If he already mastered the crappy codebase, then "two junior devs and a Keurig to replace him" or even a senior dev might not be able to replace him in a short amount of time.
In the first regime, where we calculate at the population level, we stop and average the wealth of the whole population after every coin toss. So if E[X_t] is the expected sum of wins and losses from the coin toss,

W_t = exp(k E[X_t])

Whereas the wealth of any individual grows like

W_t = E[k exp(X_t)]

There's a result called Jensen's inequality that says that

f(E[X]) > E[f(X)]

for any random variable X and any convex function f (exp is one such function). In a sense, I think this all just falls out of Jensen's inequality.

That's a varied set of stacks they're comfortable taking clients for.
a lot of Python packages contain parts written in native code (often C or Rust) for performance reasons.

pip _can_ compile the code at install-time if your PC has the right build tools -- or it can download pre-built binaries for your host in the form of a "wheel".

pypi has a little more metadata than a git repo, and a place to host version-controlled binaries.
With permutations without repetitions you get factorials (n!) while with permutations with repetitions you get n^n.

More precisely, when taking N objects out of M, the number of permutations is always computed by multiplying N factors, which are either all equal to M when repetitions are allowed (i.e. the power M^N) or they are decreasing by one at each factor when the extracted objects must be unique (i.e. M*(M-1)*(M-2) ...), which gives the factorial in the case of N taken out of N.

With combinations either with or without repetitions you also get a product of N factors, but each factor is much smaller, being a ratio of two integers, instead of the integer that is the numerator. This is usually written in a form that is useless for actual computation, as the ratio between a factorial and the product of other two factorials (which differ between the two kinds of combinations).

The sum of all combinations without repetitions is 2^N (when repetitions are allowed, the sum is infinite).
Hi there!

Thanks for the feedback!

- We were thinking to add some more details as generic activities that you may do in that location, so we will consider that. Thank!

Btw, have you checked the the "Explore" button? We have an itinerary page where you have more details about the flights, some accommodation choices and activities from our partners like Viator and Ticketmaster.
Got it. Will work out how to add this. Thanks for the feedback.

Used an HP 48GX for years until realizing that was great in college but had become overkill. Sold it and bought an HP 35s that I still use.
You don't have to rewrite everything, to start fixing things.
There is something admirable about someone who commits to maintaining a codebase, no matter how crappy it is. We don't see this often in tech and often being a person who is more reliable and stable is more desirable than two junior devs and a Keurig machine. Speaking from my first hand experience when reverse engineering a poorly documented product for a small company these people were the real heroes. Thanks to all the "Arthurs" that keep the world spinning.

I agree with the sentiment. But the main reason I have heard from browser builders is that Gecko isn't as easy to integrate as Blink. Nyxt browser, for example, is engine-agnostic. They still have trouble integrating Gecko. Servo, on the other hand, is designed with embedding in mind. They have picked up some pace after joining the Linux Foundation. Libweb (Ladybird's engine) is also a candidate. Let's hope that current situation spurs them on.

The question to ask is, did the slavery stop without backpage?

Which means, (assuming the answer is no it didn't stop or even reduce at all) did the problem get better or worse by attacking backpage? Wherever the slaves are marketed now, is the owner working with police to discover and free them?
What makes me excited is there is very good theoretical work, using 'standard techniques ' that shows it either is a superconductor or will have very good properties in designing one.

Cold fusion, the EM drive, time traveling neutrinos, and all the other false excitement never had a theoretical backing. So 'guarded optimism' seems warranted
> who creates the system of little machines that nudge, shove and knock items from one step to the next?

Industry automation companies. A big part of the German Mittelstand - a ton of companies of all sizes, from small ventures like HEITEC over mid-sized like KUKA (the robotics guys that the German government in all its ignorance tolerated to be bought up by China) to giant megacorps like Siemens.

Particularly the small shops aren't really known, not even here in Germany... but worldwide, out of ~3.400 businesses classified as "hidden champions" aka market leaders in their niche worldwide, Germany has 1.573 such companies, surpassing everyone including the US worldwide by far [1].

Think of it like YKK from Japan, the undisputed champion in high quality zippers, just even less known to the general public... such machines that nudge, shove and knock items, each of them is made by a dedicated German company specializing in a specific type of machine, made with parts made by another dedicated German company. Yes, conglomerates could gobble all of that up and use advantages of vertical scaling, but they're all owned by the founder families and their descendants, in many cases across many generations. They won't ever sell out or share their knowledge, and so they remain in business because they have ironed out all kinks and wrinkles in their specialty machines over decades if not centuries - and upstart competitors have to start from scratch. On top of that, their staff is extremely loyal, you can't just go and poach them and their knowledge.

