The same location as .gitignore seems like the obvious location for it, to me.
According to this same user you should be individually negotiating with your healthcare provider (or going to like one center in Oklahoma). You're talking to someone who is probably insulated from the worst of this (i.e. is young and/or well paid and insured and/or hasn't had a major healh scare) and therefore does not see what all the fuss is about.
NEET aren't "just unemployed", it's a four letter acronym, employment is only one of them

Not in
Employment
Education or
Training

It basically means "Not doing anything to better themselves"

Yes, it doesn't imply "completely withdrawn from society" the same way, but that doesn't realt change the fact that many NEETs are in fact completely withdrawn.

I've always wanted to write a numerical Kalman Filter code, to just plug a function and then get it's derivative. It would be slow but it would be easier to use
Over an hour with no Slack access so far, and I gotta say I'm enjoying this focus time.
If I were looking at a Github portfolio, I would be more concerned about reading their documentation. I want to know about their communication skills and why they think their code matters. What problem were they trying to solve? Even if it was to scratch an itch that they had and only three people including themselves ever use it. What was their motivation for doing it?
> They must carry huge payloads in order to make lots of money per flight from paying passengers. It would be great to have high aspect ratio wings on airliners, as the efficiency would slash fuel bills significantly. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to make them strong enough for such heavy-duty purposes. There simply isn’t room for the structure and material required.

Are they going to try and squeeze some more seats onto the trusses? I'm sure they could fit at least one on each strut landing.
I wrote about my motivations in a different comment. To be honest, I didn't harbor any particular expectations. Maybe a flicker of hope for a bit of feedback or interaction from someone who'd given it a go, be it results, queries, or issues.

Maybe I should have kept my expectations in check, considering not many labs will have the setup ready to go, let alone have the inclination to dabble with it. But that was a step I didn't consciously take.

There's an uncanny silence from the world when you've thrown so much of yourself into a project, and you're the only one to care about it. It really shouldn't catch you off guard if you're thinking about it rationally, especially if you're not regularly communicating about the project for more people to notice it. But it still doesn't feel great.
> This is why bankers earn more than nurses and teachers

I think it has more to do with the proximity to money. A banker is close to lots of money moving around, and in a position to craft some scheme to extract parts of it. This basically applies to all of finance. The closer you are, the more opportunities to extract large amounts. A nurse is far removed from the flow of money.
> What the heck is that all about?

Tax fraud? I've never seen a card reader in a restaurant (here in europe) where they couldn't either enter a completely arbitrary amount to pay, or add a tip.
No. How about something that is neither "silently fail" or "print a stack trace"? How about something that lets the programmer handle the error?
Wow... you left me wondering why signal processing teachers in college don't teach Kalman Filters with this simplicity. I know mathematical concepts are best taught mathematically, but that does led to information loss for those who don't have the background requisites.

I used to teach Discrete Cosine Transform and Wavelet Transform through images alone and would always find this teaching method of "intuition before rigor" work better than the other way around.
I think there's also been a distinct focus on specialization at a level never before seen.

When the economic unit is the household, as it was in basically all pre-industrial periods, basic upkeep means that you have to complete a relatively wide variety of tasks. Farming, cooking, cleaning, home construction and repair, furniture production, clothing production, tool production, animal husbandry, tending/nursing, child care, etc...

Even divided on traditional gender roles - there was a lot of diversity in available work. Tasks changed by season and need.

Modern society rewards you for specializing - do one thing forever, better than others. But people are hardwired for exploring and learning. We can get bored, tired, apathetic and disillusioned if we follow a monotonous routine at work. Even if that routine is genuinely beneficial to society at large.
I agree, who seriously cares if CCDH used someone else’s account login (presumably with their permission) to gather their info? If that’s all Twitter (“X”) has, that’s some pretty weak sauce. CCDH seems to be right that this is just a silencing tactic, and one which seems to be having the opposite effect (a.k.a., the Streisand Effect) in that I for one never would have heard of CCDH if it weren’t for this lawsuit.
No worries at all! I agree that there's probably lots of people blindly copying and running code from LLMs without any reflection. Just like it often happened with StackOverflow snippets before ChatGPT (to the point it became a meme). I'm definitely not one of them.
Antimatter Dimensions is a good mobile one - the numbers get REALLY big and there's some tricky challenges to complete.
I think the problem is the social environment on the job and the general disillusionment of being an adult.

Cheating on the math test while in high school was as pointless (sooner or later the chickens come home to roost) but it felt amazing in the moment because you were doing it with your buddies and against the “enemy” (teacher, school etc.)

