Therein lies the rub. It depends a lot on the person. There are tons of tenured professors who kick back and don't do much, and then there are those who can't help but keep working hard. I think the hope is that you will luck into getting some of the latter in your group, so even if training the others might end up a waste, some will end up successful. Kind of like the VC model.
I just replied to OP too. Skiing in SLC is also ridiculous. Hotel is 500 a night and ski lift tickets start at 142. lmao.
Their long history of corruption compared to all the non-corrupt things they have done?
Space heater, 20 bucks. In the past I chose to heat the bedroom a little on cold days and otherwise suck it up and dress while shivering (no point burning a ton of gas to heat an entire bedroom). Now, I use 1.5 kW for ~3 minutes (0.01 kWh) to have hot air be blown on me while getting dressed in the morning.

Because it changes how warm I feel while going downstairs, I also don't need downstairs to be as warm to get warmed up again. I'm already warm and can sit in a normal temperature room to work.

Air purifier (40 bucks on offer I think). We got it for unrelated reasons, it didn't help for that. Unexpected uses:

1. Neighbours' smoke occasionally comes into our apartment somehow and now I can do something about it. Before, I would just suck it up and try to convince myself that the little residue coming through whatever wall isn't going to impact my health.

2. This winter, people seem to like to heat the house with whatever old painted glued rotting wood they can find (or maybe also dead bodies, it's hard to tell). I can wait a few hours, but if it doesn't clear up and I want some fresh air before sleeping then what I do is open the bedroom window wide for a few minutes to replace the air, doors closed, then close window and turn on purifier on high for 30+ minutes, and then go back in there to sleep.
I have very much not noticed this. People are holding doors as much as or more than ever where I live in a suburb of Dallas, Texas.

Driving seemed to be worse initially post-pandemic, but I think it has gone back to the normal pre-pandemic levels of bad now.
I've had good luck using ebay and importing to the US from the UK and EU. Search for the Aiwa brand as opposed to Sony, because they're slightly less collectible/expensive, but are every bit as high quality and sound great. YMMV. I've bought two over the last six months.
The architecture of web applications has changed a lot as the infrastructure evolves. Over the last decade, with the trend of migrating infrastructure from private data centers to a public cloud, increasing number of monolithic architectures have been replaced by microservice architectures.

Considering apps may not share the same computational space when it comes to the cloud, it's inevitable that local function invocations in monolithic apps have been replaced by other remote communication protocols, like REST APIs or RPC calls.

Such synchronous request-response pattern generally works well, but sometimes it doesn't. For example, in a chain of synchronous requests and responses, service A calls service B, service B calls service C, and calls go on. If each service needs 500ms to handle its business and there are 5 services in the chain, then you have to set the timeout of service A as 2500ms, while the service B needs 2000ms and 500ms for the last service in the chain.

In this article ：https://www.vanus.dev/blog/2023/01/04/event-driven-architect..., we will introduce an alternative communication pattern (Event Driven Architecture) which enables asynchronous communication to avoid synchronous request chains. Then dive into the concepts of event-driven architecture and how you can better build it in the next generation cloud computing - Serverless computing.
It's dangerous. Just obey the standard right of way rules. I've had people try to wave me into their blindspot and certain death from a car coming 60mph in the lane next to them.

The original hardware prevented it in the sense it's impossible to push both the left and right button at the same time on the Gameboy dpad, not through any software means.
I don't like being tied to one company's peripherals. The best solution I've found to this is to use a keyboard with firmware that instantly switches between bluetooth and wired (I use an M60 python keyboard). That way I can use a key combination to switch. I also just use two different mice, since they are small.

I've tried a few software solutions over the years but they all seem to run into issues eventually.
That was one idea tossed out, but there isn’t a cellphone network coverage in most areas covered by this network.

Suggesting it’s useful in places that overlapped ignores the utility in areas where it would be the only option. I doubt drug dealers are meeting up in the desert outside of cellphone range with their suppliers, but it isn’t a crazy idea.
Typically, yes, a student in fourth grade learning multiplication isn't allowed to use a calculator. We tend to assume that you need to be able to do something by hand first so you have an intuition for what a right answer looks like. Only then can you use the machine to speed up the process.
I think we really need to get on integrating technology like this into a curriculum which does build critical thinking and problem solving skills, since these kids are already inundated with AI generated content and it seems certain to increase several fold over the next few years.

