> 2.1 Calories in calories out is a bad model

True. It's insufficient. But it's not nothing. The article later claims that calorie consumption has "only" risen by about 20%. I find this take to be ridiculous. 20% is a lot. If I eat 20% more, I'll put on weight.

Article also claims sugar consumption is down and carb consumption is down so therefore they can't be the cause. Yet in prior years we see an extremely strong correlation between carbs and sugar consumed per person and % obesity. Corn vs. actual sugar. Artificial zero calorie sweeteners. It all adds up.
Of course whether or not this is bad depends on the percentage of ADAS systems out there from each manufacturer. If Tesla simply has more cars on the road with ADAS systems, the figure would not be surprising. That probably isn't the case, but without this information the crash figure is hard to evaluate. It may be that they have the most advanced ADAS system, causing drivers to behave differently with it.
I was at Palintir, and one of the things I learned from visiting is that they thrive in times of war, pandemics and recessions. Why aren't companies designed to be antifragile like this
Hi sean,

Thank you very much for the feedback. I already thought a bit about how to fix the issues that connecting nodes can be very finicky. Your feedback gave me the idea on how to implement it, thank you :)

Greetings, Jim
You don't have an in house ASIC team?! That's ok -- just call your HW provider and have them whip something up to include it when building out your next round of datacenters.
Some years ago I would suffer extremely bad dizzy spells periodically. A tip from a doctor was `may be due to caffeine', so I switched to decaf and removed other sources from my diet (cola, chocolate). The dizzy spells became progressively weaker and now do not occur!
why should a data dependency in a product be mirrored in organizational reporting? why is reporting better than collaborating?

saying frontend requirements drive backend work isn't always true. backend capabilities often drive frontend proposals.
Much of it boils down to water and/or irrigation. Maize (corn) likes wetter, wheat can stand dryer. In the US the corn belt starts in Ohio and includes eastern Nebraska, wheat is grown largely on the far western plains.

Wheat is also a viable winter crop --- fall planting / spring harvest for "winter wheat". That typically means 2 crops a year (winter + summer), and possibly more.

Rice is the third staple crop, though it wants a lot of water, and tends to be grown in subtropical climates as with China and India.

Other substitutes include barley, oats, millet, etc., though those are far less prevelant than wheat & maize.

That's actually what the term "retina" means (in Apple marketing lingo). It's the required pixel density, at different viewing distances, where you no longer see the pixels. Retina PPI for Macbooks is different compared to iPhones.
It was a different time - memory/CPU speed trade-offs were very different - we saw RISC once we were able to move cache on-chip (or very very close) - but at that point CISC made sense and the 432 pushed CISC to the extreme.

IMHO the x86 won out (an d is still with us) because of all the CISCs of its time it was the closest to RISC when memory started to get a lot faster (almost all instructions make at most 1 memory access, few esoteric memory operations etc)
Worthy of note, TLP did often harp on the fact that his view of 'narcissism' as a cultural phenomenon (I think he called it a "generational pathology") is NOT the same as the DSM definition. People are fooled into thinking every narcissist is the person with a self-inflated ego (I inferred the same from the OP, "Some of them are good enough to fool Jersey Shore candidates, while others can reach high executive positions and, in some cases, potentially win a presidential election..."). But TLP's definition was closer to someone who is completely focused on controlling others' perception of them. This could include a person who projects himself as a meek victim, but hyper-focused on relaying that image to others.

Although, this does fit quite well too: "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't care to drink tap water."

Anyway, not saying you said it was the same as the DSM definition, just adding some perspective since I read a lot of TLP and naturally compared what I read in the OP to what I remember from TLP's blog.
Are the external dimensions and body interface points of the keyboard assembly published anywhere?
Yeah, the problem w/ this theory is that they're still narcissists. You can do all the above and perhaps you'll succeed in convincing yourself you're having a "rewarding & meaningful interaction" ... but the "reward" and "meaning" for the narcissist is in what interacting with you does (and can be made to do) for them, especially and even ideally at the expense of you. It actually sounds a bit like the point of this post is to establish that you yourself are special for being able to get along with a narcissist -- which is exactly what they'd like you to be thinking and just sets you up even more so to be taken advantage of by them. For whatever it's worth.
That was significantly less funny, I think :(. Regardless of cat vs dog. More just funny dog pictures than ones connected to the status codes.
I have also had problems with Digikey shipping (and frankly terrible / disagreeable responses from customer support). Domestic shipping BTW.

