What's something I could buy today that'd be most likely considered a heirloom in the future?

None of the 10x engineers I know (maybe some are 5x) try that hard. They didn't need to be abused. They were just naturally good at coding. I don't believe you can abuse someone into 10x abilities.

Your first statement is true. But the Ratatouille quote applies here; "Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere " The majority don't prefer mediocrity. That's all they really c

When you dive deep into the math, many things are fundamentally the same. Superresolution is just glorified deconvolution. A single layer perceptron is a linear kernel SVM is a logistic regression. FFT is just factorisation.

Of course we are not ready yet to read the genome as if we know everything, but that's just a matter of time. You can't predict the environmental component of course but that still leaves 30-70% of every trait you have or will hav

What I mean is you can't do select * from table where ts_query(...) order by relevance_metric but instead do select * from ( select * from table where ts_query(...)

We use postgres fts and it works fine, you just gotta how you rank order the rows in the query - if you only use ts_rank then it's perfect but you likely want to use some other relevance metric to adjust the ranking but then you can&#x

Yeah I don't see how this is going to be enforced. I think it's safe to say, unless you go to extraordinary lengths to ensure your genome data is safe, don't get it sequenced. A genome is forever. Like way beyond your own lif

If you're comparing apples to apples similar size funds it still does matter - sure a16z is 300 partners but they share a culture and mission that evolves constantly and this will have a meaningful effect on your interaction with them.

I think my amygdala would have melted if I watched those movies back to back.

even taking your contrived example, you have to store it in the stupidest way possible to get that level of storage - even assuming your 1K of text is incompressible, you only have 1K unique values. The most basic compression algorithms wil

What difference does that make? Just curious since I thought of this as a viable safe idea to generate presigned s3 URL’s and send them by email to customers for a project..

I work with petabytes of data. A petabyte of text is an insane amount of text. You need a billion X multiplication of basic data. That’s not just combinatrionics, it’s deliberate obfuscation.

I’m not sure a more fundamental point is explained or addressed: when forming ad hoc networks like this do we expect anything different at all with human neurons ?

Great work in good direction. Need to pore over the data to see if the sensitivity and specificity numbers are in a good place. This is the world I imagine we need (or should have already had) for the next pandemic. Heck this is the type of

It’s not exactly rocket science to substantiate my position. Nyt regularly publishes opinion pieces from quite right wing people. Their editorial stance also often call out clearly problematic extreme left views (like Lea Thomas controversy

From Outside of this weird polarization/persecution fetish bubble a lot of Americans seem to be in, the nytimes seems to be doing a decent job trying to be centrist with a left tinge. If it looks too leftist, consider for a moment that

You are correct that in our world currently and maybe even in the past, the kids never truly learned math in school. I studied in the top university in my Indian province with 50 million people, and most of my undergrad colleagues truly did

This model only works if the away teams are the most competent people you have. Generally the “loaning” business is a cowardly way for teams to trade the worst engineers you have (bonus point if that engineer is someone who everyone praises
740.
by ramraj07 3y ago
This problem is mitigated if we assume competent engineering teams on both sides - the away team shouldn’t merge code without proper review of the code by the owner, for one, and the away team should go above and beyond in being diligent ab

I think killing animals and eating them is an extreme position too but it’s considered obnoxious to say that, so how is this any different?

Given the narrative and the place (HN) you’re saying, I’m betting you don’t use Google for storing your data either, but the vast majority of the world does. For someone who trusts Google I am almost there in how much I trust OpenAI to the

Could you simplify your point? I was an ardent marshmallow user and when I finally switched to pydantic, it felt like I finally sat down in my life after standing forever. The documentation sounds good enough to me, but importantly the inte

There are a bunch of labs that are making progress in reading the full nervous system (so to speak) realtime in live worms. I like especially the outputs from Andrew Leifer lab in Princeton. I anticipate some very interesting results to com

Google likely knows who they all are; imagine if it just kicks them off of all Google services lol.

As is customary for all of Apache, I have no clue what I’m looking at after trying to read through the links in that page for ten minutes. Like who is this tool for? When should I use this vs any other competing tools? No clue. I suppose it

Sounds like Dropbox has made the transition just fine. If you’re gonna ask me to pay a tenner a month you better give me what I think is the dollars worth of value. Dropbox did. Evernote did not. At least not for the vast majority of people

In a round worm, the neural structure is remarkably constant. The exact same number of neurons emerge and form the exact same network in every worm! But in each worm they might move a bit around slightly especially in their head region whic

by ramraj07 3y ago
I’d estimate We are 5 to 10 years away from somewhat deciding the effective connectome and “algorithms” of the roundworm which just has a few hundred neurons. We know every neuron in it by name and know how they all connect to each other, y
