I would like to ask if it's possible to prove that your image went through a DLNN like the photos did here with Ever. Say Ever never kept any photo access logs and decided to delete the model training logs or didn't keep logs for that at all. If all you know is that your photo was on their service, and you had their deep learning model (eg. as evidence in court), could you prove that your image was used to train the network?

the market shows that ad spending overall has not increased during the transition to the digital age. It has shifted from traditional to digital, but overall businesses spend the same amounts on advertising as in the past.
I noticed the omission too. Even if he's not using any medication, that seems like something worth mentioning.

Incidentally, I've had really good experiences with modafinil (aka Provigil). It's not approved for ADHD treatment in the US, but studies suggest it is effective, and it's widely prescribed off label.

> The more China opposes the West (as some say), or acts imperialistically/steals tech etc. (as other say), the more Vietnam will become a viable trade partner for the West.

It's just one aspect. China have been aggressive between the borders and have been trying to assert dominance for the Spratly islands.

Another aspect is that China is shifting to a middle class so their low labor can't be forever, given other countries having much lower labor. I believe this is a feature of globalization.

> If Vietnam gets cozy with the West, to the detriment of China, Huawei - which is essentially a state (or more correct, party) company, will act.

They've already been cozy. China's aggressive claim to the China sea around there have forced many countries to cozy up with USA. Vietnam had a joint military drill with USA a while back. The only one that buck this trend is Philippines because they elected a guy who's crazy and into purging people.

Talking about passionate interest just passes the buck. Sure Tao was, but why was he passionately interested and can we replicate it in an average person?

>There are vanishingly few people in the world who spent as much time or had as much guidance at a similar age. It’s basically impossible to find a reasonable comparison vs. Tao of someone who had similar amounts of support and spent a similar amount of time and yet was never able to learn anything.

Sure. But do you think you (or someone with suitable skills) can replicate Tao's success? I don't think you can.

>There is no particular reason to believe that any average baby adopted into the same family at birth would not also have become a skilled chess player.

No reason, except that this sort of thing is very very rarely done despite the obvious rewards. Maybe most people wouldn't be inclined to go through such an arduous project, but authoritarian governments certainly will (and the Olympics prove that they do, and that this works to some extent, although not as spectacularly as you're selling it, for some sports). Where is the horde of Soviet Nobel laureates? Where are the North Korean Fields medalists?

Every trip has a cost. It's a transaction. If it costs me $1,000,000 to get to the park (and it's fairly likely I won't make $1M at said park), I will maximize utility by not taking the trip.

In addition, every trip by you, has various costs to everyone else, namely the traffic congestion we're talking about here, plus many other things we're not talking about like pollution, publicly-subsidized police/EMT/fire for cleaning up your car wrecks, etc. Transport modes that allow you to take up less space on the roads per person, or that use separate parallel networks, or that don't pollute or involve wrecks, cost everyone less on these particular axes.

I think part of the problem is people assuming CS degrees teaching software development and best practices. They don't. They teach theory and on the side as either a lab or project, you write some code. Best practices? Nope. SCM? Nope, unless you have an external influence.

Like you, I learned a lot of beat practices on the job. SCM? Was SourceSafe (Yeah. I know, cringe, but also 2000). But also practices about how to release, when, notification of releases, post mortem of incidents, none of that was mentioned in school. All on the job.

I landed in finance, and any single fuck up can land you on the wrong side of the door. But if you accept you screwed up, most people I've worked with will give you a second chance as long as you don't repeat your mistake.
Modafinil is awesome for ADHD, but I've found its effects tend to plateau after a few months. Traiditional, do one thing well stimulants were my magic bullet. Currently (for the past several years) using Dexedrine.
Learn Verilog and practice implementing logic on a FPGA. A MicroZed board (Xilinx Zynq) is a great choice. You can even implement your own CPU.
I will note that (Soviet vs. US/European success) in (Olympic sports vs. Nobel/Fields medals) strongly supports this argument. Prodigy manufacture has been tried and shown to sometimes work in some fields.

Coaching does almost zilch to address ADHD needs. There’s some initial benefits, but it’s the same sort of benefit anyone would get from coaching. Coaching does not and cannot address anything specific to ADHD symptoms that manifest themselves in the moment.
To add to the anecdata, in my group of friends, most of the people who cook are male, whether for pleasure or for sustenance.

Through my entire dating life, I have found it rare for a woman to know how to cook, let along enjoy it, like I do. It’s been a big sticking point for me.
It's like the US doesn't already have a number of remote areas like Hanford, Oak Ridge, Idaho Falls, the Savannah River Site, Rocky Flats, etc. that are already set up (and somewhat contaminated already) for handling this sort of material and process. In reality it's a political nightmare, not a pollution one.
I'm not saying it was a silly thing to try, just that it's wrong to conclude from the result that the scores are random. I.e., I was mostly responding to "It’s so crazy to me that which posts get popular might just be random."
> I'm interested in how the data splits across demographics other than class. One anecdotal observation I've made is that men often do not even consider cooking or learning to cook, while women actively decide not to cook or not to learn.

