Why? What makes it "natural"?
I've made tons of good friends in online places over the years. Forums, AOL, MMOs, Discord.

Heck I even met my wife through World of Warcraft. All these things are 'repeated' and 'casual' and online. They're not "social media" though (which seems inhumanly anonymous and transactional to me) more like communities built around specific things.
Yes, having major difficulties concentrating on school or work tends to cause anxiety, depression and maladjustment.

Stimulant medications are not a cure, but they do improve quality of life in ADHD patients compared to baseline.
To each their own. I greatly enjoy the flavor of meat, but feel like a serial killer when I think about the animal suffering and to a lesser extend carbon emissions. While I also get a slightly odd feeling in my stomach from Impossible beef (doesn't happen with their cyber chicken), it's a tradeoff I'm excited to make 1-2 a month to get the flavor of a burger without feeling like I just tortured a puppy.
How to set up a successful culture of documentation?
I believe your intuition is correct, and it just straightforwardly does help iron out short term volatility. What it de-risks is the likelihood the bottom arrives some time in the next year, at a point lower than today, and that you could have achieved a significantly lower average entry price by waiting. The risk it exposes you to is that it's already the bottom, and you're going to keep buying in on the recovery. So if you're long term optimistic but short term bearish, but lacking high confidence in your ability to call the bottom, DCA makes sense imho.

I don't know what the conjecture is that would make it not de-risking that, or what a proof would be, maybe GP will clarify.

It should be noted that many analyses of DCA versus lump sum are around the S&P 500 overall. In the case of highly volatile growth stocks or just single stock investing like Fred is discussing in the article, market timing risk is more acute, since the drawdowns are more severe (it is quite rare for the S&P 500 to drop 70-80%).

Shameless plus, I am the owner of a DCA investing app + a simulator tool to backtest DCA with different stocks, over different time periods

This is why, although I can see my work benefiting from AI tremendously a bit further down the line, I don’t feel like it’s a good use of my time to learn to write prompts right now.

Things are changing so fast it feels better to just wait until we’re no longer in this phase of having to relearn the tool constantly. In other tech getting in early is important to keep up - with AI generators, I feel the promise is that as the tech gets better, you’ll need to know less and less to use it .
Make them write anything gradable in-person, while being monitored by a teacher.

Cheaters gonna cheat, no matter what. This will at least get the group back to pre-conversational AI standards.
I don’t think that I agree. The two folks that I consider to be my BFF’s recently helped me (and my wife) through a difficult time. Each had a specific set of skills and were able to offer support and help in ways that my family wasn’t.

Cancer and cancer treatment was a bitch. The importance of friends (and family) became evident to me during that time. YMMV I guess.
Thinking logically, tunnel boring machines not being electrified is stupid design decision. They are in half done tunnel circulating air in such environment for combustion is rather stupid.

My dude yes! Of course you missed it.

Just like sleeping with the prom queen, becomming a wonderchild, being a kid on star trek and maaaany more things that where on the way.

But that is okay and there are still plenty of experiences left for you and even though you might not have done so actively, you choose your activities.

Ignore the other doomers though, life is still far from done and who knows, maybe your actual calling is having an emu farm in the middle of Kansas.

Just trust in yourself that you have skills to put bread on the table and realize that EVERYBODY is just cooking with water and you can cry just the same in a Mercedes that you can in a tata nano
Having been through due diligence with several top VC funds (Softbank Vision Fund and others) I would say that due diligence generally focusses in on a few key areas which are crucial to the upside and risk factors in the specific business. For example, is the financial model broadly accurate (ie there’s nothing in the finances that would cause the investment hypothesis not to work out), if they’re a software or saas company, do they own their software or are they exposed to IP litigation risks etc[1], what’s the cyber risk like, etc. Then they will deep dive on anything that gives them a spidey sense tingle during that first phase. It’s not a general seal of approval of all the controls in the company, they know for a startup you’re building the plane while you’re trying to fly it, they don’t expect perfection they just want the plane not to crash into the mountain before they hit their exit.

