By conservatives, do you mean the same people who believe we should be conservative in our application of government?

Are you sure you are not speaking of liberals, who believe government should be applied liberally?

Not like any of them act as they speak, but if I am not mistaken, that's what the words mean.
I don't think this is a good faith comment. It is very difficult and rare to add that much muscle.
A couple years back I tried making colecanon due to a random suggestion from a friend. It's just mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage or kale or such, seasoned as you like. I do a version where I brown the cabbage in butter first.

I was surprised just how satisfying a plate of it as a meal, and thought exactly the same thing: I'm pretty sure you could live on that stuff indefinitely and be in great shape.
Wait, I'm pretty sure operand collection logic & banking is there to keep the number of ports on the SRAM low, so basically you're arbitrating and buffering requests coming from high register count instructions (say 3 input fma) and potentially multiple pipelined SMT threads (not thread in the nvidia sense, thread in the "a whole wavefront/warp" sense).

However to me it seems that's completely orthogonal to the vector lanes : I don't see why two parallel lanes in a single thread (eg a 64-element GCN wavefront) would need cross-connected logic at the register file, since almost all instructions _do not_ read/write data from another lane.

There are a few cross-lane shuffles / reduce instruction but it seems to me that those would be handled in a dedicated execution unit. (they are not really the fast-path/common case)
Really? I did.

- Tapes would get chewed by the player

- Took an age to find the right recording (you’d spend an age constantly rewinding)

- Tapes would degrade the more you used them

- sometimes they wouldn’t even sync vertically with your TV. Requiring all sorts of fun and games tuning your hardware

- audio was often muffled and sounded like it was played through a sock

- if you shared a household there was always the risk that someone would tape over your favourite recording

- and even just getting the same content recorded was a game of chance. If the TV network was early or late airing your show or movie, there was a good chance you’ll end up missing some of it (back then there wasn’t an EPG so you had to programmed the VCR to start at a specific time rather than the start of a specific show).

Not to mention my younger brother kept jamming Lego into the VCR (but at least that’s not the fault of the technology).

I hated VHS. Switched to DVD the moment I could. Even though my computer wasn’t powerful enough to playback DVD properly I still massively preferred it.
This is all technically true, but it's also misleading I feel. Chess and Go have a lot of states, and you need all of them. The entropy of the games are enormous. Move that bishop and the significance of every piece on the board could change. Stratego has verrrryy low entropy. You can only move one piece one space at a time aside from scouts. You can also enter scenarios where the game just simplifies on some dimensions immensely to which some fairly dumb algorithms can win the game. If the enemy loses their top dude and their spy, your top guy is invincible against anything that has ever moved, which isn't victory assured but its probably relatively easy to write an ai to win from that point on.

Maybe this is just me but when I thought about stratego I'm pretty sure I only thought about a few units at a time. Moving all of them is a bad idea because of bombs anyway. Your mental model of the game does not consider the state of units in the back row of either side. It probably doesn't even consider all of the units in the front.

I also suspect a lot of optimal play is just doing dumb shit back and forth to force your opponent into making the more aggressive move in a lot of cases without technically forfeiting which most humans likely wouldn't do but ai would like to do if not constrained otherwise.

But I agree a simple tree search on possible moves is unlikely to work very well until the end game.
You are describing the hedonic treadmill. Essentially, you become used to your surroundings, and while they are objectively great, from the perspective of inside your own head, this is now normal and you / your monkey mind wants more.

There have been a lot of post floating around the internet with various solutions, the most popular being Stoicism > Positive Psychology / Happiness research > Buddhism / Meditation. I've dabbled a little in all of them and they all have something to offer.

Essentially, you are experiencing a disconnect between how it feels to be you and how you expected to feel. As someone only a little older than yourself, I would say this: your job will never love you back, and especially in the software realm, it may not be as fulfilling as something like woodworking or therapy. It does pay the bills, though.

The above mentioned happiness research / positive psychology suggests that having multiple, meaningful social roles that you can fulfill outside of work will allow you to shoulder more responsibility and find meaning in your life.

What I'm trying say is that in the second half of life, it is our job to give back. So start there.

