If every month comes out someone from nowhere with the latest and best, what this really means is that its is really not the best! People nowadays put together two shiny things and go around the world saying they have the best thing ever. It is just silliness. Stop paying attention to that and stick to well tested and proven technologies.

No, but we mortals age our brain ability does tend to decline.
> it would be easier to reliably implement the "reading reactions, and understanding what each of those 12 people needs to hear to have them act like he wants" part

Come to think about it. This part can be valuable, even as a startup. You get mock juries, you act out legal cases in front of them. You collect every single thing the actor lawyers say, and how they say it, and you also collect full transcript of their deliberations.

You model the data, and then you sell the services to lawyers. They can practice in front of your model jury initialised with what can be known about the real jurors and can see traces of their deliberations. Not just one run of the model, but many runs if they want to.
That particular vacinne was unique, in that the virus still survived:

> Infection of the host and the transmission of the virus are not inhibited by the vaccine. This contrasts with most other vaccines, where infection of the host is prevented.

Leaky vaccines are a serious problem but only a small group of vaccines fit that definition and, so far, that's the only real example of it happening in animals at scale.

It already does. I've seen it repeat some popular misinformation and disinformation on local political and humanities topics. Depending on the topic, I treat its information with the same misinfo/disinfo priors that I use for any information on those topics from the web. It's good for overviews and exploration, but it has all the same biases as society.
Sure, I should have included *without causing throttling etc. Things have come a long way in the 18 years(!) since this video was created...

Look at task instead. It's the superior project IMHO.

Really not sure this works for homebrew with their brew and tap and keg naming theme.
I have played along a little. I created a one or two blog posts. Many people don't. It is not a requirement and seems to have zero impact on raises. Writing blog posts are hard and draining, and of course done on your own time, but it is not a bad idea to give it a shot once or twice for the experience.
> I can't seem to hold more than about 2 levels of call stack in my head.

If you keep thinking that you can't then you won't.

I recommend you to stop worrying and do the work. In time you will find ways to accomplish your tasks. In any case you can't go buy a new brain so why spend time worrying?

Looking at it differently: Even if a young you had greater mental ability, did young you have the same skills, experience, knowledge etc.?
Ask HN: Are you facing mental exhaustion? What changes in lifestyle helped you?
I bet it can do some experements if given a (thoughtful) request, resources/access. (I had ChatGPT control my Linux box through me, it gave commands and reasoning for it, I gave it the output... Another time I had it write an answer, give search terms to verify the claims, I gave the output, and it fixed the answer with actual citations.)
It can imitate reasoning and emotions better than some people I know at least.
Don't underestimate the fact you likely don't care about what you are doing.
You're comparing someone having worked in crypto with a terrorist? If you have to go that far to make your argument make sense, maybe your argument is not all that solid.
Many books are written with less care than an investigative journalist writing their big reveal. Many books follow your process as a go-to market strategy, and not crafting a work of art.

Mike Tyson dictated his book. Self help gurus pay editors and writers to spin their 10 steps into a full "book."

Not all books use such a prestigious process. In fact, most don't.

Per my initial comment, it is not books but well crafted literature at any length. Using the term "book" to describe that is lazy and ignores the many excellent short form pieces and overwhelming amount of garbage books that get produced every day.
My condolences to anyone who worked on this project.

>The mission had been billed as a major milestone for UK space, marking the birth of a home-grown launch industry. The ambition is to turn the country into a global player - from manufacturing satellites, to building rockets and creating new spaceports.

The only thing the UK provided for this was a runway.

People have this crazy idea that we have magicked into existence an actual industry with skills and employment and revenue and things. We haven't. People need to drop the bullshit before can make any actual progress. Until then this will just be bullshit press releases and self congratulation (which is all it has been so far...). It honestly baffles me that anyone can take any of this seriously. I swear, my whole country has been undergoing a huge group delusion since about 2015...
Adding to this:

> By the time I'm down in the weeds I've forgotten what I'm doing, what the purpose of the actual API call is.

If I can craft tests up front in terms of the higher level goals then when I finish a subcomponent or get distracted by something else the higher level test is there for me to fall back on to figure out what to do next.
The Rivet Programming Language
Our CF18s didn't get many upgrades; everyone agrees they require replacement at this point.

Harper joined the F35 program, it cost money to gain access to bid on manufacturing of the F35 with discounts. Ultimately would have saved money. Trudeau ran on cancelling the F35 and he did cancel. Canadian tax payers are now paying the cost of his short sighted and ideologically motivation.

