> I AM WILLING TO WORK FOR $65K/YR FOR A 40-HR WORK WEEK.

I wish it were that easy lol. But then you always get the actual bad jobs flooding you for cheap work (and the good jobs always think it's like a joke).

> 4-day work week companies, Nonprofits, Smaller family-oriented companies like smaller web agencies that pay a fraction of what a typical megacorp would pay

Good ideas, I honestly have been waiting for job postings to open up at the local library since that would be nice enough too but I really like SWE work and want to stay, just like you know, in a "de-stress" way while stilling having the structure, connections, and growth environment that the high pay jobs maintain.
Depending on how hard you're pushing yourself this is commonly known as "greasing the groove" and is often used to get passed performance plateaus. The key is to never train to failure, increase the total volume of fresh/quality reps(spread through the day), and switch up the routine after x weeks to avoid overuse injuries.

This is not the case for me. I program several hours; every single day. The results speak for themselves.

I also walk 3 miles, every morning. It helps the old ticker to keep ticking. I used to run, but kept injuring myself, resulting in long breaks.
People vary a lot. One of my friends lost 10kg of muscle mass in less than a month without being sick. He just stopped going to the gym every day and went on holiday. If your natural build is skinny as a rail and you’re buff and you stop some people just deflate like a balloon.

100% agree. The most important point is to make exercise enjoyable; the more it feels like a chore, the more you will not be getting out there doing it.

Good times for said countries to start weaning themselves off imported cereals and go back to their own traditional crops. I can understand how Egypt got into the mess of being so dependent on cheap foreign wheat, but Nigeria and Indonesia?
yes! Let's do it
There is a factor usually left out: tendons and ligaments.

Lacking blood vessels they can't improve as fast as muscles (tendon/ligament improvement/repair is happening thanks to electric potential gradient generated by piezoelectric effect of stretching/compression), but are part of muscle control system. If a tendon signals overload the attached muscle won't be able to generate full power.
I wonder how energy prices are going to change that. If someone needs to pay $1000 a month to heat their homes all day in the winter because of WFH, I can see that tipping over lots of folks to go back to the office.
If you mean cliché as in "widespread and pre-eminent" then I agree, because that it's a fair description of Japanese work culture. The jerk side of it is taken care of by the hierarchy, those who are above you may be a jerk to you, and those on a similar level will instead use passive aggressive tactics but are incredibly unlikely to be a Torvalds style jerk.

If you want to point out where the extra complication is, I'd love to know.
I'm pretty sure that their headquarters needs janitors, a landscape crew, and folks to fix small things. They probably have a cafeteria, too. They might be a lot of high earning engineers, but I'm guessing these folks are a sizable portion of the people working there.

They likely don't get paid well.

Heck, I'd be surprised if they are employed by apple instead of some contractor - meaning they likely get far poorer benefits than the folks that have a chance of affording stuff around there.
Probably relevant for the HN crowd: there's a bunch of very geeky next gen fitness guys that keep up with the cutting edge of fitness research, and occasionally expand it themselves. If you're reading them, this kind of thing is being discussed for years, with new studies just moving the odds a bit in favor of the current hypothesis. Yes, they're very Bayesian, explicitly so.

A few names/links, pick and mix as you will - they're all good:

Probably not the best links for each, but it's morning and I got work to do. Should be enough to get you started tho.
I think it's still helpful as it indeed will give you more understanding. You wouldn't want to go for optimised algo's etc unless that rocks your boat, but just basic implementations is good to learn the basics from imho. And pretty satisfying to boot, again, imho.
Follow the HuggingFace Colab notebooks. They are well-written and language-related AIs are a great way to get started because you'll naturally have a feeling for what it should produce.

Afterwards, do a statistics class. Most algorithms these days are based on softmax, meaning the cross-entropy between two discrete/continuous probability distributions. There's a lot of choice in which distribution to use to model what and it will have strong effects on your gradients and, hence, training trajectory.

Concepts like shannon information and entropy are also very helpful for you to monitor training progress. Typical loss values will do exponential annealing and it'll be difficult to see further progress. But if you still reduce the bits of entropy in your classifier, learning is still going well. So you need to understand what to visualize and how to calculate that.

As for implementing research publications, maybe start with easy mode and go to paperswithcode.com . There, you will find papers AND their source code, so that you can look at how others implemented their paper.

As for FastAI and Kaggle, my personal impression is that it's mostly for toy problems. No real AI researcher would be willing to disclose their full source code to an international megacorp like H&M for a measly $15k in price money, yet similar terms appear to be the default on Kaggle:

https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/dfl-bundesliga-data-shoo...

https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/feedback-prize-effective...

