It’s not bad programming if the server has a bigger better model, thus gives better results, and the local model is just a lower quality but smaller portable model.

That said, let my give my HN 2c and say that Google Translate is pretty bad these days. It’s community/user adjustments, for example, are guaranteed to be bad. In Spanish, you instantly know you’re looking at a user “correction” because the translation has no accents. “como estas”. It’s bad in 100% of cases, every time I see that “user verified” symbol.

I think the offline model doesn’t have the user adjustments, but the offline model also seems to be lower quality. Back when I translated a lot, I used to know when my internet was offline mid session because of the difference in translation quality.
The US compares relatively well because, despite having comprehensive education, the system is also designed to segregate schooling areas.

In Europe, bullying is worst in countries with comprehensive systems (UK/Nordics/Eastern Europe, unsurprisingly they are countries that have left-wing education systems built for the social justice goals of adults, not learning outcomes of kids). I believe it is as bad or worse in Asia although for different reasons.

Btw, there are also quite good stats about sexual violence against girls and, unfortunately, you actually see these levels are highest in comprehensive systems in Europe. This is likely due to under-reporting elsewhere but it is very strange to see somewhere like the UK come out worse than Afghanistan in violence against girls. I think people should also ask why this kind of stuff isn't known (again, it is because schools are designed for social justice for adults, not for kids...it is an unfortunate reality of our world).
Real olive oil has specific chemical properties which cause it to be anti-inflammatory, rather than inflammatory.
That's nothing to do with school though, just youth. Kids who get into fights in the summer months away from school aren't sent to jail for it like adults. Being at or away from a school isn't a factor in that difference.

I got diagnosed late as an adult and was on ADHD medication for a year or two. It allowed me to actually get things done in my work and personal life like paying bills on time, making appointments, setting up retirement contributions, and filing work paperwork on time. Being able to sit down with the intent to do something and just... do it... was something I never experienced before. It was very much akin to getting glasses the first time after not knowing you needed glasses.

I did worry the stimulant effects of the medication led to me daydreaming "fanciful" ideas that I questioned whether I would have found as profound if not on it. And my wife felt that it made me "snappy". But otherwise I found it helpful and the benefits well worth the side effects.

Why I ended up going off the medication came down to the inconvenience of filling it monthly culminating in not being able to get it. I don't know if it's like this across the USA or just my state (or just how my doctor's office did it?), but I was required to obtain a handwritten/hand-signed paper prescription chit from my primary care provider every month. I couldn't get 90 days' supply, I couldn't use the Pharmacy drive-thru when filling it, and my wife couldn't pick it up. I had to physically go in the doctor's office and pick up a piece of paper with a scribble on it and physically go in the pharmacy to fill. Even medicated, remembering to do this every month is challenging for a person with ADHD.

It came to a head when my primary care provider hired a new office worker whose job it was to be a middleman between the doctor and managing prescriptions. There ended up being some sort of communication breakdown and my prescription chit wasn't ready, then the doctor was out, then I thought the middleman guy was reassuring me he was going to get it taken care of by Friday, but he was actually telling me I needed to get it taken care of before Friday - something like that. By that time I had run out a couple days before, and as often happens with Murphy's Law, it was going into a long weekend due to a holiday so it would be four days before the doctor was back.

I ended up going through cold-turkey withdrawals which were pretty awful. By the time my doctor's office was open again, I was fed up with everything. I had already gone through the worst of the withdrawals by this point. Instead of restarting the medication I decided why not just finish getting over it and never have to deal with this again.

Even though I don't take ADHD medication anymore, I still feel like the experience of having once been able to know what it's like to be able to sit down and pay bills or get boring work done still helps me. It's harder now, but just knowing that it is possible to do is like the difference between seeking a scientific discovery you don't know if it exists versus trying to engineer an experiment you know what the outcome could/should be.

Hardly. Calling a list 'curated' doesn't make it so. Technically an intern could look at a sort and call it curated. On both app stores the editor's choices and top downloads are all bullshit and/or gamed.

Apps drop their inflated prices for a huge perceived discount to drive downmoads and get to the top of the list.

Editor's choices are supposed to be curated by some anonymous eponymous editor but the apps are just always already popular apps, so another sort by downloads.

I'd not put it past these companies to say they their 'AI'(hate they all use this term) is curating the lists for us, so technically sort by downloads is their curation.

Google play store is worse- the sales tab is always the same scam games, top paid makes no sense, editor's choice is bullshit.

These are big. I'm from the American South, and you are taught to eat until you are full. We should be taught to eat until we are not hungry. Two different things.

Protein is highly satiating and every gram of protein in lieu of fat is a good thing. 4cal/gram vs 9cal/gram

Fiber is highly underdosed in American diet, leading to all sorts of issues over the long run

I am concerned because I have worked with so many people in tech that are on legal speed and I believe that this medicated state of productivity will become the norm in our industry as we continue to lose focus on the aspects of life and work that make us human.

I can attest to both the efficacy of a low-carbohydrate diet and the odd skepticism and judgement that follows it. It's as if some people have so strongly internalized "conventional wisdom" that when their own eyes undermine it, they react to the resulting cognitive dissonance with hostility. The evidence against the past 40 years of official nutrition advice now appears to be overwhelming, but there's still an ugly part of our psychology that wants to punish people socially for dissenting from the opinions of credentialed experts. We're in a strange moment in history when it pays to basically do the opposite of what conventionally credentialed people say --- in a variety of areas.
Allowing websites to get a somewhat accurate count of visitors plus bounce rate helps them to tell how they’re doing. Hopefully, they use that to guide developing a better product/service.

> At SpaceX and now at Twitter, Musk requires employees to be “hardcore.” Contrary to stereotypes about older workers being less capable or unwilling to perform hard work, I was actually up for the challenge. My life has been spent working long days, nights, and weekends, putting in whatever effort was required to get the job done. My wife resided in Northern California while I was based in Los Angeles; with no children at home and very little social life, I often spent seven days a week onsite at SpaceX, putting in 10-12 hours almost daily. I knew no one there who worked more hours than I did. Later, during Covid, I was still working onsite and traveling for business while many other engineers worked remotely. I was quite hardcore.

My personal experience was that Western schooling was much kinder than Asian (Indian) schooling (parent's job had me moving countries every 3 years). Having been a bit of an outsider in both systems (didn't have the years of shared history in Western circles and accent was too American in Asian circles) and extremely timid, while I did initially get bullied in Western schools, it was nowhere near as pervasive, underhanded or nasty as it was in the Asian schools I attended.

In the Western system I could more often rely on just ignoring or complaining to a teacher to result in some action, in the Asian schools I went to, many of the teachers and other parents seemed almost complicit in the bullying (somewhat unsurprisingly, especially the English teachers).

I still remember that on my first day in an Indian school in 4th grade after having gone to school for ~3 years in NY, I had been mocked and called stupid in front of the class by the math teacher for writing out how I answered a problem differently from what had been taught to the rest of the class. Completely ruined me on math for several years because it made me too hesitant to ask questions about fundamental things I didn't understand and as a result I had terrible fundamentals. I only really managed to get over that by spending the entirety of 8th grade self-teaching myself math after school.

The way I like to think of it these days is that Western education made me enjoy learning and helped build up my confidence, while Asian education made me cynical and better at reading people (which isn't a bad thing to me now, but I'd still rather never go through that again).

Of course this is just anecdotal so it doesn't say a lot overall.

That is a false dichotomy. There are choices between "all-out war" and "decades of needless innocent casualties," and pretending otherwise does your argument no favors.

Disrupting by being better, and the market evolving to account for the new method being better, is fine. That is one of the ways we improve over time. Disrupting by killing everything else even if your method is not generally better in the long run is a different proposition entirely.

> Not surprising. Anybody with a life isn't desired by these places.

What does surprise me though is that this fellow seems to be the exemplar of a company lifer, to quote TFA:

"My wife resided in Northern California while I was based in Los Angeles; with no children at home and very little social life, I often spent seven days a week onsite at SpaceX, putting in 10-12 hours almost daily. I knew no one there who worked more hours than I did. Later, during Covid, I was still working onsite and traveling for business while many other engineers worked remotely. I was quite hardcore."

I have had quite a number of professionals tell me I have ADHD - but I do not believe them.

Firstly, I only loosely fit the diagnostic criteria. I am more inclined to think that that which they identify as ADHD is just me being a lazy and impatient asshole - I could probably act differently if I cared enough to try, which I kinda don’t. I can make myself focus myopically on practically anything, which is, as I understand it, contrary to the core facets of ADHD. My life is a garbage fire on a train wreck, but that’s ok, it takes me interesting places.

Which brings me to secondly - I have a problem with even accepting that ADHD exists. So many kids at school would go get diagnosed as ADHD or dyslexic or whatever, when they patently weren’t, so they’d get the extra time and grade bonus in exams. So many other kids would be forcibly diagnosed and drugged, when all that was wrong with them was that they were being bullied. It feels like the psychiatric industry invented a new product to sell, and needed a diagnosis to stick it on. It’s convenient for schools, as you can label and drug anyone who shows any hint of individuality, and likewise for parents, as it allows easier management of vivacious children. For adults, it’s convenient as an explanation for failure to meet one’s own expectations in life.

Me, I just accept that I am a bit of a disappointment - “If madaxe would only apply himself, he would be an exceptionally brilliant pupil”, said everyone, ever - and I do not like to apply myself, as as I said, I am a lazy asshole intent on coasting through life.
