Most of my notes are just... Unstructured text and images. So I just put it on WhatsApp in a group with just me. Searchable, any device, offline on mobile, the lots.

I screenshot excalidraw diagrams and put them in there as well, if I wanna do that.

Personally, rarely do I have the need to store a structured and queryable table/list as part of my notes.
Of course, we're Korean, so that goes without saying.

However my understanding is that while antibiotics will wipe out your gut bacteria pretty quickly, it takes a much longer time for it to repopulate, probiotics or otherwise.
I have the Apple Watch and I hardly ever check the stats but every few months it pings me with something like "Over the last 5 days, your resting heart rate dropped" which was a period I was on holidays, made me wonder if it was the lack of access to coffee, or just a more inactive period where I sat in a car most of the time.

The long term data can be interesting. Moved apartments and saw my elevation climbed stat went up as the local area was not so flat
Real Interview Recordings to Help Job Seekers
I'm working on a platform where tech job interviewees can share their real interview recordings to help others prepare. Videos will be fully anonymized and reviewed for privacy. Interviewees can earn tips if their video is helpful. Do you think this would be valuable for jobseekers? Any suggestions?
The lack of unique letters to describe the wide array of vowels seems like a big flaw in the Latin alphabet. Diacritics or inverted characters just aren't as good as clear and unique letters. Maybe there just isnt enough design space left to create more unique glyphs but it sure would be nice.
Love this comment xD

I have stuff post 2018 which lasts well too but I agree that you have to check the materials list; however, I remember having to do that in the 90s too.
I dunno if I'd jump at the chance, but I'd probably go there for work once things kick into high gear and all the money is out there
More accurately it was the United States government which was troubled by it and prosecuted Standard Oil under the Sherman Antitrust act. Their case before the Supreme Court would have been Standard Oil’s final appeal (note how the prior is United States vs Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey but it flips when it comes before the Supreme Court).

In an adversarial court system, it’s worth keeping in mind that while the Court is who you need to convince, the Court is not your adversary.

We didn't pay for this or incentivize it, it's an original story from the press.
I mean maybe some private equity company sees some dirty arbitrage in looting the corpse at best. Is there really any value to it?
> yes they're expensive and could be considered luxury goods

They are luxury goods.

We know well that melamine board furniture lasts a lifetime, and there's little need to have a $15k coffee table. Getting a local woodworker to build you anything larger than a pair of side tables is thousands of dollars, without even the material costs.

Your whole comment is a little detached from reality and reads very condescending.
It’s not that I don’t understand the impulse, but I generally make the effort to pass stuff on to others simply so I don’t have to dump it.

That’s extra effort for me, but it makes me feel a lot better.
Wow amazing chip. Running at 30W in turbo. It'll be fun & exciting to see portable units compete for increases cooling, pushing this higher and higher. Of course it'll need to also throttle down (and optionally shut off some extra cores) on battery, but I think people radically under-rate how incredibly effective that can be.

Also worth point out the upcoming Ryzen 8000 leaks, with Strix Point & Strix Halo APUs that look absolutely absurdly fast, with huge ram bandwidth, in 15-45W and 20W-120W (correspondingly) power points. I cannot wait to have small decks with these beasts. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Massive-AMD-Ryzen-8000-Zen-5-l...

> You need to know how much to withhold for taxes.

So? Withholding formulas can be separate from the main tax formula (heck, they can be “withhold at your personal overall rate for the prior year”.)

> 1000 brackets makes things a lot more complicated.

For whom?

> the fact that it requires software proves my point.

It only requires software to generate the tax tables. Every other use can just use the lookup tables.
Aerospace engineering is still a mix of both units. Especially on the aeronautics side, imperial is still widely used. Part of the reason for this is that past reference materials and tooling at many manufacturers still using imperial tooling. A team of good engineers is expected to be proficient with both unit systems --- its not really a big deal to use imperial on projects.
Just because it's a first world country doesn't mean its people have first rate knowledge of biology. Japan also overuses antibiotics, as does many other countries we might think know better.

