This made me think of science and academia. One of the things that seems to distinguish productive people in science is the balance between “doer” mentality and “thinker” mentality.

Too much “thinker” mentality and the project never goes anywhere. Too much “doer” mentally and the project moves but may go down an unproductive path.

Perhaps an analogy is that “thinker” and “doer” mentalities work together like a stochastic gradient descent algorithm.

The “thinker” mode tries to calculate accurate gradients, but never moves towards the goal.

The “doer” mode takes a step towards the next iteration, regardless of whether you have an accurate gradient already.

Balancing the two correctly can give beautiful momentum dynamics that steers towards your goal.

Honest question -- what do you think is going on inside of babies and children? Self-awareness as a developmental process is complex and relational, and takes many years. Our senses though are more or less put together by puberty, built up by simple interactions with the world.

That proves that the administration knows it has an optics issue, not that inflation isn’t transitory. Inflation is currently the number one issue on most voters minds.

I don’t doubt that inflation exists. I doubt that a substantial portion of it is related to issues that won’t resolve themselves as the economy renormalizes post-COVID and buying habits return to something like pre-COVID.

The benefits of a LVT go beyond inner city housing issues though. Of the top ten states with the highest poverty rates in the US - nine are red.

I should add that some types of optimizations (cache efficiency being a big one) are outside the scope of the compiler because it is implicitly part of the code specification that the compiler needs to faithfully reproduce e.g. data structure layout is required to be a certain way for interoperability reasons.
The security model used in Firefox OS to gate access to these APIs was very different. We never exposed these web bluetooth to the web at large, only to signed apps.

Mozilla needs to step up and find ways to expose such APIs though, because they are useful. Just saying "no" without proposing a solution is a sure way to lose. There's a bit of hope recently with the implementation of WebMIDI in Gecko.

I think it really depends what you’re using it for. I look at multiple log windows all day and do some platform development when there’s time, and having a screen that fits 3 useable panels of logs across it has been the single biggest improvement to my professional work since switching to a MacBook a decade ago. I went for the Philips 50” with an inbuilt KVM switch, and it has worked flawlessly.

I would wish for a higher refresh rate but they released one with that about a year after I got mine, so if you’re in the market, get that one.
Hard no. Amazon EFA can barely come close to a dated HPC interconnect from the lower part of the top500 (when it comes to running code that does use the network, e.g. molecular dynamics or CFD), Azure does offer Cray XC or CS (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/solutions/high-performance...) which can/will be set up as proper HPC machines with fast interconnects, but I doubt these can be readily rented in the 100s of PFlops size.

Check these talks from the recent ISC EXACOMM workshop if you want to see why HPC machines and HPC computing are an entirely different league compared to traditional data center computing:

The AG's legal team in Illinois can issue binding or non-binding rulings. So, even though they gave a detailed legal breakdown of their ruling and why it applied, and (bless them) having read through the entire 800 page manual, they still only issued a non-binding ruling which the Sheriff's office just laughed at.

For some reason they only issue binding rulings in a tiny fraction of very contentious cases. It sucks. It doesn't make any sense to me. It can take two years to get a non-binding ruling on a case just for the public body to ignore it.

Could we stop posting clickbait garbage like Vice? The CEOs of "Sezzle" and "Safegraph" said something on a podcast, and the headline loudly proclaims that "Tech CEOs" desire this.

Two CEOs, one of whom has 500 employees and one who has 100,said something on a podcast, and through the magic of strategically leaving off qualifiers for plural nouns, it's been transmuted into a newsworthy report with a headline that implies something broader than two relative nobodies throwing an idea out.

I get that there are too many wannabe journalists and not enough news, so in some sense I don't blame the author; he's grinding out a living in a morally-questionable field like many, many people do. But why do we have to infect HN with this nonsense?

Not every dispute in our society involves the justice system. Far from it. Especially inside private companies.

But when it comes to police, the problem is even worse. The justice system there is charged with enforcing itself, and the conflict of interest is apparent.

Dealing with police brutality is no different than dealing with bullying or harassment at work - it usually involves some form of "internal affairs" or "human resources", whose primary job is to minimize damage to the company, not bring justice to the aggrieved party.

Even spending $50 in one direction on gas isn't insane for a weekend camping trip, a couple hours of highway driving at current prices, but I don't think anyone would consider that "not far from home" as OP stated.

> For what it's worth, this is not allowed in many parks.

Sure, but you don't need to camp in parks. That helps save on the $60/night fee as well.

> You'll probably buy some special meat to grill, marshmallows to roast, some trail mix and maybe stop for food on the way out or back.

According to OP it is just a "basic sausage", not even a special meat. I end up spending about $15/day on food and I just pack what I want with no thought to cost.

I guess my point is...none of what OP described is completely unreasonable for a random person's camping trip. But it is completely unreasonable when using this camping trip as an example as to how a person making minimum wage can't even go camping without saving up for weeks.

To me, this post reminds me exactly of things you see on reddit's antiwork sub, where people say something like "You can't live on minimum wage", and to prove it provide a breakdown of how much it would cost to rent a 2BR apartment downtown, $500/month clothing allowance, $400/mo car lease, things like that. Stuff that I don't even do for myself despite making closer to 7 figures than 5. I've never camped at a AA fee schedule spot, never spent $25/day on food(while camping), never drank $25 of beer per day(while camping), never bought cigarettes, etc...

The two concepts cover different behaviors.

If your partner says "I like and trust this person and I'd like to sleep with them" and you say "absolutely not", I'd call that jealousy.

We have used house call vets for many years, and they are wonderful in terms of experience for the animals. However, in my experience they are universally far more expensive than clinics (which we still go to sometimes if it's semi-urgent and our mobile vet is not available).
If these companies wanted to learn from you -- they would have availed themselves of that opportunity while you were still working there.

As the blogger himself put it:

If you have suggestions on how things should work differently at the company, the time to tell your boss is while you work there. If they can’t bring themselves to act on it during your tenure, telling them at the exit interview isn’t going to do any good.

20 people is very low, presumably becuase the goal of the study was sleep effects, and they were using sleep labs, so I'd say that budget was a big issue here.

I'm actually a developer for pretty much the last 40 years :) I ended up in a county jail due to some mental health issues, and my coding slowed down in there so I needed a new hobby. I put all my energy 24/7 into trying to get the detainees all the rights they were entitled to. A lot of that was trying to get information to prove the terrible things that the Sheriff's office was doing.

Public bodies definitely need to be careful about what they write in emails. It's funny to read about how yourself in their internal emails and what they are planning for you.
It might make sense to split it into "professional services" v "business". Legally it's hard to tell them apart, but people tend to know the difference.

It makes sense for some businesses to actually be an "asset" - eg Coca Cola company. It is a reasonable argument that it doesn't make sense for a vet practice to be an "asset". Nor a law firm.
Once again, you're reading way too much Sputnik - those fantasies about "20%" choice is a direct quote from Russian propaganda. The reality is, Russia has invested everything they had in this war - and so far lost twice. The quickest way to end hostilities is to provide Ukraine with more weapons - because Russia needs to be bled out.

Capital alone can't maintain a cartel. Investors can partner with doctors to set up a new vet clinic to help break the cartel, and there are significant rewards for both. In turn, the competition lowers prices across the board. Cartels are essentially a prisoner's dilemma without rules (like licensure) enforcing them.

Doing "new" stuff and being more performant is really in the domain of the web browser, not in the javascript libraries that run on browser engines. Saying React doesn't enable "new" stuff in that regard isn't really fair because React isn't meant to do that. What React does do is allow for the development of maintainable complex applications such as most major web apps you use including Instagram, Facebook.com, Netflix.com, etc.
> If you thought corporate VC was bad, try that in an old-Europe context...

I am not sure whether it is specific for old-Europe or not just a universal symptom for long-running companies unable to re-invent themselves, because they were somehow locked into an established pathway, so that fundamental changes promissing probable benefits in the long run would mean certain short-term losses in the near future due to major investments and canibalization of their legacy businesses. An example outside of Europe seems to be Boeing's stretching of a several-decade-old airplane design towards a limit were it became increasingly problematic, while starting over would have involved extremely large investments and the loss of much of the experience gained from the old design.

On the positive side, such lock-ins of traditional companies can mean sound business opportunities for small newcomers. I was myself working with small dynamic companies in Germany and Austria who were afraid that one day a large, financially strong competitor might decide to copy their successful products and business modell or enter their highly profitable niche market -- however, it never happened. In other words: If the parent is right and established companies in old-Europe are even more unflexible than elsewhere, it should be safer to attempt to disrupt their old-Europe markets than to try the same somewhere else.

Inflation as measured by CPI or Core CPI are objective measures. You are comparing that against a subjective measure but pretending like it is objective.

There are reasonable arguments to make that CPI is insufficient for measuring everything that we spend on (it underweights healthcare, gas, college costs, and lots of luxury investments like stocks and artwork). There are also reasonable arguments that cost of living in some regions is growing faster than 8% (the actual CPI number obviously isn’t homogeneous across the entire country).

Also important to note that there is no “intrinsic value” in dollar terms for any good. Everything is a negotiation of how much we want a thing. If you insist on Quaker Oats oatmeal instead of generic oatmeal (a personal preference), you might experience a higher rate of inflation than others who are more amenable to substitutes.

It's possible I'm reading my own biases into it, but this seems like exactly the kind of prompts you would use to get a non-sentient AI to talk about sentience. It would be a lot more convincing if the AI brought it up unprompted or went there from a generic "how are you today?" or something.
Asking questions is the easiest.

ELIZA, perhaps the earliest chatbot worked by asking questions. It was really simple: ask a question, wait for an answer, pick a part of that answer and ask a question about it, do it again and again.
