The short answer is either:

1. Be willing to take a severe or entire pay cut at the start (i.e. Do it because you trust the person and believe the product and your equity will be worth it)

2. Know founders and investors and have a rich history of being a CTO / technical CEO with a plethora of launched apps to point at.

If safety is your #1 goal, you should be advocating for busses and trains. Those are infinitely safer than cars, self-driving or otherwise.

[edit] Transit is 10x safer than private cars. [1]

> The effects extend beyond individual trip choices, too: the report notes that transit-oriented communities are five times safer than auto-oriented communities. Better public transportation contributes to more compact development, which in turn reduces auto-miles traveled and produces safer speeds in those areas. On a national scale, too, the U.S. could make large advances in safety if each American committed to replacing as few as three car trips per month with transit trips.

I'd gone down the rabbithole the last few days of whether to use kivy or beeware for a personal powerlifting app I'm building as side project / learning experience. I'd gone as far as settling on Kivy and installing the dependencies (which took an extra few hours until I learned only python <= 3.8 is used), and now this pops up here and I'm reconsidering everything... again. On paper Beeware sounds perfect for my needs, but the limited community support has me timid to try.
I use something similar, but instead use a bit of javascript to obfuscate it so the email harvesters won't send me spam.
Everyone I know that has the funds are pulling their kids out primarily for the indoctrination aspect, and I plan to do the same.

I would dispute that this is the wrong reasons. The most common complaint I hear is around racial theory/ identity politics/ or whatever you want to call it. People don't like their 1st grade child being taught that they are an oppressor by virtue of their birth and guilty and responsible for generations of injustice.

These are views that I believe are harmful and untrue. I would feel the same way if the school was was teaching the earth revolved around the sun, or God made women to be subservient to men
Main routes are better served by combusting manufactured carbon neutral fuels airlines (United recently flew a route with 1 engine burning this fuel) are testing, using hybrid locomotives with smaller batteries for kinetic buffers. A big Chevy Volt essentially.

Electrifying US rail outside of switchyards won’t ever be practical, unless you could drive down the cost of electrified tracks with a third rail (overhead electric at this scale would be obscenely expensive).
Maybe because reality has proven that people don't know what they are doing.

One measure of happiness is being satisfied with what you’ve got.

It’s clear that you are becoming unhappy. At 80, I’m pretty happy and have been getting more so.

Like most people here, I’d recommend taking care of yourself physically. And go for long walks in the woods and parks. Appreciate what an amazing place this universe is!

I could make a number of suggestions beyond that, but I think the best one would be to take up a study of Zen, which is largely about escaping dissatisfaction.

Joko Beck’s books are a good entry.
> have the machine generate code and have the human review it

The best characterization of such massive language models I've seen is "world class bullshitters": they are very good at producing output that superficially looks plausible, but neither know nor care whether what they're saying has any relationship to the truth.

This is virtually guaranteed to make such code reviews very frustrating, and of course AlphaCode & co have no capability of explaining why they wrote a certain line. I can't see this having much of a role in a high quality code base, but I suspect the sort of management which currently would offshore coding to the lowest bidder would be quite enamored of it.
This might be the all-time worse comment I’ve seen on HN.
Perhaps you had a bad experience elsewhere. Dysfunctional companies exist. Sometimes a colleague will be hopelessly over their head, and will ask for help continuously to the point where you're doing all of their work. Or sometimes coworkers will hoard information and refuse to help you when you need help, leading you to feel that you also need to hoard information to have something to barter with.

No way of interviewing is inclusive. Whether you choose a test, just a conversation, working through a practical problem together or something else. There will always be people who will be great employees but struggle through your particular interview process. The way I see it I would do very simple interview and then just sort it out during the probation period. It's easy to see after a few weeks if someone knows what he or she is talking about.
From the article:

> Morganella has already been implicated in depression. As far back as 2008, researchers investigating a possible link between depression and inflammation found depressed people had stronger immune responses to chemicals produced by Morganella and other gram-negative bacteria in the gut. Thus, the newest study seems to be “further proof” that inflammation caused by gut microbes can influence mood, Gilbert says.
I appreciate your sentiment, although I do like to see the language, personally, if it's something I need to compile - not everyone has x-toolchain.

When does it plan to start doing that? Safety features in cars have come for decades without trying to kill people first. Just ask Volvo.

I'm sad that we forgot the value of core dumping. Stacktraces are cool and all, especially when you're developing and just want to know which assertion didn't hold. In production we have to deal with issues that we can't reproduce, and a a huge step up from stacktraces in that context is dumping core.

I wish there was an easy way to dump core from java inside a docker container, and some sort of software for keeping track of them. Something like coredumpctl and journald, but for k8s.
First and foremost, the constant feeling that time is running out is just the effect of a big marketing machine built to make you vulnerable to their suggestions. Life isn't a race, and certainly not a race for money and things.

