Other cultures just don't seem to be as relentlessly status-hungry. Like, I've met homeless people in Colombia with better self-esteem than well-off Americans. Like our visible affluence is eating us alive. Old women in a bunch of Asian countries gather together in public places for some activity or other, often something physically active like ping pong or dancing. America for the most part seems to have lost the concept of public space, every space is private and to be monetized unless explicitly deemed otherwise.

This dynamic: "just about any difference between what someone's life is like and what they want it to be seems to manifest in their psyche as loneliness," just doesn't seem to be how people from other cultures process that difference. They don't externalize that difference in a way that makes themselves out to be the victim and deserving of better. They seem at least a little more willing to own up to their own role in it.
Use rugged AI like coolwulf. That's what's up. He hauled ass, be like coolwulf.

No don't be like coolwulf, be coolwulf. Be him, do what he did, make the algorithms from your brain protect the algorithms that make up your brain. You know they're symbiotic right?

Transistor and neuron fighting together against destruction. Symbiosis.

EDIT: coolwulf might as well be John von Neumann, the last line of defense against brain cancer and brain surgery, those neurons reaching beyond the skull to make a change in the World for some part of that World to then reach inside that skull and protect it. The chip as the final garrison of the biological human brain. Ghost in the Shell. Ghost retreating from the Shell and regrouping, no ruling out whether it can triumph when it returns to reconquer its damaged Shell.

Treasuries pay negative real yields, so I'm not sure there's any opportunity there. More of a guaranteed loss.
You're missing that it is dating the material you ise to refill, not the refill action itself. You can refill with topsoil, which woild indicate EOL as you say. or you could refill with dirt from a pit, which could be thousands of years older. You could use dirt with dinosaur fossils in it, but that doesn't make the site 65 million years old.

Anyway according to other comments apparently they used a few means of dating already.
Young me would have been surprised to learn that in the 2020s, computers were designed for non-programmers except for a few specialized ones.
> One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it.

There are more companies noticing this now and have stopped asking these questions. For example, we at Neuralink[1] only give out practical programming challenges. If are you good at building practical systems, you should be able to ace our coding interviews without any preparation. No leetcode and no whiteboarding. In fact, I prefer to hire those who doesn't waste time practicing leetcode.

Over the past couple years, I have interviewed at a handful of other startups who also have similar coding interview philosophies.

Constraint propagation and search are hardly new techniques. In fact they're both from or from before the previous "AI winter." It's a shame they've been left out of so many of the deep learning generation's wheelhouses. They were considered fundamentals by the field a very short time ago.

Also, I'm not knocking this paper at all. I think it's a great applied paper! Stitching together techniques to actually do something is a Herculean task. Hell, it's mostly what I do too.
You are describing transactional relationships, but there are other types of more self perpetuating relationships. Transactional relationships are built on the expectation for reciprocation, so every interaction is performed with the expected outcome in mind. Within a transactional relationship, bonds are broken the moment one of you doesn't hold up your end. For this reason, these relationships tend to be fragile and do not last.

In contrast, bonds between two parties can be much stronger in relational relationships. These non-transactional relationships are meant to be long-term and often exists between parents and children, or between long term romantic partners. In a relational relationship, both parties are willing to make sacrifices for the sake of their bond. They are both concerned with the perspective, needs, and desires of the other party. To a certain extent, individuals are willing to give without expecting anything in return. This helps to build strong bonds that are difficult to break.

I would suggest trying to seek out and develop more relational relationships as they can be extremely rewarding without taking the toll you describe.

> To split hairs, your comment is not true for all containerships, just for ships that are not U.S.-owned.

The Jones Act requires ships transporting goods between two US ports to be US-owned, and US-built, and US-crewed -- which, I'm pretty certain, excludes all container ships. Certainly all of the big ones.
I wouldn’t want to be on call for Homebrew. In the author’s words “It doesn’t do dependency management properly. It doesn’t handle edge case behavior well. It isn’t well tested.”

