Buy a bike with matching frame for your height, with good double suspension, e.g. with front and rear RockShox or better, and raise the handlebar to a comfortable height. Your back will thank you.

Install all safety systems: front and rear bike lights, mirror, reflectors, use helmet, reflectors, wear reflective jacket, etc. You must be visible at the road at all times. (I use no helmet, because I'm trained to fall properly, but I recommend to wear helmet until you fall at least 10 times.)

Ensure that your legs are working for the full length, by raising the seat as much as you can, to avoid problems with joints. I'm raising my seat so much, that it feels like running, because I press pedal with toe instead of whole foot. Otherwise, you will have powerful legs, but weak foots, so you can break your heel just by running. (I did).

If you ride in winter conditions, lower the bike seat until you can reach the ground with the tips of your shoes instead, so you can reach the ground quickly when the road is slippery.

Bike will make your legs strong and healthy, but your upper body will require additional training. AFAIK, the best way to keep the whole body in good condition is to combine biking with swimming or sport dancing. (I use biking + ballroom dancing). Ballroom dancing also improves situation awareness a lot: I never had a collision with somebody else after few years of ballroom dancing.

Makita Brushless 5amp drill combo set. I have used a wide variety of battery powered drills and drivers for decades. If you do a lot of home projects building things, you will use these tools often. Never was dissatisfied with other brands (Ryobi, Bosch), but decided to treat myself one year as I believe Makita Brushless is top of the line today and I wanted more powerful batteries. Best decision ever. So much power, the 5 amp batteries last so long. I have driven 1/2 x 6 inch lag bolts into fence posts with the driver and it did not complain. Just an amazing upgrade (notably because of the 5 amp batteries). If you are starting out building a tool set, splurge and get these. Just remember to store them in your house not the garage as heat/cold cycles can really reduce the batteries cycle count. Only negative is that the driver is so powerful one must be careful when driving smaller screws. Also, spend the extra money to get a good set of bits. I went with Makita for this as well, and the bits are very, very good relative to the many, many others I have used (Dewalt, Milwaukie, etc.) Links (I bought the drill/driver set at a good price thru Amazon with the smaller/lighter drill which proved a very good decision for me):

This is a warrant:

1. Issued in relation to attempted arson, which I think we all agree fits closer with "serious crime" than "civil disobedience"

2. The warrant is detailed and specifically identifies two specific subjects, identified through CCTV footage and described in the warrant.

3. Is approved by a magistrate in a federal court.

4. Is issued for a specific location and a specific timeframe (75 minutes).

5. Is for a specific record of movements during the location and time, without account details, before the FBI asks which account details they want to subpoena.

Let's look at the fourth amendment:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized

Is there probable cause? Indisputably.

Was the application made under oath? Yes.

Is there a specific place? Yes, both in terms of space, and in terms of time.

Does it clearly describe what to be seized? Yes.

Has a warrant been issued by a Magistrate after review? Yes.

Sounds good to me. I oppose mass surveillance (fuck you, NSA), but this seems constitutional and reasonable to me.

If you don't have kids you are missing a fundamental understanding of what is driving most people each and every day. You are clueless about most of the world because most people have kids and it profoundly affects them. You can't know this unless you experience it yourself.

It's also difficult to understand what you are getting into by having kids. It brings on a profound level of anxiety about their feelings and ultimate happiness. Your world is not yours anymore. You don't control them and you can rarely fix them. Anything that makes them sad is like a stab to your heart that requires immediate action. Imagine having a kid that does not have any ambitions and struggles to find any happiness and has problems with drug addiction. Get ready to have your soul ripped out.

Not having kids prevents this very possible outcome and allows you to focus on pampering yourself with your millions your whole life...with the side effect of perhaps coming to the conclusion that your own life is meaningless somewhere down the road.

If you reach a certain age and are still childless just know that nearly everyone will feel sorry for you.

The world does not revolve around single people...at all.
I think it would be more accurate to say that UTF-8 is a Unicode Transformation Format which by its name is logically distinct from Unicode itself. There are good reasons to store and process Unicode in UTF-8 format internally in many cases, but UTF-32 / UCS-4 would probably take over for internal processing if it weren't for memory usage and efficiency issues.
So, are you buying lottery?

I mean, I support scratching this particular lottery ticket, because unlike lottery whose reward (money) is fungible, if it pays off we will get information we won't get any other way. But we shouldn't expect to win, that's all I am saying.
Maybe early retirement / FIRE would help a bit here.

I am about to hit 30 soon and I came up with the idea of Retire 35 to start planning for the inevitable.

If you haven't figured out what to do, early retirement can at least give you more time to think about it without the stress / burnout / worrying about work or finances.

This problem has been (albeit imperfectly) addressed in speech recognition. When error corrections are made through the the UI the engine can learn from those corrections. Presumably over time the corrections needed in alphacode will become more semantic than syntactical. But you're right, correcting subtly flawed code or text is way harder than writing from scratch.
I also wonder what a child would think that read that.
Which rate of progress are we ITT expecting from alphacode-like models?

In another thread I predicted we’d see competitive programming “solved” in ten years or less.

I didn’t rigorously explain what I meant by that in that thread, so I’ll clarify what I meant.

I expect AI to beat humans at competitive programming at the same rate as AlphaGo beats human Go players.

There could be diminshing returns soon but I don’t see what would cause them.
I think Darkness at Noon by Koestler is the best book about how system breaks man and forces into submission. The ending of 1984 is rather pale in comparison.

