I can only share my experience, if it's relevant and helps that's great, but as always everyone has different circumstances so take it with a grain of salt.

As someone who grew up never able to accept failure (I remember my first B in high school quite vividly), this fear drove a lot of my anxiety in my 20's and 30's. Fear can be helpful as a survival tool that warns of danger. Anxiety can be hugely motivating but it will eat away at you, like having your own inner Gordon Ramsay screaming at you 100% of the time to be better.

Some advice never worked for me in the past like "foster a work life balance by doing x, y and z" or "these simple automations will free your mind from work" etc - that kind of prescriptive steps-to-success stuff was like putting a bandage on a burning house, just completely the wrong remedy for what I had going on.

I have been getting monthly CBT with a clinical psychologist for the past year and it's been wonderfully helpful. I see it like taking your mind in for a tune up at the brain-garage. Sometimes you'll wonder if that oil change was really necessary and grumble at the expense, other times a simple oil change will dislodge something that was held together by old gunk and you'll need to spend some extra time to replace a worn out part or two, but afterwards you'll be running a lot more efficiently.

Another thing that has helped was simple meditation, nothing spiritual, just setting aside quiet time each day to sit still, disconnect, and focus on calming the mind. It might seem counter intuitive to draw on that house fire analogy to sit still in the midst of it all, but think of meditation or therapy as a fire extinguisher instead and it makes more sense.

It's really tough to advise because we're all different, however the way I see it now, there's an entire profession of people who specialise in debugging minds, finding a therapist I could gel with and making serious time for it helped me, possibly saved my life even. It might be the best investment in myself I've ever made.

Good luck with the launch, sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time of it, it definitely isn't easy.

>The neural nets do not include any explicit “if X happens, then do Y” programming. Rather, they are trained to recognise and classify objects using examples of millions of videos and images from real-world driving conditions.

Real self-driving will need to include a robust expert system. This should obvious to anybody who thinks about how humans drive. Driving is not just pattern recognition but thousands of decisions and judgements about the real world every hour.
If by mishandled you mean that the lock-downs were utterly unnecessary, sure.
Setting boundaries is a huge secret skill. I force people to explicitly tell me that i must do something extra and it almost never happens and I get to work a 35-40h week.

Boss messages me to look at something after hours? I won’t read it. If it’s a problem they can explicitly tell me that they expect me to be available at all hours and then we’ll have that discussion. And in that I’ll say that it’s not acceptable for me but I can split my day in two if it’s important for me to be available late in the day. If they want me to do calls at 5am I’ll say it’s doable and then I’ll end my day at 1pm of course

Yeah, for commands, the input/output redirections can precede them, but for some reason it doesn't work for builtin constructs like `while`:

$ < <( echo foo ) xargs echo
foo

I really hope to know why people choose one parsing algorithm vs another.

I implemented an earley parser, because from what I read on wikipedia, it seems to be more advanced.

"Earley parsers are appealing because they can parse all context-free languages, unlike LR parsers and LL parsers, which are more typically used in compilers but which can only handle restricted classes of languages."

however I seldom see languages use Earley parser, there must be a reason, but I've never seen anybody explaining why choosing one algorithm over another.

We have trauma about all sorts of things. The ultimate question in your story is - Would you do it again or not if you had a choice?

I suspect the majority of people who work with these crazy geniuses would want to do it gain despite everything. So there is something of value there above the abuse.

I appreciate this comment deeply. I am getting tired of the close-mindedness of people that stems from unjustified ego.

There is a culture today of making sure people know how "wrong" they are.
"This guy is a liar and no one took him seriously" isn't a great defence, is it.
Your last statement is a bit unfair, as it implies that their goals are necessarily non-altruistic. Often, what’s in it for them is increased employee happiness which leads to, yes, increased employee retention. That’s a win-win, and not evil.
I often see projects like this posted on HN, and it's very unclear to me what the actual use case is. Does anyone even end up actually using these things? I guess the developers hope it takes off, and they gain notoriety as 'the guy who made X'?

It's unclear.
Marketing hype and optimistic BS get's tired after a while.

It would have been better he raised funding behind the scenes and continued build good electric cars and keeping FSD as a skunkworks until it was ready.

(worth noting for comparison that electric showers can consume 10 kW, albeit for short periods of time)

It seems like there's a risk of infrastructure inequality appearing, with high-quality, low-emissions (and perhaps also cheaper) energy consumption for people living in modern and/or well-equipped neighbourhoods, and dirtier energy sources as the distance from those areas increases.

Are there ways to create regulatory-level incentives for the benefits of clean energy consumption to feed back to other regions?
Adding copyright notices to every source code file is also pointless, since copyright notices are no longer required to obtain copyright protection.
OK thanks, looks like there are several features of GNU parallel that users like.