You have to be careful drawing conclusions about output buffering when you're using this kind of stdout redirection tool. The stdio library changes its buffering behavior depending on what stdout is connected to. For example, if stdout is a file, the stream is fully buffered, but if it's a tty, the stream is line buffered. I don't know what it does if stdout is a pipe.

> Isn't this fundamentally saying, "The cost of not infringing copyright is massive, so we will glibly infringe!"

Copyright is not a natural human right; it's a construct invented and conferred by governments in order to achieve certain objectives. (It's more like a state license than a right, to be honest; using "right" was a historical masterstroke from the original inventors).

As such, if those objectives can be provably achieved in a better way without copyright (or rather cutting copyright a bit smaller), there might well be a case for foregoing punishment.

It's an exceptionally-hard argument to make, but it's not illogical.
Yes they’re just often non-union schools, which is why the teachers unions don’t like them.
More importantly the lack of teachers. My daughter's math teacher quit and they haven't found a replacement, just an assistant that tells them to do rote exercises each day.

Her previous school's teacher was fired for something sketchy but they're brining him back.

I took this even further, put air purifiers in most rooms and hooked them up to air quality sensors.

Mostly they run on the very quiet setting (or not at all), but they’ll automatically spin up if someone cooks, farts, opens a window or hits a vape pen.
FWIW. You'll likely never stop doing this, so the best thing is to think about modifying your process and goals. Things I've discovered about this that work for me.

- Broadly, try to enjoy deleting things; take some pride and pleasure in the fact that you're "cleaning," and have faith that if it's important, it'll stick around or come back.

- Folders/Hierarchies mostly suck. Tags are also overrated. Lists and links are mostly the way to go. The hyperlink is probably the most underrated advancement in our lifetime.

- If you must do folders, go by form, NOT topic or area, you'll get bogged down in "which bucket does this go in."

- Consider the end goal, which is something easy and elegant and enjoyable to peruse again. One way to look at it might be, if I got bonked on the head, or if a stranger looked at this, would they find it useful?
I don't know if anyone has experienced the same, but I haven't been to a wake or funeral since COVID started. People die, and then there's no visitation or funeral of any kind - I think the families do a cremation, and that's that.

It's a really cold feeling. It demonstrates to me why these rituals were important in the first place. It is like the person just disappears.
I definitely agree with this, but what I have found it useful for is for discovering 'unknown unknowns' that I can then research in more depth.

It's too bad that it produces such plausible-sounding answers while being subtly wrong. But it can certain help people to expand their knowledge. I don't think it's a replacement for a comprehensive education on a topic, but can help people get closer.

So true. Thanks for reminding me, I really need to get myself a tray. I have the autonomous standing desk and even at its lowest height, the keyboard is still too high. The only way I can get the angle of my arms/hands to feel normal is if I raise my chair really high, but then that comes with its own issues.

Which keyboard tray did you get?
It's also very easy to invent supposed "intellectual property" rights out of thin air that conveniently last for a century or more (!) for your own work.

But instead of either of these views that focus on selfishness, it's much more productive to instead think about what benefits society as a whole.
> Yes. The law is worthless for jobs that have complex pay structure.

I disagree. Comparing base pay is the only objective way to compare salaries. You start to get something a kin to fraud when starting to compare "complex pay structures", which are easy to manipulate and use to screw you over if handled by less scrupulous employers/managers.

Also, it seems the law forces companies to list base pay, but they are very well able to complement that info with what they offer to complement the base pay.
For deep linking knowledge and notes I love to use Remnote (found here on HN)
An air fryer.

It’s really a badly marketed product. Its real utility isn’t that it uses less oil, but that it cooks incredibly fast. Essentially an oven on steroids.

It’s made cooking so much easier. I usually toss some boneless chicken in with a light coating of soy sauce and cornflour. While the chicken cooks, I prep a basic Asian sauce on the stovetop.

The chicken and the sauce are both done within 10-15 minutes. Never have to check on the chicken (unlike a pan) or wait too long (unlike an oven). Mix them together and dinner is ready.
I mean, you'd need to solder headers onto the board, but otherwise not really. There's JTAG headers pre-soldered that might work too, but I'd have to look at which UART/CPU they're hooked up to.

I dont call it FOMO or ADHD. Have you tried sitting in a quiet room? It's very unsettling, the need for information is universal, and probably 'settling'. That s why (social) media are so addictive.

I believe most people are not hoarding information however, but they are looking into the information for the next thing to do.

AI will change that, it will tell us directly what to do. I can't wait

Have you looked at the demos for tortoise tts? It's even free. It's not real-time however.
You are wrong, though public interest is certainly the basis of the purpose of fair use doctrine. But the simplest way of demonstrating that fair use still allows commercialisation is probably this example: search engines absolutely depend on fair use if they include any content from the linked pages. (And some countries have even tried to call the act of linking copyright infringement, though they’ve tended to back off at least a little, to requiring at least the title or other content for it to be infringement, and not just the URL.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use, lots of good reading there.
The pressure to publish tends to lead to many smaller papers, instead of, say, a longer monograph that collates it. Indeed, multiple publications are often made using parts of the same data-set (given how much effort and cost it is to run a study, there is often an incentive to get more data than less, particularly in the clinical and psychological sciences).

It is unfortunate in many ways (not all).
If I told you “in 2020, Amazon’s highest base pay is $165K”, would that stop you from thinking that Amazon paid tech workers well?
It's absolutely a knowledge base. The "training data" is its raw database which is then preprocessed to speed up the query engine. Then it does some additional processing to return amalgamated results from that database when presented with a query, which for some reason they call a "prompt." It's clever, but when you view the training data as part of the program source code, which it absolutely is, the information entropy of its output is miniscule.

If that's the case, we need to serious re-consider how we reward Open Source as a society (I think that would be fantastic anyway!) -- we have people producing knowledge and others profiting directly from this material, producing new content and new code that's incompatible with the original license.

You make GPL code, a make an AI that learns from GPL code, shouldn't its output be GPL licensed as well?

I think meanwhile the most reasonable solution is that an AI should always produce content compatible with the training material licenses. So if you want to use GPL training sets, you can only use that to create GPL-compatible code. If you use public domain (or e.g. 0BSD?) training sets, you can produce any code I guess.
I have been hit by a bus. Survived obviously.

At work I've been added a 2nd technical contact and security contact for several projects because "you're less likely to be hit again". I think, but I'm not 100% sure, that is being done in a joking manner.

Google open sourced CDC File Transfer from the ashes of Stadia
I am generally not inclined to engage with comments like this, but in this case I will: I am a pragmatist and not an absolutist, stopping all tourism is obviously a non-starter, so are other things that would be high impact like making everyone be vegan or banning gasoline outright. Burning tons of fuel to haul snow to a place that no longer gets enough snow because of how much fuel we've burned is, in my opinion... not in that category. I also think that people do not have to be "perfect" themselves before advocating for change.

On the topic of wilderness trips: I am of the mind that many people are totally disconnected from the natural world these days, and people are not generally inclined to care about things in the abstract. Getting out in nature has been demonstrated to promote environmentalism^, so if people are going to be traveling anyway, these are trips that could have some impact.

To be useful as a comparison between implementation languages, it should be idiomatic. Otherwise it just tells you what it's like to transliterate one language into another, something which is usually only done for interop purposes - running on a platform which doesn't have a native compiler, or to enable native-level APIs when foreign function support is poor.

Code size after transliteration is a race the target language can seldom win; abstractions that also exist (or close enough) in the target language get translated 1:1, abstractions which don't get broken down 1:n, and abstractions which exist in the target language but don't have analogues in the source language generally don't get used at all. It's hard to end up with a shorter program following this approach. Only boilerplate with redundant repetition and ceremony - code which has little functional effect other than to satisfy declaration order rules, symbol visibility and so on - can get eliminated.
Weirdest thing about tipping is the fact that employers can (or should) reduce hour cost transferring the cost to the clients based on their good will.

Weird.
Came to say this as a light user of Obsidian. I don't think "hoarding" information is a bad habit. These are potentially bad habits:

A) Allowing yourself to be distracted by useless information

B) Under-organizing (or over-organizing) the information you collect

The OP may over-collect pieces of information that aren't important (URLs of random things that are novel) and may not spend enough time adding context to what he collects (e.g. via notes in a tool like Obsidian).

I find the ideas behind zettelkasten very useful. Our brains are not able to remember everything of value, therefore it is worthwhile to invest a little energy in an external or "second brain" where information is stored with some degree of organization for future retrieval.

I have a cache of notes on all manner of subjects going back about a decade. I only recently discovered Obsidian and have been gradually linking those notes together, adding context etc. This has had a real impact on my understanding of certain topics because I've re-discovered insights and knowledge of many things I had simply forgotten.
I’ve been tempted to get a set of gymnastic rings for a while. For someone like me who tries not to accumulate too much junk, buying any kind of bulky gym equipment is not an option.
