Hi All,The problem with the modern classroom, as pointed out by Sal Kahn, is that students are forced to spend a fixed amount of time learning a particular topic, and then the whole class moves onto the next topic. It is highly like that a proportion of students will not have gained mastery of basic mathematical skills, making their maths journey increasingly painful until they throw their...
I'm looking for interactive simulations that show how a certain vaccination rate 'tips the scales' and keeps the whole community safe. Something like this but a little more user friendly (eg using sliders and slick animations):
Hi All,I'm talking with someone who is a bit 'uncertain' about getting their COVID vaccination. They are (fortunetely!) open to learning and want to understand how herd immunity works. What are the best simulators out there that show a nice graphical display of herd immunity in action?Thanks
Its the interesting use cases I'm trying to find - the kind of easily understandable case studies that make for a good narrative. Hence the reason for my post.
I dont need to worry about the technical details.
Hello HN,I am entering a role which requires me to advocate for increasing the use of Data Science within business/industry for my state.Data Science and Machine Learning became IT buzzwords a few years ago, and I've noticed that sometimes medium/large business will allocate funding for Data Science, but not really know what Data Science is, or how best it might add value to their business....
The utility of what you are offering is significant. If I'm a 'cost conscious' startup and I need CSV upload functionality then I either write the functionality myself (30+ hours of dev time + ongoing maintenance?) or I use your service.
If the product works as advertised, you could charge $19/month for a basic plan and that will always be better value than 30+ hrs of time a developer will have to put into the CSV problem with all its annoying edge cases.
My suggestion is to modify the free plan such that users can upload 10k+ rows per upload, but only 20-30 times per month. Then your 'cost conscious' startup with only 5 customers can test your solution, know that it works for non-trivial amounts of data, and happily fork out $19/month when they hit 20+ customers a month and become less 'cost conscious'.
Image libraries have done well, yet I feel music management has gone backwards.
>As I mentioned in another comment, you can also use a summary to define yourself. If you're applying for product owner jobs, you define yourself as a product owner with skills in web dev and ML. If you're applying for a web dev job, you define yourself as a web dev with skills in ML and product.
This is great advice. Make sure you still include all the roles in your CV to illustrate a consistent period of employment. Just highlight the aspects of each role that are most relevant to the position you are applying for. If a previous role is barely relevant, just summarize the experience in a couple of sentences.
The point is to make most of your CV relevant to the role. Dont make the employer hunt through your CV for relevant experience. Most people will make a snap judgement within a minute or two of scanning your CV. Make it easy for them.
I also think a summary is very important. Sum up your best points with some dot points at the top of your CV.
Are you aware of the players in Australia? There is Skymesh (owned by a UK company) but I'm not aware of other players in the Aus market.
Of all of the providers on your list - are any of them doing LEO constellations that are able to provide low latency in the way that Starlink can offer?
One might quibble about cost efficiencies and system capacity, but in the consumer market I cant see how you can argue with the physics advantage of being 50x closer to your customer!
It annoys me that I can not invest in these big bold innovations directly. Has anyone thought about how to invest indirectly on the belief that Starlink will succeed? For instance, are there satellite equipment suppliers or other upstream supplier who stand to profit with Starlink's success?
Likewise, who might fail based on Starlink's success? Should I be shorting Satellite based ISPs?
I'd like to second this methodology. It is a very effective approach. I've worked across multiple specialties within technology and I always tailor my CV to the job I am applying for. I highlight the most relevant experience and skills required and remove (or summarize) experience that is not relevant to the position.
Matching your CV to the job can be as simple as updating it to use the same keywords that you see on the job advert. It sounds trivial but many recruiters will filter job applications with a keyword search. If they dont see the exact keywords they are expecting, your CV will be thrown away.
Good luck!
Knowing who is looking at your profile (and hence who might be interviewing you for a new job) is incredibly useful information. Does this person have a technical or a business background? Do we know the same people from previous jobs? Do we have similar interests or did we go to the same school?
All of that information is very powerful when meeting someone for the first time and can give you that 5%-10% edge during an interview. It's the kind of information that allows you to make a great first impression.
I am not affiliated with LinkedIn but would recommend it to anyone struggling to find the right opportunity in the technology world.
How would you go about automating the unique count when you are sampling the video 3 times a second?
- Completely bypass any EM shielding / faraday cages designed to stop spies / bugs from transmitting information out of secure facilities
- Transmit information out of underground facilities or caves deep in Afghanistan without worrying about RF attenuation. Indeed, communicate anywhere in the world (or under the sea) without worrying about RF attenuation.
Bypassing the limitations of sending information by RF would be hugely advantageous for the military and intelligence services. The resources of the military industrial complex are staggering. What is the state of the art in unclassified technology regarding generating these waves and modulating them? What would be required to make such transmitters/receivers practical? A breakthrough in materials / fabrication technology? It sounds like the theory is solid, and it's a now an applied science problem?
Do you need any help with sales and marketing? I'd be interested in having a discussion if you'd prefer to focus on building things.
I prefer reading the original HN site because it loads fast, allows you to quickly scan topic titles, doesnt waste space in the layout, and has no animated elements that detract from the content.
What is your opinion on visual programming and diagramming libraries? Would you recommend particular libraries/services for visual programming if looking to build this type of UX/UI into a new product?
I'm interested in building a service that utilises a basic visual programming interface but I have no interest in building out a complex visual programming / diagramming UI toolset myself.
Do you consider the visual programming aspect a commodity or a selling feature? Or is that dependent on the market you are selling into?
Steam is generally pretty great. But off the top of my head I can think of two areas where Steam arent delivering;
- Greenlight. Good idea, didnt work as planned. Room in the market for some kind of Greenlight/Kickstarter hybrid?
- Gaming for kids and educational software. A Kahn Academy approach but with games instead of lessons.
1.) What, if any, of mathematics has been invented concurrently in different regions (say within 10-20 years) without collaboration or knowledge of other derived work?
2.) To what extent is the rate of mathematical development associated with war or advances in knowledge sharing? Be it radio, printing press, persuing weapons development, crypto, or mass migration (eg post ww2).
I think 1.) comes about via natural scientific progress. Some mathematical ideas are dependent on the right set of tools being invented or environmental necessity. How many people independently came up with ballastics equations once soldiers starting flinging big rocks at each other?
The 2.) Question is very interesting to me. What is the network effect of mathematicians sharing ideas? What happens when the 10 smartest mathematicians in the world end up all working at the same elite university? Why isnt this just accelerating mathematical progress in the 21st century? Are breakthroughs harder now? Does the internet and peer review journals provide too much noise? Or is it simply that progress is so fast now we don't think of these things as extraordinary ?
Question: Were you able to utilise any data about Lego parts from Lego's own catalogues (current and historal) or technical specifications? It sounds like you trained the classifier manually. I imagine if you want to sort into sets you need to know what makes up a particular set.....does Lego provide an API or anything regarding parts/sets?
Further to that, if you have pricing data on sets you have a nice little optimisation problem - given my metric ton of parts, what are the most valuable complete sets I can make?
