Thank you for sharing that. One of the biggest laments I've run into trying to help someone get businesses bootstrapped is some of the very lessons you just shared.

That sharing is so damn rare, and I think a lot of people end up in a really bad place because we don't do a great job at teaching the failure states of business.

So again, thank you. Life willing, you sound like someone I'd be thrilled to do business with.
I think it's kind of the path of least resistance to improve hardware instead of software. A small group of individuals making incremental hardware improvements is much easier to scale than having the entire software industry make optimizations to use less resources. It's also generally a lot cheaper to throw money towards new hardware instead of towards software optimizations at smaller organizations. For larger organizations, that calculus changes and the ROI of performance optimizations becomes more attractive. Some of those optimizations make it upstream to open source projects, but a lot of it is one off work that only benefits that company.

We can see water coloration from algae in space.

QC simulation (qubits only, no dedicated vis) is much easier. You just make a vector, and multiply it by matrices. Here for Python interface I like QuTiP even more than Qiskit (though, I might be biased, as I contributed to the former). For interactive, IBM Quantum Computing Experience and Quirk (https://algassert.com/quirk).

As "easier" I mean that 2^10 is still managable, as you can use dense vectors and operators. For, say, this quantum optics simulation you get roughly 1000 dimensions per particle. For 3 particles it is 10^9. Don't even think about dense vectors, let alot - dense operators. Sparse operators are not enough, as even identity is big; so for any real-time-ish simulation there are considerably more tricks and methods.

Simulting QFT you need to deal with much more complexity (including continuous dimensions). Instead of numerically pretty much you need to solve some intergrals. (Side note: I wanted at some point to write an interactive editor of Feynman diagrams, turning it into formulae and integrating.)

TIL. Still, I think the strongly in strongly scattering medium is important. It's very confusing to leave it out.
I responded to one of these a year or so ago quite quickly, and EMTs beat me to the scene. Denmark does a really good job of distributing AEDs around neighborhoods, so I think the theory is just to stack up on response opportunities at the moment of a credible alert for better outcomes.
> I have around a 148

That's rather impressive, but I would double-check those numbers.

For example, which IQ test? Was it recently updated? IQ tests are adjusted by as many as 10 points every 10 years [1]. Have you double verified with another test? How did you prepare for each?

I don't know where you are at but here in Denmark I have unlimited/free SMS and using Netflixs test servers (Fast) I get 80mbit/s right now, inside my house out in the country.

Many I know have basically zero data in their plan as they don't need it for anything so there's no way WhatsApp or FB messenger can be cheaper than SMS. I think the price with only 1gb data and free SMS/MMS is something like $6.

As discussed 11 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23552967), yes it is user ignorance. As asdfasgasdgasdg says, that's not a pejorative, it's just a fact. Incognito is very clear about what it is doing:

That’s not an error. It can be an affectation, but in my native southern English middle class somewhat Radio 4 accent it’s perfectly reasonable to pronounce ‘an historic’ basically the same as ‘unhistoric’ - or equally to pronounce ‘a historic’ with a stressed a, basically the same as ‘ahistoric’. Pronouncing it with an unstressed schwa for ‘a’ then an unstressed ‘his’ sounds awkward to my ear. And I would never drop the ‘h’. That would sound common :)
You're not the first to take that line, so I'll refer you to my previous observations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27097403

There's no wild assumption going on here. I just bothered to keep reading, very carefully, everything the original author actually wrote.

Then, please, further reflect that Stack Overflow is not Codewars; it is a forum for practical, focused, and relevant problem-solving advice, and at its best the moderation and answer processes help folks to iteratively revise and improve their questions. A crucial step is, therefore, analytically clarifying both the parameters and the intended outcome.

Contextualisation and focusing of requirements is a familiar and essential skill for any programmer being handed a requirements statement, and answering S.O. questions involves the same exercise, just in vignette.

The handling of this question was not, in this sense, the best. But expecting anything less, would just be a load of fizzbuzz.
There are an enormous number of marketplace norms which prevent being able to make demands on a customer like that. If you're the only vendor trying to protect your downside like that, then you look like a bad vendor, and it can affect your ability to close the deal at all. Especially in enterprise/B2B markets there's an amount of ceremony and playing of the game required, not because it's actually good for any of the parties involved, but because it's just the thing everybody does, so you have to do it too.

For example, we sell into markets like automotive, aerospace, and medical. Being a startup we have basically zero leverage in how to go about conducting business with large well entrenched enterprises with business development dynamics that were calcified decades ago. Part of managing my business is accepting and working with the risk profile of having to keep the company solvent long enough to actually engage these customers in the ways they're able to be engaged. I'm not going to be in a position to make demands that they conduct business significantly differently with us relative to their hundreds of other vendors regardless of if it would ultimately benefit both of us to do so. There's an amount of inertia in any status quo that needs to be overcome, and the problem with that is that the party with the most motivation to displace that inertia is also the one with the least power to do so. That reality gets baked into our capitalization and operations strategy.