EDIT: Also, I strongly disagree with course.fast.ai on these points: "Myth (don’t need): Lots of math, Lots of data, Lots of expensive computers" To train a state of the art ASR AI, you need roughly 100x A100 for a month, 100,000+ hours of audio recordings, and math knowledge to find a maximum likelihood path through a logit matrix. Unless, of course, you're only working on toy problems.

Two weeks ago I decided to try reps of 20 push-ups whenever I thought about them. I haven’t thought of doing so more than twice a day BUT I’ve noticed an increase in my chest mass.

I want to get back into exercising regularly but that large chunk of time isn’t conducive to my personal projects…I just don’t want to dedicate so much time to exercise.

I’m relatively healthy so it’s not a big deal but you know how it is. Your biggest bully is yourself.
I have never ever seen any headline like this.
I had a Yahoo account created in year 2002, the time when most of the sites including Yahoo Mail (I suppose) did not support HTTPS. Not sure if that was the reason but with every email exchanged, I found the number of spam messages kept increasing. Later in around 2015, I started using Yahoo's 'Disposable Email Addresses' features but the spam load on my original email address was too high that I had to create a new user account in a year or two later.

I still use Yahoo Mail primarily because of its 'Disposable Email Addresses' super-feature. For my new Yahoo account, I have maintained the habit of creating new disposable email addresses for every site I need to register with. The disposable addresses always contain the name of site/organization I am registering with. I have also kept a few pre-created email addresses at my disposal :) in case I need to provide one on a retail store.

In last five years, there hasn't been a single spam message on any of these disposable addresses. I always had the option to delete these addresses as soon as I start receiving spams on them but until date, I never needed to exercise them. The messages that are moved to Spam folder are always false positives, so in a way, I don't lose sight of any message just because the mailing service decided to mark it as spam.
It just going to come up with whatever selector that fits the element under your cursor. On obfuscated sites it's usually some kind of generated mess, randomized classes, randomized element names. Not only they're not constant, they change between reloads of the page.

Not sure how things are on Facebook, my point is that element picker is not a silver bullet.

Most of this is false, if you're trying to imply solar plus hydro is worse than nuclear and hydro. Taking them in order:

Demand is higher during the day. solar matches this better than the flat production of nuclear, so less storage per watt of production is needed for cheap solar energy when used to pump hydro storage, and even non pumped hydro can be varied to complement solar production and demand needs (within certain limits). And seasonally hydro and solar complement each other.

The land usage of pumped hydro isn't great, but since that's the same between both we'll ignore it for now.

Since the solar can be placed on top of the hydro dam water, or on the top of buildings, or used to shelter crops, the land use can and should be negative.

I very much doubt nuclear takes less material resources, but I don't have any good numbers for that off hand. Generally, cost is a reasonable proxy for energy and material input though (in the absence of large externalities) and solar costs less.

Again, hydro isn't super good for the environment, substiantially worse than nuclear and solar, but if you're going to build it to help nuclear deal with it's unhelpful power supply timing then you might as well use it for cheap solar.
> fantastic use case

How does it work?

If a company to which you have provided an email address, gets compromised, it's likely that you'll start getting automated pishing emails to that address? And that the address ends up in... some "warning" database like Have I Been Pawned, and you'll get notified?

Or something else?

Seems like a good idea :-)

Actually I have a clarification. There will be 2 drones. One is for intelligence, it will have a camera with 4K/30FPS at least (the bigger - the better). It will fly like 10-20 km away from the protected target in order to recognize the shells and the rockets. It just captures the video and sends information to some server being located near the protected target. This server processes the data from this drone, recognizes shell or rocket, calculates its trajectory and sends few simple "homemade" drones with 500g of explosion to the calculated trajectory of that shell/rocket. So it will not try to detonate 1 meter near the rocket, but just catch the rocket directly and detonate because of the contact with the shell. We can calculate the trajectory with some error of course thus there will be 5-10 such drones located in chess order to cover few meters in radius along the trajectory.
That depends on how you were trained. Many ground schools are now recommending students to use a CX-3 (flight computer) instead of slide rules.
Pretty nice and all. If they can make tractors with hardware that capable, they could probably give farmers the right to repair?
1 hour on, and no comments.

10 years ago, this would have been hot news with everyone trying to start building modded ROMs.
Well, what is your goal? The best bang for your buck in terms of time spent is weight training, just do Starting Strength, Mark Rippetoe, and once you’ve maxed that out, go for maintenance. Three hours a week. But cardio exercise is probably near as good and might be just as good for most purposes except maintaining muscle mass as you age. For that just do a Couch to 5K programme and then run regularly. If you feel like running more than three times a week do it. If you feel like running longer distances, do it. Or don’t.

