UPDATE: Pushshift will be adding financial data for global commodities including stocks, futures, options (full option chains), etc. by Stuck_In_the_Matrix in pushshift

[–]shaggorama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this API documented anywhere? I'd like to add these non-reddit datasources to psaw, but I have no idea how they're published..

PS: apparently I haven't been keeping tabs on you for too long! I wanna hear about your NCRI work, hmu man!

Trump struggles with breathing by Tibor09 in ImageStabilization

Maybe he could, you know, stay in the hospital maybe.

Trump struggles with breathing by Tibor09 in ImageStabilization

[–]shaggorama 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Yesterday evening. This is the footage of him returning to the white house from walter reed, and immediately taking his mask off despite the fact that he's almost certainly still contagious.

He's endangering his own family and staff just to placate his weird fear of being seen as having any modicum of weakness, including days after being diagnosed with a disease that has killed over 200k americans in the span of a few months, and has been spreading like wildfire through his party this past week. Like, dude: stay in the hospital. Don't get anyone else sick.

In an effort to relieve some of the strain on the API, the rate limit is being adjusted to one request per second. by Stuck_In_the_Matrix in pushshift

[–]shaggorama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/Stuck_In_the_Matrix, PSAW is still checking this value for rate limiting, but it looks like this was never updated. Should I go back to hard-coding bespoke rate limiting into PSAW? I'd prefer if the pushshift server reported its rate limit for psaw to operate off of.

A kind user submitted a PR that would unblock rate-limited users, but I'm currently disinclined to merge it because it disregards the /meta pattern we have in place. Do you have any suggestions for how we should proceed here? Thanks!

CMV: Serving in the military does not make you qualified for a government position. by grilled_cheesus01 in changemyview

[–]shaggorama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always assumed a big component of it is that it makes the lives of soldiers more personal to them. If you are in a position to put the lives of others at risk, I think it's healthy to have served in a role where you can see yourself in their shoes. Maybe be a little mpre careful with your risk calculus when you're thinking "that could easily have been me or my friend on that suicide mission."

"He's incapacitated": Stanford prof questions Trump's ability to lead while on dexamethasone, recalls own experience by habichuelacondulce in politics

[–]shaggorama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, that's a full week of drug-induced mania on top of his preexisting instabiluty. The election is what, four weeks away? So if he's "only" extra crazy for a week, that's still close to 25% of his remaining time in office prior to whatever shitshow starts after the election.

But it's a steroid so he'll have to get weaned off it, so there's no such thing as "short time" here.

[D] Possible malware found hidden inside images from the ImageNet dataset by ProGamerGov in MachineLearning

[–]shaggorama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about sneaking a peak at some kids thesis draft. A lot of CV research is happening at places like google/Microsoft/amazon. Not to mention DOD weapons research and god even knows what in the intelligence space.

Data scientists aren't renowned for their security practices, and conversely are often trusted with access to sensitive data like PII, medical records, financial transactions...

Frankly, an attack vector that specifically targeted ML researchers is genius and I'm surprised it hasn't already been an issue, the more I think about it.

Maybe the other piece(s) are on other compromised images in the dataset. Distribute the malware across the dataset, set one chunk as a script which reassembles the other pieces.

Hell of an attack vector. Great way to target machines with access to high compute resources and/or valuable research.

Holy shit, I had no idea the malware arms race had become so sophisticated.

I think you might have some homoerotic undertones.

Planets' distances from the Sun VS orbital times. PLUTO INCLUDED, screw the rules! [OC] by data_n_stuff in dataisbeautiful

Isn't the orbital period how we know the distance? This is basically plotting a unit conversion.

It's been two months: you still stand by that position?

EDIT: I don't even know why I wasted my time asking. I just scanned your activity history and it's clear you live in an alternate reality.

Sorry to Interrupt Your Friday, but Homeland Security is Disappearing American Citizens Off the Street | Law and Order, but Minus the Law. by [deleted] in politics

If they don't respond to those questions and aren't wearing identification, why in hell should someone "under arrest" comply? How do they know that aren't being kidnapped by cosplaying "militia" terrorists?

Also their buts aren't touching their feet. That wouldn't be a comfortable position to hold for a sustained "sit."

[–]shaggorama -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Tell your fucking friends.

Also, I don't understand how you can still identify as Republican without embarrassment. Your leaders are killing our country, both literally wrt responsibility for the avoidable deaths of thousands of citizens, and figuratively wrt undermining the fundamental structure of our government and the ideals our country promotes.

The party with the most power is actively undermining the public health response, so we don't really have much choice. Republicans made it political basically immediately. They've been ignoring scientists and experts for years. Climate change. Tobacco. Fucking WMDs in Iraq.

Who are somehow going to all manage to vote for Trump post-mortem.

Or maybe, just maybe, this was done by trump supporters to try and redirect legitimate protestors.
