Now, the interesting this is the recent complete refactor of the country’s income tax portal. It was messy, but I feel it was heavenly compared to the clusterF that was healthcare.gov. So what are your thoughts on this being a WITCH specific problem?
You can get banned from amazon for fake reviews? I’ve made a good bit of money with reviews for nonsense products; probably at least $1,000.

It’s so obvious to me when I see a fake review now.

Short but not too short.

This universe makes perfect sense, you just don’t want to accept underlying equations is all.
I used to be a huge fan of Evernote, but a few things made me look at other solutions. One issue is the capturing of code was automatically formatted and I was burned a few times keeping my code snippets for reference.

Been using Notion for a few years but I prefer the tree view and there's not many note apps that work well with this method.
No, he meant physicists works exactly like that to find the form of equations and what to ignore, like what a field looks like in near distance or long distance etc, it isn't a new style of thinking at all. Its a part of higher level courses and its over a century old at least since it applies to energy transportation in fields etc.
100% ADHD also has a severity spectrum. And clusters of related things Most ADHD is similar at a high level, but some people have some aspects better or worse. And some people can barely function with it. Someone with some mild ADHD symptoms and patterns saying ADHD is not a big deal can be really harmful to people with more severe ADHD for obvious reasons.
I really like the NYRB Classics series, but do they publish new work? Most of what I see on it is 50 years old or older.
I'm sympathetic to that idea on first glance. Would you consider Stuxnet a cyber attack, though? I think I instinctively would, despite liking your description, yet it required USB drive placement.
True, OOM issues can occur when swap is disabled, but most consumers don't disable swap.

Regarding SSD lifespan, case-by-case analysis has shown that SSDs are both more reliable than HDDs, as well as capable of more TBW per lifespan. SSDs are better than HDDs in almost every way. With average SSD TBW capacity of between 60 and 150 terabytes written, and an average of 10GB written per day (which is on the high side), an SSD can be expected to last between 16 and 41 years, which is longer than the average usability lifespan on a computer.

Regarding your experience, I can't make an objective analysis however from the fact that you're running Linux and that you wrote to disk more than the nominal lifespan, I'm guessing that you probably were doing some IO-intensive things that normal consumers wouldn't do.

You're not the only one. Quite a shock to find something so opposed to what I expected. Gemini the simple web-like protocol vs. whatever this buttcoin dumpster fire is. All I wanted was to see the discussion around Project Gemini and discover new communities.
It looks like 3D printed homes with various materials are an option nowadays compared to old fashioned dirt huts.

Fundamental pieces of advice for researchers turning into developers
I learned this from a bibliophile minister many years ago: Any book worth reading is worth keeping. Any book worth keeping is worth having in hardback, if at all possible. Buy hardbacks (used if possible) and keep them. Bookcases aren't really that expensive. (Toss the occasional purchases not worth keeping, and don't worry about them.)

Oh, and do whatever it takes to keep mold out of your library. Moldy books that you decide to keep, not replace, belong only in sealed plastic boxes treated with borax, sodium carbonate, and/or chlorine dioxide, and preferably stored outside the house!)

Building a library is like planting trees - you don't do it so much for yourself as you do for those who will come after you. I have a digital library, too, but I don't expect it to be usable at all in a century...

I noped out as soon as I saw it wanted a yearly subscription to activate a week-long 'free' trial.

I didn't trust myself to remember to cancel it in time and was disgusted at them weaponizing this dark pattern against ADHDers, so that was it for me.

If you go to the Play Store and search for the one-star reviews there are loads of people saying the same. And also for those that did try it, that it's mostly useless anyway.
So you believe a state should be able to force people to undergo medical procedures? Or does it only apply to women being forced to give birth?
If you can call 15yo getting myocarditis a "wild success" I'll leave it to your conscience.

I did like 40% of the content over the year I used it - it’s got some great stuff in it. I churned at the end of the year but I’ll probably pick it back up again soon; I definitely feel it was worth the price of admission (especially compared to like… a single session of therapy)

As I said elsethread, I have no connection or financial interest in inflow aside from having met them through YC and generally finding them to be nice folks. I’m actually extremely scrupulous about noting when I do have a conflict of interest like that, for what it’s worth!

I feel like I just don’t know. How can I? I can hyperfocus, get into flow, and crank through things that make hours and days and weeks fly by. I can also be deeep in the pit of distraction where it is impossible to start anything and I feel broken and the deeper I get the more I try to avoid doing even the smallest thing that might mean forward progress because everything is already so bad so just go and play some games or something anyway. Granted that was my early 20s and I learned to achieve balance and even now in my early 40s I can focus on demand but it took me a loooong time to get there and I think my approach to how I do that and the way I structure my life is different from a NT persons. And for most people that was their normal their whole life.

