> It's the same argument with serial killer movies

Hollywood is infamous for misunderstanding psychology. At best, Hollywood has outdated notions of psychology (favoring long outdated ideas like Freud, because such ideas are exciting). Hollywood sells movies, not understanding.

What we're discovering today is that there's a "pathway to radicalization". People are NOT born radical, they realign themselves as radical over time.

Baader-Meinhof at work for me in this thread, I just finished reading Deepness for the first time two days ago. It took me quite a while for me to get into it, but I'm glad I did - for the last 150 pages or so I couldn't put the book down, as all the various characters and plot threads finally converged. I'm glad I stuck with it enough to make it to that point.
This was fixed in the 2.0.1 update. It came out pretty quick after the initial release, but looks like you hit the unlucky window of having 2.0? If you had Halide previously and download it again it will upgrade you for free.
Firstly, yes this turbine can be easily made for less than $30, including the alternator (but not usually the pole, charge control, batteries etc). At the moment I've got a particularly good contact with a local printers for the alu sheets and a full six vane version is costing me about $22 total.

The sheets are usually pretty easy to find, just ring around any printing companies in your area which do offset printing and you should find someone to sell them used to you for about $1-2 each.
Sometimes they just give them to me for free.

Any ~0.3mm alu sheet will work just as well, but will cost more if bought new.
Steel will work structurally, but is a lot harder to bend and cut so won't really work with the process documented in the tutorial.

The turbine (as in the general Lenz2 design, not my specific build) has been independently tested to about 25-35% mechanical efficiency, and does particularly well in turbulent and low clearance wind conditions compared to most horizontal axis turbines.

My website is indeed a bit bad. Sorry about that.

> Because a PhD is useful for a lot more than getting a permanent academic position. My first "proper job" was at a research division of a big corporation. They had ~20 PhDs when I started and expanded to ~100 over 3 years. I don't think any of those people would say their PhD was wasted because they didn't get an academic job at the end of it.

Why do they have so many more PhDs now? Because PhDs are a now a dime a dozen, not because a PhD itself is valuable. The opportunity cost of a PhD is four years of lost income during prime employment age, plus extra student loan debt.

Even with a higher salary (and higher tax burden), it's not clear that you come out on top during your lifetime. If you don't come out on top, it's a waste, unless maybe these years you spent doing your PhD were the best years of your life (probably not).
I think if you started speculative stock-picking in March (as it seems many did) then it's quite likely you did pretty well. If you (that person) got out ~now, it's probably been a.. well, at least a year with a nice silver lining.

(If you that person carried on it's not necessarily bad of course, but then you're just any old investor, it was a good year and maybe you'll have more good and more bad.)
Yes - there is likely a "high-risk, high-reward" dynamic here, which is entirely consistent with both your and OP's descriptions: the long tail will toil uselessly, while the lucky few will a) discover that they were right about its significance, b) be in a position to explore and articulate that significance, and c) find themselves suddenly at the top of a new field with few competitors.

On the other hand: there's a second interpretation of all this, which is that doing just about anything big - a major product launch, a body of research, etc. - involves a lot of drudgery. In other words, even big significant things involve a lot of work that looks silly / insignificant. I would agree that learning to commit to that drudgery, and to see it as necessary and even occasionally enjoyable (or at least meditative), is essential to reach a positive outcome. (Which is not to say that all drudgery has value, or that we shouldn't still seek to reduce / manage toil over time: it's also possible to fall into the trap of assuming all drudgery is of equal value, which it definitely is not.)

Some people like(d) DCSS because it was a complicated system with lots of entropy that sort of gave an illusion of complicated decisions. A lot of recent design decisions have been around removing decisions that aren't really that interesting if you know what you're doing.

There's merit to both views. I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. The biggest change recently was removing food. On one hand, I've never finished the game without a huge surplus of rations. Food did not affect the game, almost ever, even for trolls and spriggans so long as you were not overly cautious about eating food when needed. Once you understood this, food didn't really serve any purpose in the game for 99.9% of game time. On the other hand, newbies might think its interesting, and overindex on, say, spellcasting to reduce hunger costs and hoarding rations and think its a fun added challenge.

I fully agree with this. As a data scientist, I always think that this is a "natural" consequence of one of the main (if not _the_ main) metric used to evaluate machine translation algorithms, which is BLEU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLEU

According to this metric, if you have a moderately long sentence like "I am not the person who said the president should be reelected" and your translation missed the "not", you would still get a score of 11/12 ~ 92%. And, as far as I know, word order doesn't even matter, so "I am the person who said the president should not be reelected", while wrong, would get a perfect score.

Of course these are rather artificial examples, and in general machine translation algorithms and their evaluation work because it's "easier" to create an algorithm that gets the right translation than one that, unintentionally, fools the metric systematically. Nevertheless if the research community used a metric that punished this kind of mistakes more strongly, I suspect that over time a few new algorithms could come up that improve on this specific point.

Alas, I don't know of any such metric (nor I would know how to design one, of course, otherwise I'd publish it ;-) ).
It helps a bit to reduce power/thermal throttling, from my experience the effect is not very strong though (maybe 5-10 % at most I'd say). If your CPU gets thermally throttled a lot it's more likely that you have a faulty or underdimensioned heat sink, in that case I'd try to apply better thermal paste and/or ensure the heat sink properly connects to the CPU. My Alienware throttled the CPU a lot due to overheating because they didn't apply the thermal compound right during fabrication (and seemed to use cheap compound with low conductivity), applying better thermal compound fixed that problem reliably, while undervolting the CPU did almost nothing in that case.
...I think you lost the thread of the conversation, buddy.
The "success" OP seems to be referring to is all top quintile, not a kid who stays off drugs and stays in school and goes to college and gets a good trade or a white collar job.

Anyway, "dying richer than your father" is extremely different for the bottom quintile than the top, which shouldn't be equivocated. When half of people stay near where they are born in wealth, it's pretty clear that there is a massively unlevel playing field.

The thing is we didn't know whether the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking involved the Higgs or something else. But we knew that there would be particles associated to electroweak symmetry breaking at TeV scale because of a unitarity bound, among other reasons (as happens with this particular kind of dark matter at 100 TeV that Sabine dishonestly calls "weasel words").

Something had to happen at that scale, the Higgs wasn't guaranteed. Sabine gets experimental physics backwards because no one planned the LHC to confirm the Higgs, but to know whether the Higgs existed and if it didn't what did instead. My money was mostly on it not showing up; many physicists were convinced it wouldn't, then it was there but we couldn't know beforehand.

There's a scientific case for making precision measurements of it, as was done with the electroweak bosons for very good reasons that she dismisses without showing any kind of understanding about the research she wants to shut off.

Has anybody else noticed that negative posts are almost always the most upvoted posts on any kind of success related topic on hn? These posts always mention survivorship bias, which admittedly is in most cases a valid point, but I find it kind of disturbing how in a startup community risk taking is almost completely frowned upon. The Twitter post captures the Startup sentiment fairly well, if you want to do something exceptional you have to be willing to accept that the probability of you never succeeding is quite large and therefore accepting a low status, possibly for your entire life, is something you have to be OK with.
The risk of charge backs for banks is not really a good argument, charge backs for SEPA (eurozone) transfers initiated by the account holder himself are not a thing that exist as far as I know. You can't reverse a small erroneous transfer if you initiated it as the account holder (in contrast with credit card payments in the US for example).

Furthermore, I'm not exactly the first person to buy crypto through the largest crypto exchange in the world (Coinbase) with such a Portuguese bank account. They know this Coinbase bank account, they know what it's for (buying crypto) and they know it's not a scam.
I work at a rather large company that has an internal gateway for all APIs. Each api has an associated OpenAPI doc and the standardization makes it incredibly easy to peruse all capabilities across the company, despite programming language, organizational, and physical barriers between developers.

I concede that the magic there is in the standardization of API level docs, and not the special sauce that OpenAPI brings to the table. I just don't know of an alternative that is as language agnostic as OpenAPI.

Personally, I enjoy using server frameworks with first class support for OpenAPI. The projects I've used it in have forced me to write documentation first, and really think about what I'm trying to accomplish from a design perspective. I am by all metrics a very average developer, and a tool that pushes me to think in a new way is one I'd like to use.

Here's an example of the type of framework I'm talking about, this is Flask + OpenAPI. https://github.com/zalando/connexion

That said, different strokes for different folks. I am sure it is a massive headache to deal with all that YAML if you're not getting anything out of it.
Developer for a major hospital that's not in a tech hub. An executive suite got trashed, so we got a used chair ($25 donation to one of our company charities "suggested"), and that was it. If we need more WFH gear than that, then we are told we can go work in our limited remaining office space.

I personally want more free WFH gear, but I think our execs are clever. "Oh, you don't have a desk? Nobody is in the office, so we can give you a socially-distanced 15x15' space for free if you drive in."
But without willingness you also wouldn't have succeed as you would have stopped long before succeeding.

So while it does not make you successful it removes one potential reason of failing to become successful.

Presumably, they'd do it the same way fully-remote companies have always done it. Either you onboard people remotely, or you travel to meet up in person for onboarding. You don't need an office to do that.

> When the US was in a college-building phase ... all these posts were new and empty, waiting to be filled. So it enabled a generation of new professors to fill those ranks.

Funny story about that. Shortly after the war, my grandfather, who had a Ph.D. but had not been working in academia, landed a position as professor of economics. Not only was it an academic job, not only was it a full professorship, it was in fact an endowed chair. Granted, he was brilliant, but back in those days, being brilliant was all it took.
I’m actually a bit unsure how to think of status in a generic sense. The reason that is important is because I feel like we’re talking about the same thing, just at different resolutions. That idea is based on thinking of status as a combination of <connections, culture, wealth> or something of that nature, either accrued or inherited.

One could think of the “don’t mess up too badly” as “dad’s friends will still interact with me in public”, which is just a proxy for connections as you mentioned.

Going from low to high status is definitely made easier by leveraging high status individuals. Lower, but not necessarily low, status is still expected, I think, as the son of the general still goes to West Point and proves themselves in lower-status roles like being a lieutenant - the gears are just greased to keep going.
NYC here. One of the quaintest things I have seen in my life : A small pub had three tables, two chairs each, on the pavement. One of it was "cordoned" off with velvet-red ropes and for full bottle service, the pub staff open the ropes with great aplomb! Roadside-Royalty.

You're right, lots of exploitative jobs will be destroyed, and businesses will have to adapt. Thing is, they will adapt to the new market conditions, or else they'll be replaced by other businesses catering to the market's demands, or the market's demands will change.

In the painful transition period, lots of exploited "employed" people will become unemployed, and lots of businesses that can't survive without exploiting people will fail. That's the unfortunate "cancellation fee" we should pay before moving to a more ethical economy.

This is a very incorrect description of the problem. The situation in basic particle physics is that models are super plentiful; Six months in 2016 saw 500 different papers written to explain a novel signal that ended up not being real, so it's not models that are missing.
> If there's an error in e.g. floating-point unit, it would just cause random errors in the output, but the game would probably keep running

The processor circuitry does not only consist of transistors dedicated to the datapath, a significant amount of transistors are used to control the datapath. If control transistors are faulty there is no guarantee about the processor behavior.

Also, I don't know about Intel cpu protections, but in modern secure hardware we include dedicated circuits for power/clock glitch detection.
The glitch detection circuit is designed with a higher sensibility to power/clock fault than the rest of the circuit, this way its avoids that clock/power faults affect the integrity of the circuit output.

The company laptop shows up at your front door and you get on the phone with the hiring manager who tells you how to log in.

It isn't a problem. Takes a little longer to build trust with people, that's about it.
> I don't know why you consider the eigenvalue zero to somehow not count as an eigenvalue. Very suspicious.

Zero can of course be a proper eigenvalue. Probably they confused it with the fact that the zero vector typically doesn't count as an eigenvector.
I dislike these getting-in-details explanations without giving even ballpark numbers.

The project cites 350W to 1000W depending on wind speed, which roughly corresponds to microwave oven consumption on different settings.
Advice on the Parameters class: implement attribute access (__getattr__) in addition to __getitem__. Compare

f"""... WHERE created_on > {p['created_on']}} ..."""

to

f"""... WHERE created_on > {p.created_on} ..."""

The latter is a lot more readable and typeable, especially when it's meant to be used in f-strings which place additional restrictions on the usage of quotes.

1 - There's a couple options in terms of alternators / generators.

Hoverboard wheels are good in terms of cost and availability (in Western countries at least) and do a decent job tho will need to be geared up with a belt or similar to produce 12V charge voltage in realistic winds.

Direct drive washing machine motors are usually high enough voltage to direct drive, tho can be a little tricky to source.

Motorbike alternators will usually do a sufficient enough job, and are highly available in most parts of the world.

2 - The electrical side of things, ie charge control, batteries, load diversion, inversion, etc really needs to be tailored to each individual situation.
We've got this Facbook group going: https://upload.facebook.com/groups/windturbinemakers/
for figuring out that side of things and others.

- 20: 25k

- 200: 2.5k -- roughly a year's full-time work.

- 2,000: 250

- 20,000: 25 -- just over a day.

- 200k: 2.5. This is roughly 1/3 the number of citizens a US Representative stands for. Reps serve 2 years, allowing 83 seconds per citizen, per term.

- 2 million: 15 minutes. Andy Warhol's truism is Small World only.

- 20 m: 1.5 minutes
