I feel like I’m somewhere in this comment. For me, the stress and worry about things going on in my life eventually led to full burnout. Those periods of flow were what kept me going, and when I could no longer find them, it only compounded the stress.

I ended up going on a self-funded sabbatical to focus on sorting out my personal and internal life, and the #1 change that has led to rediscovering deep focus was starting a mindfulness meditation and yoga habit each morning. These core habits led to changes in how I was relating to the worries and created space for me to sort through the underlying stressors.

YMMV, but I realized that some of the things I was worrying about were just consuming energy (despite being legit concerns), and I started actively reframing worries using some of the exercises in the book “Learned Optimism” (Martin Seligman, 2006). This book also made me realize how deeply hardwired my pessimistic defaults were, and these defaults were the source of a lot of my daily rumination and worry.

All of this to say, if you are at all similar to me, it might be worth considering the lack of ability to find flow a big red flag worth actively investigating. I don’t know if I could’ve avoided burnout, but I’m sufficiently convinced now that internal work is one of the most important (and accessible) ways of addressing this.

Even if the calculations for how to attribute income from different places would be difficult to decide upon precisely, and doubly so if the calculations are used to determine a penalty fine thanks to the possibility of being gamed, it can probably be guessed at without too much error in cases where Goodhart's Law doesn't bite.
I have a bet going with a co-worker regarding the state of this conflict by the end of the year. He gets his information from what would generally be considered "reputable mainstream sources" and I from the "darkweb underbelly" of the internet. It'll be an interesting test to see if I have been able to discern between the truth and misinfo, and whether the institutions behind his sources do a better job at vetting information, or are just propaganda mouthpieces. He thinks Russia is about to lose handedly, I believe large swaths of Eastern Ukraine will effectively be part of Russia going forward. We put some money down. Time to see which epistemological approach wins out.
When people talk about having or not having power, they rarely mean magnitude alone. The more important component is control. Can you wield your power to achieve some specific goal of yours? Can you use this power to overall improve your life, and lives of those you care about? Can you use this power to protect yourself from someone else using their power to achieve something at your expense?

Beej's teaching power only answers "Yes" to the first question here - and that's only if your goals have something to do with teaching or improving the world overall, somewhere, for some people.
I think it's because people treat the news of an infection of their network the same way they do when learning they have an STI.

It's not that obvious at all, actually even under their question section they state the subscription is not required:

- Does an HP+ Printer require a subscription to the Instant Ink service or rother ongoing costs?

"No, there are no additional costs associated with HP+. You can choose to enroll in an optional subscription for Instant Ink and receive 6 months subscription, but it is not required."

Mapping between ligands in PDB and cognate ligands as being annotated in UniProt is improving :) my UniProt curator colleagues are working hard on this. Though a lot was made possible by re-annotating all cognate ligands with ChEBI.
As I understand it, the US didn’t really have contactless payment pre-apple/google pay _at all_, so it’d naturally be a harder transition than in places where it was already rolled out.

Even today, you’ll occasionally see terminals in Europe which don’t actually support Apple Pay as such; it’ll work, because it acts like a normal contactless card, but only up to 50 euro, because the terminal doesn’t know it’s authenticated.
Yeah, as if they have to pay that fine next week.

I’ve found ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and a new one called Codeium extremely useful for refactoring code, explaining unfamiliar code, generating test data, implementing common algorithms, building and explaining regular expressions, writing documentation and user stories, even estimating and planning.

I would encourage you to experiment. Codeium is free to use and had ChatGPT-like features.
Great link. The RUSI article on "The Return of Industrial Warfare" was also really informative.
Yep. You're right. It's really just nav blocking that's killing the drones. I wonder if there's a way to have these drones operate without a need for GPS. Instead, use cameras to read terrain and map that against the known terrain...

I think I see what you mean, in the sense that without the substance the trip does not exist. The distinction I was trying to make was between the subjective experience compared to potential brain changes induced by chemical reactions.

The "chemistry" side of the debate would be that the trip is a side effect of the substance modifying neurological pathways (or similar), but what is actually important are those physical modifications to the brain, not the experience.

