Ask HN: How do you find time for everything in life?
I’m married. I don’t have kids. I sleep on average 7 hours. I visit the office no more than 2 times a week (so don’t spend a lot of time on commute). I don’t overwork. I barely meet with friends. I don’t play video games. I don’t watch Netflix or TV in general (apart from 1 movie every one-two weeks). I eat simple food that takes no more than 20 min to prepare. I don’t shop for groceries, but order them with delivery. I outsource big house chores to robots (washer, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner).

And yet, I barely find time to work on my side projects, or engage in interesting discussions online, or learn new things.

So I’m either terrible with time management or I spend my free time on useless things. Or both.

Dear HN, how do you find time for side projects, engaging in online discussions, learning new things?
Wow that's colorful for court documents.

I don't see how it could have turned out any other way.

I'm just surprised he was actually arrested for something that's obviously covered by the first amendment. This reeks incompetence from the district attorney, trying to intimidate the man out of his rights like that.
The problem isn't shows that don't end, but ones that keep dragging out the 1-2 season plot line because it was popular (lost, stranger things, etc).

I'm fine with a plot that is progressing and things are being answered (the expanse, b5, etc) or just a plain old serial like the original star trek or the simsons where each episode stands on its own. But these shows where the plot just never quite gets resolved because yet another thing happens to snatch it away at the last moment quickly become tiring. Or like stranger things the whole things is nice and complete with all the lose ends tied, and then oh, lets do season 2 because its our best show and we want the money. This BTW seems to have been most movies since ~2000s where everything is a sequel, prequel or comic universe movie. Its like hollywood has forgotten how to buy book rights that aren't themselves giant economic works already (harry potter anyone?).
Fully agree, I just wish I knew who these people are, because clearly he has looked at some data that suggests they'll pay up, or his hosting costs will be significantly lowered.

Once again, my point is that your following statement is untrue: The cold, hard fact is that the bank doesn't have sufficient assets to pay back depositors.

It is not a cold, hard fact that they don't have sufficient assets. It's entirely possible that after liquidating their assets (on the time scale of months), they can make depositors whole even after factoring in the time cost of money.

Lately I've been using Vela Sciences lab notebooks for my general software engineering usage.

A few years ago I started an experiment to see if inexpensive fountain pens with refillable ink would be both cheaper and have less waste. I got a Pilot Metropolitan and a Lamy Safari for around $20 each. I also bought a Pentel mechanical pencil with a plastic barrel (but everything else metal) for around $15 from an art store.

So far, the experiment has been very successful and I'm still on the original bottle of ink and container of pencil leads. But the downside with the pens is that I need at least a minimum paper quality for the pens (the pencil works with anything, of course) to avoid ink bleeding/blotting. I've tried a few Moleskin notebooks and while the paper is of sufficient quality I don't really like the way they feel when writing (personal preference). The good news is that I can get a pretty good sense just by feeling the paper in person, and the notebooks don't necessarily have to be super expensive. But they're never cheap.

20 years later I still use a copy of the Starcraft I from them.

The original version requires a CD and a CD drive just to boot. Maybe it could be emulated but as a kid I wouldn't have money to buy the original in my country. Blizzard eventually made a young kid happy, I've later bought the games to support them.

This particular case took place in Canada :)
My experiences were with the McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER program [1]. They have (things may have changed) a number of sites sending telemetry back to the states via the Iridium network. Nothing too fancy. It worked. Biggest challenge really was that iridium was slow and relatively high power (and somewhat flaky deep in the valley where we were). I also had some involvement with the NTL LTER program[4], but that type of work has even easier telemetry constraints (these days, just use a cell modem).

I totally agree with you on the "using a combination of different sensors and a cleverly trained algorithm to get at the parameters of interest". This is something not too far from, in a way, how many sensors work already. They are *proxies* of the actual thing being measured. From my world, the s-can DOC sensor was always a good example, using in-situ spectroscopy to estimate DOC concentration.

