One thing that helped was acknowledging in my own mind that the worst could happen. I could fail completely. I could burn through all my money. I could let everyone down. I could embarrass myself. Whatever the worst was, I considered that could happen. Frankly it's likely to happen. Startups are hard as hell.

Then I considered I could just go back to working a normal job. Pays well, I get all my social status back. All these icky feelings go away. And I genuinely considered this. There is nothing wrong with that life. I loved those jobs!

What I found though, was that even in the face of all that risk it seemed a lot more interesting to try to do my own project.

But with those considerations I approached it a lot different. The daily risks feel like the activity more than whatever this may or may not look like in 10 years. I think this is better for the company too because it's possible to constrain yourself if you're convinced you already know what the end is like. Better to follow your own curiosity.

That's the theory anyway. Again, this is advice coming from someone who feels extremely unqualified to give it haha.

There is also a book by Carrol Dweck called 'Mindset' that speaks pretty directly to what you're asking about. You can get a pretty good idea of the concepts by googling fixed mindset vs growth mindset. The book itself has a couple slow parts but is pretty good overall.
Also HTTPS Everywhere by EFF, which can also be used for example to redirect from reddit.com to old.reddit.com.

If you just need the display: AliExpress. If you want to drive it, I would recommend EPDIY (https://github.com/vroland/epdiy).
> My recommendation is to skip Amazon for anything expensive or at high risk of shipper theft/fraud.

Based on this, as you say, "rare" experience? That seems unwise when aiming for the best average outcome.

Also what would be a better alternative (provided you still want to shop and pay online)? I suspect that, while the rate of problematic experience might be slightly lower with smaller dealers, the average lost value for the customer is not (since there is no Amazon middleman that has any financial interest in keeping the customer around for future shopping, and hence their money is probably just lost when something goes wrong that the dealer is unable or unwilling to resolve)
No consumer bought cable modem/router/AP combo is going to create its own WiFi hotspot on behalf of Comcast due to a config file. Unless it’s the one Comcast provides.
Way back when I maintained our high vacuum setup I routinely used Apiezon H for our manifold valves. I was routinely able to get fractions of a microtorr of vacuum (e.g 0.2 x 10^-6 torr).

There is a big selection of high vacuum greases and waxes you can buy. As you mention they are basically highly pure, very heavy hydrocarbons that have almost no vapor pressure.
I have this set, had to buy a 2nd because my first set became too dog-eared from re-reading. To say I read a lot is an understatement. PKD is the first author I "finished", as in having read everything published, and then some more. To me, he is one of the few, in the company of Huxley, Orwell, Burroughs and Joyce, to see the future not being some grand shiny existence, but a chaos of sophisticated manipulations the human race and God in all it's manifestations is lost and consumed by consumerism and commercialized branded religion. I found a Church of PKD in San Francisco once, a tiny space with whacked out meth addicts reading passages of PKD novels to one another. That was an interesting find, and gone when I tried to show some friends.
One of my fondest memories of my childhood in Germany was trying out all the different sports clubs in my home town during summer break. All the sports clubs organized events where they showed their sport, with the hope of recruiting new members, and there was a "vacation-pass" which listed all these events along with other stuff like free entry to museums and the like. It was a great way to spend the vacations at home, being entertained at very little cost, especially for less affluent families who didn't go on vacation abroad.
I believe this century we'll see a kind of Cambrian explosion of life on our planet. Dinos and Unicorns, but also new more practical species like special plants and trees for construction materials.

Maybe Silicon-based nano machines are more adaptable in other planets environments, but here on Earth, Carbon based nano robots (living cells) is what evolved first naturally and what we will improve/change very first time quite soon.
This has been done many times before. Composers who explicitly based their rhythms on the Fibonacci sequence include Per Nørgård and Sofia Gubaidulina. (While Bartók is sometimes said to have done so, evidence is lacking.) Brian Ferneyhough makes use of prime numbers in one scene from his opera Shadowtime.

In the popular-music world, BT wrote a Fibonacci-sequence tune that was a club hit in 1999.
Stop posting your life and thoughts on the internet! Privacy advocates have been screaming about this for years but no one seems to care until they have a gun in their face.

The really sad thing is the children. Parents uploading their kids entire lives and the kids have absolutely no way to opt out. Permanently giving your kid an online identity before they can even talk. Horrible thing to do to your child.

As seen on USA? European CS degrees are generally more comprehensive because we do all the humanities already in high school which leaves more time for math and it is more common for people to continue with a masters degree.
Thanks! After reading the link you provided, I found out that gQUIC's FEC (Forward Error Correction) was removed from IETF-QUIC, which is a minor bummer.

But it appears that the removal is not permanent, and that it was removed mainly because it is something that can be added later ("QUIC 1.1") in a backward-compatible way.

The other really interesting part was the "spin bit". It's intuitively clear how it could be used by ISPs to monitor the latency impact of their decisions. Unfortunately the cynic in me knows somebody will find a way to use it for fingerprinting. Room 641A really ruined the ISP's credibility in a permanent way.

None of that reflects negatively on the paper. There is no additional caution warranted when reading papers. That's just a question of "are you happy with the state of the world?". You can think about that question any time.
People don't "want a monopoly." But they do want to order things in a way that is by no means a "minor convenience." Just going back to when Amazon was getting started, finding a book that wasn't in stock at your local store was a massive hassle and could take months. Today, not spending an hour running errands is not really a minor convenience. Again, I'm good with there being more competition--and, in fact, I order things from multiple places--but Amazon is often the easiest choice.
500 megabyte a month is a lot if you are loving in a relatively poor country.

One surprising discovery about AI: There's nothing inherently wrong with cherrypicking. I used to think it was this dirty thing. Oh, you're only showing your best results?

But the best results are what matters. If you can create an amazing song from scratch by telling a computer what to do, you only need to do it once. The song is still good.

And it's easy to automate. If you have a way of detecting a good song, or at least filtering out rubbish, then you can generate thousands of attempts to get the good result.

I like to say "It's hard to pick cherries from a rotten tree."

The flipside of this post, though, really hits home. I recently was super excited about a paper called FNet, which showed that "fourier transforms can be competitive with transformers", i.e. just replace multihead attention with a fourier transform. 7x faster on a GPU! Woo!

Buried in section 3.1, they casually note that BERT with half the parameter count completely dominates them in terms of accuracy: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1393315603973386240

In other words, the paper was ... advertised in a misleading way, to put it kindly. Most of the transformers they compared with aren't the traditional multihead GPT style transformer that people think of when they hear "transformer". And the one that was (BERT) totally annihilated them.

But it's also easy to jump to conclusions too quickly. I've been a hothead in the past, and called out a paper when it turned out that I just didn't understand enough. It's tricky to know for sure.
Scales used for commercial purposes in the US are required to meet accuracy standards and to be calibrated by law. While it’s not impossible for them to break, they’re a heck of a lot more rigorous in design and regulation than Amazon’s notoriously problematic inventory management.

They are part of the power structure, they're just 'protected'. Most publications don't want to be seen as promoting a narrative that goes 'against science' even though of course it's not. There's no room for nuance in populism.
Best part of the article is the footnote, where the author characterizes his own papers:

You may have misunderstood my argument. My contention is that a mainstream platform and free speech cannot co-exist. You can only choose one of the two options.

About Twitter allowing pseudonyms, it is out of the scope in this context as you cannot cancel a faceless person.

Am pro-free speech as I truly believe this was the original intention of the www and the communities that formed it. If the answer to this return in ideology is in more "free speech" platforms, then am personally more-than-ready to embrace the idea. No one should be policed in or victimized for sharing their opinions on the internet. I find it is so backward and cringy.
Sure but “I’m busy and will get back in touch next week” would have sufficed.
Synesthesia isn't specific to just visual experience from auditory stimulus. It really denotes any mix of senses, be it experiencing visuals when listening to music (reported by e.g. LSD users), bodily sensations from colors et.c.
Out of curiosity could you refer me to some sources to read more about this.
I wish my colleagues would appreciate the beauty of abstraction and PL theory as much as you do. It seems they actively resist any effort in that direction.
Yes, I'm very skeptical of Buckman's claim that more fraud will help. Seems similar to a claim around 2015-2016 that voting for Donald Trump will inspire America to clean up its act politically. Institutions aren't biological systems that operate according to mysterious hormetic processes. Institutions are created by humans and thrive or decay based on whether they effectively channel human effort. Be the change you want to see in the world. And if you wreck something, and others apply blood sweat and tears to recreate it in a way that's better than the original, you don't get to take any credit as the wrecker.

I would argue the opposite, that non-homogenised milk makes no sense in this application - it's a toss up whether you'd get skimmed milk, cream (of an unpredictable fat %), or where in between.