I'd love to be able to demand that automotive OEMs actually cover the cost of engaging in a PoC with them which isn't going to have any real payoff for months or years, but every single other supplier they have eats that cost just like we do, and betting my company on the incredibly low probability that I'm going to displace the pandering that they expect from their supply-chain all by ourselves would be crazy.
> "What even is intelligence?"

to me, intelligence is simply the ability to discern (useful) connections between phenomena, basically being able to accurately inter-/extra-polate from observation through time and space, or alternatively, the ability to predict the future (for relatively finite values of future). it's kinda like the derivative of knowledge, and wit is the derivative of intelligence.

an IQ test measures a very narrow slice of that. it doesn't encompass humor, art, or sports/dance (dynamic/kinetic ability) for instance.

with dogs (or other pets), the intelligent part is their ability to parse your alien communications into desired responses, similar to learning a foreign language without an instructor, an interpreter, or a reference available.
I guess you never used ATL, OWL, VCL, CSet++.
based on the stackoverflow thread, and then the comments here, an interesting research paper topic would be 'why do people get so passionate about regex'
starting a fab business from scratch to something like current 7-5nm nodes is a multi-decade, likely high multiples of 10B€ endeavor. while I agree having such capacity is a matter of EU security, paying Intel and TSMC to build their fabs on EU ground in ~2 years for less money is an attractive proposition and not mutually exclusive with the former to boot.
The issue is that sometimes you should use a robust parser and do it properly, and sometimes a hacky regex is fine. But people forget that when arguing about which you should use.
> Good decisions create time, bad ones consume it.

My key takeaway from this article, well put.
If you believe an incorrect thing, you are both wrong in your belief and ignorant of the correct belief. It's not a pejorative to say a user has ignorance of a particular fact. It's just a statement about the condition of the user's understanding of reality. (You can also call someone ignorant as an insult, but that's usually not in the context of particular facts. "You are ignorant," is an insult. "That person is ignorant of the situation," is not an insult.)

Everyone I know who has tried to contribute to Wikipedia would concur with your comments here. I myself dipped my little toe tentatively into the Wikipedia swamp a couple of times, and can confirm everything you say. It’s a toxic presence on the web, a cesspool of plagiarism and insular politics masquerading as political neutrality. It sucks the energy out of the web of creative, individual voices that should be the ideal, and substitutes crowdsourced mush that reads as exactly what it is: something written by a committee.
No Intel fab will run more than a few weeks without consumables coming from Asia. A giant lot of semi supplies are single vendor globally, and much of them are in Taiwan.

It's likely that no fab in the West past the I-line era will be able to resume, and continue production with local supplies, even with immediate nation-state level effort to recreate the supply chain.

I really wish that Firefox hadn't mitigated Panorama View to existence as an add-on. In the world of constant multitasking and switching between various interests, it really helps me create a mental map. Panarama also seemed to help me bridge the gap between leaving tabs open and relegating the content to the forgotten arcana of my favorites list--something that probably deserves a rethink itself when it comes to keeping important items surfaced. That said, Panorama has it's shortcomings. I would have loved to see it evolve tools around automatically sorting and pruning groups or migrating them to favorites easier.
I wonder how this works tax- and social security-wise. Normally, the employer must pay social security in the country where the employee is physically located. Also the employer must adhere to any employment laws for that country.

At least that’s what HR tells me in my current job, as a reason why they won’t let me go full remote.

Are they right? How are full-remote companies handling this?

I think the prohibition is on facilitating payment of the ransom (eg to a previously sanctioned individual or organization).

So what we could see is a situation where Alice kidnaps Bob and tells Carol to pay a ransom; Carol attempts to do so but when she goes to withdraw money from her bank account Dave, her banker, puts a hold on the transaction or even freezes her account if the fact of Bob's kidnapping is widely known.

Bob doesn't make it but Eve, Frank, and Gary tell Carol that his life is a small price to pay for standing up to Alice's terrorism.

in large companies most of the times its not as simple as that, lets say Service A uses data exposed by Service B. Now Service A wants to add few more data to Service B's response, however Service B is not interested in adding that as it's not in their priority list. Now Service A is stuck waiting for Service B to provide that. It happens at scale as well. That's one reason enterprise analysts spend hours on phone. As their system is dependent on multiple other systems from other departments. Navigating that at scale is tough.

IMO the biggest problem with regexes as seen in the wild is a lack of composability. If you need some kind of pattern like "[setA][setA+setB]{0,n}" then you'll copy-paste the definition of setA in both places. If you need to re-use that entire regex you'll copy-paste it again and construct a monstrous string with a really well-defined structure that isn't even slightly apparent without a reverse engineering session.

