Personally, for most of my closest friends, I made them at around you age (I am 40).

The reason is simple: I moved when I was 23, to a place where I didn't know anyone. I met people there, we did stuff together, often, because I was very available, because I didn't yet have other people to spend time with, and now we are friends.

If you already have an established group of friends, you are probably less available to make new ones. But if you find yourself in a situation where distance is created, that's when you are the most available to make new friends.
I work in the embedded field, and have literally done the same application as the video.

We have a mixed team, including mechanical engineers, web developers, electronics guys, embedded software guys.

We do have ML people for custom networks but most of it is object detection/ classification which is a solved path and just needs data management.

We’ve done lots of cool ML applications, but many of them need management systems too so that’s where web apps come in.

You could definitely fill a position in a small company like mine and upskill / sideskill in time.

We’re based in Scotland but do have remote workers in other countries.
> but a larger number of experiments will always converge to the global distribution

But don't there exist universes in which that fails to happen? Consider a binary quantum experiment for which the global distribution is 0.5 (we might call it a "quantum coin flip"). If I repeat the experiment often enough, will it always converge to the global distribution? Well, suppose I have an ordinary (non-quantum) fair coin, and flip it one million times – what is the odds of it coming up heads every time? If I've got my maths right, 2^(-10^6) – so beyond astronomically unlikely, its probability is for all practical purposes indistinguishable from zero.

And yet, if MWI is right, then if I flip a "fair quantum coin" one million times, there are universes (just as "real" as ours) in which it comes up heads every single time. 2^(-10^6) is unbelievably small, but it isn't zero. Indeed, no matter how many observations occur, the probability of getting them all wrong just by chance remains non-zero – and, according to the MWI, everything with a non-zero probability in the global distribution actually exists. If MWI is true, there is no limit to how misled some actually existent observers will be.

Hence, by MWI, there are universes, just as real as ours, containing observers who (purely by chance) are consistently misled by their experiments, and therefore conclude that the global distribution is very different from what it actually is. But, if such observers exist, how do we know we are not them? We can say that, by the global distribution, they must be exceedingly rare, so it is exceedingly unlikely we are among them – but that argument relies on the assumption that our locally observed distribution is a reliable guide to the global distribution, which is the very thing it is setting out to prove – and hence must fail as a circular argument. With that argument dismissed, we are left with this conclusion: if MWI is true, we cannot know what the global distribution actually is. That contradicts one of the foundational claims of MWI; therefore, reductio ad absurdum, MWI is false.

This is different from classical sceptical arguments "what if our senses mislead us?", because it argues (if MWI is true) that such misled observers will exist, and the only question is how do we know we are not among them. Classical sceptical arguments are a lot weaker because they are not arguing from the (assumed) actual existence of such deceived observers, only from the (even remote) abstract possibility of their existence. But, if MWI gives sceptical arguments a huge boost - isn't that in itself a good argument against MWI? It renders MWI a self-undermining theory, and theories which undermine themselves ultimately refute themselves.

One might save MWI from this argument by assuming there is some "minimum probability", such that only universes whose probability rises to that minimum actually exist – if all the "misleading" universes are beneath that probability cutoff, no misleading universes exist, so we who exist could not possibly belong to any of them. However, this solution seems rather reminiscent of Ptolemy's epicycles.
Agreed on all points. I just happen to only use it on mac. My guess is that other things came up, or it just wasn't as lucrative as they were hoping. For most non-markdown notes I just use physical notebooks with satisfying Muji pens.
It works with walking, taking a shower or even going to the toilet.

I think the reason is simple: our bodies and minds set themselves in a kind of low-power mode when we're sitting or lying down.

This is why we have to drink so much coffee or other stimulants to do useful work while sitting.

Helping your neighbor builds culture. You help build a culture where we don't just accept some bad things than can be avoided, and that will reciprocate back on you in the long run.

Humans are herd animals. Each individual has a limited life, but together we build cultures that transcend millennia. That is what people refer to when they call on someone to leave the world better than they found it.

We should not accept for others to die of cancer where it is preventable, for example. But the effective way to achieve that is not for everyone to find a well paying day job and donate to cancer treatments for others. That's where the political undertones of EA leads them astray.

The more effective way is to build a society where cancer research and care in general is regarded as one of the more important things we do, and something to strive for. That it is something that should be given the resources it requires to achieve the goal, and that taking part of that is considered a fundamental right. That is where taxes come in. That doesn't mean taxes are good, or that it is necessarily the only way to implement such a system, only that it is the most effective method we have found.

Humanity can certainly eradicate malaria, for example, if the whole society decided it was the most important thing to do. The hard part is to nudge culture in that direction.
I don't know their specific reasons, but I know of some transnational companies that since the start of the russian invasion dissolved their russian division and told their employees to choose from a list of countries to relocate.

