It's sometimes hard to credit that there are people who think in such a contorted way as you apparently do.

China isn't a democracy. The word doesn't apply when your choices for candidates can only come from one political party that pre-approved them. Don't be absurd.

It's a one-party state in which variations of style among different senior figures are still forced together under the rubric of a general monolithic dogma that's only marginally beholden to public opinion, and very much subject to the whims of dominant figures. Also, many elements of the Chinese state are at least as conservative as the worst you could see in the U.S, just without the religious overtones. Truly, go study the subject and it's history a bit better.

What's happening in Palestine, or more specifically in the Gaza Strip, is not a genocide. It's a tragedy of destructive military strategies by Israel, but calling it a genocide is demeaning to the definition of real genocides, which you should also study a bit better.

Or the fit between employee and manager. I've come into many teams where the employee on a PIP went to being one of my best performers while those I was given the ravest reviews for were just mediocre under me. Or even just cultural. I had to change how I managed/my expectations as I moved positions around the country or when offshore teams were brought on.

I agree with your shocking premise that people are not machines and expand it to include that they are also not numbers in a spreadsheet or HR system.
Speedrunning an A/B Test Setup: Bandit Experiment in 4 minutes [video]
A speedrun video applying the format to something unconventional - setting up an A/B testing experiment using bandit algorithms on a website. The run involves connecting SDKs, configuring analytics, setting up metrics, and launching a 5-variation test on a (fake) raccoon rescue website built with Framer. You can see the live experiment at growthbook.framer.website. Our open-core A/B testing platform, GrowthBook (YC W22), is used here.

it will be people + machine as it always is. For instance, modern robotics hasn't made factories unmanned, instead it's just a small fraction of what was once needed. Same thing is true for mining. Over 90% of the jobs will vanish and they will be different. In the 1800s, the professional photographer replaced the portraiture painter. Different pricing point, different skill, comparable product.

But none of these 100% disappeared. Ai is not a buggy whip to programming. It's more of a camera to painting.

Speculation on my part:

Let's assume an MP3 stores 8 sample Fourier transforms, overlapping via windowing.

1: Start with 8 16-bit samples. (For a total of 128 bits from the original CD)

2: Convert to 32 bit float

3: Run a forward Fourier transform

4: Now you're in the frequency domain

5: Keep the amplitude for the 0th frequency bucket. Quantize at 8 bit with companding. (This keeps mid-range frequencies, where the ear is most sensitive, generally lossless.)

6: Apply an exponential function to the higher frequencies amplitude (slots 1, 2, 3, and 4) so that very quiet highs are discarded. Then quantize the highs at 6 bit.

7: We will ignore the phase. Remember that slots 5-7 are just copies of 1-3

8: Now, with slot 0 at 16-bit, and slots 1-4 at 6-bit, the window is a total of 32 bits.

Because of windowing, each Fourier transform is crossfaded. (Basically, the first 8-sample transform is at sample 0, the next is at sample 4, the next is at sample 8, and each is cross-faded.) This means that each the ratio of bits is (32 + 32) / 128: 0.5. Further compression (by storing the difference between windows) can probably get to around 0.25

Raw milk is like tap water without fluoride. In the context of America people talk like it's an affront to civilization itself, yet in much (not all) of Europe its available with various restrictions and regulations.

Edit for factual context: In the 19th century before the advent of pasteurization and refrigeration, raw milk used to kill lots of kids. But raw milk in America wasn't banned in America until 1987 and 1991 in Canada. Refrigeration made raw milk mostly safe (albeit still gross, IMHO) and most consumers chose pasteurized milk anyway without the government forcing them to. People who think raw milk should obviously be banned like to talk about the Victorian era but not the (far more relevant) 1980s.

I think a lot of the flavor comes from two other factors: fat level (i.e. you can get higher fat than "whole" milk quite easily, although at some point it gets marketed as "cream", which significantly alters the taste) and the cow's diet: you can easily taste the difference between milk marketed as "grassfed" and the cheap stuff in a blind tasting. (Same is true for eggs, I suspect, though I've never tried that particular experiment myself.)
>Browser choice vs Microsoft were a big win.