The simple fact of the matter is most people don't differentiate between bacteria and viruses, they're both germs that cause disease and antibiotics are just one kind of medicine that can cure the disease. Placebo effect also obviously is a significant factor because of that.

> Who here looks at the current US government and thinks “this is working great, let’s have more of it?”

Its more common for me to think “This works badly, because its obviously underfunded”, actually.

Particularly when I have to deal with the IRS.
It's a common but I think unhelpful observation that americans make racism worse by focusing on race more. I see it often in the comments here, people saying things like "why make it about race" or "we should ignore everyone's race."

The thing is it was already about race. Even if that cop disappeared those men for completely non-racist reasons (and we pretend their motivation is even knowable in that way), the racial history of american policing is such that it's part of the story anyway.

A black person reading the race-sanitized headline is going to immediately think "yeah and I bet I can guess their skin colors too" and on looking into it find out they were right and come to conclusion it was obscured out of intentional complicity.

There is no race-neutral way to report on or discuss many things in an american context because those things are not race-neutral. We can certainly wish it were otherwise, but when we try to enforce that fictional neutrality we both obscure and create other problems.

The capitalization thing is just part of an ongoing and unsettled reevaluation of what "races" even are, what their boundaries and prerogatives are, how they refer to themselves and how they are to be referred to, etc. I respect your discomfort with it and would point out that probably very few people are happy with the current state of this nomenclature, but that it's almost completely irrelevant to the problems themselves.
It's simple: Election forecasting is often used as a form of voter manipulation, if not outright suppression.

People should vote for the candidate that they want to win, not the candidate that the tv says has a better chance of winning.
I think you would also get some interest from business, if you end up with some specific business examples e.g. contract negotiation over goods or services, or a contract breakdown and negotiating to fix things. I could see less experienced negotiators learning much more from this than some dry slide deck or role play scenario, and even experienced ones using it for fun and extra learning. Perhaps even if you could allow a business to customise a scenario to be tailored to their needs, e.g. you provide the platform and prompts required to get it to work, then the business then provides a layer of prompts for their own context. I'm just free-thinking here really, I know in the back end it can take a lot of work to build things so good luck!!
Ad based media/journalism is hopeless. Stuff behind a paywall maybe can survive if you cater to a specific audience (politics junkies, businesses). The vast majority of journalism though will be explicitly public relations and a defacto wing of an economic entity.
Biden is of fragile state at this point. It's just insane to make him go through another 4 years of this. It's nuts that we're even discussing with a straight face that traditionally we do such and such.

What the heck are our priorities here?
It's really not there's a lot of places where publishing polls is illegal. Public opinion is easily influenced by perception of public opinion. That's basically all of style, design and fashion, and polls can always be crafted to get the results you want or outright lie.

Also what actual benefit does it serve to poll before elections if not to influence the outcome.

I think maybe internal polling could be ok. But is it? Should politicians have their positions and push them, why should they change or hide their views in response to polling. We should be able to vote on unfiltered versions of politicians not people who are malleable to whatever will let them win.
Lacking what? .Net is the kitchen sink.

Can anyone suggest something that is there anything reasonably priced? I'm willing to pay 5-10x IKEA prices, but most of the products here are 25x IKEA prices. Room and Board is the only place I see that is somewhat attainable on this list. Most of my IKEA pieces last a decade so there is no way I can economically justify these prices.
They got the profit after they changed the way losses are recorded though, not sure if it really shows improvement: "cloud unit had a $186 million operating loss in the fourth quarter, compared with $480 million before the change."
How about C - someone who sees a lot more at hand than a specific problem being worked and goes on tangents fixing issues management isn't aware of or doesn't understand. It's career limiting to operate this way, but is long-term better for the company.
Thanks for the correction. It's been some time since I actively thought about the theory (evidently I didn't digest it correctly the first time!).
I’m sure I didn’t. Configuring Kermit was a nightmare in itself. :)
> What data are they collecting

As I understand it, they are collecting data about the operation of the cars.