I voted with my wallet and opted for Mouser during the years 2017 - 2020. I gave them another chance and haven't found cause for a complaint, but I also haven't hit any 'edge cases'.
Probably not. My reading of 8-5-201 through 8-5-203 seems to describe that as a violation. IANAL though.
I have to disagree as you have no evidence to support your position.

Based on the information provided, it seems highly unlikely to me that a guy who passed up an easy payday for a baseball would get an attorney friend to lie for what is likely going to be a very small claim. He still attended the game, and another game a couple days later, which likely rules out substantial suffering. So, given the low potential payout what would be his motivation? Simplest explanation is the guy just fell through an ill-maintained bridge. Could happen to anyone, really!
This is what I would do too. Keep them as far away as possible.
Indeed, there is probably no existing supply chain for whatever is necessary to make this corn fit for human consumption
> There is someone out there who would love to ... Let them do it

It seems to me, though, that OP vastly much better at that, than the others available. And that his co-workers have noticed this too.
Well if you actually convince them you solve the crisis. Since this mindset is not taught in public education it is left as an individual responsibility. I would promote autocratic censorship/tamming down of hysteric/fear mongering mediatic reporting on this specific topic but our government are not ready for that.
Coffee certainly can increase anxiety and thus trigger panic attacks.
I disagree. Like all disciplines, programming/software engineering at its apex is fundamentally a collaborative one. There are no "hermit" mathematicians or physicists. Ideas necessarily must be bounced around and refined.
Yeah this is not even remotely a crash. Even laggards who bought anything in late 2020 are still in profit. Anyone who bought anything pre 2020 is wildly in profit.

In 2008, SPX eventually crashed to 700ish - a level it had last seen in 1997. A whole decade of investor wealth was wiped out

Right now, we haven’t even seen the pandemic era wealth wiped out. This is honestly a paper cut compared to a proper 2008-like crash

> ask the average person who Snowden is

It's not changing the subject. The point of that statement was that most people are completely unaware of these issues. People shouldn't know who Snowden is because of his personality they should know him because of the information he revealed. You seem obsessed with him as a person for some reason.

> I'm not a Constitutional scholar

You don't have to be a constitutional scholar to understand that recording everything everyone is saying all the time is a violation of the 4th amendment. By your logic, only scholars are able to have legitimate opinions on the crimes of the government, no matter how plain and obvious they are. It's a good thing your philosophy wasn't held by the millions of people whose pressure and marches got the 13th amendment passed, almost none of them constitutional scholars.

> the ACLU and others would be more in front of abuse of power than you

They are in front, apparently you don't realize that the security state is more powerful than the ACLU. They've constructed secret courts (FISA) with secret laws written with words with secret interpretations, all designed to make these criminal programs legally impenetrable. The EFF has been suing over these problems for years, and took several years to even get a court to recognize its standing.

> you or some nerd here could ever pretend to be

And what is the point of this derogatory disrespectful statement? That because the ACLU exists, technologists that understand the mechanics of these abuses better than anyone should shut up and leave it the "scholars"?

> He harmed US and UK national security... they believe he handed over his harmful material to the Russians and Chinese

He handed over his evidence of US crimes to journalists who published it. If his goal was to hand over secrets to foreign governments he wouldn't have had it published in the news. Your evidence-free conspiracy theory isn't logical.

> Just because you like part of the information he exposed

Like it? He exposed some of the most heinous crimes of the US govt, who would like it? You apparently have no problem with these programs, which have already chilled free speech and protest against the government, because (I guess?) you're not "a scholar" and therefore unable to recognize crime when it's in your face, and because the citizens shouldn't be concerned about being the victims of crime or standing up for ourselves because the ACLU exists (???)

The points you're making are increasingly illogical.

> You've been duped

Duped by black and white evidence that even the government concedes was real? How does that work?
To add to this. In 2008, I had a small but genuine fear that society itself would start collapsing. You'd see headlines about bankrupt municipalities turning off their 911 service because they ran out of cash. There were genuine bank runs on major consumer banks where grandmas kept their checking accounts. Things felt close to the brink.

A lot of people forget that, because the recovery turned on so quickly in 2009. But nobody knew things would be so easy in the thick of November 2008.
Finish your studies and then you will get the chance to use better hardware :)

Color accuracy is super important to me whenever I need to design something on the frontend side of things. High resolution is important too because I'm working with my screens. That means that I stare many hours per day in the display. Life is too short for shitty hardware and most professionals in our industry or their companies can definitely afford it.
For a bit of time, I ran an over clocked FX 8320 and crossfire 7970's. The heat that machine put out was tremendous. I only had a wall mounted AC unit so I had to practically take my shirt off when I loaded it up.
The fact that they haven’t realized story points are like the score in “who’s line is it anyway” is a major red flag that they probably are not a 10x developer. Such a person would surely have ascertained the reality of the situation. The truth is that this person probably is above average in some aspects, but has a gross deficit in understanding the more nuanced aspects of the software business.
Probably depends on the broker and market. We bought in the bay area and RSU were counted as income (and fairly certain 1:1 by some lenders). And in some other areas they wont look at them at all is my understanding.
Pretty sure grandiosity correlates with schizophrenia and as far as I know shrooms/psychedelics are a big no-no for that.
Again, the Russians have said as much what they want. What they understand by "multi-polar world" is the US (and its allies), Russia, China, maybe India, maybe some other regional thingie, like South America/Mercosur maybe (I think by this point they're already branding the EU under "US and its allies", that wasn't always the case, especially around 2003-2005 when Germany and France were against the US intervention in Iraq).

Yes, they would want Ukraine under their sphere of influence, that one has been also made pretty clear by them ever since the USSR was broken up.
Could you elaborate on why it's a good idea to start a business in a recession?

The idea would be to reapportion the acreage, not the crop itself.

Yes, and a relatively harmless source of narcissistic supply would seem to be in the performing arts.

I think our narcissism is largely a product of a culture obsessed with individual identity, individual success and ego. One of the best pieces I ever read on HN was by a Shopify engineer just a month ago about why he serves in the British Yeomanry. (https://chrisseaton.com/army/)

"Being in the Army also grounds me in reality and in my community. The tech world can be a relatively narrow cross-section of society. When I spend time with the Army I interact with the full spectrum of my local community. My squadron has nurses, carpenters, architects, police officers, unemployed people, veterinarians, warehouse workers, tree surgeons, railway engineers, pilots, firefighters. I get to interact with people from a variety of backgrounds, a variety of economic situations, with a variety of outlooks[...] More than just interacting with a cross-section of society, it means building a very high level of trust and depending on each other. When we’re in the field there’s absolutely nowhere to hide, with no privacy and no time-off, and you’ll need to manage to get along. There’s a big taboo of being ‘jack’ and not looking after each other or serving yourself before others."

I had a similar experience when I had to do military service. I don't think there's a better cure for narcissism than getting out of your head and comfort zone, doing something for and with other people in the real world. We should remember where the word 'narcissism' comes from. From Narcissus staring into his own reflection. So sitting in your room, reflecting on how totally not narcissistic you are is never going to be a solution.
>Would you be better off to use a modern javascript variant and stuff like react instead? You also absolutely would.

Why?
> In theory the idea of OKRs is fine. They are "supposed" to give individuals a form of autonomous growth which can be related to the company and has a way to be measured and traced back. It gives them the "personal responsibility", "growth" and "autonomy" which tickles a particular type of people.

I still don’t even understand how that’s supposed to work unless you’re an executive with wide latitude to do what you think is best. I worked on what my manager told me to work on. All I can control is the quality of my own work. Maybe it wasn’t meant for the rank and file.
That's a social media motivated definition. It's actually a lot more than that.
Didn’t mean to come across as accusatory - on the contrary, it’s smart marketing and totally in keeping with the brand values.
I still get a couple dozen emails/week from recruiters in addition to phone calls, linkedIn connection requests,etc. - it seems like it's still close to the peak number. However, I suspect that's about to stop abruptly.
The problem I have with articles like these (and discussions about narcissism in general) is that they often fail to classify or recognize that like many aspects of our psyche it is a spectrum of behaviours and beliefs. The extreme examples are of course shocking and easily derided - but on some level we need a healthy amount of narcissism in our lives.