The "trip" side of the debate would be that the only important thing is the experience, and that whether it is induced by drugs, fasting, meditation, prayer, video games, etc. does not matter that much.

Obviously, there is also the possibility that both sides are valid: the fact that the experience can be transformative in itself does not prevent the physical effect of the molecule on the brain to be beneficial as well. There is even the possibility that one of the two has a positive effect, while the other is rather negative.
This kind of headline made some round in Twitter a while ago and got justifiably ridiculed, so let me repeat those old points here.

The study states "agents used for anesthetic maintenance included intravenous propofol and inhaled sevoflurane or isoflurane." All three have some known antidepressant activity:

- propofol: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6276046/ (This story was pretty big back then, as propofol's a common electeoconvulsion anesthetic.)

- sevoflurane: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8851135/ (tiny sample, but idea comes from other tiny samples where it worked)

- isoflurane: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23922809/

Does it mean this study is meaningless? No, but it definitely does not prove what the abstract wants to say. What it does show is well-summarized in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36030251.

See replies under https://twitter.com/jonahdavids1/status/1654842991331213313.

(And no, having general anesthesia work about as well as ketamine does not make ket useless either. Ket is less likely to stop you from breathing. And you can stay awake, even non-hallucinating [see: nasal sprays], while it works.)
Ask HN: Are there any Hacker News meetup groups?
I saw that the same question has been asked before, but it's probably worth it to get a more up-to-date answer.

I don't have too many "HN type" people in my social circles (anymore) and was wondering if there are any meetups I could participate. Mostly I would be interested in Helsinki, Finland area meetups, but I guess others can use this thread to find groups in their area also.

You know, you're not "wrong", but I do kind of feel like it's sort of a depressing state of affairs that HP is just allowed to break stuff and remove value from the economy, and it's a profitable decision for them.

Like, fundamentally an economic model should incentivize the creation of value; I buy a widget from you for $N, you get $N, and I get to own something that is worth $N; if HP is actively sabotaging existing printers/cartridges, it just feels like it's subtracting value.
For over 20 years now, professional woodworkers have had SawStops, devices that literally use an explosive charge to ram a block of aluminum into the blade of a table saw when it detects that the blade is touching something that might be a human body part. These are $50+ devices that destroy themselves on use (and often destroy the $50+ blade they’re used on), they have a high false positive rate, and yet they’re still in heavy use and very popular with professional woodworkers. Table saws also have riving knives and sleds with clamps, both to prevent kickback. All of this on top of constantly educating woodworkers to be responsible and use push blocks instead of their hands, to boot. All of these safety features exist on table saws because we did educate woodworkers on how to be responsible, and we still saw that the average table saw will cause more than one injury in its lifetime. I’m actually really glad you brought up woodworking because table saws are a perfect example of how we saw “this is risky, be responsible” was inadequate.
Personally, I think blanket immunity may be too extreme. "Algorithms" and other manipulations designed solely to benefit the promoter/publisher need to be excluded.

This is the motivational basis for privacy invasion and is a fairly clear distortion and manipulation of "free speech".

If your content is being promoted over mine, my speech is arguably *less* free than yours. Effectively, my speech is being diminished and penalized by the promoter/publisher's "algorithm" --- most likely for their own gain somehow.

User feedback (as implemented on HN) is not an "algorithm" under the publisher's control. Neither is reasonable editorial review unless it is motivated and directed to solely benefit the publisher. For example, removing content that violates a uniform code of conduct (profanity for example) would not be considered a benefit only the publisher.

Like most things in life, this is not a simplistic black/white issue but one with varying shades of gray that needs to be judged on a case by case basis.

Why not? It can be good enough to identify a pattern to focus more precise study on.

"I'd rather not understand this at all if we can't have a perfect understanding" is a harsh and anti-science stance on this imo.
No, i expect a better AI who can do prompt engineering for me based on my original idea.

We acknowledged that Prompt construction is the most important part about this LLM thing. So i prefer to have a smart AI to do that for me from my idea instead.

So, no more AI Prompt ENgineering guide bullshits.

Because spent tons of hours to construct a correct Prompt is a joke to me. It's a waste of time. Let's AI do it first.
>Are there a lot games where a 4090 owner would have a meaningful advantage over an 3060 owner in a competitive environment?

