I switched to more relaxed role both times I felt burn out.

I suggest to you just coast by for a while and focus on health. Go to gym, swimming, sauna, walk in the morning, squash, yoga, dance, mtb, play social pc/board games etc.
Best of it’s something active and social.

I am very ambitious by nature and have to resist attempting too big steps and actively care about my health/balance.

I really encourage physical movement to manage stress and have healthy energy levels then some social hobby.

Can you provide a source which backs up your claim that Biden is helping Iran get nukes?

Can you provide a source which backs up your claim that Obama helped Iran get nukes?

Ideally, said source also backs up your implicit claim that Trump reversed whatever Obama's presumed policy decisions were which helped Iran get nukes, and that Biden reversed Trump's reversal.

Thanks.
I would love to stand corrected, but as far as I understand it, NP->GR modification also instantly explained many same-day and subsequential phenomena, and mostly without issues. GR->? modification still faces some obvious today’s issues like galaxies “almost without dark matter” and galaxies/regions “almost fully consisting of it”.

It doesn’t mean that GR is correct. But GR is a formula that perfectly matches a dataset of local observations. ? should at least match farther ones, but they clump randomly like some non-interacting blobs/streams and do not form a general rule. This new dataset is either still too small or has no clear formula describing it at all. That’s why ? is still ?

Is that correct?
I just recently switched to Snipd and have not looked back. Pocket Cast were great over the years but I don't see them innovating. With Snipd there is almost always a full transcript available and an AI generated Table of Contents to cue through. I can easily save a transcribed clip I am listening to for export to a TfT program like obsidian. Not sure how I ever lived without these features now I am used to them lol.
> I would agree that there are lines that shouldn't be crossed in actions. But only actions. I will never celebrate or promote ignorance over knowledge.

With the exception of studying natural phenomena like astronomy, geology or weather events, all knowledge of humanity has been gained by willful actions of humans.

I think that there are red lines in humanity that should never be crossed by anyone and where active ignorance is the only way to prevent untold horrors. Even knowing stuff like which genes contribute to intelligence can and will be abused - the Nazis, for example, forcibly sterilized people they considered to be "mentally deficient". There is not much fantasy needed to think up a dystopian country that limits which people can conceive a child based on their genetic compatibility, for example, to prevent "dumb" children from being born.

And to believe that this would only be an issue for dictatorships like China (which has shown many, many times that it does not care about ethics or human rights at all) and that democracies could never fall down to such levels is IMHO beyond foolish. No democracy is safe from falling down very deep cliffs - the US and the UK show just how thin the veneer of civilization is and how easy authoritarianism can take over.

A cynical view would be the billing is designed to trip you up.

As an example, if you use Azure with a Visual Studio subscription which includes credit, once the credit is used all of your services are suspended and no further charges are incurred.

As a pay-as-you-go customer this option does not exist. You can set a billing "alert" but that doesn't stop the charges.
They're saying brain processes must have interacted with the nuclear spins, and those brain processes must be quantum. But everything in the brain is quantum at some level, because all of reality is quantum. It's quite possible this is an entirely irrelevant side effect. The brain is a complex living system with all the features of biological systems completely aside from the fact it's also the organ we think with, as against the organ we breathe with, or that processes our blood.

I'm not excluding the suggestion that quantum effects have macroscopic implications, but for example transistors only work due to quantum mechanical effects. That doesn't make all computers containing transistors 'quantum computers' in the accepted sense.

I don't want to be reflexively negative though. One thing we are sure of is that biological systems are unbelievably complicated, and almost every aspect of biological systems has some sort of feedback loop or side effect on everything else, many of which do affect function. Everything we learn, this included, is valuable and could turn out to be significant.
"That doesn't work" and "that's unethical" are not the same thing.

We can select for anything we can measure. E.g. if we did sperm harvesting from everyone who scored top marks in memory tests and sterilised the rest we'd get a population that's very good at memory tests (and probably also has better memory than today's average).

In theory we could attempt to measure general intelligence using a battery of tests for everything we can think of and this would probably improve general intelligence. It would probably also give us all Tay-Sachs.

I don't understand the point you are making, but my point is that MIDI on old hardware works BETTER than on modern hardware. Whether or not the operating system is unsupported is irrelevant. The old hardware is not "outdated" in the sense that it WORKS BETTER.