Adults all of a sudden feel the need to be important so they suffer in that same scenario
These frauds weren't caught by lack of replication, they were caught because statistical analysis of the reported data showed it to be implausible.
I appreciate the scientific question. These posts tend to launch wild takes on HN that confuse correlation with causation and attempt to reduce disease to just one foundational factor. It just doesn't work like that for a lot of illnesses.
> Maybe it is easier to learn a framework within the ecosystem of a language you already know than to learn both a framework and a new language.

I'm in this camp.

For services that I'm building that are not heavily frontend reliant, I don't want to learn a whole new language and framework
> I’m trying to learn sales actually.

Sexy indifference.
I see that the README is unclear or even misleading on this point. How it works is that, upon each command, the commit corresponding to the working copy is updated in a similar way as `git commit --amend`. You will typically only have one "working copy commit", which corresponds to "unstaged changes" in Git. The difference is that instead of using special-purpose commands like `git add` to interact with the staging area, you instead use the same set of commands that you would use to manipulate other commits. (There is a `jj commit` convenience command to model the common case of adding a commit message to the working copy commit and then creating a new working copy commit on top of it.)
I’m guessing you’re referring to their YouTube channel, in which case, I totally agree. But AFAIK the website is still just as good as always.

They used to put out brilliant high-production value videos like this one: https://youtu.be/Y2j3PsDW33E

Now it’s nearly all low-effort YT Shorts like these… https://youtu.be/-0CVJS1FTmY

Perhaps the satire has just gone over my head? But it’s hard to give them the benefit of the doubt when all their videos are like this now…
In autism case that actually happened first. Parents began to restrict gluten out of the diets for kids with ASD and were adamant that this helped them a lot. The research community was highly skeptical and even derisive of this until they started finding real gut brain connection and proof in trials and mice studies. Hopefully parents of children who have such conditions can chime in and corroborate this history.

The alternative would be for Rust to generate machine code for the following

enum Foo {
Bar,
Qux([i32; 1024]),
}

as if the user had written

enum Foo {
Bar,
Qux(Box<[i32; 1024]>),
}

I don't think it's a good idea to do that kind of silent transformation, instead teach the developer about their options. That way the application's performance doesn't suddenly shift after changing a few parts of unrelated code that accidentally causes some threshold to be crossed that changes the performance characteristics of binary being produced.

Today, clippy does what I think is the right thing: it teaches the user

>more than 50% (maybe more than 75%) of jobs will be make-work that just serves to employ people so that society doesn't fall apart.

Yes, and then firms like OpenAI come in and automate those BS jobs, and take away all the societal upside of their existence. OpenAI will thrive, at first, by undoing the intricate scaffolding of lies that buttresses BS jobs. The country will either embrace socialism at that point, or perhaps there will be a Butlerian (buttressarian?) jihad of some kind in foolish attempt to put two genies back in the bottle.

And who knows what will work to keep us alive and relatively thriving in the future? It seems clear to me that belief in a fantasy panopticon, if not taken to an extreme, was a useful part of society. It is strictly better than a real panopticon or no panopticon - and who could have guessed that from first principles? Perhaps it really is better to have BS jobs than overt socialism. Maybe people really do feel better believing their work makes a difference rather than just existing and knowing they do nothing. Idealists want to believe that people will thrive with the truth, but I think that's demonstrably false.
Yeah it's fascinating! I don't know enough to reconcile that with the common knowledge that Olypmians can consume up to 12,000 calories a day[1]. So there may be more nuance there than my original comment let on. But it definitely shows there's some disconnect.

As for dieting, I think the very common phrase, "weight loss starts in the kitchen" encapsulates the idea that you can't burn off excess calories, you can only consume less.

It's always hard to predict the future. People using CentOS have probably had more more scares then the ones using FreeBSD. CentOS had its main maintainer gone missing, the CentOS stream thing and now the RHEL closing thing.
I think it’s worth looking at what different facets are part of being autistic. It might be possible to differentiate between personality characteristics that are important to you (that you associate with your sense of self) and those that you can see as somewhat less essentially part of who you are.

For example, you might have a particular way of thinking that is different from other people which is both important to you and often associated with ASD. That doesn’t feel like something likely to change qualitatively from say a diet change.

On the other hand, there might be aspects like being overwhelmed by particular kinds of stimuli, that feel less personal and may feel more likely to be impacted be something like a diet change.

Finally, consider that you might be holding too tightly to some aspects of who you are “right now”, to be able to see and accept how some of these things might change. I know I do sp sometimes (regardless of whether I might be on the spectrum, or not). At the very least a relatively fixed (as opposed to growth) mindset is also often associated with ASD.
No. You eat a shit pellet. That’s it.

I never resort to the abuse emails I figure it's all fraud. I just ban IPs indiscriminately.
If you're a nihilist and you feel like your job is pointless then you wouldn't care, right? You'd just keep rolling that rock up the hill. People feeling like their job is pointless and being bothered by the pointlessness doesn't seem like nihilism.