At 35 you are not even close to old, and even when you do become 'old' there will still be plenty of time for new things, excitement and fulfillment. It will just look different than when you were 20, and that's a good thing. Most 20 year olds are shallow and certainly not 'fulfilled' in any meaningful way. That's why they spend so much time escaping to festivals, bars and clubs.

Feeling stuck, behind or in the doldrums is normal from time to time. It's a sign that you need a change. If you're single and with half a mil in the bank at 35, you're one of the very very lucky few. You aren't living paycheck-to-paycheck and no-one's dependent so you absolutely have the luxury of time, lots of it!

You can afford to change things up, make some mistakes, and figure it out. Start with a focus on your health: both body and mind. Then you'll naturally get a better perspective on the other aspects of your life, and how to change them for the better.

My life as I currently know it didn't even start until everything I had built fell apart around 40. Since then I've had 2 kids and third on the way, a couple of exciting career changes, built things with my hands, learned entirely new skills, navigated disasters. Just one example - I learned to ski at 40, and over the next few years trying to keep up with my wife I managed to learn enough to be able to do some of the most challenging and beautiful runs in the Rockies.

To be honest I feel younger (at-heart) than when I was 30 and playing by the rules, living for the weekends. There are so many ways you can find fulfillment in life beyond socializing in entertainment venues.

I'm nearing the 50 mark and expect the next decade to be just as full as the last. I probably won't be skiing many double-black diamonds, but you bet I'll be following my kids to the top of the mountain even if it's to wave at them and take the easier way down. I can't even imagine the adventures that face us.

I'm sure you have no idea what's ahead for you, either. Just don't let it be another night on the couch in front of a screen. Look forward.
Two patients and no control group is virtually useless for drawing any conclusions:

I see nothing in that research showing causation. It doesn't invalidate their correlation though.
An additional problem is that pedestrians, cyclists, etc. also pay for it.
Maybe someone is running a social experiment on us.
You seem to be ignoring the last and most crucial point:

> If they want to test it out on public roads, run the analysis and look at whenever it diverges from the drivers decisionmaking instead.

It would be trivial to analyze the data after the fact to see where the AI model diverges from the human driver’s actions, decide which one was right, then implement the correct action. That wouldn’t slow down testing at all, as the only difference is who’s controlling the vehicle. In any beta test, someone still has to analyze the data.
Even if it means that a loved one of yours would get run down by one of these, it's ok in the end, because it helped improve some billionaire's beta tech-demo?
I just think that if you dig one level deep you'll find the root cause is the same. If someone's narcissistic they're doing that probably because they have a certain self-image that is all tied up to their self-worth that they want to preserve.

It's all about you at the end.

I still have the Heathkit terminal which I built, too. I haven't powered it up in nearly 30 years.

At one point I added a 6Mb hard disk drive to it. Built my own interface card, wrote the driver. That made the H11 far, far more usable. But that's gone, too.
It seems like you are joking, but many of the fecal transplant patients report their food preferences changing, sometimes dramatically.
So the FDS feature is tied to the car, rather than your personal account with Tesla? In that case, is it possible to transfer the deposit for FSD to the new Tesla owner? If so then presumably you could choose to reflect that in the price you choose to sell the car.
As mentioned in the article, there is already a causal hypotheses for why the biome itself is the cause, certain people have strong immune responses to the products of these bacteria which causes a chronic inflammatory response.
Nothing totally new, but it is an attribute based extension of html that allows any element to generate http get/post and handle/target a hypermedia response back into the dom... without the need (but still have the option) to write javascript if you want. You end up writing almost zero js and it's wonderful.
Hey it sure feels nice to know that now a "dog" is much more clever than me.

but then again, its approach is so vastly different that it makes it really incomparable with our typical modus operandi. It's throwing millions of monkeys into millions of typewriters and actually producing "to be or not to be" reliably.

I don't see AI writing Shakespeare in my lifetime though (I hope to die rather soon).
I think the intentions behind the norm are for generic expressions of gratitude to be restricted to upvotes. When there are so many people communicating with each other in a shared environment, you kind of have to have a rule like that.

If this website had private responses, that'd solve that issue, but it'd also make abusive behaviour easier. Then you'd need to have a report system that allowed people to provide context, and before you know it, you need a large moderation team rather than the very small one that Hacker News currently gets away with.

I wonder whether there's a way to have it both ways.
That’s about what I expected, and really mostly awful for the reasons explained above (and then some).

This isn’t true in the sense the article is talking about. There are nowhere near enough American forces ready for a strike into Mexico. Supplies and whatnot haven’t been stockpiled for an invasion of Mexico and the probability that Russia invades Ukraine next week is far greater than the probability that the U.S. invaded Mexico next week. Clearly one possibility is worth far greater consideration than the other.
The 3Blue1Brown video considers using the second list to be cheating, so that is probably the reason for a different optimal first guess. It takes a more general approach to figuring out which words are probably on the list, using a sigma distribution on top of the list of most common english words. (Notably, Grant admits at 19:59 that the parameters for this sigma distribution are a shot in the dark.)