There are also a few books by Russian authors on that topic, but Koestler’s work is just better at capturing the essence of the system.

Make your own giant, the entire wall, whiteboard for practically nothing. Go to your local lumber, home building supply store and purchase "laminated particle board, shower wall panels". Last time I did this, they were about US $23 for a 6'x9' panel. Two of these completely cover an ordinary single bed sized room from wall to wall. I just drill the thing right into the wall, and grab white-board markers. I showed the building maintenance manager this trick at an animation studio I worked, and in a week the entire studio's walls, every wall, became a whiteboard. Scribbling ideas, any idea, on one's wall is liberating.
Not everybody is created equal. I love my kids, don't get me wrong. But I also know people that live for their art, their skill, their ability to help others and so on.

Nearly everyone is a pretty large assumption, I think you speak mostly for yourself, not for 'nearly everyone'.

I was thinking the other day: asking a few friends to up-vote submissions is common practice and something probably done all the time on HN. On the other hand, deliberately creating new accounts to up-vote all your sockpuppet account submissions can be detected. HN doesn't go into how they detect it for obvious reasons though.

He's not underplaying it. He is telling him to have perspective. Life has been pretty good to OP, at least as he portrays it.

OP is not wrong. Time is running out. His best physical years are behind him. On the plus side he has deep experience. He probably has seen quite a bit. Maybe his feeling of having seen everything is justified.

Existential dread is a bit of a thing, but it comes for the successful and the truly unsuccessful alike.

OP is also probably right, it's probably time to find a new passion, in tech or outside of tech. All of the other advice in this thread to really make sure you're focused on your health in all forms from this age forward is spot on.

There's no reason you couldn't take the expectation value of a derivative. Linearity of expectation means this will be equal the derivative of the expectation value.

What you call luck, I'd call magic. The important thing to understand about magic tricks is they're really not all that magical once you learn how to perform them. People are also willing to overlook a great deal when they believe you're a luckbringer. My manager for instance cared about me on a personal level because I was contributing to his success. When the VP took me away, it weakened him.
Using Private Apt Cache

I just recently did this. The radio was $89 and had the fewest features I could find: CD, USB, aux, am/FM and NO Bluetooth or touch screen which exactly fit my requirements. It's replaced my terrible touchscreen system and given me 2 single din slots of storage space. Replacement was relatively easy and as long as you have a headphone jack on your phone, there are no issues. Just need a soldering iron, removal kit, car-specific mounting kit, and model-specific wiring harness.

Of course, it's much easier to find one with Bluetooth; there are tons of other ones with "smart" features that are the same price.
Amen to that. I recently bought a cheap Westinghouse display off Newegg that was 1440p@144hz, and it makes for an incredible primary display. I'm not exactly sold on "retina" pixel density, but having the extra screen real-estate is pretty lovely for productivity purposes. I'll definitely be considering a 4k display over the next few months, if I can get the kind of GPU to drive it reliably.
It depends on the flavor you like. The espresso flavor is much more mellow in my opinion. Drip can be great but you need to have a preference for that style
Probably my split keyboard running QMK. It's a Sofle I built from a kit. It forced me to learn to touch type, and after taking some time to setup layers I can now reliably type code at 65+ wpm. That's a big improvement for me, and more importantly I can now type without the interruption of having to look at the keyboard.

This list is absurd for two reasons. First, it tunnel visions on tech companies without having the self awareness to note that most of the things it criticizes these companies for are shared by all capitalist enterprise. Just look at the list of evils committed by Amazon. Poor working conditions? Cutthroat competition? Seeking taxpayer subsidies? Manipulating the tax code to achieve a lower bill? Working closely with the government? Kowtowing to China?

How on earth are any of these things unique to Amazon or tech?

And the second flaw is resultant from Slate being a propaganda outlet for big city liberals--absolutely no mention of the campaign of Democrat supported free speech suppression that these platforms have embarked on.
100% on 1&2 but would qualify, ime, travel is a cheap thrill if you overdo it. It's great to shake things up once in awhile, but not something the average person wants to sustain on a regular basis. Personal projects, hobbies, and sociable fun become the long-invested experiences

We don't have anything that even remotely resembles a free market economy on the level of big tech!

We have an economy that functions by virtue of central banks pumping billions into venture capital firms. Venture capital investors in turn speculate on big tech companies that never make any profit. It's a top-down regulated economy full of Ponzi schemes, where a handful of brokers with a virtually unlimited supply of government money make the rules. That is why big tech and big business agenda's are constantly at odds with the popular opinion on the internet and society. They don't care because it is no longer your money they need.

> Even if the source changes frequently its better to automate. Its not when it keeps changing daily or more then that.

Now I think we can get somewhere! Is this an admission that automation is not worth it when the processes or inputs change too often?

If so, then this frequency (which you have given as daily) depend entirely on the business needs in question.

Often, there's no business case to run an automated process daily.

Weekly or even monthly are very common intervals for processes in business. For a process that needs to run monthly, you only get twelve executions in a year. If the inputs change every six months, do you still think spending 60+ commits (as in your settings example) is worth it every six months, when there are cheaper ways to do it with limited human intervention?

In theory.

In reality, find me a branch of government not captured and bent to the will of one or more industries.

Find me senators not bought and paid for. find me regulatory bodies not captured and full of revolving door positions staffed with industry insiders.

The state doesn't live in a bubble. It's not theory of "hey democracy works on paper". It's a real thing and much more complicated.

The people are often bent to the will of the state rather than the state bending to the will of people. I can cite endless popular positions that fail to get any meaningful traction for a decade or more.