Up to a point you can solve that by just giving names to relevant sub-expressions, using a regex builder, etc, but in my experience if I'm going to write even a moderately complicated regex I'll probably be better served with something like parsec (a python implementation here [0]) in whichever language I'm currently using.

That isn't to say that regexes don't have their place -- anything quick and dirty, situations where you need to handle unsanitized input (mind you, the builtin regex engine is probably vulnerable to exponential runtime attacks) and don't want to execute a turing-complete language, etc.... I just think it has bad ergonomics for any parser you might use more than once, and I haven't yet regretted using parsec in situations where a complex regex would have sufficed.

That's a non issue at low dose selegiline (1mg per day) and low doses are likely to be more effective.

There is also the emsam version of selegiline that solve the problem.

Good question, RIMB does not exists on the market (but probably exists on some natural compounds) however it's not needed for reason aboves, there are also purely selective MAO-B inhibitors such as rasagiline which don't have the cheese effect, however I believe it isn't as effective for fighting ageing (the main effect does not come from MAO-BI)

German Ideal nowadays is to buy a house for a couple hundred grand on a loan that you finish paying off when retiring.
There was another big factor, remember that ISO C++ initial release is from 1998 and while C was standardised in 1990, many compilers in the mid-90's were still catching up to it.

Then POSIX still left too room for each UNIX flavour to decide how to actually implement certain features, e.g. signal.

So Java, despite being initially interpreted felt like how portable code should be, coupled with a rich library.
Could you elaborate a bit about the myriad joys?
The C-ecosystem build tools you refer to are pretty far behind those of pretty much every other langauge. And most developers don't want to wait for their OS to package it to start using the new version of a library (not to mention this style of packaging isn't typically available on windows/macos).
Obviously so, and this doesn't contradict anything I said. But the types of people who work on AVs are quantitative enough to understand that these magnitudes can differ, and are able to process that difference instead of waving them away as "both dangerous" and sticking with the status quo out of blind habit.

Almost literally every decision trades off one danger for another: to pick an adjacent example, airbags introduce dangers that are different from the ones they solve. And yet, "airbags have dangers! Take them out of your car" is a woefully incomplete understanding of the risk landscape, driven more by our Neanderthal brain's superstition than our Homo Sapiens reasoning about risk.

That sort of magical thinking is a hurdle that every shift in the risk landscape needs to overcome ("what if vaccines have microchips in them??").

This is, of course, dependent on actual comparative safety stats, but I've yet to hear a safety argument against taking a Waymo ride over an Uber in Chandler[1]. If the same level of transparency and rigor is used in more complex environments, I'd take a cruise/waymo car in sf too (once they launch).

My understanding is that the point of the Big Five model is that the design was the other way around—we started by looking at how answers to personality-related questions naturally clustered, then we gave names to those clusters. We define "agreeableness" because a particular set of answers/preferences/etc were correlated and could be interpreted as "agreeableness".

Of course, there are limitations to this kind of approach and there's been a lot of research and refining done on top of this—not being an expert, I'm not familiar with it—but the core of the Big Five model is observational, not tautological.
Evidence of humans quantifying is roughly as old as this burial. The communication difficulty here would come from translating 78,000 into their mathematical system.

I have folders full. Which I never plan on executing on...because 1) I'm not techie and have no patience with trying to following some of the awful instructions which go with these no-code tools. They seem to be built as some sort of lead-gen tool, rather than actually being built to help non-techies spin up products and 2) if any of them actually took off, I'd be stuck in an operating position...and that is definitely not my wheelhouse.

I find problems by reading the newspaper. I generate a workable solution on paper and in my head and then it stays on my laptop in perpetuity. The newspaper filter makes sorting for broad applicability a non-issue. If it's in the paper, it's definitely mass-market. So then I just work from the A+/-B = C in which a is the problem, B is generally the entity having the problem and C equals the stakeholders. "C" varies a great deal because while they may be the ones having the problem, they may not be the ones willing to pay for a solution.

> Dogecoin is at $0.60. ... That’s really all you need to know about it.

I have a rock based currency worth 1$ per rockcoin. Not anything impressive about that at all.

What is impressive about Dogecoin currently isn't the exchange rate, it's the $78 Billion market cap and the fact that the market has liquidity at that market cap. The unit price of something you can almost arbitrarily subdivide isn't really worthwhile mentioning on it's own. Without additional information, it might just be another rockcoin isolated with a hypothetical or low total value.

A lot of remote first companies constrain themselves to certain countries. I don't consider that a contradiction: they're still remote first, they're still distributed, they just have _some_ constraint within that.

Beyond that, it's not uncommon for remote first companies to "hire" people as independent contractors as workaround to these problems.
