Learn how to learn what you want so you can learn what you need that they're trying to gatekeep from you. The certifications/degrees are mostly meaningless. Yes, the academic setting can be helpful, but comes with so many toxic cultural components, it makes more sense to craft one's own learning environments outside of academia that are geared toward the science of learning.

You're not alone. I'm without a degree and conducting pioneering work as outsider science. We don't need the approval of or support from academia to do meaningful and impactful work. Learn how to creatively present what you can do so you can bypass standard funnels for things (like hand-delivering something you've made to demonstrate your skills to a hiring manager, bypassing whatever their hiring process is...people will poopoo this and try to tell you it's arrogant...let them sit in their own discomfort, as it has everything to do with their issues, not yours; if they ask if you think you're better than people using resumes, you can always say "everyone's better off leaving resumes behind because they'relargely bullshit. This is how it starts for me" if you believe it).

The metrics suck. Every human is infinitely valuable and anyone saying otherwise has a colonized mind. Also, seek out decolonization practices & therapeutic ways of being to protect from the self-harming thoughts/practices these systems naturally indoctrinate people into.

Remember: the moment you orient toward tearing down academia, they're locked in there with you, not the other way around. You become the torturer simply by being in a way they have no control/impact on. You are enough to liberate yourself from the torture by refusing to value harmful cultural norms and by speaking out against them. You are not alone in this.

As is, Nix would have to spend $108k/year to continue to host from S3. For comparison, OpenStreetMap's entire budget for infra/ops is 169,197/year (FY2023).
You may not be able to learn all of the culture, but if you're for example primarily living as a digital nomad in South America or other areas with a common language you for sure can pick up the language if you put in the effort.

I've lived my fair share of 90 day stints all over South America, and I did make the effort to learn Spanish. I started off 3-4 years ago with 0 Spanish and now I am non-native fluent. I can communicate clearly and don't have issues with speaking to natives and even have local friends in many of the places I have gone (I have revisited plenty of them more than once). I may not catch all the colloquialism of course, but I do try to learn them and the culture wherever I go (what is the local slang, preferred word choices, etc).

Unfortunately I do know a lot of Digital Nomads who unlike myself basically never learn the local language and stick to their bubble of other english speaking nomads. I think this is sort of a shame personally.
No,in this case it's different, the ice cream is still made in the ex-URSS countries and you can still try it and you can still not find anything like this outside.

Sometimes the HN crowd champions something so often and so enthusiastically, it starts to set off alarm bells. Signal, Mullvad, and Tor all seem a little bit too good to be true, and the amount of messaging I see to the contrary makes me suspect these might be honeypots targeted specifically at people who think they're too savvy to fall for honeypots. Not a strong suspicion, but greater than zero.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I pay for Mullvad anyway, if my worst suspicions are true then it will still be good enough to hide my petty torrenting from MPAA lawyers (which is beneath the concern of the CIA/etc anyway.) There's no way I'd trust it if I were in Snowden's shoes though. For anything that might plausibly interest the CIA/NSA/FBI, I would not trust these tools (or others) to keep me private.
So what? Making a doctor’s life better doesn’t preclude making everyone else’s life better. I think we should buoy everyone who isn’t in the capital class. This crab bucket mentality has got to go.
I made the leap because of what the parent plainly stated:

Same compensation. That’s the unique qualifier that was chosen. That’s certainly not no indication.

Luckily (at least for me) Nix makes building and packaging arbitrary software fun. There's something to hacking derivations together, reading documentation, seeing it build and work.

At this point, there isn't a C project I can't package in fewer than a handful of sittings. Even when patches are involved!

I know there is a rather large culture difference, but here in Norway the unions announce the start time of the strike some time before the actual walkout, instead of "you're striking right now".

If the employees here (and in the OP) did the same, they could start the strike by the end of one workday, so that no food/cement would be wasted as it it was never prepared.

Is this not possible in the US? Or is this a case of increasing one-uppance as the relationship between companies and employees is _that bad_?

The countries are mostly the same due to inertia and, frankly, there were no million excess deaths per year in USSR as there were throughout 90-s in Russia.

The inertia of lifestyle is such a massive thing, you cannot overturn it overnight, you cannot change it completely even in ten years.