Indeed. The whole premise of the activity is that they are highly correlated.

The imposition of a normal distribution is done ad-hoc at the population level. All it says is that if scores were normally distributed, then "people would be so-and-so comparable".

Almost all assumptions of this method are false.

Any time anyone mentions the central limit theorem in applied stats is a warning sign for pseudoscience. If reality existed at the end of the CLT, it would be in heat death.
Sometimes, people aware of one set of risks are not always aware of the others. Drinking raw milk absolutely cares a certain set of risks... but drinking pasteurized does as well.

People who are confused about why one group chooses a different risk need to understand it's not because Californians are dumb (or Europeans or anyone else that drinks it).

The modern world has found a way to pasteurize, blanch, freeze, osmosis, distill, dna splice, or artificially grow many foods. This (mostly) eliminated a class of problems such as Salmonella or other pathogens. The problem is that the nutritional value of the food has taken a drastic decline that has effected the digestion system in many people. Enzymes, bacteria, and other beneficial parts of your diet are also destroyed.

This is an issue because your body requires bacteria to exist. You cannot correctly break down food or fight off viruses without certain bacteria existing inside you. Too much and it becomes an issue, but if you only eat sterile food or living in a sterile bubble you'll find your immune system will not be up to the task of other critical life functions you need to have.

I encourage people to look into the research about gut health and why it's an important part of your immune response.
> Maybe barely post-cave people needed it to survive

Milk consumption is generally much more recent than that. Broadly speaking, while the ability for adult humans to digest milk probably arose several times independently in different populations throughout history, for most people of European descent it likely arose around the time the first Proto-Indo-Europeans were migrating from steppes of Asia to Europe. They were horse riders and herders it's likely their ability to digest milk from their herd animals gave them a huge advantage. While migrating it would have been an invaluable food source and likely gave them a physical advantage as well as some studies of remains from this time indicates they were physically larger on average than the native European populations they were displacing, which may help explain how they apparently dominated or assimilated the native groups so easily.

If you look at maps of lactose intolerance world-wide, the countries with the lowest rates generally overlap with countries that speak languages in the Indo-European language family.

I'm sure there's much more nuance to it than that, but lactose tolerance in adults is a relatively modern development.

> but in the modern world there is 0 reason to be consuming another species lactate.

I can think of at least two: many people think dairy products taste good and they are also good sources of nutrition.

There are many good criticisms of the modern dairy industry and our culture in general, but the simple act of using milk from other animals isn't the problem.

Per the article, past use of ADHD meds can absolutely prevent someone from signing up

> Multiple recruiters on the ground, from different services and locations, are more blunt in their assessments. They say Genesis has ended an applicant’s ability to gloss over or knowingly ignore minor medical issues, such as past use of ADHD meds or inhalers, before signing up.

and a second quote without the disqualifier "ADHD meds", instead pointing to just mental health causes like ADHD or depression

> That makes it harder, some recruiters say, to squeeze applicants through despite past maladies they did not disclose — such as ADHD, depression or a years-old broken bone. Recruiting numbers suffer as a result. Previously, such applicants could enlist if they concealed, or genuinely had forgotten about, these issues.
There are a variety of outdoor rated pushbuttons you can buy that don't have their electrical properties change due to the moisture content of a user's fingertips, or lack thereof.

But just to be clear - the level doesn't have buttons. It has touch sensor on the enclosure to lock/unlock by just touching the lock, while it looks like a plain-old deadbolt. The problem is the sensor is garbage, so it's basically a plain-old-deadbolt but costs 5 times as much

> There needs to be a way to write a query that runs on an abstract interface, rather than an actual table.

Proper use of SQL inverts control. Instead of parameterizing query by table, you write a query and at the actual use site you join it on the table you need by fields your query provides. VIEWs allows you to not repeat yourself too often.

Best thing is that you do not need to even mention that "abstract interface table" as a parameter at all.

Heh, news to me. I've always stuck with OpenMP for cross platform across Mac/Windows/Linux
I have a very simple theory.

The cost of land determines cost of living, and high cost of living means fewer children.

It’s the biggest first-order trend in the data. Places with cheap land have high fertility.

The financialization of land means the poorest person has to compete against the richest in the housing market.

Doubly true in a globalized market where any foreign individual or corporation can buy the land.
The market will naturally something something, and the invisible hand will then guide us to...sigh.
Gee, thanks, I hadn't thought of that. (Seriously, did you read the article?)

I moved from the city to the beach a little over a year ago, and though the sound of the waves is roughly the same level as the city’s car drone was, it being a natural sound made a huge difference in my sleep quality and overall comfort.

What do your teachers say about this? Surely they're aware of the difficulties right now...? It might be a bit too late :(

This story just came out yesterday: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/business/computer-coding-...

It sadly reaffirms what many of us have seen anecdotally: the dev labor market has completely crashed and junior devs cannot find jobs anywhere :( Experienced devs are struggling too.

You at least will have a real degree, but even then it's not going to be easy, I don't think.

I fear that by the time you graduate, it will either be quite a bit worse (i.e. AI will have replaced even more of us) or maybe the industry will have reached peak AI (for now) and start hiring humans again. But even then I think a lot of the low-end jobs will not really be just developers anymore but more like "AI shepherds", and there will be far fewer of them. One experienced dev with AI help can now do the jobs of what used to take like 4-6 people.

I really hate to say this, but if I were you (i.e. still in school and young-ish and inexperienced in web dev), I would give up that degree and pivot to something else instead, maybe AI stuff or embedded software or some specialty vertical (e.g. coding for medicine, defense, law, science, academia, etc.).

I think generalist web dev is not going to ever recover to the way it was in the 2000s and 2010s, when boot camps or entry level degrees actually meant something. It's too commoditized now, there's too many of us, too many of us were way overpaid, there's too many still laid off, and AI is too good and only getting better. It is a really bad time to be entering the field and just getting started =/ I'm sorry, man. If I were you I'd really think long and hard about this and look up the career prospects in your part of the world and see if it's a realistic degree anymore. Coding used to be a surefire path to the middle class, but it's not so much anymore.
Yeah my school was a -lot- less nice 20 years ago when I graduated. I was amazed visiting my nephew in his dorm. It was like something out of an extremely nice hotel and concurrent works space for students to lounge and study, and the sports stadium was insanely improved. He said almost all the dorms were that nice or better. I can’t help but feel all that likely came out of his an other students back pockets, as the state has only been cutting funding for public universities. And yes I realize this has more than one cause, but virtually unlimited student allows allow a large portion of the out of control tuition costs.
it's a bit of a hack but the web UI of ChatGPT has a limited amount of memories you can use to customize your interactions with it.
Also note that "often found in raw milk" is only kind of accurate. We've never detected lysteria on our dairy. Both our environmental swabs and raw milk cheese samples have always been negative.

We'd consider it a serious problem if we detected it anywhere (drains, door sills, etc).
The first puzzle is pretty cool, I had no idea C# can do that.

For the second, the given answer is definitely cheating. On the other hand, I definitely had no idea any of that existed. IMO it'd have been cleaner to 'simply' modify the running program instead.

What does HN think about AI?
I’ve created an interactive site showcasing the results of an online survey about AI. My hope is that this site could serve as a snapshot of public sentiment about AI, a sort of historical artifact for our time.

So far, only 15 random people have responded, but I thought it might be interesting to hear perspectives from the HN community as well! If you have a moment, I’d love for you to check it out and share your thoughts.

I’m also open to suggestions on how to improve the site or what else I could add to make it more engaging or insightful.
The "standardization" of C++, SQL, et al. are some of the most catastrophic examples of premature abstraction in software development.

Programming languages benefit far more from a robust implementation, tooling, and good technical documentation (which may read like a standard) than from a prescriptive standard. The latter generates enormous waste, for what?
I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be a concept of payments or monetization baked into the protocol. I believe there are some major companies to be built around making data and API actions available to AI Models, either as an intermediary or marketplace or for service providers or data owners directly- and they'd all benefit from a standardised payment model on a per transaction level.
Me too.

105K RMB yearly is close to or above average even in the above cities.

for some state the minimum wage can be $15 or higher, this is wayyyy better than China.
