If it's a convenient belief that also produces good results, then the utilitarian in me is less interested in truth. If it works for some people, that's enough.

At the age of 14 I took a Mensa test which came back with an IQ of 176. Up to that point I'd had reason to suspect I was smart. Once I had the 'proof', things went very badly for me, essentially I stopped working in school, especially work I didn't like. I got very confused and quite depressed when I didn't get the best result. I was smart and quite isolated in a small northern former coal mining town in England. Perhaps the tests were stupid. I eventually scraped into university and did very badly there (but fortunately found the nascent internet and a passion that sustains a career).

So 15 years later when I start reading about the growth mindset theories I'm like 'fuck yes!'.

I was thrilled and relieved when my youngest daughter (very smart, but prone to giving up if she doesn't crack a problem quickly) came home after starting secondary school and gave me a lecture on growth mindset. It's a core part of the schools ethos. They are a selective grammar school where everyone is smart.

It doesn't need to be absolutely empirically true to an effective learning tool. The mind is a slippery fish and they vary a lot. I see it as a tool like the pomodoro technique or flash cards which work better for some people than others.

TL;DR Growth mindset tools are especially important for smart people. It's just one technique in education.
"Applied" in this context means turning theory into practice

It doesn't refer to who's actually physically using the tech.

This is really impressive! I'm especially impressed by the landing page for his consulting site: https://burke.services
This is so much better than just listing some of the technologies you've worked with. It's really great to talk about the problems you've solved, and have some customer testimonials (especially from big names.)

I've been doing almost the complete opposite for the last ~4 years. I always charge by the hour, and I use a time tracking tool that tracks every minute. I never ask anyone to pay up-front. I've used services like Toptal and Moonlight that handle all of the billing for me. I've never talked to a lawyer or an accountant. I haven't registered a company specifically for my freelancing, but I've started doing everything through my startup's company. (My startup now offers a SaaS product plus consulting services.) I live in Thailand and have a work permit through Iglu [1], so they handle all of my invoicing and taxes. I also don't have insurance. I don't set up separate GitHub accounts for everything, and I don't really see the need for that. But I do usually work for one client at a time, and I find context-switching very difficult.

I think the main reason I haven't taken my consulting work super seriously is because I don't really want this to be my career. I've always treated it like a part-time thing to just pay the bills while I work on my own startups.

No offense to people who take this seriously, but consulting has always felt like a bit of a dead end. You can make a great living, but I get really depressed when I enumerate all of the hours I would need to work. A salaried position is nice because it hides these details. You come to work in the morning, go home in the evening, and then your paycheck is transferred to your bank account. You don't have the option to stop working at any time, so you never really have to think about it.

When you're a freelancer who wants to do this as a career, you suddenly have to convert your retirement goal into a fixed number of hours. Say you want to save and invest $2 million before you stop working, and you earn something like $200 per hour. You're able to save 50% of your income. You have to work at least: ($2000000 / 200) * 2 = 20,000 hours.

That's 2,500 full days of work. Maybe you are able to book 80% of your time, and you only work 5 days a week, so each year you can work: (52 * 5) * 0.8 = 208 days. It will take you 2500 / 208 = ~12 years of almost full-time work before you can safely retire with $70k of investment income. Maybe more like ~9 years to account for investment returns.

I think I'd rather join a few early-stage startups and get some significant stock options. It's much more fun to be part of a team member and have a vested interest. It will still take an average of 10 years before most startups have an exit. But you can leave after a few years and work for a few different startups to diversify (or start your own.)

Having said all of that, I'm really impressed by https://burke.services and would love to hire him to work on my startup in the future.

As an Australian living in China one of the things that annoys me is that I have to provide all of my Australian bank accounts and investment accounts with my Chinese tax file number. I also have to tell my Chinese banks my Chinese tax file number. This only started 2/3 years ago.

This isn't for the Chinese government or the Australian government. This is for the American government because of the FACTA law.

The US government wants to have jurisdiction of everyone ... just in case you might be an American not paying taxes.

You can get rid of metastability and high impendance in the proofs provided cycle time is large enough. Then you have cyclical binary logic.

>What does it mean exactly to be ground?