During the USSR era you were able to travel freely. Even more freeer than today - you didn't even needed any passport to travel to huge distances, to Moscow or from it. You need one now.

Most of my childhood friends were children of Moscow newcomers. Their parents went to Moscow, got a job and then got an apartment to live there.
Of course it doesn't work. Homelessness is caused almost entirely by cultural factors that are getting worse. Therefore, homelessness has been and will continue to get worse.

Stop comparing the United States to small European States. The dynamics of low population largely homogeneous States and a completely multicultural State with over three hundred million people are not comparable. The problem and its solutions can not be and will not be the same.
Well, a a healthy retiree, maybe.

Almost exclusively submitting content from the same source might look like spam to the system. I‘d try submitting other interesting things that you come across too and see how that goes in the long term.
Take a look at this guy's setup. He put consumer modem into a closed outdoor box under the sun without any ventilation or cooling whatsoever. Given there is enough sun to power the solar battery, I'd bet the temp inside the box is >70 degrees C.

I am honestly amazed the whole setup lasted for so long.
If I saw that video as an investor, I’d pull my money. It’s so telling. All the “robots” do is pour sauce, spread it and then eventually put it in the oven and take it out? They still hire a person for the toppings. That’s like something my local pizzeria already does. A guy stretches the dough and lays it on a conveyer belt. They then have machines that are hand operated for the sauce and have the oven right in the belt. The pizza comes piping hot on the other side and a stamping like tool is used to cut the slices.

Anytime a ceo for a company that wants to replace humans with robots claims that the thing the robots will do happens best when done with love, run.
Yes, I was an unpredictable student. Sometimes As most times Cs. Went to a middle of the road university. Studied something that kept me in the sciences. Once I graduated, hit the ground hard programming at night after my job to transfer to it as my career. I’ve loved it since I was a kid, but I just didn’t have any encouragement to pursue in university and I do feel like I was written off by most people because of my grades. I’m a two time founder now and still code almost every day. I will until I die. I am still getting better every week at it (10 years into it professionally), I care about the details of what I make, and I love it!

How do you square the existence authoritarian party elite, which does include the billionaires, the idea that socialist societies are ruled by the working class, and that China is ostensibly socialist and going to be “fully socialist” in just 27 years? They’re going to eliminate the billionaires?
This post reminds me of the pre-steam days of gaming servers when certain clan members with fat pipes would host servers out of their homes or after-hours business racks, and often have little blog posts like this on their PHP-Nuke clan website or in-game MOTD, containing whatever little peril the admin had to deal with hosting the server... from kids tripping on wires to rats nesting in the chassis, it was always fun to read.

When resources are scarce, interesting stuff happens. Nowadays most outages are either due to expired payment, disk full, or provider outage. That's a good thing I guess? Just much less fun.
Indeed, same with the creation of hypertext, google, facebook and now bitcoin,they did, they still do and they will continue to do, that's part of their defense/offense strategy

Funny enough, the countries that spend a lot of effort into building their own stack are the ones designated as enemy, Russia/China for example, did they become immune to that strategy?
Wait how did you end up here?
I was always busy doing other things. School went ok, if I didn't like the subject I would get 5.8, 6's or 7's (5.5 score was enough). Almost was left back a grade, until my parents had me tested. The diagnosis was that I was well above average and not stimulated enough at school.

Not that it helped much, school was always boring. Then in highschool I started high but each year I went to a different level, because I was just doing the minimum I guess.

I had a great time at highschool, because of computers. Gaming, programming, the internet just started etc.

After highschool I went to middle level applied education. This was more slacking because I already knew it al (from hobbying, fixing computers and working in a computer store). I worked as a programmer in the last year and because of that i didn't finish it on time. A year later I got my diploma. A while after I started higher applied education and that was the same story, but this time I was working even more haha.

At that school I did learn a lot, also finished a year later than planned.
The one I do with dogs, cats and babies is much less sophisticated but works well. The left hand with the food is flat and open you pretend to pick it up with the tips of your fingers and move towards the spectator. Simply close the left hand and turn it over.
Yeah, rich people are "Global citizens" and utilize the entire work as we do the county we live in.
Many physicians still work in sole proprietorships or partnerships. From an employment perspective they are management, not labor.

