You could have said the same thing about Netflix a decade ago, but naming themselves OpenStreaming would have been just as ridiculous. Having a popular product has nothing to do with being an open company.

HSA is deferred for future. I (in 30% tax bracket and pretty healthy) can defer that to future as I only average about two doctor visits per year last 2 years. So, if I put it in FSA, I loose the money since my number of visits to doctor are few and far between. HSA, I can use after I retire also or when I grow older. So for my situation, it is better.

You might discover that even laymen disagree with each other far more often than you might think.

Most things that make it to court, and especially to appeals, actually have important arguments on both sides. If it's in court, it's pretty much by definition non-obvious.

OK… That's all?

I start to see the problem.

But I'm not going to write what my conclusion is as this would get likely down-voted into oblivion. (I was actually expecting down-votes already just for asking but still wanted to understand what the issues here is as I honestly don't see any "tricky part" in the "puzzle" at all.)

Counter anecdote...

A good friend of mine in HS did one semester of college, said "nope. not for me" and became an electrician. Fast forward ~30 years, he planning on retiring in a few years (could retire now if he wanted to).

He's smart, worked hard, learned and taught himself as much as possible. Took & passed all tests asap, got his contractor's license asap, etc. Branched out to learn industrial controls and electrical too.

I think pursuing a trade can be a really good way to go... but you need to go into it planning to learn & teach yourself and push the excel.

I know welders who make >200k USD a year working 4-6 months a year. They are crazy skilled and know their craft inside and out... they know more metallurgical science than me (and way more practical knowledge about metal alloys) and I was chemical and materials engineering major.

I know a master carpenter/craftsman who makea >500k a year, profit, doing high end cabinets, woodworking, furniture, building, kitchen remodels, etc.
Thanks, I'll get in touch!

I’m picking up sarcasm here, maybe mistakenly. The person being yelled at to leave his daughter’s birthday party was not the Boomer here. The Boomer was the person making unreasonable and hostile demands that the person leave his daughter’s birthday party.
I think the word you are looking for is "osmosis".

People learn faster when they have someone to teach them in a multi-modal environment. Videoconferencing is only a shadow of this, and everything is scheduled. There is zero chance for spontaneity with such a sterile structure.

I'm nearing the end of my career, but I certainly would not have learned as fast as I did without many, many mentors. Just reading the internet, especially when the technology is cutting edge and not even ON the internet, would have left me far behind. And if everyone falls behind, the company falls behind.

I think companies that mandate some amount of in-person time will have less risk of falling behind than those that are 100% remote.

I don't see how all of those junior 100% remote engineers will keep up. Maybe they are all just very very very smart.
I work in a Python shop (heavy data analytics). My experience is that the Python web frameworks (Django, Flask) are so much more cumbersome than Rails. There are arguments both for and against streamlining your tech stack. For me, the additional overhead of maintaining multiple stacks is worth it given the effort that goes into web app development
At one point I had so much PTO built up that I was asked to reduce it. I took 6 months of Mondays off.

It was great, I got so much done on personal projects, and it was convenient having a day off during business hours too. It sucked going back to 5 day weeks.

I didn't track my work productivity, but I'm usually a very productive person anyway.
I can't outside what was claimed to be a first person account by a sober, successful, health oriented person. I saw little incentive for him to manufacture that story -- he could have for sure.
Don't ask me about GNU_UNIQUE...

Due to some wonderful C++ features the dynamic linker is forced to unify symbols across shared libraries, even if those symbols have different versions.

This utterly breaks loading multiple libLLVM's except if you build the copy you care about with -no-gnu-unique (or whatever the flag was called)

I have seen wonderful things like the initializers of an already loaded libLLVM being rerun when a new one is loaded.
ChatGPT: the Napster of the AI world?
SRI (formerly the Stanford Research Institute) split from Stanford University in 1970.

Students (et al.) had protested SRI's participation in secret (and military) research projects, and Stanford ultimately determined that secret research was incompatible with the university's mission.

Of course, like many universities, Stanford has aligned its actual priorities to focus primarily on endowment expansion and administrative employment.
> I’ve also seen events where the DJ or band keeps edging the volume higher. It’s like they become desensitized to their own music and keep feeling like it needs to be 1 dB higher to sound right.

This is very much a thing and not limited to DJs or bands.

