It's similar. I.e. psychology of users, building startups as I'm right now building one, so I want to learn as much as possible. Blogs are not bad, I personally just loose ambition to read it and absorb it like I do when I read the book. I know it's totally different medium, and blogs are fast, books are slow, but I just waisting time scrolling through post, while I can read a book meanwhile.

Bitcoin's raison d'etre is to serve as a decentralized currency free from the constraints of central banks or governments, and it fulfills this purpose admirably.
There is a caveat: license and usage fees for using the protected media have to be paid to the Belarus patent office. If a copyright holder will claim their rights they may be getting a minimum of 80% of those profits, provided that the Belarus patent office finds them entitled.

That said: not a great fan of the MPAA, but a dictatorship scares me a bit more when it comes to taking profits out of their hands.
I'd never use extremes like 'best' or 'worst' to describe any type of creative piece, but I have to say having recently watched the first 2 movies again for the first time in like 20 years: yeah there is something about these movies (and some others from that era) which I'm really missing in releases of the past decade. Only problem being: I don't know if it's merely some nostaligic bias or if they are really just better overall.

I think the argument is based on textualist interpretations not actually being how the Constitution is interpreted. The Constitution tends to be interpreted as a “living document” where the courts imagine what the founders would have thought if they were writing it today.

For example, the First Amendment makes no mention of speech contained inside of books, and a strict reading would exclude such a thing. However, the Supreme Court has held many times that “speech” includes things that are not literal speech.

Another would be your Miranda Rights; The Supreme Court “made them up” based on the Fifth Amendment. Despite them not existing in the actual text, it has been held many times by lower courts and the Supreme Court that it does cover those rights. Although, some on the Supreme Court would still disagree (Thomas, for example).

There’s also a belief that the Federalist Society is more common among small-government and right-wing politicians, who use the textualist interpretation as a way to take rights away. For example, Roe v. Wade was roughly based on your right to privacy with a doctor, but right-wing politicians and judges used the fact that abortion isn’t in the Constitution at all as an argument to overturn it.
Not ChatGPT, but Github copilot just wrote me some very nice documentation for a library I'm working on that was surprisingly good. All I had to do was change some wording and clean up the formatting, probably saved me a couple of hours.
LOL, true. I still sometimes blow everything up or activate some weird corner of functionality with a slip of the finger.
The operative word in hype cycles is always will. Blockchains will revolutionize this, web3 will revolutionize that, stable diffusion will do this, ChatGPT will do that.

Talk to me about what it actually has changed and you may convince me.
two things can be true here. our model of incentivizing change is still steeped in a crudely market driven and politically corrupt set of levers. that's the global system we've inherited.

the other thing that is true is that the problem is not about climate change (a catch phrase the fossil fuel industry has trained us to use so that weak arguments can fall back on 'but there's always been change!'). we're talking about climate destabilization, of proven anthropogenic causes. no we cannot precisely predict what the tipping points are or how bad it will be, but we have decades of research showing that it is human caused and operating on a trajectory unlike anything before the industrial era. and we know it is worsening and the stakes for civilization are high.

how we rise to this challenge today, with our current tools, involves investment human and capital. we can hope that those investments are allocated wisely. we can expect that there will be charlatans and waste, as there has been any time a complex problem has been tackled.

Ask HN: How long to stay at a job/company?
Hi everybody.

I recently crossed the 5 years mark in my current job.

I don't have much to complain. Everything is reasonably good: pay, co-workers, work itself.

Still, I often question myself how long should I stay. Is it harmful to my career to stay at the same company too long?