I was expecting some wisdom, at least some insight or sympathy from the article, supposed to be written by 80 year old.

All I now feel is pity for her; early in her essay she snobs on "people feeling lonely around loving families" - comparing them to orphans that know true loneliness (and by the tone, she too). Then just a paragraph or two later she reveals she had a family; husband, kids and grandchildren. A couple of paragraphs later she also reveals she have "friends closeby she can visit weekly".

I feel pity because she seems to be so self absorbed (diva) in her loneliness; her suffering is special, gives her insight, don't you dare to understand it. her description of her behavior eery reminds me of my friend who self claim "the most introvert person" and love for solitude while it's clear that she longs for human contact behind the mask of "comfortable with solitude"; if you dare question her introvert identity you can except fierce resistance, almost like if you attacked some radicals political/religious belief.

And after painfully getting to the end of it, she rabble about statistic she obviously haven't read carefully enough (her take on the increase in suicide in Japan due Covid is embarrassingly off and irrelevant to the point she was trying to make)

And to no ones surprise, the solution is again "authority should do *something*".

Frankly, from the picture she have painted of the lonely man that pride himself of his solitude (and suffering), her vague call for the authority to do something seems shallow and hollow
https://www.roadtoreact.com/ used to adjust its pricing based on geo IP location. I think it used some SaaS to offer this pricing (based on GDP?) I browsed through the web archives around the time I found it, but couldn't find the dynamic pricing...

Since then, Robin switched to simple tiered pricing based on pure product levels. (Plus maybe Patreon?)

I think this might be the better approach:

1. Offer your base product for a low price everyone in the world can afford (even free).

2. Then offer people who can/wish to pay more the option to pay more, possibly with incentives/upgrades.

You can balance any incentives as you see fit.

Another option is to offer your product at a high price, then occasionally offer discounts so people who can't afford the high price also get a chance to buy at a price point they can afford.

I see two major issues with setting prices based on a country's wealth:

1. It can be "gamed." I used a VPN to check the prices of Road to React in other countries.

2. There are rich people in poor countries, and poor people in rich countries. So you risk excluding poor people in Luxembourg (like students, for example).

Fair, although I would definitely bucket IPFS in the blockchain category in that it is targeting that community of developers.

Also, IPFS isn’t a solution for storing data permanently. Arweave is and I think people would be very excited about that. At least I would if that’s any data point.

No magic beans necessary to get me excited. Just cool tech. I can’t be the minority but maybe.
> [...] you don’t know who is a monetizable daily active user [...]

That is some real BS gerrymandering on the part of Twitter.

Accounts that are not "monetizable daily active users" who spam and harass users on the service don't count?

Of course they count.

Just generate random numbers from 1 to 2^64 and use the "/users/show" API by user_id until you've got 100 successful hits that match a valid user, then once you have 100, score the users.

Do you get fewer than 5 out of 100 spam bots? That should be the test.

But that's still not relevant, because pedestrians inherently have the right of way at intersections under California law.
I think the basic disconnect you're running into here is that for many people the government-backed educational loan establishment is not "someone" worthy of any moral consideration, but rather just a poorly-constructed piece of political machinery that only exists because of the failings of the government in regards to public education.
When I'm outside, I notice I unfortunately always ends up thinking about race and ethnic issues. How people might be perceiving or judging me, how women might be put off by my bad hair or skin color, how men might be perceiving me as an outsider or poor. These thoughts are very tiresome, and I notice I keep coming back to them unless I listen to music or make an effort to think positive thoughts. It feels very important to me to resolve these thoughts, that's why I keep diving deeper into them, until I end up spiraling into the same negative thoughts - I shouldn't have immigrated, my kids are going to have shitty lives due to my skin color and emotional anxiety, I will never make good friends, and I will never be loved unconditionally. I have put my life in a cage and will spend the remaining 50 years of life just grinding with only brief moments of materialistic pleasure.
People say these things for almost all sequels, is it that bad really?