Some advice I got a long time ago (but can't find the source): if you've been listening to music for a while, turn the volume down to zero, and then slowly increase the volume back to where it sounds the same. You usually end up with an absolutely lower volume but it sounds exactly the same.

Also if you go to concerts and wear earplugs, your brain eventually recalibrates the sound so eventually it sounds just like normal volume.

All I know to be true is what the person claimed as first-person knowledge from his personal relationship.
I think it's important to note that much (all?) of PARCs research has been oriented around the "office of the future". In the broadest sense of that vision, they had a huge hand in originating a lot of computing technologies.

And while SRI has had their impact in the computing industry, they also have other research labs that have very little to do with computing such as biomedical, education, and policy.

TL;DR: if someone spies out your iPhone's passcode, they may be able to hijack other accounts synchronized with it.

In such situations, this simple passcode is like a master password, with with critical things such as PayPal and Apple Pay payments can be initiated to drain bank accounts.

Two-factor authentication also doesn't help, as their challenges can be approved easily once the iPhone is unlocked with the passcode.

>You don't need to worry about being locked out of your 401K after being sacked. It's still your money and they have to give you access to it, even after you're sacked. Transfer the money out to a separate 401K account that only you control after you've left the company. (Or don't, because I'm pretty sure they have to keep your account open indefinitely, but IANAL so ask a professional)

You will not be locked out of 401k when you quit but they will charge about $25 per quarter ($100 per year) to maintain your account. I feel it is still a good deal and I left my 401k with my previous employers. so far I have $300k in 401k, so $300/year to maintain the portfolio (across three previous employers) and not messing it up by moving it around seems like a safe deal to me.
I don’t think that’s a remotely fair characterization of the author’s self-evaluation. A fair bit of the article is spent expressing embarrassment, presuming they were in fact wrong, and surprise at discovering that presumption was their error.

What you’re describing would be an entirely different post, likely making a very different point. There’s value in exploring “sometimes your idiosyncratic intuitions turn out to be right”, without muddying that with the obvious intuition that this won’t always be the case. There’s value in exploring the idea through demonstrative anecdote without counter examples. If anything, counter examples might influence the kind of pattern matching biases which lead to such faulty intuitions.

Anyway, I think the author has demonstrated that they’re fallible and happy to be corrected. They’ve acknowledged more concrete problems with the post and made changes to address them at least a couple times.
The simplicity is definitely a selling point. It's a better C, basically.
Good thing AI's are owned by companies that are fully culpable for their monetized product's output, then.

Honestly I hate those 'partitions'. Why bother? They're so stupid and pointless. It's ironic because they actually hinder collaboration and pair programming since they're never removable lol.

If we're going to all sit together at a big table we might as well see each other lol.
My comment was sarcastic. Of course the legal system works like you describe.

The spirit of antitrust legislation is that competition should not be harmed by one or few dominant players. I would claim it is very clear that Apple (and Google) harm competition in the mobile space. If this cannot be prevented using the existing laws, new legislation is required. Monopolies and duopolies are harmful.
What a coincidence. Just yesterday I was discussing 1pwd’s series A with a friend and I remembered about a podcast the founder (David Teare) did with DHH (Rework Podcast). In it, he literally cites this. He says they raised money for a bunch of things, and one, was to add metrics, but he wanted them to make them anonymous. We’ll see how it plays out.

Ask HN: Transcription Software for Thick Accents?
Hi All,

There are thousand of hours of video interviews with Holocaust survivors that were filmed in the 90s on VHS. Many were proficient English speakers who communicated their ideas effectively, but still with pretty thick European accents (plus poor grammar, incomplete sentences, etc.)

Can you recommend any software that can take this into account and create accurate English transcripts?

The goal would be to apply text analysis to this massive corpus to discover any unique insights (e.g. cross-referencing stories and seeing what surfaces).

Thank you!
> Then you have the shit hours and shit customers that expect those shit hours.