> I've had zero trouble with taxis in Japan

Japan was the first (only?) place I've been where the taxi experience was comparable to Uber/Lyft. Every payment method accepted, apps, GPS routes, non-hostile drivers, and clean vehicles. It's no wonder why ridesharing companies have failed to gain much market share there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel that your comment is trying to connect a "big glucose spike" with the cause of diabetes. They are not connected. Millions of people are eating apples, grapes, plantains, strawberries, raspberries, etc every year without issue.

To tell people to avoid these healthy foods is not backed by the science. And so what if it raises your levels temporarily? Running raises my heart rate and blood pressure. Does that mean I'm about to die?
I'm overweight because I eat too much. Eat caloric surplus, gain weight. That part isn't complicated. Why I eat too much is another question...
> Indeed it is, and the solution to managing hunger (i.e. returning your whole insulin and leptin system to a more optimal baseline) is NOT going for a 90% carbohydrate diet.

Leptin system returns to a more optimal baseline with weight loss.

Insulin returns to a more optimal baseline by increasing insulin sensitivity. Exercise does this most effectively, loosing weight also does this. Low carb diets don't do this directly, only through weight loss.

Managing hunger is managing your dopamine response. Eating nothing but one food, will make you very bored of your food. You won't be looking for food as entertainment, stress relief, or a cure for boredom(dopamine). You will only eat for true hunger(lack of dopamine can feel similar).
This person's main argument is that because Ansible can be used to accomplish some of the benefits (for some definition of accomplish) of NixOS, that NixOS isn't doing anything special or differentiating.

> 90% of the time the driver lies and says "it's broken" to try and force you to pay cash

Two can play at that game. Despite the practice being illegal, cabbies in the Vancouver area ask if you've got cash before you get in. I always say yes. But, I never carry cash. When we get to the destination, I play dumb, and ask if they've got a machine. They do, because they're required to by law. Or, on the off chance I do have cash, I'll say "oh, but I only have a $10" and sometimes they'd rather knock $5 off my fare than take a card.

Also, I live in a burb, so I've taken to lying about where I'm headed until the car's in motion. Since they always want directions, not a destination (are they dishonest or ignorant about what route's best?) this has always worked for me.
Of which they have 0 proof of. In fact, Twitter gave them the access they asked for last month.

> Most days, I do not have to interact with anyone from work, not even customer contact.

The most satisfying job I had as an software engineer had me working side by side with other amazing engineers, the types of people who have Wikipedia articles about the stuff they've accomplished in life.

Plenty of people work jobs earning less $ if they have an amazing group of people to work with. Sitting side by side with someone who is a catalyst for brilliance is worth a lot, because it adds a lot to your level of personal fulfillment.

> I work from home. My job is technically interesting, and I still learn/improve.

How much do you improve? How hard have you stretched yourself? I've worked with people who made me go far beyond what I thought I could ever do. That was technically interesting. Learning how to read clock diagrams and calculate memory access latencies to see if my algorithms could even run, that was technically interesting.

Working until 11pm at night listening to metal music sitting side by side with another engineer as we tried to write gesture recognition algorithms on a capacitive touch sensor that only had 6 pads (lol), that was interesting (and frustrating).

Do I enjoy my 9-5 now? Sure. But it isn't satisfying. Pushing the industry forward is satisfying. Building foundational technologies is satisfying. Fighting tooth and nail to make technology do the impossible, that is satisfying.

The moment you start thinking of a diet as something that deprives you of something, you are on the road to failure.

"Every diet restricts food choices."

This is incorrect. Good diets do not restrict food choices. They usually limit overall intake. You can eat whatever you want. You only have a certain number of calories you can eat per day without gaining some weight. I'm defining "good diets" as a diet that helps you maintain a healthy weight.

Basically, a diet is what you eat. If you eat junk food, your diet is junk food. When you go on a "diet" to lose weight, you generally change what you eat and how much. So, the most successful diets are ones that replace your old unhealthy diet. This means learning to eat a good diet as a habit.

It also means realizing a diet doesn't end just because you eat way more than you should one day. The mental strength needed to realize you didn't fail your diet, but simple changed your diet for one day, is quite high. You didn't fail. You didn't fall off the wagon. There is no wagon to fall off of. This is probably the biggest mental shift for me. Accept that I will eat unhealthy some times, and I don't need to feel guilty for it. I just go back to normal next time I eat.

And that all revolves around changing your normal diet, or what you eat normally. All of that also means I know I can eat anything, but only so much.

Note: This is mostly me rambling, so I apologize for any confusion. This is also my overall look and what's worked for me long-term. This isn't something that might apply to you, but it's how I see things, and helped me. Maybe it will help others.
> I dream about doing my own thing

If you’re not doing your own thing, you’re just someone’s puppet.

<Citation requested>

Is this common knowledge? It's the first claim I've encountered of Canada attempting Internet censorship.
I really don't know how to state this any more plainly: he was charged, in the same manner as other drug kingpins have been charged, with a narcotics conspiracy whose overt acts --- in the indictment, as charged behavior, which the jury had to find true beyond a reasonable doubt --- were comprised of two different murder-for-hire schemes. He was convicted of that charge. He appealed, and his appeal didn't contest that charge or any of the findings of fact (or, for that matter, testimony leading up to that finding of fact) for that charge.

The second bit, about nobody needing to be dead for him to be charged, we agree on.

One reason I think people are confused about this is that there was a second prosecution, by a different team of prosecutors in a different case (out of Baltimore?) that charged the murder-for-hire scheme more directly. That may be, but he was still charged for it in the SDNY case, which earned him a life sentence.

SDNY was not evasive about this! They not only indicted for the murder-for-hire scheme, won a conviction on it, and had him sentenced based in large part on it, but also crowed about it in their press release. I'm sort of baffled by the extremely common belief that the DOJ "dropped the charges" about the murder-for-hire scheme. They did more or less the opposite thing.
Are these supposed to be convincing examples of successful products?
1. take a vacation to a third world country...i've found it enormously helpful to see the world from outside of the western bubble. it helped me to appreciate what i had and to be grateful.

i thought fat was largely debunked as being the primary cause, though i'm not going to go searching for studies as i'm not a dietician (though my partner is).

consider this: each of those meals at McD's, BK, or Pizza hut come with a 1-2 liter soda, loaded with calories and sugar. yes, the fats are there, but they are _always_ paired with loads of sugar.
Ask HN: Surviving a FAANG acquisition as a tech lead
I've been lucky enough to have found my passion (programming) at a very young age and have been able to build a career from it. First as a developer, than making my way up the ladder as a tech lead and eventually CTO. Not so long ago, my relatively small and humble company (of which I was a CTO, not founder), caught the attention of one of the FAANGs and got acquired. I thought I had hit the jackpot. I was part of the lucky 1% whose startup did not go bankrupt, and I could now proudly have this achievement in my resume. Turns out the transition into this new company has been far from perfect. Ridiculous pressure. Extreme politics. Unrealistic deadlines, etc. On top of it, my LinkedIn profile has gone silent. Nobody seems to care that I was CTO of a company which got acquired. Maybe I was naive, but I was expecting this would serve as some sort of validation to the industry that I at least have _something_ valuable to offer, and offers would be coming in left and right. Nope.

I used to be a high-achiever, go-getter, work-first type of person, but joining a FAANG through an acquisition as a glorified middle manager has completely ripped the soul out of me. I've gone from a positive, highly confident tech professional into a bad-tempered, cynic paper-pusher.

Has anyone been through a similar sort of experience? Is the only way out of this to simply leave the company, or is there a middle ground I'm not seeing?
"Illogical, you could do your own reasearch"

No, it's not illogical for us to ask you to validate your completely made up, speculative claims that have no basis in reality.

I've already 'done my research'. I know there is nothing 'doctrinal' about Russia's invasion.

You're making claims about other's rhetorical posture (i.e. "you are committing the error of confusing reasoning") - at the same time you're unsubstantiated fantasy statements.

Your claims about 'Russian doctrine' are a bit outrageous and I suggest you might not even know what the term 'doctrine' even means.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, so again, provide evidence for your wild claims.

Looking forward to it (I really am actually, prove me wrong ...).
Don't worry, the yellow cabs put handy mnemonics inside so you can remember what your cab number is instead of just remembering the cab number. So instead of having to remember the impossibly difficult "4M95", you can instead easily remember "purple antelope 7"

According to a recent ECB analysis, stablecoins are not suitable for usage in the actual economy and are not viable as a method of payment.
Not saying that doesn't happen. I hear about it all the time. It just doesn't work that way for me. I learn, grow and bond more in person than I do online.

Unrelated. Tried Matrix for the first time a few days ago. Horrible experience (very slow). It's a shame it's borderline useless, because it brought back nostalgia from my IRC days.
Actually the cable providers can and do track everything about what you watch. There are also no rules or regulations about how they can use the data they harvest from you.

Runs are better as well, some Sundays I don't eat, go for a 30k run on 14:00 and have a meal after. Feels great. Never do breakfast either, sometimes lunch if I feel like it otherwise just a big meal in the evening.
Solo dev is nice, especially as a consultant. You can easily build your business credit score and can pay yourself a much smaller salary to save on taxes. I’d recommend an aggressive payment schedule, net-10 or better to make sure you don’t run into cash flow issues and need to use a factoring company.

In the end your client(s) may like you so much that they’ll propose to bring you in full time.
The first amendment applies to the government and not individual businesses like google.
1. Track actuals for work items
2. Compare new work items to actuals
3. Give range based on risk (known unknowns, unknown unknowns)

Fundamentally establish trust through transparency.

Remember most humans are trying to justify or find reasons to do something. Finding out it will take too long or be too expensive (in their eyes) is a reason not to do it. If those people have already made "positive noises" to other people, then your reality is going to run head on to theirs.

Help people, perhaps by asking up front "how much effort do you want to spend solving this".

It's not disrespectful at all. The engineering team does not exist in a vacuum independent from everyone else. What does happen is that engineers with a lack of maturity hate to have their judgment questioned.

Without knowing specifics of context, perhaps by understanding the constraints, needs of the business or limitation on budget, then any estimate you provide is going to be wrong in the eyes of the reciever.

IMO anyway.
Yes and the value you provide to the grid is less than the cost of cycling your car battery. So it wouldn't work out.

The number of people working in academic research labs for major tech companies is probably on the order of 1% of all PhDs.
It depends somewhat on what you mean by AGI, but if you mean something close to human-level, then the answer is that your focus should be entirely on figuring out how to ensure humanity survives the invention of that AGI. Major subproblems being figuring out what human values are and how to align the AGI with them ("outer alignment"), figuring out how to make the AGI successfully pass its values on to more-powerful successor AGIs ("inner alignment"), how to detect and limit the formation of misaligned mesa-optimizers inside your AGI, and how to detect if it's taken a treacherous turn.

And if you somehow find yourself in possession of a functioning human-level AGI and you didn't know all those jargon terms already, then the answer is to halt, melt and catch fire, shut down your research project and go study until you're ready to take things seriously.
There is no exchange, no central price. If you see a price on TV or somewhere its what a given bank or instution quotes, or maybe a blend of quotes. This is probably true of everything now, if you buy Apple stock you probably aren't trading on Nasdaq you trade on some hedge fund algo, the Nasdaq price is an approximation of what bid/ask you'll trade at.
Lesson of life, most people don't really care about anything as long it doesn't inconvenience them (directly)
I see your point and I agree with most that you wrote. I don't believe the article I linked to is dangerous, though. It clarified many things for me (not to mention putting Brodsky in a new context, personally I found it quite shocking).

I remember watching the Chinese movie Hero (2002), sponsored by the state. The main premise of this beautiful movie is that dictatorship has its value that must be respected, and only people with deeper insight can understand it. Banning such works serves no purpose, but it's important for people to learn to spot manipulation and propaganda.
Find meaning outside of your income source. Perhaps more time with family, or a hobby you enjoy, etc. Settling is a derogatory term for knowing what enough for you is.

Going by their description of the problem, it looks like it's distinct from how all the mainstream post quantum algos (LWE, NTRU, SIDH, etc) work.

Contentment doesn't come externally: you summit one mountain, only to see others in the distance. Once you've climbed the tallest, what do you conquer next?

You're at the top of a mountain.
You're in a great place.
You can feel proud of this.

You now get to choose a new thing(s!) to conquer … as others have mentioned, maybe it's getting involved in an organization you believe in, maybe it's starting a project, heck maybe it's making pottery every day.

The feeling of satisfaction/"enough" is important to feel: you're becoming aware that you have more ambition/ability in the tank … but don't let it boss you around: use it to apply your attention to something you care about.

There's an unlimited amount of "more" to want. You'll never be satisfied with it. It's not about "settling down" … it's just that you've "solved" one part of your life well enough to be able to not worry about it for a while.
