While that sounds like a nice summer drink, it's not a mint julep.

Liqueurs can also be fairly approximated as "sugar and a little water" with flavoring. So, not all that different.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_julep - Mint julep is a mixed alcoholic drink, or cocktail, consisting primarily of bourbon, sugar, water, crushed or shaved ice, and fresh mint.
As others have mentioned, the real question is what your goal is and whether or not this is a step that gets you closer to realizing it.

If your goal is more leadership and less of an IC role, then what you're proposing is probably a step in the wrong direction.

If your goal is to live in Switzerland, then you just have to ask yourself if you're OK with the drop in order to achieve your goal.

If your goal is to make a change in type of programming being done (e.g. from web front-end to video games) then taking a title (and possibly pay) drop is reasonable. You're going from being an possible authority in a particular domain to someone who is learning. Your current skills and experiences will be highly valuable, you'll learn faster than others, but you'll still have a lot to learn. I don't know how things work in the EU, but here in the States most likely you'll find yourself needing to job hop again in 2-3 years in order to get back to where you originally were (or more).

Answering your actual question, though... I did make that leap in my career and it was worth it. The change I made wasn't so drastic as my example. I had an end goal in mind and came up with a path to get there. It took me a while, but each step was lateral (my current skills were highly applicable) and I learned a lot each step. My path was * video games * video game telemetry (databases and data ETL) * big data at Disney * biotech (where I am now).

TL;DR - what's your goal? Does this change get you closer to realizing it?
This is interesting, when I lived in London (20+ yrs ago) I had an AtoZ at home and a street map in my car. I got to know London pretty well in terms of walking around. At lunchtimes I would try and see how far I could walk in the hour and what interesting landmarks I could pass. I pretty much learnt to drive in London and would cruise around at night just because it was a cool thing to do when you'd just got a car.

When I've been back more recently, I still remember my way round for the most part but I find myself having to check myself by phone every few minutes, so it's more the confidence that I've lost. Most of the original knowledge came not from a map but just wandering aimlessly and remembering. Strangely I have a similar approach to hiking in the hills and often just wing it, although I generally have both a map and a phone app OS map in my bag.
thanks for that tip, i have PYREX measuring cups bought over 20 years ago that are still going strong, but this is good to know if i ever need to replace them with the same quality product.
The memory bus is overblown.

M2 Ultra has 800GB/s, which sounds like a lot until you remember a Xbox Series X has 560GB/s and costs $499. Or spend $800 and get a 7900 XT which has 800GB/s.

Think of the Ultra more of a GPU that happens to have CPU built in.
I agree with and respect the decision of the Invidious team to not close down shop, but wasn’t it just last week that the creator of Invidious said something like “If Google just asks me to shut it down I will”?

What was said was actually “ If they still ask me for whatever reason to stop working on Invidious, I’ll stop.”
> I think it's just cultural exposure rather than any sort of brain difference when it comes to map reading.

I'm not convinced of this. My oldest could read a map before kindergarten. He could navigate IKEA or the zoo. My middle child is hopeless even as she heads to college. We joke about sending the (much) younger brother with her so she doesn't get lost. It's only half a joke.

I've also had my time in the military (pre-GPS) watching a wide range of people fail spectacularly at land navigation. While the very poorly educated often did poorly and had little ability to abstract, the same bad navigation skills were on display with academy graduates who presumably already had more training before I ever saw them in the field.

There is definitely something innate to reading and navigating by map in my experience.
Because you believe that a wet paper signature is actually better or even verified?
And you have multiple levels of requirements in e-signature.
I got confused, as I thought you meant you edited the linked article. :D

So, yeah, this all makes sense. My assertion for it being more like reality was not that all data is denormalized. But if you have things like "color" or "configuration" of item normalized out so that the "shopping cart" is purely product ID listings, than that is just as inaccurate in other ways.

That said, it sounds like we agree?
I think Ruby is a pretty good language and I spent many years using it professionally but I can't imagine having enough motivation to work on the language implementation when it's so difficult to even parse the code. The amount of engineering time spent on this topic is bonkers!
You're more of a workspace user than I, ironically - considering how much I mentioned them! I use the tabbed layout, the lazy way out of many-workspaces.

