This mirrors my experience. All I've really been able to say is ice on a pulled muscle dulls the pain. I also researched it and never found good evidence supporting it. I also haven't great evidence supporting foam rolling or stretching to relieve muscle pain.
If I give you a function that I want you to deploy to a lambda. Can you do this with a pure JS library?

No. Pulumi can do it but they have a compiler in the background. And you still need a lot of boilerplate devops stuff around it.

So if you already need a compiler to do the packaging, etc. why stop there. A lot of other tooling problems go away.

But yes, you'll be reinventing the wheel to some portion.

It can be done. I did it. In my mid 40s I developed a chronic illness that rendered me unable to work for a few years. It bankrupted me and sank my career before I found the right doctor and started rebuilding. I had to more or less start over from nothing.

The life I've had since then is not the one I thought I was going to have. For one thing, I have a lot less money than I thought I was going to have. My professional career went in a very different direction from what I expected. My hobbies changed drastically. My circle of friends changed, too.

Still, in many ways I think the life I have now is better than the one I was building before. I miss some things, but I'm happier with this one than the one I had before.

So don't give up. Your best days may well be ahead of you.

Get some professional help. It sounds like you're going to need to travel to do it, but try. A good therapist will teach you skills you can use to help yourself. Of course, it's then up to you to actually use them.

Until then, train your attention to focus on things that help you instead of things that hurt you. It's hard to change what you habitually think about, but it can be done. Our minds want to wander back to familiar thoughts, especially ones with a lot of emotional power, but you can persist. You can keep turning your attention to more constructive things, and it will gradually get easier to do. Just don't give up when it doesn't get instantly better. It takes time and persistence.

Telling yourself things like "I'm past my prime", "It's too late," "I let life pass me by" can't help you, but they can hurt you. So use your attention differently. Focus on what's in right front of you, not on what's behind you. Focus on what you can do, not on what you can't do. Measure your life by what you think is worth doing for its own sake, not by comparing yourself to imaginary outcomes.

Choose things to do that you respect, and do them because you respect them. Don't worry too much about the outcomes; those are mostly out of your hands, anyway. Just keep your attention on things that you respect and believe in.

When you do, sometimes what you do will help other people. Sometimes those people will want to return the favor. Sometimes those returned favors will turn into friendships. Sometimes your friends will help you.

It worked for me. It might work for you. I wish you the best of luck.

What's stopping the kid from making a new account though? Knowing myself, I did similar things as a child especially since my parents were not very tech literate.
A distant cousin of mine from India was in the same boat. He was a Mechanical Engineer from Osmania University in Hyderabad. In the early 2000s he came to Silicon Valley and was employed by Intel. He made a little money and bought a condo, he then joined a startup. Unfortunately the startup folded and he lost his health insurance. At the same time he developed some kidney issues and had to go on dialysis. His family convinced him to return to India so they could care for him.

He really languished there for a decade. His health is a bit better as he received a kidney transplant, but its far from ideal. He has many complications. He also missed out on almost 15 years of career progress due to his medical issues.

Also, India is very prejudiced against men with health issues so he could not find a wife through the traditional arranged marriage route (it didn't help that he was unemployed).

He sank into depression. When I visited him in 2016 I was really worried about him. He would not pick up the phone when I called. I started to write him letters ... he only answered maybe one in 10 letters. But I kept writing to him. I would send him books, and snippets of information on interesting projects I thought he would like.

He was interested in self-driving cars many many years before they became mainstream ... so I offered to pay for him to attend the Udacity class on the topic a few years ago. He started the class but never finished it. I didn't mind that he didn't finish it, but since the course was quite expensive he was filled with shame and wouldn't speak to me.

Finally, almost miraculously, something changed in him over Covid. You would think that in the isolation he would get worse, but he actually began to reconnect with his friends and family in the USA over Zoom starting in 2020. In late 2020 he started working on some open source projects in image recognition and some related math libraries.

