More like I'll invest time learning a tool relative to the potential payoff. Right now this tool would be of minimal utility. The vast majority of code I write isn't "make this isolated algorithm more efficient", it's "implement/integrate this new feature into the server cluster". Without deep understanding of the software/server architecture and the ability to derive potential tradeoffs of different approaches, my job cannot be done.

This "if you wait to see results the opportunity will be gone!" mentality is for VCs and other people who's business models require them to be way out on the risk curve, who make a lot of bad calls, but lose relatively little when they fail. It was also partially a product of low interest rates. It is not applicable to most individuals/organizations.
I do super intense conditioning once a week and walk 5 times a week.

People that can't be bothered to even walk are not going to stick to intense workouts. It is completely delusional.

Not to mention, we know these do not train the same energy systems or have the same benefits too.

This whole discussion is dumb.
My money's on Kotlin Cross platform being the viable longterm solution.
No you don't have to overbuild? Just build enough load following.

Storage will waste massive amounts of energy through conversion
I get where you are coming from and generally agree, but I likely would not have experimented with "side project" had I not seen others do so successfully.

The way I look at it - other people have validated that it is possible, which means I do not have to.
I'm not sure if this is a corollary or a counterpoint to what you're trying to say here, but not all agendas are equivalent.

One person's agenda might be to make as much money as possible irrespective of consequences. Another person's agenda might be to decrease asthma rates. The fact that both people have some kind of agenda is basically irrelevant.

This is the same hole as in the classic "both sides" political attitude.
Not sure about the first one. I work for a big company and when we hire we definitely human-read lots of resumes, which isn't to say that machine readable is not a plus. I agree that tailoring may not be worth it.

I'm surprised nobody mentions hobbies etc. Maybe I'm just an old fart but I like to get an idea of the person as well.
How did you achieve 4 days a week? Curious to hear about your strategy.
Not just higher life is plagued by viruses, bacteria as well. And bacteriophages are viruses that only target specific bacteria.

They are among the most abundant "forms of life" in the whole world, as google details:

> There are up to ten times more phages in the oceans than there are bacteria, reaching levels of 250 million bacteriophages per millilitre of seawater.

If we were able to quickly find the right phage for bacteria that causes infection, that bacteria would have no chance. And we do know that for every bacteria there would be infinite phage variants they just can not defend themselves against by design. From what we know bacteria, all life in general will always stay vulnerable to viruses.

The problem is that our science on finding, producing and using bacteriophages is extremely limited for technical and financial reasons.
Fascinating that despite the fact that DEI initiatives would give you a huge advantage you still wouldn't want to be black. I guess that says something.

And FYI that names study has been debunked a number of times. They didn't test stereotypically low class white names like Wilbur, Billy Bob, Roscoe, Harlan etc. for males or Crystal, Daisy, etc. for females.
Not sure why it's downvoted but I'd be also interested to understand how it compares to a real local machine in terms of ... many things

- installing dependencies

- performance

- compatibility

- ...

I read an unrelated comment that installing PostgreSQL "was among the trickiest issue" ... Cool, but no matter the machine, getting a PostgreSQL DB up and running is usually rather straightforward. So, not sure what to exactly think of this but would be happy to hear from someone with hands-on experience.
I can't tell if you're serious or not (the aspire towards part).
20mg Lutein per day. It's a supplement you can buy at many online stores.
This is very true. There need to be a Nix guy in the team to bootstrap and be the evangelist. My experience is that in one week everyone gets very familiar with the workflow, and in 3 months all of my team become experienced Nix users.
I use a Mac app called Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) to control the brightness/contrast of my external monitor. The app uses your location to automatically brighten or dim your monitor depending on the time of day. For me, it’s well worth the money. The developer also promptly replied to a question sent via email and solved my problem.
I think they also learned more about how toxic their active userbase actually is (I don't mean the general readership but people who comment.) You ever read the comments there? It's 100% trash.
Ditto. Even worse, I've tried to sign up for some services which reject the VoIP number and then send that number spam anyway. This has happened with a concert ticketing service and a food delivery app now.