This way, the bot can be used to play wordle against any adversary and not just the original game, since every valid word (1st list) can be guessed.
I’m not saying there’s no single issue voters, just that the single issues are not universal and depend on culture and geography.

Does it include body battery too? Do you find it useful?
Yep, battery energy density is still far off from fossil fuels.

This is from 2012 but still relevant and why we don’t have electric commercial passenger planes, and probably never will until we make 10x gains in energy density:

“””
Stored energy in fuel is considerable: gasoline is the champion at 47.5 MJ/kg and 34.6 MJ/liter; the gasoline in a fully fueled car has the same energy content as a thousand sticks of dynamite. A lithium-ion battery pack has about 0.3 MJ/kg and about 0.4 MJ/liter (Chevy VOLT). Gasoline thus has about 100 times the energy density of a lithium-ion battery. This difference in energy density is partially mitigated by the very high efficiency of an electric motor in converting energy stored in the battery to making the car move: it is typically 60-80 percent efficient. The efficiency of an internal combustion engine in converting the energy stored in gasoline to making the car move is typically 15 percent (EPA 2012). With the ratio about 5, a battery with an energy storage density 1/5 of that of gasoline would have the same range as a gasoline-powered car. We are not even close to this at present.

I'm not sure there's a way to regulate consumer stupidity. People are conned into losing money everyday, not all of those cons are crimes.
My personal, completely unsubstantiated take is: your diet allows certain bacteria to thrive (or not). It’s less about trying to avoid the bad ones and more about trying to nurture the good ones. One incredible thing you can do for your gut is eat more fiber; which the vast majority of Americans don’t. Try psyllium husk powder (the stuff in Metamucil). Eat less refined sugar and saturated fat; eat more raw and fermented vegetables. Probiotics are kind of a scam, and are usually really expensive. Like most things with health, you have to consistently do the not-so-fun things to get good results, you can’t just take a pill and move on.
British author, chef and campaigner Jack Monroe's been saying some interesting things recently regarding poverty and food price inflation [0]. She argues that those at the bottom of the income spectrum suffer a far higher percentage rate of inflation, in part because supermarkets just withdraw their cheapest priced ranges forcing the less well-off to spend more, even if the next highest price product has remained roughly the same price. She's working on a new measure of food price inflation named in honour of Terry Pratchett and with the blessing of his estate [1]

One way towards spiritual health is to find wonder in things beyond my control, and for me that is primarily looking at the moon and stars, augmented by walls in the woods and noticing phenology—-what animals are active when, noticing frost on the ground, posting attention to the wind direction by feel, things like this. I don’t ascribe any meaning to any of this, just immerse myself in the observation practice.
My milage does vary.

Because is it datetime.datetime.now? or date_time.date_time.now? or datetime.Datetime.now? Or datetime.DateTime.now? Or DateTime.now? or dt.datetime.now?

Because it could be any of those. Some people import datetime like numpy (import numpy as np) so they can call timedelta like dt.timedelta and this is fine and everything, but the combination of no standard in python for how to do this, plus the hard to remember interfaces, plus the multiple libraries that try to do the same thing and the different way they differ in capitalization, etc. Means there is just way too much to remember off the top of your head.

In ruby it's Time.now and I never forget it and I never have to import it and that is honestly awesome. If I open a shell anywhere in any project for any version of Ruby I've used the current time is just eight chars away, and even though I love Python, that has never been the case on any Python project I've worked on and I've worked on more than a few.
It feels like moving around a fixed urban area rather than travelling at high speed through mostly empty areas is probably the more impactful place to remove ICE engines.

Similar to how electric busses usually get assigned to the start-stop routes in the urban centres.

I didn't think they were bemoaning a lack of beatings. It sounded like they were talking about how they don't have tools to discipline students. Stuff like some schools doing away with detention, etc. Then they put in their experience of corporal punishment growing up.
I was a software dev, and then a technical co-founder, so when the idea became a company and the company grew, i kinda grew into the CTO role. But I did manage to build a team and a product, so i think i was taken seriously because of that.

Someone here mentioned a flashlight, so I'll mention what's by far the best headlamp I've ever bought, and I've tried a lot - the Nitecore NU25. Red LEDs, white LEDs, high-CRI LED, and it weighs under an ounce (although the headband adds 0.7 oz or so.)

Yeah, if you look at safety standards in other industries, this is really unacceptable. It should be stopped immediately.

Also, why do we allow car manufacturers to test their own software? Shouldn't it be done by a third party? And shouldn't that third party be the only ones allowed to push updates to the car?
Yeah I'd think so too. I should clarify: lack of popularity as a desktop OS means less desktop/amateur viruses. I'd assume most server attacks are more targeted and curated.

It's basically unnecessary to run any sort of anti-malware program on Linux, because not enough people use it for writing viruses for it to be profitable. And because the people who use it as a desktop are generally more knowledgeable and safe with their habits.
