Jupyter notebook is indeed very important. It mainly provides data scientists with two things: a literate programming environment (mixing text, code and outputs) and a way to hold state of data in memory (so that you can perform computation interactively).

As a different take to literate programming we have created a library and an ecosystem around it: https://github.com/pietroppeter/nimib

For holding state a Nim repl (which is on the roadmap as secondary priority after completing incremental compilation) is definitely an option.

Another option could be to create a library framework for caching (or be able to serialize and deserialize quickly) large data and objects. One way to see it, could be to build something similar to streamlit cache (streamlit indeed provides great interactivity)
They hunt for true fraud and they make their living off of being right often enough that their reports move the market.

If they weren't right often enough they would be ignored so they are incentivised to only publish when they think the odds are in their favor.

Ultimately they do good for the market, it sucks to be the people that invested before the reports land but chances are they protect more investors by outing fraud as soon as possible before it can get larger.
Those mostly seem like imagined problems. They're trivially addressed - as evidenced by having hall monitors confidently deployed from one generation of school administration to the next.

Additionally, they outright lied about things like their reserves. The website had what claimed to be a real time ticker showing the reserve level that was actually a weighted random number. SBF claimed that he fell victim to poor risk management, but the more investigators dug in, the more evidence they found that there was organized corruption.
I'm super interested to know how they collected all this evidence. Also what a stupid thing to do, I understand what drives people to leak info but the risk is massive, especially working for a company like Apple.

I'll defer to Occam's Razor and say that the Mail probably has a machine that's a bit buggy or imperfect.

The US Postal Service processed 116 billion parcels in 2023[1]. If they had counterfeit stamp detectors that gave false positives 0.0001% of the time, that's still 116,000 bogus fines per year. And the engineers might have no way to reproduce the glitch, because it's so improbable.

You have an extremely stubborn, single-minded response to this subject, as evidenced by your posting history. I don't expect this will budge -- but someone ought to outright say it:

The painful truth for you may be that medication is what would help you.

The testimony of people with your same condition is overwhelmingly "this medication helps me", if you refuse outright to ever try it then you are wilfully opting into struggling and suffering. It does not seem like anything you've tried so far has worked.

The ultimate irony in this comment thread is listening to someone say "I tried so many things for years and years, but eventually medication helped" and you skip right over what worked because you want to try the list of things that failed.

That's arguably still a backdoor, no?

At least I'd call an instant messenger that which claims to provide end-to-end encryption between conversation participants and then surreptitiously inserts itself as another participant.

However, something very active like that would be much easier to detect and prove than a "true" cryptographic backdoor that could possibly be explained away as an oversight in design or auditing.

I think we do have too little leeway for illnesses for school, but I don't think that's what is going on, at least anecdotally around me. Many parents take their kids out of school for week long vacations, for instance. Also, my son informed me that the day before a big break only half the kids will show up. Plus kids will often just leave because they feel like going home that day. I thought he was exaggerating, but when I drive by the high school he's in, I'll often see a few kids just walking home (or wherever).
I’d say most of them have and these substances prove nothing close to what you’re suggesting. Yes they hint that the whole universe, at least our ideas of it, being an illusion made up by your brain. This isn’t consciousness though, your awareness remains the same it is simply your perception that is changed by mind altering drugs and none of these philosophers would argue your perception isn’t a product of the body.

Awareness != perception. A lot of people itt are mixing up consciousness, experience, with brain activity like trains of thought or external perception. Try meditating for a bit and you see that these are not what you are, you are not your thoughts.

Yeah I don't think Docker is the type of tool the typical engineer cares enough about to go out of their way to learn something new, no matter how much better or simpler it may be. I guess it's like git; even though most devs only have a surface level knowledge, dethroning it would require convincing people to learn a new system, and that's not gonna happen no matter how good it is.

Red Hat at least had the muscle to force podman onto some people, but not everyone.