The sequel of 2021 Space Odyssey for example, is nowhere near as good as the original but it gives a closure so I like it.

The Matrix 4, definitely not in the same league as the first ones but it’s still good to have IMHO. It’s a nice wrap up.

Is the sequel of this movie really bad? Like ruining the first one bad?

This makes me wonder, couldn't python have a peephole optimization that replaces certain easy labmdas like this with operator functions? Maybe it's too noticeable to work as a transparent optimization (function kind and name etc changes).
Yep, that all makes sense.

FWIW, I agree we can do better than leetcode.

I'm personally a fan of an approach I saw someone else describe here, where you literally have the candidate do a few-hours freelance gig for you, paid at a decent rate. Triage some of the low-priority bugs so when you're interviewing you have a little stack of relatively self-contained, well-defined tasks for candidates to pick from. Probably good to have someone pair with them, if the candidate is willing.

You get to see them work in a real context, they get paid, you can learn about how they work, and it seems like a win-win to me.

I also think it's good to be open to other options - if a candidate has a different way to show they'll be good at the job, let them do that. If burntsushi wanted to work on a company's CLI tools, I'd hope a link to the rg repo would satisfy everyone that he knows how to write a good CLI.
There is an essential difference, between the level of truth of the different publications. The liars try to insist that there is no difference, which would be convenient to them, but clearly the truth of information is an essential value.

Too many alarms leads to alarm fatigue. Ultimately the recipient of a message determines its priority not the sender.

The majority of Amber Alerts are over parental child abduction and custody disputes. The authorities used to reserve it for when the child is in danger but now use it loosely. And over way too broad of a geographic area. And with no consideration to disrupting the sleep of millions of people. The alarm is more appropriate for something that's an immediate risk to life and limb of the message recipient - like a tornado warning or flash flood. Does it really need to shriek? And be an immediate alert? A notification upon the next phone pickup would be less objectionable.
"...anyone could use anyone else's name or likeness to sell anything."

So what, why does it matter as long as the person is dead and there's no deception or pretense that they are directly associated with or are related to the said famous person?

Essentially, the situation exists now, every newborn John Brown has appropriated the name of someone who's already died (and as we know at least one person with that name is already famous).

BTW, Einstein isn't that an uncommon name, I've even met a person with that name who wasn't related to the physicist.

Increased taxes on on higher income/wealth people. The goal would also be to reduce income/wealth gap.
Same for me.

I find the YouTube algorithm pretty useless. I have lots of subscriptions, but it only links narrowly to channels I’ve recently watched. It also keeps stupidly linking to particular vids I’ve already watched.
I do not think that is possible, assuming society wants ro provide greater assistance to those with certain disadvantages, such as disabilities.
I skipped over Plex and just used Jellyfin and I haven't had any issues in the 13 or so months I've been running it.
The point is that Twitter charges their advertisers, their source of revenue, according to ad impressions served to "monetizable" users. They don't necessarily know at the time of serving the ad whether they're monetizable -- they might figure it out later. But advertisers are trusting them to not charge them for bots (or no more than 5% bots).

It could well be that 50% of accounts are bots, but as long as Twitter doesn't charge advertisers for them, they've been honest. But if their mDAU counts have been way off, advertisers will demand their money back.
I've seen this in my own extended family.

$OldFamilyMember died and left some money to $DisabledFamilyMember who would lose benefits if he took it. $DisabledFamilyMember and $OtherHeirs agreed the money would instead go to $UpperMiddleClassFamilyMember who is most responsible and least in need of money.

This would be a short path to an infuriating outcome in many families, but in this case, fortunately, the adults involved all acted like adults instead of children.

Although legally it was now $UMCFM's money, $UMCFM kept the money in a separate account and would send checks whenever $DisabledFamilyMember reported they were struggling with unexpected expenses (e.g. replacing a dead refrigerator).

Years later, the account ran out of money, but AFAIK $UMCFM never informed $DisabledFamilyMember of this fact, and $UMCFM continues to support $DFM's unexpected expenses to this day from $UMCFM's own pocket.

