You think I live under a rock? I probably know more than you. I wrote facts, while you talk about "capturing a feeling". This is a top comment for the same reason people think AIPAC controls the USA or why the expulsion of Jews from Spain happened [1]. The fact that Netanyahu is disliked around the world (and even by me and many of my friends) does not change the nature of Israel being a democracy.

Almost none of what you wrote above is true, no idea how is this a top comment. Israel is a democracy. Netanyahu's trail is still ongoing, the war did not stop the trails and until he is proven guilty (and if) he should not go to jail. He did not stop any elections, Israel have elections every 4 years, it still did not pass 4 years since last elections. Israel is not perfect, but it is a democracy. Source: Lives in Israel.

According to recent polls, if Israel had elections today - Smotrich and Ben Gvir will be out of the government, and Likud will get only 1/3 of the votes it got now, but we cant go to elections while in the middle of the war, thats a catch 22 for Israel. Relying on X for your info is not a good idea, so much fake news, only thing worse is TikTok, for example the famous "500 dead from Israel hitting hospital" that turned out was a caused by the PIJ and there barely anyone hit.

In the mean time the government of Gaza (Hamas) is killing hostages.

Israel is not targeting civilians, thats a fact. It gains nothing from hitting them, and trying it best to evacuate them to safe zones. Why would they try to hit civilians? and if they did, why they didnt try to fire into the safe zones? (whom Hamas have fired rockets into Israel from multiple times, yet Israel didnt attack in order to not hit civilians, while risking its own civilians) The people making decisions right now are not far-right, the far-right have been moved to the side line when it comes to the war decision making.Instead Gants and Eizenkot joined, whom both are moderate right. All the sentence you quoted are out of context and were said just after a few days that Israel suffered the biggest massacre, the entire country was in trauma and in emotions.

This is why Plaid is so successful, it allows banks/fintech companies to validate that the information on the counterparty account matches what you claim, that it has sufficient amount, name and email matches. The bank can also decide if he wants to deny an ACH debit or do a manual review of it, for example above a specific amount of if its the 1st ach debit. Also the clearing days (when you will see money in your bank) will be different depending on different risk factors. You can read more here about how to mitigate ACH fraud with tools such as Plaid - https://guides.unit.co/fraud-and-disputes/ disclaimer - I am an engineer at Unit.

A feature is a data point to your model. it can be as simple as the amount of a transaction (for a fraud detection model) or as complex as the avg_number_of_transactions_in_the_past_7_days_with_over_1k_in_amount_that_were_pending_review. Since you have many features, and they constantly change and evolve and being consumed by many models you need a way to store them - thats how feature stores came to be. I personalty never used.

My answer was written with the intention of helping others and sharing my knowledge with fellow engineers, I enjoy talking about tech and engineering and even thinking of writing a blog post about it.

Hi, I am an engineer at Unit.co, a company that also builds Banking as a Service. We use PostgreSQL as database, and currently thinking about adding ElasticSearch to allow our users to do text search.

Hi, I am an Engineer at Unit.co, a company that also builds Banking as a Service. I can share that not only we do not use COBOL, but our entire backend is written in Pure Functional Scala (and typescript for UI).

I am one of the Engineers at Unit.co - we are also building a platform that allows developers to embed financial features into their product Congratulations on the launch! the market is huge and competition is welcome :) Column took a very interesting route, while we have Bank Partners that we develop with them, Column is also the bank , curies to know why they decided to take this route.

If you think Word2Vec is cool, you can try to google X2Vec with whatever X comes up to your mind. you can almost make anything into a vector using the right neural network. At my previous job I created a LinkedPage2Vec and used it to find Look Alike people for B2B marketing and sales. I also played a bit with Code2Vec.

Hi HN! I am the founder of DevDucky, we help your engineers fully understand your company's code and product.

I was working as a Machine Learning Engineer, and like all engineers, I had to read and understand a lot of code, and information about the code like tickets and product specs. I decided to try and solve this problem by using knowledge of natural langue processing,

DevDucky aggregates data from your code and none code sources like tickets and google docs, uses deep learning algorithms and can extract information from it, like: document a piece of code, generate a product spec or answer questions about the code. You can see examples on the website www.devducky.com

I'd love to hear your opinion and what kind of future features you would love to see.

DevDucky, AI tool that helps engineers fully understand the company's code and product. just finished and launched the landing page. www.devducky.com I am really having fun working on this, combining my love for NLP and software engineer.

I like knowledge and learning, so I just used to bookmark articles that were interesting with the intention to read them in the future. I found that I have too much to read and not enough time. now I am working on a chrome extension bookmark that save a summarization of the article to a google drive and remind me to read it.