On that basis, the FTX thing is kind of baffling because the financial controls would seem to be core to the thesis. Having read some of the things sequoia said about their original meetings with SBF it seems they were dazzled by him personally and allowed their greed to overcome basic prudence.

[1] So for example for SVF I had to go through all the transitive dependencies of all our software (which for JS and python is generally a lot), check the licenses and actually track down authors of a few packages in the node ecosystem and ask the authors to explicitly license their software so we knew we had a right to “depend” on it.

We had S-Expressions before we had JSON. (And JavaScript originally wanted to be a Lisp, too.)

It's not that we had XML and SGML and XDR because nobody had invented something as simple as JSON, yet. The real reasons are some complicated social hodgepodge that made those complicated beasts more accepted than the already-invented simpler approaches.
> that the raise in rates causes a 0% drop in occupancy.

Housing demand isn't really that inelastic. People will move to less crowded cities if they become too expensive. Americans tend to have much more living space per capita than most of the world, so there is a lot of room to move in with roommates or family.

> all of your competitors collude to also raise their rates similarly.

Realpage doesn't control the prices for the majority of housing in the US, the majority of rental units in the US, or even the majority of multifamily rental units in the US. If they tried to facilitate collusion, their customers would simply lose money.

There's a good chance that your gut microbiome forgot about meat which is why you have the problem.

It's a well known story I've heard of vegetarians going back to eating meat and then getting sick from the meat for some time. This is also why eating foods you're not used to can often make you sick even if they're fine. Your gut microbiome adapts to your diet, and if you suddenly change what you eat you can get indigestion.

From my understanding the beyond/etc "meat" acts like real meat to your body microbiome because it's so similiar.
Has anyone tested this?

Is Office(CurrentYear) easier to use than 1997?
Not true. I currently own one unit, and do have a slightly negative cashflow, but that's not really a problem.

The biggest advantage of real estate is that enables you to hedge your capital. My bank happily gave me a loan for 80% of the property value.

I would not be able to get a loan at these conditions without having the real estate as collateral.

So, while I do pay a small amount per month myself (which has gone down substantially recently due to 10% indexation), my tenant pays the biggest share of my loan.

As for rules and legislative obligations: I pay a professional organization to manage this for me. This does come at a cost, but it buys me a peace of mind. (It's all about risk vs reward, so no big surprise there.)

And finally: once the loan is finished, I can hedge that rental income to finance (multiple) new properties.

Update: one additional remark for those who might be triggered by this comment: I prefer to buy older buildings, so I have to make sure that l have "some" extra cash available for big ticket items coming my way: replacement of roofs, elevators and such. So I am betting on having to invest some extra cash over the course of one or more decades. However, if you do not want to do that, you can reduce the risk by going for newly-built, paying the extra premium upfront, have a reasonably steady cash flow from the start.

Also, as a rule of thumb, consider 10/12 of the yearly rent as a "regular" income. This should be more than enough to cover the "normal" expenses you might have.

Such a compact resource usage in WebAssembly.

I am seeing about 50-60MB resource usage which is fantastic considering that includes pandas, numpy, sklearn and some other non standard modules.

By comparison when I tried to package a hello world pandas project with PyInstaller the single file exe for Windows came out to 500MB.
But this one is going to be Advanced.
My dearest factoid about that is what China is in Group III in UPU terminal dues list.
You see it a lot because there has been extensive empirical research that led to this conclusion, which does get summarized in discussions to a point where nuances have been lost. If you earn a really low wage, a little bit of extra money buys a lot of happiness. If you earn quite decent, there's a point it doesn't buy more happiness at all.

For C-suites I imagine money is more of a symbol for power and prestige, though I know little about it.

And yes, everybody is unique and all that, but also probably not as special as they like to think. Social research is never generalizable to a point where you can say: all people are like this or that, nor does it have to be to make an interesting point. I also didn't qualify the statement in that way, because I don't know the numbers by heart. But I remember reading from the actual research that there was a large difference in what motivates people (it was not equal as you seem the suggest) and salary was quite low on the list.
Don't use messengers that ask for your phone number and aren't end-to-end encrypted.

Use services that store as little data as possible.

If data is stored, it can be given away and I would assume that it will be given away.

Telegram disguises itself as encrypted chat app, when it is actually just a regular centralized plaintext messenger that has an encryption feature that nobody uses.
Hey, this is completely separate from your current conversation, but I just saw your post here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8869890#8870443) from a couple of years ago.

I love the logo. I've been using the glider for years, but just learned about Eric Raymond's racist tirades and the like, and was looking for something to replace it with.

If its okay with you, I'll change it up a little bit (maybe change the color or etc), and use it for my personal projects?

I would have replied on the linked comment above, but its so old replies are turned off. Hope your hackerspace is still going strong : )

I bought a pound of the "ground beef" to try it out. Pretty sure it was Beyond beef, but I'll be goddamned if it didn't smell and taste like cat food when I opened up the package. It was fucking revolting, and totally ruined the dish I was making.

There must be some special way to prepare it to make it taste good. There's no way I'll take this stuff and make burger patties out of it just like I would regular ground beef.

I'm not the only one either, do a search for "beyond smells like..." and look at the autocomplete results.

> we all know that Musk has never in his life used a regular city Bus or even a train

I’m skeptical, and this CNBC article quotes Elon refuting it:

I'm not sure there are actually any predictions in this article. To sum it up, in the future, transistors will be smaller, more power efficient, they may or may not use differnt materials, and the technology may or may not already exist in the lab.

AFAIK there is no subsidizing of the beef industry in the US directly. There is subsidies for the sales of common feed plant crops and that's an indirect subsidy for growing beef, but that also applies burgers made directly from plants.

It was never about holding museums accountable for taking donations from the fossil fuel industry. That doesn't even make sense. If a fossil fuel company is giving the museum money and not the other way around, those donations are making the fossil fuel company less profitable. Therefore they are helping the environment.

IMO the problem with these protests is that the relationship between the action they are taking and the goal they want to achieve is not clear. It is getting into "toddler having a temper tantrum" territory. At best, it's purely performative.
While restrictions exist in both stores, it's (currently) far less important to appear on the Google Play Store.

There are apps violating Google's content guidelines that you can usually just sideload. Those often even bring their own update mechanism. ...if you don't like that, there's full alternative stores as well.

Apple App Store restrictions are exceptionally bad because it's the only way to get the app on the phone. The gatekeeping makes denying an app access to the store much more consequential.
Yes, I think it was a requirement that both ends of a wire were at the same level on the pin. So you might have an additional top-level wire but you wouldn't end up with a long dependency chain.

I should also mention that the original (non-field) wire wrapping was done with an automated machine, the Gardner-Denver Automatic Wire-Wrap Machine. It had X-Y carriages with wire-wrap tools and it wire-wrapped the backplane according to a deck of punch cards.

> a circular flow

This isn't just crypto, this is a fundamental strategy for most VC funds. The most valuable VC funds select portfolio companies based on whether they will succeed at selling to each other. This shows a growth multiple that is used to position the company for raising funding from the next sucker VC. That VC then "introduces" their portfolio company to their other portfolio companies, in continuum, until exit. Eventually the public market understands that the growth multiple is a house of cards and the stock tanks. But the VC is happy because they took their exit, the government is happy because these companies collectively employ hundreds of thousands if not millions of people who pay above-average tax rates, and even institutional investors are happy so long as the stocks tank individually and not in concert, making little difference to their overall portfolio. So the practice continues.
Let’s see what we know:

1. Raw materials are cheap
2. Expensive end product
3. Company is losing money

The most straightforward explanation is that the processing is expensive in some way, unless I’m missing something here. I feel like the burden of proof should be on you to establish that the straightforward explanation is not accurate beyond just a claim.
> Don't use messengers that ask for your phone number and aren't end-to-end encrypted.