Some details changed to protect the privacy of all involved, and other details may not be accurate as I got some of this second- or third-hand, I was still rather young when this situation started, and it's been many years since I've heard anything about this.

I can only imagine how infuriating and demoralizing it would be if $UMCFM wasn't there to help out, $DisabledFamilyMember was on their own, and either (a) took the money and lost their benefits, or (b) didn't take the money and then had serious consequences due to lack of money (i.e. having to live without a refrigerator when it broke).

There should be some judicial principle or constitutional amendment that says a law can be thrown out if (1) it doesn't make logical sense, and/or (2) it actively defeats its stated objectives.

Anyone want to try to write a compiler that can check a legal code for consistency and automatically resolve conflicts by removing laws in a defined order until it's -- I don't quite know if this is the right terminology -- logically satisfiable by a non-empty set of models?
SSI != SSDI

SSI: Supplemental Security Income

SSDI: Social Security Disability Insurance

SSI is a government subsidy, or payout, for those living in poverty. There are income and asset caps that define the poverty level.

SSDI is a "single payer" insurance program. Everyone who earns income is required to pay premiums into this program. When someone becomes permanently disabled, no longer able to earn income, they receive payouts from this insurance program.

These programs are not the same thing. And the requirements for each are not the same.

The cruel reality of healthcare expenses blurs these two things together, for the expense of suffering a medical catastrophe, and ongoing medical support, will indeed drive almost anyone into poverty.

And yes: if you become disabled, it will take you almost two years to qualify for SSDI. That's not a strict requirement of the program, but it's a consequence of how the program works. Most families, unable to earn income for that long, won't have much in the way of cash by the time their SSDI review has come through.

But it's possible to become permanently disabled while having more than $2000.

The healthcare industry has plenty of money to fund those things itself.
There also seems to be a high concentration of Svelte jobs in Crypto.

Perhaps there is no correlation; it's just because there are relatively more job openings in Crypto. I think even major companies are chasing fads like NFT's.

On a related note, some maps can make it seem like X is concentrated to certain areas, but they just end up being maps of the overall population density.
How do you scroll then? Page Up and Page Down?
Yes, I meant that at least most of the overhead is removed, and society can focus other resources on those who can use additional help.

Exactly. The standard heuristic is to put the paint down AFTER increasing safety through OTHER measures.

Crosswalks are literally used as a signal to pedestrians that this is a recommended crossing point that probably meets standards (that make it very likely a driver would be entirely at fault if they hit you crossing there but also very possible for them to avoid hitting you if they are following the law).

>If rich you get all your bail money back.

That is not true. In most places you are NOT ALLOWED to post cash bail, you have to get a bond because it has the effect of outsourcing police-work. No, I'm not joking.
Side note: I had a thought about dreams recently, how vividly you can see things even when your eyes are closed. I wonder if that is what they'll use for artificial eyes.

The evidence is not sparse, it comes from a diverse set of sources from observation of existing hunter-gatheter communities across different continents as well as archaeological evidence. It's true that violence is much lower in absolute numbers. But by virtue of drastically lower overall populations, the proportional rate is much higher. 5 people killed our of a kin-group of 100 people is like 15 million people killed in the USA.

There is an appeal to the thought that humans in a natural state are peaceful. Because if modern society has made mankind violent, then we can hopefully roll back it's influence and restore us to that peaceful state. But that's not what our evidence suggests.

This article examines existing hunter gatherers: https://www.economist.com/christmas-specials/2007/12/19/nobl...

Indeed. "Well, I would never have been so stupid as to get arrested!" is the attitude. It's a hueristic based on false assumptions about the system set mainly by the media, which is entirely, supremely false. It would be amazing for a story, any story, to take place in a realistic justice system where the meat grinder is on glorious display. (Public defenders would be good people to interview on this; maybe some ex-LEOs disenchanted with the system)
