Lots of great questions!

> Does your team and department taking of analytics primarily on the footballing side? Like player performance?

Yes, we work primarily on the footballing side and across the spectrum in that space: Player/team performance for the men's first team, women's first team, and boys academy age groups U16 and up, player recruitment / squad planning, etc.

> How does your teams work typically get incorporated

We produce a mix of interactive tools, regular static reports (e.g. opposition analysis, post-match analysis, etc.), and live dashboards that come from specific stakeholder requests such as coaching staff or execs, or that we build proactively to address a specific football-related question.

> what does the day to day look like?

It really varies from day to day and role to role within the team. A data engineer might be adding another data provider to an entity resolution ETL pipeline, a research scientist might be incorporating feedback from first team coaching staff into a work-in-progress model, a data analyst might be putting together an in-depth opposition analysis report for an upcoming match, and an operations analyst might be helping train operators on a new data labeling task.

> Do you manage your own tech stack as well?

We do manage most of our tech stack, although we get a lot of support on front-end from a great sister team in the IT dept.

The “curator’s rationale” page maybe sheds some light on that, indirectly.

That Wikenigma aims to be about “known unknowns” and igniting curiosity. While Wikipedia is about gathering knowledge (“known knowns”). Possibly.

https://wikenigma.org.uk/curators_rationale

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia

Although Wikipedia also has articles covering known unknowns.

I guess a reason for having Wilenigma is that it’s a place you can go and explore many different known unknowns without getting sucked into articles about known knowns. Possibly.

For example, both Wikenigma and Wikipedia have features for jumping to a random article. If you are looking specifically for known unknowns, it would be much better to use the link for random article on Wikenigma than on Wikipedia.

I am reminded of an animation I one time saw about a guy that was collecting questions. I can’t find it now, but if anyone knows which one I’m thinking of, please link it. I think watching that short animation illustrates a similar kind of idea to what seems to be the idea behind Wikenigma.
> Something else that DeepSeek can do, which I am not saying they are/will, is they could train on questionable material like stolen source code and other things that would land you in deep shit in other countries.

I don't think that's true.

There's no scenario where training on the entire public internet is deemed fair use but training on leaked private code is not, because both are ultimately the same thing (copyright infringement allegations)

And it's not even something I just made up, the law explicitly says it:

"The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."[0]

Read carefully, "...have prompted many researchers..." To change the text, one would need to change the minds of all of the many researchers, and have them administer retractions. Argue over what happened in that year, I guess, but the fact remains that the genetic clock of viral mutation does not stop unless a virus is kept in storage. Also, was the year of mutational change accrued from 1976 to 1977 or from 1918 to 1919? Either way, no question, the virus that caused the 1977 Russian flu spent time in a lab.

There have been two other spillover events from coronaviruses in the last 30 years. One of those (SARS) was from Chinese wet markets.

Wuhan has a population of 13 million. It would be surprising if the city didn't have a lab doing virus research.
In my experience, "not supported" has a wide range of meanings from "next to impossible" to "we just don't want you to", so that wouldn't deter a human either (and I have interpreted it to mean "challenge accepted" several times), but the latter would be unlikely to hallucinate non-existent features.
Here I can spell it out for you. The second sentence from my first post:

> malice from those in power isn't necessarily something we can always expect to protect against, and at most only mitigate.

That's the central point/argument. To drag out the conclusion here, do we even want government institutions that continue to function once the executive pulls funding from them? Ignoring whether it should be expected, are we really at a point where we are saying "look I know I intentionally pulled the funding but I want it to keep working anyway!"

By hey if you want to go back to speaking to the ad homs (of which I've delivered many that you clearly deserve at this point), or continuing to fail to understand metaphors, be my guest, but don't pretend you're actually engaging with the argument.

No it wouldn't imply that at all. The same animals ending up in wet markets could have ended up in labs. Nothing to imply it was engineered, which is a whole other level of culpability. Sucks that so many people are itching to make this leap.
> In a world where karma/upvotes/etc actually does contribute to reputation, it seems unfair and arbitrary.

For the most part I think it doesn’t happen that much on HN. There are maybe a handful of people that I recognize by name because of their volume of comments. But I don’t normally look at or consider how much karma someone has or hasn’t got when I read random comments from random people.

HN took steps specifically to avoid some of the negative effects of karma influencing how comments are perceived by removing the display of how many points each comment has in the discussion under each post.

Usually the only time I click through to someone’s profile specifically to look at their karma is if they said something that seemed purposefully inflammatory and I’m wondering if they have a habit of trolling (and therefore have very low karma), or if it was just a one-off thing that maybe came out wrong or maybe they’re just having a particularly bad day today. Or maybe I’m even just misinterpreting as inflammatory what was not meant like that by them.

But if you do want to know how much karma those that have the most have, since you’re bringing up the topic of karma, there’s also this:

I never said it works against all drones. It is a valid option that has shown efficacy. In the context of this thread (one's home/property), it seems reasonably applicable, and in many locations, more likely to be legal than many alternatives.