Yikes, yeah that's not good
Therapy is a good idea, but it’s pretty universally true that written communication is more likely to be understood negatively.

All that was needed to obtain Elon Musk's definition of free speech was to fire the content moderation team. I don't see how an engineer working 100hr weeks will "make Free Speech happen". The irony is that Musk is running Twitter into the ground - I guess if Twitter shuts down the people sharing Musk's vision will deem the battle over free speech won since no one will ever again flag their tweet! /s

That's what we have anti-trust for.
I don't know if this is just me, but this seems like it would absolutely destroy my productivity. My best work is hours of uninterrupted exploration, toying around with ideas and threading them through code. 25 minute windows seem frustrating and distracting.

I agree, and think it also serves to negate any necessary accomodation you might otherwise get during the struggle to just do a standard job consistently.

Why Nietzche's ideas can be so dangerous without the aid of proper context and perspective. They are very seductive to a certain type of young man. But the reality of human fallibility leads to terminal ressentiment in the end for anyone fixed in that philosophy. It is a total dead end.
I don’t know you at all aside from this post, so I could be off the mark, but I suspect you need to find a better place of employment. Places where people exercise discretion and aim for quality and ship quality do exist. They are not the norm, but they absolutely exist.

The article mentions a takedown notice they received from GitHub instructing them on how to remove certain content from their repo. I'm guessing maybe this PR contains some of that content they were asked to remove, and there's a bug in GitHub when rendering a pull request page that references deleted content?
The last time I tried some pi derivative, many softwares doesn't work on them. If there is a fix, it usually involve self compiling the broken software, along with some of their dependencies. Of course they're all using different build system that you have to learn. The labor cost of that is probably greater than the cost per unit of the hardware. Especially since pi-based products are necessarily low volume.

There have been significant changes in diagnosis of autism in (overlapping categories): adults, women, people of color where the signs of autism were usually assigned to another diagnosis (anxiety, OCD, PTSD, bipolar, etc...).

I'm not a researcher so I can't really comment on the rest, but from all my friends (me included) who have finally realized that we were autistic in our 40ies and 50ies, what it's at least plausible that what looks like an epidemic is just people having a better understanding of the many forms in which autism manifest, beyond non-speaking white boy that likes trains.

I spent all that time thinking I couldn't be autistic because look I have friends and a job and I can sometimes do small talk.
I love this, never thought to apply it in that way. Thanks!
yes I am biased if bias means not weighting all people equally on moral grounds. I am not sure why I should. If someone did that I think it's interesting what conclusions they might draw about how to spend their money or what job they might choose. It destroys much of the point of having a family. You would have to weight random strangers with equal status to your own children. So the needs of random strangers would almost always outweigh the needs of your children assuming they are healthy and you live comfortably. It would not surprise me if EA people thought families were immoral though.

I don't think assuming an equal weighting is being unbiased though. It could be a result of a political bias. As I said I don't know why people should assume this. The digital era of social media and digital banking enable this viewpoint so I think that is another angle to discuss regarding how to weigh these issues.

But the specific bias I was accusing some in the EA community of having is virtue signalling as having superior ethics, morals, and intelligence. I think that is a real bias. I don't want to accuse everyone in the community of not being altruistic but claiming to be an effective altruist could certainly be a career enhancer if you are an ethicist. Also, my experience with this community is some of them come off as misanthropes. A misanthrope might be motivated to argue elaborate contrarian viewpoints in order to cause harm or annoy people.

Why would the danger of asteroid strikes be a reason for space colonization? It's much easier to find and divert dangerous objects than it is to establish a self-sufficient space colony.
It seems counterintuitive but the way you bring prices down is actually to bring them up enough to make scalping not profitable.

Scalpers have lots of costs associated with transaction. Tools, bots, ips, platform fees taxes, fraud etc. You by raising prices to 10-15% under the secondary market you basically price out the secondary and bring costs down for everyone

Pomodoro doesn't work great for everything, but it works well for focused work. Studying, writing, writing code after you've already figured everything out, etc.
You have a point, but I think you're underestimating how "very easy" of a process an audit is. It's a mountain of time-consuming work for everyone involved. Their audits are encompassing more and more each time. They've talked about wanting to go public, at which point they would need to disclose everything quarterly, so I think it's likely they'll work their way up to your standards one day. But even if I'm wrong, if you keep your keys to yourself, none of this matters.
I think at least part of the difference is that this is a single company that is building, selling and supporting this product. They go out of their way to hold their dominance and not allow for competition and thus improvement of products. The CEO says as much so in his video and in a lot of ways is using safety and control as an excuse for this. Since that is the case, they should own it and provide a product that doesn't randomly lock up as well as have a whole bunch of well documented electrical / construction / design problems.

