41,795,801 | comment | mindentropy | 2024-10-10T05:25:07 | null | I understand where you are coming from, especially with the data. As I grew older I rarely trust data as it is not independent, manipulated or given a false view. It should be supported by physical evidences which is often missing.<p>An anecdotal evidence, a large semiconductor in Germany with fabs is moving to "best" cost countries and the message provided is clear by the management. Positions are moved to "best" cost countries and new offices in these locations are being opened. Support jobs i.e. back office, accounting etc are in the process first. R&D is next and many engineers have taken the hint. The biggest customers for them is automotive as is usually the case for most of the German companies. If automotive market falls then they are in serious trouble. Make what you want out of this. | null | null | 41,786,192 | 41,785,265 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,806 | comment | pclmulqdq | 2024-10-10T05:25:38 | null | I have been learning classical singing (opera, oratorios, etc) with no previous voice training. I think I am fine, and I can get low-paying gigs, but nothing big. I also did the process of becoming an ok composer a while ago (a few public performances of my work, etc), and the same advice applies.<p>I do have significant musical training and experience. The prior music training does help, but it mostly just helps me figure out when something is wrong, not how to fix it.<p>I have three tips:<p>1. Find a teacher or group you click with. Music instruction is 1:1 because it doesn't scale well, but visual arts you can do with a studio. A teacher will really help since most forms of art are subjective enough that you may not know what you are doing well or poorly and that feedback is very valuable.<p>2. Do your art every day, even for 15-30 min. Inspiration starts with doing, not the other way around.<p>3. Try to be better than you were yesterday. Practice things you are bad at, and consciously do projects to improve yourself. There is no competition here except with yourself yesterday.<p>A final one:<p>IMO the notion of "talent" for the arts is just how people cope with the fact that the best and brightest in that field did more work than them. I had several friends who were "talented" pianists growing up, several of whom are concert artists now. All of them worked their asses off 5-6 hours a day to become "talented." It took me a while longer, but I eventually became a "talented" harpsichord player in my early 20s. Go at your own pace and don't give up and you will also eventually be "talented." | null | null | 41,756,978 | 41,756,978 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,814 | comment | travisgriggs | 2024-10-10T05:27:10 | null | Ah, the contract relationship. Minimize your output while maximizing your ROI. I think this works fine if you plan on being in the software "service" industry, kind of like the plumber. It helps if job mobility/demand is high so that when the "product" decisions tank the company/product, you just shrug and move on. That's what the plumber would do. In fact, if your customer does the stupid thing, and ends up having to have you come back to pay even more money, hoorah, more money. It's a reverse incentive. Do it enough, and you'll be just like Boeing and the US Government. I've also observed that this type of relationship tends to cause people to optimize short term over mid to long term.<p>Where this deteriorates (imo), is if you're in it for additional reasons other than only the money, but want to build quality things, make the world a better place, yada yada. Or perhaps you like the company and what they do, or something about your job, and actually depend on long term viability. By somewhat strained analogy, imagine the plumber works for a housing co op, and they themselves live there. Suddenly, the plumber becomes a bit more coupled to the choices of "product" or the customers. Poor decisions could devalue the neighborhood and your own resale value, or even damage your own property. | null | null | 41,794,566 | 41,794,566 | null | [

41,795,818 | comment | Animats | 2024-10-10T05:27:35 | null | Overview of guardrails - reasonably good video. [1]<p>Motor Trend: "America's vehicles are fat, and its guardrails suck."[2] Motor Trend is critical of the U.Texas tests, because they didn't test larger gas-powered trucks.
The current guardrail test weight for pickup trucks is 5000 pounds. That was increased from 4500 pounds in 2019. Current Ford F-150 trucks can be over 7,000 pounds, empty. The Rivian EV pickup is listed as 7,148 lbs. The Hummer EV is over 9000 lbs.<p>Guardrails have ratings - TL1 through TL6. TL3 is most common. That's the 5000 pound pickup truck level. The standard test is not straight-on; it's 45 degrees. After all, these things are alongside roads, and are rarely hit straight on at high speed.<p>The last big problem with guardrails was collisions with guardrail ends, especially at freeway offramps. There are good solutions for that in place now. Take a good look at the high-traffic Interstate offramp you see. There are various different crushable systems used, and they work reasonably well. The main problem is replacing them after use. They're a consumable.<p>Low center of gravity is a big problem. Guardrail heights have been increased over the last few decades as cars got bigger. Low-CG electrics push their way under. Notice, though, that the Tesla test resulted in the vehicle traveling parallel to the guardrail after the vehicle went under it. Enough energy was absorbed to redirect the vehicle. The Rivian went clear through.<p>Maybe for pickups above some weight drivers should have to have a commercial driver's license, the one you need to drive a real truck.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6CKltZfToY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6CKltZfToY</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/news/guardrail-safety-study-evs-popular-trucks-suvs/" rel="nofollow">https://www.motortrend.com/news/guardrail-safety-study-evs-p...</a> | null | null | 41,794,912 | 41,794,912 | null | [

41,795,824 | comment | jonathanlydall | 2024-10-10T05:29:20 | null | It is true that there is an interplay between bandwidth utilization and latency.<p>However (assuming no prioritisation), if your bandwidth is at least double your video conference bandwidth requirements then a download shouldn’t significantly affect the video conference since TCP tends to be fair between streams.<p>Even when I was on a 10Mb/s line I found gaming and voice was generally fine even with a download.<p>However, if you’re using peer to peer (like BitTorrent), then that is utilizing dozens or hundreds of individual TCP streams and then your video conference bandwidth getting equal amount per all other streams is too slow.<p>Bufferbloat exacerbates high utilisation symptoms because it confounds the TCP algorithms which struggle to find the correct equalibrium due to “erratic” feedback on if you’re transmitting too much.<p>It’s like queuing in person at a government office and not being able to see past a door or corner how bad the queue really is, if you could see it’s bad you might come back later, but because you can’t you stand a while on the queue only to realize quite a bit later you’ll have to wait much longer than you initially expected, but if you’d known upfront it would be bad you might have opted to come back later when it’s more quiet. Most people feel that since they’ve sunk the time already they may as well wait as long as it takes, further keeping the queue long.<p>Higher throughput would help, but just knowing ahead that now’s a bad time would help a lot too.<p>I do wish most consumer ISPs supported deprioritising packets of my choice, which would allow you to download things heavily at low priority and your video call would be fine. | null | null | 41,795,259 | 41,793,658 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,840 | comment | zaptheimpaler | 2024-10-10T05:31:25 | null | I have studied science and engineering in school and college and know what constitutes a scientific theory. Part of it is that it has to make empirically falsifiable predictions. This was taught in a 101 level biology course im taking online now as well, it's not rocket science. That's all it takes to decipher this as quackery. There are many concepts that rhyme with "computational irreducibility" some of which I mentioned before, as I said this kind of thing is obvious after taking a few undergrad level courses. Further this idea makes no new predictions or insights. You're focused on qualifications but whats true is true and whats false is false regardless of who says it. If you read over his Wikipedia [1] page, you will see similar sentiments said by more "qualified" people:<p>"The book was met with skepticism and criticism that Wolfram took credit for the work of others and made conclusions without evidence to support them."<p>"Physicists are generally unimpressed with Wolfram's claim, and state that Wolfram's results are non-quantitative and arbitrary"<p>If you really truly believe that a person cannot know a thing without a qualification or that anyone with a "qualification" must know more, i think you should really reconsider that view. What exactly are Wolfram's qualifications in the field of science, and how are they looked upon by others in that field? How many cases of unqualified outsiders to fields making huge contributions that the rest missed? What are the financial incentives around Masters programs in universities, the difficulty of courses in an average M.S program compared to the undergrad, and what does that say about the supposedly higher qualification? How many cases of scientific fraud uncovered recently by eminent, respected people? "Nullius in verba" is the heart of science and deferral to authority can sometimes be opposed to it.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolfram" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolfram</a> | null | null | 41,785,747 | 41,782,534 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,845 | comment | wakawaka28 | 2024-10-10T05:32:39 | null | It is a fine line to walk. However, I think one easy not filtering solution might be to sell a cryptographic solution on the open market for a price high enough that it would be infeasible to fake that. Think of it like X's premium feature but with no credit card involved. Imagine going to Target or Best Buy, smacking down a hundred dollar bill, and getting your "trusted human level $100" token. You could then use the thing to register an anonymous account anywhere you like, and the price(s) of your token(s) could even be public (in case someone did decide to pay a high price for tons of fake bot accounts, you could potentially detect it). You would have to still prevent the thing from being linked to your real identity, but that should be doable. It would also be possible for these accounts to vouch for each other. So, you know, you get some web-of-trust type of fuzzy feeling about various accounts.<p>Now that I think of it, maybe this can be done with TLS certs, although I don't know any CA that can take anonymous payment. | null | null | 41,795,104 | 41,794,517 | null | [

If A and B are normalized, A.A=B.B=1.<p>For Pearson Correlation, we would just need to center and scale A and B as a pre-processing step. | null | null | 41,764,373 | 41,764,373 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,850 | comment | serbuvlad | 2024-10-10T05:34:29 | null | > Is it a chroot issue?<p>Yes. In my particular case I was setting up a server for some non-technical users to share files with me via FileZilla. So I use ChrootDirectory %h to restrict users to their home directory. Even if it wouldn't be a security issue to omit this, my users would be confused by seeing the whole /usr, /bin, /var etc. directory hierarchy show up in FileZilla. And even if they could learn their way around it, I don't <i>want</i> them to see the whole directory hierarchy. I just want them to see their own files.<p>Granted, this could be solved by symlinks if SFTP provided a way other than chroot to change the user-perceived home directory. But the fact that mount --bind works across filesystem namespace changes makes it more robust and useful in my book. | null | null | 41,790,475 | 41,785,595 | null | null | null | null |

The basic idea is to prove that .upgrade().unwrap() and .borrow() never panic. This isn't all that much harder than what the borrow checker does. If you have the rule that the return value from those functions must stay within the scope where they are created, then what has to be proven is that no two such scopes for the same RefCell overlap. Sometimes this will be easy; sometimes it will be hard. A reasonable first cut would be to check that no such scopes overlap for a specific type, anywhere. That's rather conservative. If you can prove that, you don't need the checking. So it's an optimization. | null | null | 41,793,613 | 41,791,773 | null | null | null | null |

Some have technical capabilities and they'll be just fine with your model: they can deploy and monitor and use it within their systems. They may or may not have monitoring and you'll probably have to deal with drift as time goes by.<p>Others will want to interact with some interface (REST API or something).<p>Some will want an entire application specifically for a role/department: front-end, user management, etc.<p>And some will just want to use it and you deal with everything. Have you thought of making a product for that niche, so it's not just the model and the pipeline, but a whole application that solves this niche's problem? | null | null | 41,795,480 | 41,795,480 | null | [

Also, the more painful the problem that drives a need the more likely you will make the sale.<p>I had the benefit of learning this before I ever went to University by working sales jobs while in High School, and boy has it made my life easier not only as a programmer but also in nearly any collaboration with co-workers.<p>Don't recite features and benefits, that's just lazily hoping the person you're trying to convince will do your job for you. Take the time to ask enough questions to know and understand their needs. If the thing you're pitching can at least fit, and preferably help solve, some of those needs then you have a good chance of getting them to buy in. If, on the other hand, it doesn't address a need they have then you're going to struggle to convince them... and perhaps that may also be a clue that your solution may not actually be the best way to go. | null | null | 41,795,621 | 41,794,566 | null | [

They stress the need for collaboration between AI engineers and domain experts to enhance the relevance and accuracy of AI outputs. The podcast introduces Argilla and the Distilabel tools, which facilitate detailed data annotation, supporting AI workflows for tasks such as text classification. It also highlights the significance of iterative development processes in AI, starting with small datasets and refining models over time based on performance feedback. Challenges in fine-tuning large AI models are discussed, pointing out resource-intensive demands and expertise requirements. The speakers advocate for smaller models for specific use cases, citing cost-effectiveness and manageability. User-friendly interfaces within AI development frameworks, such as UI and SDK, are also discussed as ways to democratize AI tools, making them accessible to non-technical users. Additionally, the integration of semantic search capabilities is touched upon, enhancing data retrieval and usability. | null | null | 41,795,883 | 41,795,883 | null | null | null | null |
41,795,885 | comment | trollbridge | 2024-10-10T05:39:50 | null | A while ago we did a site for a nonprofit focused on domestic violence.<p>We preloaded Kohl’s (a department store sort of retailer in America) and fiddled with the safety exit button to make sure Kohl’s came up really quickly. If we would have worked on the site longer, I would have a done a rotation of a couple of different stereotypical shopping websites. (Kohl’s was picked by the organisations’s executive director who, unfortunately, had plenty of first hand experience with domestic violence.) | null | null | 41,793,597 | 41,793,597 | null | null | null | null |
41,795,886 | comment | HaZeust | 2024-10-10T05:40:08 | null | Wouldn't it be something like:<p>"Treasury officials found that the data wasn’t erroneous, though they are legally forbidden to discuss tax filings."<p>The problem with the original text was that the rule that the officials had was said BEFORE the main point about what they found - which is why the "officials" were brought up in the first place.<p>This one states the important part of what they found, and then gave the addendum that they have a rule that adds a conditional to the nature of sharing the finding.<p>English is weird, by the way. | null | null | 41,794,141 | 41,780,569 | null | null | null | null |

CGI can be any type of code responding to an individual web request, represented as a set of parameters. It has basically nothing to do with wasm which is meant to be a universal code representation for a universal virtual machine. Have I missed something? | null | null | 41,795,561 | 41,795,561 | null | [