I generally keep one workspace:display (three). Then splitting vertically/horizontally as needed. I use tabs as most would use workspaces

Left-most is a monitor with portrait layout, meant mostly for long-form reading. That's where Slack and other infinitely-going things go. This is WS #3

Center display/workspace is WS #1, unmapped things go here. It's a 4K display, I never share it - so it's a nice catch all for potentially-sensitive things.

Right-most is WS #2 - this is what I share, and is more 'the backup' for the primary. Things I do want to share are designated to go here

There's a lot of organization I did for 'autostarts', assignments, and shortcuts - that are kind of hard to explain... but easier to show

> Why don't you have Mr Beast financial or influence level?

> What's stopping you or anyone else?

Ad hominem fallacy. Life is not lucky for most people in the world. Don't really have to explain this if you look at how wealth disparity or how poverty trap works. You can wikipedia this yourself.

> why is that necessary to structurally improve healthcare?

Have you ever tried to intensely petition something? Or get an issue in front of your representative to take seriously? Do you know how much work and effort that takes? It's not simply doing an online poll. You literally have to go door to door every day to get signatures, to go out and talk to convince people to your cause, all the while fighting billionaire-funded counter groups and cops.

Everyone's gotta work to feed themselves and their families, get access to employer-only healthcare. People don't have time or money for intense political work. There's a reason why disinformation and interference in politics from Russia was such a big deal.. You have a state-level actor with state-level infinite money pouring into political groups creating societal havoc at the structural level. A regular joe can't do this kind of damage. Only people with serious money can.

The only other way things change structurally is through solidarity. Everyone protests in the streets. Cop reforms didn't come about because people asked nicely. People died and got mad.

So yea, unlike literally 99% of the people on earth who have to slave away at a job, if I had Mr Beast's money I would do the next step and fix issues permanently, because at that income level it's possible to give it a try. Instead, I see a few comments saying he spent a good chunk of that fortune on running a low quality burger chain lol.
Absolutely, but show what this will look like to the marketing team and they will, probably rightly, tell you that times have changed.

EOT? No, it’s not. You cannot discriminate against people because of certain characteristics. To do so is wrong. Race, age, gender, sexuality, nationality - and also religion.

You don’t need to be a qualified psychiatrist to have a moral compass.

I can’t believe I’m explaining religious freedom to someone on HN. This website is supposedly full of smart, enlightened progressives. We figured out it is wrong to hate people for their religion like 300 years ago?…
A bit of a tangent, but the thing that stood out most to me when I visited that mall was the spiral escalator. Apparently Westfield SF had the first long-term installation of one outside of Asia, and I'd certainly never seen one before.

It turns out London Underground experimented with the idea in the early 1900s – https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/blog/spiral-escalator-engineering... – but it took until the 80s for Mitsubishi Electric to build and install them at scale.

Oh, and the second thing that stood out there was the restroom setup. A non-enclosed unisex restroom area with staff managing a line of people and urinals overlooked by said queue. Certainly one of the more interesting ones. I assume to prevent drug taking or people sleeping in there.
Nice article! In this sentence

... open parenthesis character is ambiguous in this context. To get around it they made their grammar more ambiguous and then enforced that the actual grammar was enforced in their tree builder.

I'd change the second "more ambiguous" to "more lenient"

i.e. lenient meaning "grammar accepts more strings", ambiguous meaning "grammar is invalid"

I have seen this issue in Python's grammar as well, and it's mitigated by the new PEG parser
I wonder why more TVs which support OTA signals don't also include some FM radio (and now, HDRadio) mode. It seems it would be a pretty easy feature to support. Most OTA antennas are decently sensitive near FM radio frequencies, so the signal is probably already there for those who watch OTA.