Imagine that there was only one company that made skis.
I can only assume you've never worked at a company even close to the scale of Amazon. There's no such things as "fixing it" with a lot of these internal tools. They'll often have entire teams dedicated just to developing these tools. More often than not you won't even have access to the source code and even if you did it would probably be incredibly difficult to make any meaningful changes.

You say it would literally be faster to stop feature work and fix the broken thing which is a laughably naive view on how these companies operate. That's just not an option unless you do it all on your own time in which case you will still be incredibly limited on what you can change and even if you make a significant fix there will be no extra reward for doing so. The incentives are all wrong.
I'll take swords for $400, Alex.
Very true! I should have appended this under the algorithmic improvements. This is also a reason ML has exploded. Tensorflow and Pytorch enabled easy GPU usage and so we can spend a lot less time programming and debugging. (even writing CUDA subroutines is easier!) I mean pytorch is basically numpy but with GPU access so it is fantastic for any optimization, even non ml. I haven't played around with JAX but I hear it is better for more statistical stuff because of this.
The question is polite, but the intention behind it isn't. It's a bait rethoric question to throw shade at the whole thing.
> And also, for some reason, I tend to interpret a written message in a much worse way than I do a message that is communicated verbally.

What helps me there is 30 years of Usenet and 10 years of dial-up BBSing before that. Everyone is so nice in Slack.

I did see something that raised my eyebrows once. In some Slack channel totally unrelated to my department, in some discussion about something in modern C++ among people I don't know, I saw the words slung: now you're just being stupid.

I did a double take; like, wow, tell me this comp.lang.c++ moment didn't just happen at work.
What about Sapient?
Yeah the raw data thing is something our team seriously talked about as a "why is an excel sheet more valuable than our product rn?" It's not right, but it gives us an idea of the right direction.

As for value -- yes, this came up a lot and we're aggressively tackling this. Our beachhead is folks who want to make loads of money at a fast-growing startup but don't know how to pick the right one. We're changing a few things in the product to make this more clear + easier to actually do.
I just read a DHH blog on this that seems relevant because it mentions Notion:

From my experience this is exactly what you need to do. You don’t even need to change the app. If your CICD pipeline is already incrementing the build number then just kick off a new build and re-submit that. If you frequently get apps kicked back then add notes to the “how to test section” like “you can test reporting user generated content by doing x, y, z. This is the only user generated content in our app.” It does seem like the “how to test notes” actually get read whereas the appeal notes do not.
thank you SO much for the thoughtful response by the way, our team talked about this one a lot!

Hey, I'm in exactly the same place, including the specific drug. It sucks though how much volatility there can be day to day if I'm not totally on top of taking it early enough, or get a bad sleep. Today my day was frontloaded with meetings, and then I just needed to peace out for a bit and try to get back on track with programming... now. Do you struggle with that as well?

My boss truly doesn't seem to have a concept of some of these bits and I fear I might lose or have to leave my 7th job. There always comes a point where they want to micro manage things, and that just ruins everything.
It is much better than before now. And it's also better than most govt websites.
Where more RAM is available, computers will keep more in RAM. If you remove your RAM leaving 8GB behind, you will find that in cases of limited RAM availability, your browser will most likely offload the "hot" frequently-used-tabs to swap, and data from your other tabs will be discarded, with the page being reloaded when it is switched back to. The margin after which tabs are dropped, so to speak, varies and can differ on different systems.

As I think you have found out, regardless of your RAM, having a lot of tabs open probably won't end up being a smooth experience. However, I think you'd be surprised to find that given less RAM (~8-16GB) your system will probably perform similarly. While it may be necessary for you to have that many tabs open to complete your workflow, most consumers don't need that, and would be able to get by without having to resort to thousands of tabs.

Given a bigger budget, you made the choice to buy more RAM, which is great and I'm sure your system thanks you everyday for it. However, I don't believe that the majority of consumers need to make that investment, or wish to spend the extra money for RAM which they probably won't make full use of.

Tier 1 companies generally hire from tier 1 colleges. Tier 2 and tier 3 college students are either ignored or not able to make it due to lack of quality education.

But those talented students take up any job offer they get (I.e. WITCH). when they get experience, they switch to higher tier companies.

There are many talented folks at WITCH companies, they just don't stay there.

I've noticed a pattern that many people don't use periods at the end of sentences in Slack messages (or text messages, really any short-form communication medium). I also tend to avoid periods during short communications because for some weird reason they come off to me as "harsh" or "abrupt". Almost as if the person has lost patience and is becoming snappy. I don't get that same feeling for longer form communication, but short messages ending in a period definitely come of as "short" to me. I think subconsciously the lack of adding a period is my way of conveying that, "I'm not trying to be short-tempered, and I'm not annoyed. This is just a quick and informal communication with all due respect still intended."
Nothing too innovative. But a hair dryer on hot setting will be very helpful in such a case. :)
