> Block my calendar between 8am-12pm and put "programming" in my status with notifications turned off.

This is the way. I'm not always in a position to be able to do this, but especially if you have a lot of people relying on you, because you manage others or are generally the focal point of a lot of organizational needs, people are simply going to be pinging you constantly. Especially when those are DMs, each individual who reaches out has no idea that you're responding to multiple messages at once. So the only way is to block it out on your calendar and only be available for emergencies. A side benefit of this that I've experienced is that others who are looking for guidance or mentorship, like with programming tasks or whatever, end up being a lot more discriminating in what they reach out and bother you for. That's a benefit not only to you, but to them as well because it forces them to question whether they've been as resourceful and diligent as they could be. Oftentimes, they are able to find the answers on their own, but if you're too easily reached, they may rely on you as a crutch. (It's for this reason that I tell my direct reports that I'm almost always happy to help them work through a problem, but they need first 1) identify what they know and don't know 2) identify what they've tried and haven't 3) be able to articulate the context very clearly and 4) generally take pride in communicating what they need assistance with in a very concise and clear matter. Holding people to that standard helps them because just dotting the i's and crossing the t's often clarifies what the problem is and very often leads them to be able to find a solution themselves)

I have found that people are generally very receptive to and respectful of the time blocking. I've never experienced anyone thinking it is off-putting or otherwise out of bounds. They simply know when you're heads down and only reachable for emergencies and when they can more freely reach out to chat or get help.
Temasek invested $275M into FTX, first statement on writing down investment
Hey there! I used inflow for like a year and liked it, but churned for now. I’ll probably use it again in the future though, it’s a good app. I have no affiliation with the founders aside from meeting them through YC, fwiw.

If it was an ad it wasn’t a very good one, lmao (it was not an ad)
To some extent I agree with you but I think intentionally wild, reckless driving would still exist and need to be controlled even with smarter road design.
The Indian government has, over the years, awarded contracts worth billions of dollars to Infosys for projects like the Goods and Service Tax portal, Income Tax portal. In all these cases, the implementations are slow and super buggy. Deadlines to deliver are routinely missed. In an ideal world, these companies should not be allowed to exist.
Case in point: Russell’s views on Nietzsche.
I'm not going to say what I want about Debian or Redhat, as it could take a while, but I'll say this about Suse: their decision to go whole hog on btrfs so we get root filesystem snapshots on update? Good show.
A friend of mine put his (2) kids in montessori school, he said his daughter she loved going to school every day. When they moved there was no montessori school and the first day in a normal school she came home upset and said the kids don’t care, don’t listen, and they don’t know anything.

Eventually they moved again so they could put her back in montessori school.
I feel like if the author actually uses the app daily, that’s a pretty strong endorsement.
Yes, this is what is silly.

That is not to say it's impossible that we, uniquely, possess the consciousness gene. Possession by demons is technically possible, too, and equally silly.
If I understand you correctly, your sentiment is that humans can stumble upon and solve the most complex problem on the planet?

OpenAI claims to be working on AGI. Nothing they have built is even tangentially related.
It's more than that...

It's not even clear what you are signing up for, and they start asking a bunch of personal questions...

My ADHD brain noped out of there in an overwhelmed browser closing act of defiance! :-)
The environmental argument is huge, though. And there must be some monetary value in being able to sell your product as X% more environmentally friendly?
By this logic they should let you drive drunk until you hit someone too. I think doing things in your car that have substantial and easily preventable risk to other people should not be allowed.
Were Larry and Sergey not considered nice?
It's terrible that you are in this position.

> Add a feature that already exists to our app. How the hell am I suppose to do that... I don't know.

It sounds to me like this was the "correct" answer (from a perspective of "make the problem go away," not how things should be, ofc). Do a refactor of your source code that changes nothing, push updates with release notes saying "Major updates to UCG oversight system," email Anthony asking "him?" to review the updates addressing the problems.
The only chance of him being lionized is if he turns Twitter into a high profit generating enterprise. It doesn’t look like the chance for that is high at the moment.
How did you feel about Dropbox Paper?
It's possible to prove employment at a company without revealing your identity.

But he didn't follow through. That's ok.

People are very passionate about "AI" and disillusionment can be painful.

Many "AI bros" don't understand the technology. But they really want to believe.
I don't know if you consider it cheap, but Costco has plenty of computers available with 3060s and i7-12700s.
Don't trust your business with Linode
And Apple is the same or even worse. Our app is in reviewed for 3 weeks without any contact from apple. Any attempt to contact meet with the standard just wait email. At that point, I don't really know what to do

Considering Apple behavior, I don't know if I should speak out or not, for Apple will ban developer in retaliation
Well it is similar to how "Apple" is a trademark. They don't own the rights of the fruit, obviously, but you can't use the word "Apple" as an electronics (maybe even software) company.