F22 was never for export. We're never buying Russian or Chinese; especially now we are at war with both of them. India/Japan has lagged behind in their development and is paying for it in their north. F35 is really our only option. We never got invited to the british 6th gen. We never got invited to the german/french 6th gen. It's surprising how much military diplomacy has been excluding Canada lately, fear about what side we are on.

Trudeau did have other options other than the F35. He could take the money and develop a drone fighter. Built in Canada but made available to all NATO? It would sell and pay for itself. The future doesn't have pilot seats, it will be drones for air superiority.

I learnt something recently as well. One of the key reasons Canada is generally safe from invasion is primarily defensive alliances and not our pathetic military. But rather civilian firearm expertise. Our government should basically have a firearm mandate. Every house must own something. Except we're doing the opposite?
oof, i feel you. when that happens to me, i tend to wish for the code to magically turn into a graph... which is when i fire up bouml or whatev and try to draw a diagram to help me in my quest

That's backwards really. The control loop works in the other direction by monitoring the temperature inside the CPU. The CPU will draw as much or as little power as the cooling system permits, as long as the demand exists.
Framework Fixation – An Anti Pattern (2012)
Do you have any information about the Kraftwerk claim?

(I'm also a firstborn American German so this is personally culturally interesting)
I am about 15 years older than you and I understand the worry. Things do take a little but longer to sink in and a little bit longer to hold in your head (I need to be a little more intentional about remembering and I love having a notebook or random piece of paper nearby to scribble in).

But I think the biggest difference comes when I care about something or not. The other day I was reading through the material for the Full ham radio license in the UK because it's about bloody time I got the Full one rather than the lower level. And because I was interested I easily recalled the next day that the impedance of coax used by hams is typically 50 ohm, television feeds typically uses 75 ohm and ladder line is 450 ohm.

If you're doing something that doesn't interest you don't be surprised that your brain isn't interested either! Also, if you have a life then tiredness, worries, stress, etc. all kill your coding vibe.
Aren't those workflows operated by LSP Rename action rather than multi cursor ? Since Ecode supports LSP, if you only need to rename things, you should be good without multi cursor.
Any number of things can affect your ability to handle abstraction. (Including just not being interested.) Other people in this thread will probably bring up all kinds of ideas for external forces affecting your mental capacity.

First thing you should do is figure out what's wrong. Refer to what other people here are saying. Additionally, see if your family history includes a history mental illness or degenerative medical conditions (including dementia and Alzheimers). Everyone knows someone with this, you're looking for a pattern. For example, multiple people in my maternal grandfather's family had been institutionalized and most of the family had bipolar and schizophrenia diagnoses.

And now, how to still get your job done... :)

At one point in my career, my mental facilities became so compromised, I couldn't follow abstraction. Instead of seeking help, I figured out a system to overcome this.

What I did was externalize my memory. Quite literally, I would write everything I needed to paper: variable names, notes on their contents, call stacks.

Once the entire set of function calls where on paper, I could see the structure and continually shuffle things in and out of very limited working memory as I worked to understand and fix issues.

It's slow, but not as slow as you would think.
It seems the author correctly points out some problems with descriptive names, but then advocates for "fun" names without explaining how they deal with the problems. So the solution is that they are "more fun" and give up on solving the problems whatsoever?

I've dealt with cute names in past jobs. Because they are meaningless ("Thoth"? I think that's an Egyptian god, but what does it do?) I've spent months confused. And when I didn't deal with them, I forgot what they did, especially since in the microservices world there's so many of them.

I'd rather have a slightly outdated but descriptive name than a completely meaningless "cute" name.
> if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Yeah, I like this principle. It applies to different areas of life.
I don’t have socials. Removed all of them because they are a waste of time and I don’t care about what other people ”are doing” (if I'll ever care, I'll text them). When you realise that there are engineers put in place to make them addictive to the point of making you waste 6+ hrs a day, your eyes will open instantly. No matter how much control of yourself you have, you are going to fall for it one way or another.

I have a LinkedIn account on which I don’t follow anyone so I don’t get to see what others are doing on the platform. I don’t press like on anything, I don’t comment on a single thing. I have to have it because you’ll never know about future job opportunities.

I hate that YouTube introduced shorts.

I have a website, people can read what I write there and can find my contacts and CV. If I'll ever think about praising a company, you're going to find it there (spoiler: it's never going to happen).

Personally I’ve never seen anyone requiring socials for a position, I would probably reject the offer.
The supply of crypto isn't limited because people can just mint new chains. And of course, the more the number goes up on a chain the less attractive it is to actual users as opposed to holders.
Render.com isn't that attractive anymore
I have been thinking these lasts months about moving to render. Mostly to keep my life simple. Then, I heard something about changing prices, and learning more, I found:

"Egress bandwidth usage beyond a plan’s free allowance (100GB) will be charged at $30 per additional block of 100 GB. This is necessary to cover our costs for global bandwidth and DDoS protection. Inbound bandwidth is still free."

How is this in any way a good deal?

I am in Hetzner right, where first 20.000 GB Are free and then €1.21 for every additional 1000 GB in traffic. I'm not talking about the CPU costs, or its management but how at this point I consider that irrelevant.

What do you think?
It turns out the same dynamic is at play with songwriting - your standards get higher, what seemed novel when you were 20 now seems boring. I’m sure it is the same across disciplines. The irony is, it kills creativity.
I'm in my early 30s, have been programming for 10+ years and have this from time to time but as another comment said I don't think it's age related but more burnout or general tedium of the task. As I get older I do notice I have to force my brain a bit more to do boring tasks like the one you're describing, it feels like I'm not necessarily mentally declining but have less patience for these kinds of tasks and have a better idea of what I'd rather be spending my time on (creative tasks, friends, family).

Also anecdata but I'm finishing up a project in which the CTO of the company has a good 15 years on you and seems as sharp as ever.
I felt the same when was infected from Covid. That remained for 6 months, and then gradually went away.

At the downtime I felt like +20 or 30 years older and gone retarded. Can't do any more hard brain work, and felt like I can't do that ever.

But this will pass.
This smells wildly overdramatic. They've been working on solutions big and small since it was reported, it's just that the big solutions take time, this was communicated to Drew.
Another example is Discord. In the beginning Discord servers were called Guilds and that's still their name in all their documentation and APIs. So it's more than company names.
There's a lot of biology in the mix here to that must not be dismissed.

But I like your take. Do everything reasonable to continue forward and maintain your body and mind.

Just don't completly ignore your genetics and biology and be open that they might speak-up and have a say too.
FYI, CME outsources 101 functions, from technical connections to account management to custody and settlements that Coinbase (has to) do itself.
Can someone explain to me how this works?

I don’t understand the mechanism.
There is one game engine for "isometric" RPG but that engine is not used anymore for various reasons.

It is the "Aurora Toolkit" from Neverwinter Nights.

As far as I know the only game that used it that is not from Bioware or Bioware-related companies is Witcher 1, that wasn't isometric anyway. (also I am not sure why they used that engine... since the game doesn't use Aurora Toolkit strenghts in any form...)
I know we as programmers tend to be obsessed with our mental abilities, but statistically speaking you're about 30ish years off from the average timeline of mental decline. In times like this you need to take a few steps back and see what's actually taking up space in the back of your head. Usually in cases like this it's burn out, stress etc that people don't notice until they try and feel what's weighing them down.
Microsoft in talks to acquire a 49% stake in ChatGPT owner OpenAI
But it's also the acknowledgement list, and this part is not specific to the GPL, it also applies to BSD, MIT and all the other licenses which include an attribution clause, which is most of them.

If we require AIs to respect licenses of work in their training set, it's a mess, really. It might actually be unsolvable because licenses are not all compatible with each others.
> Claiming python has blazing speed while literally being CPython is insanity

And it is not claimed anywhere. Besides, cpython is not really know to be fast, as it is an interpreter? Why would its implementation language matter much?

Nice. The flexibility in identifying whether a task needs to run gives a lot of power.
Not in my mid-40s yet, but vapor lock is a great term. I also try to do the same, just write crufty code that works, hopefully clean it up some as I go.
42 here, I feel it. Don't know if it's age, added responsibilities, or the culmination of all the distraction and task switching I've experienced for years. But, I've just recently started 'brain training' using brainhq.com, kind of for fun and just to see if it makes a difference.

TBH I thought all those ads for brain training were a load of BS, but I recently finished reading The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge, it's an older-ish book at this point but there was a lot of info in there about how the brain works that I didn't know. Neuroscientist Michael Merzenich's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Merzenich work pioneering brain plasticity with cochlear implants and expanding that research into autism is highlighted at the beginning of the book and it's pretty damn interesting.

BrainHQ was started by Merzenich, and it's cheap. Figured why not give it a shot?
Exactly! That's why I always advocate giving every monitor in an office its own unique name (mine is Moe!) and every keyboard, chair, desk, etc. Who wants to use those stuffy descriptive generic names??

Obviously trademarks and other product names are more useful if they're unique; Google, Apple, etc. are not components of a system, they're products. It's like getting your car fixed - they don't tell you the Jane and the two front Turnipheads need replacing, now do they?

Everything I do is under NDA. So I blog about films instead. shrug

No, it's impossible to have an abundance of everything that could be wanted - however we have abundance of what are called "necessary goods"

This is one of the criticisms I'm trying to address because the concept that we can't share because we can't maximize everyone's personal desire I think is a phantom fear. Specifically, Humans (despite what Agent Smith said) have shown repeatedly that they can find local balance with their environments provided they do not overconsume, which is possible to not do.

At the root of this debate is the silly question about whether humans are fundamentally selfish or cooperative which is a false dilemma. Every piece of behavioral research indicates that we're "helpful" to each other and cooperate as the predominant behavioral feature (based on infant/toddler studies). Even if it didn't though, the idea that there's a fundamental flaw in humanity is literally just induced fear, there is no scientific basis for it.
An often unintended side effect of using the URL hash to contain state is that it breaks potentially linking to an anchor element ID somewhere in the page. Obviously this doesn't matter much if the page doesn't use anchor IDs or you don't intend on users doing that.
Excel brings out new features all the time while keeping 100% backwards compatability. The difference in features between old and new versions is staggering. They knew parts of their usage would get replaced by other software if they don't innovate, and so they did.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan to use Excel for all the use cases it's being used for, but it's probably by far the most versatile software out there and powers more businesses than any other software.

EDIT: And if you need an example for a new feature that users wanted, I heard a lot of people being really happy about the introduction of XLOOKUP, introduced very recently.

American issues with food always amaze me.

It's like they are genetically incapable of eating less and better and need to turn everything into a competition. This time against weight. "If you eat at night obesity won't notice, because it's sleeping!".

Apparently being the richest country in the World is not enough to afford healthy and quality food for everybody.

Doesn't matter when you eat,if you eat less calories than those you burn you'll lose weight. Yes, it will take time of course, but the good news is it's gonna last.

It's not rocket science.

edit: as an experiment, start by cutting a big chunk from your portions. Many say to cut in a half, it might be too much, reduce them by 30% for a month and see what happens. If you feel like you have no energy, eat a small portion of fresh fruit, for example half a banana, an orange or two mandarins, depending on the season.

Obviously Americans, who are also very touch when you point out they aren't perfect, took this personally.

So to lend them a hand, I'll leave this here, it talks about Samoans, who are not as easily offended.

That is just unrealistic ?

Some days you just feel down and are barely able to function, others you have seemingly unlimited energy, and this can come from a whole host of factors : how did you sleep, what did you eat, what is the weather, how is your personal life going...

And of course things get worse as you age (with quite a lot of variation and personal responsibility in staying healthy).
Trying to control access to information and how it is used is extremely difficult.

It is also immoral in most cases.

Most importantly though, it is impossible to accomplish with a silly disclaimer.
Learning From Data (https://amlbook.com) is a great introduction to ML from a more theoretical perspective. The language is easy to understand but the concepts that it deals with are very theoretical, a combination that is hard to find elsewhere.

For example nearly everyone understands how to apply multivariable logistic regression, in say Numpy, however a good grasp of underlying concepts such as confidence bounds for overfitting and and being able to use formal proofs to explain concepts such as VC Generalisation will both help you stand out and provide a good foundation that makes further learning much easier.
> I'm worried that wont rebuild my confidence and abilities fast enough though. I want to make progress on this task today, not next week.

I’ve experienced this a bunch of times too. I’m sorry to say this, but burnout for me never goes away on a convenient schedule. The more I make myself wrong for feeling overwhelmed, distracted and unmotivated, the worse it gets. Or in other terms, problems are rarely solved with the same thinking that created them.

For me, I have to really give myself permission to step back, take stock of myself, get some sleep and good food and often take a break from “work” programming tasks for a few weeks. (And I know exactly how inconvenient that last part is).

The more I push myself to feel better already, the longer it takes.