But to respond to your second point, I believe that Apple has REMOVED apps from the App Store that were previously available to download. For example, I was not able to download on my old iPhone 4 the latest working GarageBand for that device, because it was deleted. This is not the only app that I have not been able to download, because it was REMOVED FROM THE APP STORE.

But I think the point you are missing is that if Apple decides that these devices are obsolete and they will not support them, they should be willing to at least release documentation that allows people to write/install whatever software they want on those devices.
ADHD is actually underdiagnosed in most countries...

A proper diagnosis is highly correlated both with the probability of certain consequences (violence, drug addiction, low academic performance...) and the likelihood of treatment lessening those consequences.
> Is it ideal that Americans get squeamish whenever intelligence is brought up?

But they don't get squeamish. They confidently claim there is no basis for intelligence (or personality in general) in genetics [1,2], then use any differences in behavior or outcomes as evidence of racism.

Our verification is based on symbolic execution, miri is an interpreter (concrete execution). So (at least in theory), our approach is more general. We have considered miri in relation to counterexamples: when Prusti emits an assertion failure and gives an example set of values that would lead to such a failure, we could use miri to make sure the counterexample is not spurious (which could happen with certain loop invariants IIRC). However, we have not implemented anything concrete yet.

Thank you.

As someone who gets distracted way too much I usually require that a project can demonstrate why it might be interesting at a glance and this one failed pretty hard.

Luckily it was on HN so I could come to the comments to see if it was worth looking into more deeply - but ideally it should be able to do that by itself.

My choices were either 37m video - or a bunch of text that seemed too abstract and didn't explain "what this does" in a concise, down-to-earth manner.

Also mentioning "Smalltalk" would have been a really useful thing. The fact it sounded Smalltalky and I vaguely remember reading about Pharo was my only clue. The minute I understood this was related to Smalltalk a lot of other things fell into place.
Yes Wireguard but not tailscale. Tailscale can only use the userspace implementation of Wireguard. Not sure why exactly.
> After this discussion decided Ill never ever want to work with ppl with such attitude.

This is a problem I constantly come across when trying to hire people coming from Netflix, Google, Facebook, Amazon and similar companies that have this "I'm the smartest vibe".

At one point in time, it was a good indicator of skill that they were coming from one of those places, that we could trust their technical knowledge as long as they left the place willingly and weren't fired from the place.

But some years ago it started to change and now we're seeing previously work experience at those places as something negative, as hires from those places tend to want to upend everything to something their previous company used to do, even though it wouldn't make any sense for the their new workplace to do.

And then constantly "scale" becomes an argument when the product they're building haven't even found a market fit yet. They're always jumping into this theoretical possible limits that we're nowhere near of hitting but want to solve everything upfront.

It's exhausting both for management and the rest of the team to have to deal with, so best just to avoid that class of developers as a whole.
You could probably swap "antidepressants" for any number of drugs and it's still a true statement.
Very much this.

As a few others have noted, it's not an absolute, and some interruptions --- for clarifying questions or corrections, say --- are welcomed. But to interrupt continuously, to do so in a way that disrupts rather than promotes the conversation, to not catch the nonverbal cues that this is annoying, and then to ignore multiple spoken requests to please not do that ... is beyond frustrating.

I've expereinced this with friends and coworkers I otherwise respect and admire their knowledge and capabilities. But in spoken interactions they're unbearable.

Message-based comms, where there's a discrete comment-and-response cycle, as on HN, email (lists or exchanges), and many message boards, though not quite so much text-based chat, is interesting in that it's possible to say (or write) one's piece without interruption. Of course, whether or not that's read is another question....

One of the people I'm thinking of specifically in this case actually does communicate quite well in written form. Verbal, interactively, again, not so much.

From the linked https://www.dezeen.com/2022/08/08/sustainability-liveability...

I mean, I have no idea about architecture and city planning but 200m, a single building sounds awfully small. But just a little wiggling of, say (170km/2 = 85km) x 400m or even (170km/3 = 57 km) x 600m would have made it so much more compact and, to me, still 100% captured the spirit of "a very long line along some train tracks".

> That sounds like truly valuable ERP, and largely devoid of AI.

Yes. That was kinda my point. Most of the time, it is just a good piece of software, not an 'AI'. In fact, for most situations you do not want an AI, because you want to the software to behave predictably.