Lol. If the author had really tried to fix the internal tooling by himself in such a top-don huge corp like Amazon, he would've gotten himself laid off much quicker.
Thanks super interesting. In addition to the lack of ethics, it sounds like there was no proof that the methods would even work, and it was a pseudoscience.
Is it though? If that’s necessary why isn’t it necessary to lock someone up while you investigate whether he might be involved in drug dealing, just in case he might be guilty and destroy the evidence?
It would be too bad if it never hits a breakthrough. Current batteries need those expensive metals and are not the safest, not to mention the battery life. SSBs seem like they improve these greatly.
Those things are a billion times less complex than human cognition.

It’s also interesting your remark on birds and planes. Chomsky uses a similar analogy to say they are dissimilar: can a submarine swim? Well, depends on what you mean by swim.
How have I redefined scarcity?

At most I have set the subject being modified to (Pi at MSRP) from what you were operating on, (the Pi, no price included). The conjunction of Pi at a pricepoint, was the endgoal of the engineering process.

Nothing about the meaning of the word scarcity has changed. What you seem to object to is that I don't accept the practice of decoupling the price point from the output as being morally desirable/defensible to have from the original intent of the engineering process. If someone builds a thing and stands by that price point for the express purpose of making that available at that price point, going the ideal market way you suggest is essentially socially parasitic.

They set out to make a $15 bundle of compute. Jerks with automation come along, clear out that unit of compute at $15 and plop it at a price point greatly in excess of the original intent.

I do not hold that one that does so is immune from being called a burden, because they read an economics book once. Your point, if granted, is bollocks. It admits it is perfectly fine to take things priced at cost, and jack the price up sky high despite the fact we nailed the engineering to make it that cheap.

I am not willing to concede that. I'm sorry. Your point is rubbish. Even if most of the market operates that way, we'd almost universally be better off if everyone just stopped doing that.

Left unaddressed, the pattern of behavior siphons capital from those just trying to get by plying a trade, to those looking to capitalize on someone else leaving money on the table.

Which is again, as previously stated, rubbish. If you've got nothing more to say, that's fine. It's just another case of a potential Sinclairism. It being hard to get a man to understand something his livelihood is dependent on them not understanding.

But don't try to say I redefined anything. I most certainly did not.
Everyone’s different. For me, ADHD is like being an RPG class with different “stances” or “modals”.

I can be energetic and fun and charming (allegedly) and very social, quick witted, a natural comedian. Or I can be quiet and focused and studious. But I can never be both at the same time. Concerta is what lets me pick.

I’ve never seen it as a disability because it is an advantage in so many ways. I’m just so thankful I get to control it.
You are refuting an argument I did not in fact make.

Actually, several arguments I didn't make.
I generally agree with that. It should not be glamourized. I liken it to being like Cyclops in the X-Men. Sure you can shoot lasers out of your eyes, but you can never look upon the love of your life naturally and unfiltered.

That being said, some of most cherished achievements would not have been possible without it, and that's where the cognitive dissonance begins.
Well, if they needed an NFT or holiday card photo... There they go
It seems like you didn't even bother to read the linked spec. The result is a bad faith argument on your part where you are choosing to ignore the clearly stated facts. You also ignore the reality of x86 and ARM extension fragmentation.

If you want people to use your chip in an interchangeable way (how ALL desktop processors want to work), then you'll implement RVA22S64 which automatically requires you to support a bunch of extensions.

If you want proprietary or cutting-edge extensions in your chip, feel free, but software developers will be using the spec and your extras will just be ignored and drive up your cost for no real value.

If you violate the specs you claim to support, you are liable for trademark infringement as use of the trademark requires adherence to any standards you claim to be supporting. At most you could claim "RISC-V compatible", but that will just become code for "doesn't work with normal software" and nobody will buy your chips and you'll have wasted a huge sum of R&D money.

This is better than x86 or ARM which you conveniently ignore. x86 for example has some 55 extensions released in the last 20 years. Some like SGX or FMA4 only have support of a small subset of chips. Some have disappeared. Many aren't supported by older chips still commonly in use. ARMv8 has TEN different version PLUS more optional extensions PLUS the ability to add custom instructions. There's also FOUR versions of ARMv9 too (leaving aside the still very popular ARMv6 and v7).

If fragmentation were such a huge problem, then certainly nobody would be using these ISAs. Of course, people use them everywhere which completely disproves your argument.
> How hard is the jump into the realm of computer vision/AI/robotics for someone with strong skills and experience building web applications?

