The way I see it, don’t get bored. Do things so you’re not bored. Having purpose helps tremendously, as well as being loved / part of a group and creating value for people / a group.

You’ll probably change intensities of focus on various things throughout life, I think we all do so don’t think there will just be one path and that’s it.

Anyway, yea, anything impactful usually takes time. I don’t know people who conquered the world overnight. Maybe you tried startups / big ideas and they didn’t pan out the way you imagined so you’re giving up on that a bit. If so you failed and learned what not to do that’s good - you tried. And in the end, trying lots of things keeps life not boring - especially when you « fail » and then try harder newly gained experience and hypothesis. Big ideas, relationships, hobbies - just try new things and don’t stay bored and I’m sure you’ll subconsciously guide yourself to where you need to be.

Yeah, I don't think any of that needs much money, or even financial freedom. Nor does it sound boring. So I'd say you're on the right path.
Back when I was a baby programmer in the early 00s picking tools to learn about (I'm self taught), I picked a few obscure looking things that looked like the right choice. These included R (which has now taken over the statistical world), Debian, Postgresql and Perl (good choice for me - worked out well).

Pg always looked like a better choice than mysql to me. As evidenced during an early job I did where mysql disappeared some of my data it really shouldn't have done due to its well understood but not by me back then pitfalls.

pointwise isn’t a case of grouped conv, they’re orthogonal ideas.

You can fuse grouped convs (depthwise is a special case of grouped convs) into preceding or following layers. Maybe JAX can do this already? No clue if any library offers such an optimization out of the box
The issue is free markets require more than just open competition, they need zero market coercions such as monopolies or misinformation, while also being free from governmental interference.

That’s clearly a direct contradiction. So basically nobody is actually promoting free markets, they all have their own spin to get past these contradictions.

Welcome, I assumed everyone knows about it here hence I didn't include much details about it[1].

Fairphone, Founded on the principles of ethical consumerism have consistently delivered on their promises which by itself is an extraordinary feat in the world of smartphones (or) consumer electronics in general.

Occasional but common criticisms on their devices from HN include specs not being competitive with flagships and build quality not up to expected levels(But newer devices have got good feedbacks on the build quality).

They are only available in EU + few other countries, If you don't live in their supported countries list then getting their phone might not be advisable as getting the parts easily for repair is their main USP(Besides telecom radio support).

So if you use phone as a utility and not as sustenance then Fairphone is a good choice if you can get it, Besides money goes to a socially-invested business.

Heroku Alternatives – Pros and Cons
Crypto will come back again.

The reason is because it's very closely related to gambling and triggers the same obsessive thinking as gambling does - based on my observations of how I felt and thought when I did some crypto investing - I found myself constantly checking prices and devoting huge amounts of thought to it - I even wrote a crypto trading bot to analyse strategies. If you know anyone into crypto you would know they talk about it non stop.

There are HUGE numbers of people who's brains are deeply involved with crypto. They'll be back for more.

Crypto had a big crash only recently - about 12 to 18 months ago I think, when Elon Musk made some comments that crashed the market. That crash was rapidly forgotten and people piled back in. Same thing will happen here.

Logic is not the driver of people's behavior.

Crypto is essentially legal, consensual large scale ponzi scheme participation - if you understand that then you might be able to win big.
Advice from others is mostly to serve them.

You've learned a bunch of things which feel very real to you. Makes sense to live in accordance with your hard earned lessons. (Which I think any reasonable person would assess and determine these are completely acceptable beliefs)

The same is true about your mentors and his beliefs. But he's him and you're you.

Personally: I'm an incredibly ambitious person but I've learned similar lessons as you and that ambitious energy has just found new paths to ground. Early 20s it was via work and social life (bars, parties etc), late 20s it was travel and hobbies, early 30s it's on psychological health and a partner to have kids with. I still work, but now only 6-8h/day. Then self care and dating.
If it’s no big deal why don’t they put “wood pulp” on the packaging? The fact it saves them money is too convenient by half and if they want to sell it they should be forced to disclose how they’re making it shake easier.

Flow batteries are pretty questionable. Moving parts suck. Zinc-bromine in particular was around for a long time as a flow technology but only started to move towards mass production when a non-flow version was developed.