Don't use messengers that ask for your phone number. Period.
You mentioned a ton of things that change (which, sure, they do, after all it would be weird if, after processing when things taste differently, nothing would have changed), you did not make the causal link to things changing in a way that is detrimental to health.

Just because it changes doesn’t mean it‘s bad.

Even your only point where one could argue that there is a potential obvious negative health effect (the vitamins) is only an issue if there are actual vitamin deficiencies that matter.
You won’t get a million per year from my revenue since I’ve built it and I’ll still be there come hell or fire; but you can get 10% at the beginning and I don’t hesitate to increase employees as they maintain the existing one or contribute to increasing the revenue. In fact I generally give them more than they contribute, and I’ve increased my employees 30% this year in average, unprompted.

But there is always this HN comment with, no matter how much you pay, they put exclamation marks about how little the compensations are in France and how 35hrs is too long or having to be in office a few days a week is the bane of their existence. I’m always wondering whether we’re unionized here, it looks like a systematic complaint, no matter the conditions.

Well, I don’t know, create your own company I guess.
You don't see meat eaters trying to make their broccoli taste like hamburger patties.

Vegetables are supposed to taste like vegetables. They're good without needing to be processed. Nobody wants to buy uncanny valley meat substitute, except as a novelty. And novelty business models work, but these guys misread their market and thought it could be a daily meat replacement, for a group of people that don't eat meat, or a group of people that eat real meat, not the fake stuff. Of course they failed.

I generated several more responses to the same prompt as I mentioned above. They were all funny, not just a select few. Here's another the model came up with. I have to admit I found the apparent creativity hilarious.

Response:

"What are you doing here?" I asked it.

"I'm waiting for you," it replied.

"Oh," I said. "Well then, let's get this party started."

And so we did.

> This is done as cheap as possible because a fair amount of tenants are radioactive and will destroy everything not nailed down.

The other way of phrasing this is that landlords are as cheap as possible, resulting in tenants who are fed up of being fleeced for garbage.
> I also lost a lot of money gambling but have since quit.

From your title I was going to guess you had a gambling problem, it's interesting you mentioned it. The two are related and you know.

Can't help with how to fix it, but perhaps identifying the relationship helps.

> Now many of them are leading very successful startups that I could've likely been an early employee at.

I'd guess you are only looking at the wins you missed, not the losses you also have missed. And by win, even in the right company you might have left early. When do you pull out of bitcoin, when it doubles to $4? This is all related to how you view the world. This won't help you, but perhaps it's something you can work with someone on.

Go check out Gamblers Anonymous. Not sure how you overcame your gambling but if you haven't been it might help. And at minimum it'll be interesting.
But is the output of stable diffusion actually art, or is it just a mimicry of artsy information? Does it have compositional value, or an original idea? Couldn't you make an argument that stable-diffusion-imagery is in the most original of senses derivative (while not explicitly trying to be derivative, like e.g. Warhol)?

Sure, there will be people pinning prizes on particularly pretty output of stable diffusion results, and some people may even hang it on their walls - but that is not really indicative of artistical achievement (just consider how many "live, laugh, love"-variations are plastered over walls everywhere).

Not exclusively, of course, but the degree of processing of food greatly influences our body’s insulin response, which can over time have huge impacts on health (leading to fatty liver disease / metabolic syndrome / obesity / diabetes). This is why, for instance, fruit juice is so much worse for us than the whole fruit — most of the fiber is removed which would otherwise slow down digestion and temper insulin response. For more info I’d highly recommend Jason Fung’s Obesity Code book — he’s a nephrologist specializing in diabetes treatment.
Here I thought I was the only person who did that.
> Our desire to abandon the waterfall model and opt for iterative design fortunately followed similar efforts in other areas of the company, so we had concrete examples of its benefits and feasibility.
