EveYoung··on A Shader Trick
You can use a similar approach for adding time features to a ML model. In this context, I think it is a quite common technique.
EveYoung··on Ask HN: How do carriers throttle streaming to 480p resolution?
If you have enough upload bandwidth, you could set up a VPN server at home.
EveYoung··on Naomi Wu video demonetized on YouTube
I think we all do but we should recognise it as an issue and come up with strategies and processes to ensure objectivity and reduce discrimination.

I was once told in an interview for a statistician role that the questions were designed for male candidates and I shouldn't worry if I struggle with them. And this was a big FTSE 100 company.

EveYoung··on Best Wordle guessing strategy
I've implemented your last suggestion of scoring words by how much they reduce the pool of potential candidates (12k+). Testing it against the 1,000 most frequent words (targets), the word LORES seems to work best on average.
EveYoung··on Ask HN: Career change for elderly UK ex-convict?
I fully agree, I don't think many London companies can afford to reject good candidates only because of age. Recently, I had the exact opposite experience, where an older candidate turned down an offer because they didn't want to report to a significantly younger manager.
EveYoung··on The next big Wi-Fi standard is for sensing, not communication (2021)
Not trying to be provocative, but how is this any worse than existing cameras or motion sensors?
EveYoung··on See how DMARC, SPF, and DKIM work interactively
I meant that the recommended guide doesn't include anything regarding the DMARC setup. Technically, it should be possible of course.
EveYoung··on See how DMARC, SPF, and DKIM work interactively
I'm using the recommended Fastmail setup with my own name server, which doesn't support DMARC out of the box. Is this something I should look into to improve deliverability?
EveYoung··on Oxylabs(NordVPN) Fined $7.5M by jury for residential proxy botnet
But Oxylabs isn't selling access through their NordVPN customers as residential proxies, are they?
EveYoung··on Ask HN: Is Anyone Here a Professional Baker?
Having worked in the luxury industry before, my experience is that it really comes down to personal connections and branding. The problem is that positioning yourself as a true luxury player takes years (even in local markets) and until then you're still have to pay rent for high-end locations, PR, and equipment. There is a reason why most successful founders have strong industry connections and/or excellent references.
EveYoung··on Apple Captures 75% of Global Handset Market Operating Profit in Q2 2021
Yes, but researching these alternatives takes time and energy. Personally, I rather spent a £1-2k more on my tech gadgets per year than leaving the Apple ecosystem, which works well for me.
EveYoung··on Python leads Tiobe Index for first time in 20 years
Nowadays, I guess they are promoting it the area of ML, with libraries such as TF and PyTorch.
EveYoung··on DeFi bug accidentally gives $90M to users
Doesn't blacklisting funds go against the main idea of a decentralised crypto currency? What's the point of replacing the traditional banking and monetary system with something where funds could be devalued by the decisions of a few individuals?
EveYoung··on Show HN: Extract Table from Image
I can only imagine what a pain it would be to get InfoSec approval for such a tool, unless it's doing everything on-device.
EveYoung··on China declares cryptocurrency deals ‘illegal’
How would crypto help with moving money out of a country if mining is banned?
EveYoung··on Lithuania says throw away Chinese phones due to censorship concerns
Not to sound paranoid, but won't even LinageOS phones have to run closed-sourced firmware and drivers?
EveYoung··on Lithuania says throw away Chinese phones due to censorship concerns
What difference does it make to disable the censorship function compared to fully removing it from the code base?

Considering that phone updates cannot be verified, every phone maker has the ability to secretly add such features at any time. And if the phone is link to a user account they could even do this in a targeted way.

EveYoung··on The ownership and future of Mullvad VPN
How does a VPN help with #3 and #4? Once your data is with a service provider, it doesn't really matter how it got there.
EveYoung··on Every engineer should do a stint in consulting
In my experience, it's also common that those big consultancies get those impossible projects because none of the internal teams what to work on them. And when they inevitably fail, they'll convince senior management to pivot to something more feasible.
EveYoung··on Stripe banned us for payment disputes but we never had a single dispute
Yes, this is a very common practice especially for larger sites. There are even services like Rebilly and Spreedly that simplify this process.
EveYoung··on ProtonMail deletes 'we don't log your IP' from website after activist arrested
It's not like corruption and organise crime doesn't exist in Western countries or governments. For example, the Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana was killed after reporting on government corruption in Malta, an EU member state.
EveYoung··on ProtonMail deletes 'we don't log your IP' from website after activist arrested
In my opinion, email is the wrong medium for highly confidential communication. Especially, if someone's personal freedom or safety depends on it. Even if E2E works correctly, you still have to worry about meta data. Maybe Matrix over TOR would be a better alternative?
EveYoung··on Ask HN: Why don’t you use Linux as your daily driver OS?
For work, I'll need access to MS Office and the browser versions are just not good enough or lack important features. So it's macOS for me.
EveYoung··on T-Mobile investigating claims of 100M customer data breach
This reads like a parody account.
EveYoung··on Nvidia Reveals Its CEO Was Computer Generated in Keynote Speech
Is it just me or does it sound and look a bit out of sync?
EveYoung··on The Problem with Ethereum
Unfortunately, the second option becomes more and more difficult for most people. With increasing costs of living, saving enough money for investments often times seems impossible.
EveYoung··on WhatsApp lead and other tech experts fire back at Apple’s Child Safety plan
But Apple only plans to scan photos that are synced with iCloud, don't they? So you could just switch to an E2E encrypted alternative and drop iCloud completely.
EveYoung··on Ultra Wide Monitors – A pain in the neck? (2020)
How does this work with the placement of a webcam? Wouldn't such a large monitor put the webcam a bit too high?
EveYoung··on We're leaving Cloudflare – here's why – Pale Moon
> We've [...] helped them grow and become known through positive posts, blog entries and the likes. [...] seen/helped them grow to become one of the largest CDNs.

Sounds to me like they overestimate they own importance to CF a bit.

EveYoung··on iMessage, Apple Music used by NSO Pegasus to attack journalist iPhones
In that case, you would still need to trust the mostly proprietary drivers and hardware. And if you aggressively remove features, I guess the question becomes why you would even need a phone. Maybe for some use cases it would be better to simply use a laptop.
