Hey! 35yo dev here. If you could go back and give your 35yo self some advice, what would it be? (Feel free to make it specific to yourself; I’m just curious.)

You’re a bit of my hero since I aim to be a dev till at least 60. I barely survive Leetcode interviews now — in fact I can’t think of a single one I’ve passed. Having to interview at 60 plus sounds awful, mostly for the reasons you describe.
Hey thanks for sharing, I really like what you do, both in gen-art and in photography.

You wouldn't have an RSS feed by any chance? I'm trying to avoid social media but I'd love to continue reading about what you do.
Love seeing the posters for this, plastered across the decaying facades of abandoned buildings on Mission St, amidst the ragged people and "street vendors". It seems like a fitting place to advertise the project.
I'm asking because more often than not, commonly legal drugs are viewed differently, when some of them can be incredibly harmful.
> I think current Hollywood is a prime example of doing objectively bad art especially live action movies.

There are two movies out today that are famously doing very well and are quite good.

> They ignore the source material to make it fit their political agenda

It's one thing to use "thought terminating cliches" in posts, but actually believing them is nothing more than self-harm, so you should try stopping.
> It would be a never ending battle for both sides, and we would get even less done.

Heh, are you a Congressperson? Who is this "we"? The whole thread is people pointing out that "we" and the people doing the things are different. Congress has been on a quiet crusade against encryption since before Pretty Good Privacy in the 90s.

I remain confused about what people fundamentally see when they look at Congress. It would be a huge win for them to get nothing done and have nearly no laws, most of what they've passed for the last 30 years has been disastrous and encouraged the US in steadily unwinding financially and as a united political body. If the power isn't in Congress it'll get picked up by state and local governments where much more ordinary people will get a say on how they are governed. And do much less damage when they screw up.
So what, we can have a larger base of people negatively impacted when it inevitably falls over?
Why not just let everybody make multiple accounts? Spam? We need to remove the incentives that make people send spam. If there is universal healthcare nobody would bother selling viagra online. Harrasment? We need to work on reducing sexism in general. And so on.

I feel that sometimes the direction where technology "wants" to go points us to a better society. Fighting it and preserving the status quo leads to a lot of difficulites. The techno-optimists of the 90s had a good point.

If we imagine a world where almost every service is free, has an API, and little restrictions, the society that allows that is going to be much nicer than if everything is behind a paywal, controlled and sanitized, and cryptographically verified.
Your entire argument rests on the unfounded and frankly disgusting notion that addiction is a choice and not a disease.

Should people be held responsible for crimes committed under the influence? Absolutely, to a significant extent, though there are some gradations there. Should people be denied medical treatment for their ailments because some people believe they're a moral failing, when all the evidence proves they are in fact medical ailments? Absolutely not.
Yes. Anything that has an effect outside of the digestive system should be suspect.
Use nncp-go over sneakernet. Also, nntp can be user over i2pd just fine, lots of people using for the ethical opposite of CP; that's it, hugely ethical reasons, such as Ukrainian and Russian folks politely talking together and being fed up of the war.
Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
No you are totally right in that point.
Oysters love organic pollution.

Pipe some sewage into a bit of shallow sea with a rocky seafloor and in a matter of months you'll have a billion oysters.

The best oyster farms grow kinda close to sewage outlets...
Looking at the raw statistics, it seems that the US could do more to improve road safety

I'm not a traffic engineer, but I believe better street design (meaning slowing cars down) and roundabouts could help. Building more public transport is also an option, but it might not be a feasible solution due to US City design.

US: 12,9 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Europe: 9.3 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Sweden: 2,2 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Netherlands: 3,8 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants

Yeah its yc right. Sam has to approve
> Most of all, I don’t want my priorities re-ordered. And that is why I don’t use psychedelics.

Ok, good for you :) I suppose if you're lucky enough to already have a good life, psychedelics may not appear so relevant or appealing to you...

I've also known people claiming they don't want to use psychedelics, sometimes the reason is that part of them is actually afraid of what they may reveal or do to them, which is also a perfectly valid reason not to use them.

In my case, too many wrenches were thrown into my life, psychedelics made sense to me and indeed were a tremendous help for both my physical and mental health.

Another reason not mentioned here is that they're usually illegal, which is a whole other debate. My point of view is that it should be a personal choice but that you should be somewhat educated about what you're getting yourself into.
My current job involved a relocation to another country. Now I know how to call it: a very remote job. :)
I lack the FOMO gene.
Thanks, I'll share there!
I was quite the arrogant atheist most of my life, until I tried psilocybin and I regret not having tried it much further. It lessened the symptoms of my depression with a long lasting effect and increased my creativity and broadly extended my mind in terms of being more open to various concepts I closed myself off of before and was much more in tune with my emotions, going as far as having friends and family ask me about my change in behavior, in being more open with my emotions and telling people that I care about them and love having them in my life.

