> I promise to myself I will revisit these bookmarks

You won’t. I recognise my previous usage in your words.

Here’s my current usage. Pinboard bookmarks have two states: read or unread.

My read ones all have at least one tag, and usually no more than that. I have about 20 tags and under 200 bookmarks. Once a year or so I do a general cleanup. If I can’t realistically picture a scenario in the next two years where I’ll need a bookmark and remember it exists, I delete it. Be honest. The goal is to keep them to a minimum.

My unread bookmarks I check through the Pinboard-provided RSS feed. That consolidates my “inbox of content” to the same app, making it so I only have one number to manage. Keep that number low. Ruthlessly. Once it gets larger than what you can manage, mark stuff as read until what remains is a handful of the most interesting. Are you facing that scenario a lot? Time to cut some subscriptions. Start with the ones you often mark as read. Are you having trouble deciding what to keep or let go? Lower your RSS reeder’s maximum number of items and old stuff will go just go away! You won’t miss it. If you do, odds are you’ll remember enough to find it again.

The result for me is a selection of content I want but never get overwhelmed by.

Remember you’re running the conveyor belt on yourself. Your bookmarks are piling up because you are making the pile bigger! Stop adding to the pile! Delete all those interesting bookmarks you can leverage but haven’t. You won’t. They have gone over their expiration date of excitement. Next time you feel like adding anything, pause for longer before you do. Is that bookmark really worth adding, or is it the FOMO[1] talking?

I don’t know. My schools first period was 7:50, but that meant we’d normally have to wake up around 5:45 in order to get ready for the bus, which came by our house around 6:45.

A two hour period from waking to being in first period seemed pretty normal, and even if you subtract that from a “more generous” 9am, you still get 7am, which is pretty brutal on adolescents which are known to have shifted sleep schedules.

You're less likely to get it, and it's much less likely to be serious if you do.
I don't know about California but I know in the state I grew up in, there was a legal requirement for the school to send a bus to pick you up if you lived in the school district and were further than walking distance from the school. Several times our bus ended up with a new home added to the route midyear, which required some tricky maneuvering on dirt roads and created a longer ride for anyone whose stop came after those new spots.

It certainly was given the default sleep schedule I had as a teen.

This wasn't something I could intentionally choose to do as a teenager without the use of drugs like melatonin.

Hardly surprising. The writing was on the wall for Atom as soon as Microsoft acquired Github.

It's a pity. Atom has some notable features that, to my mind, are improvements compared to vscode. Using Tree Sitter [0] instead of inscrutable TextMate regexes [1] for grammar specification is a case in point.

It's more complicated than one neurotransmitter == 1 float. For instance you can have more than one receptor type for each neurotransmitter. And each one might be sensitive to different concentrations of that neurotransmitter, and have different signaling modalities.

And the behavior of those receptors might also be modulated by other signaling mechanisms inside the cell: i.e. neurotransmitter A might modulate the signaling of neurotransmitter B.

In other words, there is a lot of complex information processing going on there.
For high school, the youngest of which are 14, probably closer to 15? That really doesn't seem like a requirement.

Crazy! Circa 2005-2008 I had a Latitude that was nigh indestructible. Somewhat infamously I hadn’t zipped my bag all the way on campus and it fell out onto the sidewalk. Aside from a few cosmetic scratches it worked perfectly fine. Logged probably 1000 hours easily on World of Warcraft on that thing - there was even somewhat disgustingly a section where the left palm of my hand had worn off all of the paint due to sitting there for so many hours.
Nope. I've even had them pay my membership costs for ACM and IEEE and various SIGs or Societies within them. Why wouldn't they want you to participate, even passively, in these organizations?
> Do people train those AIs on mathematical reasoning?

They do. The GPT family is basically a very fancy autocomplete, so it’s mainly noteworthy because of how far something that limited can go, as it’s not even trying to be a fully general NLP system.

If you want to solve maths problems, there are many better choices; I often use WolframAlpha, which is great for the maths part of my problems, but fairly often needs me to try several variants of my query because of the limitations of its natural language processing.

Typically, reverse ETL starts with "all of my data is already in an EDW" and goes to "I want to push it to my various app systems."

I can’t help feeling that a large number of those submissions are really missing the point of economising on the canvas. Almost all of them seem to have large swathes of empty space around the icon rather than enlarging the logo to use the entire canvas space. This leads to icons that are completely unrecognisable at the smaller scales. Plus the smaller icons are almost all just clones of their larger counterparts (as if they just resized the image in photoshop — though obviously that’s not what they literally did) rather than simplifying the detail.

That all said, there are still some genuinely impressive efforts there.

Yeah me thing that definitely stood out was how a lot of the more iconic logos are already pretty simple (often even monochromatic). Though I do also believe there was a fair amount of selection bias going on too (people picking easy icons to redesign).

A lot of people in or around tech are furries, are into things like japanese animation, or are into My Little Pony. I don't consider myself one, but people often jokingly say that furries run the Internet.

And it's not really specific to HN. For instance you have well-known people in the community who do vaccine R&D, or cryptography, or contribute to the C/C++ standards at ISO, or several other STEM things that are pretty outspoken about their interests.

This is made more obvious on Twitter, where people tend to blur their personal and work identities a lot.

What makes you think an ANN has very much in common with neurons at all? The model of activation as a weight times a simple activation function is laughably simple compared to what's actually going on in the brain.

I've heard of this research. I wouldn't at all doubt it. I think 8:30 is perfectly reasonable... I just don't think it will have the effects people think it will. Maybe a marginal improvement which is fine to shoot for... but I just see too many kids choosing an extra hour of games/phone vs sleep.
That argument really falls flat when you realize that this guy is the co-founder and CEO, i.e. he was already there and in charge when these people decided to join him.

If you don't like a company's leadership, obviously don't go work there. If you do, then decide you don't like them, obviously you quit. A 5-year old could understand that. Though it's beyond the anarchist collective on HN, apparently.
For grades 3 - 5, forced busing 90 minutes each way in California to the bad part of town because of skin color required waking up at 4:55 am every morning. Didn't get home until late evening. If I was any other ethnicity, I wouldn't have been required to be subjected to a worse and more dangerous school.

Middle school (grades 6-8) were waking up at 6:30 am to be there by 7:30.

And then high school (grades 9-12) was waking-up at 7 am to arrive by 8. 20 minute bike ride each way.

Kicker: I had undiagnosed sleep apnea, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
They do this already. They're called helicopters.
But that just begs the question, why sprint? Two weeks seems arbitrary, and meetings on that cadence are pretty noisy. Trying to deliver in that frame can either lead to dead time if things go faster than expected or can lead to artificial failures if you miss it. Why set yourself up to fail that particular way? I don’t think it’s especially useful for organization or accountability and adds a lot of noise and waste.
The damage goes way beyond delaying them one time, it also makes it way harder to use COTS hardware in the future. It's going to be a lot harder to get work done when you can't just buy a computer off Amazon.
Yeah, looking back I could have done a bit more than simple substitution. Since the sentences don't gave meaning, interpreting between 1 as i vs l is especially difficult.

"Memorable" was definitely tongue in cheek, as was the spec bending.
Except that Google isn't doing the parsing, it's a third-party, who is then providing the data to Google (and a bunch of others). Sadly, mixed in with the parsed/PDF-scanned data is accurate data that was hand-edited or auto-uploaded from a restaurant POS or kitchen management system.

So, Google and these other companies, the option is - build it yourself and try to do better, or buy data from the companies that do this at varying degrees of quality, or don't have menu data at all. Except the last option, people _want_ menu data, it's one of the most common things people want to know about a restaurant.
This probably works for most people. But I've used 2-diopter weak glasses for the last 40 years, whenever I'm indoors. I think it helped slow the worsening of progression of my nearsightedness, but didn't stop it and certainly didn't reverse it.

Honestly don't know if this is a joke or not. The inclusion of that letter to the editor about AI's self-consciousness is almost too ironically good/terrifying/funny. Kind of a perfect response, to the point where it seems like a human wrote it as a joke, except that GPT-3 is really quite good at generating this stuff too now so I'm not sure.
This is also an easy way to get your local postman to hate you. Last I recall, the catalog was almost equivalent to two phonebooks in size.
Yeah, sorry. That doesn’t work in a huge percentage of areas in the US. Heat, cold, darkness, lack of infrastructure, and distance.

When the high is 110 F in a Phoenix suburb, you can’t ask the 14 year olds to skateboard 20 miles to school on a country road with no breakdown lane. Similarly, you can’t ask kids from Maine to skateboard to school in the dark on ice.

Whenever this topic gets brought up, a bunch of seemingly childless city dwellers think they’re making some massive revelation suggesting that kids just get their own butts to school at a comfortable 10:30 am.

It’s actually pretty simple: Both parents work. Somebody has to drive the kids to school (hard requirement — there’s no bus and a bike/skateboard is too perilous). Work starts at 9 am. School has to start earlier than that.
For commercial jetliners? Yes, but they have a very high passenger:pilot ratio already.

Also, the order is tens of thousands (for a typical transatlantic flight).

Across transportation modalities, fuel costs are usually a minor contributor to total cost. For a commercial airline flight, about 10% of ticket price.

Love this analogy! I've had trouble thinking of things that were "the next big thing" and then fizzled out entirely. This is an excellent example of one!
I really don't understand the pressure to start schools so early, it seems contrary to the goals of both children and parents.

A parent needs their kids to be supervised until they come home from work. Kids need to get sleep. Schools are presently time shifted between 2and 3 hours early relative to parental schedules.

My only question is why? School could start 3 hours later and kids would get out roughly at the time their parents are coming home from work.
I didn't have time to sleep.

I was in AP Classes, plus working 35 hours a week.

In hindsight, I would have filed for emancipation and started freelancing immediately.

High school is a waste of time.

Since there is a lot, can you point us lazy people to a few legitimate references for these claims? I can't find any.
How is it impossible currently?

I had stretches where I would sleep/wake at a full 8 hrs and in time for school. I would be lying if it wasn't ~90% personal accountability of winding down when I needed to. Other 10% was if I were sick or had some insomnia which at that point wouldn't matter what I did or when school started. Even struggle with it now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_... explains in detail - between 2010 and ~2015 there was a massive overlap between millennial geek culture and unironic fandom of the rebooted My Little Pony show, especially among millennial men. One dedicated fan hub averaged almost 400k page views per day over its first 3.5 years of existence. And throughout it all, programming projects abounded, such as the delightful FiM++ esoteric language (https://esolangs.org/wiki/FiM%2B%2B) styled after the show's framing device. For many in tech now, it was an inescapable part of internet culture of the early 2010s, and a fond memory for many.
Thanks for reading. It’s not even that subtle a distinction. If marriage gets less normal, those who do get married feel stronger about it. It’s value theory 101.

Whenever I go back to the Midwest to visit family, I always feel very wealthy given just how much cheaper everything is. Leave the coffee shop literally spending half as much and it’s like “holy cow this is great!”

Obviously, a person living in the area is usually making less so it’s all relative.

I can agree with this. I did always find it a bit jarring that I had to wake up before the sun was even out, lol. Thinking about it now you raise a good point. Haven't woken up that early in years. I find it 100x easier to wake up when I have the blinds open to hit me in the morning.
When your physiology wants you to wake up varies by age and by individual. It isn’t just a matter of sleep hygiene.

There are many parameters you can tweak, for sure. Overflowing an area probably triggers an immediate GC run, and if that doesn’t free up enough space, an additional “young” region is used. You only need to specify a high enough maximum value for the total memory consumption of all generations.

One situation you can run into is if you generate and quickly drop objects faster than the GC can collect them, or rather, the process spends most of its time with GC rather than with actual program execution, then after a certain while an exception will be raised. That situation almost always indicates a bug in your program, and the exception helps to see the cause of the program stalling. Of course that behavior is also configurable.

Please don't idealize the mythical village. Too many people do, because they are distant enough (in time and space) that they view premodern life as some sort of Golden Age paradise.

My grandmother (1926-2016) grew up in a remote eastern Slovak village well before it acquired electricity and other perks of modern life. You cannot get much more traditional than that.

Wealth and poverty still played a role, it does everywhere. The village wasn't "relentlessly measured", but it was relentlessly judgmental and hierarchical. You couldn't do shit if the most powerful people mistreated you. And you carried an unshakeable burden of your ancestry with you. If your mother was considered a "witch" (seriously) or a "slut", your place on the village pecking order was somewhere down below.

Plenty of people escaped traditional villages to get rid of this burden. Urban anonymity has some positives. Capitalism can be cruel, but at least it is not utterly rigid. Often, you can make money somehow - perhaps not millions, but enough not to be a pauper. But in a traditional, closed village, you could never shake off the stigma of a "slut's daughter" etc. If you didn't want be disdained forever, you had to move out, end of story.
That's all very well, as long as there's no common modes of failure. Redundancy can be a means to achieve reliability, but not always. Imagine the cause of failure is a bug which kicks in at a specific time of day, or an integer overflow which happens after a certain amount of uptime, or all the motor drivers are susceptible to a specific RF frequency. It doesn't matter how many motors you have if they're all susceptible to the same failure mode.

Using purely random ids in your database destroys locality. They mention this in the introduction:

> Non-time-ordered UUID versions such as UUIDv4 have poor database index locality. Meaning new values created in succession are not close to each other in the index and thus require inserts to be performed at random locations. The negative performance effects of which on common structures used for this (B-tree and its variants) can be dramatic.

The V7 ids work similarly to what you like, as they're just a unix timestamp and 74 bits of pseudorandom data (they present several different schemes you could use to generate this randomness, but the basic birthday bound says we'd need to be above 100 billion id's generated in a single millisecond to worry about collisons. Obviously most systems are nowhere near that territory.

So using these id's gives you the practical advantages of random uinique ids, but with the performance of autoincrement ids.
An example is when all hours spent need to be traced back to a requirement that has been signed off on by stakeholders. There needs to be a recordkeeping system to support this requirements traceability, so Jira it is.
