I liked to do an "Eng Weekly" meet where we took a deeper dive on some technical thing. Might involve someone doing some research and showing off something they learned, or doing a deep dive on some tech we used or looking at data structures or design patterns in our code base that could be improved in some non-obvious way.

Anything was fair game as long as it was technical and interesting. My main goal was to level-up the team a bit, show them how fun actually building stuff was vs adding a dependency of some 3rd party service or library, and have some fun just nerding out a bit on what other stuff was going on in OSS or the community at large.
I usually stick with this approach:

* Two sit-downs anually with each team member to figure out long term and short term goals.

* Fridays are for fun, almost as mini-hackathons, if the calendar allows for it; use it to get rid of technical debt, try something new etc.

* 3-4 hackathons, each 3 days long, each year.

* Conference budget per team member of their choice. Should allow for at least one conference anywhere in the world per year.

* Don't micro-manage; engineers are best when they are allowed a lot of freedom.

* Work from anywhere, anytime, but try to keep a core schedule from 9 to 15.
idk what to tell you. I have uBlock Origin on and without the proxy I see ads all the time. Either you're not in the US or you're just lying. There's a thread on the uBlock origin website with over 1,000 comments of people saying the same thing.

There's also posts their daily about how ads are not being blocked on twitch anymore.

They burned Giordano Bruno at the stake for hypothesizing that the sun was a star. Anyone willing to do that over an astronomy disagreement is evil.
I don't know why the US doesn't consume more beans, but I understand the UK doesn't. They only know the canned bean that is horrible. A friend once asked me why would you cook beans. I can't explain, you have to try.
It primarily comes from natural gas now because it is easy to extract from it. Refining via electricity alone is incredibly expensive (20-30% lost), and that is in top of 10% lost due to compression and 30% lost going back to electricity again (assuming a fuel cell vehicle). If the energy isn’t cheap (coming from natural gas), then how does this make sense economically?

BEV is attractive because electrify goes straight to the battery, energy is only lost once. But hydrogen can make sense for some applications given its weight (but it’s volume is a problem and compression only goes so far).

By your same logic, if you need to use dongles with a brand new MacBook, today, is the MacBook thus not useable?
You bring up a good point. When I read the post I applied a filter of "social media" so vetted everything from the perspective of Twitter, Facebook, Insta, etc. And a lot of the ideas hold up when compared to that.

It breaks down as you say with Netflix which probably means there's a line between user-generated content and curated content that requires a higher bar.

I would say most of it is stuff like TeX... not so much OSS as freeware that the author did not care to commercialize.
Depends which country you're in. Predicted prevalence is 2-3% (you'll see higher quoted) diagnosis rate in the US is higher, of course, and lower elsewhere. 2.5% is higher than a lot of popular modern identities. By all means see a therapist, but you don't need to assume that medicalising normal variation is the right thing to do.
There are probably many reasons for this, but here’s my take: the GA community is largely self-policing. There are dozens of regs one could break — whether it’s 8 hours bottle to throttle or busting VFR cloud mins — however the pilot community adheres to them almost religiously. To have someone so blatantly and publicly violate regs with a complete disregard for safety and property would be setting a terrible precedent for the FAA.

Additionally, this is in the best interests of the GA community as a whole, given that it always has been and will continue to be under scrutiny from the general public. No one wants there to be the perception that among them there is a 100LL cowboy who’s gonna bust through a bravo, slam a red bull, and ditch their plane over a neighborhood.

The hammer needs to come down, and it needs to come down hard.

What OS are you using? I'm looking at doing similar with my pi4.
My home in the wet tropics is solar powered. A small array of eight 325w panels supports 3 people, a regular AC refrigerator, electric kettle, electric hotplate, washer/dryer, and continuously running ceilings fans for moisture. In periods of cloud cover we still generate some power, we just switch to propane cooking and being frugal with our power budget. Solar is a no brainer in the tropics.

