In terms of finding work, I would strongly advise thinking about this as a relationship problem.

First, cold introductions to/interviews in performance/efficiency-based relationships in general are terrible, terrible contexts. Mental model templates apply on both sides. Huge waste of time when one party does not fit into the template/box the other party necessarily has. Has nothing to do with the actual potential for a relationship.

Reach out to people you used to work with, or who you went to school with, with whom you had good interactions, learn what they are doing, who they work with, etc. Someone, somewhere, will know someone doing something interesting to you. Getting a single warm introduction is literally worth 100 cold interviews.

Second, put as much time as you can afford into producing the sort of work you would like to be paid to do, and make it available online. Reprise your academic projects, whatever. Treat this like a job, for a few months, and get stuff out. Much, much better than just a resume because it is actual work and you will learn whether you do like it and have facility for it, and if you do, talking about something you have done and liked is an easy path to conveying confidence. And confidence is very, very important to convey in relationships, old and new.

Finally, as someone in their 50s, on cognitive decline- I would suggest meditating on the serenity prayer- (though for me it is without the god part because there is no literal god, only we storytelling, narrative focused humans in this wonderful, fragile world). But for all our societal advances there are many, many things we collectively don't understand, about aging and other topics. Plenty of people produce creative work into their 70s, 80s, 90s. Maybe you will be one of them.

Know yourself, and take care of yourself, but develop the wisdom to know what is under your control and what isn't, and the serenity to recognize what isn't in your control cannot be lost- instead every day with it is a gift. Use those gifts when you have them, and help others to use theirs.

Best wishes.
I don’t understand. Do you think there is something in the CSS spec that dictates developers must use high-abstraction classes? What do you think CSS classes are?
there are no other obvious mechanisms to explain why a smaller model with same or similar architecture would be better than a larger one.

This sounds like the correct way for these things to be utilized. In your case, you were approaching a bottom so in so many words, you were at the end of the line and the only way to go was up (if you wanted out of the predicament).

Where the prescriptions fail imho is with people that are nowhere close to bottoming out. They are in the murky middle and then get a bunch of scripts. They are not near destitution, so their prescriptions end up being perpetual. Taking antidepressants and other medication, and then going to therapy for years constantly talking about how much it sucks to be depressed about this and that means you are on a pathological treadmill. In sports, a “treadmill” team is good enough for the playoffs, not good enough to win a championship, not bad enough to get a top 5 draft pick that could change the whole team. They are stuck in the middle. Eventually treadmill teams realize they need to bottom out and trade most of their team so they can suck for a few years and rebuild with great draft picks (the crappier you are the, the better draft picks you get).

Bottoming out is, for better or worse, one of the most effective methods of snapping people out of an addiction.

I think it is underutilized when it comes to other issues. If you say your life sucks, then lose the job, lose the money, lose the friends, get homeless, and sleep out in the cold. Then if the natural will to live a better life doesn’t kick in, we’ll hospitalize you in a mental institution. Then we’ll try the medication. I’m pretty sure for most people, especially this demo of privileged tech workers, will at some point realize “hey my life ain’t that bad”.

In Tech we call this “fail fast”. Test your theory on how much you think your life sucks by making it suck even more, and test it quickly. Then you’ll get your perspective.

Yes, for now the app is targeted more towards personal life events, not work/office events.

I mostly needed it for planning trips with friends, seeing birthdays on a glance, checking when I'll be able to visit parents or when we scheduled the next concert/theatre play.

And I wanted my wife to be able to view the days and events I'm pointing at without her having to come close to my monitor, which is why the UI is so big.

Not everyone has these needs, I'm aware ^_^

Thanks for the feedback though! I might improve on the other use cases as well in the near future.
Care to expand on that?

The way I see it, math is a really powerful multiple purpose tool that people just don't use all that frequently in day to day life.

Philosophy, on the other hand, while intersting from a history of human thought pov, and an inspiration for divergent thinking when having an overview of its evolution, is not actually a field with a strong tether to reality. It is useful as an idea incubator. But whenever a topic starts becoming scientifically riguros it splits and becomes its own field of inquiry.
And this is why I don't rely on cloud services for mission critical applications.
To add to this, you can put destructive operations like this into phases, for example, before delete, a power off of the service has to happen, and the delete logic won’t run if the power off time hasn’t elapsed 7 days, etc.

These safety layers help present destructive operations more visibly before they are completed.
South Africans would be overjoyed to have stable electricity and clean water to the extent that Germans have.

The problems Europeans complain about are on a much higher level and can't be compared to having 2 to 4 hours blackouts every day for the majority of the year, or to having the water cut off regularly or various other examples of state failure.

> but at least the government there can be held accountable by the general public in elections.

This is tenuous at best in advanced democracies and practically non-existent in many developing countries, like South Africa.

South Africa has had rolling blackouts since around 2007, and the same government that's caused this mess is still in power.

A good middle ground is to have your linter sort the classnames in a reasonable way. I prefer the “outside in” method. This keeps things readable enough so you can find classes where you expect them.
> when should I tell "day job" about "concrete company"?

Only you know the culture of the “day job” so how you proceed will vary:

1) Tell them when you’re excited about the “concrete company” and want to share good news

2) Tell them when you want something to change and you think the “concrete company” gives you leverage to make it happen

3) Tell them when you’re ready to quit

4) Tell them when you’re ready to be let go on the spot

Otherwise, why would you tell them?
Agreed. Sometimes though the unofficial diagnostic for possible chemical issues is that there is no obvious cause in one’s life for depression. If your life is great and you don’t feel it there might be something wrong.

>The promise was "buy this car and soon it will self-drive" (and for Uber it was "Never mind we don't have a sustainable business model now, we will soon with self-driving").

OK - you can make that argument. The point I'm disputing is OP's statement that "Tesla, and even more Uber, were priced as if self driving cars are almost here." I don't believe that statement. That is, I don't believe that the valuation of either company was based on the idea that FSD was almost here.

Yes, great point, but sadly I think we are still are in the minority.

It is amazing for instance how many note taking apps are cloud based, with so little justification, for something that screams local first so loudly.

You might think that Obsidian / Logseq etc are popular (and they are), but they pale in comparison with Roam, One Note, Evernote, etc. Syncing notes across devices in 2023 should NOT require a permanent copy in a cloud server, but here we are.
Yes, it can, and it could be degrading on itself. Let's use an example of AI art. A lot of AI art is pretty terrible. But if it was trained on data containing AI art that was 1. the description of an image 2. and the image itself, and 3. the image turned out how exactly how the user wanted, then this could, in some cases, actually produce decent training data, particularly with weird, super specific data. But again, it would have to be exactly what was wanted from the description (which could be the original prompt), otherwise it would be bad training data. Really it's just a matter of how well the photo matches its description.

Disclaimer: I don't know that much about AI, take this with a big grain of salt. Maybe some other people can chime in here.

Just my 2 cents: It's on my todo list to look for a weather provider, but the "pirate" in the name at first made me discard this: I guess the pirate bay made the word pirate something less-legal sounding, not something I'd want for a business.

Personally I quite like the Bright Ground name joke (and I don't think it will cause legal troubles, but IANAL).
That's very much a case of "working as intended". Most cases of depression aren't chronic, but can be self-perpetuating (low mood leads to a hard time fixing the things that make your mood low, which leads back to the low mood).

Anti-depressants can break that cycle long enough to let you get your stuff together to the point the cycle stays broken.
The consensus seems to be that the majority of LMs are undertrained not overfitting though.
I just did some quick testing on my XPS 7390 2-in-1 (i7 1065G7) with Wayland:

* Firefox + hardware acceleration: 19W

There are largely two common takes on self-driving cars here:

- "Self-driving cars are a suspect and dangerous technology which is unlikely to perform as well as the companies promoting it claim, and may not become broadly useful for decades, if ever" (I broadly fall into this camp) - These people don't like it because it's a 'self-driving' car, FSVO self-driving.

- "Self-driving cars are coming any day now, and will be a transition straight to robo-taxis lead by visionary super-genius Elon Musk" (This has probably become less common as the promises from that camp haven't materialised over the last decade) - These people don't like it because it is insufficiently robo-taxi-y or musky.

There's possibly an argument that the first camp has become too cynical in response to the second, but as it stands there just isn't that much mindshare for this sort of cautious progress.
> Those graphs in the article look too close to placebo. So I wonder why antidepressants are still prescribed to treat any kind of disorder and not only, well, genuine psychogenic depression.

REALLY IMPORTANT NOTAMS tend to alert pilots to RESTRICTED AIRSPACE or AREAS OF UNUSUAL AIR OPERATIONS. You can't fly anywhere near the President of the United States, the movements of which can change from day to day.

We get NOTAMS about military aircraft operations; often military airspace which is usually permitted may be shut down for a week or so.

Wildfire tanker operations or other natural emergencies can close an airspace.

It's quite dynamic, all on top of the scheduled flight plans and routes.

This is a dumb question about language models in general, not necessarily specific to NanoGPT: why is all the focus on training? Can I download and run a pre-trained model locally? Surely the specs required to run a model are much, much lower than those required to train the model?

In almost a decade I never understand why anyone would use Shadow DOM. What's the point of scoped style solution here. Why can't I just™ <tag adoptedstyle="style.css">styff</tag>? .. admittedly I never scope style because I never have to add 3rd party components with style in it.
GP's comments until very recently have all been one-liners. The last few are all of a similar length and generic style. I'm inclined to agree.

@dang, as you no doubt see to a far greater extent than regular users do, generative language model usage on HN is increasing, as is meta-commentary about their use (ie this thread).

On one hand, I think GP has some cogent advice for OP. If the writing style were different, if it weren't transparently written by an LLM, it might deserve its top spot. But there's just something...wrong about accepting a conversation with a robot. There isn't anything inherently Bad about it, but it incentivizes a kind of community I don't want. Robots talking with robots. That's not a community at all.

Meta-threads like this will become tiresome, but so will robot-generated comments. What's the right community etiquette here?
Thank you for sharing your anecdata. In my experience, the number of clones per month is much higher at first, and then decays gradually until it settles into a stable run-rate, so it's likely that you've had more than 100 x 12 x 5 clones over those five years -- i.e., between one and two orders of magnitude the number of stars, 300.
It's shocking to me how few people realize that anti depressants very rarely outperform placebo. I've been arguing with people about this for years, because the evidence from RCTs really has been convincingly bad for a while now. I'm starting to feel like psychopharmacology is a lot like academia, where the real force of change is a generation taught X dying off.
Steve could work in Java/Python/C++/etc/etc/etc backward and upside down, but he was extremely happy with Fortran, from my brief discussion about it with him -- and if he had thought there was a better tool for approaching the problem then you can be absolutely certain that he would have died on that hill.
Electricity is not sold on a "free market" anyway - I can not just hook up my nuclear power station without paying a specific tax aimed at just nuclear power generation - here in Sweden it is called "effektskatt" (output-power based tax) and is responsible for making it very hard or impossible to profitably run nuclear power stations [1]. The government went so far as to change the leadership for the state-owned power company Vattenfall because the existing leadership was not deemed to be cooperative in leading the change to "renewable" power sources.

On the other hand I may be able to put a wind turbine on my premises and get subsidised for doing so which has the opposite effect of the mentioned tax on nuclear power in that it makes it easier to generate wind power profitably.

Some users are freed from all sorts of taxes which all others have to pay, here in Sweden this is - or was, the current government seems to want to change this policy - the case for the likes of Facebook, Google and Microsoft who were allowed to establish data centres with the promise of nearly tax-free electricity. These data centres take so much power that the regions where they have been established have found it difficult to allow other energy-intensive industry to establish there for lack of power.

Margin pricing on electricity is counterproductive and should be abolished since it makes it more profitable to underinvest in more efficient power generation technologies since that would have a negative effect on market prices. It is better to keep a few inefficient gas turbines online and make sure these are needed at peak hours since they will drive up the market price for all generated power. As long as margin pricing is in place I do not expect something like grid-scale battery storage for peak demand to take hold since that has the potential to drive down prices.

I imagine this might be interesting for domain-specific GPT models. Say training it on a mountain of technical documentation, or on every fanfiction published on the internet, or a sentiment analysis dataset. Of course fine-tuning GPT3 would give better results, but nanoGPT might allow you to make a much smaller model that's still good enough, to enable cheaper inference.

Also the opportunity to play around with all the parameters fairly cheaply to find improvements. The todo section of the readme gives a small taste of that. Making bigger models works for OpenAI, but maybe the rest of us manage to make small models just perform better instead.
