Even that is problematic. A 98% match means there’s a 1 in 50 chance that the sample is not from the person that it’s been matched to. How many cases do you have to cross match with how many felons before you get a false positive? It’s probably not as many as you think, but I don’t have the numbers to do the maths with.

Yes, you could use address registers for data storage, but you cannot make general computations on them, and because of this wiki definition don't account address registers in list of general purpose registers.
I'm one of the developers behind this project, so I want to jump in because we did explore some of these solutions.

You are correct in saying the low frequency acceleration from starts, stops and turns can be distinguished from the higher frequency noise.

One big challenge was with orientation. Acceleration can look the same as deceleration and turns from the sensor's perspective, if you turn the phone around. Taking the integral of the gyro reading, the error would grow quadratically, and we found magnetometer readings unreliable depending on the vehicles.

Your point about the hunting oscillation is interesting and I agree, estimating the speed would be a great improvement.

But that's based on the work you've seen, which is generalist work, which is what you're known for, which is what you've worked on; it's a circular definition. If the company has a database on their backend and they've built indexes and scaled it up and denormed it and sharded it and exhausted all the available options, but it's still not fast enough, would they call you to invent a new, faster database with properties X, Y, and Z that's needed for this particular site because everything on the shelf is the wrong shape, or would they pull in a specialist who's resume is exclusively that kind of work, which is why you've not seen more than 10% of that sort of stuff?
how they describe what they want to work on and their experience, looking at their personal projects to see if any attention was paid to design, what they do with our take home exercise... it's really not actually hard to sift. most engineers just straight up say they don't have design sensibilities. and you can pretty quickly tell if someone who claims to have design sensibilities has chops for it by just glancing at some of their prior work.

what i found is that there are some people who say they are interested in design but are pretty bad at our technical interview, like totally in a lower rung than the engineering candidates, and very very rarely do you find someone that is a 7/10 or above in both design sensibility and engineering chops, even rarer to find an 8 or a 9. (arbitrary scoring scale for conveying my point -- i don't have a specific rubric for this)

The US, especially, seems to by trying to help Ukraine win, but not win so hard that Russia collapses,

My sense is it's not that they don't want Ukraine to win that hard -- they just (very reasonably) don't see how anyone can expect that to reasonably happen within any meaningful time frame.

So they fall back on the next-best alternative, that Ukraine not lose, as a sibling commenter already pointed out. Much more definable, and infinitely more achievable -- if there's a broadly shared understanding (and consensus reality) in place as what that would necessarily entail.

Only problem is -- there's still been a lot of noise among those who run things in the US/West about pretending to believe in the former ("Ukraine must simply win") as a stated goal. Leading inevitably to reduced confidence in what the US/West says, and to the further erosion of public discourse as we're seeing here.
I like knowing someone's bias. It makes it easier to understand their viewpoint whether I agree with it or not. It's the people that claim to be unbiased that worry me the most. While not always true, I suspect them of lying or lacking self-awareness.

That a transform from materials to a 19th century Russian painter somehow is applicable to what just so happens to be the zeitgeist of materials science beggars belief.
Yeah, I agree, we're going to need a really compelling use-case not just for end users that run the application, but for the application developers as well. Nobody wants to maintain 3+ extra deployment files for the various also-rans competing with docker-compose.

What do you use to manage all those compose files? Do you have off-site backups? I'm constantly reading and re-writing docker-compose and bash scripting everything to fit in with the rest of my infrastructure it'd be good to hear about someone with a better way.
Raku has features that would appeal to mathematicians. It might seem like a parlour trick to you but that doesn't make it so for everyone.

I was more questioning why a .container file would work for system services versus application services, since basically all those same problems occur for system services too.

Either way this type of argument just comes down to "should I cluster or not" but to think out loud for a bit that's just basic HA planning: Simplest solution is keepalived/etc for stateful services, standard load balancing for stateless. Don't want load balanced services running all the time? Socket activation. Don't have a separate machine? Auto-restart the service and you can't cluster anyway. The only thing you'd really have to script is migrating application data over if you're not already using a shared storage solution, but I'm not sure there's any easier solutions in Kubernetes
> Whatever your service is, usually the database is the bottleneck. The database limits the latency, scaling and availability.

Database-driven traffic is still a tiny percentage of internet traffic. It's harder to tell these days with encryption but on any given page-load on any project I've worked on, most of the traffic is in assets, not application data.

Now, latency might be a different issue, but it seems ridiculous to me to consider "downloading a file" to be a niche concern—it's just that most people offload that concern to other people.
Ask HN: Will Bluesky become more popular than Twitter?
Recent exodus of Twitter reminds of when Elon took over. Will that make Bluesky more compelling?
Apparently Wonder is unrelated to Wonder Bread.
Nothing will ever be as popular as Twitter, which is why it was valued at $44 billion dollars when it was bought. Bitten once, twice shy.

Edit for response since I'm rate limited:

Twitter didn't make a profit - it would have been overpriced at just $10 billion dollars. The value comes from having a captive userbase where the majority is entirely unwilling to use an alternative. Depending on how hard you intend to manipulate those users, the ROI may or may not be worth it.
wasn't it considered to be over priced which was why Elon tried to backout?
I know this is so common to say that it's a joke at this point but...