Crux of the challenge is "what is the parameter of interest" and "can you come up with a way to estimate it with something easily measured?

Because this is HN, I'll say there is another interesting route possible. If you can change the economics of a situation and decrease the cost of a basic sensor, then you can often increase the volume of applicable uses. I was tangentially involved with the development of the miniDOT [3], which ended up being one of the first "inexpensive" (as in less than $5k) dissolved oxygen sensor. It really changed how people used them and increased the amount of DO sensing by probably an order of magnitude.

They’re using the language of Discord/Slack were rather than one massive firehose where you curate who you follow you instead create “servers” for your friends, family, and different online communities.

Social networks got supermassive scale, it ended up being kinda awful unless you’re a public figure, and now all the “good” communities are on Reddit and Discord.
Takes me back to my BF1942 days, careening around maps in planes and tanks. I was dirt poor. I usually had to get a ride to the video rental store to rent console games. I'm thankful to have kept busy thanks to these groups. It kepted me interested in computers and exposed (a little) to software dev. ...and awesome music! Man, the music...
He isn't complaining about the 20 bucks but the subscription as such.

I set both of these to false, and I was able to copy a command from a README file on GitHub still (after reopening tab)
You should probably reread once more what I wrote, just saying.
Maybe it's just scale and maybe it's not. We can't say it is scale from the evidence so far.

> Maybe articles on AI just trigger me and I spew the same arguments. I

But you are not representative of all humans.

There are mechanical things that are more than just prediction machines. Why did you make the "leap non-LLM" == "not mechanical"?
> I remember binge watching _House MD_ in college, really liked the beginning, and felt disappointed as the characters grew increasingly comical and less nuanced in later seasons

This was Friends for me. The character Joey was the "less smart" one of the group, but often wrong in clever ways, such as confusing "moot point" with "moo point". It's like a cow's opinion, it doesn't matter. He was right and wrong at the same time. In later seasons, he turned into what could possibly be described as the dumbest person alive.

The other characters had similar transformations. The nuances becamse their defining characteristics. They became caricatures of themselves.

This sounds like a legit use for ChatGPT :-)
Except that Fox is profitable, and it isn’t clear how much musk is willing or able to pay out of his own pocket for the privilege. I don’t think he planned for that.
Not really. Weed isn't very addictive, and for every 20 year old that tries and quits weed, there are dozens that try alcohol, smoking, or coke and have a hard time quitting. Now, those can be expensive addictions, whereas a social media addiction is free, so it won't force you to rehab.

The best notebooks I have found that meet both constraints of being cheap but good quality so as to not become frustrating are Muji's notebooks. They have several options in size and also styles between blank, lined, and graph lined and looseleaf or notebooks. They even have these tiny passport sized notebooks that I am trying to get into the habit of keeping with me to write down whatever I need in the moment. The paper quality is actually excellent, and their pens are all I use now as well.

I've always wished I could have an ad free internet experience, I'd happily pay whatever revenue the ads would have generated.

Would it be terrible is GPT replaced ads with subscriptions? Of course they'd have to split the income with the sites they get the info from. Much how ads on a website make the ad network and the site owner money.

It is hard to tell. If Intel sticks with it and keeps the price low while still aggressively moving towards future needs - they could become a decent 3rd player.

That they have no DX11 or below legacy combined with some interesting performance profiles especially at the higher resolution areas leads me to think they are looking at where the market needs will be in 2-3 year from now. It seems like higher resolutions doesn't hamper performance are much as one would really expect. It is still way behind Nvidia and AMD but there is a lot of potential there.

I have seen a few people on youtube who benchmark cards who have made the wise choice to not touch these yet and wait for the second generation. That way they can come in when things are more stable and not have a cloud hanging over their head.

If Intel is to treat it like Microsoft did with Xbox and give it a few years to mature - it could be huge. They could also just drop it in a year or two and it just becomes a technical curiosity that we will look back on like "Remember when Inter did that?". Sort of like the i960 processors. Something really neat but a dead end for them.
Razor 1911 still has some presence in the demoscene. But though they share the same origin and may know each others, they are distinct from the cracking group.
What do you think about Decentralized Identity (DIDs - https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/)? With it, you can have several identities and easily generate new ones when needed (but you probably need to have a single, government-recognized identity for the real world).

Europe seems to be working hard on establishing an identity for every citizen: https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-... (most countries already have that, but this is about unifying the various countries' ID systems).
This is just a subtle way of a millionaire telling founders "don't worry, only poor people are allowed to lose money"
Interesting read. However, the author misses some important motivations why people choose to buy instead of renting. For example, I don‘t expect it to generate much value for myself, but for my kids, as they will inherit it one day. Imagine not having to choose between renting or buying a home in the first place. That’s the start I want to provide my kids with. I thinks it’s a good one.

The other reason why I chose to buy is self-discipline. Yes, renting typically leaves you with some money at the end of the month that you can use to invest in the stock market - which oftentimes yields more benefits in the long run over buying (and financing) a home. But that’s just theory. In practice, many people (and I’m including myself here) will use the extra money not to invest in stocks etc. but to consume at a higher level - to buy the more expensive car, to take the more expensive trip, eat out for dinner a lot etc. Knowing that I rather chose to buy and finance a home because that way I am forced to spend my money in something that even my kids will benefit from rather than consuming it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_banking

Open banking is a financial services term within financial technology. It refers to:

1. The use of open APIs that enable third-party developers to build applications and services around the financial institution.

2. Greater financial transparency options for account holders, ranging from open data to private data.

3. The use of open source technology to achieve the above.
It's only a few hundred MB per second.
Yeah, but that had a different top-level comment
He knows he’s worth more than that to Twitter.
It's open source, which was the point being referenced by the post I replied to. The BSDs can use the code to guide their own implementations, as they have done for various other drivers.

Also, it supports everything Turing onwards, which, while not ideal, does cover all the hardware they've made in the past 4.5 years.
They’ll chase anything that makes money but if the ONLY source of money is our attention etc… that’s a worse spot right?
Maybe. Maybe once those plans were noticed, they would have been resisted and thwarted by people who wanted to retain their power within the organization. Political struggles happen even in "healthy" companies.
Dunno, things are just starting. Ads benefit the ad network and the site. I don't see any reason GPT couldn't do similar.
If the deposits are going on the parent bank's balance sheet, it would be subject to the same controls.
Not quite. GDPR applies to governments as well. But there is a legal basis called "public task":

"the processing is necessary for you to perform a task in the public interest or for your official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law"

So no the govt can't "just" spy on you. But if they have, say, a court order, or let's say the law allows it if they have sufficient evidence, then yes. Otherwise, government bodies are expected to behave like everyone else.

My experience is that government bodies tend to be more concerned with legal compliance than private entities.
I guess I'll weigh in with my lived experience as a teenager at the time of the interview. I would've told you (maybe a few years later) "political correctness" in the U.S. started as an ironic term among lefty types with a sense of humor about their own milieu, which resonated more widely and got taken as ammunition and shortened to "PC" by more righty culture warriors.

I think this was originally a kind of joke but referencing a real phenomenon in soviet-style regimes. Like http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/ha-ha-only-serious.html

Now just how much this Western lefty culture was influenced by deliberate influence ops, that's the question I was hoping to learn about from this interview.
> When does Twitter start paying it's users who produce the data?

Never.

Having a business in the capitalist system is about maximising profits.

Musk spent ~$44bn USD or so to buy Twitter (and tried to back out of the deal too). Do you really think Twitter is gonna fairly compensate any of the users any time soon?

You’d be better off migrating to Mastodon. Maybe some instance in that ecosystem will figure out how to use crypto for good, and to compensate its content creators.
why does it say video unavailable?
Thanks so much! I just tried it out and finally got to see time travel debugging working with my own eyes[1]. I'm glad to have it in my toolbox.

Exactly, your attention is always going to be sold to the highest bidder—that won't change.

Now you just get worse 3rd party apps and integrations. Interesting to see the attempt to spin this as a positive.

This is the real question. How much are those MBS worth on the open market? Their value decreases every day as the fed keeps raising rates. I don't think anyone can really say what kind of hole SVB might be in right now.

I'm the last person to defend corporations. That said, US corporations definitely don't avoid "paying taxes." The corporate income tax rate imposed by the federal government is 21%. Employees pay income and social security taxes on top of those earnings after. From the moment a company earns income until it lands in the hands of employees the government can take as much as HALF of it. This includes everyone on salary. Execs would be wise to issue themselves stock so they "ONLY" have to pay 15% or 20% (LTCG) as their "income tax." Companies can reduce their tax burden by engaging in behaviors which the federal government has deemed worthy or risky and incentivizes those behaviors with preferential tax treatment. For instance the R&D tax credit. It means that organizations that invest in qualified research and development activities to incentivize innovation and growth (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 41) may be eligible for a general business tax credit.

Well, software is not just the web. Software that runs medical equipment is valuable and essential for example. And I think the same is true for all sorts of digital infrastructure. I’m thinking about software to run the power grid or running street lights or controlling a dam. There’s countless examples of useful to society pieces of software. But there are also countless other that are example of the opposite.
Hm, you may be right, though "deposits are less than" is a really weird way to phrase it in that case.
The article is pretty lighthearted, but after a day in an elevator, I’d be pretty worried about dying of dehydration. I suppose you’d know that you’d probably be rescued on Monday no matter what, but Friday to Monday is 3 days, which is about as long as a human can go without water. (Admittedly he got trapped late Friday night.)
I decided people are just having fun and it's nothing serious just water cooler chat and distraction before going back to work.

Subject: Something quantum mechanics.

Comment: "I'm not a physicist, but I think..." -- What do you think follows after such an opening? Exactly. It's fine though. I decided that the users decided that the site is at least 80% distraction and entertainment, and it still does so at a higher level than most others, so it's all good I think.
The free users remain being the product though, don't we? We are the reach and the mined so the company can sell that but at least maybe there's a chance of not being interrupted.

Ideally, everyone would pay to use the service and nothing would be mined for manipulation but that world is hard to imagine in 2023.

This sums up my experience exactly. I technically work in ML and do build (fairly basic, compared to things like ChatGPT) ML models, but the engineering – specifically as it relates to _data_ engineering – is much more interesting to me.

Additionally, the whole process of building a product around models is, again, much more interesting to me than figuring out the best algorithm to use.

Facebook is not building things 'because they want to'...that is not a business reason. They are buildings things because there are billion and billions to extract.
Both are very impressive. A nice thing about Gerganov's implementation is that it is written in almost pure C. Arguably easier for deployment.
Can you provide any arguments as to why?

I don’t see how it can make things worse in the long run
Academics don't resell the data to others. In fact, their existing agreements with Twitter requires their published datasets (for reproducibility) to be anonymized precisely to ensure they don't become a commercial goldmine.

Given that most of the article is about the pricing tiers for academic use, based on marketing communications to universities, your comment seems strangely indifferent to the context of this news. These proposed costs are unaffordable precisely because academics are not running a business around the data. If the article were about enterprise data sales, your point would make sense.

A friend[1] of mine (and his neighbours) have made a lot more than 4 official complaints about an absolutely deranged lunatic[2] on his street.

It took years of complaints and police calls, for the guy to get a court date (For harassing the neighbors and vandalizing their cars.)

Unless you actually go through many of the steps of investigating, you have no idea if the person making the complaints is the anti-social shithead, or if the person being complained about is. '4 official calls = complainer is full of shit' is a terrible heuristic.
