I remember being so driven and hungry in my early career as a programmer. I worked long hours by my own volition. Weekends and even holidays. This lasted from my first job out of college until my early 30s. I remember the end very distinctly. I was at the office, slouched in my chair, staring off. I had been through a lot of product failures, but this was different. We had just retired a product whose success came just as fast as its decline. Many people quit or were let go. A feeling came over me suddenly of giving up, completely. It was uncanny.

I quit two months later and took a year off. Ever since then, burnout seems to come a lot quicker if I don't disconnect, and I don't think I ever recovered mentally. That was the peak, I guess.
Does that solve the issue though? If you’re trafficking human beings you could probably use their old ID to sign them up and then still commit the crime afterwards.
Well this is terrifying.

Venus was meant to be a cautionary tale, not an example to emulate.
That's unauthorized access to a computer system owned or maintained by some entity.

You'd either have to leak the database to get the hashes, compromise some other system, or keep trying to talk to the server to probe for weaknesses.

With crypto it's just math that lives out in the open.

But let's say they draw a line at "making a transaction that knowingly isn't yours". What if you leak some highly valued keys and short Bitcoin?
Sounds like you just got a lemon. I've never once had to revisit Apple for any of my Macbook pros.
For crypto having a working key gives you equal ownership.
I think most people know that an Echo is going to be sending data back to Amazon, and for people who know this and are fine with it, there's nothing wrong with having an article about the device that doesn't beat that dead horse. I know my phone has a GPS. I know Google gets an astonishing amount of my location data from it. I don't need every review to tell me so, and would get annoyed pretty fast if every single review of every single phone went out of their way to remind me of something I already know about them.
Wow, it's pretty interesting that you took the time to challenge the statement without actually verifying that you are correct.

You are, of course, wrong. Cursory googling will show average typing speed to be about half the figure I noted. I've never worked with anyone who typed as quickly as I can, and I've been working quite a while.

But hey, at least you got to drop a dig in about adverbs, so you've got that going for you.
What if by limiting enrollment it meant many of those friends hadn't been able to go there? Because that's what we're talking about: trading off a (possibly) better experience for a smaller student body with providing more opportunities for a larger number of people.
Among other things, it puts users at risk of having their highly personal data exposed during a hack/exfiltration/subpoena, or to a malicious internal actor.

If "crypto" is cracked to the extent it is possible to move funds from someone's account without interaction or deception (or incredible stupidity, such as as choosing/allowing a weak key or seed phrase) -- then the value of that coin/technology will quickly go to zero. There will be nothing to steal.
It is defined in the abstract, but I think there are a lot of implicit assumptions that get lost when dealing with cardinalities which may turn out to be important. Just because a bijective/injective/surjective function exists doesn't mean that such a transform is possible when you apply it to a specific situation.

If sizes were sensible then for a set A composed of "every other integer" would be smaller than the a set B composed of "2 times every integer". If we were using calculus to take the limit of the ratio of sizes of the generating functions for A and B as the source set size goes to infinity then we find that A is in fact half the size of B. If we try to simply apply cardinality to A and B we find that the sets are exactly equal, since cardinality doesn't care about source sets or limits!

This can a big deal if say, you're calculating probabilities across an infinite number of possible events/event configurations. There is a big difference between a 50% chance, a 0.000001% chance and a 100% chance.

I'm not saying there's no use for cardinality and infinity classes, but they can easily be misapplied to allow you to be wrong, with confidence.

Sorry I was unclear, I mean in that case it would send them a cleartext copy of the file, and if it doesn't match (otherwise) just do the standard end to end thing.

It would still violate the user's privacy, but it's a simple, cheap to implement, and relatively transparent system (e.g. we could test the database against the internet to discover if they're misreporting popular images) which would continue to allow Apple to cosplay as Batman.

I don't think it's good. I believe users devices have an unambiguous moral obligation to act in the user's best interest to the extent provided by the law unless directed otherwise by the user. I believe we should consider enshrining the moral obligation in the law. Unfortunately, unethical actors have moved the overton window so far over that rather than getting a device agency law we'll have to fight laws mandating backdoored encryption like Apple's.

