You're 23. Not to sound condescending, but I know it will a little bit, you're missing out on the life experience to properly judge the effect of grit.

Self-discipline is something that lasts a lifetime not one or two years and if you can't persist past one or two years you've not developed it and not understood what it is. Again I believe that stems from youth and it's not a wrong to have that perspective when you're young I know I had that perspective at your age as well.

Grit and self-discipline help you understand you do the things you must do because they allow you to do those things you want to do. You don't have to find a joy every thing you do you don't even have to in your job thinking that your job or the method in which you earn money must provide you some sort of self-satisfaction is wrong-headed thinking and has not been true for all of time and it makes no sense that it should be true today. If you're lucky it's true most people aren't lucky. So you do what you must to earn the income the level you need to be able to do those things that you enjoy.

There is a primary fallacy that people always say when they think they need some self satisfaction from a job they say money doesn't buy happiness. And while that statement in and of itself is true the way it's used is missing the point. Money allows you the freedom to find happiness in ways that you can not when you're poor. Money buys freedom. So you can do a job that you hate that makes you a lot of money but that's not your life If your life is to climb mountains that job provides you the ability to do that because now you have the monetary resources to travel the world and climb mountain and take the time off that you need. That's great understanding that I will do a job that I hate the best of my ability because it provides me the means to do the things that give me satisfaction in life.

I have cracked open my computer mice and have glued pennies inside to add weight.
This is perhaps better as a resource to feel better after dealing with someone's Gish gallop at a dinner party or whatever. It probably won't help you convince a movement skeptic.

Fighting skeptics is playing in their court. If you honestly believe we are heading to crisis, we need to work on actions and lobbying to implement them. The more time you spend debating the less you have to act.

Finally, skeptics don't lose when they're proven wrong. We all do, but it becomes the new normal, and the skeptic gets to continue to believe whatever they want and feel superior. Keep moving forward, don't try to hold terrain.
Been exacly there when I was 25. Breakup after 5 years of first serious relationship, nearing the end of a phd. It sucked. I'm now 15 years past that and my life couldn't be better.

This is what I did: 1. I got a new hobby involving regular workouts and which was somewhat social with new people. Never really did sports before that, but this really helped me from getting isolated from society. I found new friends and got in shape. There is many of those, kayaking, rowing, soccer, ultimate, ... pick any one. Even running groups could work. Many evenings I came home tired after training, sometimes crying from heartburn, but that eventually passed. And 2. I finished the phd and then got a job in a different country, awesome place, new surroundings, own apartment, new colleagues, new life. This is rather easy with a phd. I didn't really click with my field either, but the decision to power through the last 1-2 years and just wrap it up and then move on was gold. That's what a phd signifies to a new employerand also yourself: You can finish something and power through, even if in tough moments. Every phd has those. Finally, after moving and new job and gotten in shape, got friends and a new relationship and it's great. I didn't have to fight for the latter, it just came autotomatically with new self confidence and casting a wide net. (I'm not really the social type.)

So, let your future self in 15 years tell you: this will all pass, you have a great future ahead!

P.S.: I also read self-help stuff and relationship advice and psychology. The moment I stopped, I started to feel so much better. It just reminded me how crappy I felt. Constantly. Once I threw this out I could embrace my new hobby and new beginnings. There will be throwbacks and evenings where you don't do anything but cry and eat chips. That's ok. Just don't let it consume you and steadily move on.
In the article it says, explicitly, that what it is doing is doing bounded box person detection
Maybe something less "other worlds"?

These should all be suited to a 12 years old, though of course it is up to you:

Anything over a $20 bill has been hard to use in many/most stores for a very long time in the US (which seemingly at one point decided to freeze currency denominations in amber--see also penny--which I assume is permanent at this point as less and less cash gets used). But $100 bills at least were in pretty common use overseas. I still tend to carry some as backup cash.
Lol yeah, maybe GPT4 and the likes will do this but chatGPT is still way to unreliable
This is a nice collection of facts and figures and reasoning.

But why would a “climate skeptic” care about all that?

If you have two camps fighting each other facts are only useful when the own worldview is supported. Everything else is discarded as propaganda, false facts or conspiracy.

What I would like to have seen is how to really convince skeptics: By instilling doubt.

It’s much more subtle. It’s also much less fact driven.

I haven’t found a good source on that.
That's only if it's being used to circumvent copyright?
This is great. However, he omitted one I encountered a need for pretty recently and have so far not found a good solution:

How do you count the number of bits which have been set in a bitfield of type uint32_t?