Or you juggle multiple projects that may not be on the same versions of everything. Or you sometimes need to git-bisect back to an older version of your project, which may have older dependencies including e.g. Ruby or Python or Node versions or uses a different and incompatible version of Cmake or whatever, and it's much nicer to have an isolated environment for that, scripted such that it's used automatically, than having to fiddle with the programs actually installed on your dev machine.

And it's nice to have all that work across an entire team, no "works on my machine" weirdness.
I think it's an interesting philosophical question, like how it's presented in Sapiens [1].

But concretely what I mainly mean is, if a company "fails" (and while there's lots of different definitions of failing, let's here take the most extreme one, where the company runs out of money and just has to fold) then it's not like a person is dying. Debt will be restructured, employees can be laid off, it can be bought/assets sold off, and most notably the actual people who profit most off these companies are substantially protected since the incorporation protects their personal assets from liability. Their biggest threat is the loss of stock price they presumably own, and that's a risk profile they've very clearly accepted. So when a company "dies", it's typically not really death in nearly the same sense that we normally think of the word. And it's slow, with (typically) no one person being a big load-bearing point, and tons of options and exit strategies and protections for people's personal affairs.

This resiliency, flexibility, and non-corporealness means companies almost always have more power in negotiations.

Compared to a human of mortal flesh, who typically have somewhere between 0 and a few months of runway before cobra payments and lack of income start to strain spousal relationships, mortgage payments come in danger, etc. And the 1-2 breadwinners, either of whose income loss is an existential risk to the family, are single points of failure if you're laid off or fired. Are typically scrambling to lock in employment again.
Is your comment really necessary?

Psychiatrists (and meds) have saved a lot of people’s lives, both figuratively and literally.

Not sure why you would even mention therapists. Having a trained third party listen and help you navigate things in your life has been a god send for many people I know, including myself.
Yes, I think I phrased it in a wrong way. Sorry for misunderstanding.

What I mean is that there is a point until which the open-source project is not popular enough to be fully supported by the community. If this point takes too long to reach, and there is no way to financially support the project - the project might go bust or stop being maintained. We’ve seen it happen with quite a few even very popular projects.

Which is why personally I think the best way to build a sustainable open source project that is helpful for the community is to provide the most needed functionality for free and find a way to monetize the enterprise-level features.

Because it can makes otherwise simple to treat bacterial infections into an ICU stay. ICUs don't have a lot of spare capacity, and it's difficult to add more.
Ask HN: Best Extensible HTML Editor
What are the best extensible HTML editors that are out there? We are using CKEditor but looking to change as as we are feeling limited by it currently. All suggestions welcome. Ideally looking for a google docs like editor experience minus some of the bells and whistles.
You just proved his point. If two people eat 10,000 calories and the one with type 1 diabetes is passing most of it as waste but the other person is storing that in the form of glucose and fat, then CICO is broken in that example. But like you say, account for such factors and the principles hold true; how do we know there aren't factors yet to be discovered?

This. There are 10000 children's books out there with coherent art sets and a storyline that's not just total gibberish.

You say it's not novel, but I loved the twist where they decided to open a theme park.
First of all, these are valid feelings so don't just discard them. They are normal. They reflect your values. You want your life to have meaning, you want to have an impact on the world, you want to be happy. These are good things. They get you out of bed each day and motivate you.

Now, just learn to tone your emotional response to these thoughts from 100% to like 20%. Remember that your desire to grind is rooted in positive values, but don't let them run amok and take over your life. Acknowledge them, but realize they are not the be-all end-all.

You can’t break the “model” as it is basic thermodynamics.

That doesn't look anonymous

Absolutely agree, anything p2p is not anonymous. The only semi-anonymous things I have seen are incredibly slow however Tor, I2P, Freenet and even those are not entirely anonymous and adoption is even lower with those protocols and platforms.

What architectural concepts do you propose that are both fast and anonymous?
Maybe so, but traditional left-wing thinking would put Silicon Valley engineers firmly in the bourgeoisie—a group that pretends to have interests in common with the proletariat, but doesn't really. If it is class war, you guys really aren't on the same side as your nannies, cleaners, gardeners, dog-walkers, and people serving food in your free cafeterias. Their interests are very different, even if it pleases you to think defending your elite benefits somehow helps them too.