I bring up the alternative to point it out that the fancy crypto in this new system isn't there to protect the user, as the parent poster was suggesting. The fancy crypto is a mask that helps shield Apple from accountability for their vigilante actions. Even if you take for granted that Apple gets to play crime fighter there are simpler and more transparent alternatives.
Do people join onlyfans and then find models? I always assumed most of the marketing took place on other platforms like Instagram.

My YouTube thing may be broken from the amount or miniature painting videos I watch, but I rarely get a suggestion for anything that I haven’t visited before. Well except for that world of Warcraft streamer asmodal even though I haven’t played world of Warcraft since the burning crusade something like 10 years ago. Most of those miniature channels have patrons which I guess is similar to onlyfans, but I would’ve frankly never known about neither their YouTube channels or patrons if I hadn’t seen their stuff on Reddit’s miniature painting or blood bowl subreddits first, and from there they might as well have lead me to their own sites. Which most of the more successful painters actually do.
> Unfortunately it seems to me that addiction tends to defeat good cognition, awareness, intention, all the rest of the apparent defences – it isn't a disease of stupidity or inferiority.

Sadly this is true for so many things -- depression, ADHD, extreme anxiety. And yet for the most part, society does not understand. Instead, people aren't trying hard enough, or they're not letting things make them happy, or they're lazy, or are procrastinating.

If only more people realized that no amount of awareness or intelligence can overcome some of these issues without help from others -- be it friends, family, medical professionals, or strangers -- perhaps the world would be a better place.

I mean, Rogan is a tool and we're better off without him having an outsized voice, but "podcasts" to me mean "platform independent." I listen to very few (no commute), but none of the ones I do listen to or seek out for long drives are confined to a single service. That seems goofy and weird, and the very act of going that route would put me off.

Wouldn't that just be fraud? It doesn't seem that different from someone writing a fake check, other than the check is some unauthorized set of bits as opposed to an unauthorized physical slip of paper.
> not that unlikely that the same image could match both.

That seems like a statement that needs to be justified. I suppose one could apply a 50% dropout, construct adversarial pairs on that network, and then run them though the the other half-network to get an idea of the frequency of match on both.

My intuition is that the probability of match of an adversarial pair on a second, independent network should be close to the probability of a non-adversarial collision. Robust adversarial perturbations are hard enough when only considering class labels, nevermind hidden state
And here I am at work stuck on 8 and dreaming about switch expressions and records…
I’m surprised by how hard it’s become to motivate myself to learn anything new - I used to read about and experiment with new technology pretty much all the time. Now I can barely work up the strength to learn something new even if it’s actually something that I’m working with.
Same thing happened to Howard Stern when he moved to XM (or Sirrus, which ever one won that war I have no idea what's going on in the satellite radio space), moving from an open broadcast to a pay to listen will always cut you off from all but your most devoted fans and prevent a lot of organic discovery.
I installed a version of BeOS on a Performa 6360 and everything about it felt like I was transported into the future.
It's a large space, not everyone holds the same beliefs.
"Bigger" is poor wording when discussing cardinality.

I can see other comments here are struggling with this. Cardinality should not be thought of as "size." Cardinality is purely a functional property. If you can define a bijective function between two sets, then they have the same cardinality. If you can't, then you take the set which has all of its elements paired, place it before the set that has unpaired elements, and there you go, you've defined a partial order over all possible sets, including infinite sets.

But it doesn't really match what we usually mean by "size." The size of a set is more properly associated with measure. This is why we rely on measure to coherently formalize continuous probability. The sets (0, 0.1) and (0, 0.9) have exactly the same cardinality, but the latter has greater measure, which is why we can say an event space defined by the latter is more probable than one defined by the former. Both event spaces are infinite, but one is "bigger" than the other, in this case in a way that captures intuition about size much better than cardinality does.
This article hits hard. Especially the classification of confidants into the two categories of those who get it and those who don't. For example, don't mention that you're burned out to your parents if they're boomers. Chances are, they'll act as though it'll pass (also something the author mentions) or, worse, act as though you're just being lazy. That sort of reaction can actually make a person want to off themself.
> burnout often involves pouring too much of your heart and soul into something that does not love you back. I describe burnout now as a kind of "unrequited love."

