The disorder is how they affect their social surroundings. Everyone is on the spectrum and the disordered are having social problems.
It’s this kind of stupid biased comment that I hate the most. What logic says that these folks were “poor performers” rather than Microsoft hiring too many people?

Everyone knows that in massive layoffs these companies aren’t competent enough to pick and choose the worst employees, it’s such a bad take.

You’re just perpetuating corpo bullshit and harming the reputations of those who are laid off.

I hope someday you get laid off and everyone thinks you’re a poor performer because of it.

I always found AT&T order much more intuitive to read.
The "what am I doing" and then "where will it go" felt natural to me.

How does saying "Im an introvert" not put yourself into a bucket? Youre quite literally using someone elses made up categorization to define who you are, and people tend to speak of this as an innate and overcompassing trait, and moreover using these made up categorizations as a cause of other behaviors. I dont like making small talk with cashiers at this point in my life" essentially becomes "I am an introvert, so I dont like making small talk with strangers and its is never likely to be my thing".

I am perfectly fine describing myself with the actual details of my experiences. Its much richer and nuanced that way rather than simply saying Im not some way because Im an introvert. What Ive seen is the complete opposite of ehst you are saying. People label themselves as something and believe anything thst doesnt fit the label is not them, out of reach, a monumental step for them to do. Talking to a cashier all of a sudden isnt just muttering some words, its a foundational shift from being introverted to extroverted.

I think all of modern psychology/psychaitry suffers in this way: Making up categorizations with the belief that making things easier to conceptualize and making it easier to associate things is scientific and valuable insight. I think its the opposite. Youre losing precious detail and artificially killing complexity and getting simplified, untrue beliefs.

I dont need these labels to explore "my more extroverted qualities". Having never labeled myself this way, I had no issues being the complete "opposite"
She claims it was cross-contamination. Given that she was already likely gaming the system with the asthma steroid (it's really common in cycling and swimming to do this), I don't believe her when she says there was a contamination.
If you’re using KDB, use KDB. The decision has been made, the license paid.

Work to change your organization, not your technology.

Nuclear bombs used to be controlled by decades old systems that worked off floppy disks. Why? Because the systems were so important people worked around the tech.

You’re in a similar spot.

Even when using conventional languages and platforms, sometimes the decision has been made and you’re stuck with it.

KDB might not be the best fit for a datalake, but plenty of people will sleep better just knowing it’s KDB.

Change the people, not the tech.
Sometimes it's old ears, sometimes it's the people in the room being oblivious to it from hearing it too much. I tell the story a lot about kind of the inverse of this - I was mixing my band's (terrible) recording, and during a weekend of mixing, I heard the squeak from my cheap kick pedal, like an icepick to the brain, piercing through the mix. I did my darnedest to EQ it out, and felt pretty good about it in the end.

On my Monday morning drive to work, I put on a CD by the band Cake, an album I'd listened to dozens, if not hundreds of times at this point, and would you believe that now, piercing through the mix, I heard the squeak of the drummer's kick pedal. Never noticed it before, but because I was so focused on those frequencies for two days straight, now it was all I could hear.

I switched to listening to purely electronic music that month, and I never noticed squeaky kick drums in studio recordings again.

It depends on how badly I need the site and how annoying it's being, but I've found my tolerance for nonsense on websites has been dropping dramatically.

I'll close a window if a site pops up a modal window for email collection when I'm 2 sentences into reading what it had to say. The desperation is not a good look and I'm tired of it.
Frankly this article's complains read childish to me.

Also, the masm syntax is full of weird-o heuristics to account for the fact that you can omit the size of the operands, and I have been hit by that several times. Yes, I prefer writing in masm, but if I had seen at&t syntax first, I am sure I would be a fan of at&t syntax.
Show HN: An AI Agent That Defines Its Own Terminal and Instrumental Goals
Younger than what age? I think every age still generally considers "nerd" derogatory. Also, I think a genius would tell you the trade-offs only exist because most people are wrong. Calling them weird has the connotation that something is "wrong" with them, yet it seems quite the opposite is true. I could agree with the term "outlier" but not "weird".
Aside from not using passwords or using 2FA, sandboxing helps.

A VM with GPU passthrough set up would be one example (although this is usually a pain to set up and I expect most people aren't doing it).

As a more user-friendly example, if you install an iOS app (local-model LLM and image generation apps exist), the sandboxing provided by the OS ought to be more than enough to prevent keyloggers, short of 0day exploits.
I've noticed some FM stations have an odd metallic ringing noise in the background - especially country for some reason. I'm fairly certain it isn't intentional.

Do they get a reward for being "right" in the eyes of the survey company or something? They are being asked how the economy is doing and they are saying fuck this. I'm guessing people have a basic sense that when they answer a media survey they're contributing to the narrative that the media will use, and they want the narrative to be this sucks. It's really not that deep.

As for "sentiment and opinion" it's the basis for democracy. Of course we should give unlimited credence to it when deciding how to organize society, what's the other approach?

I had a prompt saved which would give full sources per sentence of response. It was useful for one purpose then became annoying and time consuming. I was diagnosing hallucinations and training data issues.

Maybe crafting something to give a full APA or MLA citation and works cited page per response could help.

Yeah that sucks. something like:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade package_with_cve
deactivate
) &
done

should do the trick. Sucks that we're in that world, but let's not work any harder than we have to.
The same job title could have very different responsibilities.

If my daddy makes 7 digits per year and set me up in a trust then I don't have to work to live upper middle class. Therefore an "elite" aka prestige only position that pays pennies may be more elite because i don't depend on the pay like the plebians.

It seems like you're saying autistic people are not deeply emotional or socially aware, or capable of understanding social value. This is not what autism is -- it's a developmental disability that leads to impairment in social situations, not an inability to understand society and emotions.
Reminds me of a little quip in a 68000 programming language book I read a long time ago.

Paraphrasing: "Upon executing HALT, the processor will stop, and nothing short of a reset will get it going again. Although threatening it with a hammer has been known to work on occasion, especially if it knows you've killed before."
Getting other people to do research isn't doing research. You're misattributing who does what.
If you want to be nitpicky I suppose you can claim that anecdotes is technically evidence and therefore that statement is incorrect, but in the context of that comment it doesn't change much. We basically have data collected by statisticians at government agencies compared to... people's vibes. As you said yourself "1 good observation can be better than 100 bad observations", so I still think it's a poor argument to claim the professional statistics are wrong, and the only evidence you have is evidence that's worse than the ones you're trying to refute.

Longtime KDB user here
I think you maybe have some misunderstanding personally and some poor engineering at your firm around the the tech/data. Timeseries data particularly market data is exactly the use case the product excels at.

The wire format is compressed.

KDB horizontally scales (even their competitors comparison pages state this - https://www.influxdata.com/comparison/kdb-vs-tsdb/)

A few things to consider that might help - you do not want a solution (in any language/tech) that involves pulling an entire day of market data off disk, across the wire and over to your process for analysis. KDB will not excel for this, nor will anything else. KDB shines when you learn to move your code to the data rather than your data to the code.

What does "move the code to the data" mean in practice?

You can do things like use PyKX which allows you to run your python & kdb code together on top of the data directly in the same process.

You should do as much of the filter/aggregation/joins/etc over on the KDB side before pulling the results back. You should also define, generate and use pre-aggregated data where it makes sense for your use case (second / minute / day bars).

Backtesting in KDB is relatively trivial as you have historical data organized by day and symbol. Any half decent KDB dev should be able to cook one up of increasing complexity for you.

Nick Psaris has a couple books that cover more advanced topics that may be of use.
LLMs are lossy compressors. They aren't databases. The training process had enough signal to allow for recognizing the author, but not for memorizing the title.
His Ex Is Getting His $1M Retirement Account. They Broke Up in 1989
Yeah, there is also a pretty large expectation on employees to participate in company sports teams events etc on the weekend.
Heh that last part is interesting, Java had the same issue with people's programs relying on (not guaranteed by the spec) deterministic order in HashMap/HashSet iteration and breaking after a JDK upgrade. They similarly added randomization to the iterators on the immutable collections returned by Map.of() and Set.of(), even though they could otherwise be deterministic since those collections never resize.
| an education

The community college in the area I briefly lived growing up was $17 a credit hour in 1997. Inflation adjusted that's $31.67 a credit hour.

It's now nearly $140 a credit hour. Almost 4.5x more than inflation.

For a community college.
If you write for any CPU other than an x86, the Intel assembler syntax matches the syntax order you would get. It also sort of lines up with C and C++ syntax of putting the result on the left.

I might be biased as an Intel-syntax-loving assembly-writing heathen.
Status seeking and envy are absolutely at the heart of it all. Status seekers and flatterers are weak people, because their lives are very much about agreeableness and approval seeking. Truth-seeking has always been at odds with "the world". You will know them by what they love.

Dante hated flattery so much, he immersed flatterers in excrement in the 8th circle of hell, below murderers. A fitting image given how full of crap such people are in this life.