It seems lots of people commenting here want Google to be a sinecure program for superfluous engineers. They're ardently pro-capitalist when it comes to startups and VC money and fleecing the proles with predatory advertising. But curiously left-wing and we're-all-in-this-together when their privileges are threatened.
Coinbase is down 88% from all time highs, and slightly less from its IPO. Coinbase has an $11.6b market cap which means he extracted a little under 1% of the entire company’s value in two years.
I learned about Flanderization [0] on HN recently and was surprised to read that Rick and Morty is a show that consciously tries to avoid it.

Honestly, I think they’ve done a pretty good job and as a result the show still feels fresh and entertaining in the 6th season. But I imagine that’ll be quite a bit harder without Justin.

Whatever they were doing they had a formula for making some dang good tv. R&M is far better than any other adult cartoon I’ve seen, to the point that I think it might be one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen.

Here’s to hoping that Justin gets in a better spot, and the next few seasons of R&M don’t pull a Game of Thrones.

Phages are not the silver bullet that people think they are.

First they're difficult to make and store (antibiotics are mostly shelf stable... phages aren't). Second, they are not broad spectrum. Third, (at least in the US) phage therapy hasn't taken off because the initial forays into phages showed that they can cause reactions. Lastly, not all bacteria have phage counterparts.

So if you even could use phages, you're looking at weeks of testing to determine what bacteria to target, before production. You could keep a library of phages for known bacteria, but that library would be highly specific.
On the bright side, Coinbase launched a lot of high-value new products during the last two years that will help the company thrive and grow in the coming years.

Still, especially until the 3 years mark I wouldn't consider childcare.

Before that time they are really attached to the parents. Then around 3 they make friends, so it's easy at that point
Not an exact answer to your question, but there are many projects and companies that use django. One site that highlights it is "Built with Django" [1].

No sympathy for the average American worker, who is impacted even more so by inflation, which robs them of their life savings and job security at their min wage job. Over-entitled and over payed young tech workers who have displaced poorer people and haven’t been astute enough to save their extravagant salaries, spending it instead on $30 door dashed organic salads now want to bleat about how “boo hoo life isn’t fair.” They are correct but too stupid to blame the real culprit. It’s the fed dummies! The fed givith and then taketh away. A tale as old as time. If you don’t understand how economics 101 works, you probably didn’t deserve your high paying tech job, to say nothing of being an actual participant in society and voting in elections, where guess what, you can have a say in fiscal and monetary policy decisions once removed.
It's not just that, I'm afraid:

But SSRIs reverse depression symptoms, they don't prevent it from happening in the first place. so the mechanism would have to be not just protection but some kind of restoration or rebalancing, maybe by selectively protecting some bacteria but not others. That seems a little less plausible to me.

I don’t know how I feel about this post. On one hand, if I were running a company, I would want a hiring process similar to this.

On the other hand, the company I work for has draconian publishing policies. I can’t have a technical blog, can’t have GitHub repos of hobby projects I work on my own time, can’t write about any of the work I do on my resume. If I want to contribute to other repos, I need an approval for legal which takes forever and if you’re lucky enough to get it, you have to write “not a contribution” in the submission. When asked about what to write in the resume, they say to copy the job posting (or parts of it) I was initially hired for.

Aside from these crazy policies, I love working at my current workplace but sometimes I wonder if I’m hurting my future by staying on and letting my resume for these years spin into a black hole.
insulin can cost thousands of dollars per month and it is an indispensable drug. Big Pharma actually raised the prices of insulin in recent years by 50%. so all that extra compensation literally just goes to drug costs.
> If the product hadn't been successful, it would have been worth nothing. It's not a mystery at all.

The stock is down -84.99% from IPO, seems like so far (accordingly shareholders and the financial market), the product is indeed not very successful because if it was, the price would go up, not down.

So he did a poor job, and now when sold his part of it, he got $105M.
One very small tip - don't overdo it in selling your accomplishments. I see surprisingly many resumes with the words "vast experience", and they're usually obvious bullshit.
Wrong. I've been a hiring manager at a place with >100 engineers and a recruiting team and

- I still read every resume

- I ignored the keywords

- I pretty much valued exactly what the author does.
Yes, they are real. It will stop ranking them after a few pages because the results become worse and it becomes too expensive to rank.
Privilege is necessarily a comparative concept.

Most people in America are privileged compared to a rural Chinese farmer.

The median Google employee is privileged compared to average American citizens.

It's healthy to acknowledge this.
Yeah, this was fixed, supposedly, on Monterey.

Learn and extrapolate are contradictions of instinct and instantly.

No.

The learning and extrapolation is instinctive. You don't have to teach an infant how to learn.

Once an infant has developed into a child, the extrapolation starts to occur very quickly --- nearly instantaneously.

Biggest productivity boosters for me:

- devdocs.io for pytorch

- conda for packaging w CUDA

- einops

- tensorboard

- huggingface datasets

Interesting models/structures:

- resnet

- unet

- transformers

- convnext

- vision transformers

- ddpm

- novel optimizers

- generative flow nets

- “your classifier is secretly an energy-based model and yiu should treat it like one” paper

- self-supervision

- distance metric learning

Places where you can read implementations:

- lucidrains’ github

- timm computer vision models library

- fastai

- labml (annotated quite nicely)

Biggest foreseeable headaches:

- not suuper easy to do test-driven development

- data normalization (floating point error, not using eg batchnorm)

- sensitivity of model performance to (hyper)params (layer sizes, learning rates, optimizer, etc)

- impatience

- lack of data

I’d also recommend watching Mark Saroufim live code in PyTorch, on YouTube. My 2 cents, you can only get really fast as well as good at this with a lot of experience. A lot of rules-of-thumb have to come together just right for the whole system to work.
The only one I can think of is Stadia... which was killed this week.
The main problem of hobbies is that I typically don't think they matter enough to deserve space on the single page of your resume. I'm not even a decade into my career and I'm already considering cutting my college stuff down to "COLLEGE NAME YEARS ATTENDED DEGREE GPA HONORS" in a single crammed line. I think I'd put down my in-major GPA and emphasis courses before I'd put down that I like video games and my cats (.....which let's be real, you can probably just assume is in the hobbies for software engineers).

GPT-like entities have already allowed my grandiosity to think of itself in Harry Potter's cosmoverse, and I am now a legitimate "Spell Crafter".

I think that part of my abilities/impact is that I can ask existential questions of humanity [as an autistic(HF) person with knowledge but no code schooling], and have reasonable roll-playing experiences which help me IRL to accomplish / solve daily nuisances. A comment elsewhere begs "a solution in search of a problem" [and I chose not even to engage with that person because I already have such easy, inexpensive access to an entire teams-worth of research assistants... and it costs almost nothing to operate indefinitely]. Solutions are real, they are here, and exist. The scary thing now is that this is going to allow rapid exploration, that is only limited by human creativity (which is already rare enough among us biological meatbags).
+1. Hope they have multiple tiers based on usage, etc.

At $10, it's a no-brainer for me.

At $15, I would still get if they promise to not learn 'about me' from it.

I'll be happy to pay $42 also provided I am able to gain more productivity by using it.
It would also explain why SSRIs take time to work - as I understand it the SSRI action is immediate and yet it takes weeks for people to notice the effects.
If you are applying to work at this company, this is probably good advice. If you're applying to work at most companies, ignore this advice. Everything he writes here makes sense, which is why you know that in our nonsensical industry, it is a waste of your time to put it into practice.
I know Azure generally sucks... If you think you cannot go lower, you should try Oracle Cloud. That is a total piece of dung of a Cloud Service.

I tried it a couple of years ago. After finishing the trial, I removed all instances and disks, supposedly completely blanking the account. And also supposedly deleted the account.

To this day, I still keep receiving some kind of invoice for about $2 USD that they say I owe. And when I login into the "oracle cloud account" nothing works because my account seems to be half-deleted. (like I get error screens when accessing several of their piece of shit panels).

To make things worse, suddenly I started receiving emails from some of their sales team in Portuguese, I guess that my last name sounds kind of Portuguese so someone say, yeah, you write to him.

And while using their system I was not really impressed. Their cost structure was weirder than AWS (and that's saying something) and to mount a volume in an instance you had to do some funky commands.

I would NEVER trust business technology to that sort of system.