But in particular, the iron-flow battery story going around recently stinks pretty badly. It's being heavily promoted almost entirely by one company, ESS, and their first real client is -- wait for it -- SoftBank [1]. The academic reports on iron-flow batteries [2] make the technology sound a lot less mature than the ESS website [3], which incorrectly refers to vanadium and lithium as "rare-earth metals".

A 2018 publication [4] from Narayan's group at USC boasts that:

>Thus, by operating at 60°C and a pH of 3 with ascorbic acid and ammonium chloride, we achieved a coulombic efficiency of 97.9%. While this value of coulombic efficiency is among the highest values reported for the iron electrode in the context of the all-iron flow battery, further improvement in efficiency is needed for supporting repeated cycling.

However, further work by Narayan's group led them to replace iron chloride by iron sulfate in 2020 [5] which was celebrated by USC in a press release [6].

It was shortly after this that ESS burst onto the scene claiming iron chloride batteries with extremely long cycle life using "carbon composite" electrodes, "porous polyethylene separator" and a "polypropene spacer" [3], which are suspiciously similar to the graphite electrodes, mesoporous hydrocarbon-polymer-not-disclosed (Tokuyama A901 [7]) anion-exchange membrane, and polypropylene housing used in the Narayan group's 2016 paper [8] proposing all-iron-flow batteries for grid storage. It's worth noting that chemically unmodified polyethylene is probably not a suitable material for an ion-selective membrane, but it wouldn't even be the second-worst mistake on the page.

Yet ESS, despite having supposedly solved major problems that are obviously of scientific interest to active researchers, does not appear to have any names on its website, and cites no publications. Frankly, it sounds like another EEStor.

Not directly related to your comment, it just triggered a random reflection on micro management...

Being micro managed as a manager is even worse than as an IC - there's a certain level of badgering you have to pass on so you can satisfy higher management, and there's a limit to how much of that you can filter. So you get micromanagement of yourself plus the extra shitty feeling of having to do it to others.

There's two words that stick out for me here. "Boring" and "Entrepreneurial"

Reg. Boring: It's all going to come down to how YOU define it. Folks on HN (and life in general) is filled with people who can get fascinated and infinitely obsessed with things that most other people would find boring, and make a lot of money doing it.

I have my own small business, and am currently building a second. I'm thoroughly enjoying the technical, product and people challenges that come with it, even though the products themselves would likely make some people eyes glaze over. I don't have a sexy funded startup, I don't post walls of inspirational text on LinkedIn or go on Podcasts. No one really knows who I am. I'd say overall I'm pretty boring, and it's bloody great.

So perhaps the takeaway there is "Make sure you don't find yourself or what you do boring".

Reg. Entrepreneurial: This is the main issue I have with what he said tbh. What does that mean, especially these days? If it means going out on your own and starting you own business, I'd never disparage anyone from giving it a go, but it's definitely not the "smart" thing to do. Statistically you're going to be happier and wealthier by just having a well paid 9-5 job.

Either way, you've got plenty of time to figure out what it all means for you. Enjoy the journey :)
This makes it sound like that $500 million is just the cost of reconstruction of one shrine.

> Every 20 years exact copies of Naiku, Geku, and 14 other shrines are built on empty sites next to the existing structures

> the rebuilding also includes creating exact copies of thousands of ceremonial treasures and artifacts

But the real value in this whole deal is that the entire reconstruction happens using traditional techniques, passing them on to the next generation.

$500 million feels like a steal for preserving your cultural heritage like that.
Doesn’t look edible to me.
I don't see the problem. The holding tanks would be concrete lined basins amounting to relatively small reservoirs. Not exactly unprecedented.

> Corporate profits are not necessarily the same thing as value. Showing ads 0.1% more effectively...

Of course not, but when a project idea I architect & develop results in a bunch of new team member hires that 1) I get to train and mentor and 2) are all putting food on the fucking dinner table for their families and getting to enjoy their lives through productive labor and 3) make the lives of our customers a little better I consider that a win.

Move on dude, I'm not even in advertising. Are you really going to keep making replies trying to argue that creating a new team from thin air by building a new product is a negative thing?