By far the biggest difference is between the unfit and the moderately fit. Just start slow, take it easy and do something. Doing yoga four hours a week beats no exercise by a lot.
Yes. They can and will vary significantly. I'm in the UK FWIW.
I'd like to see someone advance the SQLite bandwagon by (A) showing how to queue up DB writes into a single thread in a variety of popular application programming languages (that have libraries for SQLite), and then (B.1) testing them for performance, and (B.2) for whether they measurably impede reads.
I'm a manager. My team, and most of the other teams we work with, have been working remotely for over a decade and coordination has never been a problem for us.

We have a 10 minute meeting every morning to catch up on what was done yesterday and what we're going to work on today. Then I can ping individuals after that meeting for followup discussions. On average, I have one of these followups each day. Then I have 1 weekly meeting with the other managers to coordinate our team efforts (and some DMs through the week to adjust/align as things change).

We work on software and hardware. We can operate and run our software against hundreds of remote hardware devices (in our data center). There is no need to be in the office if you have (or develop) remote tooling for your team to work well remotely. At this point, I would consider it very risky for any company to not be working toward at least the capability for full remote in the future. Who knows what lies ahead.

Walking is underrated. I've intentionally walked at least 3 miles every day (not without fail!), at top speed, in addition to whatever else is part of daily life. I don't intentionally do any other exercise (though apparently I'm strong enough to get asked to move things).

My resting heart rate (in my 30s) is 48 bpm. Forty-eight! (As measured on multiple occasions by genuine hospital equipment that I happened to be using in the course of testing/working on it.) For someone who used to be a fat guy, that seems incredible. And yet there it is.
IMO it could be active accounts before x date, and occasionally up that date. But always, intentionally, lagging behind by quite a while.

Even minutes add up. I only have a 5 min commute, but with my 260 workdays, that comes to 2 x 5 mins x 260 = 2600 minutes, or 43.3 hours. That over one work-week of lost time.

But I do work with people that have one hour commutes, each way. For them, that's 520 hours a year - or almost 3 MONTHS worth of working hours, just to sit in a car. And not all are blessed to have public transport - so that two hour commute means eyes on road and hands on the wheel.

We haven't even touched on things like fuel, tollbooths, vehicle maintenance, etc.
These kinds of efforts are heading in somewhat the right direction but would be much better if the authors spent some time reading up on the foundations of the relational model -- and instead of rolling their own bespoke map/scan/etc and 'object' and 'type' models based what they were doing on what Date/Codd etc identified as universal operations on relations and sets.

"Database In Depth" is a really good book. Highly recommended. Short and clear.

Don't let SQL scare you off the relational model. It has given it a bad name.

It most certainly is funded with tax money. This usually means that the work has to be publicly accessible. Which it is on https://arxiv.org. I agree that the fees journals charge to access (even your own) work is absurd, but it's not something most astronomers worry about. astro-ph is where it happens. I don't know about other fields, but the arXiv is really fantastic for astronomy/astrophysics.

It could be that they previously were inflame from training and thus held more water. Or, if you've been eating less (seems likely) your body might have had to take some glycogen from the muscles which also binds water. Lastly, sure, you may have atrophied some but probably not a substantial amount. Do something, if you can, that exerts the muscle (heavy being preferable over 15+ reps) to retain muscle tissue.

Great work! Keep it up. This method is called Greasing The Groove and is a well used method to break through pull up plateaus.

After two weeks of 40 or so push ups a day it’s incredibly unlikely you’ve gained muscle mass in your chest (or at least not noticeable) what you are probably seeing is increased water retention in the muscles and other associated exercise related side affects.

I’m a fairly muscley guy and if I stop working out for a couple of weeks I look “flatter” when I’m training regularly my muscles look fuller and rounder after a week or so back at it.

True muscle gains take a lot of time.

If they're starting out at a decent size I could definitely believe someone dropping 10kg after a month. However I have a hard time believing anyone would be visibly different after a single week's worth of working out. However I can sympathise, I was in that position myself and I guess I had a sort of (very mild) body dysmorphia where I felt like I looked chunky and bloated if I missed just a couple of sessions in a row. I realise now that I was being ridiculous, I was in very good shape and it was all in my head.

One issue is that the bigger you become, the more interesting you are as a target to break. So if you're a small company using a big company as a vendor, you've probably introduced a weaker link.

But if you're still small as a SaaS, trust is an issue to acquiring customers. I'm wondering where the sweetspot is.