Yes, all of them benefit from being able to push high framerates at resolutions the 3060 (and 2070 and 1080) can't get to. A high framerate is a meaningful advantage for a bunch of reasons, but so's a higher resolution- doesn't matter if an enemy's movement is smooth if your screen is too blurry to positively identify them.

Sure, the 1080/2070/3060 can run 4K at 30Hz, or 1440p at 90-100Hz (this is why that whole G-sync thing exists- it's designed to help hide framerate drops from those cards), but the 4090 is significantly more powerful than those are and can push 4K at 144Hz.
Part of the problem - one that I'm kind of surprised DEI people wouldn't be acknowledging - is that we are all "differently online".

Many people will be familiar with the "Karen" meme through the various news stories of a woman calling the cops on a person of color who's neither breaking the law nor acting suspicious. But other people know "Karen" as a stereotypically entitled woman (yes, probably white) likely to demand a manager, a refund, whatever. Nothing explicitly connected with race (except her own).

So on the one hand, you have "Karen" as a way of calling out racism by white women. On the other, you have a stereotype of an entitled woman that leans very much on her whiteness but not her own racist behavior.

Taking the former interpretation to be some kind of factual truth is ridiculous. There is no official single definition of "Karen", no official alignment on some "wrong vs right kind of racism" axis. It's a meme, an amorphous collection of related ideas that no one owns or is responsible for.

I am deeply skeptical about the sudden rise of DEI "professionals" and this story does nothing to relieve it. At a minimum, you have to have empathy with people who don't share your opinion, or whose background leads them to different conclusions. Where is that here?
Poor choice of title: the article doesn't fulfill the promise. It's hard to discuss this article because of this large discrepancy.

Isn't that exactly what 'subscription' means? Read the contract.
You don't have to subscribe, you can also buy your own ink.

I'm currently happy with our Epson EcoTank ET-5150. Ink prices are reasonable (no cartridges). There are subscriptions available for Epsons as well, and you can pay per page, but it's not required. Just click no.
Not OP, but not really. I do not hate it, but enjoyment is not something I get out of coding. It has gotten better over the years, as I have become a better programmer. Liking what you are good at is natural, after all.

Still, I failed to find a career where what I enjoy is tied to what I am getting paid for. I am pretty sure that is the case for most people around the world. Life can be good regardless (and is for me), but actually enjoying what you are doing professionally, that is a cheat code for living well.

That seems astonishingly high, but on second thoughts the whole point of drones is that they're effectively an expendable munition, and if you lose one it counts as having advanced to contact.

Drones are really limited in their autonomous abilities and vulnerable to GPS jamming. Someone needs to work on image-based return to base navigation.

Based on other similar threads, people tend to suggest Brother. Are there any other (slightly better) alternatives?

I need to replace my current color&laser Brother MFA . The printer still works but software support (on MacOS) has been discontinued. (The profile for CUPS comes with some helper bin/utility, it’s not a plain profile file). Also worth mentioning, the (smaller, not high-yield) color cartridges used to be ~$45 on and now they go for $70.
Of course I've heard of man pages. But IDEs haven't. If I write a Bash script, or a Gitlab pipeline, or a Dockerfile, I get little to no feedback at all from my IDE whether I've misspelled a parameter, pass an incorrect value etc.
If you cancel your magazine subscription, do the magazines you have already received vanish, or become unreadable? An ink subscription should be exactly the same.

I don't want forward secrecy for my email. I actually want to keep my archived emails for an indefinite period. PGP allows me to do this in relative safety, the email is encrypted once at creation time an then stays encrypted. In general, forward secrecy does not work for the case where someone keeps the message. If the attacker can own a user well enough to get their secret key material, they will also get any messages that user still has access to.

Things might be different for a relatively insecure medium like IM but the same principle applies. Most IM users keep their old messages around thus negating the value of forward secrecy.

>For email or IM we don't want non-repudiation a lot of the time.

We might not, but the people we send our messages to will want to prove we sent it. Otherwise you open yourself to harassment and general abuse. If you don't want to sign your emails then you don't have to. Deniability through claimed forgery doesn't really work anyway:
