Why is that laughable?

150k spare a year, diligently invested 20 years with an overall real return rate of 5% (which should be relatively achievable with index funds, otherwise our capitalist machine is in serious trouble and it won't matter too much what my portfolio does) compound to $5.2M. And that's a real return rate so it should be protected against inflation (add a ~3% if you want to do pre-inflation calculation and see the number skyrocket to ~$7M).

In fact, that's what I've been doing myself, and I am just on track at ~Y8 like I said in my other comment, all while being an average productive software engineer in the bay. The key is to live frugally and invest in a very diversified way.

I live frugally in the bay area with ~$40k/y, I don't succumb to peer pressure of having fancy houses and cars, so for me saving ~150k/y (a bit less actually) is rather easy, and I'm lucky enough to be in a relationship with a woman who feels the exact same, and my life couldn't be any fuller: I'm not slave to material possessions, I live in a decent apartment close to work, my weekends are full of nice outdoor experiences, I work on world-class technology in the bay, and I'm building some serious wealth in the process so I can gain absolute freedom in early/mid 40s (hopefully).

I should also say, for full disclosure, that I don't plan on having kids (I have a huge extended family with tons of nephews, so that's enough for me), and I might just adopt much later in life if I'll feel the need, so that might heavily affect my savings numbers.

After installing VSCodium, you must manually disable telemetry in your settings file to stop it from sending tracking data to Microsoft.

GPUs aren't really optimized for data locality per se. They have really long pipelines to memory and are more about having as much as possible in flight at once. So under ideal conditions it doesn't matter if a memory access doesn't hit the cache and takes hundreds of clock cycles if you have hundreds of clock cycles of work on other threads to do. You can just sort of rotate through them all as results come back.

What's more important is divergence, ie. being able to schedule threads that run the same way. A GPU amortizes the program counter (generally) and control logic across a bunch of threads, and if they diverge in their code flow, you end up wasting a bunch of resources on threads that are just masked off.
No, words need to mean something. Patent troll is an organization that buys up patents just to enforce them while not actually using the patent itself within its own business model.

Microsoft is a patent gorilla, but it's not a troll.
Exactly! I swear that sometimes I feel like I’m on Reddit here.

Gray and miserable is a quantifiable thing, but doesn’t match with the normal measure. It doesn’t have much to do with climate overall but can be disasterous to your mood. He’s looking at leaving the area in debate, so does it really matter what anyone else thinks about it? Of course not, it was purely a talking point to make sure OP thought about the climate.
Is there any evidence that the elections are being manipulated somehow? The gap in polling vs. results is simply incredible.
Graduating from college is correlated with better life outcomes in a lot of areas, including income, health[1], and life expectancy[2][3].

The causal effect of college graduation on those aspects of life varies, but the correlation is so strong that it makes sense to use it as a proxy for "better".

I may not be a "good employee", but I tend to consider my enthusiasm as not being for sale or barter. I offer the value of my labor in exchange for money, and it would be nice if there were some coincidence of wants between myself and the persons directing my labor, but the idea that this should naturally exist, well -- that seems to have worn a bit thin in recent decades. I'm not even entirely sure that my current employer has my best interests at heart -- and I'm self-employed :)
Apple just had another ios lock screen bypass (for accessing contacts). Do you really want to encourage them to make the app/data access state machine more complex?
Neutrons are uncharged baryons. The problems with baryonic dark matter have little to do with the charge of quarks.
It is really quite simple to assess if someone is 'in a rut', even more so when they have more experience, as it becomes more obvious. Even with mid-career developers I check for this.

So "My only concern hiring older engineers is that they are stuck in a rut." doesn't come across well, anyone reading this should be very clear that to adopt that thinking when interviewing would be very lazy on your part!

Not trying to bash you personally, and I suspect you just didn't express what you meant so well :)
If I can remember someone but not their name I usually try and be quite frank about - "hey sorry I forgot your name but when we met you had that cool story about how you did X".

It hopefully works ok.