From that work he got contract work. Its nothing huge, but its enough to pay his expenses in India and build some savings. He is really enjoying working remotely for a team in the USA. They offered him a fulltime job in Minneapolis, but due to his health and not knowing anyone in Minneapolis, he decided to remain remote and work from India. But his mood is palpably better now.

I don't know if its a turn around story ... but maybe the beginning of one?
"Be the change you want to see in the world" is often used in a political or societal context. But it's the personal application of this idea that I find more interesting.

The hard part is understanding want you want. If you have nobody to talk to, you can write down your thoughts (writing down dreams can work wonders for understanding oneself).

I think having a clear idea of what you want gives you a better understanding of your life, and will help you to move to action. If you want to change your life, (and it sounds like you do,) you'll need to act.

Start asking yourself: "what do I want to do right now?" Answer truthfully and then act on it, it's the best advice I can give you.

Politicians are subservient to the entities that fund them, and in Australia?

> "Coal is mined in every state of Australia. The largest black coal resources occur in Queensland and New South Wales. About 70% of coal mined in Australia is exported, mostly to eastern Asia, and of the balance most is used in electricity generation. In 2019-20 Australia exported 390 Mt of coal (177 Mt metallurgical coal and 213 Mt thermal coal) and was the world's largest exporter of metallurgical coal and second largest exporter of thermal coal."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_in_Australia

The fact that Australia has been experiencing severe climate-change-related whipsaws from extreme flooding to extreme drought and fire hasn't changed this dynamic, as the Australian government cheerfully reports:

> "Coal export volumes have grown at an average annual rate of 2.5 per cent from 285 Mt in 2010–11 to 363 Mt in 2020–21... In 2020, Australia held 14 per cent of the world’s coal reserves (black and brown), ranking third behind the United States (23 per cent) and Russia (15 per cent)."

It's the same in the USA, although here we have two fossil-fuel-owned parties, Dems and Reps, but the former lie about their climate agenda while the latter are honest about it. In reality, both are owned by Wall Street interests who invest heavily in fossil fuels.

At least they could be honest about the science, instead of trying to hide the reality.

Ask HN: What's the Deal with Vast.ai?
I'm intrigued by vast.ai from a client and host perspective.

As a client (renting GPUs) I've found it to be pretty unreliable. I've tried renting GPUs a handful of times and hosts, bandwidth, and performance are all over the place compared to what's listed in the console. I suspect people are gaming the host benchmarks somehow. Additionally, even when using on-demand instances the reliability is nowhere near what's reflected by the reliability/uptime metrics reported in the console.

While they've done a pretty good job considering with their software stack it's still kind of a pain to use with significant limitations and multiple hoops to jump through compared to say a GCP/AWS GPU instance.

That said, there are stories of people using vast.ai successfully so maybe I've just had incredibly bad luck?

From a hosting standpoint I can't figure out the economics/opportunity:

Median pricing in the US for a verified RTX 3090 is $0.38/hr. Let's assume total capex is $2000 (likely much higher looking at reported hardware configs).

Assuming US national average electricity costs of $0.15/kWh and hardware being under fairly high utilization you're probably looking at 500 watt load. Let's assume costs like bandwidth, etc are baked in because it's hosted on a circuit you'd be paying for anyway.

So ongoing operational cost (power) is $0.07 (rounding down). Vast.ai takes 25% of listed pricing. Basic math for this theoretical host:

Rental fee (median): $0.38/hr

Less vast.ai take: $0.29/hr

Less power cost: $0.22/hr

Less taxes (they ask for SSN/EIN so I assume income reporting) at effective (low) tax rate of 10%: $0.20/hr

Absolute best case monthly income assuming full usage with 730 hours/mo: $146

Yearly income: $1752

ROI for hardware capex: 14 months

The numbers for A100 PCIe rental are much worse - median rental cost of $0.79/hr with a $15k card. You're never making money on that...

