I remember how TV ads were in Japan back in 2015, they pretty much remind me of tiktok today. Very quick, jumpy transitions and over the top acting compared to stuff in the west. Seemed also pretty common in South Korea at the time.

Vivid, more contrasting colors also made their way in line with today's flat design interfaces in consumer apps, but that seems common everywhere and I guess it was in reaction to the overuse of the hipster faux-vintage aesthetic.

It seems also that some companies have taken cues from the fashion world, seeing the way tv ads storylines are executed now.

Agreed, procrastination is a feelings problem and it requires feelings solutions.

Often when I finally start doing the thing I was putting off, the realization will hit me: "this is really hard," or "this feels really bad." I hadn't consciously expected those feelings but they were there under the surface, contributing to the urge to procrastinate.

I remember this article really changing my mindset when I first read it. “Procrastination is an emotion regulation problem, not a time management problem....”

I feel like either you might be massively out of touch or this is a most not-so-subtle totally unverifiable flex ever.

I'm reminded of that episode of Arrested Development.
"I mean it's just one banana Michael, how much could it possibly cost? $10?"
"You've never actually set foot inside of a grocery store before, have you?"
That's incorrect. In World War 1 both sides had extremely rigid operational plans. The German operational plan even included specific times down to the hour, for when specific bridges and road junctions should be captured.

Indeed, what saved the Entente in World War 1 was the fact that Belgium, which had been expected to roll over and allow the German army unmolested free passage, actually called up its military and fought. That ruined the German timetables, allowing France to complete its mobilization and brought the British into the war preventing a quick German victory on the Western Front.

Towards the end of the war, yes, Germany was beginning to move towards what we would consider a "commander's intent"-based system. Erwin Rommel's text, Infantry Attacks, captures this transition. However, it's inaccurate to say that the German military was any less rigid than the British.

It is also inaccurate to say that the death rates of the German army were any less than they were for the British. Perhaps in 1914 and 1915, as well-trained German regulars were facing off against the "Pals Brigades", the Germans inflicted more casualties than they received. But by the end of the war, as the German economy was crumbling and the prospect of US involvement made the German generals desperate, they resorted to mass infantry charges with relatively untrained soldiers, and took extremely heavy casualties as a result.

If anything, your description of the German army is more accurate for the Wehrmacht in World War 2 than it is for the Kaiser's army.
Are you kidding?! SQL is an ancient mess with different dialects and idiosyncrasies. What bringing a query engine into Python gives is a functional query DSL. DuckDB’s non-SQL interface, where you build up a query plan from nodes in Python is the future: you can give names and reuse subqueries, you can programmatically generate query trees, you get all of the power of a real programming language for analytics, and it all gets boiled down to fast implementations of relational operators.

As someone only passingly familiar with Rust and coming from a JS/TS background I agree this article is not helpful. If you want to make the jump:

- if a good article would be useful to you, the best resource will almost definitely be The Rust Book which is just a really well organized and easily accessible website

- if you prefer just exploring, Rust and its ecosystem is a lot easier to just wander into and try stuff than JS; but it’s going to feel really strict and have unfamiliar rules even if you’re used to strict TS

- even if you bail out of either it’s worth the time, I guarantee you’ll learn something even if it doesn’t show its value right away

I've got to echo: "Don't be a mentor, be an enabler instead." from another comment. You don't know what you don't know, so trying to figure out the direction for the future may be just confusing for both. I've been doing tech for ~2 decades and my son won't get guidance from me in any specific direction - but I'll show him as many different things as I can, because I have no idea what will be both fun and relevant in 20 years.

Really, it doesn't matter what the best choice today is that much - everything helps with everything else. Just starting something today matters. My best tech experience from highschool years was doing something noone around me knew about or even could recommend even though I grew up with techy father - but it happened by finding the right community online and just trying. On the other hand I got some well meaning guidance from my mom that just wasn't realistic. I don't mean that to discourage you from getting informed - just saying that you can do so much more to help in other ways: providing resources, finding ways to look for answers, looking for local groups, saying "you want to do X - great, try it, show me what's cool about it!".

Also watch out with reading too much HN or other sources. Each one of us is really biased in what we do and some groups are massively underrepresented here. For example the 9-5 consultants who are just as much a part of the industry.

Edit: Also keep in mind there's lots of tech/other crossover areas where you can learn tech+something at the same time. For example https://rosalind.info/ for bioinformatics, https://www.cryptopals.com/ for cryptography, automatic stock trading challenges that I can't recall the name of right now, etc.

Edit 2: "I feel like I am letting her down when she wants to discuss specifics, i.e. What do I think about the future of AI, which programming languages will remain relevant etc." - You're not! If she's serious about this direction, she'll leave you far behind in what she knows - and that's great! You can still help her help herself. You found places to improve your own knowledge, so you know how to keep learning :-) Also you don't need to know the answers for a good conversation - good questions will do: What does she think of the ai? Why? What's currently missing? Is anyone talking/blogging about solving it? What will it change? Who will benefit? What's the next challenge?

Perhaps my wording was not as eloquent as it could have been. I'm not attempting to be her friend. I'm attempting to help my kid navigate her decisions for post high school education and I'm woefully uneducated in that which she is trying to determine. If she were interested in medical school, which is my field, then having a conversation with her about trending specialities, the future of surgical robotics etc. would not be considered pressuring her. It would be the same thing millions of parents across the country are doing to ready their children for college.
However it isn't medical school, and I don't think I should be faulted for trying to at least be able to understand the terminology of some of her thoughts and concerns?

It's one factor of many that affects your overall attractiveness and many people don't care about it at all.