Publishers were unable to show any harm, and the only evidence available proved they actually benefited from better sales thanks to the Internet Archive. Authors were clearly benefited.

they got their own skeletons in the garden but at the same time Google have failed so many times with their attempts to gain a foothold in a lot of different markets.<p>And others they have either competed with other big tech such as Microsoft or Apple, or just is a player in the race.<p>Compared to say Amazon, Apple, meta or heaven forbid Microsoft that is.<p>I do think though if they get broken up then I'm fine with Google getting nuked and we all collectively wag the finger against the employees. | null | null | 41,784,287 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,894 | comment | kelnos | 2024-10-10T05:41:35 | null | > <i>All of the sudden, they're this amazing benefit for society.</i><p>No, they're an amazing benefit to <i>your business</i>. I'm sure your candles are great, but society doesn't need them (your candles, specifically) to survive. People would continue to find candles without your advertisements. Maybe candles that aren't as nice as yours, but people will get by just fine, and wouldn't know (or care) what they were missing.<p>> <i>Advertisements can be good (when the business is good and genuinely wants you to know about good new product)</i><p>Advertising is emotional manipulation. Why do I need to know about good products, even genuinely good ones? If I have an actual, articulated need for something, I can go out and look for it. But if I'm not actually looking for something, but someone advertises to me and convinces me to buy their thing, likely I would have gotten along just fine without it.<p>> <i>An optimist would say there are more good than bad. I suppose you wouldn't consider yourself an optimist.</i><p>False dichotomy. Whether there are more good companies that honestly try to hawk their wares, or more bad companies that try to trick people into buying their garbage, is irrelevant. Advertising is a blight on society.<p>The thing that really makes my stomach churn, though, is that if I ran a company, I'd absolutely advertise. It's the prisoner's dilemma. Because advertising exists and others will use it, I can't opt out of using it myself. I feel super gross about this fact. | null | null | 41,793,452 | 41,784,287 | null | [

41,795,895 | comment | akkad33 | 2024-10-10T05:41:40 | null | I would be pleasantly surprised if they manage to do that. The current type checkers of Python, as useful as they are, hit the limit pretty fast, because of its extremely dynamic nature and the type system struggling to type check valid expressions. The number of times I've seen common pandas and numpy code not type check | null | null | 41,791,272 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

41,795,899 | comment | nstart | 2024-10-10T05:42:21 | null | Yes. I can without reservation, recommend Brent Eviston's "art and science of drawing" series. Best taken via skillshare (grab a discount code from some YouTuber if you are trying it for the first time) . I didn't take his drawing laboratory series since it hadn't been released at the time. That said, just follow his courses in order:<p>- Basic Skills / Getting Started with Drawing<p>- Dynamic Mark Making / Drawing with Expression & Creativity<p>- Form & Space / 3D Drawing & Perspective<p>- Measuring & Proportion / Drawing with Accuracy & Precision<p>- Contours / Drawing with Compelling Contours & Foreshortening<p>At this point, I recommend picking up drawabox.com as well to engage with practice a little differently. It draws from a school of thought that is present in the book "How to Draw" by Scott Robertson. That book is a little more advanced and I'd recommend it only if you are deep enough into understanding drawabox.com (PS: recommend trying but then moving on from the texturing chapter if it feels too hard to understand. It sticks out like a sore thumb because it requires understanding of light tbh. Texture doesn't just exist. We perceive most of it because of light and shadow)<p>Brent's work continues though while you do drawabox:<p>- Shading Fundamentals / Drawing with Dramatic Light and Shadow<p>- Shading Beyond the Basics / Shade Any Subject No Matter How Complex<p>Once you are done with this, it really depends on where you want to go. You should be far along in drawabox where you doing constructional drawing. This is actually a good point to see if you can also do the texture challenge.<p>At this point you can decide on your thing. Maybe drawing figures is your thing (Again, Brent's art and science of figure drawing is the best resource out there). Maybe only a bit. Maybe you want to paint digitally? Meds map by Ahmed Aldoori is the best resource there is. If you manage to finish that, anything from Marco Bucci on skillshare is brilliant. If you have more specific desires on physical mediums, check out proko, but also double check the courses since some of the instructors sell the courses on proko at higher prices than they do on udemy or gumroad. If you don't care for the community aspect of proko, you can buy it cheaper sometimes from elsewhere. Lastly, on anything related to animals, Aaron Blaise's creatureartteacher website is a gold mine. Wait for sales though since you can get an all access pass for a huge discount during those times.<p>Good luck! Feel free to mail me if you want to discuss more :) | null | null | 41,756,978 | 41,756,978 | null | null | null | null |
