What do you think the definition is?
Pareto distributions are everywhere, and most learning ends up being one. Recently encountered this while getting into weight training for hypertrophy. The core is good form, diet, and progressive overload. Other than that, learning the basis of a specific exercise is something you can pick up as you expand.

It's so similar to most of the things I've specifically sought to learn as an adult. You get so much bang for your buck, time-wise, when learning something new. The best part is when you don't even need to dig deep past that foundational 80% and you can become pretty knowledgeable about something in a very reasonable amount of time.
RF is a heavy hitter when it comes to tabular data. XGBoost is good as well, but more often than not needs and autotuner to really unlock it (e.g pycaret).

Ask HN: How do you manage delivering dashboards between data teams and others?
Full context: A friend and I are working on addressing a pain point that bugs both of us. There is a painful disconnect that exists between understaffed data teams who clean and build dashboards/reports AND the non-technical teams who end up consuming those reports.

To probe further, we ended up doing a lean startup style "customer discovery" interview process. We ended up talking to 35+ people in the SMB space which validated some of our initial hypothesis but also not giving a strong signal on the top pain point.

So, what are the challenges you face? I would love to hear how you are dealing with these challenges. If you prefer to shoot me an email, you can find my email on my profile.

Thanks in advance!
Personally, I think being proud of your professional achievements, unless they're extraordinarily impressive, is pathetic. I can guarantee you, nobody else in your life shares that pride. Being proud for the money you earn is another thing all together, people do appreciate that.

> There's a reason most parents eventually want their kids out of the house. Or why Thanksgiving is only once a year.

Right, because people hate their lives and hate their families because they got married without putting much thought into it for financial incentives and then built a life with the intention of ignoring it as much as possible just to satisfy some perspective of white picket life and numbing heteronormativity.

I know many people - both men and women - who don't even like their partners. Forget about love. And they still committed to marrying them and settling down and then they like to work. Not because the work is good, but because it means they get away from their family.

Also, most adults eventually have no friends because nobody likes them, and they waste all their time on work. And, somehow, we're just supposed to be okay with the idea that nobody likes you and nobody is your friend. I mean, if you wanted to, could you even make a friend in the next year? For most, the answer is no.

We, as a whole, have destroyed any sense of community for the promise of a nuclear family and stable job. The end result is people being sad enough to pat themselves on the back for sending an email and hiding in a "man cave" to avoid the reality of having to make small talk with the person closest to them in their life.

Sorry, maybe this is harsh, but it's what I've observed. I mean just ask an older person what the best time of their life was. Most of the time they say college or high school. Sure, being young has something to do with it, but that's not it. Having friends, laughing a lot, doing activities, having a community... these are the parts that make life worth living. My father could recount countless stories from when he was in college, decades and decades ago. He couldn't tell you what the name of the dude hired 2 years ago at work.

At least in my experience, that's about when regular DBMS:es kinda start to suck for ad-hoc queries. You can push them a bit farther for non-analytical usecases if you're really careful and have prepared indexes that assist every query you make, but that's rarely a luxury you have in OLAP-land.

This post's content and tone in context of OP seems strange. You posted OP, yet didn't know about a first-party competitor to a product that you seem associated with, as per your bio? Is this some kind of astroturfing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing

> Astroturfing is the deceptive practice of hiding the sponsors of an orchestrated message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious, or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from, and is supported by, unsolicited grassroots participants. It is a practice intended to give the statements or organizations credibility by withholding information about the source's financial backers.

> The implication behind the use of the term is that instead of a "true" or "natural" grassroots effort behind the activity in question, there is a "fake" or "artificial" appearance of support.

Our vector implementation is fully compatible with the syntax for vector fields and comparison functions in MySQL 9 -- we have carefully backported all the changes to our version of MySQL 8 to ensure full backwards and forwards compatibility. The index syntax is specific to PlanetScale because the open-source MySQL 9 preview does not yet have support for ANN indexes on vector columns, but we're committed to being as compatible as possible in the future and to minimize fragmentation. I do agree that fragmenting the ecosystem is not great!

> law should be written to require a mandatory percentage of revenue. That will wake them up.

Percent of revenue fines regressively to margin.