I was head of Engineering at exec level in different startups that grew past series B and started implementing OKRs... they never made sense to me fir the tech side. I could see sales, marketing and customer success OKRs that were aligned with their day to day tasks.

But for Engineering? I had all kind of nice reading OKRs: reduce mttr, mttf, reduce bugs, reduce feature implementation time, etc. But in reality the day-to-day work of Engineering was "build the shit that the product team defines", we had little influence in stories that went on each sprint, and invariably every time we pushed for some technical matter, business always trumped us and the stories went to the backlog.
Sperm counts have been dropping for a long time (50%-60% over the past 50 years) without stopping, and plasticizers are the suspected culprit. It's incredible how many people need to do IVF now. I would argue that might be the most imminent threat but nobody seems to care.
Yeah the same sentiment was shared in 2014, 2018 and now 2022. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes.

Crypto shills have always just sat in the background out of mind for a while before they come out with their next rebrand of the same scam. NFTs and Web3 have had their moment and likely collected a fortune, now they have to come up with the next branding. For some reason the general public doesn't learn.

The most amusing part is how the general public instinctively reacted to NFTs as thinking they were a scam, but they had so much news coverage and big numbers behind them that it became an Emperor has no clothes situation where it can't be a scam because too many people are agreeing with it. Only for it all to unravel and the public opinion returning to its just a scam.
> Logic is not the driver of people's behavior.

I think people are more rational than you give them credit, but, yes, emotion often informs and overrides our logic. Feelings, emotional intuition, biases, and prejudices color the lens of the eyes through which we see the world. Logic can be like prescription glasses or like Stevie Wonder glasses depending on how we check our priors.

> The reason is because it's very closely related to gambling and triggers the same obsessive thinking as gambling does - based on my observations of how I felt and thought when I did some crypto investing.

I noticed the same obsessive feeling and learned more about myself through that day trading. It was an expensive lesson however.

People believe if you truly care about reducing CO2 not using nuclear means you will not be able to move off of fossil fuels until we are well past too late.

It's the flaw that makes reducing global warming a talking point vs an actionable item. It's a big elephant in the room.

Until that gets resolved many will think some are spinning your wheels.

Except 12-18 months ago we weren't entering into a recession. So, although I am generally bullish on crypto, I am not so optimistic on things coming back to normal any time soon.

Remember the old adage folks - "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent".
Damn. I'm with you, this needs to be corrected.
I check when I notice my points have gone up, and I'm curious what it was. Sometimes that means it'll take a few days before I've even noticed.

As someone else pointed out, it's by design. Twitter and YouTube sometimes get bogged down by inevitable debates. It's avoided here.
BTC is down 53% from ATH. NFLX is down almost 75%. PTON is down over 91%. You'd actually be better off investing in BTC than in many tech darlings. I don't own any crypto, but I don't think it's fair to single out crypto in the middle of a broad tech downturn.
If you really believe it doesn't have "any value at all" then I invite you to sell it short. That's a free $30,000. The nice thing about markets is that you can express your opinion, and that market opinions without corresponding positions can be ignored.

The best crypto grift was the neobank startups that were front ends for investing in anchor, a 20%APY crypto ponzi. Anchor crashed with Luna and all those startups kept their money in failed stable coins and have folded and failed to make payroll. They lost all of their money and all of their customers money. Woof

Life is like a river. You can build a boat out of driftwood, or just doggy-paddle around; fight the current or dive straight ahead. Ultimately you're going to end up where the river wants to take you, and there's no way to know where that is. The only thing you can control is what you do in the river, and whether you take the ride as a terrifying, inescapable path to the unknown, or a fun float on a sunny day. Your life is only the time spent in the river, so you don't have to worry about the destination. Everybody has their own way of passing the time. The only good advice I can give you, is to pass it in the way that you want to. Anything else is a waste of a good river.

....and if you can't figure out what to do in the river, that's fine too. Doesn't make a difference to the river!
this is true.

I was also flooded with some really obvious bullshit... this crash is going to sweep the table clean. There is a chance it might come back cleaner and stronger than before.
More mainstream maybe, with some regulation.
I, unfortunately, agree with this. Different generations of digital assets will continuously be used to grift certain demographics, with the potential for even larger bubbles and busts in the future.