I like using slack more than I thought. We do a lot of calls
though (now huddles) and I think a healthy balance between calls, messages, in person (if possible) helps alleviate any miscommunication via text.

Also if someone is a dick they will still be a dick on slack. Fact of life. And a dysfunctional org will be dysfunctional on slack too. In some ways slack is just the conduit of that.

I have had some ridiculous situations with them. For one the developers in Bangalore Delivery Center 8, and what do I know, all of them?, had to work with their private computers.

A unix engineer could only work with Aix Tar and would not touch GNU Tar on Linux, because his manager had not approved it.

Onshore engineers flying home to India due to a stomach ache, instead of seeing a doctor for free in the host country due to being afraid. Of course messing up the flow of our projects.

Huh, I used to commute on a mountain bike in Somerville, MA. There were a couple of sections where I normally hit 20-25 mph on downhills. (Ones with no side roads to the right, and no tight corners.)

I wouldn't have wanted to wipe out or go over the handlebars at that speed. But on a familiar road, with 26" knobby tires and a front suspension, I had reliable control. The gyroscope effect of mountain bike rims is substantial at 25 mph. And a mountain bike is usually fine even on awful pavement, especially for someone who also rides in the woods.

The biggest danger by far in that scenario was Boston drivers. All the injuries I ever heard of were cars doing something illegal, or people getting doored on the Central Square bike lane. Overall, the statistics are pretty decent for experienced cyclists, if they're riding their daily commute and obeying traffic laws.

For an ebike, I'd want to stick with max 20mph pedal assist, and full size tires. And I'd want something I could ride onto a soft shoulder at full speed. So probably knobby tires and a front shock? If I can't drop 2" onto a sand shoulder, then I'm going too fast.

Really the ASX should just focus on providing a solid modern platform for trading. Simplicity, security, and speed. None of that requires any form of blockchain which is slower, scammier, and more complex. It just requires writing a modern electronic computerised system.

No, with redundancy your compiler can catch a certain class of errors (call them "avoidable") that doesn't exist in case of no redundancy. Of course, in both cases you still have the unavoidable errors.
Absolutely. Do you think any manager at Daimler wants to say/justify “I went with this noname 10 person company in the midwestern US” over “I went with Infosys because everyone in the G500 does, and have you seen those prices? I have 100 people working on this project where otherwise I’d have only 10.”

And what’s more, if one of them realizes their mistake, do you think any of them want to admit that to themselves, much less their boss, after sinking billions into it?
This was right around the time I exited as well. They backpedaled, sure, then charged forward with it anyways.
They might know of some, but I'm of the opinion that it's worth it to support the specification. It only takes one previously undiscovered application to rely on that specified behaviour, and then you need to fix it. If it were solely a game emulator I wouldn't expect this - performance probably comes first... But for running professional software, I'd choose correctness any day.

I don't know of any applications the use AF, or the PF result in question, but I haven't looked into it. I'd maybe check some of the big professional things with a lot of legacy history like Photoshop or Excel. As I understand it Rosetta 2 also supports 32-bit x86, not for native macOS applications (where 32-bit isn't supported), but to allow Wine/Crossovers to work, so a whole bunch of ancient 32-bit Windows games might be in scope too.
> Even still, concrete is not flat, you'll eventually come across a missing cobblestone, etc. IMO it's a matter of when not if you'll take a spill.

As a former skateboarder in my teens I tried longboarding just for the fun of it later in life (around my 30s) and this is exactly why I stopped. Given time enough you will eat pavement, it's just a matter of when and how.

I decided to stop when I took a fall from a gap between concrete slabs that wasn't visible, I remembered to roll but still mangled my knee and somehow my thumbs and was out of commission on a 2 weeks recovery. It fucking sucked, the pain was much longer lasting than when I was a teen, the lost mobility made me unable to work for more than a week. I have responsibilities now, I can't be taking weeks off work due to a stupid fall from something that was supposed to be fun.

The electric unicycles always scared me though and I never tried them. I've seen 2 accidents happening in front of me when I was biking and both were really gnarly, even for my standards with action sports. Calling an ambulance for a stranger passed out after they lost control going over 25km/h and hit a parked car was really not fun.
> Panel gaps don’t even matter from a pragmatic standpoint.

panel gaps are a sign of quality. Why are there gaps? at best the door hinges are not aligned properly, at worse the whole chassis is warped. Does the door close properly, as in seat where it's designed to? will that cause paint damage? when the temperature changes and the doors shift, will that make the windows fail to close properly?

If the doors are not aligned properly, does that mean that if there is a crash, the points where the load is supposed to be dissipated are missed?

Does that mean that its easier to break into? can I just get a slimjim down the inside and hoik out valuables.

