Thanks! I don't actually assume that the person is being nefarious, but I think it is also important to make sure that they understand these things. Especially if we're talking about scams.

Scams take advantage of what is normalized, it is how they fly under the radar and bypass people's bullshit detectors. It's why a safety vest, hardhat, and a clipboard is the most covert disguise around. So one of the best ways to prevent scams is to normalize behavior that is harder to take advantage of! (same reason people fall for fake voice scams, because we're so used to distortion in calls anyways. A glitch poor voice can be difficult to distinguish from poor cell reception)

As for the filesizes, I assume it is just the websites reporting incorrectly. Pixeldrain reports 188 MB compressed and 510 MB uncompressed. Mega reports 179.r MB. Pixeldrain at least shows all the files, which look to not have been cleaned up since they have things like .DS_Store. But at least the files are individually downloadable.
I’m not happy about this but my silver linings are:

1) At least Ellison doesn’t end up with it

2) Consul should tend to bring down the aggregate complexity of IBM solutions just a little bit.

Yes, because my weight—or visible body fat, anyway—has fluctuated over my entire life, including then and now, depending on how much exercise I get.
They don't care about Alphabet/Google at all. They've fully moved on.

Even if Alphabet lost all its market value tomorrow, they've already cashed out enough of their stock to have thousands of lifetimes of money.
> For some reason, Americans are “told” to get 4x leveraged to the real estate market but to pay for their equities with 100% cash.

Your mortgage is fixed for 15-30 years (depending on mortgage product), and your real estate cannot be margin called (unlike securities which are constantly fluctuating in price).

Edit: Over leveraging on margin to buy equities? Not great. Borrowing against real estate equity to invest in equities, with rent comfortably covering the debt servicing? Potentially not as bad. TLDR Manage your risk exposure appropriately.

I'm really into AI stuff but both the AI Pin and Rabbit R1 underwhelm. They are products that don't need to exist if the problem they're solving was truly solvable right now, because the best place for that problem to be solved is already in our hands: our phones. But we're not all talking to AI assistants in our phones all day. Why? Because the technology isn't good enough to do it yet? Because people don't want to talk to digital assistants? Once the tech is good enough that it can motivate ordinary people to look silly talking to their phones outloud, it'll be on our phones and easy to use, and there will be no need for kitschy little handheld devices. No one wants to carry around another device.

That said, smart glasses sound like a great idea to me, but I wear glasses all ay long, so I am extremely biased. I don't think most people want to voluntarily wear glasses to just put a computer on their face, so I wouldn't bet on glasses, either. Sorry, Zuck.
It doesn't look like you could hit disk surface at that speed with MFM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST506/ST412 and the ISA bus was right around there. Removable disk was like 1/100th that speed and you'd fill up a consumer hard disk in less than a minute at that rate.

Here in Canada, there was a trend for the 'Couch Potato Portfolio' with the arrival of popular ETFs that used these splits between equities and bonds and then just rebalancing once a year. The key point was really using entire index ETFs with low MER fees on auto, with the bonds portion as the stability. 'All in' ETFs have sort of replace that.
Good.

From a foundational perspective, it is also important to note that this proof is one of equiconsistency between NF and the Lean kernel, which itself is handchecked. Mechanized theorem provers preserve that level of correctness imputed to them via outside injection, from humans or other out-of-band systems.

Wouldn’t it be more economically and fiscally efficient to…pay people after retirement by printing money on demand?

Aramaic: The Bible's Third Language
Because if your house goes underwater, you keep living in it for years until it recovers and grows. With leverage on equity you get margin called during drops that kill your investment and give you no capture of future recoveries.
Yup. You cant get margin called on a mortgage, but theres clearly an optimal S&P leverage ratio, and its far above 1. Wild how repulsed americans are by this, when they really could retire much younger
I'm exactly the target audience for this type of tool, a tech leader that has implemented a data warehouse and BI strategy. Some concrete tips for adoption:

- Break the dependency on your product. I need to be able to use the library even if your company goes under.

- Add a dbt library that makes it easy to use hashquery within dbt models. It gets you materialization for free and will answer a lot of questions you will get about dbt integration.

To comment more broadly, if you want to be a broad solution, the going trend in data integration seems to be at the warehouse level so you need to have SQL answers.

A bunch of tools all consume from our warehouse (existing BI, reverse ETL, data science systems). A BI definition tool won't work if I can't define segments in a way that all of those can access, even as just tables or views.

Our programmers and data science people know Python and are often very good at SQL, but their time is short and BI projects depending on them have been delayed. Our analysts know SQL, and have the dedicated time to make these projects happen.

This kind of code snippet isn't crazy to put into dbt, and if someone wants to do Python magic in the background they can:

Ask HN: Where can I find the latest info for essay ranking, spam filtering?
I used to do a lot of work with spam filtering. I once worked at a company that had set up hundreds of marketing websites, all of which were the start of a sales funnel that fed into Marketo and then into LeadSpace and then in Salesforce. A good response from potential customers looked like this:

"I am interested in the pricing for MaxaMegaAI. Do you have a free tier for a startup with less than 10 developers?"

or:

"Can your ETL tool handle different systems for geospatial calculations?"

Bad responses looked like:

"None"

or:

"Damn"

Or:

"sdefedflkjlkjsdfsdlkfjlskdfj"

I wrote simply machine learning scripts to automate some of our spam filtering.

I have the impression this has come a long way?

I think this category of machine learning is sometimes called "essay ranking."

I've been away from this kind of work for 7 years. I assume nowadays, with LLMs, there might be some advanced techniques that can be easily implemented?

Can someone point me towards a good resource?

That I've heard, this strategy has been well-known (and occasionally used) for at least a few decades. It only works in fairly-rare circumstances, it's a huge effort to run, and you gotta put a whole lotta $millions at risk to use it. The house (state lottery system) wins big regardless, and both tiny errors and bad luck can stick you with a multi-$million loss.

Points of Texas state law and publicly perceived "lottery fairness" aside, I don't see any real problem here.

Zip is just a tarball that Windows understands.
They very clearly explain why this matters in the "Why should I care?" section. Partially quoting them:

> Harry Potter is an innocent example, but this problem is far more costly when it comes to higher value use-cases. For example, we analyze insurance policies. They’re 70-120 pages long, very dense and expect the reader to create logical links between information spread across pages (say, a sentence each on pages 5 and 95). So, answering a question like “what is my fire damage coverage?” means you have to read: Page 2 (the premium), Page 3 (the deductible and limit), Page 78 (the fire damage exclusions), Page 94 (the legal definition of “fire damage”).

It's not at all obvious how you could write code to do that for you. Solving the "Harry Potter Problem" as stated seems like a natural prerequisite for doing this much more high stakes (and harder to benchmark) task, even if there are "better" ways of solving the Harry Potter problem.

You haven't seen a weird file format until you've dealt with one of other embroidery formats, .dst. It's literally converted from an old paper tape format so it's like 21 bits per row, each bit indicates part of the length of the stitch so a 1 in place 0 means 1mm, place 1 means 3mm, then 9mm, -1, etc. The original format was holes in the tape and they just kept that idea for the past decades. You add all the 1s to see how long the stitch is. I had to write a converter in Go as my first Go project to integrate into a larger project and it was a trip.
> higher intensity cardio can increase your appetite

True.

> Low intensity cardio like walking doesn't have the same effect.

That's short-term thinking though. Long term, higher intensity cardio builds muscle and endurance. The more strenuously you exercise now, the more strenuously you'll be able to exercise in the future. If you're not pushing yourself, then you'll remain stuck at the lower level forever. The extra calories now are an investment in your future body.
The problem, I think, is that a layperson is unaccustomed to systems like computer programs and DNA where 99% precision is laughably insufficient to specify the behavior.

If you baked some cookies and you adjusted the amount of any one ingredient by 1%... I'm not sure the average American cook has the measurement equipment to notice. With a good scale you might be able to tell. Built a shed and adjusted the measurements by 1%? It's still going to stand up just fine. Wrote an email and swapped 1 in 100 words? They might not seven notice a difference.

If you took out only the 1% that was the baking soda, or the 1% that is the nails in the rafters, or finished your email with "Screw that!" yeah, that might be hugely different...but that's exactly the kind of precision edits to critical details that computer programs and DNA require to change user-visible behavior in a huge way.
It was some tiny slip up I didn't even notice, generally we were using disinfection but not as paranoid as first time. Ie catch some rail in the bus and then eat chapati with that hand, or maybe we hit some dhaba/restaurant that didn't have everything freshly cooked. Mental fatigue over time gets you, especially when in challenging environment.

Don't take it as negative comment overall, I can't express with words how much that backpacking experience there meant to me. I came back as different, dare to say a better person but listing reasons would take tons of time.

Love the culture, history, various coexisting religions, common people were always very kind and helpful, and overall intensity, even with few negative aspects. Learning to haggle a bit was very hard but it paid back itself later in life tremendously, ie managed to haggle down 60k $ from the price of apartment we bought from one CFO of major insurance company where I live now. Wouldn't have balls to do it without that experience. But whole list is massive and many things I don't even realize myself and never will.
he's a nutjob on public health issues, but here he mentions very solid facts on government censorship. (before you down vote, most his facts are from judge decisions)

anyone following the common carrier (section 230?) issue, this is old news, with no discussion in public about the change of the status quo happening recently (this talk also miss this point). covid censorship was a gray area on this... but musk treating Twitter like his living room should have blasted the common carrier discussion wide open. yet, nothing.

Neither is having a portfolio take losses you can't tolerate unless you die and someone inherits it (with recovery happening while they're holding it). If the problem is that investors don't have enough cashflow over their working years to assemble a balanced portfolio that will comfortably carry them to death, that is a different issue. Reaching for risky yield is a lottery ticket.

If you maximize equity exposure too high, too long, you will potentially get blown out of the water. Broadly speaking, at some point, gains must be locked in and invested somewhere less risky (assuming your average person investing to retire).

It's well known by bodybuilders and celebrity trainers etc. But basically everyone else you talk to doesn't believe it and thinks exercise is the way to lose weight. There are many conflicting interests: the exercise companies want to keep selling exercise, the food companies want to keep selling food and the consumer is addicted to food and wants an excuse to enable it.

1. I can read it on my phone or in my browser.

2. Why should I have to download text to __read text__?

3. We don't want to normalize unnecessary behavior that is something scammers and bad actors can easily take advantage of.

While I don't believe the leak is nefarious or contains an exploit, normalizing a requirement to download files that can issue exploits -- when there are easy alternatives that make this unnecessary -- just helps create the exact type of environment that scammers thrive in. 3 is incredibly important. If we're going to call out scammers we shouldn't do it in a manner where we're enabling an environment for more scammers to thrive in. Doing what's done here just created a rich opportunity for hackers who can now post a "rabbit source code leak" and just provide people with a different link. Makes for easy picking. Uncompressed and readable code just makes this harder and easier for people to determine if something nefarious is going on.
Part of it is, but the language is also great. It isn't Zealotry. Rust really is that great. Not flawless (async is a big wart), but still fantastic.

I would say that applies much more for Go, where the language is decidedly meh, but the tooling is fantastic. Arguably even better than Rust.

This reply cannot be understated. Those who are strong advocates for highly leveraged equity positions who use real estate to justify either have yet to experience a true market decline, or are simply really green to investing.

If I could leverage 4:1 on the total market index using a fixed 30 year loan without the ability to force a sale I would in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, that’s just not how it works.

And anything claiming to be the solution to that (like a leveraged ETF such as UPRO), suffers from volatility decay that causes it to underperform or eventually go to zero in horizontal markets (e.g. lost decades).

Playing devil's advocate, tech demos are often faked. From the famous "Hello" Mac introduction in 1984[1], to Google with their Gemini demo a few months ago.

I think they are completely different.

I think the way the author calls it "reading in stereo" is a very good picture. It's not a footnote or a liner note that explains the meaning of a word. Those live outside the text. It _is_ the word and it lives within the text. It's the inherent meaning of the characters painted on to another word.
Entropy is probably why.

Also as particles spread out, there's less of a chance of interaction, which by extension makes it so there's less of a chance that a system of electrical impulse that fires in a synapse would exist over large distances. This system, of course, would be the catalyst for producing such thoughts as "I wonder if we're alone in the universe."

That's not to say you can't send dense information over larger distances with a shorter wavelength (re: radiation; gamma rays)... it just means the flying saucers with little green men landing on earth are probably out.