I discovered Carl Jung and Terence McKenna and rediscovered Philip K Dick shortly after my first trip and I definitely see the world with new eyes.

It has often been a struggle though, because you may notice that certain people in your life won't accept someone with a less materialist approach to life.

Of course I kept my strict distrust of organized religion and I've not become succiptible to any cults.

YMMV, of course. No medical advice, you know the speech.
> Where it doesn't, it's because people at large don't want it. That's it!

"People at large don't want", after the government spent decades brainwashing the population about the supposed dangers of drugs with sustained propaganda? By that standard North Korea and Russia are fully democratic countries, too, the population just happens to support things that their governments are doing!
All female software devs reading this just got extremely uncomfortable, and this comment chain no doubt brings up childhood body image issues — issues that men can’t know what it’s like.

I point this out from the sidelines in case any thoughtful devs reading this might want to reflect on their behavior. It wasn’t till I married one that I started to reevaluate mine.
> There’s serious hate for Apple amongst techs.

Really? Wow. My anecdotal experience is that most people in tech are blind fans of apple.
Such a brief and personal take. Not worthy for the front page of Hacker News, IMO.

I had not used psychedelics until a few months ago ("'shrooms"). At the time, it caused me to be giggly, weak-limbed, and a little nauseous or hungry. Afterwards, it may have contributed to me being more open to my emotions and desires. I can't place the cause on the drugs specifically, but I'm glad I've tried them several times for the experience and am looking forward to again when in the right headspace.
I'd remove that page entirely, perhaps in favour of one that simply lists the definition of the Gamma function (which is basically the formula there right now).

You can't summarize Feynman's trick in one formula. At best you can list an example, and I'd argue this isn't the best one.
I see them currently: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Perhaps some form of glitch?
Christ?
Don't you think, it is also possible that psychedelics can make your focus shift on something weird and not beneficial?

Or are psychedelics guaranteed to give always correct and sacred answers?

That would be news to me.
As far as I understand NULLs were indeed a pragmatic choice, but the chief reason was the need to compute derived table values. E.g. in a join it is normal to get unknown values for a cell. This has to be expressed somehow. How? NULL seems to be a reasonably good generic solution to this. It may be possible to come up with a different generic solution, but such a solution would probably require something like conditional fields in a table and this is a whole new level of relational logic.
The 2nd image - I very, very much doubt that's harm per user. "Overall harm" almost certainly doesn't mean that, and then harm per user is a very important metric.
My first thought was "ship's biscuits".
> If Von der Leyen wasn’t corrupt, I’m sure she wouldn’t have any problem handing over her texts.

Are you talking about Pfizer related text messages or earlier German MoD/McKinsey text messages?
There is nothing wrong to be content, I guess.
Hypothesis:

There is a visceral reaction to having light shone in your eyes and imagining light being shone in your eyes.

There is a perception of danger to the eyes from scanning vs danger from finger print scans.

Also on a more emotional level, eyes are seen as the place where true emotion is shown.

“Look into my eyes and tell you aren’t lying”

Having your eyes scanned therefore feels more intimate, meaning a higher barrier to acceptance.
That’s not “solved”, that’s highlighting what the problem is.
Which assumptions from the constitution do you think need to be rewritten? They seem to have aged astonishingly well to me, although I think they should be extended in many cases, eg. limiting government ability to mess with encrypted communications. Rewritting them in this day and age would surely limit our rights further.
The frontend of the website is quite nice, how did you built it ?
Well, Tyler is a notorious rationalizer and manipulator. Getting closer to a truthy path would indeed throw him off course.
A few days ago OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT driven verification with their discord of 1.7M people, threatening to kick everyone who does not connect their accounts. Now Worldcoin is here to add identity to their web of integrations.

How long until Worldcoin verification is a req to use ChatGPT? Can almost bet identity is going to be a big part of the "safety" push they are lobbying for. Obligatory "safety" is not moderation and moderation should not be censorship.

China should play a key role in shaping the artificial intelligence guardrails needed to ensure the safety of transformative new systems, OpenAI Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said.
I would say worldcoin ranks somewhere slightly above monkey nfts, slightly below dog coins round these parts.

Sam Altman himself ranks very very slightly above the Sam Bankman Fried
> Yeah, disagree. College sports generate a significant amount of revenue for the university, which funds scholarships for a huge number of students that otherwise couldn't afford to go there.

