“By “meditating” I mostly mean sitting around with my eyes closed. I haven’t done any research at all on what meditation is supposed to be. Apparently there’s a million different styles of it, so I’m just going to go ahead and call what I do meditation too, fight me.”

I can’t tell if he is serious. This didn’t help me take him seriously.
I dont know if the take is as hot as you think. Meditation is cool and good (I try to do it) but it's not the panacea that, like all new age things, the average hacker news reader thinks it is.

Optimizing sleep improves productivity. Not a hot take. I don't know anyone who enjoys blowing an entire day sleeping. Do you? Perhaps people who are ill (whether they know or not) need 12-14 hours of sleep a day but a normal healthy person can get by on 6-8 with 7 being the recommended median for most people.

Psychological health is the hardest problem we face. The entire field of mental health is rife with fraud. Psychology as a "science" suffers from one of the greatest reproducibility failures we have witnessed. We have legitimately no idea why "mental health" is a problem in 99% of cases and our medicines and treatments are only marginally better than electroconvulsive therapy and divination to drive bad spirits away. We have, for example, almost no idea how and why SSRIs work. Many anti-depressant studies fail to reproduce. We often overmedicate people who just have a little sadness resulting in even more difficult and sometimes fatal problems. The only other field with more problems is chiropractic which, by my estimation, is only marginally less scientific than psychology. In fact if I pulled a random psychology study and compared it's reproducibility to a study on cracking people's spines to fix slipped discs I'd imagine they'd be similarly impossible to reproduce.

Davinci resolve is great for prosumers and hobbyists.

Youtube is awash with Davinci Resolve tutorials for everything from basic non-linear video editing to compositing, sound editing and grading.

The basic version is free, and the paid version is a one-time $300, or 7.5 months of Adobe Premiere+After Effects or Audition.

BlackMagic also produce gear like the atem mini beloved by streamers and the BMPCC (blackmagic pocket cinema cameras) that are very much aimed at prosumers.

If any one needs to edit any video, even just a short recreational youtube video, I point them towards Davinci, because the price is right and there are so many tutorials.

Beyond the much needed regenerative medical procedures, limb/organ reconstruction through "API" calls to the cells that 'know' how to build an arm, an eye, a spleen, and so on, it is the breakdown of the dichotomies taken for granted, human/machine, just physics/mind with an agent, and to speak instead of agential materials [1], which fosters a new type of endeavour, one which will be needed very soon if our CPUs start speaking to us.

As an aside I guess, I have noticed recently how much worse the search actually is. I'm not even referring to the adds, simple things around library documentation for example, where I would always find the best results up top to close to, now I get quite unrelated results, not even containing the phrase/function name I'm searching.

This is not because the info is not indexed or is behind a walled garden though, I now have to find the source website and go directly to their docuemtation myself, or their github. It's not an 'issue' but defeats the purpose of google search itself.

In a strange change for me particularly, for news/general info I actually will search through sites like reddit or twitter to get some actual targeted results.

OpenAI may have data, but ChatGPT does not have data in a representation that we can read or easily extract. It's not like you could ask OpenAI or ChatGPT to delete selected data within the model, that's not how it works.
This article commits the most annoying [to me] error in financial reporting: it compares a debt [rupees] with GDP [rupees per year], comparing two quantities with different units.

Certainly factor/retroforth, Forth is too low level to be useful, but with support for quotations and streams, factor/(retro?) might be good, dealing with series a la rebol is also a good idea. Unfortunately all of those languages are kind of dead.

The interesting thing is that pipes behave in an rpn like fashion, but standard behavior is prefix based, So a rebol like language should be the normal operation, and then it changes to rpn when you pipe, the only languages I see implementing this is rye, which is highly experimental.

Powershell is also a really good option, at least for what OP wants, I like terseness. I can read bash code fine enough, until someone starts golfing, but that's true of all languages. python also has xonsh.
Thanks for your reply. I agree about (1). I have checked the datasets I have set up search for, and they either have no or under 1% of documents with more than 65535 words. (This is without any processing to break up the documents into sections.)
It's crypto related but a bit on its ear, but AML/KYC firms (disclosure, I work for one that got bought by Mastercard) take a more rigorous, and less hype-centric approach (mostly because it's about Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism funding on Crypto, than about Crypto itself). Lot's of data, lots of interesting problems.

> I'll admit that I haven't even figured out what it means for anything to "know" something.

I think that a core part of what it means to "know" something, is also an understanding of "not knowing". If you provide ChatGPT with insufficient data, it doesn't ask you to clarify anything to fill in the dots or try to eliminate a possible misunderstanding. It just, as you nicely put it, completes the sentence as best it can.

Ask a curious human a logical question or puzzle, and they'll often reply with a bunch of follow ups to fix what they assume to be a lack of knowing.
Try to produce as much as I consume. Getting an iPad recently is really helping with this, because I can whip it out during every quiet moment on a train or a tram, and type towards finishing a book I'm working on, rather than doomscrolling instagram which is what everyone else seems to do in that downtime. At least by the end I'll have a bad book out of it, everyone else will have little.

Gustavo has created superb courses around Maths and Physics of game development.

I did 2 of his courses and RoI in terms of learning is huge. The crucial point is: he starts with an empty file and codes up the stuff with you at an understandable pace, line by line. A lot of concepts I just understood in hand-waving sense became much more clearer after going through this routine.

I'm planning to next take his Physics course but maybe code it up in Rust so that I'm not re-inventing some wheels (like dynamic arrays). But if anyone wants to brush up on most important pieces of maths: vectors, matrices, calculus I will heartily recommend his courses.

New data providers need a schema and an Adapter implementation.

For Rust, this is the Adapter trait that data providers need to implement: https://docs.rs/trustfall_core/latest/trustfall_core/interpr...

This is the equivalent abstract class in Python: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall/blob/pytrustfall-v0....

For Python, the package docs have some (underwhelming) additional examples of building a schema and passing an adapter to use to run a query: https://pypi.org/project/trustfall/

The process in Rust is equivalent, here's the code powering the demo in the talk: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall/blob/main/demo-hytra...

I realize this is all extremely suboptimal, but like I said, I wasn't ready Please stay tuned! I'm planning to spruce all of this up in the coming weeks!

> Despite the abundance of companies that have trouble hiring good people, there just aren’t that many who care about it enough to respect the people they are trying to hire and give them a full picture of who they are and what they want to do.

Having been an engineering leader in growing companies that didn’t (don’t) have a problem hiring enough good people, I’m a little sad the “secret” is out. Indeed, having genuine respect for people is magic.
It's hard to tell, but I wouldn't be surprised, given "I've created an extension to overcome ChatGPT's limitations. Do check it out." at the top.

I asked ChatGPT which parts were most likely AI assisted:

> The parts that were most likely written with help from ChatGPT are the definitions of the three types of hackathons, the explanation of the hidden agendas in external corporate hackathons, and the description of the negative consequences of hackathons for management and developers. The language and tone in these sections are more neutral and informative, compared to the more opinionated and critical tone used in the rest of the article. This suggests that the writer may have asked ChatGPT for definitions and explanations, but expressed their own opinions and experiences in the rest of the article.
What you say may or may not be true, but it is beside the point.

The point is that the USA, or any country, has the right to deny it's airspace to anyone. There is no rule that just because we let it fly through Montana that means the USA has to let it fly anywhere.

There are all kinds of instances of the USA being denied use of another country's airspace. I'm not quite sure on the exact situation as it was a while ago, but I think during Gulf War I, or maybe II, Turkey would not let the USA take off from Incerirlick Air Base to bomb Iraq.

Ah, here it is,they closed their airspace for a while in Gulf War II - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/mar/20/iraq.helenasmi...

It seems like you are giving China a pass to me.

>If it was a serious threat to US national security, it would have been blown up over Alaska

Nope. USA has the right to do it anywhere. We don't know the strategy. Maybe there was some global strategic reason or tactical reason, or who knows? Neither of us is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or are the Secretary of Defense. What do we know? All I know is that the USA can shoot down any aircraft, at any time, for any reason, if it doesn't file a flight plan and let the USA know the purpose. That I know. But you saying "If it was a serious threat to US national security..." is silly. You are not the Secretary of Defense. How would you know? Or anyone know, unless privy to that information?

That's how it works.

While that may be true, my experiences from Motorola 68k times still make me shiver. 68k used just bottom 24 bits for an address. Later models used full 32 bits, breaking anything that used the top 8 bits for something else.

The introduced incompatibility was that bad and hard to get rid of.

So pardon me for feeling uneasy.

I hope so or unless Google changes "back" to when it actually did what I told it to. This might sound weird but one of my skills is that I know (or knew) how to use Google. I would not just type in whatever I needed to find, I would know to exclude specific terms using "-term", put parts of a sentence in quotation marks, add other terms I knew would be on the site where the answer could be found and whatnot. The search is then very specific and if I didn't get a satisfying answer it was because I needed to improve my query. Now whenever I do that, Google takes this query and modifies it without me knowing what they're actually doing. It seems harder and harder to tell Google to just work like it used to.

Luckily for us I think regulation is starting to go the other way. Also, I think of this more as a browser play than anything -- as much as people are locked into applications, more and more functionality is being allowed into the browser (look at the games and demos you can run in it today, and how well responsive sites can work) -- at some point the browser will be such a good platform that we might get another shot at adopting it.

The discourse around data safety and privacy has also developed -- not to a point that people care, but to a point that privacy can be a marketing term at least without being associated with criminality.

The practical advantages of tiny dumb phones outweigh the technical disadvantages. There are 2 kinds of trip:

A - I travel across the city to visit friends/family/work or go somewhere far but familiar.

B - I travel across the country or for an extended period of time.

A dumb phone will cover A and a smart phone will cover B. The switching of sims is a non-issue as situation A covers almost all of the time.

For exercise, I just found that eliminating the concern of what to listen to was the real gain

If we’re going to assert the inalienable right of free speech, then arguably free speech is such an important cornerstone of society that we should think long and hard before letting any company have such influence in that sphere to begin with.

To me the big glaring central point here is that everyone uses big tech platforms. It’s just a fact of life. If you tell people, sorry, I don’t use Facebook, I use some wonky alternative instead, can you add me there? you’ll get weird looks. I think it’s insane to just ignore that elephant and continue studiously down the path of, well, they’re a private company and therefore are entitled to publish whatever they want.

When we established the precedent that private entities can say what they want, we clearly didn’t have Facebook in mind. Like there is just intuitively an obvious difference between a private journal deciding what to write about and a huge platform everyone uses deciding what to pass through or not. The state of the law doesn’t currently reflect this but that doesn’t mean the difference doesn’t exist.
If there is a way of doing it without inversion it's probably more accurate - some people go out of their way to formulate methods without inversion to reduce inaccuracies.