Some facts to consider:

- Polynomial problems can still require enormous computing power to the point they are unsolvable. Even if tomorrow there is an algorithm transforming every NP problem to a P problem, not all problems will be feasibly solvable. A O(n^100) Problem is still P.

- P vs. NP is about algorithmic complexity, it has no implications about mathematics being an algorithm or not.

- The most likely outcome is that P and NP are different, in which case there are zero implications on computational efficiency.

- Considering mathematical statements as algorithms has happened for a long time. Any outcome of P vs. NP has limited implications on the philosophy behind it. It just might make it somewhat better.

You just don't understand what P vs. NP is about, your posts are bizarre in the actual context of the problem statement. The implications on mathematics just aren't what you think they are.
I mean, you are their parent, if you believe that your kids don't have enough work to do, give them more work to do? why would that need to be handled through homework? the purpose of homework is to serve as a teaching aid to help students internalize and memorize the lessons given. If your kid is an honors student it sounds like he has learned what he needs to learn, why give them more homework?

There is studied pricing data available. For example, Fair, an organization working against surprise bills, tells us average pricing by charge code. Before insurance, basic transport averages under a thousand. Mileage and cost of living accounts for the variation.

People with huge bills before insurance are either receiving advanced care (like my infant daughter) or being transported long distances.

CMS has negotiated average basic transport down to a few hundred. I’d like to see this proliferated. Dispatching keeps ambulances from refusing service in the way CMS pricing dries up proactive care availability.

Certainly share your pain dealing with medical bills and receiving them after they’re overdue. I’m good at it but I know most aren’t, and they come at an overwhelming time. Also, many ambulance companies use crappy overbooked billing call centers so it’s hard to talk to someone. Reforming medical communication is part of the whole solution.
Last time I used MySQL I had some delete triggers to clean up some stuff.

Apparently MySQL does not run delete triggers in case the rows are deleted due to a foreign key cascade.

Eveytime I used its slightly advanced features, I ran into such problems. With PostgreSQL I do not need to think if this would work.

A friend at another school knew a guy who came to school with a stomach bug and puked several times throughout the day as they had a perfect attendance incentive worth a percentage of your grade, so to ensure he got his grades, he walked around puking for the day.

At the time people praised his dedication.
Correct. It's really understanding that people are fundamentally different and span the spectrum. E.g. To some people feelings matter more than truth, to others it's sorta reversed, and all spectrums in between. Most importantly, you need to understand yourself and how you tend to come across. We all have things we find easy to do (gives us energy) and things that drain us. And its different for everybody.

Reposting what I wrote over the years

[1] ( 11 months ago ) It was only about a year or so AWS was expanding as fast as they could. Bringing up new Datacenter per week. Getting Graviton 2 Wafer from TSMC whenever extra capacity are available on top of their orders. And they dont see any end of expansion in sight. Now it seems all the demand are suddenly gone.

[2] ( ~ 2 years ago )

>Amazon said Thursday that revenue growth in its cloud-computing unit slowed in the third quarter to 27.5%.

27.5%. It is lower that their previous 33% over the past few years, but at the current size of AWS growing 27.5% is still ridiculously good. To put this in perspective, if AWS continues to grow at 33% in 2022 and 2023. Then the whole 2023 33% growth alone, would equal to the size of the entire AWS in 2018. It is not the first time Amazon said they are limited by how fast they are building out Datacenter and getting hardware resources ready.

It will be interesting to see further details given out in AWS re:Invent 2022. Especially on Graviton roadmap.

It is interesting we have a huge increase in compute density in the past 2 years and upcoming 3-5 years. Where a single socket CPU could have 160 Core 320 Thread. and more. Retrofitting older DC with these type of density will simply increase AWS total compute by 2-3x minimum. At the scale of current AWS. Continue to spend money building DC is pretty impressive in my book.

Ask HN: Projects You Thought Were Cool but Failed Miserably – What Happened?
Hey HN community,

I'm here to spark a discussion on a topic that, I believe, many of us have encountered but might not often talk about: projects that we were excited about and believed in, but that ended up failing miserably after release.