This is objectively false for the small college I went to… in any case, you ignored my whole comment, even if it does make money, I don’t want it because this money corrupts beyond just the one university. It changes expectation for all colleges and universities. Now my NCAA division 3 college has to go to donors and beg for flood lights for the football stadium. This is time the UA people could spend on begging for dorms or chemistry lab equipments.
This looks like some regulatory induced certification bureaucraziness stunt that creates all sorts of funky stuff already within such megacorpos. Because time is money, the solution is usually the one they can take with the least resistance. Consequences down the line are an afterthought, and I'd bet someone mentioned that this would cause problems and it got waved away for not being important / other solution(s) being too expensive, this sort of thing, as usual.

Throw in a magic tech cauldron biometric data, "AI" and crypto and wait to see what sort of abomination emerges.

How did tech become so dystopic in such a short time? Does it say something about the tech itself (the nature of hardware and software), the mental and moral substrate of the techies building it or how current society embraces and supports new possibilities opened up by technology.

It does feel as if a vast multitude of non-dystopic tech universes is simply starved of any chance to grow.

There must surely exist an antidote to this poisonous coctail, a tech segment that has an unequivocal feel-good factor associated with it?
"still the *same* render engine" is poor wording on my part. Of course they overhauled/reworked things, dropped support for ActiveX and a lot of backwards compatibility stuff. So it probably would be more accurate to say it's a fork of the old engine.

That edgeHTML starts at version 12.0 is a hint for being a continuation of that lineage - but there's also a few bugs/idiosyncrasies edgeHTML has inherited from Trident.

I remember that edgeHTML did spoof the user agent so browsers would not detect it as IE, and would not apply IE specific hacks and polyfills. And that would cause problems with some web apps, that could be fixed by re-enabling a select few hacks/polyfills.

It's been a long time ago, so I don't remember what specifically it was... sorry.
Exactly, can a (small) startup CEO do this? Will the investors approve?
It’s missing the point.

The issue is always about whether Apple makes it viable for independent developers to create products on their platforms successfully, not whether the community is willing to try.

I know a TON of people ready to go developing apps and pushing their talent towards this platform already. But it’s going to have to be curated properly by Apple and not made into a corporate toy or used to harvest the best features for incorporation without the trouble of acquisitions in order to succeed.
That existed in the late 90's with the Spice Girls and preteen/early teen girls doing girl bands mimicking the dances in every school in Europe.

Yet no one gave a shit. This is the new Satanic panic, a scapegoat to avoid focusing ourselves on important shit.

Paranoia sells, and it's the main fuel of the US style Capitalism, getting a full panic state almost monthly in order to be a mindless consumer.

OFC satanic panic was the same crap, in order to keep the children and teens away to non-consumit (read: TV and mainstream toys, music and movies) so the industry didn't collapse in a few years. And, yet, thanks to internet, years later, they did.
Typescript does have full unions, although only partially discriminated ones (in the sense that `number | string` is discriminated but `number | number` is not - custom discriminators can be written fairly easily though). This resolves the problem that the previous poster had - nullability is not some magic trait of certain types, but rather a function of the general case of union types. In that case, `string | null` is no different from `string | number`, and null is just one possible type among many.
If your penny is consumed by the toss, maybe use a bit less force? At least wear impact-rated safety specs.
Is he also going to reveal when the site is going to actually work properly again or nah?

Now he's promising "the future of financial transactions" on a site that can't serve more than 600 tweets per day per user. The type of scheme that only blue-checks would be naive enough to fall for.
Of course rehabilitation does nothing for the victim, its a process that is concerned about the offender.
Well, probaboy not, depending how you count and what you believe. But yes, there are other metrics for role models, except long life.
It's also not that uncommon for people to build intentionally bad plotters (I've done it), because the results when you stick a picture through the process have their own charm.
I dislike Apple as well, but judging people just because they work with their software stack is... inappropriate?

May I ask how you make a living in modern society?

Lots of people contribute to walled gardens to produce the food you eat. Heck, the constructor of your roof literally contributed to your walled garden...

I don't think anyone has a choice, unless you go back 10,000 years and live like a hunter gatherer...
license issues apart, virtualbox guest tools for windows are awesome: clipboard sharing, drag and dropping files, network shares, auto window resize, etc just work out of the box.

With KVM/splicetools it is always a pain to setup that.
Not sure if you noticed, but having success is determined by (optimistic estimate):

- 25% hard work (required for most people)

- 75% luck (where you are born + how you were raised/educated + general luck)

It is called life/birth lottery for a reason.
How? It doesn't add any functionality relevant to most users and you have to download it separately from Virtual Box itself.

