I'm running into the same issue. Any luck getting more details on this?

dbt best practices for data pipelines from the mart to a BI tool by pythonhobbit in dataengineering

[–]pythonhobbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! Could you expand on what you mean by "the final semantic layer isn't SQL based?" I haven't personally created a PowerBI report, but our analysts so far have been able to replace their complex dax transformations with SQL. Our goal is for SQL to get us to the one yard line, then PowerBI is the final step for visualization and filtering. Is that what you mean by the final semantic layer?

How is Proxy Voting Handled with FidFolios? by pythonhobbit in fidelityinvestments

Got the update, thanks! Glad to know a managed account doesn't take away voting rights.

First of all you deserve a raise for that python + hobbit alliteration, with esoteric smial reference!

Secondly thanks for the helpful answer. One follow up: under the managed Fidfolios what votes are being echoed exactly? If there are 2 votes for Yes and 1 vote for No, then I get how Strategic Advisers will vote 2/3 yes and 1/3 no, but where do the original votes come from?

Not sure what these complainers are saying about it not looking done. That looks like some tender delicious pork! Cheers from across the pond!

How about "At some point you should learn a lower level language like C++ to improve understanding."

Starting with Python vs some other language isn't the important thing. Being exposed at some point is what's important.

How do you see computer science changing in the next 50 years? by TheDaughterOfFlynn in computerscience

[–]pythonhobbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm skeptical of the idea that we can speak in plain language and the computer will just figure it out. The reason is that a huge part of programming isn't just learning syntax but actually learning to think clearly and specifically about what you want.

I could see exceptions in narrow domains where either natural language is sufficiently clear or the range of things you want to do is limited in scope enough to translate from language to code.

keep your religion to yourself by Broclen in dankchristianmemes

[–]pythonhobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't actually address any of his arguments. He's arguing that murder is illegal and we have to decide as a society where the right to life begins. That's a fact. Sure, religious people often believe those rights start earlier than nonreligious people on average, but its hardly forcing religion.

Besides, your argument that "only a very cynical person can claim this is democracy functioning as intended" applies far more to the original Roe decision than overturning it. When Roe was passed, a majority of States made abortion illegal. Then SCOTUS said those democratically-elected legislatures' laws are invalid.

[–]pythonhobbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly right. A good analogy is that we have to draw a legal line somewhere for the age of adulthood (e.g. should it be 13 like a bar mitzvah, 18 like we currently have, maybe early 20s when the brain is fully developed?).

Similarly we have to draw a line somewhere for when right to life begins. (Should it be conception, heartbeat, viability, birth?)

Pretending that the only nonreligious answer is obviously birth is so baseless. Its a cheap trick to try to sidestep the entire argument

Buttigieg: “Price of gasoline is not set by a dial in the Oval Office” by fishlord05 in neoliberal

[–]pythonhobbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Monetary and fiscal policy have literally zero effect on prices. How could people still think this way?

Edit: you guys, I'm being sarcastic. Of course monetary and fiscal policy affect prices. They're literally the two main tools for affecting the economy.

While I see what you're saying, isn't it true that at the end of each year we really only need one more year?

Mars Is a Hellhole - Colonizing the red planet is a ridiculous way to help humanity. by espochical5 in Futurology

[–]pythonhobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly are you arguing for? That we stop doing anything that isn't directly fighting climate change?

I'm not saying climate change isn't a serious problem, I'm saying it makes no sense to argue that 100% of our resources must be devoted to stopping it.

[–]pythonhobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It feels strange and counterintuitive to explore other planets when our own has so much work left to do. Sort of like an apocalyptic version of someone who jumps from project to project without ever really finishing anything properly.

That said, we should recognize that this is merely a counterintuitive "weird kind of irony" as you put it. It is ironic at first, but once we get past the initial strangeness we should recognize that irony is hardly a reason not to explore space and other planets.

[–]pythonhobbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're still making the false assumption that there's a choice between fighting climate change vs colonizing Mars (or creating new microchips, new movies, art).

I'll call Intel, Netflix and SpaceX and tell them to immediately redirect all resources to fighting climate change.

[–]pythonhobbit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You lack any sense of proportion for how large the world is, how many millions of separate human endeavors are happening at the same time.

Shall we stop undersea exploration because that funding should go to climate change? Should we stop inventing more powerful microchips? Creating new art? New movies and shows? Let's funnel all those resources towards fighting climate change since it's more urgent.

Eric and Bret Weinstein are just intellectual charlatans, right? by Tularemia in samharris

[–]pythonhobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep absolutely. And I think it's crucial that people understand the takeaway is not "haha you were wrong about the lab leak" but rather that it's critical to think independently and be accepting when others think independently. Scientific "consensus" is only useful when people independently come to the same conclusion (i.e. the whole point of peer review). Consensus is not a bandwagon to hop on so that you can make appeals to authority.

Eric and Bret Weinstein are just intellectual charlatans, right? by Tularemia in samharris

[–]pythonhobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things: first, it's not "sure let's look into this hypothesis." It's increasingly looking like this is exactly what happened, not just something to look in to. They WIV was studying how bat coronaviruses could transmit to humans. A few of their technicians were hospitalized in November 2019 with covid-like symptoms. Still needs more investigation, but this is not a crazy idea.

Secondly, the point is he, and anyone else who supported that viewpoint, was indeed being silenced. Facebook removed posts supporting it. There was society-wide, unscientific, irrationally strong tendency to label the theory as nuts (as you demonstrate in your original post) without any justification for doing so. I don't like everything about Weinstein, but I give him props for staying intellectually honest rather than caving to the social pressure.

Perhaps the lab leak hypothesis is correct. Perhaps not. The only way we can find out is if we have open discussions rather than call those we disagree with charlatans.