Most of the people I know who can cook anything are men; and I think, like me (and like you, it seems), they just wanted to eat something and weren't satisfied with what they could get prepared, and within their budget (including travel). For example, I just decided to make 20L of kimchi one day. I've variously known guys who have built computerized meat smokers, spent considerable time perfecting hummus, bread rolls, that preparation of pork belly they put in the bánh mì...

I think this is a matter of culture, but I can't help but agree that the women and girls I know, for the most part, actively avoid cooking, or are so used to being treated to prepared meals that it's unnecessary.

Sadly I think this comment will just turn grey, and nobody will say anything about why. Gotta love HN.
It's also terrible for searchability. Love the mission, hate the name
About this:

"it should not matter"

The notion that these conversations are free is an idea held by a very small group. Most people have reasonable reasons for assuming that the conversation has a cost and therefore you have a motivation for proposing a particular point of view. Some people find conversations emotionally draining, some people perceive every conversation as a risk to one's political capital, other people feel that any time invested in a conversation is a cost that should be recouped at other points, other people are keenly aware of the meta message sent by one's words and therefore the impact on the relationship of those who participate in the conversation. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that most people will assume that a person advancing a viewpoint also believes in that viewpoint, and since that perception is wide spread, if you refuse to acknowledge it with a comment such as "for the sake of argument" then ask yourself why you feel those 5 words cost you more than the 500 or 5,000 other words that you'd like to invest in the conversation.

For me the difference is that the feelings of distraction and inattentiveness aren't just with things I don't want to do, they are always there, and are sometimes worse with things I enjoy doing. And the hyperfocus happens when it happens, and sometimes it will be on stuff I don't enjoy doing but can't seem to stop thinking about.

Without my medicine I have trouble watching a tv show or movie I really like, I can't play some videogames because they can't keep my attention even though I'm having a great time. I'll normally listen to an hour long podcast over a few days because every 5 minutes I need to pause it to "focus" on something else (like I just did to write this comment), and often I don't come back to it (like I probably won't tonight!)
As someone who also has it: have you tried medicine like Adderall?

I’m so torn on it. On one hand, it makes me so productive, but on the other, it makes me so unemotional and cold and abrasive.

It also makes me sweat, increases my heart rate, and has a terrible comedown when taken often.

I was diagnosed at 16 and was on it for years, eventually moving up to 4x the dosage as my body grew resistance.

I’ve stopped it for the past couple years, and now am back to the lowest dosage on rare occasions I take it, but still unsure how to feel about it.
It feels to me that you are really just bringing a fixed mindset to the equation. I think the world could stand to adopt more of a growth mindset, especially when it comes to learning math as I think football coaches focus more on improvement and growth as an individual and a team whereas many math teachers such as yourself seem to focus on whether you can or you can't learn math.

Modafinil pales in comparison to Adderall. Very weak.
> Some how I made it through 40+ years with it and never knew it.

I can relate to this, and I think there's a potentially large underbelly of society, that many (most?) of us are walking around with undiagnosed personality "disorders" (let's say, traits) like ADHD, the autistic spectrum, agoraphobia, narcissism, sociopathy, and so on - maybe even ones we haven't discovered or classified yet.

The infamous DSMMD (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is a massive tome, where pretty much every member of human society can find a matching category..
Yes the meds work. Stimulants and ADHD are one clear cut medical win. Stimulants have a >90% success rate, and the instances where they don’t work are often more along the lines of the side effects not being worth it. The only difficulty is in finding a doctor that will prescribe, and a personal regimen that works.
Maybe they are confidential because they can corrupt a jury before the information can be presented in court? Just a thought.
I remember that article...it was the second one.
I disagree with his list of upsides -- there is no upside to ADHD. It is a disability. I've been able to manage it without using stimulants, through very careful planning and trial and error (step #1 is avoiding useless wastes of time such as reading HN). But it just sucks.
> Yes its snobby, but I didn't study and spend my student loan on my passion just so I can train up a bunch of people looking for the "easy life".

It is extremely snobby and frankly, I feel sorry for the poor juniors who are forced to learn from you. Very few of us entered the workforce with the requisite skill to succeed. Some of us were lucky enough to learn from amazing mentors. Others were cursed to attempt to learn from people with your attitude.
Ask HN: Does Google “20% time” still exist?

I think the primary schools in east asia, excluding China for obvious reasons, are the birthplace [0] of a form of civic cohesion that the U.S. and Canada (virtually the same culture, despite what people say) lack.

I found a story about a new nuke plant in Georgia [1] which they seem like they are regretting building.

It's a $25 billion project which is several years late now. [2]

They are building two new generators which should each produce 1,215 MW of power. So that's ~$10 million per MW. Solar by comparison is about $1 million per MW, although a 1,215 MW solar installation would cover about 10 sq km.