Not saying this is your brother’s situation - but pretty much all of the HVAC companies I’ve dealt with tout their emergency repair services (if not 24/7 availability), and many of them include that when you buy a new HVAC system - so it seems pretty rational to expect those service providers to honor their claims
I know people are saying it’s your isp and that is a possibility but IMO ms is being too harsh here. First let me say at least they have a support department unlike gmail. As for your isp I honestly don’t get a significant amount of spam from digital ocean or many of these vps systems so I don’t think it fair to say that is the problem right away ( this is spam only not ssh brute force scanning which I don’t track ). I get significantly more spam from aws, gmail and Microsoft itself - I’m personally annoyed that these providers are too big to block but have no issues blocking other ips with no ability to resolve it. Sorry I have nothing to add to help resolve this. A month ago there was a post on a similar issue but with gmail. At this rate the response will be the problem is you are running your own email server and should pay for delivery.
What do you want to learn? Try top down approach. Meaning if you want to build electronics, start broad, get Arduino, run sample code, get it to do things, then dive into details only if it's necessary. In my opinion, it's useless to memorize bunch of equations, it doesn't come up as often as you think, and eventually you'll forget about them. Don't get discouraged, feel free to email me for more tips. I also write about my learning process in case it helps anyone: https://sayingless.substack.com

For the website, the AI can likely make it for you already or soon.

For clothing, print on demand but also, cut & sew on demand will be a thing. The AI can generate a pattern and send it to a human or robot to do it.

> AI should cause mass unemployment and that should be a good thing!

But there's a wide gulf between "should" and "would".

In order for that utopia to happen, we need to have an economic system that is 100% different from the one we have now, and there is no path to that level of transformation that doesn't require a period of large-scale human suffering. And large-scale human suffering means societal collapse that could very well derail any movement toward a different economic system.

In the system we actually have, mass unemployment means a mass of people who have little to no income, and without income, they can't get the things they need to live.
If they were going to "de-identify" the data for their telemetry, then I'd need to see some rigorous mathematical proof of it, to have any trust in their promises. You will eventually compromise the individual datapoints in a dataset, given enough queries. There is in fact a field of research that specifically studies just this. The PMs at 1password haven't done their homework, they're just waving their hands, and it is worrying for users.
I don't know a lot about Derek Parfit, but one interesting philosopher who claims to have solved Parfits' problems about population and moral theory is David Benatar [1].

Lately, I haven't been seeing the HSA math make sense, at least for a family. The monthly difference between a high deductible plan with a HSA is not cheap enough to cover the deductible gap, and care has gotten a lot more expensive.

Either choice will most likely result in medical bankruptcy without some sort of independent wealth. Best to have socialized healthcare and not have to worry about any of this.

Definitely a life best practice to periodically consolidate these kinds of accounts. Imagine trying to track down your 401k from your time at GE 20 years ago. It definitely exists somewhere, but it would not be fun finding it.
Your comment makes zero sense.

So people need to self-censor and only express themselves in approved 'productive' ways, because if they lose the freedom to express their displeasure we lose the benefits of free speech?

How about adults need to act like adults and take ownership of their own feelings and let others do the same?

You can't have censorship and freedom of speech they are antithetical.

In my experience people don't generally believe noise is bad for health beyond being annoying. Do you have any evidence for your belief the health effects are merely due to stress rather than being real?

(Or that noise isn't causing physiological stress)

You can find all kinds of rat studies where noise worsens rat health. The rats surely haven't been reading media articles about the effects of noise.

Agree that learning from past efforts can be helpful, but I think you're shooting things down way too early here. I'm not seeing any specific critique you're making about mouth-based input being a bad pursuit, in fact the three efforts you linked hardly qualify as evidence against the opportunity:

GlassOuse - very different form factor, bulky and limited appeal to a narrow set of the most extreme users (quadriplegics). Probably too early to market too (2017).

Smart Mouthware - what looks like a crowdfunded two person team, seems more like a brief project than a company. Doesn't seem like a serious enough effort.

Quadjoy - completely different, plugged-in product tied to a chair, very expensive ($1400).

There's all sorts of reasons for having many separate groups pursue the same idea over a period of time until one 'gets it' and defines a category [1]. This includes market timing, tech timing, component costs, financing, eng & biz talent, how the market opportunity is understood and pursued, the myriad of specific product decisions that make subtle but important differences in UX, etc.

Just from a tech timing perspective, a serious company building something in this category today would have a product that is considerably smaller, cheaper, and longer lasting than one launched just a few years ago, due to component & supply chain improvements. A smaller, cheaper device means access to a broader market, including out-of-pocket purchases and selling to users who are in a wider spectrum of disability.

Not all car noise is equal though. I ride a bike regularly along an 8 lane freeway. It’s pretty amazing how hundreds if not thousands of cars go by and it’s mostly a blur of white noise. But every now and then a jackass with a loud exhaust goes by and it’s a completely different level of annoyance.
