For men, being on their purpose is the most important thing in their life.

The reason a lot of men struggle, especially younger ones, is that our society overall, especially single-parent homes headed by women, don't provide an example of this.

If you need advice on this topic, check out the Red Pill and MGTOW channels on Youtube. They emphasize being on your purpose first, and dating last.
Were you able to get tested? For some reason I’ve gotten the impression that a disproportionate number of long-haulers got sick in March or April and never had a confirmed test. I’m not sure whether that points to a change in the virus or a psychosomatic component to being infected with an unknown virus at the beginning of the pandemic.
> we probably don’t need to figure out a way to make motherhood and a small fraction of the most demanding jobs compatible.

I don't think it's really that small of a fraction. It's not just tech founders who are faced with career tracks that have a pressure to perform in the key 25-35 age range.

> There’s nothing fundamentally unworkable about a world where you can be a unicorn tech founder, big law partner, or Harvard professor or you can have children in your 20s but not both.

Insofar as these are the people who become CEOs and politicians, that actually is a problem.
It's pretty damn hard to reproduce when you're in prison.
Good point. If funds were the factor limiting how many people we hired (with some desired qualification/potential) at 6x economic elevation, then it might be better to hire 3 times the number of people at only 2x elevation.

But were that funds limit a bit fuzzy, and we had the option to pay each of those 3-times-the-people at the $200K we decided was the amount to live comfortably in that place, that'd be another option.

(Not to sound all college-frosh socialist. I just suppose I shouldn't get too comfortable with societal compromises, since, if something doesn't bother me, I'm less likely to try to improve it. I also shouldn't congratulate myself on being bothered, and confuse any comfort from that with having actually made any effort on the problem.)
You're mostly talking about disease in that case, which was "nobody's fault", with a side-helping of 7 years war.

On American currency, Washington, Jefferson and Jackson (!) are most relevant although they're obviously not the only authority figures that were all about taking land.

The first ~12 presidents or so are each responsible for more atrocities against natives than Columbus could ever have done on the one crappy island he occupied for a few years. You don't go from 13 coastal colonies to "sea to shining sea" without breaking a few eggs.
He was actively campaigning against racism well before he adopted the name Dr Seuss, even if he occasionally fetishized foreign cultures along with caricatures of local cultures.

The quality of HN has decreased considerably over the last 4 years or so, much like the rest of society sadly. Posts like this, to me, should just be removed. There is little valid discussion, it's drowned out by nonsense and political pandering. Posts like these are no better than r/politics or r/conservative.

HN used to be above this drivel, and actually had thoughtful replies. I hope dang and company push for a less politics focused approach because it's degrading here, rapidly. I have flagged this post, but I doubt it will do much.
It is zero sum within the earth system because the energy is limited.

Related: NLP models this as VAKOG (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory, gustatory). The first three are said to be the most common with regard to mental processing. There is an additional concept of an individual's 'preferred representational system' also.

Lots of folk say that NLP is pseudoscience, and, perhaps arguably, this is probably true to some degree. But some of it is certainly useful as a model, sometimes. Some amount of the various aspects of NLP does seem to accord with psychological research though.

Not that I'm here to argue any of that - just figured someone might find NLP's model of this interesting.

Personally, my 'dominant mode' (preferred representational system) is auditory - I have an inner dialogue, pretty much all of the time (sometimes music) - and I am quite poor at visualising things.

Interesting topic! (in general - not specifically NLP)

(This Wikipedia page is far from the best resource on this - at least not when compared with some of the books - it's just an easily found reference/summary)

This isn’t an issue. Congress can create safe harbours if it becomes a problem.
I hate google censorship but having the government control what you can see would be much worse. This is a situation where because Google has an information filter monopoly it should not be Federalized. If it were a niche player, like NPR, then it's a different story.

True, but the results of an experiment is important too. Maybe they reached a satisfactory level of confidence relatively quicker than other manufacturers.
The way to prove a psychosomatic component would be to tell a group they had COVID, then give them a harmless drug that induces some mild but harmless symptoms.

Take the group off the drug and survey them in 30-90 days for long-COVID symptoms.

You could also play around with control groups, for example perhaps one control group is asked not to watch or read any news programming related to COVID. I think the results would be revealing.
Howey-in-the-Hills was a notorious speed trap. Don't know if it still is.
The average consumer is not familiar enough with the limits of automated avionics to understand the limits of commercial jets' autopilot.

If the average consumer was also an airline pilot then it would make sense to use an industry term with nuanced meaning. Instead, the average consumer assumes a straightforward meaning of the term, especially with pop culture throwing out phrases like "planes practically fly themselves these days".

Claiming "autopilot is technically correct" would only approach being true if Tesla & others went into great detail to educate buyers about the limits of the avionic autopilot features referenced by the term, and difficulties of flying a plane in non-optimal conditions, so they actually understood the "technical" meaning and could apply it correctly to the car they're buying.

That's the beauty of language. We can choose our phrases and words, influenced by the people of our geography. You are free to choose peeps, and I am free to choose guys, until there are laws against it (coming soon, I'm sure).

Someone can also choose to be offended or not. Apparently this has been forgotten in modern times.
That's where the retrospectives are good again, having that time every 2 or 3 weeks to ask questions like "Are we getting any value from the stand-ups?" Then could try not having stand-ups for a sprint, or indefinitely, and see if they're missed or not. Or try not having the project manager present at them for a sprint.

If a team has a good culture around knowledge sharing etc then quite possibly its not required, while for other teams that short time all together is better than nothing.

I think you're missing the distinction between "office hours" (what most people would read as 9-5 Monday through Friday) and "Office Hours", the term Simon is using to describe the 4-5 hours a week that he specifically allocates to having discussions with his users. Which is completely understandable given that there's not actually a consistent capitalisation difference.

Of course the latter is still time spent working on the project, but it's certainly not in direct conflict with having a full-time job paying the bills.
NHTSA/SAE/UNECE refused to listen to Google and defined that the technology is to advance through their Level system that allow progressively slower response time for the driver/operator.

Level 2 requires instantaneous takeover should the system fail, Level 3 system must tolerate ~30s delay, etc. in feature checkbox style.

Automakers are fully committed to the Level system, but it does not agree with the reality that algorithms don’t fail gradually like a turbine engine would, so the reality do not agree with the Level system and Level 3 is just going nowhere.

Your confusion around Level 3 comes from the fact that Level 3 do not exist. So no worries.
Does this model include energy that continuously decays into higher entropy states?

You need to model energy alongside an economy and population.

Logically, If you limit energy, you limit the size of the economy. Therefore, energy is an important variable in any economic model.

To not include such a factor in your model means your model is inaccurate.
For deep learning it seems to be....
At most of the teams that have done this sort of thing IME, it has been a disaster.

However, I spent some time working with contractors at Pivotal and I met an EM at one employer, and these people seem to take this stuff super seriously and get good results. The difference is that they do not just have standups and backlog grooming and retrospective. They do EXTREME PROGRAMMING. I am not sure if this is suitable for all kinds of work, but it was highly productive in my experience.

In that case though, the answer to your question is still "no," because there is no extra bureaucracy and because the points exist to serve the team rather than management.
> That’s true whether that $200k/year comes from one earner or two. In fact, if it comes from one earner you are a little better off tax-wise (because of the social security cap.)

Wait. What? Where are you that does not have tax brackets? Is that common in the US?

In Australia you are substantially penalised for being a household that draws all your income from one person. It's not even close. And it's infuriating.

One salary $200k/yr, in pocket after tax = $135,333

One salary $100k/yr, in pocket after tax = $75,813
Multiplied by two = $151,626

That's $1,385.50 difference in available income per month.
I've never played Diplomacy, only read about it. But, I feel like you don't have to convince your opponents that you're human to win. The players could know that their opponent is a bot and still attempt to strategize with it, game the A.I. to get it onto their side, etc.

I suppose everyone might gang up on the A.I. immediately, but I don't think it's necessarily a forgone conclusion that they do.

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.

If the team likes scrum thats fine but picking scrum vs kanban, or bitbucket vs gitlab vs cvs, those are details a team cam and should be in charge of and revisit whenever they feel like. Because all that matters is working code, and what gets you there is skilled people that communicate well.
In my experience, the teams that do scrum well don’t do scrum by the book. They look at scrum and modify the things they like to work for them and get rid of things they don’t like.
In stead of a blithe comment, you could directly link evidence and instead you chose the less productive of two routes. It makes you look like an ass and doesn't contribute to the conversation.

That's like saying Congress can reform our liability laws and turn it into more of a Japanese system.

Well, OK, sure, it's a possibility, but the reason why that wont happen is because we as a nation are much more litigious and expect to have a right to sue. We love to blame big business and make them pay.

People have been clamoring for reform of medical liability for decades - still no progress on that front, either.

Safe harbours are not politically popular here, and you tend to get them only in very niche areas that are below the radar of most people. Auto accidents and traffic injury law, not so much.
I worked for Pivotal and it's pretty much the place that got it right. But the process isn't just a process. A lot of the magic was in careful hiring and deeply thoughtful, caring leadership.

I'm not confident L3 actually exists. The only real levels are 2 and 4.
I've heard this before but it strikes me as a fundamentally condescending view. I've found that most people, including junior developers, more than rise to the occasion as long as they're given trust, a real understanding of where the team is moving collectively and an environment where asking for help (or even direction!) feels comfortable and natural.

The problem is that this means you need leaders—managers or not—who are comfortable without an illusion of control or visibility and who understand how to lead and communicate effectively. And you really need this all the way up the chain. If you manage this, though, you'll be amazed at how productive even heavily junior teams can be.
It's more like office hours in the college sense where you go talk to the prof/ta to get your doubts cleared and stuff, the way i see it.

>Since 2017, many people have been falsely accused of being racist or white supremacist for using the “okay” gesture in its traditional and innocuous sense.

This can only happen in a toxic mono-culture or a corrupt dictatorship. This kind of thing is coming straight out of academia and there are little to no checks and balances on the kinds of insane cultural shifts are being made. The left and far left absolutely dominate that space and they have lost touch with reality, as anyone can clearly see when 99% of their accusations are unjust and hasty and simply ridiculous to anyone who isn't part of the cult.
Why would the government want to nationalize the dystopia? It's better run by private business, just like most other things where profit seems to be a useful proxy for desired quality. It could also be useful to seem to be optimizing for profit regardless of actually optimizing for it: "Youtube recommends this video because it thinks it might help keep people engaged and show more ads" is much better implicit marketing than "US government wants people in Elbonia to watch this video".
I encountered this book at work in the early 1990s, where a remote and rarely-used conference room had a shelf full of paperback copies of it. I guessed that it had been used as a text in some sort of management seminar, as a practical guide for people who expected to be moving up in the world. I assume they either didn't perceive its satiric/critical tone, or didn't care and thought it to be informative enough regardless.

Anyway, I pilfered a copy and read it, mostly because I was already familiar with Fussel from his classic work _The Great War And Modern Memory_, about the damaging long-term psycho-social effects of WWI. I don't think the underlying anger and disdain of _Class_ can be readily perceived unless you've read that book.

I had also just read Douglas Coupland's _Generation X_, and Fussel's "X Class" seemed like an eerie prophetic vision of the 90's hipster.
Maybe a year or two ago I would have completely agreed with the public vs private argument, but the pace of change has clearly accelerated, and when private institutions can easily have just as much impact with their decisions as public institutions, the lines blur.

From first principles, the public vs private division is about preserving freedom. When a private company can exercise its freedom to infringe on the freedom of others to such an extent, we act. Private businesses can’t do a lot of things because they harm freedoms (civil rights act and its additions among others).
I hope they can start to get to the bottom of some of the clotting issues. Just in my anecdotal circle of friends and acquaintances I know at least 3 sudden anueryisms or strokes post-covid infection--some months after recovery. These were healthy 30-somethings with no pre-existing conditions and none of them even had infection symptoms bad enough to warrant a hospital trip. If nothing else there needs to be a lot more awareness about recognizing the signs and symptoms of clot, stroke, or heart attacks.

I had a similar experience in middle school (many “thank you come again” comments), but the conclusion I’ve drawn was that it was due to Apu being the only Indian-American character middle schoolers saw on TV at the time. If there were others (and there are now), the Apu/color-of-my-skin association wouldn’t have been so strong.

It's a demanding and important job, no doubt, but it's not a full time job over the entire working life of a parent. The norm throughout history--and even today in traditional societies practicing subsistence agriculture--has been for both spouses to "work."
I did some maintenance work on a fairly large C++ system that called into a custom lower level library written in C. Much of my work involved extending that lower level library. It processed several billion dollars a year in financial transactions, and was barely documented at all. It was intended to be "portable" so it had bizarre #ifdefs all over the place in case you happened to compile it on an ancient Unix with a K&R compiler from 1986. This was the early 2000's, so nobody ever did that. I doubt it would've worked, yet those #ifdefs remained "just in case."

The lower level C library was pretty clever. The original developer of most of it left about a year into my tenure there. He was one of the smartest guys I ever worked with.

The C++ "app" layer was a different story. The worst part it was a 3000 line switch/case block with about 100 different cases, chock full of copy-and-pasted code. It went on... and on... and on... I still have nightmares about it.

I don't know that I've ever heard someone say "guys and gals" outside of TV.

It's easy for me to understand that some people use "guys" in a gendered way, but I don't see what that has to do with people like me who don't. The argument seems to be that their dialect is "normal" and everyone else has to learn to speak like them, which sounds terribly exclusionary.
People have been trying this for a really long time and there are just a ton of business considerations that make it impractical.

1. People buy photography, even stock photography for ads or business uses, with some intention to affiliate with the photographer / artist or some notion of an artsy style or aesthetic. Autogenerated art starts right off the bat at a disadvantage for being “commodity” in nature, even compared to repetitive inventory of sites like Shutterstock. Maybe you can get past this for certain niche areas where the real photos are already exceedingly commodity, like backgrounds, office photos, landscapes. But even then, the status of an artist counts for a lot.

2. It’s not actually that cheap to operate generative image at scale. You have to ensure that pre-generated content is of sufficient quality, and covers sufficient subject matter, compositional and aesthetic variety. If content is generated on the fly, you’ll be dealing with pretty high throughput on a very resource intensive model.

3. Competition can replicate your image model pretty easily, so your differentiator comes back to branding and a sense of “not commodity” quality, as well as all accompanying services and support, which is where all your operating costs come from anyway.

I am sure generative inventory will become a bigger trend in stock photography, but I doubt it will be much of a differentiator. If you run a stock photography business with more than a few million images already, you would be better served building ML solutions for search, discovery, keyword or caption annotation, abusive content detection, automated aesthetic enhancements or assisted editing tools & style transfer. There won’t be a “holy grail” of generated inventory. Most customers just won’t care.

It’s a good example of how impressive exotic ML solutions might seem like they surely have to have consumer applications, but where it interacts with business concerns it just doesn’t matter. Monetizing ML solutions is really hard - much harder than creating the ML solutions in the first place.

What do you base the idea upon that it was mostly disease and not warfare?

This source suggests that the estimate is that 25–50% of members of most tribes were felled by disease. Given that 90% of the population was felled overall, it seems unlikely that most were felled due to disease.