I couldn't find any x64_64 intrinsics for this, which would probably be incredibly efficient.
Anyone who disagrees with you is wrong. Don’t bother talking to them.
How is my job my personality? Lol ... I do code a lot in my free time, started coding at 14 years old and I contribute to open source as well. Pretty closed minded thinking to be honest.
Yeah, me too. I honestly rather enjoy and appreciate her answers, and it's nice to have links to where she got her info from (because she has made a few mistakes). But, yes, the 'eerie fun' of interacting with her is gone. And having to 'sweep' away our conversations after 8 replies is infuriating because I've been able to have some very normal and quite helpful conversations with her that I really wanted to continue. Oh well. Hopefully all these issues get sorted out over the coming weeks/months!
Justified in the sense that we should accept that there is no other purpose to life or existence then to shop?
I haven't been following Bing Chat. So Microsoft "restricted the model's ability to express emotions" according to Wikipedia. Any HN users find it to be less useful/interesting? I haven't tried out the beta.

Edit: found an older HN thread about this and people don't seem to be happy about it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34842482
> 95% of that unhappiness seems to be due to mixed signed/unsigned expressions with implicit conversions. Java wouldn't be forced to repeat the mistake of making conversions implicit.

Yes and no. As Stroustrup's document says, this is an inevitable result of allowing arithmetic on unsigned integers (i.e. subtracting an unsigned int variable with the value 2 from an unsigned variable with the value 1 has the same effect as explicitly mixing it with a signed integer by adding a -2). The only way to avoid that is to add runtime underflow checks to unsigned arithmetic. Once we have user-defined value types, people can choose to do just that, but there seems to be little point in adding it to the core language; the cost/benefit just isn't there.

> overflowing your signed integer is almost certainly wrong as well.

True yet less likely because most integer values appearing in programs are small, and so underflows are more common than overflows.
Yeah there are some pieces missing with it, it’s till not really understanding mutations and state which would be needed, but it’s a huge step in the right direction
I love this one!
Even worse, even if we reach our goals the skeptics will say: "I knew there would be no catastrophe, I was right all along"
Wow. Just rewrite GitHub in web3? On it!
As a high concept title, this headline even beats “Cocaine Bear”
Heap trees would be less efficient with trits. What do you mean "most efficient of all integer bases"?
Not just England, try Scotland and some of its Islands.

Not just that. Conrad is pretty controversial these days in certain circles. Many people consider "Heart of Darkness" to be racist. I think another male author would have been passed over without remark.
Right, it's a constant process of getting messy and cleaning it up again. Speaking of which, brb ... cleaning my desk now haha. But the main difference is: I have my keyboard, mouse, closed macbook, a plant, and a big curved ultra-wide monitor on my desk. The rest is temporary clutter. Daniels desk however is full of "full-time tenants". I guess that's the difference.
Could be worse, also 28 and I just got laid off after my first year of being a technical product manager. I have a somewhat scattered three years of dev experience prior, although around 2yrs was my longest stint.

Been applying to jobs for about five weeks and other than a few interviews nothing has kicked back. Either no response or flat out denied, contemplating just re-learning a bunch of leetcode stuff I hate. All of my friends make north of $200k and I've just been floundering.

Future does not seem bright - clearly my track record is a black mark of some kind.

Hope things get better for you my friend.
The commentary on this phenomenon is an example of itself.
Interesting, but not surprising for a language where functions were "hashed" as their identifier's string length. Do you have a link?
King, I dropped out of my PhD (probably shouldn't have, but I don't regret it because the build back is going really well, I moved back from America, was unemployed for a few months).

I know this will sound wildly out of order, but do start working out. It's been crazy how much of my self esteem and idea about myself changed. Like transforming your body will legit give you confidence about other stuff.

Next is try to move into research that's very 'employable', employable likely means that the research holds a huge amount of value to society, internalizing that will prevent you from questioning how meaningful it all is (academia often isn't but by building skills, you derive meaning in a sort of preparatory way)

Lastly get off twitter and stuff. Even HN if you can.

All the best! Keep in mind rooting for strangers is a common human impulse and a bunch of ppl are doing it for you.
I was you once in the same place you are now. I can tell you that it gets better.
The tldr is that you have to change your perspective. Sounds so easy right?
Fortunately it is the only thing you have any control over.

So what you need to do is work on and develop your sense of self and self esteem.

The rest of life is about accepting uncertainty of everything else. For example, when you get older you realize that you can't even make your kids like you, you certainly can't control them.

So whatever you do, choosing or not choosing is your choice.

Some things that have helped me:

Listen to the audiobook "I don't want to talk about it" by Terrence Real.
Keep doing the therapy and maybe find another therapist if the one you have isn't helping.
It sounds like you are cerebral so you may need to read a lot of self-help books and understand the theory behind psychotherapy to get some relief. You might even be smarter than your therapist. Ask your therapist what books they recommend. Here you are using them as a professional resource.

You might not be able to think yourself out of depression. Thinking your way out is what CBT is all about. You might need to retrain your body and nervous system too. This is what breath work, meditation, cold exposure, exercise, volunteering and sports are all about.

Give your body a break and stop drinking alcohol and doing any drugs. Get good sleep and most importantly eat well.

Learn breath work, meditation and cold water exposure (this is an ongoing thing, not necessarily a cure all but part of the process). It helps you regulate anxiety.

Journal your thoughts, write in the 3rd person about yourself, ask a friend what they like about you. Write about your accomplishments.

Take a vacation, go visit some of your international friends.
Remember that it is ok to take a break. Sometimes you need that break to harness the vast meta-cognitive properties our brain has to reason about things. People always say they had great insight in the shower, or on the beach. Give yourself the space to disconnect.

Help others volunteering, join a men's group, play a sport, exercise. It helps to get outside of your head. Maybe your school has group therapy for PhDs, see what your therapist says.

As you do all of these things your perspective will shift.
I don’t particularly care if humans are a cause of climate change or any of the other debated topics in the sphere of climate science. I want a clean planet for my kids/grandkids/their grandkids, so I want legislative and foreign policies that support that. Some things are a lot more important than economic growth.
Then how does the cash get into Tether?
I will try not to judge your situation, even if I may disagree with your assessment of it.

When I was in rehab for drug addiction, after I hit my bottom (or what I hope was my rock bottom), something I learned was to try and approach something in the smallest increments possible and to acknowledge / celebrate wins (no matter how small).

Maybe this doesn’t apply to your situation, as my primary goal was to stop my substance abuse but if you can try to tackle your problem(s) in small increments, it might feel more manageable.

Best of luck!
It seems like you’re bringing your own bias in here, as I have no idea how you reached your conclusion that Meta engineers are only good at leetcode from that article.

With that being said, Facebook had quite a culture of dogfooding the many years I worked there. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but I would imagine it is. In this case, the metaverse was a stark departure from the core Facebook product suite, and its importance was dictated top-down. I could see a lot of engineers uninterested in engaging beyond the necessary because of that. Contrary to Zuck’s belief, it is important to work to get employee buy in on a vision, otherwise people won’t put real effort toward achieving that vision. A lot of C suite tend to think they can steer the ship anywhere they want and employee morale or pushback is just an irrelevant externality.
Therapy, meds, support groups on Reddit, and exercise are the best thing you can do to deal with childhood trauma. It actually seems to get worse if you don’t manage it, I probably only really started attacking my trauma at 28/29. Made a big difference in personal and professional success.
I just found contexts and it's fantastic, it's just like alt tab but also comes with a spotlight esq quick switcher and supports vim jk by default. It's also really useful for switching between desktops by turning "reduce motion" on.

"By calling econ 'dismal science', adherents exaggerate; the 'dismal' is fine, it's 'science' where they patently prevaricate."
I was only arguing the "I can't tell whether someone's feelings are valid or not" part, not particularly defending the original comment.

That said even if the original comment is insulting and doesnt make its author look great, its factual analysis is spot on. An I also do think that being too nice and catering to everyone's feeling all the time is actually a WORSE type of violence than just being tough and straightforward, especially when it's based on something real. A loser that doesnt know he is a loser should be told he's a loser because he can change after. He will never improve if you never tell him. Personally there are a bunch of stuff I absolutely wish someone has told me a few years back ...
I use shortcuts extensively too. And sometimes work exclusively on my laptop.

That said, it's helpful to be able to use my project while seeing all the logs involved. And that gets extremely claustrophobic on a laptop. Especially if you have an application that is heavy on both the client and server side - chrome, chrome devtools, re-frame-10x sidebar debugger, server side logs/debugger.

It gets even worse when I'm working on one project, which is a client/server game using Unity.

> Mostly I find it annoying because I forget where I put my applications if I have two monitors.

Your applications should always be in the same place. You can still use keyboard shortcuts too.

Beyond that, because when I first got a 30" monitor it was so much real estate and it took so long to move my mouse between windows, I wrote a little program that let me set and restore mouse positions with global hotkeys. It will also bring whichever window is under the mouse position to the front.

So I can see all logs at once as I'm interacting with the project. Including the debugger. Everything always goes in the same spot. And if I want to interact with one of those windows, I can use a hotkey which will instantly set my mouse cursor to a known good position within that window, which enables me to interact with even a GUI in a reproducible fashion rather than having to slow boat my cursor over to it.
Nope, because Emacs.
You don't.

"Why did you suddenly download and install tor at 2am?"

"I wanted to watch a weird porn and didn't want anyone else to know"

Don't inconvenience your entire life for strictly theoretical situations.
This does kind of work but you're still restricted to 8 messages before the whole dom changes and prevents any further interaction.
To everyone providing testimony such as "I don't use an external monitor and I'm fine" (or not), please mention whether you're using a laptop stand and/or separate keyboard/mouse.
I assume that, as in the US, SI units are used in many scientific and technical contexts.
Very good metaphor.
It’s an entertaining rant but every sentence made me think ‘Citation needed.’
It depends entirely on volume of messages vs available memory (ram or disk) how outrageous it is
The 3DS didn’t do anything for me and a large part of the population. The same goes for the 3D glasses that went out of style years ago. The main thing it did was give me and others a headache. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have been a fad.

Other than this demo, the only 3D effects that actually work (ie 3D movies) are in VR
I've been working (software) on only my mbp for the last few years and haven't seen any real impact to my productivity. You just get more efficient at navigating a small space. It's nice to not feel like I'm missing anything when working in coffee shops or on workcation trips.
The proposed method would improve the model anytime the model didn’t know which api to use. This requires the model to not hallucinate knowledge and some form of incremental training.
A noble goal for sure. How do you decide how much to value co2 reduction over clean water or clean air or nature preservation?

Should all of our environmental energy be on co2?
To be fair, this isn't an Android problem as much as it is a carrier problem.

There's technically no reason they can't pass through the raw media sent by MMS, but as a result of lack of engineering talent, cutting corners and technical debt, it is mangled and recompressed to potato quality before being delivered.

This problem would also affect iPhones that don't use iMessage.
Thanks for the very in detail explaination, great help! It's insane to think we can run a 175B parameter model on a consumer card (with enough time). Will def. look into "offline execution engine" type of use cases, though with more than 8GB of VRAM
The other front runner is the subject of the bill for registering bloggers who criticize him, and has championed a lot of other ways to punish his political opponents. He also is very likely to seek to quash elections that go against him.

One or the other is very likely to be the nominee. And because this behavior is very popular there a very good chance they will win the general election.
Why does the headline say 10btc but the tweet (is that a tweet?) claim 1b SATS?
You think infinite growth with finite resources is possible? This should be good.
I don’t think Horizon Worlds failed because of technical problems, but rather because it was ill conceived to begin with. In that case you might blame Mark Zuckerberg and the one bit of agency the employees have is to move on to another project.

Think of a movie. A movie has many specialists such as cinematographers, editors, sound engineers, makeup artists, grips, costume designers, colorists, casting director, actors, etc. These people can be great at their specialized work but if the script of the movie is bad it will be a bad movie despite that.
> Failed relationships (romantic, friendly, professional, etc), lost job, bills piling up, apartment a disaster, inability to build a mental model that can cope with your current situation.

I've realized this is kind of what my mental model has lead to, the worst part is I don't really know how to fix it or change. Fortunately I have years of living expenses if needed, have insurance and a number of close friends. However, WFH has gotten me to a point where it's a struggle to even do a few leetcode problems a day, work on contracting or even make a youtube video. Insurance doesn't cover mental healthcare and it never really helped before.
> (Paradoxically, Russia’s woes at the hands of Ukraine might be bad news for democracy, because they suggest that this trend has strengthened: so far, Russia’s advantage in numbers has been offset by Ukraine’s more advanced doctrine and NATO’s better kit.) In the long run, maybe the material basis for representative democracy has fallen away.

I find this claim to not make much sense. A technological power + more people would be stronger than just a technological power.
I'll never get why people keep throwing money at web3 stuff. It's pretty clear 99% of it is total crap that nobody is going to adopt in serious numbers.
I'm not even sure about the state of this in other editors: Emacs allows syntax highlighting of different languages to be used correctly in nested regions. For example in org-mode you can have source blocks of any other language and you can see them syntax highlighted correctly. Maybe some other editors manage this for markdown's tripple backtick syntax, but do they add syntax highlighting of various mainstream languages to their markdown "modes", or do they actually have that use their separate "mode" for that language, possibly recursively?

Would be great, if anyone could comment on that. I think Emacs using Elisp has natural potential to do it recursively and therefore easily correctly, instead of cramming other modes with syntax, that does not belong there.
Was there a follow-up? This was written fifteen years ago.