In a riff on John Adams, no scientific enterprise will function in the absence of a moral people. You cannot have good scientists without first having virtuous men and women. You are wasting your time, and in fact, probably laying the groundwork for harm.
Where do you get this 80%+ spam coming from MS etc from? My mailserver still gets heaps and heaps of spam from random IP's that an RBL helps block. I use rspamd which takes a number of RBLs into account. Yes, RBL isn't the only thing it uses (there's Bayes, Neural Net, dmarc/dkim/sfp, razor/pyzor as well as others).
Very little spam comes from the big players. I DO see a lot of spam attempts from *.onmicrosoft.com domain names, but no one legit sends from that domain so that's just blocked outright.
If the argument is 80%+ of email is _handled by_ MS/Google etc then yea, I agree. But us losers out here still doing our own mail still see masses of spam from random IPs that RBLs still help block.
All that said, seeya SORBs. Your data was always hot garbage and so full of false positives as to be useless.
Show HN: I Tried Coolify to Self-Host My AI-Powered Anki Flashcard Generator
Hey HN,

I wanted to share my recent adventure in building and self-hosting a SaaS project called AnkAI (https://ankai.co). It's an AI tool that generates Anki flashcards, including images from PDFs, which is something I really needed for my own study sessions.

The real fun part? I decided to self-host everything using Coolify. So, I set up my Next.js frontend, a backend with Supabase, and used FastAPI in Python to handle OpenAI API communication—all hosted on Coolify. It was my first time using Coolify, and it made the whole process surprisingly smooth.

There were definitely some bumps along the way, especially with configuring the database and getting the PDF image extraction to work right. But overall, it was a great learning experience. Especially the automatic deployment when I commit to the main branch of GitHub works very well and is super helpful.

If you're into self-hosting, or just like tinkering with new tools, I'd love to hear your thoughts or any questions you might have!

Cheers,
Ferdinand
Now let a polar bear walk on it.
Right what's left unsaid is - even if you are right, having your firms entire data lake rewritten into a new tech stack is a multi-million dollar, multi-year project that will probably take longer than your tenure at the firm.

So figure out how to make it work for you as its a powerful tool and more than adequate for the job, as you aren't going to find something 10x better for time series market data.

Have your team talk to some consulting firms for one-off projects or advisory assistance within your team (like Data Intellect) if the central org is not responsive.
Here, in Ireland, the cost is pushed up mostly by planning. There's plenty of space, but due to planning (mostly limited by NIMBYs and apparently professional objectors), it is difficult to actually get approval for anything.

There's plenty of space and myriad of old houses in a state of decomposition, but only houses can be built, and apartments are scarce. People are going into bidding wars where you need to throw an extra 20% just to win the bid.

It certainly isn't the cost of materials or labor costs.

Yeah, "the free market" tends to have cheerleaders with contradictory premises for how it will work. For example:

1. "With perfect price/deal information, this math shows economic actors will be super duper efficient."

2. "Since people have the freedom to make secret deals for hidden prices, this prevents cartels by allowing defection."

Unfortunately it feels like rather than addressing the contradiction, they prefer to quietly march under the same banner and in the end we get neither benefit.
The Baffling Disaster Unfolding at the Washington Post

I don't see a difference there. If someone sells something without doing much innovation for over 10 years (doesn't matter if it is electronics or clothing), for much more than it costs to make, why is one overpriced and the other one is not?

Speaking from big tech, you get things like rust (mozilla) or React (facebook) when your engineers are given the space to solve industry scale problems. Those are both "weird nerd" contributions since the original creators weren't interested in the celebrity public facing side of it.

In the React case, I'm not sure it would have become the framework it is today unless Dan Abramhov pushed it outside of the company. That took an insane amount of effort and skill to do that, especially at the time when Angular was quickly establishing itself.

Rust required an entire company to organize behind it and Mozilla spent a fortune getting it on its feet. Otherwise, I am not sure it would have been more than an experiment on someone's laptop, long forgotten.

I'm not sure what the solution for that is, or how else you push through all of the noise. Every great discovery and advancement in history is driven by the folks who can sell their hard work or at least have someone else willing to do it for them.
This sounds like justification for a culture of hazing.

I get shot down with "we use KDB here"

Well, so fundamentally a decision has been made already. You got shot down. Unless there's some significant new data that might change that decision, it is what it is. The next step is for you to decide if you can get on board with that, or if it's time to start planning your next move. I don't know anything about KDB and you might be right. But it sounds like the powers that be don't want to make this change.

Sorry, but it makes no sense to swim against the tide in an organization where you don't have the rank to make the decisions.

I keep on advocating for some Parquet style data-store...

The worst thing you can do is to continue spending your time advocating for change, they've heard you. If you stay on and the current tech does become untenable, you are unlikely to be the hero even in that case. They might just remember you as the detractor.