(It has it's uses though, it's not that common in the UK, but I find it vastly better for making paneer for example - homogenised milk splits to a billion tiny wispy solids that don't set together well, leaving a crumbly texture; non-homogenised gives a much better mix and far bigger bits that hold together well.)
I read it as a partnership to begin with: I am above the company and step down into a role. The CEO is also above the company and steps down into a role. The fact that their role is higher than mine on an org chart doesn't make the company more important than me, nor does it make the CEO more important then me. We're equals as human beings, he just has more authority in a specific narrow context.
Did they buy it used from Amazon? Id say 9 out of 10 used item, fulfilled by Amazon, has something wrong with it: broken, missing critical parts... And in one case a 24 inch monitor when I ordered a 27.

I think it's just normal operating procedure unfortunately: checking and confirming every returned item is expensive. Simply turning around and delivering to the next chump is probably more profitable, even with the high error rate.

I am always surprised when I hear about home schooling. When I was a kid it was a given that a school is mandatory. Parents worked, and also what qualifications do they have to teach? At least in early education, pedagogical knowledge is really important.
Just wait until big companies start doing it. Then everybody else must do it too. Just look at how people copied the boring corporate web style which is now all over the place.

“Synthesia” is probably an amalgam of “synthesis,synthetic” and “synesthesia”. You would really have to ask the author to find out.

Edit: It's worth pointing out that while the words look quite alike, they don't mean the same thing,

synthesis: to put together

aesthesia: ability to feel or perceive sensations
Longer exposure but less surface area (coarser grind).
I have a BMW S1000RR with a stock exhaust and I want to get an after market exhaust simply because the stock one sounds awful. I don't want it to be particularly loud, just a more pleasant note. Unfortunately any after market exhaust may be louder. This is why I've held back on buying one.
It's reasonable to be skeptical given the history. But honestly, there has been a rush of activity in "the merge" this year, starting just a few months ago.

The proof of stake (PoS) network has been live with serious money since late last year, so it's becoming relatively established, and the merge is the technical steps to join the entire PoW Ethereum transaction history, processes and existing software into the PoS network, without a single disruptive event.

It's as much of an ecosystem process as a technical process, to retain its value across the merge. Technically it is rather complicated too. The PoS system diagram is more complex than the equivalent PoW system diagram. There are so many things to get right in a complex adversarial computation system like Ethereum, where economic motivations cause people to hunt for every conceivable hack and advantage, and the system's logic has to be regularly updated to deincentivise those.

We use "machines" to kill people. Guns, grenades, flamethrowers are all machines much more advanced than their predecessors. But people batted their eyes on the advent of these weapons.

People are going to bat eyes in the advent of these weapons as well. That is not going to stop Pentagon, China, or Russia from using these weapons.

One issue could be that they are not as reliable as target seekers as they are good as target destroyers. And plenty of mistakes have been committed by humans in charge.

Whether autonomous weapons system will be better than seeking and killing enemy combatants rather than innocent people is something to observe.

Right now, autonomous systems are very very unreliable at this.
Not sure how it compares to others, but a free option is to install Firefox Focus and enable its content blocking in regular Safari. I’m assuming since all browsers are using the same engine underneath that Firefox just installs a standard iOS content blocker and enables it for itself, but works for all browsers on iOS.
If the only exciting thing about it is potential for more manipulative marketing, then "awful" comments feel warranted.
I agree with the sentiment, but I've actually come to consider "computer science" to be a great name for our field.

Turing's universal machine is the original dependency inversion of our field: instead of specifically studying the programs that can be written for any particular hardware device, we largely study phenomena that are regarded as computation as defined by the Church-Turing thesis, and require that the hardware vendors supply suitable universal machines which can instantiate the phenomena of our study. Or field is the science of computers -- every program is a blueprint for a computational device -- but we choose to simulate most of our blueprints using universal machines, so that we don't have to send each one off to the silicon fab separately.
As a present-day researcher (or at least someone who aspires to be), I'm eagerly waiting for the hype to die down, and for ML to become a sleepy backwater again. You were lucky to play around with ML during those days.

The neat thing is, the next AI winter, we'll still have massive hardware rigs. That's very different from 30 years ago. It's a lot easier to discover new things when you can just test every possibility overnight, rather than carefully planning. So if "winter is coming," it will be a lot less harsh this time.

Which is why several journals are pushing for reproducibility as a requirement and dedicated reproducibility tracks where there are opportunities to call bluff on established papers.