I assume most of the hosts are fairly technical and their time is relatively valuable (imagine a random tech consultant that makes $75/hr). If you consider this side gig "work" and spend an hour a month dealing it (even controlled maintenance, etc) your monthly income drops in half relative to your ability for billable time (opportunity cost).

In the case of sharing an internet connection for a remote worker/home host without fairly advanced QoS bandwidth bursts could absolutely wreck the usability of your internet connection. Your fans will be screaming anytime you're actually "making" money, dumping hot air in your environment, potentially increasing air conditioning power costs, etc.

PLUS now you have random internet users on your internet connection (and potentially LAN!) which opens up all kinds of security/legal issues.

How can this possibly be worth it?

Is this just desperation because of the collapse in cryptocurrency mining? What about the A100s, etc listed that no one in their right mind would have bought for cryptocurrency mining? Is this another Uber/Doordash/gig economy case of people not fully understanding the economics, risks, etc? Maybe some kind of arbitrage?

Backblaze B2 makes sense for large libraries over a few TB, but for 2TB... even Google One with 2TB of storage for Google Drive outcompetes them on pricing. For $99/yr of 2TB of storage, you end up saving $140 per year over Backblaze B2 and rclone is an amazing third-party client, or if you prefer regular snapshot backups then you can use restic.

I'm also going to argue the definition of "stolen" artifacts

A lot of the artifact in the area where lifted from scavenger and sold on the black market, trough the inaction of the government at the time and corruption of officials of such government.

Given such context I see the artifacts at the British museum retrieved under these specific circumstances as saved, not stolen.

I do make a difference however for these artifacts that were taken at gun point against the will of the government.

The difference need to be made on a case by case basis. But still.

Okay, but you're now moving away from "How could people not know to make backups???" to "This problem could in principle be avoided by people who use specific types of backup software and maintain complete snapshots going back at least five years". Still a good idea, certainly, but it feels like we've moved well out of "holy shit" territory. (Also, isn't Apple's own built-in Time Machine exactly the sort of backup that you're talking about here?)

As for carefully monitoring your backup software to keep track of when files change, 1) I think we're getting even farther into the "not reasonable to expect of ordinary users" range here, and 2) if I did somehow happen to notice that a bunch of music files had changed, I'd be a lot more likely to assume that Apple Music had updated their ID3 tags than that it had completely rewritten the music!
Many of those are not standard functions (or were not, until very recently). You have to implement it somehow, so having a ready-made collection that also performs well is very nice to have.
I don’t think that juice is worth the squeeze.

Besides, imagine whatever laws you think would help here and now imagine a toxic actor making it their life mission to provoke everyone on your forum but without breaking your imagined rules. You’re back where you started but now you have overreaching laws.
If you're looking for a monitor with responsive software avoid the Gigabyte M28U like the plague.
Sure it's got 4k 144hz and when that works it's visually great.
However, monitor sleep/wake or any other funcitonaly such as switching inputs had been a nightmare to the point that the most effective way to switch inputs quickly is to turn it off and on.
At this point I'm really considering selling it for something with better software.
I would advise you to deliver your incredible goodwill to a non-profit organization which actually values it instead of working on something for banks :)

The rotten, soulless entities that is banks do not deserve ANY free work.

They don't care about you, they won't value you work, they won't give anything back.

They'll use it to maximize their profits at best.

But most likely, they won't do anything: With absolute certainty, they KNOW that PDFs can be signed. They have to deal with cryptography anyway, and have security consulting.

They very likely intentionally decided to not sign PDFs anyway just because they can get away with it without getting sued, and save money by that.

I think the fact that there's no bacteria remaining is the point, since food preservation was a real issue then.

Aren't there autocatalytic oxidation reactions? There might be flavor effects from always having a pool of those ready to oxidize new ingredients.
Yes this one is comically bad. The description is even worse: "Your body knows best. Avoid unnecessary passive treatments and medical investigations and let nature play its role."

I think you meant “stopping people cheating isn’t going to change that”.