So much this. If you are putting in too much effort into something at work just because you care about it, this is a recipe for disaster.

If you're putting in extra work to learn valuable transferrable skills, that's fine - if that's the tradeoff you want to make.

But if you're just working your ass off for no reason, you're setting yourself up for a major let down.
I came looking for this boilerplate comment, which always appears on the top at HN. I am not disappointed.

Can we move on and accept that not everyone who is using crypto is a dark hat crypto-libertarian hacker already?
>Dogma implies a shared set of principles that are followed without question.

FWIW, Merriam Webster defines dogma as a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds. That's the definition I was using, that I thought was more colloquial. Simply holding a strongly help opinion on shaky grounds is dogmatic. I don't believe that definition is at odds with what I'm describing.
How did they track the destination address to Oliver Paul Read? How is that even possible? Was it because the address was a Bitfinex address which they subpoenaed?
I went to Berkeley and I disagree. The reason for overcrowding isn't increase in school size, it is reduced support from the state and administrative mismanagement & bloat. It's literally hunger games for pretty much all the schools except Haas and EECS when it's time to get funding.

Tuition is more than 35% of all revenue. All domestic students have to pay AT MOST of 1 year of out of state tuition, because you establish in state residency in your first year here. So you have to get more students to make more money. State support is now just 14% of the revenue (used to be a lot more before). Federal grants have reduced dramatically. The only other sources left are gifts, which btw only select schools bring in.

Meanwhile the costs are only going up. 40% of the budget goes into wages and staffing costs. And another 20% goes towards pensions. I was a TA for an undergrad course and we had 80 students per TA, mostly because of budget cuts.

So yeah letting Berkeley be the place it once was requires not only increased state and federal funding, but also increase in tuition to keep up with inflated wages that people need to be paid in Berkeley, CA.
To be honest normally I would comment without reading the article but I'm half way reading this and I feel like I have to ask this now before finishing it:

What type of job expects you to be on Zoom meetings for 7 hours a day but still do what sounds like a 40 hour / week job in addition to that after hours?
I'm sorry but you're simply not right, and going around calling everyone who disagrees with you "racist" won't make you any more right.
That seems like a crude way of thinking about this. It's more like "This is my property, it was stolen, give me my property back."
Reading random laptop review[1] claims to get >14h usage with 55 Wh battery, putting the average below 4W.

The Untold Story of the Scientist Whose Breakthrough Made the Vaccines Possible
I apologize that you find it unhelpful. But for me it is true, and I feel that it's worth saying--I have left at this point probably over a million dollars on the table to prioritize enjoying my life and I don't regret it in the least and the overwhelming majority of software developers making The Big Bucks probably can too if they want to prioritize something other than pulling a high score.

> It's more like--great I make a ton of money. now that you're here, try to keep it going.

Why? Like-so--in the long run, we're all dead. But, unlike many, many working folks in this country and in the world, we are pretty privileged to be able to enjoy a very comfortable life in this industry without worrying that we defer The Good Stuff so far that if we get hit by a bus tomorrow we'll never have had it.

Like, I've been there, I've asked myself if twice my total compensation in a pressure cooker would make me happier, and I realized it wouldn't. Maybe you're different. But you also sound pretty unhappy about it, and I just came in from playing fetch with my dog and I'm neither worried about retirement nor about what sort of a shitshow tomorrow will be.

YMMV.

> There are some success stories, but do we hear of people who left their high paying jobs only to be just as stressed in their new positions?

I'm sure that happens. But the whole point is preparation, isn't it? I've picked most of my jobs pretty carefully and after pretty long interview processes (my current one was a quick process because I've never vibed with a place like I do here, but that's an outlier). It means you're interviewing companies as much as you're being interviewed, but that's just fine.

I keep a little more in the e-fund than maybe my coworkers do, because there's always the chance that it takes a little longer to find that job. But it's never been a problem for me.
PirateBay became a haven for false torrents infested by malware. I'm ta lking about rutracker.org

It has mostly russian-dubbed content, but it usually has original soundtracks, too.