For the output interleaving issue, what I do is use the $0 Dispatch Pattern and write a shell function that redirects to a file:

do_one() {
task_with_stdout > $dir/$task_id.txt
}

So if there are 10,000 tasks then I get 10,000 files, and I can check the progress with "ls", and I can also see what tasks failed and possibly restart them.

You even have some notion of progress by checking the file size with ls -l.

I tend to use a pattern where each task also outputs a metadata file: the exit status, along with the data from "time" (rusage, etc.)

But I admit that this is annoying to rewrite in every script that uses xargs! It does make sense to have this functionality in a tool.

But I think that tool should be a LANGUAGE like Oil, not a weirdo interface like GNU parallel :)

But thanks for the explanation (and thanks to everyone in this subthread) -- I learned a bunch and this is why I write blog posts :)
QR codes have replaced restaurant menus. Industry experts say it isn’t a fad
I would say that TLA+'s syntax is quite standard, or even conservative, similar to that of most maths language, and so quite the opposite from weird.

The question of whether mathematics would become significantly more approachable if written not how it normally has been for the past hundred years but rather in programming language syntax, even though the symbols would not have the same meaning they do in programming, is not one I have the answer to. But even if TLA+ itself used programming syntax, because it would still be just maths and logic, once you'd want to learn something about a particular topic, the material would be in standard notation, so you'd still have to learn it.

And even if that weren't the case, and even if the mathematical notation were a serious obstacle, I think that obstacle is only significant in the first couple of days; after that, there are bigger challenges -- like getting used to describing things with maths -- that make the early syntax problem pretty negligible in comparison. There are other ways to specify discrete systems, but TLA+ chooses to do it with (pretty simple) mathematics. You have to know what you're getting into, namely learning how to use maths to specify. It isn't very hard compared to, say, learning how to program, but it is a challenge, albeit a fun and interesting one, that you have to want to tackle. But the payoff is quite big, in my opinion, even beyond being able to write specifications in TLA+ (which, in itself, has a big payoff in software quality compared to the effort required).

Those who've just started climbing a hill might complain about the first ten steps, because those are the ones they've taken. But the best way to get more people to the top isn't to flatten the first ten steps, but to show them why climbing the hill is worthwhile.

Another instance of suspicious behavior from Ariely: he has an experiment which shows that most people cheat a little, and very few cheat a lot. The experimental method involves prying off the teeth of shredders with a screwdriver. However, others could not replicate this method.

Someone has claimed that getting a shredder from Home Depot is suspicious [1], but I found it perfectly innocuous. Googling for "home depot shredder" brings up several options.

JIRA is a pile of bolted-on features, and no one has ever measured what is essential to project management, so this point strikes me as sort of an ad populum than an argument that JIRA or whatever is more fit for some PM task than Github Issues.

This is what kills me about software project management, at least in Enterprise where I work: its about people consistently communicating to one another; that's it, lest there's something else we can extract as somehow more primordial. Somehow people consistently communicating over a topic has been reified to the point that we mistake the reified things for the thing-in-itself.

>The GP liked OkCupid (until it was bought by match.com and ruined), ..."

I ain't your grandparent, nor did I say anything about OKC. :)

You're probably referring to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28256462

>... so I think the GP is referring to the kind of corporate-monetising and "it's out of your hands" matching done everywhere else as the road to hell, with OkCupid's method being significantly different.

Nonetheless, I'd agree with that.

>Most sites don't ask, with the result that some kinds of poly people never find compatible people on those sites.

Speaking from experience, this is a special kind of hell I'd wish on no one.

Swipe-based apps rank your desirability by how many people swipe left/right on you, and bin accordingly. Polyamory obviously isn't as popular as monogamy, so you get a lot of left swipes regardless of whether you're generally regarded as both kind and beautiful/adorable by people in real life. You could have looks approaching model quality with a hardcore commitment to physical fitness—the charm and personality to match—and none of that would matter because as far as the algorithms are concerned, you're not attractive.

So what happens is despite putting all of the effort in and then some, you rarely ever find other attractive poly people, and instead you're binned in with low-effort monogamous people that aren't even poly, and might even be homophobic to boot. Your dating experience is then beset by a mountain of self-esteem issues that shouldn't even exist in the first place, and you feel extremely alone and apart from society.

Why does this happen? Because the algorithm supposedly knows better than the user, and thus the users aren't supplied with the tools to match themselves in situations where edge cases exist.

