The value prop is to hire fewer junior devs or even replace them. They don't mean to help junior devs.

Also, I'm not sure if you'd enjoy writing code for those "grunt work". I'd love PRs that I can easily check correctness for and would get some small job done.
I never use `resources` though have no beef with `pipeline` or `scope`, though I haven't thought too much about it. It is a little weird getting used to which modules are getting auto-qualified and which aren't, but I'm long passed that. And that is actually what is "fixing" the cyclical dependency issue.

What's wrong with the `use MyApp.Web, :x`? You can easily get rid of it as it's just generated boilerplate. It's a nice little pattern to allow all the different things to share the view helpers. If you'd like to be extra explicit, though, just delete the file and include everything manually.

I'm indifferent on views because I never really used them, haha.

> The Attorney General’s Office asserts Tyson Foods and 18 other chicken producers drove up the price of chicken since at least 2008, causing consumers to overpay by millions of dollars. The lawsuit asserts a widespread illegal conspiracy to inflate and manipulate prices, rig contract bids, illegally exchange information and coordinate industry supply reductions to maximize profits.

I am not a freelancer, so you can stop reading if you want. But I'd like to validate your burnout, which is very real.

It's also incredibly refreshing to do something totally different. I would choose wisely, though. Not really the same situation, but I went and became a naturalist guide at a nature preserve between my undergrad computer science degree and my Ph.D. Working outside not only totally refreshed me but gave me much-needed perspective. I think something similar can be said for pouring beers or delivering food.
Would that not mean you can't install any browser other than Safari? Because I'm running Firefox right now on iOS. Or does "ban" mean something else in this context?
Does anything withstand that? I don't think that's the responsibility of the original author, I think it is the responsibilities of all those devs and reviewers to make sure changes make sense and don't make the system worse.

Nothing can stop morons from ruining good code. Good devs will evolve code into something that makes more sense.
There seems to be 2 parts to the author's premise in this article:

1) There is historical evidence that a "crisis of masculinity" is a recurring cyclical charade using poorly defined criteria and that masculinity falls into a bucket of, "I know it when I see it."

2) In order to prevent this cycle from repeating and from masculinity being weaponized as damaging propaganda we need more researchers focusing on defining masculinity in every conceivable context in order to develop deep and meaningful frameworks to measure and confirm or refute this kind of manipulative propaganda.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with these two premises, just trying to provide a summary and see if I understand their point...
> If the loser got 0.6666c instead of 0.6c, and the winner got $1.50, then over time you'd break even, on average.

For what definition of "average"? Yes, the most likely outcome would be to break even. But if we mean "expected value" when we say average, then on average, that repeated wager would be massively profitable for us (in terms of wealth). Maybe a better way to view it is that it would be massively unprofitable for the casino offering it (this is more straightforward since the casino's outcomes are more ergodic than the individual's).

---

Maybe a more clarifying discussion would be: what if you could accept these wagers (let's say 0.6x and 1.5x) if you can use a bet amount of your choice each time? That is, you don't have to wager your entire life savings, but you could choose to make the bet with $1, with the outcomes being $0.60 and $1.50.

Then, this wager is clearly a free money machine, right? We can come to the conclusion that it is a free money machine by looking at its expected value. That's why I disagree that "you lose more than you gain" and I disagree that "this is purely a result of the distribution of returns from a single toss".

---

I guess I should concede that I agree with your reasoning, if we make the reasonable assumption that utility is the logarithm of wealth. In that case, I agree that I would be indifferent to taking a 0.666 and 1.5 bet for my entire networth, and that I would not take a 0.6 and 1.5 bet for my entire networth. However, I still contend that we can analyze the value of these wagers using expected value -- we simply look at the expected value of what we actually care about (utility), not wealth.
This was discussed in many threads during these layoffs. Specifically, people were upset that several companies were overhiring during the pandemic being overoptimistic on shaky grounds. But in spite of layoffs most of these headcounts remained higher than before the pandemic.

My take: everybody wants to foretell the future, and people on the two extremes are the most visible. Whereas in fact the present is so-so, not terrible, not excellent.
Nope, I tried, all documentation says that they are not supported.

> But then the issue is the networking, not the school itself

Yep.

Most reputable schools in the US are actually public flagships (UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UT Austin, UWisc Madison, UWashington, Georgia Tech) or private universities (MIT, CalTech, CMU, JHU, Amherst College, Pomona College) which don't actually consider alumni or legacy.