If you downvote me, please tell me why my comment is wrong. Otherwise, no one learns anything.
Good to point out, thanks. It's talking about a past study (past edition/version?) from the same source -- Anderson Economic Group.

It seems likely they used the same methodology in the 2023 edition and just updated some numbers, but you're right to point out it's not entirely safe to just assume that.

It's still not "garbage" to look at what people said about a past report on the same thing with the same conclusions from the same source.

One of the main things they point out in this fairly short piece, was that the report included an hourly rate for waiting for a charge was included. That seems to be true in the 2023 "edition" too. That may or may not be "fair" to include, it's a matter of opinion I suppose, but I definitely didn't realize it was a major part of their "expense" calculation until someone pointed it out. (A commenter in the thread here also points it out).
You're just going to off load your lost potential and lack of ambition on to your kids, and so on and so forth. It's the main reason why people have them.

> Chrome is still innovating, but now end-users hate it, because it's trying to be too much

First time seeing it, I personally don't like how much power Google is getting with ownership of Chrome, and they already try to force direction of whole world into places that benefit them at cost of whole mankind (ie wasm, tracking everybody to hell, trying to fight adblocks).

Having 1 core browser and no competition is plain bad, Google wins and everybody else loses down the road. That's enough to get opinion and use Firefox + ublock origin. Getting a better version of Internet via that is a nice bonus.
How does that contradict what you quoted? The claim is that if the Japanese had been able to conditionally surrender, with the condition of retaining their emperor, then they would have done so. You respond by pointing out that when the Japanese did eventually unconditionally surrendered, much of the government was still against that decision. That implies nothing about what their response would have been to a conditional surrender. It's just a non sequitur. If anything one would expect that there would have been less elements of the government resisting a conditional surrender and so the coup would have been more likely to be suppressed in that case.

should be yes, but even in examples from openai, they usually do splitting into chunks

For example in chatgpt-retrieval-plugin[0] repo default chunk size is just 200 tokens

this is anyway a limitation, no doubt, but chunking is pretty often used

if I go into the casino with 67 bucks and make 1,5 times what I have, I will own 100 bucks.
If I go into the casino with 100 bucks and lose a third only (not 40%!) then I will own 67 bucks.

Thus, +50% and -40% are not the right arithmetic pairs. It should've been +50% and -33%. It's even more intuitive to say 3/2 and 2/3. Waiting for a matician who can explain better, but this whole story is more of a parlor trick than anything else.
Ask HN: How to deal with stress from inferiority complex?
Hi HN!
I have a bit of a problem. I feel very inferior, all day, everyday. My life feels rather dull.

The reason being the people I know. I compare myself with them. Many of them are highly successful people with big businesses in manufacturing/import-export.

When I look at them, I feel super inferior and I want to do something about it but I don't know where to begin. I'm a software engineer, 24 years old, working remotely, living with my parents, and making around 65k euros. I love my job, I love the people there but everytime I look at the people I know who are way better off, I feel like I have accomplished nothing, absolutely nothing!

I know it's easy for people to tell me to be patient but I feel rather helpless and it's causing me a lot of stress. Everytime I look at people I know who are well off, live in nice villas in Europe and have a great and happy family, I get a bit depressed because I don't have those things. I live in an old, small house. I live in a polluted city and I don't have any friends, I haven't ever traveled.

I want to do good, I am doing good already compared to many people my age but I still can't help compare myself with people who are like 30-40 years old. Part of that is that they don't tell me much about their struggles, or how they started and how much they earn so I feel a little lost.

Could you please guide me and help me with this problem? I'm sick of this stress and it's affecting my decision making and peace. I am a capable software engineer who loves to make projects but I've never built my own business. I don't know how much I have to earn, how much I can earn and how many years I have to wait till I'll be half as good as them and that causes me pain.

Could you please help me with this? Give me a new perspective?
How does this compare to PyInstaller or other packagers? What underlying tech does it use?
I'm afraid to switch because:

- Chrome dev tools is consistently amazing and I use several extensions on it

- I use google password manager which is also amazing and it works seamlessly on all my android devices, even filling passwords into android apps (although most people don't seem to know it exists)

Sooner or later, I will get around to switching back to FF, but it's daunting. I used FF before Chrome came out.
That's understandable,these tools definitely can be helpful, but learners should know their limitations and problems.

Also I just think speaking to the actual native speaker is still much better practice, especially given tts quality. It even pronounces words incorrectly in Japanese (wrong pitch accent).