This exact same scenario plays out not just with polyamory, but with queer orientations too. Bonus points if you're both. It's swipe purgatory, or at least it used to be (these days it isn't quite as bad).
I'm moving out of IL for this reason. I'll be working fully remote from a farm for the rest of my life. Not interested in participating in this totalitarian, political virtue-signaling.
> I've already alienated my partner enough that I have to move out. My whole life has become devoured by this puzzle

I'm so sorry to hear this. When I was facing similar circumstances the most absurd part of it was that I thought these things were my fault. It isn't. Mental health has been depoliticized and it's roots obscured. Mark Fisher writes:

> The UK's National Health Service (NHS), like the education system and other public services, has been forced to try to deal with the social and psychic damage caused by the deliberate destruction of solidarity and security. Where once workers would have turned to trade unions when they were put under increasing stress, now they are encouraged to go to their GP or, if they are lucky enough to be able to be get one on the NHS, a therapist.

> It would be facile to argue that every single case of depression can be attributed to economic or political causes; but it is equally facile to maintain – as the dominant approaches to depression do – that the roots of all depression must always lie either in individual brain chemistry or in early childhood experiences. Most psychiatrists assume that mental illnesses such as depression are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, which can be treated by drugs. But most psychotherapy doesn't address the social causation of mental illness either.

> The radical therapist David Smail argues that Margaret Thatcher's view that there's no such thing as society, only individuals and their families, finds "an unacknowledged echo in almost all approaches to therapy". Therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy combine a focus on early life with the self-help doctrine that individuals can become masters of their own destiny. The idea is "with the expert help of your therapist or counsellor, you can change the world you are in the last analysis responsible for, so that it no longer cause you distress" – Smail calls this view "magical voluntarism".

> Depression is the shadow side of entrepreneurial culture, what happens when magical voluntarism confronts limited opportunities. As psychologist Oliver James put it in his book The Selfish Capitalist, "in the entrepreneurial fantasy society," we are taught "that only the affluent are winners and that access to the top is open to anyone willing to work hard enough, regardless of their familial, ethnic or social background – if you do not succeed, there is only one person to blame." It's high time that the blame was placed elsewhere. We need to reverse the privatisation of stress and recognise that mental health is a political issue.

A couple of thoughts based on hard-learned experience:

1) Radios do have a relatively short life, even with proper carrier grade STP cabling and surge protectors. ESD damage from t-storms will inevitably take its toll on them. Usually though, either you can get them replaced under warranty, or at least get a better/faster replacement (although you have to upgrade both ends).

2) It's not a good idea to run any kind of wires between buildings that have separate electrical systems / different ground potential (an outbuilding with a sub panel is fine). I've seen differences in ground potential of 12-15V or more measured between the drain/ground wire and the building ground (this can also varies daily based on the moisture levels around the buildings). Ethernet does use differential signaling, so it's "mostly ok" if you're under 100m. But again the bigger issue is that ESD from t-storms will cause damage to switches (even STP cable grounded at one end) with long runs of ethernet. YMMV with a metal conduit, or with proper surge protection where the cable enters the building. You'll also need (expensive!) carrier grade shielded twisted pair with the drain wire and UV resistant if it's in the sun as well as shielded ethernet jacks for each end (well, you should probably only ground one end).

3) TBH, Fiber is where it's for building to building if you can do it. Most decent switches these days have one or more SFP ports and you can get a pair of Gigibit SFP transceivers for ~$15. Multimode fiber is pretty cheap too -- you can get custom lengths, armored etc. the hard part is the trenching/conduit! But if you're going to go to the trouble of digging a trench and running conduit then put fiber in it, don't bother with ethernet!

Health (comprehending stress, sleep, fitness, disease, etc.), and regimen, combined with a good mindset/ philosophical orientation, and good (perhaps in an unconventional sense) education, are certainly all important and necessary prerequisites for peak intellectual performance. On the other hand "genius" is necessarily defined in relative terms, and is rare, although its specific numerical rarity may vary, even greatly. "Genes and IQ" certainly also present hard limits. The author seemed to be wanting to be P.C. by denying this, but ended up doing the opposite (egregiously) by grouping the two traits together as one! The invocation of the concept of "genius" itself is "problematic" in a similar ironic way.
Redirection like this doesn't seem to work if it comes first on GNU bash 5.0.17(1)-release.

For documentation purposes, this is the exact thing I tried to run:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'

$ while read a; do echo "got $a"; done < <(echo hi)
got hi

Maybe there is another way...

I think you're missing the point - which was to engage on the actual criticism and not just hand wave about "Oh lots of people said stuff". Sure, in any given case you can find someone making a bad argument on the internet, it doesn't mean there aren't good arguments, and in many cases if you listen to the good arguments, you realise what Musk is taking years to realise.

If the thermal interfaces are done correctly then you can put an absurd flow rate of coolant across the fins and bring it out to a huge heat exchange system.

It sounds like the medication is an important part of this plan. Is it something that you anticipate someone would take indefinitely, or only to get down to a target weight?