Li ion battery producers. Once an alternative is found, they gonna go down, both Chinese and Korean. If I were you, I would rather invest in companies that support small and medium farming, grow your own, agriculture and the such. There's no other way to reduce overproduction and waste than make people buy their food locally.
Should include project name in title (distrobox). This is really a game changer for immutable distros. I use Fedora Kinoite and basically everything I use is in an Arch distrobox or flatpak. Best part is, you can just throw a box in the trash and create a new one with only stuff you need. Distrobox-assemble will simplify it further.
I don't think there's really anything futuristic about Tokyo, not even 15 years ago.
Beautiful project! Even if that didn't have a big direct impact, it matters that the records exist so that historians with a deep, genuine interest can access them.
Even on subjects that are more recent than that, reading documents from their time offer crucial insights and unheard perspectives.
Such a wealth of data can change things, even if it happens decades down the line.
> I don't have any good advice other than to seek help and do whatever gets you to the next day.

Well... I did seek help, and ended up on dextroamphetamine, which helps me more than any routine possibly could. It's just that my tolerance got bad enough in just 3 months that now I can't take it more than once every few days, or else it completely stops working.

I can't take more because my body already requires a dangerously high dose (30mg/day) and raising it any further causes heart issues. (I tried)
Possibly testing builds for different distros in parallel.
Well that's quite a different situation. I agree. It depends what is stopping the projects.

Thanks for sharing how you keep the discussion quality high here. We responded to some thought-provoking questions on this thread about differentiation vs ChatGPT, other SQL Copilots, edge cases like more complicated queries etc. that we believe other HN users and makers in this space will benefit from. As I responded in @chatmasta's vouch (thank you!), we're data and software engineering experts, and happy to provide our original perspective on any other questions you have for us. Thanks for your consideration!
Agree that Tokyo has a very high quality of life, provided that your living and work situation is also good.
Maybe it makes sense to truly integrate generation and storage with your neighbor. Between two towns separated by forty miles of roads?

I don't think you get to the same end result. When production is in the same location as consumption, the interconnects can be way less expensive and in a disaster the grid has more redundancy. Plus it bootstraps way better, locally people get access to the initial benefits before the entire grid has been planned out.

And as others suggest, those interconnects might go mostly unused, storage and generation is pretty impressive nowadays.

But even besides the timing advantages, you just end up in a situation where the power grid is closer to the internet in architecture where sources and consumers of electricity are all over. We have the technology to handle that.
Well what I was referring to there was that you were persisting in an argument with someone who clearly was not going to understand what you are saying, despite your position being perfectly sensible and well reasoned. I think it’s nice when people do this, because even if the person they are arguing with is not helped by it, people lurking may still gain a better understanding of the topic of discussion. Persisting in the argument seems intellectually altruistic, like some kind of internet volunteer work.

I don’t really care what you support, though it is a bit odd that you would dig through someone’s comment history based on a one line post which I don’t think actually had anything to do with your perceived dog whistle hazard. While we’re on the topic though, I’m curious what it is about the comment you quoted that you don’t support?
Hey cool so some questions for you to consider:

- Does our society have systemic biases in law enforcement and the judicial system?

- Is it really sad that we are unable to, as a society, entertain conversations about genetically modifying our own gene pool to prevent criminal offenses?

- Why are nearly half of your comments about racial politics in America? Perhaps you have a bias yourself to examine.

- Why are links to twitter considered valid sources. Common. How can you expect people to take you seriously

- Are you racist? I'm only asking because you seem racist
What some people are willing to do for "views"...

It was a bit difficult to read, but pretty great overall
*people who are alleged and accused of committing a crime and often didn't
It's a big deal, and it wouldn't be hyped for no reason. If you think smart language models are just for "entertainment value", then I think your world view is at odds with others in the field. This is what the industry is hawking around, and you see a reflection of that on HN and other places. Eventually the novelty will fade, but this is still very new tech so I think there's still a lot more to come out before we get there. Now, this is just my view, but a Bard API is much more valuable news than a bug fix in a compiler or something.
Other users have already addressed this but I want to add a bit too.