To kick things off, I want to share my own experience with a project called interfAIce. It's a Java/Kotlin library that allows developers to access Large Language Models (LLMs) by defining interfaces. The library automatically generates proxies that query the OpenAI API and formats the results into the defined return type data. I thought it was super cool at the time of development.

Despite my enthusiasm, my library never gained the attention I hoped for after its release. Reflecting on it, I believe the primary reason might be the mismatch between the technology stacks used by Java/Kotlin developers, who are mostly in server/mobile development, and AI developers, who predominantly use Python or C++. Of course, this could just be one of many reasons it didn't succeed.

This experience left me pondering, and I'm curious to hear from you all: What projects have you worked on that seemed promising or even groundbreaking during the development phase but didn't succeed in the market or with users for one reason or another? What was the project about, what made it seem promising initially, and ultimately, what led to its downfall?

More importantly, what do you think were the reasons for the failure? Was it a matter of timing, market fit, execution, or perhaps something else entirely? How did this experience influence your approach to future projects?

I believe that by sharing these stories and the reasons behind the failures, we can provide valuable insights and lessons for all of us, especially for those in the software engineering and development fields. It's a chance to reflect on the unpredictable nature of tech projects and the importance of resilience in our industry.

Looking forward to hearing your stories and learning from your experiences!
One can argue a lot of things, and that's what we're doing here.

There aren't hard data obviously, but some factors to consider:

1. If you go off on your own and never really produce anything visible, it might not back up your claim that you were working.

2. Leaving the "game" during a soft time in hiring might be interpreted as you were probably laid off and then have been unemployed for a couple years, "working on your own thing". I remember seeing this in 2002-3 for people who became entrepreneurs in 2001.

3. Are you on a career trajectory? If so, leaving it will mean you will be on a different trajectory if/when you come back. It could be steeper, start higher, or be flatter, and start lower. If you went away in 1998 for 5 years, leaving a job at $60,000, and came back in 2004 you would be on a trajectory to be making hundreds of thousands. If you went away 5 years ago and are trying to get hired now, you've left a large amount on the table and might not find that job right away. But it's like the market, you can't predict the timing.

Before you jump off, test out your idea with people you will be selling it to. If you don't know any, that's a bad sign, go meet some. If you're afraid to meet them, you won't succeed. Think about how you'll bring the idea to market or find a cofounder who believes in you who can. If your early customers want to invest in you, that may be a very good sign.

Can confirm, my parents grew up starving in the ashes of WW2. My mother hid canned food under her bed, in her closets, everywhere for all of her life. It always annoyed me and when I'd ask her about it she always answered the same, "I hope you never know what it's like to starve".
>but stories are about defining a context and a progression from that context to a more advanced state.

Exactly. Starting a story 80% in makes it nonsensical. If your engineering docs are nonsensical if you open them at 80% you have failed as a technical writer.

>most of the time you want to know in which context the technology has been developed and which problems it can solve.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Imagine your dish washer manual going over the history of dish washers interspersed with comments about how it functions. That would be insane, useless and unreasonable.
It’s less automation and more about cheap labor. Content farms sprung up and flooded the landscape with worthless content to get a micro-slice of the pie.

Very discouraging to many content creators when their work is just going to be buried in SEO chaff.

Also, the automation wave is just beginning. Soon the human run content farms will be overwhelmed by AI created crap.

This is likely to happen in software as well. Every product will need to compete with some AI generated piece of garbage that’s barely passable functionally, but being sold at a fraction of the cost.

Microsoft announced on the same day as the Redis license change that Azure's managed Redis offering will continue to run against the latest releases: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/redis-license-update-...

Meaning that Microsoft is "paying to play" with Redis Ltd... while I have not seen any announcements from AWS or GCP.
Inflammatory and factually false article, should be flagged:

> For those of you who aren't open-source licensing experts, this means developers can no longer use Redis' code. Sure, they can look at it, but they can't export, borrow from, or touch it.