Some physicians working as employees of large provider organizations are unionized. The government doesn't do anything to suppress this. Rather the opposite.

This is great! The whole project is useful. Thanks!
I like to do a bit of napkin math when storing batteries. I don't care what the technology or marketing says.

Think about it in terms of "A 33kWH battery roughly equals 1 gallon of gasoline". This is the most paranoid possible way to look at it, but it does help to establish some perspective. Energy is energy and if you don't really think it through, you may wind up with much worse than LTE modem/router fires.

Tesla power walls are an example of something I could never install in my home due to this simple math. I would not be able to sleep at night knowing there is a chance they could go up while bolted to my home. I've got one of those EcoFlow batteries (2kWH) for emergencies, but I keep it on a concrete slab (protected from weather) outside my home.

Go look at how a datacenter does their batteries if you want to get a sense of this very same paranoia at scale. All the DC-scale UPS systems I've seen typically consist of gigantic, low voltage cells installed in a manner expressly designed to deal with the worst case.

I think the density of the energy is what is most dangerous in my mind. A whole room full of lead acid batteries might not be very portable, but its a hell of a lot easier to inspect room-scale components, prove they are safe, and deal with emergencies before they turn into catastrophes.
I got terrific grades until very late in high school, when I realized it was all stupid busy work and I didn't care about any of it any more. Luckily GPA was still high enough to get into my pick of colleges.

Then I nearly failed out of engineering school (twice!) because all we did was tortuous math problems and we never designed or built anything, it was overwhelmingly disappointing. I came out of that program depressed and exhausted.

I graduated into a pretty terrible job market and managed to score a single offer for an entry-level engineering position. I finally had something real to do! I worked 60 hours a week teaching myself everything I had actually wanted to know, through a combination of digging up info on the internet and making a lot of rapid mistakes in classic "fail fast" fashion. And eventually I applied for a masters' degree program, which I did part-time (one class per semester) while working.

That was 20 years ago, these days I'm a "principal engineer" at a rapidly growing start-up. Still struggling with imposter syndrome from time to time.
I think we will begin to see more projects like this as it becomes trivial to take some leaked source code, and hand it off to an AI and tell it to make it non-copyright infringing.

Eventually the next natural progression is to hand over an entire program’s binary, and have the AI produce an equivalent code base in whatever language you wish.

In response, this will usher in a new era of very thin clients, or perhaps server based rendering of programs.
> The large, pedigreed, traditional institutional investors definitely prefer dealing with counterparties who they know have been in existence for years and have been regulated in the traditional sense

Of course. But I am not on their side. What ever crap Wall Street comes up with, I am not interested.

The 2008 Global Financial Crisis was because of the tradfi people.

They can try to build their own alternative to Bitcoin.

But at the end of the day, the tradfi are not the good guys. No one is. That is why Bitcoin was made.

Bitcoin guarantees control over your self-custody coins with cryptography and it uses Proof-of-Work to make it so that the network can continue to process transactions even in the face of bad actors.
People are familiar enough with LLMs to understand the nuance in their limitations. Many of these only become obvious when you transition from using it as a toy to using it as a tool.

We a novel tool like this comes out people take wild guesses about how to use a tool, jumping well past its capabilities. When they see limits, they jump back to zero (or close to zero) and try again.

Once your familiar with a tool, you know how to use it near its limits. Naturally, you’re going to feel more pain when you cross the limit. It won’t feel like you’re far away from a known good.

I suspect this is essentially all that’s going on. P

There seems to be always someone who comes along who hasn't run `file /usr/bin/fgrep` on a relevant operating system that uses GNU tooling and opines that "They could always just replace them with 2-line shell scripts.". There no doubt will be someone on Hacker News.

They already were 2-line shell scripts.

When Paul Eggert made the change in August 2021, xe changed a 2-line shell script into a 4-line shell script with an echo >&2 in the middle.

This is fantastic. All the specs are fantastic.

I think 2560p is a sweet spot, as 4K is just too hard to drive, and (to my eyes) its usable with minimal scaling.

My biggest concern with the framework 16 is cooling. The modular GPU inevitably excludes the huge, integrated heatsink designs something like a G15 would use.