Because so much Python code binds to C extensions that you will need to compile for the correct platform. For instance the new version of Pydantic is now backed by Rust. To avoid everyone having to compile the rust code on their platform, you can upload it pre-compiled for linux, windows etc.
I thought it was the conclusion for every single developer in the world when they retire, no?

He also had an excellent series on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates during the height of the COVID media insanity. It was one of the few places to get a balanced, informed take on different approaches. Specifically, discussing the uncertainty bounds around results.

Definitely a gifted science communicator. (No small skill, to distill but not pol/dilute!)
agreed, and this is the other nice thing. You can use any embedding system for search and retrieval, and then use OpenAI/GPT-3.5/GPT4 for generative use cases (which is still miles ahead for many functions)

fwiw, 98% of Supabase project use OpenAI for embeddings, so a lot of this content is just to help devs identify the best options they have available
That's a pretty short list. I would argue the list should start 7 years ago with AMP.
It's pretty much turning ChromeOS into Linux.

I remember when - and miss - the OS being "a single Chrome window, that's the shell, that's it". It was simple. Unbloated. Now it's an absolute mess that Google doesn't know what to do with - treat it like an Android device, or treat it like a computer.
The difference is that Microsoft did not sell computers and did not sue anyone trying to run their OS on non-Microsoft hardware.

Safari can only be run on Apple machines manufactured by Apple.
Sadly Apple doesn't offer many translation languages such as Danish.
I get the issues, but using a fresh name that doesn't have pre-conceptions is often the better idea. If I call something a "package" people will have an immediate understanding of what "package" means, but it will be several slightly different understandings and that can cause quite subtle issues with learning and understanding.

To talk about a different context the BEAM VM (Erlang/Elixir) has "processes". These aren't OS processes but pre-emptively scheduled threads of execution, scheduled by a userspace scheduler onto the available processor cores. They're similar to green threads or fibres in other contexts. They're called "processes" in Erlang because Erlang is old enough that the word process hadn't been implicitly co-opted to mean "OS Process", and it means that whenever I talk about Elixir scheduling I have to insert some version of the above explanation otherwise everyone gets the wrong idea. If they'd called them "florbs" instead, there would be no ambiguity. I still probably have to define the term, but I'm defining it against a universal blank canvas.

Or to put it yet another way "All the good metaphors are already taken"
Although I have never used any of their stuff, I had the pleasure of watching Russell from BeeWare at Pycon Colombia some years ago. It consistently presents itsself as an ecosystem I would like to work with, and if anything the naming of their projects is very nice.

Similar, I’ve got a TI-30 on my desk and a TI-89 (if I recall correctly) somewhere in a box or drawer.

I got pretty good with the 89 in high school and college, and it served me well on tests. But anything it can do, that the 30 can’t, is better served by a full computer.
Einstein once said "Once you stop learning, you start dying". I feel like in IT it's the case for most what people are thinking. In my case I have been switching tech because I felt I wasn't learning anything new or simply because it's was dying.
I feel like these guys like him are probably too confortable in their confort zone or too lazy to learn anything new (the less you do the less you've got motivation + you can't teach old dog new tricks).
They change somewhat frequently. We were previously working with some of the highest ranked that we could handle and we were getting acceptable results for the parameters of our tests.

That said, if you’re looking for these to be a similar quality to OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4, they’re not even remotely close.

I know people who enjoy street performance and dumpster diving. Bringing your juggling balls (or guitar) to a street corner and trying to make money gives some pressure that makes it fun - and that you don't need the money means if people don't like you enough to pay it doesn't matter. Likewise people throw away a lot of treasures that you can fix up and sell/give away.

If he needs to be a street performer and dumpster diver to make ends meet that isn't good. However people do those things as a hobby all the time.
Those are production engineers.

Curiously if you dig into the whole Toyota Production System/Kanban/JIT literature you encounter a lot of this, especially the work of Shigeo Shingo who came up with the mistake proofing/zero defects/single minute exchange of die ideas. Most of the actual tactics in use are shockingly simple, but it is the ability to move the needle to total reliability that makes the difference.
> They likely collect usage stats for them too and know many people use them...

This is exactly how this happens: some idi^W manager in the need to boost his KPI seeks for something to 'take control', 'improve', 'provide' and any other corporate bullshit lingo meant to 'change'. Of course searching for real troubles, especially if it only bothers <3% is tiresome and that's why it is easier to just invent the need to do some change.

The fact that 20 years later with computers 100x faster inverting a table takes longer is progress! Also don't forget to mock people who care about performance by screaming "premature optimization" without fully understanding what it means.
>IMHO regulators should have been looking at safety net attestation already because it effectively destroys the claim of Google that OEM have a choice and it is not Google's monopoly.