If you are willing to make the jump. It's possible. You have an advantage.

> Is the coding much different?

Not as much as they have marketed you to believe.

> Is a company like this employing math/theroy-heavy people to develop new types of AI or are they working higher up the stack and just need people who can pipe data around?

No. They are not making academic thesis. You'd be surprised how primitive and "basic" many of these companies are (comparing to their marketing videos, which are click/eye baits). You can definitively make a difference there.

Of course, as other comments have mentioned, these companies still need front-end, databases, backend, and you know, normal basic automation scripts like everyone else.
Hopefully you are backing them up now lol.
Just want to offer that at 41 I made a decision to wait until I got married to have sex, as well as no porn or masterbation.

And holy wow, I’ve found myself in the best relationship of my life, with the most beautiful woman ever, and we are having the best “sex” of our lives.

We also knew we wanted to get married on our first date.

It’s been magic.

Anyway, just wanted to share that!

And it’s also not coming from a terrified Christian zombie place of blindly following rules; it just emerged snd surprised both of us.
This was the one project that made me think I should revisit my opinion that “blockchain is a solution in search of a problem”. I thought that the ASX would know better than me what’s needed to build a clearing and settlements platform.

Nope, looks like I was right all along.
Some anchors and a winch and this could be pretty effective. And you could probably automate it, too.
It can feel like a super power at times. But it's one you cannot control. When I was in my teens and early twenties my area of interest happened to align with something which would turn into a very lucrative career. Software development. I couldn't get enough of it. I soaked things up like a sponge and was able to internalize so much that has stuck with me. But once I "figured out" programming, the interest dropped to almost zero. I love solving problems and learning things and there is no way in hell I could participate in most software development teams because the vast majority of programming is little more than typing out previously solved problems. There is no mystery to a CRUD API endpoint. The only time I jump into code these days is to help out with tricky bugs. Diving into an unfamiliar code base to solve a problem others aren't able to checks all of those puzzle solving and learning boxes which gets my attention going again.

I'm not sure about building a business with ADHD. I see that path as extremely difficult unless your super focus happens to align with what your building long enough to get to a point where you can make money off of it. That seems unlikely. Once you're running a successful business, I believe coping with ADHD would be significantly easier. A CEO can delegate the things they are worst at to focus on the thing they are best at and which deliver the most value. The vast majority of individual contributors don't have that option.

ADHD keeps me on the move and has given me a very broad skill set and understanding of many different industries. I've worked in health care with medical devices to building interactive kiosks to writing device firmware to applying AI to livestock management to insurance and banking modernization. In that sense it's a super power. But I still cannot build myself a personal website or blog despite wanting to because that shit is really hard for me.

This doesn't even touch on the damage ADHD can do to relationships. I had a very difficult time connecting with my children when they were babies and toddlers because, let's be honest, they are boring most of the time. This became significantly easier as they got older and we were able to start actually having conversations. There are also times where my inattentiveness gets to the point where I literally cannot pay attention to what my wife is saying. It's a struggle to try to separate my brain from what it's trying to pay attention to and redirect it to her. When I don't see people they basically stop existing. I have no relationship with my parents or siblings and almost no long term friendships because of this. It's extremely easy for me to get disconnected.
I find it highly doubtful anyone would damage their employment prospects by accepting severance and leaving. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere that thought this way.
That doesn’t really cut it when you are dealing with security critical software.

“I like C” won’t sound so good when someone finds an out of bounds exploit on your car update mechanism and manages to load a malicious firmware.
Well yes, the conservative viewpoint is that women should not have bodily autonomy, and contraception and IVF are both that. It’s why pharmacists are allowed to force their religious beliefs on others: it would be a violation of a pharmacist’s religious freedom to require them to do their job if a women comes in for birth control.

This was never about just abortion, every conservative state has taken the position that morning after and birth control pills are also the same as abortion. This is documented fact, and anyone who votes in support of those people, is explicitly stating that they are anti basic women’s rights.
Very good point, one which I admit didn't come to my mind initially.

Any recommendations for good methods or good open source implementations of this that can be mined for ideas?
I agree, and I think it's more harmful coming from successful founders, as so many people naïvely look up to them to provide guidance.

It's even worse than their usual "if I can do it - and I certainly have, just look at how awesome I am - then you can do it" spiel about business success.
For the record I'm not saying you're lying (and I don't think you are). It's kind of analogous to what I said about self-reported past experience in the sense that I would expect (maybe expectation misplaced?) that somebody who has plenty of experience on the hiring side would better understand what happens on that side of the process.

I think your claim that employers are "not desperate" is probably true to some extent, but if you're screening for say 30 candidates, the cost-benefit analysis of spending an hour each looking at their github profiles might not work out unless in the "most desperate" of cases (and if they're desperate to the point where if they can't hire a superstar they'd go out of business, then you wouldn't want to work there anyway).

TBH my belief is that some FAANG or famous school is a better signal than self-reported experience on a CV. You might disagree (and there are reasonable arguments on that side), but at least whether one worked at a particular company or went to a particular school is an objective fact, while things like "built a well-received service with millions of users" can mean very different things. The supposedly rigorous hiring/admission process of FAANG and famous schools can be a useful thing to know because the hiring process could be quite similar, and thus a useful predictor whether a candidate is likely to do well on the hiring game at hand (not necessarily a good employee, that's another question).

I don't think work quality is obvious for those halo effects you mentioned. There's just some fuzzy correlation (about being in FAANG and interviewing performance) that lazy interviewers/managers tend to mistakenly conflate with employment suitability. There are many reasons why hiring tends to be broken, which I'm not going into because it would be a book length thesis in itself, I'm just saying there's no way code quality of your past work would be "obvious" unless somebody actually spent a couple hours reviewing your code. Nobody would do that unless there's some other signal indicating that that might be the case (and in 99% of the cases they wouldn't do it even if the signals are there).

So my point is that if you proceeded with the assumption that it should be obvious to employers that you're employable... maybe that's not a great assumption. I definitely agree that most of the time companies aren't "desperate" to hire -- and TBH you don't want your future employers to be so desperate. If you're not getting offers (and you want to), maybe you'd have to spend a bit more effort advertising yourself instead of relying on potential employers' desperation.
I want to emphasize this opinion. There is definitely survivorship bias, and I dislike people calling it a 'superpower'.

Yes it can make you more reckless and impulsive to take risks like founding a company, but it's important to keep in mind that ADHD is a serious cognitive disability, and we should treat it as that. There is so much it messes with on a daily basis and it absolutely sucks.

So much coping, self-doubt, lack of motivation and drive, procrastination - it's not nice. Yes we get better in managing it over time as we learn about it, but it still comes back and bites us, and it's depressing to see coworkers being so much more organized and 'on top of things' compared to me, no matter how hard I try
For example why most of the value of a todo list is the writing down and ticking off. And tiny todos (fill water bottle) give the same kick as big ones. Now if you understand that the it motivates you to have todo lists, use them and craft them well and build a chain of success.

Having a mental model of why something works for me at least is a big motivator. The laws of thermodynamics don’t help you lose weight but they sure make it clear it is possible (or if your body absolutely cannot burn fat, you die).
You are grossly underestimating the effort it takes to change things at a company this size. Ignoring the scope of the technical work to be done, you cannot just send diffs to another team and expect them to just accept them.

> I'm not even really sure what Google does in open source.

Kubernetes (and a bunch of the offshoots), golang, a bunch of ML things, etc. It's just that many have independent foundations (CNCF) running them now to keep project management independent from a single company.
Market makers on stock exchanges are allowed to naked short with abandon (more leverage than retail). Almeda was a market maker on an exchange that allowed 100x leverage to retail. leverage on margin is a loan. The shocking part is they took on so much leverage and lost, not that they were extended margin like any other market maker or even market participant on ftx.

Really not so different from archilego/ hwang or London metals exchange fiasco or gilt fiasco or oil going negative or cds fiasco or LTCM.
Love lunar! I have my shortcuts/hotkeys configured and it's a breeze to switch between super dim, medium brightness, and full-on-hyper-bright-it's-time-to-crank-some-work-out brightness. Thanks for this great app.

She emailed him from her work account the next morning asking for confirmation that was him. He obviously expected her to write something, but was counting on the typical puff piece treatment he'd become accustomed to.

She also states they were not "friends".
As qrian said – they’re abbreviations.

They’re repeated to cover the different ways typing them might get encoded.

Hangul writing combines all the characters in a syllable into one block. The keywords are the first character in each block.

EG: Safari is 사파리. You’d usually type ㅅㅏㅍㅏㄹㅣ and have the input method combine things according to the 'rules'.

ㅅㅍㄹ breaks the rules, so the IME might end up encoding ㅅㅍㄹ as three blocks, or as one.

No font in the world is going to know how to make ᄉᄑᄅ actually fit in one block, but it’s valid, distinct unicode, and it’ll get treated as one thing for selections and cursor movement.

(Modern Korean has clear rules about what valid syllables there are, but old Korean doesn’t always follow them, so unicode doesn’t enforce it)