Yes and so do all of my teammates and every senior engineer at a publicly traded company you've likely never heard of.

Again it's pretty standard anywhere in tech right now, startup or otherwise, to get 200k base + equity. Technically most startups I've chatted with also offer 300k+ TC... but that assumes the equity component eventually becomes liquid.

Around 200k base is very easy to get anywhere right now, and getting larger than that is a factor of how liquid your equity is. If you join a publicly traded company you should easily be able to get 200k base + 100k/year of RSUs

And to be clear: I'm talking about Senior Engineer level in the US. Most of these roles I've looked at are remote so the NY/SV part is not necessary.

edit: your profile says you work at a FAANG so this should be old news for you.
I had a barely used first generation iPhone in my safe and went to get it the other day to show it to some friends just to discovered it had blown up. It didn't look charred as your modem but it definitely exploded. Next day I ordered a few fire retardant boxes where I put all of my lithium batteries and power banks.
I know doctors who live a modest lifestyle, so it can be done. The leader of a band that I play in was an ER doctor for a while, then got a job at a walk-in care clinic, and retired at a young enough age to enjoy his retirement. During this entire time, he lived in a modest house, and mostly rode his bike to work. He lived within his means like the rest of us.

There's no law that you have to live a rich lifestyle. Part of that may be feeling the need to maintain the class status that you were born into, and that you expect your kids to be born into. Case in point, my friend came from a working class background.
I think the case of medical workers would be considered a bit differently, and deservedly so. Despite that, I think the Supreme Court's ruling on this case was essentially correct for this specific situation, although I think it's worrying to think about how this precedent set could be abused for different cases in the future.
I’m in my 50’s in the North East in the US. I did a little college but it also was not for me. Interesting that you mention “actual job setting with stakes”, that was my exact problem with college - my brain doesn’t like to work on artificial problems that have no point.

I have worked as a senior dev, architect and technology strategist for over three decades. The lack of degree almost never has come up. I started in pure tech, then was in capital markets for many years, where ability matters a lot more than academics.

Note that you have to be an autodidact for this to work. You have to be able to learn a lot on your own. This is a big problem for many, many people who need a structured learning environment to understand a topic. It is also somewhat unique to software developers and related roles.
This is why I cringe a little when people say "you can buy li-ion batteries for this much, therefore scaling it up to do renewable energy storage is cheap enough to do right now."
Seeing the carnage I thought that there were no fuses for devices powered from 12V lead acid battery and some few hundred amps went through device.

But, this is not really a failure of solar power system, just failure of a Netgear device. It seems that it used it's battery as a high current source for when it needed more peak power for wireless transmission, thus the instability and failures when just plugged to USB charger. I don't think such constant drain and constant recharge was really healthy for the battery. I wonder if it was/is stated in manual that it was supposed to be used charged and unplugged and not really as full time usage device.
I did poorly in high-school, and then did better in university. However, I went to a state university in a fly-over state which was limiting.

It wasn't until I started a company with friends that my career took off, and now I'm semi-retired building a platform as a service for funzies.

Life is strange...
I don’t think it was implied that there’s anything bad, I read it as the opposite.
Regardless of intelligence you clearly have the one thing that actually matters: Determination and resilience.

Seriously. Study after study has shown that the thing that matters most is resilience. The ability to push forward saying "I AM CAPABLE!".

https://medium.com/@ocarolinestokes/resilience-is-the-underl...

You clearly have that. Keep pushing on.

A counterpoint is that i have friends with PHDs who've never actually got a job post PHD and are generally angry at the world for not giving them what they deserve given their school proven intelligence. They are not determined to be successful despite any setback such as lack of job offers and because of that they simple aren't successful.

So you seem to be doing the right thing. Getting the informatics degree because it's the next best thing to the degree you are determined to do is the right thing. Push forwards. Don't ever for a second think of giving up.
I’m not from the US, but would the initial capex and the ongoing maintenance expenses for the robots really be cheaper than a couple of minimum wage workers. IMO, a better approach would be to start with “people in trucks”, and gradually introduce robots as they scale. Something like Uber’s vision of offering cheaper rides using self driving cars (but more realistic).