I have to assume that solar, without any waste to process or high security requirements or chance of a meltdown, also has lower operating costs.

The UK still has a site too but yes there's only a handful globally. The former site at Dounreay in Scotland used to leak particles on a regular basis which were all kinds of bad news for anything living that came into contact with them or perhaps one kind of bad news: horrible death.
To the writer (if looking on this board), thank you for this piece.

Have you ever come across this article in the Economist, summarizing research providing evidence that ADHD is a legacy of our nomadic past when ADHD traits conferred an evolutionary advantage?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.economist.com/science-and-t...

My takeaway is that entrepreneurship is one of the few areas of modern life where ADHD might actually be a help rather than a hindrance.
> why was he passionately interested and can we replicate it in an average person?

That is a very good question. I would imagine there been a lot written about this, but I’m not sure how systematically it has been studied.

One thing that definitely does not work for the general student is typical classrooms with scores, grades, a fixed pace, and tons of bureaucratic overhead.

> this sort of thing [the Polgar experiment] is very very rarely done despite the obvious rewards

The “reward” to being a child prodigy isn’t that great. If the cost is most of the parents’ full-time attention, then most families can’t afford it. This doesn’t scale.

Is this new? Food courts and beer gardens that I go complement their sales by using lots of delivery services, and in some days you will see more delivery than local consumption.

There are four major delivery companies that dominates the market here in this city: iFood, James Delivery, Rappi and lastly Uber Eats. A couple of these companies also do supermarket shopping for you - no Amazon in Brazil for everything shopping.
If they're stolen, they'll at least be reused, right?

Reading about something and experiencing it firsthand are not really the same. But I think it is safe to say that he probably had more going on that just that.
I suspect that's easier said than done. The whole take-down process is setup to keep them within the "safe harbor" provisions of the DMCA ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 ). There's provision for repeat offenders - 502(i) - but no provision for fraudulent or malicious claims (other than the standard counter-notice).

This leaves providers somewhat hamstrung when it comes to "the boy who cries wolf". If you make 100 illegitimate claims and then 1 legitimate claim, that 101st claim is still entirely within the scope of §502, and ignoring it because of the user's malicious history would fall foul of safe-harbor.

> Add support for the SQL/JSON path language

This is pretty great. JSONPath is something used already in a bunch of places, so this knowledge will transfer well when working with JSON in PostgreSQL. Not to mention it'll be easier to understand than some of PostgreSQL's operators and functions for getting data from JSON.

I've been in OP's boat, mentoring people (normal hires, not from boot camps) who couldn't be bothered to put in the effort. It was a colossal time and energy sink.

My attitude today is that you have to put in the initial effort to demonstrate that whatever I invest in training you will be paid off by your future work using that training over and over again. Otherwise it's a wasted investment.

And that attitude is basically that of the old kung fu master: First prove that you are a worthy student, then I will spend time to teach you. Yet in a modern software dev environment, it somehow becomes snobby and elitist?

Edit: I've gotten the same criticism from elsewhere, so the the parent comment (which has since been flagged) is not unique.
I’m not shocked by HN’s attitude towards bootcamp grads, but I am very surprised that so many here are blaming the grads and not the bootcamps themselves.

Bootcamps use absolutely disgusting marketing techniques to appeal to people with little ability outside of being able to pay tuition. Their grads are closer to victims.

You're getting the story backwards. Von Neumann didn't start working with private tutors until after he had manifested his prodigious mathematical talent, in high school. He was a genius who could multiply and divide pairs of 8 digit numbers in his head, as a six-year-old.

The advanced mathematics he taught himself from textbooks. Sure, his parents provided him with the books, but he did the work on his own.

advanced mathematics from scratch just by staring at the wall

That's an absurd strawman.
This is a great analysis. One giant missing factor: households with children. It's both difficult to match dietary needs and extremely expensive to feed a bunch of dependents with takeout! A lot of folks I know establish entirely new habits as parents.

Perhaps someone will successfully target that demographic, but I expect the social minefield of early parenting will be way harder to penetrate than the easy consumption of young professionals.

I have a counter source[0]:

France is highly powered by nuclear and is on the cheaper side of European cost of electricity. Not the cheapest, but cheaper than the average and especially so for being a major country.

Part of the reason France does so well is that 17% of its energy comes from recycled nuclear waste. That's not 17% of nuclear power is from waste, that's 17% of TOTAL power is just from waste.

I meant ratio of available engineers in the market. Not as a specific number, but more of lacking any representation if you have 100+ employees.
I’m not convinced they are randomly distributed but before I started playing with it I was fairly certain they weren’t.

Now all I know is I haven’t seen evidence that they aren’t.

I could see how there could be some element of luck in whether a post gets attention before getting buried. It depends who’s online when it’s posted and whether it piques their interest, and many other random factors that don’t have anything to do with the content of the post like how quickly other posts come in afterwards to bury yours, and how any automated algorithms decide to surface it.