If this was a budget car, that was engineered to a price so that _everyone_ can afford it, then yes, I'd let tesla off. its not a big problem. But its not, Telsa are supposedly a luxury car maker.
Show HN: Cujo's Curated SIDs
I've listened to SID music on and off since the 80s, and mostly from early games and demos. Lately, I have explored more recent music. There are online lists of peoples favorite SID music, and online players, see [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Because I have different tastes, I had the motivation to make my own list and UX. So from january 2020 to september 2022, I listened through the HVSC having over 50k songs, resulting in a list of 600-700 favorites. I put together a UX so I can easily access them. This project is mostly for my own enjoyment, but I guess that many others here would also enjoy it. Please let me know if you have suggestions for songs I should reconsider adding, or some feedback on the UX.

I was pretty much exactly like you describe yourself here, for most of my life. I vented about it on HN occasionally for years, and every now and then, someone would suggest, "this smells of ADHD; get yourself checked out". So, at 32, I did, got a positive diagnosis, and my life finally started to have a noticeable upward trajectory. One of the major changes was that, for the first time, I could feel I'm actually capable of holding a job and supporting a family. That alone alleviated some serious emotional misery.

So, in the spirit of "pay it forward": this smells like ADHD; go and get yourself checked out if you can. It may be nothing. But it may be something, and if it is something - ADHD or not - an array of new options will open up for you.

Personal tip: if you do decide to get checked out, try and find an adult ADHD specialist. A random psychiatrist will likely first try to evaluate you for depression or some generic anxiety disorder, and you can waste a decade on it with little to show for it (guess how I know). ADHD is much faster to rule out (or in) than either of those.
...You can have a project with exceptional engineers working on the domain specific language, or concurrency features in Haskell/Scala.

Individual engineers are not necessarily talkative types.

They don't necessarily have the ability to influence feature creep in the boardroom.
It's also possible to use local AI processing chips like Coral or Gyrfalcon for this.

Could just load up a pcie card full of them if necessary. A local home AI would be such a boon to people, not just the average person but the elderly as well, combined with a refined GPT etc it could conversationally respond to requests rather than most assistants' current request->response "I am a robot" scheme.

It's sad that we have the technology to do this already but haven't.
Windows actually has very good support for Android devices built-in and at least some OEMs like Samsung ship with what's needed for the two to connect out of the box for features like SMS message forwarding, copy/paste etc. They actually support things that Apple doesn't. It's possible to use apps from your phone on your PC for example.

And while you do need to download KDE connect to get the fancier features on KDE, out of the box you do still get USB file transfer. Which is great when you want to give someone a file that's on your phone. They don't need to download anything, link accounts or need a device from the exact same manufacturer as you. Unless they use MacOS.

People criticize technology all the time on this forum. Is this pointless because useless technology would die on its own anyway? Maybe eventually, but only after wasting resources.
| I just fail to see the point in lamenting the process or purposefully
| removing yourself from it on some principle. DS&A studying and time
| complexity analysis..

Well I think there are a few different things here. In your previous comment you mentioned supporting DS&A questions because there are no standards or peer reviews for software development unlike doctors, lawyers and engineers (civil, structural, etc). I think if answering the DS&A questions guaranteed a job at the end or was used ubiquitously in the software industry there would be less push back on this. As the previous poster alluded to doctors, lawyers, and engineers are asked to speak more to their current work and not review some process they previously only used briefly in school, with the understanding that getting their degree and certification means they can learn or refresh on a new concept. While there is incomplete data related to hiring there are a number of anecdotal stories that DS&A are just used as elimination questions without consideration for existing or relevant work experience. DS&A is useful for new software developers that have no work experience outside their initial schooling. Otherwise people who have developed systems or projects can speak the the actual pitfalls and their resolutions.

I agree with you that knowing or thinking about DS&A as part of honing your developmental skills or working with a new language is useful, however I think the scope of it as a sharpened skill provides overall diminishing returns as most people only brush up on it for interviews. This is what I would surmise the previous poster was alluding to in that its not a generally called upon skill in day-to-day software development use, so what purpose is there in asking about it unless a performance issue/enhancement was part of the general discussion.

It is also possible that companies that ask these types of questions are providing indicators of how they operate. To some making a ton of money isn't what they are after so eliminating these types of companies is beneficial to them. Otherwise if 10x the money is your goal, then as you said its just a small hurdle.
Because there are no use cases for blockchains. Humanity spent billions (trillions?) of $ on this technology and there is no use for it. Now the people who sank their money into this, desperately try to find some fools to pass the hot potato to.
I don't have any specific advice, as no one solution fits all. What I can point you towards however is some resources that combined have helped me to re-evaluate my relationship with these tools.
