Oh boy… This is a sentiment a large portion of workers feel, and a large portion of workers aren’t remote.

I don’t think this is necessarily something to lose sleep over.

Sure, a completely untrained 6ft+ 200lbs male.

Try to get someone under 150lbs that weight untrained and they’d be immovable objects.

How much more useful would it be to get multiple people to label data?

Ask HN: How important is labeling for ML algorithms?

canaus — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 16:42:42 +0000

Trying to understand the depth and necessity of labeling for an algorithm, specifically having people or other algorithms label and check the labeling of data.

Do the data sets need to be labeled extensively every time an algorithm needs to be trained? How often does a new data set need to be labeled, is it only with novel data?

Music searching was work but music recommendation was second to only older YouTube.

Both of those platforms steered users in such a nuanced and strange way which platforms like Spotify and Apple Music couldn’t capture.

It might not be an unsolvable problem, but it is a problem that is apparent currently in the technologies that we use.

New comment by canaus in "Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling"

canaus — Sun, 03 Jul 2022 17:49:29 +0000

So is it safe to say that this tool is mostly trying to solve the developer experience side of front-end development, instead of trying to create a "new" technology such as SSR?

I've just mostly seen "fast" and "HMR" as the features of Vite, but I can't see a team switching over an entire project just to solve something that was probably decently "solved" to begin with.

When your team members are done with their sprint work, do they help with work on the tickets within the sprint or do they pickup items from the backlog?

What would you prefer?

> If anyone care to actually learn how git works when rebasing, then it becomes much simpler.

That's a very arbitrarily vague answer. It's very easy to hand-wave the misuse of a tool just by saying "you don't know it well enough". It's much harder to admit that maybe the tool is just difficult to use in the first place.

I'd really like to know what mess people make when they don't rebase.

I've found that using merge gives a readable trail of when something was merged, whether that be from a branch's original branch, or if you're merging into another branch.

Rebasing just seems to cause a lot more headache when something doesn't go perfectly correct in between commits.

Yea, I agree with you. I pull out my MapQuest directions and everyone thinks I'm crazy. There's really nothing better than hard-copy directions because you have to truly know where you're going.

I don't really care though since I can barely hear them over my cassette tapes blaring through my sound-system and the wind blowing through my manual windows.

New comment by canaus in "Amino acids found in asteroid samples collected by Japan's Hayabusa2 probe"

canaus — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 16:00:06 +0000

I'm pulling information from an introductory astronomy class, but isn't the definition of what lot of time passing is, not agreed upon?

/The Five Ages of the Universe/ by Adams and Laughlin theorize that new stars won't stop forming until trillions (possibly hundreds of trillions) of years after the universe's inception. We're currently on years 14-15 billion. If their theories are true we'd be, arguably, one of the first instances of intelligent life in the universe.

Now, some astronomers theorize that the universe will end in 5 - 15 billion years, so that would change the timeline substantially.

Someone, somewhere, just called out bingo.

Do you have any data to back up the various claims in this comment?

A misstep -- amongst many in this comment -- is that you're implying that 82% of the graduating class is of a protected identity group. Is that true?

Are there any resources on how to move from developer to product X role?

I've realized I'm more interesting in creating solutions and ways to make them better than coding them, but the path to get from A to B seems muddied.

I think they're saying that they're not mutually exclusive.

I agree, using the argument of "x is a tool for illegal activities" is brittle because you could say that about literally anything.

You could attribute the same thing to Amazon and Google gift cards being used in scams.