HN's convention of putting years on titles is definitely not intended to devalue an article—on the contrary! Historical material has always been welcome here—more here than nearly anywhere else on the internet. One of the best functions of HN is that it helps spread knowledge of history.

Knowing the year helps orient people to what they're reading. It's interesting to know when something was written, and often important for understanding it correctly. Also it provides a nice demarcation between news of the moment and older articles, which are often uncorrelated and go deeper than the mass of current stories. That's a good thing.
> Ok so there was a long period of time when "white" people didn't have white fathers. But earlier you said that's not possible.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that, for example, the 100th generation of White people would be different from the 10,000th generation of white people.

White females can't come into being without White fathers. They could during the formation of the White race. But they can't now.

> You and I both agree that some people that were previously referred to as non-white are now commonly referred to as white

not a contradiction

> Ancestry is one part of the muddled definition that racists try to worm their way around into being objective

Biological race is just ancestry.

> The truth is there's no objective basis for race, it is all made up, and it changes pretty constantly

What about ancestry.

> d consider myself white but I have Polish (Slavic) and Scottish (previously non-white) ancestry. But, at some point, it became fine for me and people like me to call ourselves white. The English would have disagreed, as recently as the 1850s.

I'm not sure whether they would have. Doesn't matter either way. Racialist beliefs could have a totally illogical origin and yet be entirely correct. Beware the fallacy fallacy.
As with any automation; it’s not the automation that’s the problem, is that there are still some parts with people in it.
I can’t speak about successful projects yet, but I have begun to make more progress in the past few weeks than I have in the rest of my life. Here’s the thing: if you have ADHD, don’t fight it, work with it. Have several different projects going on and rapid shift between them when you feel yourself getting tired. A problem here, a paragraph here, it adds up. This turns out to be much more useful as an adult at work than as a child at school because this allows you to do the job successfully in a way you can’t as a student.

Also, use the depth of your focus to your advantage in making connections and going deep. Again, helps improve stamina.
Ironically, your comment and it’s snap judgement’s are a fantastic example of the subject of some of his best writings.
I was a 10 year kid doing BASIC, including DATA, PEEK and POKE, got into Z80 Assembly by the age of 12.

Buddy is missing the point of school. The most important things is to learn how to pass tests, to hit deadlines, and to find a way to work when you'd rather be doing something else.

Of course he is lamenting, he's a mathematician, so he's made it through all the shit, and his intuition is now a mathematicians intuition. Changing the curriculum will be great for people like him, but terrible for great politicians, who happen to be learning algebra, or chemists, or chefs, or CEO's. Inclusivity is a virtue, so let's not forget the future cannon fodder, the brutes, the blunt instruments, the weak reeds, and the evangelicals.

He envisions an untapped strata of mathematicians. I would say that people are not being undersold on mathematics, and it's elegance. There's just not a lot of people who are mathematicians. Rebranding it as art won't help, even art has the fiddly bits that are the bedrock of life. Cut the construction paper. Gather the glue, don't get caught huffing it, etc.

In fact, if anything they should stop teaching algebra and calculus and start teaching statistical methods and probability, which will expose students to evaluating risk. Give em some dice. ( parents might be ambivalent about this ) Discrete math, where you can do it with marbles and a strip of tape.

This would make intro science more like numerical methods, and then they'd move into continuous math a bit later.

It does not really matter though. Hit deadlines, pass tests, and know how to grind your way through something simple and tedious. Because simple love of the work might not be enough. Maybe you end up having to strip to pay for textbooks. Maybe shit just doesnt work out for you right away. Those rote tasks will keep you moving toward your dreams.

