For me i made a few businesses, mostly games (https://addictingwordgames.com) and a crypto forecasting tool that i stopped working on.

They mostly helped me learn/grow on to better roles and learn more about creating businesses and machine learning.

My main income so far was mostly powered by house flipping/stock (canva)/work but i recently left to persue running my own AI business.

I now made/run https://text-generator.io an API for devs to generate text/code which recently became profitable.

I find with careers in general it's best to be the fearful one feeling like the perpetual imposter around greats, taking too many risks, moving around what you do a lot to build your skills, i received lots of negative feedback about ideas before e.g. "its impossible to predict the stock market", "if your predictions are so good then why arent you just keeping it to yourself", "why compete with Github copilot on generating code?" "arent they so good already", "isn't it too ambitious", "why compete with OpenAI", turns out there's lots of potential customers who are in much different situations than ones giving negative feedback, receiving the negative feedback helps you feel scared and know your doing something against the status quo.

I made some massive "blunders at face value" like leaving Canva and blowing lots of potential stock to go learn about using Machine Learning for generating text at a startup, blowing lots of money developing stock trading algorithms etc...

While taking the appropriate amount of risks to have a fulfilling life, you'll find it feels like a rollercoaster filled with ups and downs that may feel like epic fails but are really epic lessons.

Personal blogs are a great place to figure things out. I suspect the author of this piece is on a journey to discover that not only can introverts make friends, but they are actually really good at it. And can do just as well navigating and exerting social power as anyone else.

Although lots of talking can help, using socialising to gain social status requires only a few key moves at key moments. Talking continuously, being fun at parties and showing off is just one strategy. A good strategy, but probably not even optimal based on what I've seen.

In short, I suspect this piece is written by someone who is confused about what "extravert" means.
Going to go out on a limb and say it's because working for others doesn't make you rich. Extraverts get more jobs but does that really translate into wealth? Entrepreneurship creates far more wealth.

Or, you know, we move industry out to be closer to the PV fields. Globally, energy intensive industry probably moves to places like Chile with very high insolation. Too bad, Europe.
Not really. For example UAE is on the list as a top destination for expats. However, laborers from poor countries would probably have a different view on things in terms of career advancement or cultural integration. They're not permanent. I mean if your 'owner' holds your passport hostage you're more permanent than temporary. They're not really 'expats' in the context of the 'study'.
I think you're underestimating the extent of beaver altered terrain in the west. Estimates are between 60 and 400 million beaver before the fur trade started. We are currently sitting at 6-12 million and there are a number of watersheds where they have to be reintroduced because there are no populations in that area.
The real question is not whether that AI is sentient or not, but if merely calling it as such is worth firing someone. To me Google seems really scared of the chance that the public (+governments?) may be soon wondering what they're doing in the AI field from a different perspective, so that they got rid of the issue as quick as possible.
As I said Waifu2x too supports many different models aimed at different content, so what's the big improvement with Cupscale?
Yes, having a shared purpose for a team working together in the same place is difficult to replicate.

I'd argue though that, people used to have that with their local community, and it has since been replaced with working in jobs far away from home and the local community. This shift in working has not always been the default mode that civilization has collaborated, and a remote-first culture might enable some of the good things that come with being a part of a community along with modern technology.

In my other comment, I suggested reconnecting with that local community. Maybe if you never felt that camarderie with the community you live with, then perhaps you don't know what you've been missing.
Here's what reading the article says about that:

Microkernels have always been slower than monolithic kernels, never faster.

There is zero chance that Zircon will be faster than Linux.

The classic example is Mach from CMU:

"When Mach was first being seriously used in the 2.x versions, performance was slower than traditional monolithic operating systems, perhaps as much as 25%... When Mach 3 attempted to move most of the operating system into user-space, the overhead became higher still: benchmarks between Mach and Ultrix on a MIPS R3000 showed a performance hit as great as 67% on some workloads."

The filesystem abstraction can only work when it's used by cooperating, well mannered consenting adults. At it's core it is just a hierarchical key-value store where the core os plays a middle manager role connecting applications looking up keys and filesystem plugins serving values and persisting them onto the kernels block device apis.

It certainly can be a convenient and productive abstraction but the model itself has very clear natural limits.
It does however increase the carbon footprint of the river. Submerging forests to create reservoirs has created huge methane releases that nobody who thinks hydro is green power wants to talk about.

As someone living in the West, we have another reason to dislike dams: loss of salmon breeding grounds.

That's an interpretation of the Matrix some blogger made up. As far as I can tell the directors never said the pills represent estradiol.

It strikes me as a real stretch. The effect of taking the red pill is like an LSD trip.

> Objectively, Zeus does not exist

Speaking as a theoretical physicist: we don't know that. What we do know is we have a better explanation for lightning within a conceptually simple framework (starting from a few simple principles) with predictive power, compared to an explanation that involves some mysterious old dude doing mysterious things with no evidence whatsoever. Could Zeus or Thor or whatever exist? Sure; there's no way to prove their non-existence. Do we need them to explain things? No.

It's similar here. We certainly don't need some elusive concept of "sentience" to explain chat bots. Not yet.

GP asked about sequestration. Most of the productive economic uses for CH4 require burning it. Liquid synfuels are great and wonderful but they are carbon neutral!

You can use atmospheric CO2 as feedstock for plastic production, but world plastic production is only 380 million tonnes a year, while there's more than 1 trillion tonnes of excess CO2 in the atmosphere. It would take two and a half millennia to convert that to plastic.

> Incidentally, the fastest typers don't use a rigid key-to-finger mapping for ths reason too; they tend to use the closest finger that's available.

Only on QWERTY. On Dvorak there's a very rigid mapping and it very evenly uses all the fingers.

Personally, the ability to distribute the load more is why I prefer the number row over a number pad when typing numbers; though Dvorak helps there by putting the punctuation closer to the number row.

And on my ergonomic keyboard I have the numbers on the home row in the number layer, rather than in a numpad layout.
Doesn't he work on QC from the theory side? I assume he has at least some faith if he's spending his time on it. He's on Sean Carroll's podcast talking about this stuff but I can't remember what stance he took on it.

I know Stephen Wolfram isn't too excited. But I believe his issue was more that algorithms end with "and then a measurement happens", which might be quite tricky and possibly even cancel out any potential gains. Not sure about the details of that, but it makes superficial sense given the nature of measurement in QM.
> ...Priority must always be placed on the ability of developers to read and understand code.

The importance of this can't be overlooked, which is debatably why people and companies are constantly looking for a way to escape heavily complex languages and syntax. It is part of the thinking behind somewhat newer languages like Go, or newer offshoots like Vlang (https://vlang.io/), which has a focus on high readability and general usability.

If a language is being geared towards the majority or mass appeal, then it has to find that correct sweet spot. There is simply going to be a cap on how far complexity will be embraced or how much specialization will be found useful.

“Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex.” — Albert Einstein

> ...I am not convinced one can make something solving all the things Rust solves which is substantially simpler as language.

Debatably, such languages making the attempt, are less likely to succeed. Off rip, Rust already occupies that space. So, trying to make a "better Rust", which is already a specialist in that field (safety) and has already got "the push" from large corporate backers (Mozilla, Samsung, Quantum...) will usually mean failure, remaining in niche status, or overcoming incredible odds (like hitting a Lotto jackpot). The more the language specializes on that particular use case, then arguably the less general appeal and general use. And if there is already competition doing it better or being more known for that focus, the harder the hill to climb.

For that matter, trying to make a "better C", is another tough hill. Not only because C is so entrenched and established, but that there is already a long list of quasi "better Cs" out there such as Object Pascal, D, Nim, etc... Add in more complex or confusing syntax, less features, less functionality, or less usefulness... Then the hill gets even more steep. Hitting the bullseye, just isn't easy.

Neat, but long ago even that became too much. I use a bunch of alias like this:

# and many more

Interestingly, I ported these from hg aliases almost a decade ago. They were the same but with a leading 'h'.

The comparison to HHGttG is spot-on
Almost everything written is here is so wrong its hard to begin picking this apart. Nuclear is largely/completely safe in the developed/not-shitty-communist-Russia world. There have been 3 civilian/peace-time nuclear disasters: Chernobyl (USSR), Three Mile Island (USA), Fukushima (Japan). The death toll for Three Mile Island is 0, and for Fukushima its currently 1 (due to radiation) and even that death is being disputed in Japanese courts so it may be 0 as well. This is over decades in which large parts of the world are still running reactors developed in the 1960's and 1970's. More workers have died installing residential solar last year in the US than the total deaths from constructing/running/and dealing with nuclear meltdowns in the history of nuclear power in the US combined; and the number of deaths per 100,000 rooftops workers is rising by double digit percentages as rooftop solar becomes more popular.

Current generation reactors produce significantly less waste and modern material science has come a long way in terms of long term storage. Which speaking of hand-waving, you seem to be hand waving away what to do about the toxic waste that results from both the manufacture and disposal of solar panels. The claim that they can be recycled but aren't is the same argument you are saying nuclear advocates make ("we know how to do it but haven't yet").

Lastly, I am not even sure how you go about justifying that renewables are far better when you consider the lifespan and power output from nuclear. This is the problem that renewable zealots cause in terms of solving long term energy needs. Renewables fall short in terms of being able to produce and transmit energy on demand, the manufacture, shipping, and disposal of a lot of renewables ends up with a higher carbon footprint per W of energy produced over their lifetime, and we are passing the cost of operating utilities directly to the consumer. Anyone who claims renewables are "ever better" than nuclear is not concerned above the environment, they just want to display their religious convictions about "green energy" - if you want to signal to your friends how dedicated you are forget the solar panels and just make sure to wear an AOC pin everywhere you go.
Rooftop solar is far more expensive than solar put on land. The cost of rooftop solar (particularly homeowner solar) is usually hidden by implementing a big subsidy to wealthy consumers that is paid for by less wealthy consumers - sort of a reverse robin hood scheme.

We are well past the point where anyone can argue we should subsidize rooftop solar because we need to help build a fledgling industry - yet I see solar advocates continue to advocate for this wealth transfer from the poor to the well off.
Are you arguing foreign workers in UAE are "immigrants"? They aren't.

And sure, lower income foreign workers might have it worse than rich foreign workers, but they still come for the benefits.
Regulated one to be too expensive, subsidized the other to be cheap.

The arguments against nuclear are always a direct result of the previous set of arguments rooted mostly in panic, lack of education, and three small scope issues that range from unlikely to impossible now. But yea. You are right, we made nuclear too expensive to be viable.
It isn’t. The first implementation of promises I worked on was in Java. We used it as part of verifying certificate chains. If you use threads it doesn’t matter if the operations are blocking, as long as you move them off-thread.

For anyone wondering why Apple didn't ship it out of the factory like this....

There are laws and regulations in most of the world about the maximum surface temperature that devices may hit during operation. They usually vary by material. Since the MacBook is metal, the maximum surface temperature usually can't be above 45C or so to avoid burning the user.

I'd bet with this mod, the surface of the laptop gets much hotter than that, so it would be illegal to sell.
I think you’re right. If we add in some business about a portly porter who departed promptly from the port to go to a party while we were peering off the pier waiting for poor Captain Pearce of the Peerless to put in an appearance, I can practically hear it in Ronnie Barker’s voice. He might be the only person who could actually get through the script without stumbling.
This is kind of what big chunks of the internet were like back in the late 90s, very early 2000s, particularly before smart phones.
At first, the average kiwi's opinion was definitely in favor. The lockdowns initially worked to entirely stamp out covid and allowed NZ to return to relatively normal operations while the rest of the world was still in lockdown. But with omicron, even NZ's strict border control couldn't keep it out. Even still most people seemed to favor the lockdowns to slow the spread while we were vaccinating (NZ was near the bottom of the list in receiving vaccines since there was initially no covid circulating in the country.) However I started seeing people begin to complain when the vaccine rates topped 90% and there were still some restrictions, and the borders were still as closed as ever.

That being said, there was still a sizable group in support of continued restrictions both on the population and on the border.

…and you won’t make friends or build relationships with your work mates if you don’t put effort into it.

You may not care; that’s fine.

If you’re a happy and don’t care what coworkers think of you, do whatever makes you happy.

I was responding to the OP which was about things they struggled with about remote working.

What are you responding to, other than “lol that’s not me”?

Good for you. If you’re happy, why did you bother to respond?

What’s your advice? How do you deal with the issues the OP mentioned?

I tend to get responses like this from people who are being defensive about putting no effort into their professional relationships.

It’s fine. If that’s a thing you place no value in, don’t do it.
This is generally easier said than done for most couples. Like most things, hindsight is 20:20.
> Okay, but is that because brains are just better at optimization of linear algebra? Or is quantum mechanics involved?

No such magic.

The average ML neuron is connected in layers to maybe 100 other neurons. The brain is connected to far more ~1000 -10000 So its the dense interconnectivity at play. Whatever successes we have had with LLM now is because we are increasing the parameters of the network (although we haven't similarly scaled connectivity if I am not wrong, but definitely making progress there - for e.g. Pathways networks from Google by Jeff Dean et. al)

I don't have any Chromebooks but plenty of 1st/2nd generation Chromeboxes -the hardware and specs are pretty much the same- and after "liberating" them they became pretty good platforms for many tasks. One of them in fact displaced permanently my Raspberry PI 4 as Kodi media player.

People both underestimate and overestimate what PV can do. In summer and around noon, here in western Europe, there is so much PV-electricity produced that it is _almost_ enough to fulfill all demands. In winter, the amount is like a drop in the desert.

I have built a 30 kWp PV at home 2 years ago - you would think this is quite big, for a private plant. It is not enough. If I want to power a heat pump (with drilled holes), e.g. to cover the heating for the house from November - February, I calculated I would need about 70 to 80 kWp (optimized for winter sun angle, e.g. pretty steep modules at 60° or 70° that relatively produce less in summer, but more in winter).

Now I imagine all the people that buy tiny 5 kWp plants. The only way this would work is collaborative, with buffers at the medium-voltage level.

So the biggest problem is really energy transfer or relocation, between different time's and regions´ needs (winter, summer; night, day; or from different regions worldwide).

.. btw. here's a graphic for the calculation [1]. Blue is an imaginary heating pump electricity consumption over the year, red is the predicted pv production for a 60 kWp plant, where 30 kWp are at 60° angle - calculated with Europe's pvgis tool [2].

> Japan was the least friendly and I would probably never live there for a long stretch of time.

This. Whenever I hear a young Black person saying they want to move or visit Japan, I say one thing: "Don't. Go to Korea instead."

Japan is just not a friendly place. Yes, people will be polite and kind -- but friendly...hmm...This is coming from a long time resident. I met more long term close friends in 1 year in Korea than 10 in Japan. I'm talking people that I consider family. Of all the countries I have visited, Korea has been the most warm, welcoming, and overall fun.

When I hear my White friends discuss their experiences in Japan, it literally feels like they are describing a different country. I tell them sometimes: "We live in very different Japans."

Haven't been to Vietnam, yet. But I have heard good things.