> and how specifically is it being used in an untrustworthy, and harmful way?

I didn't claim that it was. I was expressing my objection at it being collected. I have the same objection to similar data collection by software, electronics, etc.

Allowing data collection is an act of trust. Tesla (like most companies) has not earned that trust, and speaking generally, this trust has been so commonly abused that I give nobody the benefit of the doubt.

> you want a world where the internet doesn't exist

Your tongue may only be half in your cheek, but this statement literally could not be more wrong.

> did you know the car part of a Tesla works entirely offline at 100% capacity?

I would certainly hope so! If it didn't, I'd be saying that Tesla's design was inherently broken. I'm not saying that.

Since you are claiming I have opinions that I do not have, I clearly have done a terrible job explaining what my opinion is. It's pretty simple: the collection of usage data has been widely abused for a long time. Because of that, I have zero trust in almost any company that they won't abuse any data they get about me or my use of my machines. I think that's been well-earned. Teslas (as well as other cars) collect a great deal of data. I object to that.

It isn't because "Tesla sucks" or anything specific to Tesla. It's because Tesla (and not only Tesla) is engaging in a practice that historically has been abused.
Wow, that's pretty amazing. I wonder how it's implemented, and if there are any tutorials on implementing something similar, for programming language designers/creators.
Quite. It is likely true that deep conceptual shifts within twentieth-century science have undermined what's commonly referred to as Cartesian-Newtonian metaphysics. Revisionist studies in the history and philosophy of science have cast further doubt on its credibility, and, most recently, feminist and poststructuralist critiques have demystified the substantive content of mainstream Western scientific practice, revealing the ideology of domination concealed behind the façade of "objectivity".

It has thus become increasingly apparent that physical "reality", no less than social "reality", is at bottom a social and linguistic construct; that scientific "knowledge", far from being objective, reflects and encodes the dominant ideologies and power relations of the culture that produced it; that the truth claims of science are inherently theory-laden and self-referential; and consequently, that the discourse of the scientific community, for all its undeniable value, cannot assert a privileged epistemological status with respect to counter-hegemonic narratives emanating from dissident or marginalized communities.
it is not binary. Did you watch the video?
Rephrase title to Nate Silver (and his models) are leaving and Disney is shrinking FiveThirtyEight. Construct is so important in English (even without the And being a Hence)
I think I only ever interviewed and worked in big tech companies that recruits candidates at global scale. When interviewing a candidate, we try to avoid bias and pick objective signals. Whether their past projects got canceled is the type of things we actively don't want to know about. But now I suppose that in companies with smaller pools of local candidates, this type of information can make a difference.
Awesome to see consumer-oriented tuning like this. Looks like lots of sensible auto-config nicely well packaged for Linux users.

Looking at Pipewire to figure out latency concerns in 2.0 is such straightforward smart optimization.

Scala might be a good option - the JVM library ecosystem is second to none, Linux is very much first class and ~everything is open source. Although you may have the same problem of not being forced into a pure style.

People are going to make their own electoral decisions on their own terms, whether you, or I or anyone else agrees with them or how they came about their decisions. That’s about as democratic as it gets. Forecasts can inform those decisions, but they don’t decide them.

EDIT: I have no love for iOS’s tendency to capitalize “democratic” or “republican” against my wishes.
We should not be celebrating marijuana use
I’m not sure I agree.

It’s perfectly legitimate code and working code. It’s just hard to read.

Should language prevents you from writing hard to read code if it means making trade off? I personally think that’s what linters are for but you are free to disagree.

I’m going to bed and don’t think I will revisit this comment thread. It’s probably the longest discussion I ever had about syntax points you don’t even encounter while using the language.

