I think the point here on how AirBnb isn't changing things because the money keeps flowing in, is that you continued to use them after getting scammed not once, but twice

The odds of getting scammed is probably 1:100 if not less, and if people keep using them the next time even when they're the 1%, they have nothing to worry about

We're not discussing self aware AIs like we see in science fiction; it's just a bunch of cool machine learning algorithms. I think that the word learning here is a bit of a red herring.

It's cool that the algorithms are generic enough an can be specialised with training data, but it's a very very far cry from anything resembling basic awareness, much less the level of awareness mammals have.

This is typically how it's done though: if you were to make a subselection of the treatment group to only include those that adhered to the intervention then (a) you risk undoing the randomization, because people who are more likely to adhere to the protocol are likely different in other ways as well and (b) the effect size you'd report would be a best case scenario, not realistically the kinds of results a dietician would see when helping people.
That’s the old way of language design; used to be that to create a “programming language”, you’d write a spec and call it a day. That just doesn’t fly anymore. These days, you actually have to implement a parser and compiler, and not only that, you have to write the entire standard library as well, along with a toolchain complete with debugger, profiler, package manager, language server implementation, etc.

All this is to say that a programming language these days is really the sum of its parts, not a spec.

Generally people conflate health and weight because globally, for a very large number of people, this is the main problem. As societies move to western diets, the average person becomes overweight and is diagnosed with one or more health problems directly related to obesity (pick one or more from my list above).

This is the easy problem to diagnose.

The connection between nutrition and health, if obesity is not your concern, seems indeed to be far more nuanced and complex. I'm not sure if anyone has come up with anything better that every expert could agree on except "eat little bit of everything".

I suppose fasting seems to improve biological markers even for non-obese people so it's not only about weight loss as such, though.

You're up in your own head, and are sensitizing yourself to frustrations you would have brushed off in your (heh) youth. The cortisol isn't helping either. It's also possible that you're just burnt out.

You're going to have stretches where you look back and feel like you're doing the best work of your career, and stretches where you worry that you're done for. It's all normal.

If this project isn't clicking with you, but you have to do it anyways, use this as an opportunity to build some "compensatory" habits. A similar situation (I'm older than you, but this happened in my late 30s) got me big-time into note taking, which has been a long-term win.

Management cannot be at fault because they are not responsible for safely flying the aircraft or safely maintaining the aircraft. That is the job of the employees, not management.

Now if management had for example knowingly procured inferior replacement parts or hired non-certified personnel to work on the aircraft, they would be at fault.

> You can't just Excel the Tether short because the basic premise is no one knows the truth about them.

You can model the expected value of all kinds of bets without knowing what the exact outcomes will be.

> if you believe [that Tether has solid reserves] ...

No, I don't believe that. Tether is a pile of burning garbage on a train wreck that's happening in slow motion over multiple years. Don't assume that I must be a Tether bull just because I disagreed with you on some related point.

> The reason people are attracted to this short is because they believe it is in fact the latter scenario, and that eventually some event (or series of events) will reveal the emperor has no (or at least not enough) clothes and the peg will collapse. My point is if/when it does it's going to take everything else down with it [...]

I understood your point the first time you explained it, and I already explained to you why you are wrong. Yes, if Tether collapses, everything else will crash as well. That's not the point of contention here. The point of contention is whether shorting Tether has the same expected value and risk as shorting BTC. It doesn't, because the risk that Tether goes up from $1.00 to $2.00 is practically non-existant, whereas the risk that BTC doubles in price is considerable. If you make any kind of simple EV calculations (with any assumptions you want!) you will immediately see that these bets are quite different in nature.

I have no doubt if anyone successfully builds this system, it will save us — although, if built correctly and the majority of human beings are rotten, it can also rapidly doom us. But that is not for me to worry about. Just here to build it.

I’m getting over a nasty sickness so don’t have the energy to establish new connections, but perhaps in the future when it is “ready” and I have more formal documentation on the function, it will be useful to have it reviewed by people familiar with the problem area.

I would talk to your doctor and get their input on the situation. Perhaps it's nothing, or perhaps it's something easily treated with medication. Why spend months and years continuing to suffer without doing anything about it.

I'm curious though have you had one or even more than one COVID infection? Brain fog / difficulty concentrating has been known to be a symptom of long term COVID complications. The sooner you identify it as a potential problem the more you can do to work on addressing it with a healthcare professional.

I don't buy for a second that a 40 year old is 'getting old' or that this is normal for your age. I'm 41 and as sharp as ever--I love solving problems and don't struggle with abstractions. Something is up IMHO and it's time to talk to a pro.

I don't know you personally but I doubt cognitive decline has anything to do with this.

As we age, we usually end up with more and more life responsibilities, beyond just the work we are doing. All of that is input to the brain and requires energy in response. The brain is not infinite.

I often feel as you do, but then I have periods where I am as light and agile in my productivity as 20 years ago, maybe even more so, and usually it is my life circumstances that are the culprit.

I remember once about 13 years ago I was working on a mobile game and had a similar problem as you describe; there was one day where the technical work seemed to overwhelm me and I felt inadequate. But I was just a young chap, and it was a passing moment -- I had indeed just taken on some enormous new life responsibilities at that time, which were the likely explanation.

Burnout is real, too, and giving yourself space (if you can) to relax and not think about work for a break can be quite useful to recharge.

I'm a huge crypto bear, and even if crypto collapses 99% - it's still a >$10B market, so there will still be people trading it.

In addition to the GP, I'll add there's a certain level of naïveté of being young that makes one feel like they were better than they were. I'm mid-40s and am probably the best I've ever been at writing good code, but sometimes I can get vapor locked knowing all the things I need to account to for. When I was younger I just coded because I didn't know any better.

So when I get stuck now, I just start writing code like I would have when I was early 20s.
> Furnace was changed a few years back and coincides with worse asthma symptoms for both me and my youngest son.

As others have said, if correctly installed you should not have any furnace exhaust indoors.

You should _always_ have at least a Carbon Monoxide alarm (CO) installed in the furnace room. If there is no monoxide leak it's unlikely that other particulates are escaping. The CO alarm should be installed in your furnace room irrespective of whatever sensor analytics you would like to add for your investigate.
Electoral reform was also an advertised manifesto pledge. A pretty huge one actually: "a fair deal by cleaning up politics".

My key point here is that, while I understand you feel betrayed, the other parties are quite literally breaking their pledges left and right.

The main difference is that it seems to get not that much media attention.

That you wouldn't vote for someone who made a compromise against their values: but might vote for a purported anti-semite[0] or an actual racist homophobe[1] is disquieting.

Sounds like you put crypto on your resume, so don’t worry about getting accidentally hired :)
Huh? Cavities aren't "brown spots".
Well not really. If you are using your CPU near 100% 24/7, then getting a CPU which is 50% faster means that you're going to be using around 50% fewer computers, right? And also, which CPUs are you talking about which use 40W under load at anywhere near this kind of performance?
I was a bit tongue in cheek on this part of my comment, because that's the idea.

You are essentially saying that respecting the license I chose is impractical.

In other words, that my work cannot be used in such a setting.

So, either AIs need to stop being trained so liberally, or it becomes clear that copyright does not apply when used as training set. I appreciate that other people have different opinion on this, but I pretty much don't want my work to be used like this, and having a variant of licenses to cover this would be concerning.

The fight about this is not over, hence the hope I'm expressing.
Yes, frameworks call you, while you call libraries.
The surprise over the $3 fee indicates just how many tricks of the light are used to hide exactly how bad finance is, then make dishonest comparisons to crypto markets.

Bear in mind that the world has been really ratcheting up the "everything's fucked" factor for the last several years. This might not be "I'm 40", it might be "I'm dealing with living in the current state of the world."

Bingo. I use this all the time to let users pass preconfigurations of internal tools back and forth. These are tools that live on the client and don't have a backend. The downside is my users complain about 'long/ugly links' which is another problem...
40 has nothing to do with it. Every other day I see a Ask HN post from younger people bringing up depression, burnout, and apathy.

Listen, there are 60 year olds that look like our long held image of a 60 year that can barely walk or do anything.

And then there are 60 year olds that go to the gym everyday.

How do you want to play this? I don’t accept your premise that 40 has anything to do with it.

Why do you think your computation resources have to grow faster than the speed of light? That isn't even a dimensionally consistent statement. Are you assuming that the FLOPs per unit volume per second will be constant? Or that the amount of energy per FLOP will be constant?

I don't think either of these assumptions is reasonable.
It seems like you are handling this rather well. If you ever start to doubt yourself just remember to count all of your past and present colleagues that are not posting their latest and greatest on social media and doing fine regardless. I am certain they are the majority.

The license has no bearing on who or what may read code.

Licenses may control the circumstances of code facsimiles and products, but trying to stop your code from simply being seen or read with a disclaimer is impossible and silly.

I know how you feel. I'm a bit younger at 38, but I can feel it as well. It started around mid-2020 for me. I'm not sure whether to chalk it up to covid, or depression, or natural aging. I hope it's not natural aging, because I can lose my muscles or my youthful appearance, but I cannot lose my brain.
I’m having a hard time squaring the circle of “consensus based design doesn’t work for software but it does work for cars.” By all accounts, here in the US, we regularly bounce software architecture decisions around a room and land on a best design based on inputs from many. Likewise, our cities and cars are founded upon (id even say drowned by) consensus based design.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the thesis here, but it seems contradictory. I do think PG has a point with an ingrained culture of quality being hugely important. I just don’t think that necessarily contributes to bad software. In fact, I’m quite certain it doesn’t, since companies like Nintendo manage to produce absolutely beautiful pieces of software regularly.

I would like to take the devil's advocate approach & argue the opposite. Not because I believe it but looking to learn.

If I go to your writing, I read it & learn from it. Your writing influences my future writing. We've been okay with this as long as it's not a blatant forgery.

If a computer goes to your writing, it reads it & learns from it. Your writing influences its future writing. It seems we are not okay with this, even if it isn't blatant forgery.

--

I think arguments can be made that computers are different because of their ability for much larger data sets & speed in learning.

I'm not sure it's 100% fair to say a human can learn but a computer that a human uses can't learn.

I am tossing around the idea in my head that this is different because the company is re-using your material to create a product they are going to sell. I'm not sure if I believe that is so different than a human employee doing the same thing.

Personal rant, I'm curious how this effects original writing vs duplicated content we currently see. It does seem original writing is rare & we're already drowning in people trying to become social media influencers in their niches by re-using content that's been copied over & over again with very little change.

Clean room design is there to ensure that the parts of the code that are expressive are not copied… the class structures and overall “shape”, the sort of arbitrary differences between different ways to organize data structures, functions and types (think: what everyone argues the most about).

If some functionality can basically only be expressed in one general way then this is not subject to copyright. This could either be due to performance constraints, simplicity, or something based on a mathematical algorithm.

It is incredibly hard to read through a codebase and not be inspired by the structure. “Oh, I like how this code was organized!”… it is hard to “forget” that! That’s the real reason for clean room design. To keep people from inadvertently using the “expressive, non-utilitarian structures” that ARE covered by copyright in works that are otherwise useful and subject to mechanical inventions covered by patents.
Whens the last time you had a check up? There are lots of things that can cause brain fog. Lack of exercise, sleep apnea, etc.
Also, our standards improve as we age. I wrote a lot of high-energy seemingly clever code when I was younger, but it was nonsense and terrible to read. Now I would not allow myself such indulgence, and so I work differently, maybe at times more slowly, and it might seem this is due to less abilities, but actually it is due to wiser experience.

Or I guess I should ask what other requirements of life should be completely under the governments control? Should Government run farms and give you food for free? Should government build homes and issue them to people?

I have never been clear why healthcare is uniquely something that must be provided by government but other things are not.

If you think the government should provide everything you need to live like they were a parent or nanny well then we have completely and incompatible views as to what a government should be

Despite numerous wrong turns and silly mistakes, Coinbase is looking more and more as the lonely survivor positioned to dominate crypto trading in the West.

The company has lots of cash on hand in excess of corporate debt, almost no short-term corporate debt, customer assets backing all customer deposits, and as far as I can tell from a quick read of the latest quarterly report, a clean balance sheet with no red flags.

If the crypto market recovers from the latest crash, which is what has happened after all previous crashes in the past, Coinbase stands to win big.