> Well, people don't disappear under Trump either,

About that: there's a lot of parents looking for their children at this very moment.
The costs are diluted by inflation and the children inherit the built infrastructure. If the diluted debt is less than the value of the infrastructure then everyone wins.

Out of pure curiosity... how absolute is face-blindness? Would you be unable to recognize the face even of someone you’re very close to, like a close friend, everyday coworker, or significant other? Or would you still need non-facial cues to identify them?

Given two people with similar skin darkness, could you recognize that one is White and the other East Asian? Or that one is Indian and the other Black?

Do you notice any deficiencies in other types of pattern recognition, or more generally any other mental differences that you think might be connected?
When your observations of the universe don't match up with what your theory predicts, it may just be possible that like Issac Newton, you just haven't gotten everything figured out yet.

There may just be more going on in the universe over the largest scales than you've figured out so far, and we're waiting for an Einstein to come along to add to what we already know.

Which is not to say that our inability to detect most of the matter in the universe means that dark matter is impossible.

It just seems odd to write off the other possibility given the history of science.
Fed policy has significantly changed since then. Much of the stability is a result of the fed carefully controlling inflation. This is why they are tightening now.
why did '10' just disappear from the title? pretty sure I didn't edit it by accident ._.
Why is this pointed out? Most software has some license.

GPL is an approved open source license. It grands all required freedoms to the users.

The parent comment reads instead as if the software wasn't free. But it is. So there is no problem in using it. Perhaps only politics…

This anti-GPL campaign is slowly getting really tiring!
Yes but with few exceptions the severity of the repercussions is inversely proportional to how much private capital you have. My previous comment was a bit ranty but this mostly what I'm lamenting.

As a bonus, you also make a good first impression thanks to eye contact.
We’re literally talking about one country here. Why are you generalizing it to be the entire East? In addition to that we’re only talking about a small ruling elite in this one country. Highly offensive.

I'm not sure what makes you think commercial endeavours are less susceptible to human frailty than government.

Same reason you'd worry more about a 200-pound drunk guy than you would a toddler, if they both came at you with an axe.
That's a common urban legend. General relativity has been tested and confirmed many, many, many times, dating back to soon after it was first proposed.
That is an incredibly slippery slope. Apply it to other healthcare scenarios, particularly pregnancy, and it’s got a poor track record. Take this thalidomide, keep this pregnancy etc etc.
I doubt that a) companies would do that in general and b) the few that do are charging low enough of a premium that they're still competitive.
as a package, US weapons are best. Meaning that Russia might have a better x weapon but that's it

There’s no such thing as “best” in this game, because the enemy won’t give you the fight you want, but the fight they want. Well, unless they as stupid like Saddam was, but that’s not something you can count on.
No Dark didn’t mean non baryonic at first when DM was conceived and still does not mean that today dark was just that dark as it wasn’t emitting any light we could detect which is why CBM, rogue brown dwarfs and primordial black holes were all a candidate for dark matter at some point.

And thanks for the advice I’ll keep using my SW references when they are fitting and this one is fitting indeed.

Here is another one just for you began the dark matter war has.
> The underlining software detects temperature similar to thermal detector and thats the way it builds an image of your face no?

No, I'm not aware of any thermal sensor used for FaceID. It builds an image of your face using an IR camera paired with an IR projector just like the first generation Kinect (made by PrimeSense that was bought by Apple in 2013). Keep in mind that this is near IR, not far IR that's used in thermal imaging.
I had a colleague that would make it a habit to greet everyone by name in the morning. E.g. ‘Goodmorning Dave’, ‘Goodmorning Ben’.

It felt a bit weird at first but overtime him showing up was a point where the whole team felt connected and would chat about the weekend etc. He was former military (and would shake your hand if he had the opportunity) and he forced a bunch of tech people to bond unknowningly.

I kinda do this now, at least when I come into the office if I run into someone I try to say some type of greeting with their name.
The evaluation order in ANSI Lisp is well-defined.

In some Lisp-like languages such as Scheme, evaluation of function arguments is unspecified, similarly to C.
Best Slackline to Buy: How You Choose the Best Slackline Kit
No, actually, I as an adult human being, am quite capable of using search, to find what I want.

Now, I agree, search is also governed by algorithms - but I'm also quite capable of sitting there for a few minutes, paging through until I get past them to find what I want. I do not want anything controlling my filters, except me. Edge cases can be dealt with. Latex lovers need to learn that it's a text editor first.

As for Amazon, I have never found their recommendations helpful, or bought anything via them. If Amazon wants to help me, it really needs to clean its house on fake recommendations, and bogus products.
Basecamp seems to be an exception, see their latest book - "it doesn't have to be crazy at work"
The Turkish government is also acting recklessly and against human rights. If they are the source of the info pointing at the Saudis, you have to wonder if its a setup.
The bigger issue is why wasn’t this whole submission flagged and killed? It could not possibly lead to an intellectually interesting conversation.

I don’t have an opinion on the submitted article. I routinely flag posts that are political even if I agree with the contents because nothing good can ever come of them.
I do this. Didn't realize it came off as weird.
That just means the algorithms don't work well enough or don't have enough data yet. Also there's a little bit of bad incentives here: these companies also get paid for showing you something at all.
What kind of inspection do you do? I assume something more involved than strings(1)?
This is the probably the most erudite take I've seen on HN on the data collection issue, especially the comment on being over-reductionist. On one hand: not hard to do. On the other: I'm grateful that you did it. How can I get in touch, I'd love to talk to you more about this stuff.
> When I meet people I totally tune out when they say their name, partially cause I'm socially nervous, but also my mind is jumping ahead thinking about interesting things/questions, like what they do or the meaning of their t-shirt slogan.

I often forget people's names because when I meet someone new I'm so busy thinking "don't forget their name!" that I don't really hear their name properly.

Wow, some comments seem to be made by Chinese bots.
Is this the sci-fi loving Star Trek convention attendee "white male culture". or is it the Sunday night football, never misses a game "white male"? Or perhaps you meant the cow rustling rodeo loving white male culture out on the ranch?

I really don't know what "white male culture" you are referring to.
I think you may have a point.

Also, judging from own anecdotal experience, there is a strong tendency (at least in Norway, where I’ve spent most of my career) to promote someone from the engineering pool to management; the reasoning being that as you are a decent engineer, you’ll probably become a decent engineering manager.

Well, chances are you aren’t. At least not until you’ve made a lot of management gaffes. (Cough; I made the switch from decent, in some narrow fields excellent engineer to a decidedly mediocre -for the time being- manager this spring...)
> You realize that you're just complaining "they" are not using your data well enough. You certainly can't realistically sort through youtube yourself, nor can you realistically find what you need on Amazon.

> Fact is you cannot use these sites realistically without these algorithms. It just can't be done. Or at least one can say, you can use Amazon and Youtube better when guided by these algorithms. I do think that it is the difference between not being able to use them at all and using them, but maybe you think it's just a bit less than that.

> (also logical positivism and inferring things through statistics are pretty much diametrically opposite things. No logical positivist is ever going to accept statistical evidence about anything, but no matter)

> > I suppose I can imagine that if we lived in a society free from exploitation, and someone has generated an algorithm that could help you find meaning and success and fulfillment based on all the tracking data.

> That's exactly what these algorithms do. They try to find what YOU would find meaningful and fulfilling and they really do try to give it to you. When that means money will be exchanged they prefer one vendor (that has paid them) over another (which hasn't, or paid less), but does that really change anything ?

-amazon is only unusable without their algorithms because their search and the product data (indexes, categories, refinable factors) backing it is utter crap. Instead of building Alexa -amazon should have made their search adequate for the previous decades standards.
And what....? Might as well support regime change in SA, because he'll ask for Russian protection /weapons (think of Iran, balance of power etc).

Better to make him go into his pants a few times and remind him things like Saddam, Qaddafi etc etc and how fast his regime can go. Remind him what would happen to his power, money and family if USA stopped supporting them. USA can send a fax and have MBS replaced. And by the way, release another 1 million barrels of oil a day to lower the price.
I had no idea that interviewing doctors for delivering your child was a thing. Do they charge for it? Is it common?
I have the remote for the 3rd generation of ATV, and I would also describe it as slippery. Usually what happens is you're typing something in (instead of using Siri, which actually works quite well usually) like your password when you have someone over that shouldn't know it, you are swiping left and right across a 26-letter row and always swipe just a little bit too far and have to go back to the letter you wanted. If you have an iPhone nearby it works perfectly to just use that keyboard though as well.

I'm not sure if it's the input device itself or the software for the keyboard input that's worse, but it does need a rework.

TVOS is alright - I found it better for navigation and visual aesthetics than the Roku that I had switched from - though Roku might have improved in that realm since that was three years ago.

Symmetrical did bother me too. Far too often I would pick up the remote and start moving my thumb over the "wrong" side of the remote, having to switch it around. I finally fixed that by buying some nice rubber cases from Amazon which made it bigger and easier to hold (also prevented it from slipping out of my hand, as it is a little slippery as well) and also let me quickly identify which side was the correct one for your thumb, since the rubber encasing covers the "wrong" side.

I didn't have much problem with the side buttons, but one thing did stand out about that button that your comment reminded me of: The hilariousness of figuring out that it existed when I first bought the thing. I had plugged in the ATV and could not for the life of me figure out how to get past the welcome screen. After five minutes of head scratching I do a quick Google and figure out you actually have to press down on the square on the remote. Ohhhhhh. There was a whole thread of people on the Apple forums who had the same problem of not monkey pressing the right button to figure out how the thing worked.
I think you have very big problem with reading comprehension and you are strawmaning.

At no point have I said that MACHO, cold baryionic matter or any of the other baryionic candidates are sufficient to explain dark matter, the point is that while we have more and less likely candidates we are no where closer today at singling our a good candidate that we can back up via observations or experiments than we were at the 70s.

Dark Matter cannot be explained by elimination alone there is absolutely no single consensus on what it actually is or what the best candidate should be it doesn’t have to be 100% but it’s not 80%, or 60% either.

But sure go ahead and continue to argue without actually adding anything of value.

The greatest ally of our greatest ally must be our greatest ally as well. This post from the nytimes just underlines this new wave of antisemitism that is coming from the left (for example, Corbyn) that has to be stopped.
It can exist in a company, but I think the likelyhood of encountering such an environment is inversely proportional to the size and growth rate of the company... rapid growth in a large corporation leads to metric-driven management as established leaders try to retain control over broader business areas, disconnects between budgets and requirements arise due to increased organizational depth, and there's a loss of individual "freedom" in execution as managerial roles multiply to offset lower hiring standards of ICs. All of which have tertiary consequences, collectively strangling the freedom required for pride in work.

To use your analogy, it's like running if you were following a cart that laid out every foot step and were followed by another cart with a whip. There's no incentive or freedom to engage.

Somehow people used libraries just fine without having a personal profile based on regressions governing the card catalog. I really can't empathize with this sense that shopping and watching video channels 'can't be done' without recommendation algos.

Your article is confused between code walking (recognition of forms) and evaluation order. Code is generally walked top down for the purposes of expansion of macros, compilation or interpretation. Evaluation of nested expressions is generally bottom-up, and in well-behaved Lisp dialects, left-to-right.

You cannot simply let your eyes randomly land on some (a b c) in Lisp code and assume that a is a function being called with arguments b c. You have to read the whole sentences and phrases, so to speak.

No language is immune to this. Can you assume that * X is a pointer dereference? No, it could be a declarator. Or a fragment of a multiplicative expression. Or the interior of a comment as in /* X.

(a, b) could be a comma expression, or the argument list of a function call.

I can't think of any language in which I can extract any substring of a sentence that could be a syntactic unit on its own, and correctly understand its meaning without knowing the rest of the sentence.

Lisp has to be scanned from the outside in: we have a defun, which encloses a let, and so on.
When you're familiar with the piece of code you're working on, you can then take considerable shortcuts. You know you're in the middle of a function, even though the defun is off the screen. You know you're in the middle of the progn-like body of some construct (a loop, or let or whatever), so all the lines of code you see are evaluated forms.