I had a similar experience around 2008 when I was first getting into the type of stuff we talk about around here. My media literacy wasn't what it is now, so I didn't know just how far outside the mainstream some of it was, and I certainly didn't pick up on the underlying politics.
I am in similar situation.
I don’t want to pile up extra work but if you want to chat up sometime on how things are, I am happy to chat. I’ve been looking for people in similar situation so it doesn’t feel like a crazy dream
This is what the README says about use cases:

> Why

> Provide a mutable environment on an immutable OS, like Endless OS, Fedora Silverblue, OpenSUSE MicroOS or SteamOS3

> Provide a locally privileged environment for sudoless setups (eg. company-provided laptops, security reasons, etc...)

> To mix and match a stable base system (eg. Debian Stable, Ubuntu LTS, RedHat) with a bleeding-edge environment for development or gaming (eg. Arch, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Fedora with latest Mesa)

> Leverage high abundance of curated distro images for docker/podman to manage multiple environments
You should totally do this project! Maybe it’s too hard to start going in person to every archive, but organizing them to just take scans with their phone. Then if that’s interesting maybe you get a grant to go on tour and digitize the west.

> Euphoria stops happening the second day you are on meds

It didn't for me. It lasted something like two weeks. And after months it still sort of happens. The euphoria doesn't come directly from the drug, it comes from feeling free and relaxed and in control. From being able to lay in bed and do nothing and feel good about it. Without ever getting bored like what happens all the time without meds.

Boredom isn't supposed to be so painful all the time, but it normally is for me. Being free from that is euphoric regardless of the substance I'm taking, honestly.
Apple has gone with an even split between high-performance and efficiency cores on the new silicon. He says the chip was spotted configured with 36GB of RAM. For context, the M2 Pro starts with 16GB of memory, and you can upgrade it to feature up to 32GB of RAM.

Ugh. the "chip" has significantly less L1 and L2 cache. The device can be configured with 36GB of RAM.

And, its 50% more cores than the M1 but only 20% more cores than the M2. Its the M3. Why quote its core-count on the M1 model, not the immediate past model?

its a 20% corecount jump, smaller nm so probably better battery life all things being equal, and you can get 4GB more memory than the prior maxiumum which frankly seems a small jump: are they minning the parts, to avoid spend they have modelled isn't needed? Everyone I know maxes memory and nobody complains "oh gosh I got too much memory" much to me.
At some point he explained that this isn't racist because he could imagine an alternative universe where black people weren't dumb and violent, and in that universe he'd have 0 problems with black people.

> Having some actual Computer Science in your coding can be a huge boon.

this is so, so underrated... i could get pretty flame-y in defense of this point, but a lot of said flame, admittedly, "doth protest too much", as someone trained to (allegedly) be a computer "scientist". but what i will say is that if i had a dollar for every time that software i rely on breaks and/or sucks because there is not enough "science"... there would be a lot more software that actually "works" (tm) in the world (xD).
In the age of LLMs this seems like a waste of time to even think about constraining and formalizing languages. Why should human users restrict themselves in their expression if LLM systems can easily point out any remaining ambiguities?
This seems overall well-written and well-explained, but curious for that piece on fine-tuning. This article only recommends it as a last resort. That makes sense for a casual user, but if you're a company seriously using LLMs to provide services for your customers, wouldn't the cost of training data be offset by the potential gains you have and the edge cases you might automatically cover by fine-tuning instead of trying to whack-a-mole predict every single way the prompt can fail?
I find it pleasant, snappy.

There was a similar argument for not improving the efficiency of software in general - why bother to improve the design if upgrading the underlying hardware can double performance without changing the software?

It's not entirely invalid, but it does encourage a rather blasé attitude towards actually understanding the problem that you're dealing with.

My memory of Robert Lacy's biography of Ford is that he also introduced a simplified english for his migrant workers, as well as teaching them english in factory Schools.

I'm pretty sure South African miners used simplified english to get around tribal language barriers.
