In my experience the senior title is directly related to see problems in a broader scope or total scope. If you're given a sufficiently scoped task then jr/sr should be able to complete it with similar efforts.

Often times tasks are poorly scoped or insufficient research has been done on it. This is where the senior engineer brings his experience in to play to be able to complete it.

To not become irrelevant you need to be familiar not only with the language, but best practices, and external impact and integration of your changes across all levels. Being able to address issues before the QA stage is critical. So it's not just fulfilling the story it's understanding what the story intended to do and possibly revising it.
> unless I go to bed hours after I've eaten I don't sleep and tend to get heartburn

FWIW YMMV going low-carb completely cured my heartburns who were particularly annoying when laying down just like you. I had been taking proton pump inhibitors for 10 years before finding that out. And every time I eat carbs, I need to take antacids. It doesn't seem like it's been studied much, but insulin stimulates the proton pump and the stomach produces more acid.
Even less pedestrian hostile now that cars have to give way to pedestrians simply waiting to cross a road at a junction:

Prioritising the safety of vulnerable Highway users is obviously good, but potentially forcing cars to come to a full stop on a 40 mph road seems like it’s going to cause a fair few high-speed rear end collisions.
I had a similar experience when I got into software.
As a junior, more than once I wished to just to quit the field - even after years of CS studies & it being one of the best opportunities one can have in my area.

The draining nature of the "this is shit, we need to do clean code" and "TDD is the way" discussions being constantly repeated day-in day-out, can quickly kill any interest in working on code. It's not that far from being forced to write a book using a 100 most common word list and if you use any word outside of that, you're a shit writer because it will make it harder for others to read, because you used a word that's not in the most common word list...

I'm quite glad that I moved away from that corporate environment into startup space a year later, which showed a whole different perspective. Where code itself is useless and what mattered is if it delivered value. If your hacky solution can deliver value - then you can justify making it better. Otherwise - who cares.

I do think there's way too much attachment to code & its perceived quality in the dev community. On the other hand, if you work in a team where majority of people are well into their careers - there's a lot more nuance when it comes to the extremes such as "TDD all day all night" and "daily pair programming". They are seen as tools to utilise when appropriate, rather than mantras to be repeated mindlessly.
Reading his mastodon feed, Marcan may be not so different from the maintainers he claims are the issue.

Commercial doesn't mean that it's for mass audiences, it just means that it sells, or that people buy.

Small or large or mass audience targeting (or not targeting) is an adjacent matter to making commerce or not.

Commerce is at root a relationship between someone who provides and someone who provides something else in return.

Artistic vision, craft, authenticity (why, how, what am I doing/saying this?) are orthogonal matters to commerce (what/how do I get in return?).

Show HN: Planlike.pro – New Estimating Tool
Hey folks, want to share the project I've been working on for past few years. It's a project estimation tool which can be applied to pretty much any project, not only software development, but any where you'd want to know cost or time it takes.

Core features:

* Project resources such as engineer, or anybody/anything that you need to include into project

* PDF Export

* Easy features management including drag & drop

* Sorting/filtering/search

* Projects sharing(share with your client via link)
I think it's very important that we have someone willing to put their money where their mouth is.

I've been saying for years that cloud is more cost but you end up needing the same number of people if you have a large enough scope.

Scalability isn't actually all that hard, you solve it in cloud or you solve it in hardware.

People are always very quick to say that running on bare metal means you have to start working in nuclear power plants or CPU lithography from sand. It's intellectually dishonest of course, but we need new players in the game that can't be accused of being old and actually weighing the benefits and drawbacks publicly. So, Bravo.

What he experienced is actually expected, deeper states of meditation bring out even harder experiences. Meditation is marketed in the west as some sort of a relaxation pill, designed to cure anxiety and other mental ailments. It's actually not. Meditation is a hardcore exercise for the mind and if your mind is not strong enough then deeper states will break you.

I can only speak of what I've heard from people I know, but I've not heard anything like this in the USA, though it is a little odd to think of people as young as 14 driving around.

A few friends from remote countryside had relatively easy driving tests, but the easiest-sounding test was my friend from Mumbai (he'd always refer to it as "Bombay" and I never figured out if that was his preference or if he was trying to accommodate us). He said his driving test boiled down to driving round a block and not hitting anything or doing something particularly stupid.

Sounds like your upper chakras opened. Well done on making great progress. Sounds like an amazing experience.

It's no surprise these experiences are often misinterpreted as psychosis by people without an awareness of where deep meditative states can lead.
> Do you think productivity would increase?

How are we planning on measuring productivity of our hypothetical worker, and what kind of job does she do?

If she's stacking supermarket shelves, or picking and packing in a warehouse, or repairing cars, or caring for the elderly, then I think most people would assume her weekly output is basically some fairly standard "unit output/hour" figure, multiplied by the hours she works in that week.

If she works fewer hours, her output decreases.

If she works more hours (subject to limits, and assuming breaks, weekends, and vacation), her output increases.

Here on HN we don't seem to tend to think about (or hear from) people like her, though...

I've used an 8GB M1 Air for the past 2 years and it's totally fine. My brother got the 16GB and there is no noticable difference in performance for any of my usual apps.

Going from 8GB -> 16GB in an M1 just doesn't make much difference, except perhaps for a few specialised apps that require a ton of VRAM.
> I would be curious though if the more expensive and involved driving license in many European countries results in better outcomes though.

It doesn't. UK road fatalities are very low compared to mainland Europe and it doesn't matter much whether your divisor for that stat is number of vehicles or number of miles driven. It's arguable how much of that is down to the driving test and how much down to other factors like rules, rule following behavior, etc etc - but I think at least some of it is.
Over the years I have had many Indian colleagues, however this topic has always been mute, perhaps even tabu.

It's funny that you say you are not an early bird yet for me going to bed at 2300 - 0000 and getting up at 0700 or 0800 is still early.

I consider myself a night owl and if I ever get to bed before midnight I consider this early. I still have to wake up between 0730 and 0800 (because life/obligations) and that is why I am like a zombie half the day.

But no matter how tired I might be through the day, at night something happens and I feel full of energy.

Depends what you consider to be "pedestrian hostile", I guess. There are some countries where the custom is for a pedestrian to see five lanes of traffic and just slowly walk across the road, with the expectation that other drivers will anticipate this behaviour and stop or steer around them. Then again, those countries kill a lot more pedestrians...
>I say this in a parallel comment but there’s both commercial art and creative art and they’re separate things.

They aren't separate things. Plenty of artists - even in purely commercial fields - are creative and passionate about their work.

This bias is unfortunate and nearly omnipresent on Hacker News. It's assumed that to be a "true" artist, one must be willing to suffer, and any artist who makes any money must only be in it for the money. Meanwhile a lot of people here wouldn't so much as get out of bed for a salary with less than six figures, catered lunches, a gym membership, unlimited PTO and a pony, and yet they still consider themselves "knowledge workers" for whom only the purity of information and craftsmanship of code are priorities. But everyone else has be a slave to supply and demand and if that means they can't make a living, tough shit.

Like as not, we live in a capitalist society and passion and talent are commodities like everything else. Good art takes time to learn, time to maintain, time to execute, materials, licenses, etc - all of which cost money. Artists need to eat, they need a roof over their heads, they need to pay taxes. That money can either be made doing what one is passionate about, which means being tainted by capitalism, or doing something else. In which case the art suffers.

AFAIK (and I'd be thrilled to be proved wrong) we still haven't figured out how to solve double-spend using blind signatures without a blockchain and so the schemes I've seen so far invariably involve either that or a trusted mint and are therefore less interesting to use as currency.

Assuming you already have a base digital currency (like bitcoin), they can still be interesting on/as a higher layer.

Before getting my 2021 16" MBP with a M1 Max, I'd read comments like yours and get the idea that I'd be able to encode video without it getting warm :-P This is not the case, at least not with the M1 Max.

It does get warm if we push it hard for a few minutes. This could be easily avoided if Apple started the fans at low speeds earlier, but instead they let the SoC run at 80-90ºC for 2 or 3 minutes before the fans kick in at low speeds and that heat needs to go somewhere. There are 3rd party apps that let you control fan speeds, which is what I do.

With this said, coming from a 2019 16" MBP (Intel) it was a huuuge improvement. The damn thing would get warm doing basic tasks. At full power, it would throttle even with the fans at 100% and because the Intel processor was allowed to use more than the 100W the computer could take, any very long tasks would drain the battery. M1/M2 macs are nothing like that.

"it's still incredibly hard to sleep before 11pm consistently."

I didn't really have that problem. I had one semester that was really had where I would stay up late to do solo projects and coursework. The rest of time it was easy to go to sleep before 11pm. I think the only times that I didn't would have been due to partying, but usually not on a school night.

For the most part, western Buddhism is about good vibes bro and meditating and is, for all intents and purposes, irreligious and more of a general life philosophy (like how waking up at 5 am, jogging, and eating organic isn’t a religion either).

Buddhist buddhism involves demons, hell, and more praying or even chanting than meditating for the general population. Most Buddhists probably don’t meditate at all, actually. Some western Buddhists probably have amulets to ward off demons and make fruit offerings to bodhisattvas, but it’s very uncommon. But it’s the norm in Asia.
Ask HN: Is it possible to have any accuracy in AI?
All examples I've seen about using AI tools focus on tweaking prompts over and over until something kind of like what the author wants is spitted out by AI.

It's very different from learning a programming language with strict rules and expected outcomes.

Are there any AI implmenentations/studies/prototypes that focus on accuracy? Is it even possible with statistical tools?

We've accumulated so much knowledge about dealing with binary systems and I'm wondering where it'll all go now. Are we moving from engineering to playing Shaman with an opaque AI entity?

> Firstly, it's not just a totally neutral act to hatch a plan to juice the numbers to a ridiculous extent and try and dump it onto public markets before it explodes. That's literally an attempt to scam you out of your pension fund.

Sadly that is the entire premise of the Softbank Vision Fund and many others like it.

Masayoshi Son is now personally on the hook for about $5.1 billion on side deals he set up at SoftBank Group Corp.

..As SoftBank grew into a global investor, Son argued the company couldn’t keep talent unless executives were allowed to cut side deals that tied compensation to the company’s performance. That’s exposed him further to the current market downturn.

> the entire plan was that he'd become a billionaire whilst everyone else's pensions would take the hit, and even having failed he walks away a billionaire.

Is that so? When do you imagine Adam Neumann hatched this scheme? At the very conception of WeWork in 2010 when nobody would invest? Truly a supervillain.

Or perhaps four years later when WeWork was "the fastest-growing lessee of new office space in New York" and was on track to become "the fastest-growing lessee of new space in America." By which point everybody was calling him a genius visionary? I don't recall anybody complaining at that point that this company is doomed to fail or anything like that. It appeared to be on an upwards trajectory.

Perhaps he turned to the dark side when SoftBank showed up and demanded they grow the company even faster by throwing money at them? And what was Masayoshi's plan when he invested?

> and even having failed he walks away a billionaire.

What did he fail at specifically? Masayoshi tried to squeeze him out of his own company and Adam called his bluff. So Masayoshi got the press to drag him through the mud and trashed the valuation further in the process. Then covid happened. Had Masayoshi succeeded nothing would change except SoftBank owning a larger percentage. I don't see why you favor one party over the other.

My pension was never invested in any of this and neither was yours. This is as you noted, Saudis, Chinese, Koreans, and JPMorgan attempting to simply buy their way into what seemed at the time a very promising market with their overwhelming cash firepower.

It's only a problem if they experience psychosis in their daily life when they don't want to. Any mental illness is only considered an illness when it causes impairment of function. other than that, probably equivalent to hallucinatory drugs.
By «everybody», you probably mean the most experienced players, since it takes a good 100 hours for a human player to start being competent at the game, while your median player only has 40ish hours under their belt.

AI doesn't come free, GalCiv2 has been built around the AI being competent, but is IMHO a boring game as a result.

I guess I would agree with you for Civ 5 (and 6 ?) where the decision to switch to the 1 unit par tile system has crippled the AI... (while being pushed by Firaxis wanting to make the game more friendly to those sub-median-experience players !) But then I would argue that this system is bad for Civ itself, and this is an outlier.

(There's also the example of both AI Wars being built around embracing that the AI plays a different game, which from I hear works very well. It's questionable how applicable that is to your average 4X.)

I could certainly believe that. Another interesting comparison would be with Portugal, which is in some ways culturally similar to Spain, but maintains UTC.

There is a push in Spain to try and re-align the timezone - see for instance this Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/22/spania...

If the EU plan to abolish the clock-change, and at the same time allow countries to choose which time-zone to adopt actually happens it will be interesting to see if the Spanish government chooses to use this opportunity to switch to UTC.