Also, now it is probably better than ever (didn't watch anything for quite a while, so it's a guess), because films are currently released on VOD concurrently with premieres in theatres, and that means that good quality content appears immediately, and not after theatrical window
If you are referring to a measure then 'almost all' pretty much exclusively means every except for a zero-measure set. I've never encountered another definition when dealing with measures.
What's interesting to me is the letter sent to the parents house, it's similar to that of a scam email requesting for millions of bitcoin... or else. The irony.

"practically useful"

The Mathematician blinks several times, looking at you as if you'd just grown a third elbow. :-O :-)

The problem is that there's nothing arbitrary about Cantor's work. Now, you could (along with Aristotle, IIRC) just declare "there are no actual infinities, only potential infinities" and thus that the whole investigation is verboten. But that's not very mathy.

Another alternative would be to redefine the fundamentals to outlaw actual infinite sets, but if you do that then you have redo everything, because some of the things that you might consider useful and related to other things go out the window. (Offhand, I think the result would be constructive mathematics. Putting on my computer scientist hat, I'm perfectly happy with constructive math. But most mathematicians aren't really.)

But if you allow infinite sets, then the properties of them, including infinite sets of different sizes, are derived directly from basic set theory. They are as "true" as anything else in math. (I'm a formalist---we're just playing a game that has a specific set of rules. :-))

"Sedenion neural networks provide a means of efficient and compact expression in machine learning applications and were used in solving multiple time series forecasting problems."

Well, I can't honestly say this is a panacea (or that it is in any way something that would work for you), since I'm struggling currently myself. But here's something I've been doing and I think has helped some:

I make it a point to go on a backpacking trip once per month (Not saying it has to be camping, although there are special benefits to spending time in the wild).

This is a hard commitment that I've made with myself. I do it whether I feel like it or not. Usually, I don't, but end up happy I did it anyway. I've posed this to my friends and family as my monthly "therapy session", because it is, and because that frames it more correctly than saying "I'm just farting around".

You can carve out a day or two for your therapy every month, even if it doesn't seem that way before you start. It might not be much, but it isn't nothing.

For me, being out in the wild, away from society (especially cell phones, the internet, and the media), is an important component.
Sure, but it is a very popular belief, and one that has been a prevailing "selling point" of crypto since its inception.
Yes and I find it snappier than before.

Math isn't property.

Laws enshrine property.

Bitcoin is a legal gray area. I'm sure it'll shape up some way or another, but maybe not the way we expect.
Which is probably negates by all the legal and lawsuit costs...

AFAIK It's mostly cheaper due to lower sales tax (aka VAT/GST which is ~10% vs 18-27% in Europe) and no China import duty. Finally being local currency helps somewhat because of currency stability I'd guess.
I do think I'm experiencing burn out, but I don't see myself quitting. It's weird.

I feel fine when I have to:

- refactor code

- create some new application code from scratch

- fix some business logic bug

I feel anxiety (and I experience burn out symptoms) when I have to:

- deal with any k8s issue

- incorporate any third-party library like oauth2-proxy

- run some migration in a big table

I don't like "infrastructure" topics, but as a "senior" software engineer I don't have a choice. I love dealing only with application code (e.g., classes, interfaces, modules, business logic, tests, etc.)
I like Jeff Geerling's books,

- Ansible for DevOps

- Ansible for Kubernetes

And something still computer related, but not as much tech related, The Cuckoo's Egg.
> Vacation doesn't help. It just puts me farther behind.

I didn't realize this until somewhat recently. The reason I don't take time off isn't because I don't want time off, or because I'm saving it for something better (like many of my colleagues seem to be). I don't take time off because deadlines don't care about time off and all it does is make the time surrounding it worse.
That book is going to turn out to be prophecy.

I mean, obviously we're not going to see a physical virus that enters as sensory information --

Wait. ... Are COVID and anti-masking part of the same replicator-complex? ... I see how anti-masking helps COVID. But how would COVID help anti-masking? I don't see how. ... Ok, probably not.

-- but that book's concerns seem incredibly prescient.

What disturbs me most is how L. Bob Rife, the bad guy, in his one and only monologue, in a TV recording (weird how he never appears in person), seems to... basically be correct.