10% of Walmart's revenue is 4 years' profits. 10% of Equifax's is a few quarters'. Moreover, you'd have a bureaucrats' delight of companies splitting revenues across entities while courts have to litigate common control claims. Unless you have a good reason to punish low-margin businesses more heavily than high-margin ones, this is an inefficient scheme.

Better: fines based on damages, trebled.

I start firefox with -P every time I open the browser. I use it to compartmentalize my browsing habbits. E.g. if I'm working on schoolwork, I have a school profile w/o any social media passwords stored. I also have a general browsing profile and a few others like banking.

Hopefully.

I’ve implemented quite a few RPA apps and the struggle is the request/response turn around time for realtime transactions. For batch data extract or input, RPA is great since there’s no expectation of process duration. However, when a client requests data in realtime that can only be retrieved from an app using RPA, the response time is abysmal. Just picture it - Start the app, log into the app if it requires authentication (hope that the authentication's MFA is email based rather than token based, and then access the mailbox using an in-place configuration with MS Graph/Google Workspace/etc), navigate to the app’s view that has the data or worse, bring up a search interface since the exact data isn’t known and try and find the requested data. So brittle...

I used to use both Container tabs and two profiles. The two profiles were a non-tracking profile, and a fairly vanilla profile (plus uBlock). I'd switch to the vanilla profile when the privacy settings borked things. I made heavy use of Containers in both browsers.

Nowadays, I use Librewolf the same way as I used the non-tracking profile, and I just have one profile on Firefox that I use in the same way as the Vanilla profile. Still a big container person, especially for banks.
Yes, I love profiles. I use them extensively with firefox. I can't live without Firefox profiles (my use case does not work with Safari or Chrome).

I needed to use two tailscale networks on the same machine. And, since I'm crazy, I self-host using headscale, which means both must use the same IP block (100.64.0.x). How can this be possible on one machine?

I use lima to run a little container and inside that I have a secondary tailscale network established. Then, I run a little SSH forwarding script to setup a socks proxy from inside that container. One of my firefox profiles can then use custom network settings to point to that socks proxy and get access to all my internal machines for the secondary tailscale network.

As I mentioned, this is only possible with Firefox. Both Safari and Chrome use the system level settings for proxy, which I cannot use for my other Firefox profiles which need to use the main tailscale network.

I love firefox profiles and cannot live without them.

As an aside, I'm pretty blown away that I can run a secondary tailscale network inside a container running on a host network with a primary tailscale network, and have it all work perfectly. Wireguard and tailscale are incredible.

The only issue I have is that I often have to shutdown profiles and lima machines because the memory usage adds up. But, other than that it is a terrific experience.
Love the brutal honesty! Even as a macOS user I admit that it's difficult to justify learning the Apple-proprietary tech needed to port apps to it (and automated testing is indeed a nightmare). Curious as to your thoughts on Android?
There should be a hosted demo at least. The web's big advantage is instant distribution with no installation on any platform. I think it's a shame to build using web tech and then throw away your biggest advantage by requiring platform-specific local installation.

> It seems backwards, but pretty much the only fuel that protects ecosystems on a large scale are fossil fuels and nuclear.

This is ludicrously off-base for fossil fuels, even if we're only talking about local pollutants from the plants themselves, nevermind things like Exxon Valdez or the pipelines or the act of mining. Nuclear seems likely, though as the other commenter noted it's not a magic bullet either.

RPA has been a huge pain to work with.

It's almost always a framework around existing tools like Selenium that you constantly have to fight against to get good results from. I was always left with the feeling that I could build something better myself just handrolling the scripts rather than using their frameworks.

Getting Claude integrated into the space is going to be a game changer.
Forcing others into the office just because you want their company is definitely a bad idea.

The way forward is finding ways to work together that the entire team is comfortable with. And employers thinking of employees more as humans and less as resources to be manipulated and squeezed. It will take compromises and growth, but it's far from impossible to achieve.

I'm skeptical. China is already mass-producing batteries, securing as much lithium as possible. Additionally, US regulations will significantly increase costs for battery manufacturers.
Xtal is a gem. I just tested both and the Apple Music version had more oomph the first time I tested for a bit. Then I went back to the beginning a second time and they sounded the same. Whether or not it's true I don't think I can trust myself to be a good tester.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fwiw I believe Xtal was originally made from samples recorded on cassette, so there's definitely a ceiling on how dynamic it could sound.