My point being is: good software has been replacing need for humans to manage processes for a long time now.
Copilot under fire as dev claims it emits 'large chunks of my copyrighted code'
The Tea Act raised taxes overall from a British perspective, but due to the way it was structured it actually lowered taxes paid by the colonies in trade with the rest of the empire.

“The act retained the duty on imported tea at its existing rate, but, since the company was no longer required to pay an additional tax in England, the Tea Act effectively lowered the price of the East India Company’s tea in the colonies.”

https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/tea-act

The people who instigated the Boston Tea Party were known smugglers. Their real motives obviously were not written down, but they were smart men and had to have known this affected their bottom line. In any case the propaganda that the Tea Act would impose new (meaning higher) taxes on tea paid by colonists was straight up false.

There are plenty of locations where internet connections constantly breaks, or the network equipment is just so poor that everyone's connections drop/connect once a day or so. Or that the latency is so high that most servers drops your connection before they even gave you a chance to connect. That's "offline" as well even though I'm not actually offline, my connection is just really slow.

But the mindset you have explains a lot about why most software doesn't well in environments like that, people simply believe conditions like that don't exists so why should the server allow connections that take longer than 3 seconds? "Probably they're spamming us so let's drop the connection instead".

If you have the right setup, all of the issues you're saying are easily worked around (even the "copy paste from Stack Overflow" issue, although I'm not sure if that's a joke or not).
> But that's exploiting the fact that humans treat decimal representations as having implicit denominators

That's to say, we know which base we are using... which is a requirement for writing down numbers in the first place.

>So say you had a computer that didn't treat base 10 as special

Your computer treats base 2 as special. The apples-to-apples comparison would be comparing 355/113 to 11.0010010000111₂ (or a 16-bit float representation of Pi).

355/113 is a better approximation, but not as drastically as you wrote.

Writing in binary, 355/113 = 101100011₂/1110001₂, and the equivalent one is 11.0010010000111111011₂ - hardly that big of a difference.
Lambda CDM assumes that the initial density distribution is a Gaussian random field with a spectral index close to 1. There is only one free parameter setting the distribution of matter: the deviation of the spectral index from 1.

The detailed distribution of matter that we view in the present-day universe is a consequence of gravity (and other known physical laws) acting on that initial, random (but following a very simple statistical distribution) density distribution.
I'm saying: When you know how to build wheels, you may well want to build your own. If I have old bread and five minutes of spare time and a pan, I'll happily make my own crutons. There might be many reasons for why this might be the right course of action in a given situation. Maybe it's more economical to make more of the resources I already have rather than expend more by buying them at the store. Maybe I like keeping alive the heritage and knowledge of cruton making and will teach my kids how to make crutons one day. Maybe I like not being subjected to worldwide cruton-shortages when they happen. ...I just don't get the universal law of "if there's crutons available at the store, you must never ever make your own", and I don't think it is one.

Goldman Sachs thinks that risk management software is so core to their business that it makes sense for them to do it in-house while their competitors used off-the-shelf software. One weekend in 2008, Lehman Brothers collapsed. Figuring out your risks after such an event was something that nobody had programmed into their software. But Goldman Sachs was able to get their people to work through that weekend and know what their risks were when markets reopened on that Monday. In the year that followed, they had one of their best business years and massively outperformed their competitors.

"You think reinventing the wheel sometimes makes sense? Haha, well I guess you also think that Google and Amazon should be manufacturing their own computers then..." ...this is something that somebody might have said sarcastically 20 years ago. Well guess what. They are.
A related puzzle is: why is

sin(333) + sin(355) = sin(22) [angles in radians]

good to 1e-9? It's easy to say why it's good to 1e-3, a bit more work to show it's 1e-6, and just a little bit more to say why it's 1e-9.

If you know 22/7 and 355/113 then you just subtract them to get another continued fraction for π: (355 - 22)/(113 - 7) = 333/106 ~ pi; that's a bit of a hint.

> What problem does Alexa solve that your phone or computer can't? And why is it necessary to give a device the privilege to have a microphone on 24/7 to solve it?

Note that your phone also defaults to having its microphone on 24/7.

The problem that this solves, for people that use it, is that it removes a lot of friction from computer interaction. "[Hey Siri / Ok Google / Alexa] set a timer for twenty minutes" takes much less time and effort, and even works with messy hands when you're cooking.