What a weird point of view. I assume that asking your SO if they’re upset because she’s on her period, you might start to have a good idea of why your SO isn’t happy.

I’d rather be the person I want to be in a relationship, than play weird games about whose happiness matters more, like it’s a competition. But you do you.

As for the pardons, many were just commutations. They did 3 years or whatever in prison by now. And many full pardons were just misdemeanors for trespassing or whatever anyway. It make more sense to focus on specific people who were violent and got away with nothing.

You would expect, as was the case with SARS, that we would then find the population of infected animals. That did not happen with COVID, and in fact when we went looking, the closest virus in a wild population was a bat coronavirus located 1000 miles away.
I don't. Google's Android support has just slowly eroded away all the Linux benefits with layers and layers of user hostile "security" without the benefits (i.e. backing up my phone to Google doesn't mean a new phone will one-click recover itself to how it was).
If it was "born from unhappiness with the status quo" why not join forces with Void Linux?
Plenty of NUC hardware is pretty beefy, most more tough than most of those gaming handhelds. I've dropped a couple of Intel NUCs down concrete stairs and they only got a few scratches. They've also had really good Linux support for ages, and had Intel's Iris Pro GPUs for a while. Unsure they'd really fit your needs though. AMD sells a number of APU boards though, they've got modern GPUs. Still not breaking any benchmarks though.

Also, those gaming handhelds are pretty power and temperature limited. They're often a good bit less powerful than a halfway decent gaming laptop, just a more convenient form factor for portable gaming.
For a game, I would maybe use Protobuf and grpc. There is serialization and deserializarion required. Something like flatbuffers or capnproto where the wireformat matches language data layout makes for extremely efficient parsing (though it may not be as network efficient). Really depends on how you structure your data.

That I've been hearing this for several years straight without any exponential increase in the capability of the technology makes me assume this is false.

You are in a historical period where industries are largely monopolized and are notably hostile to those who earn the largest salaries.

The community isn't going anywhere. AI can't replace our need to connect with and achieve large advancements with each other. The golden era of computing has been dwarfed by commercial concerns, but it has not, and will never disappear entirely.

One of the side benefits of using the FreeBSD userland is all the flags will be consistent regardless of the of program. ‘-l’ or ‘-a’ are going to do what you expect irrespective of the command. It’s nice, and I used free for along while. I still know BSD syntax better than the SystemV equivalent.
Show HN: Upload Images to R2 by URL
I recently ran into an interesting challenge while building Next Idea NewTab. The app needs to display logos from various third-party websites, and initially, I was using Google's favicon service. However, users from some countries reported they couldn't access Google's services, resulting in broken logos.

Looking for a solution, I decided to incorporate Cloudflare R2 into my workflow. That's how Image URL Converter was born - a simple tool that lets you paste an image URL and automatically uploads it to R2. You can either use the UI directly or integrate the API into your own projects.

Now all images in Next Idea NewTab are served through R2, ensuring stable access globally. No more broken images!
The guides at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola are incredible at what they do, and they were the first to introduce me to this story.

I was thinking maybe it's a way to save some bytes, like people used to do with undocumented opcodes in 6502 programs.
There are some theories from my side:

1. Stargate is just another strategic deception like Star Wars. It aims to mislead China into diverting vast resources into an unattainable, low-return arms race, thereby hindering its ability to focus on other critical areas.

2. We must keep producing more and more GPUs. We must eat GPUs at breakfast, lunch, and dinner — otherwise, the bubble will burst, and the consequences will be unbearable.

3. Maybe it's just a good time to let the bubble burst. That's why Wall Street media only noticed DeepSeek-R1 but not V3/V2, and how medias ignored the LLM price war which has been raging in China throughout 2024.

If you dig into 10-Ks of MSFT and NVDA, it’s very likely the AI industry was already overcapacity even before Stargate. So in my opinion, I think #3 is the most likely.

Just some nonsense — don't take my words seriously.
NUCs are basically office machines though, I don't think any of them have the kind of graphics capabilities of a Legion Go, for example.

There are SFF PCs a little bigger than NUCs that do have strong graphics but they're crazy expensive.

I remember watching the movie War Games (1983 film) and even as a kid when they announced nuclear missiles had been launched and "confidence is high" I thought "That's a really good way to indicate that there are indications that something might be happening, AND indicate how much you believe it when you talk about things that you can't confirm."
what I read basically is Jensen bullied Huang into buying more GPUs and embracing the AI crapware.
Why don't you just answer the question? A lab leak makes China look incompetent.

It means sick animals infecting lab staff. It doesn't make it look malicious, it doesn't mean engineered bioweaponry, actively playing with fire or any other unsupported conspiracy nonsense.
I don't think it's an attack on China. It's a political attack on Fauci, who became public enemy #1 for conservatives early in the pandemic. They've been looking for reasons to blame him (oh, who just incidentally helped protect those dirty gay people during the AIDS crisis), and now our President has stripped him of security detail and announced he wouldn't feel responsible if something bad happened to him.