These days though since practically all TVs sold are smart TVs I guess its largely seen as a moot feature as the TVs are probably sold with a Pandora app and maybe even an iHeartRadio internet app. I'd still prefer to just be able to tune to the FM radio stations themselves, and not all of them in my area are available by app (or, easily by app).
you can make a static site with NextJS too

Edit: And OP mentioned he suggested Hugo or some other solution which is miles behind tools in JS/TS world. Not to mention it is Python based and this team knew React

But now you need to store three appliances instead of one, and not everyone has a large pantry or kitchen.
Having seen others use GPT-4 for a bunch of business documents, I disagree. Its advantage is that it produces average-- (40-50th percentile) copy very quickly, but that quality degrades as you ask for documents that are more unique (ie not in the training set).

Incidentally, this makes a fine tuned version perfect for the government, which produces a shit load of low-effort documents, but today employs a bunch of morons to write them.

If you want a lot of text that you don't want to think about, LLMs are great. If you want text that is pithy or persuasive, it doesn't help much, even when you use prompting tricks (eg "you are a CEO/professor..."). By the way, this has convinced me that local LLAMA-scale models are the future, not massive remote GPTs.

It still strikes me as odd that Azure OpenAI requires you to have an actual company in order to use it. Open AI doesn’t have this restriction.

Look down the length of a Pyrex pan or measuring cup - if it's green, it's the cheap stuff, if colorless it's old Pyrex.
Not radio on the TV, but radio through the TV (cable):

Rogers Cable in Ontario Canada used to push AM and FM signals through their coaxiale lines and you could run a splitter into your stereo to get clean strong signal.

Great for large buildings, fringe areas and basements.

Wow. Best comment I've read this year! (Like, seriously. Kudos!)
As a thought, place all security patches that should not be considered for the NVD under a non-disclosure agreement.

Encrypt and sign them, and require a verified name, email, and phone for enforcement.

When the NVD publishes a prohibited patch, sue them to remove all your data from their system.
ChatGPT has a free tier that anyone can sign up for. It’s eminently usable.

Around the time of Windows 7 I stopped using anti-virus software and nothing happened. And for a long time before that, paid antivirus software (ESET NOD-32) wasn't finding anything. I think the simple rules of having a router with a firewall, not clicking random files, not using Internet Explorer, and keeping Windows up to date covered 99% of possible exploits, and the other 1% was luck.
Some of these points are perceived situations in which social status affects its outcomes without proof but here they are.
The main point is that if you have low status you will be treated differently which greatly changes your interactions with others.

1. You won't get treated fairly, someone with perceived high social status will get fairer treatment. This I personally witnessed in a hospital setting where the sole presence of someone "important" was notified in advance and they got more attention which means probably better attention to detail and therefore outcome in treatment. You might also receive worse service, such as in restaurants, flights, hotels. As people want to court and leave a better impression with someone in a social status

2. People will not respect you. As the article said status comes with respect. You might not judge others by their status but others will for sure judge you. They will talk behind their back about you and this will negatively affect any encounters with other people. Even if you don't judge others low social status will negatively discolor your interactions with others.

3. Also cause and effect might be inverted here. Low skill and ability in a specific domain usually leads to low status. Therefore other's treat you worse as your skills are of relative little importance in the domain. If someone in a tech setting can't solve trivial problems they will aquire low status and suffer in a multitude of ways. In the best case you will be ignored and assigned to tasks with relative little value. In the worst case you can't continue to work there. Just the fact that you have low social status should get you to worry. If you had better skill your social status would actually improve, at least to people that are in the same domain and value the particular skills needed there.

Either you suffer repercussions due to your low social status or you suffer repercussions due to the factors that lead to your status.
Ugh. I find these articles so annoying. Yes map reading isn't a skill most people need or want today. The goal isn't to view the map, it's to get from Point A to Point B. Understandably, some pople (nerds like us), will still love maps. But, for most it's extra-work for no payoff.

We could say the same thing about other outdated technology. "Kids today don't even bother to learn how to navigate by sextant, they're so lazy and lost". "I can't believe they don't teach how to use a loom anymore!"

Technology exists to free up mental power and to free up time to accomplish more rewarding tasks.

I could* learn how to use a loom and make my own clothes, but why would I possibly do that when I can by clothes made with slave labor for $1?

I could learn all the intricacies of using paper maps, but I have GPS/Galileo/GLONASS/NavIC/etc why would I bother? Maybe, if I were into exterme sports like backcountry-hiking (extreme when you don't hike), then it has a tangible benefit. But, I'm a lazy computer nerd and hiking directly conflicts with my laziness.

And then there's the "preppers" who say "Well what if GPS goes down!? How will you get to Taco Bell then!?" ... Okay, if things get to the point where navigation satellites go offline or become unusable, I'm probably dead, or otherwise hunkering down in place.

* But I never will.
Like I said, Reddit has seemed to have always (including now) received a pass when it comes to fake accounts responding to each other to make it seem Reddit had more activity then in reality.

I hope you are able to keep that idea in your head should you ever be in a situation where the damage caused by increasing your money is sufficiently abstracted away from your actions. History has shown us that many folks do not have that ability. The family I chose -- who helped start the opioid epidemic and caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands[1] are far from alone as people whose desire to make money caused significant and irreparable harm.

I'm not clear on the immediate benefit there. You are asserting it is easier to get answers out, as opposed to having to learn a query language?

If so, I think that makes sense. With the /major/ caveat that you are also making it even easier to get incorrect data out. No?
I say this calmly, it's wild for you because you're probably part of the privileged group of people who can sustain themselves with a steady job and has no problem paying for it.
Upcloud, Vultr, Scaleway, Linode, DigitalOcean, etc have all included managed k8s. I think the standards have moved up and it's pretty much a standard feature of most bare bones cloud now.

Los Angeles is the same. The Westfield in Century City has to be a flagship location and is constantly mobbed.
On the other hand reviewing and correcting text is often harder and requires more attention than writing it yourself: it's easy to miss something, and just assume "ah I think that's fine" (when it's actually not).

All things considered, an awkward sentence or two isn't really that much of a big deal compared to an incorrect assertion that was missed in review.

I also don't think GPT-4 is necessarily that brilliant at writing copy, but I don't really know how good/bad US government officials are so I can't really compare, but in other parts of the world I haven't really that much of an issue with it.
And a thing of tremendous utility.
Oxo would be a good brand to check - when I looked for a baking dish, I noticed that Oxo specifically mentioned borosilicate on the label.
The (urban legend?) I heard was that they changed the formula so that Pyrex couldn't be used for drug manufacturing.

While I haven’t gone so far as to attribute a numbering system to my organization, I have done well at organizing things into red-line distinctive categories. The idea is to create categories that _cannot_ overlap. If there’s any commonality between them that’s not useless, they need to be grouped at a higher level.

As an example, if you’re organizing your toolbox, you don’t mark a drawer “hand tools” because it’s a useless categorization. You mark one “socket tools” which will include everything from the sockets and wrenches themselves to adapters that connect a socket to an impact wrench (but an impact wrench does not go in there because it is not exclusively a socket tool). If it really does come down to something that may really fit in two categories (hey, there’s always exceptions), you put your mindset in the place of yourself when you want to look it up: what’s the most common situation in which you’ll be looking this thing up?
It's all approximate. People are not fully rational, but they are not fully irrational either.

Exactly, it seems like a clear eyed instruction manual for the time.
sounds like a variation of that old MIT startup called Tilera, very lightweight CPUs with high performance interconnect fabric. at that time I remember thinking it was a solution looking for a problem.

IDK whats wrong with that architecture for AI/ML but I feel too much overhead in full on CPUs. I guess thats where lightweight risc cores come in. Personally what I'd like to see is a clever architecture utilizing a grid architecture with a stack based process for communicating with local nodes using a bare minimal language like forth so extremely light 'nodes' to do matrix math & nothing else.
Private Equity. Instant Pot had great cashflow but slowing sales, so the PE owners issued $450M in new debt and then immediately paid out $250M in dividends to themselves resulting in the company carrying 8x leverage compared to the 4x it had prior to the financial engineering. Further slowing sales and all the cash being stripped from the company ends up with bankruptcy every time.
Ambigious does not mean invalid
Absolutely true. That said, in practice, if you can hit a high score (usually extremely high anyway), you can hit the next one. It doesn't get harder to do, you just have to be consistent.
