I don't think the posted algorithm is particularly novel, but the algorithm you cite is deeply different. Also I note the only thing you have posted before is a link to this paper in particular.

I think there's an issue with the histogram rendering in this post. The rapid descent from the spike on the left is not consistent with high ECDF impact and the apparent binning resolution visible in the piecewise line-segments. In gen

The new TaskFlow API has been part of AirFlow 2.0 since its release in 2020: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/tutori...

AirFlow 2 was released in 2020. You're saying you knew that these issues were fixed, and then an article is published on your webpage in 2022 knowingly comparing against the technical properties of a major version release 2 years behin

FYI some of the Airflow issues are out of date / can be resolved with config changes. AirFlow 2 is designed to support larger XCOM messages, so the guidance to only use it for small data no longer applies. Your DAG construction overhea

I don't think it's correct to think of a laser as a source in some thermal equilibrium. "Concentrating temperature" passively from sources in thermal equilibrium is forbidden, but there's nothing preventing "co

Have we found diseases that could propagate across the world either (1) with virality greatly in excess of modern diseases, i.e. R0 >> omicron or (2) untreatable/curable and potentially latent for weeks to months? A disease capab

Obvious no-true-scotsman. Believing that the goal of crypto is to circumvent laws regarding possession and theft is at most a fringe belief. The fact that this is at the top of HN demonstrates how devoid of merit crypto discussion here is.

I think in mechanical metamaterials the characteristic length defining the "metamaterial region" is rather the wavelength of pressure waves in the material you're considering - much like in electromagnetics you want the patte

The sample distribution of viruses is incredibly important for this sort of analysis, and much of the argument here only makes sense through the lens of uniform virus sequencing. If you have imbalanced sequencing and imbalanced transmission

I've been investigating Julia AD recently - really hoping for arbitrary code diff, but nothing really works right now. How broad will Diffractor's support of the language be? E.g. will it support mutation / exceptions /

Renting housing is generally not rent-seeking - that's exactly my point. If a property goes up for sale one can (1) choose to invest capital to purchase it, and (2) offer a contract for housing at a managed property to people who can&#

The economic concept of "rent-seeking" as it's used now has relatively little to do with rental contracts as they pertain to housing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking E.g.: "The classic ex

Staking is not any more rent seeking than mining is. Stakers calculate and propagate valid new states for the chain. I also don't see anything entrenching or perpetual about it. It's not as though increased mining efficiency provi

I keep seeing the argument that Proof of Stake is more centralizing than Proof of Work, but it doesn't really add up with what I'm seeing in practice - Bitcoin mining centralized heavily around cheap electricity sources and compan

I think the issue most have with the "no external stake" is that there was a common misunderstanding regarding Bitcoin value propagated for a while - that is, the cost of the consensus mechanism (compute + electricity) defines the

I don't particularly care to rebut the author point by point, but "asset valuation" is an extremely common term that anybody discussing the properties of a novel currency should understand: https://www.investopedia

Why do unsophisticated, redundant, vitriolic takes like this get upvoted on HN so much? Is there some common ax to grind here? The strongest point here is the strawman presentation of the altered security model that PoS can be proven to for

The problem with literal conspiracies is that the probability of public disclosure increases exponentially with the number of people who are "in" on the conspiracy. This is why a priori one typically assigns low likelihood to the

Do you believe animals literally conspired to transmit to humans? I believe what you're describing is rather "the coordinated malevolent animal transmission theory".

If taxes affect upside for investors (especially in large gain outcomes) then it would definitely reduce rational risk appetite. Say it's rational for some untaxed investor to take a chance on 1% on no less than $10M return. If after t

If the lab leak was real, covering it up to the extent they did requires a literal conspiracy (not to mention hypothetical function gain research). In the absence of concrete evidence, it is quite literally a conspiracy theory.

Are you implying that startup success in America requires exploitation of workers? I don't think most people would consider the management of early employees at successful startups to be "exploitative". Most of them are heavi

1) Less upside for entrepreneurs/investors/early employees due to tax policy, 2) greater hiring/firing friction due to stronger employee protections, 3) greater fixed operating costs/overhead all around due to increased

If this perspective of "startup failure is a deep moral sin insufficiently penalized by the government" is common in Europe then the lack of entrepreneurship is not very surprising.

I understand the argument that medical associations intentionally limit supply to prop up their own salaries. I don't think there's sufficient evidence to demonstrate that's a critical factor. Any form of licensing "fric

I think the thesis should actually be the opposite. Computer science tells us that determining properties of the result of executing arbitrary code without actually executing it is extremely difficult (e.g. halting problem, static analyses

You probably want to compress your figures - I think your line plots are stored in some vector format. The paper is 30MB and rendering chokes on those ultra dense figures (and the data resolution is not buying you any information). If the f