You're better off having an operator in your language that explicitly chains together methods returning Result<T,E>s. That way, you can easily get this behavior if that's what you want, but it's clear from reading the code that it's intentionally not quite a simple chain of method calls.
Wanted a vanilla zendesk implementation; got a new UI development paradigm.
As a different way to express this:

Compared to Go, Rust makes many kinds of edge cases mechanically discoverable. You cannot forget them.

As in Go, you can of course handle them poorly, and sometimes this is an ergonomic win. E.g. it's basically always trivial to panic (same as missing some critical cases in Go) or return the wrong value (literally all other cases in Go).

The primary difference isn't how you handle them, it's if you are aware that there are edge cases. Go is extremely lax here.

As I explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31222098, I don't think this explanation is correct. You're right that bool → bool is not a subtype of α → α, and that function types are contravariant on their argument type. But because function types are not also covariant on their return type, the same logic would tell us that α → α is neither a subtype of bool → bool nor a supertype.

In fact, though, α → α is a subtype of bool → bool, for reasons that have nothing to do with covariance and contravariance. We can define a function whose argument is of type bool → bool; here in OCaml:

# let abool f = not (f true) ;;
val abool : (bool -> bool) -> bool = <fun>

And we can define a function of type α → α:

# let f = fun x -> x ;;
val f : 'a -> 'a = <fun>

And that function is perfectly acceptable as the argument to abool, or indeed in any other context where we need a function of type bool → bool:

# abool f ;;
- : bool = false

Thus α → α is a subtype of bool → bool, and also int → int, string → string, etc. And this is not because the value restriction has been sneakily applied behind our backs; f and abool still have their original types:

# abool ;;
- : (bool -> bool) -> bool = <fun>
# f ;;
- : 'a -> 'a = <fun>

And we can still apply abool to a function that's unashamedly bool → bool:

# abool (fun x -> not (not x)) ;;
- : bool = false
# not ;;
- : bool -> bool = <fun>
# abool not ;;
- : bool = true

So specialization is not another name for covariance, and you absolutely can specialize α → α to bool → bool.

Most of these stem from the way DALLE-2 is designed - in particular the composition, counting, negation and concept blending examples. In the paper they explain that these aspects were deliberately sacrificed in order to improve image quality and diversity, and for the ability to generate variations of an existing image.

These aspects were much better in the prior version (GLIDE), which conditioned on text tokens instead of just a fixed length vector.
DALL-E is really impressive, but many believe it shows we're making progress towards AGI (the explicit end goal of Open AI), or at least it's displaying some degree of "understanding" (whatever that means).

If I ask for a red box on top of a blue box on top of a yellow box, and the model gives me an image with two boxes side-by-side (albeit a very high quality one), it's hard to believe there's much "understanding" of (a) box, (b) colour, (c) relative positioning. Likewise if I ask for six penguins and it gives me four penguins, can we confidently say there's any "understanding" of what a penguin is?

Again, that's not to say it's not mind-blowing technology/progress in machine learning. It most certainly is. But I'm not ready to give up on every other angle and go all-in on large diffusion models as the path to AGI.
It's "best players" from the vendor's perspective: players found willing to pay money out of pocket.

I think this article is useful and insightful, but it's missing a big piece that I think is important to emphasize: being woke and looking to others to supply feelings of validity are kind of the same thing. That's one way to diagnose wokeness.

Genuine feelings of justified self esteem do not come from outside oneself. They come from 1) knowing what is good and 2) living according to one's knowledge of what is good. Another way of saying this is, not only do you need to have a somewhat accurate compass to know which way to go, you also need to actually go the way you know you should go. These things together give you the justified approval of your own conscience, to some degree (incomplete approval because you don't have perfect knowledge of what is good, and you don't do it perfectly anyway because you're not a saint)

The woke fail catastrophically at this kind of stuff. They don't have any deliberate self-cultivation practice that helps them understand what is good. Not knowing what is good, they often err in favor of what feels good at the moment. They have (correct, justified) dislike/disapproval of themselves. They project their badness onto others. When others don't make the same mistake of seeing their own badness in everyone else, the woke mistake themselves for specially enlightened for being able to see the world's badness.

In a way, I think I actually do walk around feeling valid. But the feelings of others are not involved in that estimation. I am a very flawed person, a scruffy wild animal raised by other wild animals, a child raised by children who were themselves raised by children, with no adults in sight no matter how far back one looks, but I have found a process for gradually making myself better, and I am dragging myself down that path for my benefit and everyone else's benefit -- so what else would anyone ask of me? My ability to want the best for others and to do what I know is correct even when no one is looking is steadily growing. I have the justified approval of my own conscience telling me I am OK, no matter what others say.

I don't look to others to tell me I am OK. I don't want their praise. I'm the only one who knows enough to judge, anyway. I will either be happy from living up to my own expectations of myself, or put myself in misery by failing to do that. It is up to me alone.

What kind of self-improvement process am I talking about? Stuff like prayer and meditation. It doesn't matter what it's called, as long as you're gradually training your neurons and synapses and whatever other brain stuff to be more kind, compassionate, joyful in the well being of others, equanimous, generous, grateful, etc. There were good reasons to dislike religion, but I think at this point we have to wonder if we didn't throw out the baby with the bathwater when we discarded religion. The woke may serve to remind us that religion, despite its flaws, was providing great benefit.

This fundamentally misunderstands how evolution works. Evolution's tactic isn't to make you want things that lead to reproduction. Evolution tries to make you do things that lead to reproduction. The wanting is only applied if it's convenient. If the desire for tall men is evolutionarily based (which seems plausible, but has not been demonstrated) then that provides no reason to expect women consciously believe anything in particular about tall men — in fact, there's no guarantee that any other evolved behaviors are the direct realization of corresponding conscious desires, either. Evolution would be perfectly happy giving you a sexual interest for X useful trait without ever explaining to you why you like that. See also: "good with his hands".