Thanks for the insult. Typical.

Since you can't discuss the physics-driven models you have to resort to diverting the conversation or attacking the messenger.

Good luck buddy. Live long and prosper.
I know of one. Many won't like it, though, because it involves flexing the muscles of the state. And at the end, I'm not sure the potential benefits outweigh the real risks.
Grain is at the root of our dietary and other consumption problems. Much of farmland is given over to growing corn for —-corn syrup and variations to put in processed, artificial ‘food’.

We can live better, healthier lives without grain.
Great article. The point about fearlessness resonated. Ray Tomlinson (wrote the first inter-machine email, picked the @ symbol, helped design TCP) was one of the best and most fearless engineers I ever worked with.
I think that is more part of your personal growth.

People wont change. Some never grow up. Some never get past baby stage.

No IDT WinChip though, that's mildly surprising
Think there is also a certain level of self-policing that happens in the military as well, which does not exactly reward those high in ego/self-centered behavior.

One thing I appreciate about my friends from the military, over a decade later even, is I can trust they’ll call me out when I deserve it (and vice versa).
I felt this way somewhat recently. Switching companies to a place that had top tier engineering talent put me in my place pretty quickly. Now I sweat like the rest of them — and trust me this is a good thing. You want your peers to challenge you, trust but verify, question assumptions. You want to cover each other’s backs. I’ve never been happier than I am now, because even though I’m working harder, I’m able to trust and lean on the people around me, and that’s so valuable.
I'm not sure the contrasting comparison being made is all that relevant, unless YC has also changed their deal terms.
interest rates follow inflation, it's too early to tell if inflation will go back being 4-7% like it was in the 1980s.

The Fed for sure wants it at 2%, not 2.5% , not 1.7%...

> Please keep that sort of slur off HN. We don't need it here, and you don't need it to make your substantive points.

I think that may be an overly heated response.

Given that I have seen the term used as a pronoun applied to multiple genders, sex preferences, races, ethnicities, etc, I see the term as speaking to behaviors, rather than being a pejorative unique to a group. Here are good examples of it being applied across multiple ethnicities and genders [1] & [2] . There is even a transgender karen [3] .

Normally it is applied to people acting improperly, hall-monitor type of behaviors where it is not warranted. Someone maliciously reporting food growing in a backyard meets the definition.

Please don't make decisions based off Wikipedia [4] or dictionary.com [5] redefining a word to meet a specific agenda.

I have found the opposite of the stereotype to be true; I feel I've learned more in the last 5 years or so than I have the previous 30 because I now have the experience to contextualize and sort it all, the discipline to stay focused and active when Real Life doesn't want to let me, and access to resources that would have cost an unreasonable sum even 10 years ago.
Genetic predictability steadily erodes during evolution, new study shows
I agree with all this, except for offering them your time. If you're not careful a narcissist will waste all your time and attention for self-validation (or perhaps other malicious purposes, depending on the type of narcissist). At that point you're just feeding the beast and reinforcing their expectation that they can demand limitless time and attention from people for their own vain needs. They will teach you to distrust yourself to suit their own inner narrative if they think you are challenging it.

Time and attention granted to narcissists needs to be watched very closely. You're totally right that they need to be approached with empathy, and you don't need to completely ignore them or treat them as pariahs. However it's OK to disengage with them when you're being exploited for their self-validation.

Unfortunately, I've really recently come to the realization that a longtime friend of mine has narcissistic traits, I didn't really realize it until another mutual friend started to get frustrated in the same way that I had been from time to time. Then I realized that my intuition was right, and how much the friendship had turned toxic because of how much it caused me to doubt myself, in service of their ego.

Since I had been giving them so much time and attention while trying to be a good friend, I realized that they were making me doubt myself so they never had to reflect on themselves or have their way of thinking challenged. They're not a bad person and I think it comes down to insecurities, but the past couple weeks that I'm actively tuning them out when things cease to be a conversation, and rather them just talking at me with no way to get a word in edgewise (sometimes for up to an hour at a time!), telling me the exact same story they just told me yesterday, or even a few hours ago, just to hear themself talk.

Since I started creating boundaries like that I have a lot more energy and focus for myself since I realized that it had convinced me to care about propping up their self-image rather than taking care of my own needs.