That would make sense.
It is quite obvious that the author has absolutely no idea what psychedelics are, what they can do and what they are used for (both recreationally and therapeutically). I am wondering why anyone would think they are in an adequate position to write anything about a topic, even though they neither did proper research whatsoever on the topic nor have their own experiences in the matter. This is equivalent to throwing garbage out into the world.

My favorite part:

> I would rather get execution right, and remain on the same mental track I have been on. I also don’t want my priorities re-ordered, or suddenly to feel that now I have grasped the true nature of the universe, and that x, y, and z are in fact meaningless. Let’s stick with the process, people!

Having this mindset sets you up to a gloriously ignorant life. It is basically programming yourself to lie to yourself until you die and be happy with it. You are scared to find out the truth, because it might hurt in one way or another - or set you free. Nothing truly great ever came out of this - but the exact opposite...
What if you have purchased movies on YouTube? Would Google still delete your account for inactivity?
>> For me, my hook shot was the one kick practiced 10,000 times

I honestly think Kareem is being a bit modest here. His one weird shot completely changed basketball for a couple of decades.

I went to school with one of Kareem's kids who's now a neurosurgeon (although, looking back, I have no clue how any of us even graduated high school). The father, Kareem, is an honest to God treasure of a human being who has just always had this need to go farther out to discover new facets of what makes existence worthwhile. I didn't even know about his connection with Bruce Lee, but it makes a ton of sense now.
Thanks, this is incredible! As a Doyle fan, I didn't know this and am looking forward to reading Kareem's novels.
But people will create bombs, like they don't do now.
How frequently do you consider taking psychedelics at work? I suspect I know the answer, and that you can see why that line of reasoning is a bit dishonest
It seems ironic to make this statement on news.ycombinator.com: you do realize that Sam Altman was also president of Y Combinator some time, right?

It's interesting how eye scanning seems so Orwellian and potentially oppressive even though the intention was to use it to support an extremely leftist goal (universal basic income).
Really? Not because its highly addictive and toxic to your body or because it's so illegal that you basically can't get it in a verifiable pure form? Not trying to be insulting here, but heroin is possibly the last drug I would've associated with getting my "priorities re-ordered". I wouldn't even think of brining it up when talking about about naturally occuring psychelic drugs such as psilocybin, DMT or ayahuasca.

Can you talk more about it? What kind of things are you designing? How detailed are the designs?
OpenAI’s CEO calls on China to help shape AI safety guidelines
I’m far from being antivax but if you look at the thousands / millions of deaths caused by religious wars and / or strict societal control in history and up to today I’m not sure I agree with your statement that antivax people are way more dangerous than organized religion.
Only benefit is companies not having to pay ARM. The architecture NEVER WAS A PROBLEM for open, it was always the binary blobs required to run IP blocks put on the die with the cores that stopped people from using them.

ISA is the easy part. Even if you need to RE it, you only need to do it once.

Now hopefully with RISC V companies will be even more inclined to just upstream their drivers from the start (and not do the abominations that happen way too often on ARM side), but the ISA never was a problem for that.
I mean there is, you send out randomized credentials "please use these for your next login". And if someone lost access to their e-mail address, the proof of ownership would be the same as it is today (aka sending receipts, keys, etc.).

But lets really be honest: These kind of companies dont give two sh*ts about security leaks and GDPR infringements, as is demonstrated almost every other week by news. Privacy or legal compliance is most certainly not the reason they are doing this.
If there is one AI startup I dream about building, this is the one.

If you buy a company for $44 B, you better save money on the logo.
First create a few tasks (suggest 3-5), describe them as much as possible, then identify what skills would it take to do these tasks, then reach out to you network with request, for example, “I have a task to build user registration API, do you know anyone with Django/Python experience who might be interest in taking this on.”

IME, having been on both sides of similar situations, such “specific” approach works much better than “part time, inexpensive help” to take on tasks whenever I need. One shows you are proactive, prepared and in need, other shows you are just exploring, fishing to see if you find a resource, and don’t want to spend any time identifying needs until you have a resource committed already.
Don't try to argue with this guy. He is in every thread about battery claiming hydrogen is the best thing of all time. He has fully bought in to the hydrogen propaganda and doesn't care that the real world doesn't agree with him.

I used to that for the most part already on a third of the income (for a 2 bedroom apartment and no kids to be fair).

Biweekly maid service where they clean the dishes, the house, and do laundry. It wouldn't be much more expensive to change that to weekly and include cooking too if you wanted.

If you wanted to get a full time nanny though that's probably out of reach, but I don't understand why you even had children if you're just gonna pay someone else to raise them for you.