There are 2 concurrent trains of thought in opposition to legacy in the US

1. It's an insult to the meritocratic nature of the US. (I agree with this aspect)

2. Any kind of networking is an unfair advantage (I disagree with this, but plenty of HNers and Americans in general appear to agree with this)

In the US, there is an assumption that after legacy is removed, there is never a need for legacy and someone from Podunk State will have equal standing as an MIT graduate all variables being equal. This is never going to happen, as you know well in France as well. ENS or SciencesPo grads will always be viewed as "better" than, idk, Université Toulouse II (not picking on Toulouse, just randomly selecting a city and number).

Plenty of Americans want to remove this kind of hierarchy, period. In reality, even if that happens, networking will continue and elites will continue to send kids to elite grade schools.
Some packages require build-time dependencies not everyone has, like cryptography now requiring Rust. Some packages like SciPy take a very long time to build, and require a Fortran compiler.
things like this always have some underlying notion that there are objectively correct combinations of lines of code. There isn't. The cleverness problem can live at any level in a system.... this line is really clever because in <language> <data type> is really just a <other data type>, so if we use this <unrelated feature> we actually can do this all in one line!

You can also have system level cleverness, which is fine as long as you can explain the cleverness in a few sentences. Sometimes the data access layer is clever and the other stuff isn't....

at the end of the day, as long as you leave things such that they are easy to change, or at least you're brave enough to change them, none of it really matters. Someone is going to replace the "clever" code with other code that does more or less the same thing, and then next engineer will replace that code with something else.
I've followed your music (and PC Music) forever, and I love what you do with Tidal. AG Cook's work through PC Music and your own work has been a huge influence around where I've evolved my approach as a composer, so I want to say thank you for opening my eyes. I'll end this with a question -- what made you settle on Tidal vs other similar packages in different languages IE Sonic Pi (Ruby) and FoxDot (Python)? Is there something about Tidal/Haskell that fits your workflow or style better?

Yep, these bugs can be trivial but that initial context switch, creating a branch, etc tends to drain your energy.

How low can you get your expenses? What’s your savings?

Doing gig work might be fine if it helps you survive long enough. If you’re unwilling to get your expenses low enough though, then that’s not even on the table.

Always plan for more time than you need. If you need three months, make sure you have an extra six of padding, if you can. You may need it if forced into the job search or something unexpected happens.

One of my favorite feature is guessing the physical quantity from the dimensions. For example:

You have: A / m
You want: ?
H_FIELD B_FIELD / (mu0/mu0_SI)
MAGNETIZATION MAGNETIC_DIPOLE_MOMENT / VOLUME
Oe oersted
oe Oe
oersted gauss / mu0

The units definitions file also contains many interesting facts, here's an excerpt:

A ! # The ampere, symbol A, is the SI unit of electric current.
ampere A # It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the
amp ampere # elementary charge, e, to be 1.602 176 634 * 10^-19 when
# expressed in the unit C, which is equal to A*s.
#
# The previous definition was the current which produces a
# force of 2e-7 N/m between two infinitely long wires a meter
# apart. This definition was difficult to realize accurately.
#
# The ampere is actually realized by establishing the volt and
# the ohm, since A = V / ohm. These measurements can be done
# using the Josephson effect and the quantum Hall effect,
# which accurately measure voltage and resistance, respectively,
# with reference to two fixed constants, the Josephson
# constant, K_J=2e/h and the von Klitzing constant, R_K=h/e^2.
# Under the previous SI system, these constants had official
# fixed values, defined in 1990. This created a situation
# where the standard values for the volt and ohm were in some
# sense outside of SI because they depended primarily on
# constants different from the ones used to define SI. After
# the revision, since e and h have exact definitions, the
# Josephson and von Klitzing constants will also have exact
# definitions that derive from SI instead of the conventional
# 1990 values.
#
# In fact we know that there is a small offset between the
# conventional values of the electrical units based on the
# conventional 1990 values and the SI values. The new
# definition, which brings the practical electrical units back
# into SI, will lead to a one time change of +0.1ppm for
# voltage values and +0.02ppm for resistance values.
#
# The previous definition resulted in fixed exact values for
# the vacuum permeability (mu0), the impedance of free space
# (Z0), the vacuum permittivity (epsilon0), and the Coulomb
# constant. With the new definition, these four values are
# subject to experimental error.
We used to run Pegasus back when we had a Novel Netware server and it was brilliant. We later used Mercury Mail to host our own mail server on a regular desktop PC running Windows XP connected directly to the internet and offered staff a choice between Pegasus mail or Squirrelmail.

We eventually moved over to Gmail but I have fond memories of Pegasus mail in particular. A great piece of software made with a lot of love from the author.
What a blast from the past. I remember using pegasus back in the days. I loved it, not sure why I stopped using it. I guess gmail search function?
That isn't necessarily true. You're saying that the model weights would be a derivative work. Derivative work is insufficiently transformative to fully distinguish the output from the input.

In this instance, it's very likely that the process is sufficiently transformative. A set of model weights look nothing like the Mona Lisa, nor can they be directly transformed back into it. What it is NOT is the product of a creative process on the part of a human, and is thus ineligible for copyright.

It is as though we are able to distill meaning using an automatic process. Copyright doesn't protect meaning, only expression, and it only protects expressions that were generated by humans.

The network itself might be patentable if it isn't obvious.

If a network was copyrighted and it was found that the function of the network was inseparable from its expression, it would no longer be eligible for copyright on that basis.

I think people often misunderstand the application of copyright to GPL code in this way.

Now, will any of this stop people from CLAIMING copyright? No. It'll have to be fought out in courts.
How can they verify it now with hardware-based security? They can't, that's why WEI is proposed, to bridge device attestation API.

While trivial fingerprinting methods can be bypassed, TEE-based methods are pretty much impossible to bypass ($500K reward for that)
> - custom DSL syntax without data representation

This is an interesting comment in a post about Elixir because the Elixir ecosystem is actually full of things that should just be data but are instead macros being used in modules. Phoenix in particular is an especially egregious example of a library that is badly made in almost every regard

> - cosmetic wrappers that are just thin layers without substance

This one is also funny because Elixir itself is little more than a fairly small set of convenience libraries, a syntax and a very good tool for project management (`mix`) on top of Erlang. You can skip the syntax and the convenience libraries for the most part and actually just use Erlang in a `mix` project and get the best of both worlds. The convenience libraries usually are bad makeup on top of Erlang in many cases and you'd be better served just learning the Erlang way anyway.
When I was burned out I dedicated myself to learning something completely outside of my current context. I plan on doing this regularly now, maybe every 2-3 years. On my docket is:

- Woodworking

- Cooking - especially baking, since it can be extremely challenging to create the 'perfect' baguette or croissant

- Gardening

- Writing a novel

etc.

Best solution for burnout IMO is to completely refresh your mind with something that is challenging but low-stress.
This simply is not true! NASA and IBM need to do further literature review and rely less on press releases.

There are larger foundation models for geospatial imagery available. Our pre-training method, Scale-MAE [0], has 323M parameters, makes encoders robust to changes in satellite imagery resolution, and is therefore trained on satellite imagery of all resolutions.

I have a few thoughts:

1) Can you afford to live off a manual labor job? If so, that might be a good approach since you can work that manual labor job and still have mental energy afterwards to work on your SaaS. It's much harder doing mental tech work after already doing mentally taxing work at your job.

2) If you do contracting, does it have to be full time? Presumably you could make more money doing tech contracting than a manual labor job, so if you could work 10-20 hours a week contracting, you'd still have time left for your SaaS.

3) Regardless of your approach to earning money, you need to set aside time for self-care. You need to be sleeping, relaxing, socializing, and sometimes relaxing by doing nothing. It might seem like time not dedicated to your work, but you need to work in a sustainable way as you're finding out.

Per Thirteen Days, for a long stretch of the crisis the US mainland’s nuclear bombers were armed and airborne, constantly, for a potential first strike on Cuba. When the U-2 was shot down Kennedy directly threatened that another attack would result in the destruction of the defense installations and made it known as rumor he was considering nuking the island in retaliation. Curtis LeMay and some of the other cabinet staffers were sincerely in favor of a first strike throughout the conflict.

So I think we’re still quite a ways off from that level of threat.

Emergency responders have to deal with what I'd imagine the typical person would consider traumatic but we've agreed that their jobs are necessary in order for society to be efficacious. Not everyone has the same physiological response to disturbing content and it would appear people that take up these distressful emergency jobs are less likely to ever even have any traumatic stress responses in some studies IIRC.

Maybe up to 33% of the world's population would find reading text triggers traumatic stress responses if I had to make an educated guess - not to diminish their experiences. But I'd imagine most people would just find the job boring or somewhat nauseating.

Should be trivial to significantly reduce human cost without completely removing their jobs anyway.