In my friendly/complementary rebuttal, the catch lies somewhere in the phase of learning foundational material. In the same way that traditional mathematics education emphasizes doing problems by hand that could be solved computer, there’s something to be said for learning to parse the research material that ChatGPT has indexed when you’re writing a term paper. It’s worth noting here that math education may be moving away from the rote memorization and routine problem solving that today’s math researchers state are essential.

ChatGPT has made it much harder to detect cheating on untimed power tests. The biggest downside I see to this is that it makes an old problem worse. If a prof has no choice but to administer a non-computer (proctored) timed exam, students who take tests slowly or have anxiety disorders are going to suffer.

The answer is of course, yes. A few anecdotes:

- My father had me at age 44. Moved the same year into their first home, and he got a new break with a small business loan to start what would become a then famous restaurant for his generation.

- My good friend and godfather to my son is living his best life now about to enter his 50s. He started a PhD program in his late 30s, and was going into his 40s with Covid upheaving all the universities unsure if he was going to make it. He preserved and received tenure.

- Our pastor at age 58 was a deacon for decades, unsure if he would ever get to realize his dream of becoming a minister. He devoted most of his entire life to this cause. Most recently, he was traveling 3-4 hours to help our community with services, and because of his dedication was noticed by our bishop and was elevated to the priesthood for a new parish community, something unheard of if you know how these things work. At age 60 he now lives in a new place in a new home with a new job, and is thriving.

The key strand in all of this was faith, hope, and perseverance (not necessarily in that order). I have been depressed. Most of my family are. Try to therapy if you can. Even if you don't "believe in it" simply having someone there to talk to can help you work through those thoughts you are having. What I learned is to be more forgiving with myself. You can feel depressed. It's ok. So many people do. It's unfortunately now a normal part of this broken world. But refuse to let it conquer you. Stand up to it. Battle it. Create yourself a mental advocate to fire back at those dark thoughts. Even if you think it' silly, then do it for silliness sake. Don't let those dark thoughts control you. Preservere. Keep the faith. Put one foot in front of the other, even if it seems pointless, even if it seems all for naught. Fortune favors those who try.

You seem to know what the first step is. Take it. Come back to the states. Get involved in a community. There are so many here. Go out on a limb, try a place you never would think to go. If you feel like you are at the bottom, then you only have everything to gain.

Wishing you the best, and praying for you.
>Then they would face a world of strangers and uncertain social groupings—intensely stressful to old chimps with established conspecific and human families.

It seems like we do this to humans all the time and don't batt an eye. I'm not saying we should not extend this courtesy to chimps but it seems like there's more care taken here for these chimps than we give to humans.

"Not to be lost in the shuffle of comments, this users seems useful:

If you turn off Sync Library in the Apple Music settings then plug into iTunes and sync there again then all that data will come back.

Sync library is basically asking them to do exactly what you described so it is more available across all devices without having to use iTunes

If you end your subscription then it does delete that data that was being streamed like created playlists which is main complaint of missing music

(Pardon my insensitive language — this is my way of coping).

A few years ago while casually wandering YouTube I stumbled across a video [1] of a young girl explaining that her cancer is at a point of no return.

Her name is Sophia Gall and she's from Australia.

Apparently, she had cancer previously and underwent treatment. Unfortunately the cancer recurred.

In the video she's pretty much scared, crying and hopeless.

She did mention she'll be traveling around. Eventually, there were videos of her from Paris and a few other places. She seemed pretty cheerful then.

Months — maybe a year — later I remembered her and seeked her YouTube channel. From the comments on her latest video that was released several months before, I learnt that she passed away.

In her last few videos, apart from the physical pain she was surprisingly composed. Like, she had accepted her fate.

I don't know why I said all that here. That whole thing about Sophia had thoroughly moved me.

[1] https://youtu.be/yWiIyvQaNiQ

(While searching for her video, I discovered that there's a whole bunch of youtubers with cancer.)