I'd just quit. If people in my company are making sweeping decisions that I disagree with (how much they are based in reality aside), I would just leave. If the company isn't aligning with you on something you feel passionately about, just leave. There are oodles of companies out there that would align with you on this.
> Sounds like your container has some kind of side-car that makes it directly addressable over Wireguard

Not necessary. You can access the deployed docker container without exposing any ports or having any reverse proxy (what you've likely thought about with sidecar, which is a k8s concept, not docker) or anything else by using the ipadress of the started container and the ports the started service used. This is usually only possible from localhost, but wireguard can be configured as what's essentially a bastion host and exit node, this would let connecting clients also address containers that were started on that server, without opening any ports.

You can technically also do that without wireguard even, as long as you configure the docker host to route relevant traffic into the docker ethernet and define the docker subnet as a static route that points to the docker host, but that's another story
Both companies are not public. The investors need to agree on the price and the deal is done.
[dupe "dupe" comment] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42129024
I always wondered if the promotions were handled with restaurants more like "we (the platform) recoup our promo losses via the regular platform fee you (the restaurant) pay regardless" or more like "if a customer uses a promotion, we (platform and restaurant) split the loss, unrelated to the regular platform fee". Like when I use a platform promo for reasons well beyond trying a new place for the first time, am I screwing the restaurant, the platform, or some combination?
GitHub repos of mine are seeing upticks in strange PRs that may be attacks. But the article's PR doesn't seem innocent at all; it's more akin to a huge dangerous red flag.

If any GitHub teammates are reading here, open source repo maintainers (including me) really need better/stronger tools for potentially risky PRs and contributors.

In order of importance IMHO:

1. Throttle PRs for new participants. For example, why is a new account able to send the same kinds of PRs to so many repos, and all at the same time?

2. Help a repo owner confirm that a new PR author is human and legit. For example, when a PR author submits their first PR to a repo, can the repo automatically do some kind of challenge such as a captcha prompt, or email confirmation, or multi-factor authentication, etc.?

3. Create across-repo across-organization flagging for risky PRs. For example, when a repo owner sees a PR that's questionable, currently the repo owner can report it to GitHub staff but that takes quite a while; instead, what if a repo owner can flag a PR as questionable, which in turn can propagate cautionary flags on similar PRs or similar author activity?
I hope you understand how privileged you are to be able to say that and hopefully do what you say.

Why does everyone keep saying OpenAI's o1 is so much better than Claude?
I don't understand.

Anecdotally, myself and every engineer I know has transitioned over the last 6 months from never using Claude and it being discussed as unusable (relative to GPT 4o) to everyone now using Claude while ChatGPT (specifically o1-preview) increasingly feels like it has become unusable for coding. 3.5 Sonnet seems to have been the big turning point.

Yet, all I see online is about how o1 is such an insane step forwards. I just don't see or feel it - in fact actually I vehemently disagree.

Would love to hear what you use and if that's changed at all - and if so, why so.

Sincerely,

Weird editorialization. I included a TL;DR at the top, you could have just copy-pasted it.

"Docker-compose is a tool for working with Docker containers. It solves very real problems with deploying complex applications. By itself it is not enough to make self-hosting applications simple enough for the mass-market."
I think this is pretty good advice.

I think often AI sceptics go too far in assuming users blindly use the AI to do everything (write all the code, write the whole essay). The advice in this article largely mirrors - by analogy - how I use AI for coding. To rubber duck, to generate ideas, to ask for feedback, to ask for alternatives and for criticism.

Usually it cannot write the whole thing (essay, program )in one go, but by iterating bewteen the AI and myself, I definitely end up with better results.

Personally, I've seen glaring examples of both extremes when it comes to living above/below your means. However, I don't know that this is generational. Back when I was in my 20s I knew plenty of people (in my age group) buying expensive cars/housing and being cash broke.

An example to the contrary... a few years back I worked with a college hire who got a super fat signing bonus and made a plenty hefty salary for a first job, but he rented his friend's walk-in closet and almost never ate out. Within just a few years he had enough money for a downpayment on a home in one of the most expensive housing markets in the US. I don't think this type of frugality has ever been the norm, but it does exist in all generations.

> In addition to terminating all sales, all of our offices in Russia, including Moscow, Novosibirsk, and St. Petersburg were shut down. Work on the new campus in St. Petersburg was also terminated.

I do review all my changes before committing. In my workflow, that's the same time I remove the debugging instrumentation. I can't imagine a scenario where there's debug code that I don't want to commit, but I still have a use for it after committing.

If there's still a known bug I'm trying to solve in this area of code, I'll include that also. If this is a long-standing mystery, then the logging code probably needs to get committed anyway.
You may be referring to the court's (and other appellate courts') long-standing practice of not second guessing a trial court's finding of what did or didn't happen, unless a "clear error" is demonstrated to have been committed by the trial court.

SCOTUS decisions and opinions, therefore, should not be construed as to concur with the trial court about what actually happened. They take it as granted that those things occurred, and provide the best legal resolution they can under those assumptions. The cases they hear aren't about determining "who did what". That's done and settled usually. They are about "what now?"
Openly calling people "freaks" is not exactly indicative that you can expect that person to be impartial and accurate in their reporting of the facts. Moreover, calling abortion "healthcare" is disingenuous at best. Everyone knows damn well why people oppose abortion, and trying to euphemistically refer to it as healthcare is willfully ignoring the dispute.
Please do correct me: the wars in Georgia, Moldova, and Chechnya never happened?

1992–1993 - War in Abkhazia /
1992 - Transnistria War /
1999 - War of Dagestan /

... so conflicts where Russia occupied territory, shouldn't be of concern to any former Soviet states? You don't think played a role in the decision to defend themselves from a neighbour known for their invasions and genocide?

The writing was on the wall:
