I'm an ML specialist with both development and research experience, backed by a strong generalist engineering background.

I have six (or 16, depending on how you count) years of professional experience including a FAANG research lab with resulting
publications and patents, as well as an alpha quant research role in a systematic hedge fund, from the data pipelines to
final modeling.

Since then I've been an independent consultant. My latest engagement has included working with an HR tech startup to help
their customers make sense a torrent of free-form text feedback generated by their clients' employees by creating
a custom clustering algorithm and integrating it with their systems.

I'm passionate about generating business value from data, be that directly by making revenue impacting predictions,
or by creating features your clients want. At the same time I'm highly curious and can target anywhere
on the spectrum from basic research to getting something useful running quickly, depending on your needs.

At present, I'm looking for contract work, long-term and high-time commitment is possible.

The vast majority of HN seems to be web programmers and devops. Which is also the vast majority of the market, so it makes sense. Working on WINE is a more like a classic OS development role, which is a very different skillset.
PV is now being sold with a 25-year warranty - it'll still have at least 80% capacity after that time.

As the article rightly points out, it often just makes more economic sense to replace them earlier due to improvements in panel technology. There isn't really a technical reason to replace them.
Increasing people's lifetime earnings != "you shouldn't be allowed to fire anyone, ever." I mean come on.

Agreed, it's so easy to blame your problems on the circumstances and feel good about it. Some people were just taught to always be victims (which is sad), and others just power through their weakness and eventually comes up on top.

Stoicism tends to be a difficult way to live but it does compensate in the long term.

> Look, Apple Silicon is neat, but you've lost the script if you want to claim it "changed the entire industry".

Huh? I'm only referring to the Apple 2 (when Apple first changed the personal computing industry) and the 00s, when macs finally became fast and stable enough to be considered a decent value (one can argue it was the original iMac, but OS/X and then the first intel macbooks is when Macs really started making sense value wise). Apple silicon, a recent innovation, hasn't really changed the personal computing industry much.

> If your platform exploits a tragedy of the commons to make money, society will probably eventually realize they're being scammed and demand fairer systems

I don't think Apple is doing this. They are selling a decent product, which for some inexplicable reason other hardware/software producers can't seem to replicate. They seem to have a monopoly on "not sucking" but that's about it.

I remember watching a real estate Youtuber break down his $1M+ income. The video was titled something like “How I make $1M with real estate”.

In the video, he revealed that he actually made $95kish from real estate. Made 900k from YouTube and sponsored posts.

Pretty much true for most “investment” channels

This sparks something I have always been fascinated by, hopefully someone can illuminate this for me.

If someone was born with profound blindness, or deafness or any profound lack of sense - what do they see in their heads? Or hear? I hear a version of my voice in my head, but some people have no inner dialogue at all, or even no ability for inner imagery.

What does the brain do in these situations?
> Should we make children take meth because they don't like the system they're in?

The flip side of this is that being unable to thrive in the system they're in is effectively dooming them to a substandard, more difficult life. If you think the system is broken, fix it, but ripping off the bandage before you have any sutures on hand is the opposite of a solution.

If I had started on medication younger, I undoubtedly would have done better in high school. If I had done better in high school, I would have gone to a better college, better college, better job etc. On the flip side, had I not gotten medicated in college, I very well could have flunked out.

So, yeah, it's a fucked up that the system doesn't accommodate for people slightly outside neurotypical-ness, requiring stimulant use to thrive, just like it's fucked up that it doesn't accommodate deaf people, making cochlear implants an extremely valuable treatment. But so long as that system is in place, restricting access to harm mitigation from that system because the system is fucked is unquestionably wrong.

The real issue is the risk profile. When you build a new reactor, it's almost certainly going to be safe. But there is a small risk of a catastrophic outcome, where most of the damage is local or at most regional.

Normally this would be the kind of a situation where insurance is the right solution. But because the potential magnitude of the catastrophe is too great, the insurance sector is incapable of handling it. No one is willing to provide a sufficient insurance policy on a commercial basis.

Because the assets of the company operating the reactor are also insufficient in the worst case, that leaves the government as the ultimate insurer. And as with any insurer, they require you to take various steps to mitigate the risks.
I have two bikes - one tubleess, one tubed.

On my tubed bike, other than 1 or 2 flats in the last 5 years, these tires have required 0 maintenance. Even after dusting the bike off from the winter, they pump right up and are ready to go.

My tubeless tires are a constant source of headache. They are constantly going flat, sometimes weekly, requiring more sealant, stuck valve cores, etc.

Overall, I'd say my tubeless tires require monthly maintenance, while my tubed tires have basically never required any thought at all. What am I missing here?

I have a parrot. He can talk, both contextually and randomly (the former much less often, but does still happen).

Not sure what your criteria for "talking" are but, by all of my own measures, my parrot sounds pretty much exactly like me in most cases, and like a child in most others. The words are clearly distinguishable, understandable, and in multiple languages (he lives in a multi-language household).

So, yes. Parrots can talk. Can they converse? Sometimes loosely, usually not at all. But they can very much talk.

If you mean that parrots do not understand the words and construction they are speaking, sure. But at that point you're splitting hairs. My parrot says "do you want it?" when he wants a treat. He says "good night" when he wants to go to bed. He says "c'mon!" when he wants me to come to him. He absolutely talks.

Weird hill to die on.

“Those who do, do. Those who can’t, teach”.

You want to learn about business? Pick up the biographies of successful businesspeople. Even then, beware of survivorship bias.

Note that these successful people will never write a book titled “how to be like me” but instead just write books narrating their stories and allow you to choose what to learn from it.

To add, I think there’s just something about people wanting the easy path that causes them to fall for these grifts.
To the OP: you're getting a lot of discouraging comments here. But I had the same idea as you and just didn't take the time. I don't know if it's actually a useful idea or not, but I really do feel it has potential to be useful. As I see it, it's about creating a high-level language that is just concise enough to define what you're doing, without requiring more detail than necessary for the logic, and that can be transpired by GPT into any target language one would want. Recognizing that some fixing of the output may be necessary.

So I'm glad you're doing it and I'll keep checking it out to see where you go with it (if indeed you do feel like continuing). Good luck.

Economics is fundamentally not science. I don't mean to devalue it as a discipline, but it is incorrect to call it science for a pretty simple epistemological reason.

Science depends upon the reproducibility of experiments. This means if I perform an experiment twice, then the second experiment (up to relativity) is done in the context of the experiment having already been done once, so the outcome of these experiments can be thought of as a fixed point of performing applying the have-done-the-experiment context (often with respect to all other experiments). Science is made up of these fixed points, which we can think of as the "set" of properties of the capital-W World.

Fundamentally, however, what it means to observe the outcome of an experiment, is to be able to condition your economic decisions upon that outcome, so if your own economic decisions are the thing that you are observing, there aren't necessarily any fixed points of this process.
> In this case, the term “hallucinate” obscures what’s really going on. It also serves to absolve the systems’ creators from taking responsibility for their products. (Oh, it’s not our fault, it’s just hallucinating!)

This article gives people things to consider and does not dare give specific advice. Everybody is different. Some people are in touch with their bodies and can detect if something is going wrong, and others are not. Institutions and pharmaceutical companies can adversely affect our health if they are able to influence doctors to advise us wrongly in a for profit health care industry. If you look at the health of the US population with a declining life expectancy, rising obesity, immunological diseases, and cancer, some self learning seems like a good thing rather than to leave your health up to institutions, companies, and doctors.

The short story "The Great Silence" by Ted Chaing feels very relevant here.

> The humans use Arecibo to look for extraterrestrial intelligence. Their desire to make a connection is so strong that they’ve created an ear capable of hearing across the universe. But I and my fellow parrots are right here. Why aren’t they interested in listening to our voices? We’re a nonhuman species capable of communicating with them. Aren’t we exactly what humans are looking for?
I don't think the solution is just leaving our complex decisions over to others. I think the solution is that we all need to be better informed. A doctor doesn't decide to do something for us unless we're incapacitated. The doctor informs us of our options and risks and we get to make the decisions ourselves.

In the same vein (vain pun would have been better), we need more opportunities to decide for ourselves than we currently do, not fewer. Why should any other major decision a country makes be any different? We hand over the decision making over too often when we should be turning those situations into more opportunities to let democracy to rule. Inform the public and let them decide. Allowing others to decide for us has been a shit show.

Getting Married in Iceland Without Friends
Well, IMO, it puts everyone into a mental arms-race reminiscent of steroid use in bodybuilding competitions.

If you told me I was going to take a standardized test where only the top 10% make the cut, and everyone serious about winning is taking a mental PED, then yeah I am going to feel intrinsic pressure to step-up and also engage in that mental arms race. I would've been just as happy to not do that if I were given a more level playing field.

It's no secret that there is a war going on to commoditize attention. I want to live in a world where people hone their ability to push back against having their attention leeched not one where everyone raises their baseline to cope temporarily.

I also have to think that, long term, it's kind of disrespectful to those with ADHD. If expectations of attention rise due to uptake in mental PEDs then where does that leave those who were originally disadvantaged? They lose their ability to exist on a more level playing field.

Bit of a tangent, but many years ago when I was wrapping up college, I was in a Calc III class over summer. The course was being taught at an advanced pace and basically everyone in the class was struggling after the first exam. The professor addressed the class about the poor performance and then called out a student in the front row. The professor said, "You! You did well on the exam. What was your secret to studying?" and, not missing a beat, the student responded, "Adderall!" I took the hint, bought some from a friend, and suddenly found myself passing the class with flying colors. It felt good in the moment, but honestly only because I wasn't being graded on a curve. It would've been wildly demoralizing if I'd been in direct competition with my peers.

I know life isn't fair and it's a pipedream to clamber on about desiring a level playing field, but surely we can agree that physical fitness competitions are more interesting when they are separated between "natty" and "enhanced" competitors? And that if we eliminated that separation that those without PEDs are disadvantaged? I don't see society making that sort of separation for mental fitness and so I am concerned about letting stimulants loose on the population.