One of my worries is that the best opportunities for me would be remote, but given I live alone I would prefer to keep working in a hybrid way if possible. During the pandemic I felt really bad staying at home every day.
The amount of poor quality blogposts, in particular the volume of poor quality blogposts that are covert advertisements for something (a product, a book, the author's self image, the company they run, etc) just means you are very likely reading something that's a waste of time. I've adapted and find books to be more likely valuable information if not particularly fresh information.
I’m having the same experience as you. It’s still a bit difficult to find a good book, but not as difficult as it is to find a single worthwhile blog post. Even the ones I used to enjoy just feel stale now. The blogs section of my bookmarks used to have at least 30 sites that I visited regularly. Now there are 0.
Shared bytes could be construed in the opposite direction: if two or more of my users have the same chunk in their files, it is more likely to be some legal piece of data.

Files become piracy when there is evidence of intentional copyright infringement, for example when the chunk is part of a valid MPEG4 file and the MPEG4 file is titled "Wednesday_S2E4_FullHD_NetflixRip.MP4"

Given that the PR firm who made their video apparently reached out to the press to tell the story, it seems that he wasn't actually claiming or pretending to be a native speaker (and anybody who did would be extremely easy to uncover).

You forgot a major detail, on clear straight and wide californian roads with perfect conditions. Put them in a historical european city or in inda's traffic hell and witness the mayhem

We're still so far away from autonomous vehicles, to the point most still doubt we'll get there one day without rebuilding our entire infrastructure to accommodate it

Teslas can't even drive in snowy or foggy condition, that removes half the planet for 1/3rd of the year, but of course for a FAANG engineer living in the bay that's not a problem, for them we already have fully autonomous cars, it's just an extremely tiny subset of it.

I spent my holidays in a Eastern european country, I'd pay big money to film Musk in a fully autonomous tesla there, it would probably be the funniest shit ever, I bet it would crash in the first mile
These apps worked fine, and were for specific types of measurements. They weren’t broken, they were finished. Apple just pulled the rug.

For my career, having the wrong role was ultimately unsatisfying - while it was neat knowing what was going on at some altitude, I went back to the keyboard as I preferred making stuff.

Ultimately, life is short. Work to get the resources to do what you like, not just to keep score.
Australia's the same - if you're a pool regular child looking to get the certificates (lifesaver, bronze medallion, etc) you'll be swimming in clothes, diving for weights, towing others by their chin to the poolside, treading water, etc. at age 12 or so.

The problem is people and their expectations after a sudden technology jump:

- 15 years ago we got smartphones and people expected laptops and desktop computer to go away (within the next few years)

- we got web3 and people expected suddenly banks, tradfi, etc. to go away

- we got ChatGPT 2 months ago and now what? Google dead? School / university irrelevant? Threat to humanity?

There will be incremental improvements for AI, it will slowly become more part of our life, like it happens for these other techs

10? How old do British kids start with swimming lessons? In Netherland, most children tend to start swimming lessons somewhere between the age of 4 and 6, and get their A and B swimming diplomas (both of which include swimming with clothes, as well the 4 basic strokes, diving, swimming underwater, etc) between the ages of 5 and 9 (depending on talent).

I met Caleb Chung when I was in Boise several years ago. Cool guy. Real low-key. He drove a simple Chevy Express camper van and told me the porta-toilet was a game changer. If I hadn't heard of his Furby background I wouldn't have a clue that he was very successful and rich.
Similar here. If a non-fiction book interests me, I check out the table of contents, try to derive the content from this and read a bunch of reviews on goodreads.com

Most of the time, it's clear that there's not much more in the book.
I find the point-free function composition style so much more elegant then lambda functions. I acknowledge lambda functions are easier to read and work basically the same way in most contemporary multi-paradigm programming languages.

What I find interesting is there has been a (percieved) massive change in the popular opinion re "AI". If you got an AI story on HN 6 months ago, there were all kinds of "it's just statistics" comments (also incorrect). Now the mood has changed and all the laypeople are gushing about how great it is.

Otoh, my impression is people who have been involved in ML for a while didn't have any sea change in their opinion of the technology based on the recent advances. These were predictable, but cool, extensions of things that were already known, and represent a fundamental advance in polish and marketing, rather than technology.

My point is that the public discourse is now mostly dominated by people looking to profit from hype, not people who actually have experience in the technology, which is of course going to lead to a web3 type feel

Incidentally, below is my prediction for 2023 from new year's eve. I didn't think it would start becoming apparent so quick:

The brevity can be an advantage, I'd much prefer a dense 200-300 page essay to a long drawn out 500-page argument where the author loses both themselves and the reader. But I agree that some of those non-fiction books can be poorly written -- or thought out? They sometimes read like a string of supporting evidence for the author's hypothesis, while blatantly disregarding the evidence that does not support the argument.
As a freelancer/contractor/consultant I could move as often as I liked without getting a CV stain, but I have tended to spend multiple years (even decades) on any one task (often overlapping), whether a client or my own start-ups.

I’ve simply grown impatient (intolerant really) with people who appear to lack respect for my time (and perhaps their own).

That impacts videos, books, articles, blogs, emails, conversations, and so on.

It’s not “TL;DR” but it’s similar, and is not actually an artifact of ADHD or attention economy gimmickry or anything other than recognizing that my most valuable non-renewable resource deserves better allocation.
I'd like to highlight a key idea for pack rats of knowledge/scholarship.

Life is too short for content that's not worthwhile (seriously).

If you're a serious reader, and you live upto 70+ year old, maybe you can finish off 15k books on various topics.

Library of congress alone has 38 million books. That's a meagre 0.04% of the content available at the great library.

Thus, the key skill seems not to be reading, but skipping the non relevant stuff. Get better at skipping stuff that's not worth it given our short lives!
Can someone try with David Attenborough 's voice?
The way it was handled in my experience was people working on a specific component had someone rebuild the base image they derived their work from periodically, using definite versions of components from other groups. So a group writing one particular part of an application would periodically receive new images containing set versions of infrastructure components and peer applications. Older images would still work of course. Individuals could take those images and substitute specific newer (or older) versions of packages as needed. But definitely groups working on different things mostly only shared things that had been versioned in the shared repository. It seemed to work ok to me.

Can someone merge this with Chat GPT so I don't have to attend anymore zoom meetings?
I actually think AI is much more like VR or 3D-cinema tech than Web3: it sounds like it might be a game changer, but nobody actually likes the new medium that much after the initial cool factor. AI generated images are much more impressive though, and some things will be unique.

In the next decade, I see AI to tackle a special category of problems: those that shouldn't be solved, or else the system as a whole gets worse -- chat bots for customer support, absurd amount of content creation. There's much more content today than 20 years ago, and yet my enjoyment has gone down. If I were a member of congress, I'd be surely thinking about ways to slow this down.
> Are we slowly losing a joy of reading blog post because there are so many?

There are a lot of books, too. More than one could read in a lifetime, even if new ones stopped being released. Thus it doesn’t follow that quantity is the problem, or that if it is you’ll eventually be bored by books too.

Years ago I started consuming dozens of books a year. I eventually realised most non-fiction are stretched-out pamphlets: one core idea which could fit into a blog post padded with anecdotes until it reaches book length. The overwhelming majority of productivity books—including the ones typically favoured by HN—fall into this category. A better use of time is to look for an online talk the author has given; you’ll get all the book’s important information faster without the fluff.

Books get boring too. Until you start to develop an eye for quickly identifying the duds so you can abandon them early (or not get them at all). When in doubt, the 2-star GoodReads reviews will typically spell out if a book suffers from too much fluff.

All this to say I don’t think it’s a “books VS blog posts” matter, there’s a ton of garbage in both mediums. Perhaps you’ve just read fewer books than blog posts. If you’re happier with books now, enjoy it.

(I’ve excluded fiction from the conversation because I imagine you’re not talking about blog posts with short stories.)
Used to be 6+, now it seems like 1-3 years. Long enough to not damage your resume. Ideally, long enough to make some demonstrable impact that you can leverage. Play the game with some skill cuz you’ll be 40+ at some point, dragging that career behind you.

Oh, if you find a niche that ie rewarding and enjoyable, run with it. These aren’t all that common.
