OK, I didn't mean to sound harsh, that statement just seemed out of place.

Taking another look at this, here's what I see:

> As AI capability continues to advance, it'll consistently and increasingly outperform traditional human analysis in both speed and accuracy.

> Our Orchid hybrid model combines neural networks, quantitative models, and language models to leverage both numerical and textual information, enabling smarter, faster algorithmic decision-making with significantly less human supervision.

> Here's a couple use cases: ...

> Simulating the past twelve months, our implementation of Orchid outperformed the S&P 500 by over 10%.

These four statements tell me the problem/opportunity, your solution to that opportunity, how that solution might be relevant / useful to me, and proof that your solution works.

This is your value proposition, and what I need to know about Orchid as a potential customer / user. I'd consolidate these four statements and put them at the top of the page. The jokes can come later (but I'd still tone down the sarcasm).

Not just that, but they also wrote the numbers in decimal - they didn't even want them in the code as an example of what not to do.

> Differently named is a different problem.

Huh? So what's the point of having PostgreSQL pick the name for you? I assumed it would be so that it picked a new name if one with that name already existed (and my objection is that you're then just storing up trouble for when the time comes to drop the index), is that not it?
Systems or organisms can be defined as antifragile if they derive benefit from systemic variability, volatility, randomness, or disorder.

If that's a riddle, death fits. Those things are characteristic of the pestilence, famine, war, etc. that feed death. The decay surrounding death is complex and dynamical. And death is more sustainable than any living system.
on this point, the disease "diabetes" comes from an old latin word "diabeetus" which is Spanish for "urine which tastes very sweet with a hint of cinnamon". Now.. .. one can imagine how physicians of the time would go about diagnosing this disease, "diabeetus"
There is a way of defining a vector space without an explicit basis(just as a set with an addition and a scalar multiplication). Similarly, there is a way of defining a vector bundle without choosing an explicit coordinates (as an abstract vector space, as defined above, which varies with the point in the space).

Just as a (p,q) tensor is a multilinear object related to a single vector space, a tensor field is a section of a tensor bundle associated to the vector bundle. (A section is just a function on the underlying space whose value at a point lies in the vector space above the point.)

Usually, the vector bundle relevant in physics is the tangent bundle of a 4-manifold.

This abstract way of defining tensors and tensor fields is manifestly invariant under coordinate changes, but it takes some machinery to set up. Whereas the 'numbers associated to each coordinate system which transform in a certain way' is more direct, but the rules can seem arbitrary at first sight. Also, maybe this approach can generalize to allow more transformation rules which might take some time to put into an abstract setting.

Standard example is a matrix A which transforms as PAP^-1 (where P is linear coordinate change) vs a matrix T which is a linear map between vector spaces.

The same issue appears in software where you can expose a data structure as a tuple of numbers/string fields and then define functions on them, or you can expose it as an abstract data type where the user of the library can only apply certain functions on them and the implementation author can choose different representations(coordinate changes) in which to easily compute the functions.
I think avoid any kinds of buzzwords like AI, high tech, whatever and just focus on what it actually does, which is a lot more impressive.

You can try to wow the customer with a bunch of words but it’s all fluff - and everyone is implementing AI now, and usually these “implementations” are ChatGPT with RAG on the docs or something else that everyone’s done before. What you end up getting is only slightly better than typing in chatgpt.com.

If you’ve managed to get something that solves a problem just explain what it does to solve that.

I wish folks would write more plainly. “Antifragility characterizes the benefit of a dynamical system derived from the variability in environmental perturbations.” Geish.
HN markup ate my *... Yes, I'm also talking about vector<int> and vector<int>*. They are indeed of radically different sizes, and the consequences of copying one are very different from the consequences of copying the other.

But this doesn't change the fact that they are both passed-by-value when you call a function of that parameter type.

sure, but that's all details, and there are other cooperative scheduling models which aren't excessively eager. this isn't to be a downer on this implementation, or other implementations, but just generally pointing at cooperative advantages, of which there are many, with one particular implicit and major downside, which is starvation when the cooperation contract is not adhered to.
A settlement is not admission of liability. It's done to avoid a determination on this. But I think it's ridiculous that they even tried to sue the venue.
I am curious, do you think there is an ethical way to be a middleman like this? Would making some one-time fee of maybe $1000 be more or less limiting to potential content creators on Patreon? Would a subscription to keep the Patreon page up be better?

Ultimately, Patreon isn't fundamentally doing something that even a non-tech user can't whip up for their own website. May need to resort to a payment processor (another middleman) to get donations going, but it's possible. I can take my ball home.

Current factors on IOS make it impossible to do the same on IOS, even post DMA they want to rent-seek outside of the App Store. I think that's what makes IOS worse in my eyes.
OP said "Ultra events with 100+ Miles and tons of elevation gain" (emphasis mine).

"Tons" is subjective, but their statement is objectively true for a bunch of ultra marathons - Tor des Géants and Barkley were just the ones of the top of my head. He is not "totally incorrect" as you said.

It pretty much works with other carriers. My spouse has Verizon prepaid, and when they get a new phone, just pop the sim out of the old phone and put it in the new one. Same thing with t-mobile US prepaid for me. Around the world it's even more common to just move sims around.

Especially around the turn down of 3g, some US carriers were picky about the phone you used (must support VoLTE on their network or not allowed on a phone plan), but to my knowledge they wouldn't ban your sim, maybe just the phone after some notifications.
That X space has over one million listeners right now and they're saying deep state is causing a DDOS.
I don’t see why allowing professionals to compete prevents anyone from enjoying other events.

It sounds like your complaint is that the professionals consume the oxygen of the Olympics and prevent the rest from getting as much share of the public’s attention.

For the record, the break dancing was really fun to watch, all the track and field events are always fun to watch, and the training and dedication to all the competitors is admirable.

The real problem is that the enshitification of all modern media means that there’s not a single repo of video of all the events. Even finding the video of one specific event is a gigantic PITA.
Another view: a lot of people were laid off at the beginning of 2020. To prevent a total meltdown, unemployment assistance was made unusually robust (for the US). With the stimulus, it was not unheard of for people to be getting more in unemployment than they'd ever made actually working. Likewise, PPP loans meant that anyone with even a trivial business and a handful of employees could apply for support.

The "Great Resignation" (a clever bit of branding; people were moving to better jobs, not resigning) coincided with that easy money drying up. Businesses had to actually start making money again, as did workers (many of whom re-skilled during the pandemic). Higher-than-normal employment migration might have just been people coming out of unemployment, gig work, and whatever jobs they took just to ride out the crisis.

Also, high inflation coincided with the increased numbers at many companies. The layoffs came after inflation started to cool (probably an important contributor to stagnating wage growth), and probably were related to the Fed continuing to raise interest rates and putting off a pivot to dropping them until... Well, they still haven't done a cut, yet.

Sounds like somebody should set up incremental CI with Bazel :)

Seriously though, of course there's a lot of details here, but I think people tend to not really interenalize how much testing is about confidence, and things like incremental CI can really chew away at how big/small your test suite needs to be. There are some things that are just inherently slow, but I've seen a lot of test suites that are mostly rerunning tests that only use unchanged code for most of its runtime.

My glib assertion is that there is likely to be no test suite generated by 20 engineers that requires 30 shards that is impossible to chop up with incremental CI. And downstream of that, getting incremental CI would improve DX a lot, cuz I bet those 30 shards take a long time

Your statement about an excuse for bad tech is factually wrong.

> On the other hand, the abstract formulation of the physical laws does not need such details, but only the high-level definitions using multi-linear functions, and it is independent of any choice for the coordinate system.

This is exactly the point. Abstract physical laws must be invariant to coordinate transformation. From a pedagogical point of view, perhaps this is less important when discussing anisotropic media, but critical when discussing general relativity. Hence, the first reason why many physicist book writer think it very important that covariance/contravariance of tensors be central to both their definition and their pedagogy as applied to physics. You have to convince the student that tensors are the right mathematical objects to describe reality because they preserve this invariance.

The second reason is just as important. Physics is nothing without validating abstract physical laws by experiment. And that validation can not be done without computing predictions. Which in turn will require the right coordinate system, which will require covariance/contravariance of tensors. You can't just disregard these computations as unimportant or unnecessary from either a pedagogical point of view or a deeper philosophical one.
I didn't know about insurance paying for second opinion in Europe; that's interesting.

Liability - are doctors liable in Europe, except in extreme cases like anesthesia overdose or obvious negligence? Even if they were, I'm interested in cases where doctors are not being criminally negligent, but just ineffective due to not keeping themselves updated.

Do you have thoughts about where to collect the seed data, in the European system?
No one cares about the public. Everyone is looking out for themselves. Life is about finding people whose interests align with your own.

I would like to sort comments by the level of the author’s expertise in whatever they are discussing. HN is a goldmine, but finding valuable knowledge within heated or elaborate discussions requires too much commitment to read through everything.

A weighted number of a comment’s upvotes is one signal. However, I can often tell when an author has deep knowledge or comprehensive experience with a subject just by reading their comment.

Do you think it might be possible to automate that kind of judgment?

First, I would argue we haven't efficiently used the bandwidth at all. In many places you'll find large swaths of bandwidth not being used at the moment. This gets particularly more pronounced at night.

> No agreement with Costco means no access to Costco customers, which is a lot of customers.

Specifically, it means no access to Costco customers inside Costco. But again, Costco customers are not forced to shop in Costco. They can shop anywhere they please, including but not limited to Costco.

That's the essential difference. iPhone customers are forced to shop for apps inside the App Store. They have no access to alternative stores, unlike Costco customers. Costco cannot prevent their customers from shopping for the same goods in other stores.

> If you want a 1:1 example, then just look at gaming consoles, their whole business model depends on the same one giving Apple antitrust issues. Same gatekeeper restrictions.

Agreed.

I think it should be. In my opinion, it's one and the same with the right to repair. Once I pay for my computer and walk out the door, it ought to be mine to do with as I please.

I don't want to get into a debate about what "is" legal or illegal in the United States. As I see it, the law is whatever a majority of the Supreme Court decides it is on any given day, precedents and principles be damned. And antitrust enforcement has been practically nonexistent since Microsoft got a slap on the wrist a couple decades ago. I don't expect Apple to have much trouble here in the near future. Of course Europe is another matter.
No. These tests are part of rustc’s tests, not part of anything that runs for arbitrary Rust programs.

I can totally agree that Go is good enough for most projects, to the extent it's a go-to choice for many. However, it's not always the best tool - frequently it wins just because it allows to prototype quicker. YMMV, but for me, it's not a love relationship, it's a love-hate relationship.

> The language is extremely simple.

Simplicity is a double-edged sword. It didn't even have basic generics for a long while, and it's painful to remember how bad it was without them. Still doesn't have a lot of stuff anyone would expect from a modern language.

> If you know 20% of C you are already a Go expert.

Strong disagree. Knowing $language means knowing the patterns and caveats and (sorry for a cliche term, I'm not fond of it, but I don't have a better term so I hope you get the meaning) "best practices". Those are drastically different between C and Go. Especially when it comes to concurrency and parallelism.

> The toolchain and the core libraries alone can do 90% of what most people will ever need.

This is provably false. Virtually every serious project out there pulls a ton of dependencies, like database drivers, configuration toolkits, tracing and logging libraries and so on. Heck, I think a lot of shops have project templates for this reason - to standardize on the layout and pull the company-preferred set of libraries for common stuff. Core libraries are slowly getting there but so far they don't have very basic stuff like MapSet[T] or JSON codecs for nullable types like sql.NullString, so you gotta pull third-party stuff.

>Fairness at its most objective is merely a process.

so basically, you don't care about moral fairness and are fine letting monopolies rule markets and societies. The extreme side of "equal opportunity".

I won't make a moral argument here, but merely a logistical one: country governments have a lot of incentive to not let this happen. For the sake of technological progress, for the sake of ensuring the non-upper class economy (aka, taxable income that won't play Matrix with them in terms of evasion) is healthy enough, and for the sake of minimizing risks of a hostile takeover (be it from the monopoly or foreign powers).

So a truly "free market" only works in a vacuum with benevolant dictators and a united world government. That may take a while.

>The "average person" does not exist

hence why we have multiple fields dedicated to approximating such a person. Because averages are still valuable for many things. From government policy, to targeted marketing, to identifying societal biases.