I have fond memory of writing OCaml. It’s nice to use. It gets out of your way. The compiler is quick. It gives nice error message. The syntax and semantics are flexible enough and elegant enough than you don’t feel like your fighting the language and your code feels nice. That’s what matters to me at the end of the day.
“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” is asking a perfectly reasonable question about what if anything you’re working towards. If you think regurgitating something from ChatGPT is appropriate, I can see why you might prefer more limited interviews.
It used to be sold on a large scale by Cellotex. That company also sold asbestos board and went bankrupt due to liabilities from the asbestos business. Some company called Knight LLC ended up with the board business, but they seem to have gone bankrupt in 2010.

I’ve been told all information should be free lol. I’m glad there are some sensible people.
is it possible to solve NP-hard problems with transformers/LLM?
Yes, it’s quite possible that “democratizing” election forecasts is bad. A public forecast may influence the likelihood of voting while a private forecast would not.
Ok - I signed up. but a couple of questions and a rant

1. is it a phone based thing? I am guessing but I cannot tell

2. is it stored somewhere else or do I just keep control?

And. Rant. I just feel exploded into many shards - there is email (good luck controlling that - I used to have some search and control when it was all on my laptop but who manages email on their laptop anymore?). But there is whatsapp and sms / imessage / we are on the facebook group

I am not sure where I am going with this - I think that todo lists aren't the problem - it's "what have I missed" lists as well as "what am I obliged / required to be doing" as well as the finally arrived at "what essential things do I conciously choose"

It's nice to get to the "conciously choose" but that always feels like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop because I am not sure what has been missed - so yeah - I want to comciously know what I am conciously not doing.

A DoNotDo list just to keep me unstressed ?

But much kudos to you for actually building a product and launching - fantastic I hope it goes to the moon :-)
You can build a table out of rough sawn planks for cheap today. It's just going to cost as much labor and material as something much better from IKEA.

150+ years ago life was different and spending a week planing a tabletop was not a waste of time.
I don’t think reliable forecasting is gone. Nate Silver does not bring any new data to the table. However, he does have good models to translate a whole bunch of raw, often contradictory, data into something more representative of reality.

That being said, it’s not going anywhere. He will either self publish or join another firm. He might rejoin NYTimes for example.
> why industrial control systems had such abysmal security for as long as they did.

Bold of you to use past tense there
Interesting. Thanks for the link. I remember using a Russian clone called “Terminator” which looked way more polished than Terminate, but don’t know if it’s related to this controversy.

EDIT: Oh! I found it and installed it from https://www.sac.sk/files.php?d=3&l= . Apparently, Terminator isn't a Russian clone like I remembered, but actually the successor to Terminate written by George Collins.
I remember the ipo and also not buying because google only has search and that seemed to be an issue for me. I remember the ipo being botched. Also I didn’t buy apple thinking while the iPod was nice one product won’t bring a company back from near bankruptcy. Both companies are over a trillion dollars, have significant cash and if you bought and held you would be doing quite well. This was also during the most decade of Microsoft where people were predicting the down fall of microsoft too. So it’s hard to really gauge what a company with so much money and low debt can pull off and continue to grow.
Thanks for the detailed response. Seems -K is not available on the UNIX I have (TrueNAS, FreeBSD-based). That should indeed have helped.

> Discovering new (to you) tools which are not yet installed is a good reason to use the web to look up Unix stuff

Of course a web search can help, however I often find that the times when I need to do such searches is quite correlated with times when I don't have internet access. Less frequent now with my "smart" phone, but still happens.

The flaw is the unsupported assertion that the whole system being conscious of X depends on a part of the system being conscious of X. The same assertion would fail here in the same way.

Indeed so. And I've said clearly several times that I wouldn't. I'm not actually singling Tesla out (especially not commenting on a story that is about Qualcomm, not Tesla). But Tesla's also not some sort of special exception.

Commentary and analysis should be fine as professions for the highest levels. You can make a pretty good living out of subscriptions and even multiple millions out of a contract with a streaming service if you are an A-level analyst.

But reporting requires some level of infra-structure that is harder to bootstrap.
Document management and user access control are two I can see.