Not sure what the exact definition would be but I certainly wouldn’t assume it to be ‘ammonia treated slurry flash-frozen on 20ft rollers’. My mind trends toward those old school funnel-top hand-cranked meat grinders when I hear “ground”. Obviously they aren’t hand-cranking the stuff but what I saw on the video on the linked page is far from what I expect when thinking of ground.
Lack of group-to-individual generalizability is a threat to human subj. research
Abstract:

Only for ergodic processes will inferences based on group-level data generalize to individual experience or behavior. Because human social and psychological processes typically have an individually variable and time-varying nature, they are unlikely to be ergodic. In this paper, six studies with a repeated-measure design were used for symmetric comparisons of interindividual and intraindividual variation. Our results delineate the potential scope and impact of nonergodic data in human subjects research. Analyses across six samples (with 87–94 participants and an equal number of assessments per participant) showed some degree of agreement in central tendency estimates (mean) between groups and individuals across constructs and data collection paradigms. However, the variance around the expected value was two to four times larger within individuals than within groups. This suggests that literatures in social and medical sciences may overestimate the accuracy of aggregated statistical estimates. This observation could have serious consequences for how we understand the consistency between group and individual correlations, and the generalizability of conclusions between domains. Researchers should explicitly test for equivalence of processes at the individual and group level across the social and medical sciences.

Why I posted this to HN:

I think this is another important finding underlining how much of our current research is broken. Discussions about similar issues like e.g. P-hacking on HN were highly interesting. I believe this another aspect of the same core issue.

Note:

I had to abbreviate "subjects" to "subj." due to the HN title limits.

Indeed. It seems plausible!
If they both agreed on her taking care of kids+house and not working and him focusing on career not being limited by kids+house, yes.

Effective way to avoid this is to not arrange things this way. She won't get alimony if she kept her career.

Also, working women are more likely to ask for divorce. Being stay at home when relationship turns bad is sorta trap even with alimony.

JavaScript code will take a millisecond to decide whether to block a request or not and some hard-coded browser function will do it slightly faster, but not by much, because most of the work will be done by the same regular expression, so we are talking about fractions of a millisecond here and you claim to notice that?

Tell HN: Come join HN discord chat, get to know likeminded people, make friends
Hey, everyone!

I love hanging out here on HN, so many awesome, smart, and creative people to talk to. But over the years, I haven't made a single personal connection, there's no one in this community that I know by name.

There aren't a lot of likeminded people where I live (and I have trouble making real life friends because of health and social anxiety reasons), but I think it would be pretty cool to get to know someone online.

I've been playing a lot of DnD (and doing some improv) over discord recently, and that really helped me to meet some awesome people, talking on discord really encourages people to get to know each other and make more personal connections.

I think it would be cool to have such community for HN users, a nice place to talk about startups, coding, tech, side projects, scifi, etc, make friends, share experience and advice, stuff like that. This works extremely well for DnD and Improv, it should probably work well for HN too.

If you're interested in this, I've just created a discord server:

Especially when there’s even a financial incentive to getting out of a relationship you no longer enjoy. Everybody has a price, and seeing your marriage failing and a financial bonus to getting out of it changes opinions and convictions pretty fast.

This is especially true in countries that openly favour one of the spouses. For exaple ones where the legal framework doesn’t consider the contribution each spose had to the marriage, and one of them will invariably receive financial aid.
Consider, if a marriage is a partnership and in this partnership it is agreed by both consenting parties that one will work and one will not, then that's an agreement entered into knowing, full well, that should the relationship end then there will be such consequences. Anyone who complains about those consequences down the road might wish to consider the relationship from the beginning: good communication from day one goes a long way to avoiding such eventualities being a surprise.
As a matter of social spending policy the tax expenditures for retirement savings don’t strike me as terribly efficient. The benefit to society is that it encourages people to save during their working years so they won’t have to be supported by society during retirement. Fine, that’s decent reasoning. But in the system as designed most of the forgone taxes go to relatively well off people that would save and not end up on welfare regardless.
> Good, bad, just, unjust - what's ethical in China, for example, or Saudia Arabia is not the same as what's ethical in the US or even Europe.

That's bullshit. Just because some places have unethical norms, doesn't mean their norms are ethical. Just because some places have a norm to mistreat some people, doesn't mean those people suddenly don't feel mistreated.
How can that be? You can't block loads using only observational capabilities.
I have been the victim of bullying and abuse, both at school by arse-hat students, teachers, year-level co-ordinators, and by the police.

I have, at times, walked in to situations with my phone's voice recorder running. I have, at times, photographed and filmed the police.

