Thanks for sharing @pgao! This tool looks really valuable.

> Since embeddings can be extracted from most neural networks, this makes our platform very general. We have successfully analyzed dataset + models operating on images, 3D point clouds from depth sensors, and audio.

Are there any types of datasets/models that this tool would not work well with that you're aware of?

Ouch! Why all the downvotes?

Using ".af", the top-level domain for Afghanistan, so your domain is pronounced "primo dot A.F." is a little on the nose.

That link does not lead to Elon Musk interview. It's an interview with Adam Perry Lang.

Joe Rogan Experience #1469 - Adam Perry Lang

Great point! Didn't catch that one. I'll edit my comment

This makes GKE pretty much impossible to use for side projects. Given that it will cost $100 per cluster per month without including the instance costs.

Edit: A single zonal cluster per GCP account is exempt from this fee, so this comment is inaccurate.

You don't. Instead you teach to identify trolls / toxic commenters and ignore them.

Just like bullies, they're a fact of life, and the key to dealing with them is to not take them seriously. A bully's goal is to get a reaction out of you so to win - don't react.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me - this applies online and offline.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies. Glad other people found this silly idea interesting.

A lot of the issues that were brought up have to do with fees associated with purchasing all the stocks and the fact that you would have to buy very small fractional shares. Certainly big issues today but they don't sound like showstopper problems to me.

And to the folks criticizing my lazy use of the term "open source" - I apologize. I should know better using that phrase on hacker news!

To clarify: clearly the market weighted index process is a well known and very simple algorithm. What I meant by "open source" was a tool that can employ that market weighting process and handle all of the financial transactions necessary to execute all of the trades.

This is such a fascinating problem. On the one hand Jack Bogle's invention of the index fund has been so good for retail investors but because the process currently requires a middle man - i.e. one of the big three - these index funds have slowly become bloated with power.

What if the algorithm Vanguard uses was open sourced and could be self-hosted by independent investors?

Where each investor owns their portfolio outright and adjustments to the portfolio are made automatically by a free index manager bot that runs the simple algorithm an index fund manager like Vanguard would.

Why wouldn't something like that work?

BlackRock is dumping coal because coal is a dying business. The climate change point is just a convenient PR booster. If coal was still generating lots of free cash flow we wouldn't see this.

With that being said, it's nice to see that the coal industry is losing its economic strength. Hopefully other environmentally unfriendly industries follow suit soon.

One of the companies I do contract work for uses Keybase to share credentials between engineers. Like database credentials, AWS access keys, ect. Including production credentials. I felt like it was a security risk when they started sharing creds with me over Keybase but didn't know enough about Keybase at the time to feel comfortable saying something so just followed their process.

Does anyone here use Keybase for this use case? Is it secure?

Can someone define total sleep deprivation (TSD) in the context of this article? I'm assuming it's going one night with no sleep at all, but is that correct?

I agree! Great design. Looks like their using Vue.js

Here's the "Non-Bullshit Book on Culture" book this post discusses:

Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders, by L. David Marquet

Also here's a great speech given by the David Marquet (with drawings!) on the same topic:

It's good for tech that the public market's response to WeWork has brought some well deserved scrutiny to SoftBank. Their investing behavior over the last several years has pushed up VC valuations to unhealthy levels and contributed to this "Unicorn or die" startup culture.

A high private valuation alone is not an accomplishment. While revenue growth, happy customers and a clear path to profitability are accomplishments worth celebrating. Hopefully after this SoftBank fiasco more startups and VCs will focus on fundamentals more than jaw dropping valuations.

Python's growth is staggering and I'm happy to see that it's challenging Java. There are certainly some use cases where Java has some big advantages but there are so many use cases where Python can get the job done with much less time and code. Plus I personally enjoy writing python more than Java.

I'm also curious where Go stacks up in this. In Stack Overflow's 2019 Survey [https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology] Go and Ruby were neck and neck at 8-9%. With Kubernetes and microservices getting so popular I'd expect Go's popularity to grow and maybe pass Ruby.

"Speech is not reach" - he's clearly not supporting censoring posts. He is advocating for Facebook to restrict the type of messages that can be amplified with their insanely effective programatic advertising tools (have you ever used lookalike audiences!? it's amazing.. and a little scary). Posts are speech ads are not.

I think the author is trying to say is that feature creep and cramped designs are bad. Definitely! A minimalist design (like google's) is definitely a creative design. Think of Apple, their most creative and successful designs were rooted in minimalist ideas.
