taught masters students, and organized a particular program/subject at the district level.

Speaking with them, their experience has been the core driver of a successful teacher is primarily whether they want to be there and care about the students success.

Of course, when they were first hired they spent all of their free time crafting lessons plans for a subject they basically failed in high school. Studying the textbook and relevant material so they could teach it.

I don’t see why HN acts like you need to buy a 15 year old vehicle to avoid internal cameras. My 2020 Elantra has no internal cameras, and even if it did it doesn’t have a cellular connection - but it does have superior fuel economy and safety to most pre-2000 vehicles. Even on newer Hyundais, while cell connections are ubiquitous on everything except the most base-model vehicles, I don’t believe internal cameras are common (the driver attention system uses steering wheel cues, unlike the Tesla one).

The computer industry is rapidly approaching a performance plateau, i.e. next year's model will soon not be a significant improvement over last year's model, and the planned obsolescence turnover will slow down - such that device lifetimes will become more like automobile lifetimes.

The industry is trying to fight this by making devices difficult or impossible to repair and moving software to a subscription model - because they don't want people spending their time with ten-year-old games running on ten-year-old consoles.