They're probably investing in TSLA.
There isn't a need to mend when clothes are as inexpensive as they are. Especially for children's clothes as they outgrow them before they need mending and it's easier to buy new clothes than find what you need second hand.
I have a Planck and I'm trying to love it but it feels cramped and I find it hard to switch between it and the laptop (Thinkpad) keyboard. It's easy to program the layout so right now I'm considering moving the control keys to the center columns so my wrists can move apart, but then it will be even harder to get used to. Theoretically the ortho/columnar layout makes sense, but practically I don't feel the benefits and it throws me off completely, esp. the letters x & c (which I've learned to touch-type correctly on the standard keyboard).

One of supposed benefits of planck is reduced wrist pain. But I feel the opposite after years of using just the laptop keyboard. Because with a standalone keyboard I now use a mouse, I need to move my right hand a lot to reach it, whereas before I would just tilt it a bit to reach the touchpad. But also, because it is a mech keyboard, it's taller then the laptop, so my wrists are at an angle. I guess I need to learn how to keep my wrists above, floating in the air.

In which case, what's the problem simply labelling meat that has been through this complex mechanical and chemical process? Let consumers choose from a position of awareness. Allowing it to all be labelled the same as meat that has simply been through a mincer is industry burying it for easier profit.

Thankfully the EU chose to ban these ammonia treated processed products, though industry is working quite hard to find loopholes to sell us a product we won't buy knowingly.

I'm slightly entertained to learn that what the USDA defines as "lean" at 22.5% is higher fat than the cheap higher fat mince (20%) in UK supermarkets. Lean here would normally be 10 or sometimes even 5%.

Fully agree the antibiotic abuse needs to be resolved though.
Nice! Seems however like there is no obvious approach to scale this proof to a machine with caches and multicycle memory accesses, where you can not flush the pipeline quite as conveniently.
It's usually the opposite; people of status / power are allowed to ignore norms that plague the more common folk.

Examen philosophicum is common in Norwegian universities.

It is worth noting that this is common to all first degrees, and may or may not be tailored to your particular subject area, so it's often up to the learner to work out apply the theory to their own scenarios.

The origins of Valentine's day (2011)
The paper is talking about effective temperature for specific photon energies. Additionally black body emission refers to thermal equilibrium conditions which the LED clearly is not.
And then there's the near-field coupling they're using:

> Recent experimental advances in near-field radiation have shown that heat-transfer rates on the nanoscale can exceed the blackbody limit by several orders of magnitude14–17, owing to contributions from evanescent and surface modes18,19. As a result, energy conversion rates can be greatly enhanced on this scale20.

So this whole system relies on not being a black body on several levels.
There's no such thing as "don't have to care about the details."

This is the biggest difference between then and now. In the 70s and 80s computing was all about details, all the way down to the hardware, which most developers understood at the register level.

8-bit amateurs grew up with simple toy machines. They learned enough detail to allow a natural transition to professional development on mainframes and minis - far more detail and more complexity, more of an OS to deal with, but with a recognisably similar outline.

Now most development is more like LEGO - clip moving parts to other moving parts in a slightly precarious way and hope nothing breaks.

It's a completely different way of thinking about computing - kit and cookbook based, with less space for original creation and problem solving. This is partly because the details are hidden and can't be changed, but also because the ethic of experimentation and creativity based on deep domain knowledge driven by curiosity isn't the same.
This is cool. People may I request to not squat on good names and being kind citizens?

> It's unthinkable anyone would come to work in mended clothes.

Nailed it. The same is true in many social situations as well (although by no means all - repaired or damaged clothing is absolutely acceptable at gigs for many genres, for example).

The problem is not that we can't mend, but that we can't mend seamlessly. We can repair clothes but can't do so in a way that makes them good as new again, which sends an undesirable social signal in many situations.
Well, nowaday most people drive but can't fix their cars. Makes sense the same is happening with IT.

No, we shouldn't.

Them using a different image in their research is perfectly acceptable--when one spends hours looking at something rendering, one shouldn't have to look at something one objects to--but referring to the research as a social statement diminishes the scientific value by framing it as a publicity stunt.

Also, apart from using research time/money for licensing: "lena" has become shorthand for "face-female-with-various-patterns" and is a historical accident. "Fabio" will always be Fabio, a commercial model; a less than optimal choice for a scientific paper.