Kotlin also runs on JS and Wasm these days, not just the JVM.
Money, as you're defining it, is a good example of Goodhart's law: when a metric becomes a target, that metric becomes useless.

Money, initially, may have been a good metric to judge which role is contributing more to society. But soon, a parasite class emerges whose goal is to maximize "money" itself regardless of what value they are providing to society. Just like any other metric, the concept of money as a yardstick of "good for all of us" has failed a long time ago because of that.

>if it wasn't for the very low resolution that Android decided to use for the external monitor. It does not look like this is configurable on Android, isn't it? Has anyone tried this kind of setup?

I guess it depends on your docking station, phone, and what SoC and video output chip it has and less on the Android build.

I plugged my OnePlus 7T running Android 12, in my 4k monitor via a USB-C to DisplayPort cable and the monitor reports 4k@60Hz resolution, and the phone is from 2019, so high resolution is definitely possible and frankly that's pretty amazing that this feature exists and it works this well (suck it iPhone :p)

AFAIK, other android phones, like Pixels, don't have DisplayPort via USB-C output capability or might be limited to lower resolutions. What phone do you have? Try plugging to DisplayPort directly without the dock.

Although I think AI-generated and AI-augmented (using voice cloning, etc.) artists are a given, for Spotify to stop paying labels they'd have to be able to remove all non-Spotify content from their streaming catalog. That doesn't seem like a possibility in our lifetimes. (Also, Spotify hasn't even been able to build a sustainable business on podcasts, which they copy to their closed platform for free.)

It's an interesting thought experiment, though. I can imagine that "environmental audio" companies like Muzak have about 5 years left before they either adapt or die. What other kinds of companies are in trouble?
Compare the number of programmer-hours on Python to Go. Having a ~15 year head start helps a lot.

Plus, I've been programming in Go professionally for a while and it's been a while since I reached for a critical library and it was missing.

Go ends up needing fewer libraries anyhow; in Python you have the pure-Python version, no, wait, the Twisted version (which may not be current but are still all there, increasing the library count), no, wait, the async version, no, wait, the Python 2 version, no, wait, the one that binds to a C library.... and actually this isn't specific to Go, it's really more specific to Python. Library count gets bloated up over the decades by the fact that when, for example, Python went to async, all non-async libraries in which async was relevant suddenly needed a clone. Go has had effectively no language changes which create such parallel libraries (note changes, not additions; Go has had additions which create opportunities for more libraries but don't create lots of parallel libraries). I don't know that Python is uniquely changing, "best practices C++" is arguably up there, Javascript has had a lot of churn, but it's in the higher tier of such things. Languages that don't churn like that should be able to cover the same amount of "need" for libraries in fewer libraries by the numbers.
So both have a similar shaped growth curve, but large deviations from that curve on the suggested independent variable are not reflected at all in the suggested dependent variable? Sounds like two unrelated phenomenon with similar long-term shape but no direct link.

Minicomputers aren't what they used to be.
The problem I personally have is the "when wrapped properly". Functionally it's the same issue as "just write correct C code", but the invariants that have to hold in Rust aren't as well defined (because there's more of them). Writing "correct" `unsafe` code is a lot harder than it seems on the surface.

There's also the issue that I've seen it commonly advocated to keep `unsafe` blocks small - which makes intuitive sense, but brings into question whether `unsafe` is supposed to _just_ mark the unsafe operations being done, or mark all the code under which certain assumptions have to hold for UB to be avoided and it be 'safe'. It's been a little while since I looked into it, but there wasn't much agreement on this the last time I looked and I've seen people do it both ways.
Nurses and teachers are both bad examples, because both professions willingly get underpaid because they care about who they are helping. In both cases they aren't paid by their customers, and also don't strike often for that same reason.

Not just finance. If you want to be wealthy get as close to large sums of money as possible. That's why people move to big cities and go to top schools. They are proxies to being near large sums of money.
Have you got any citations for this? I’d be interested to learn about any more definitive results in this area.
Totally agreed. One of the favorite professors in college would introduce a theorem, and instead of jumping into proving it, would first show us useful applications of the theorem, and then prove it afterwards.

Yeah, why prevent anything bad from happening, LOL

BTW, if it's a crime to use certain drugs, and you use those drugs and are arrested, and that arrest prevents further crimes, this was NOT an example of "pre-crime". You committed a crime. You used illegal drugs.

"Pre-crime" is not an accurate description of what I'm talking about.

> Typically, people search for a company after a price move rather than before.

People search for a company for a reason, generally to inform a thesis towards buying or selling, and regardless of their thesis, there will generally be a price move when they act.

> And these are searches on publicly available data, ie data that is not proprietary and already filed with the sec.

Of course. But the information that someone is interested is not public, so you are crowdsourcing indication of interest.

Effectively you have a leading indicator (however soft) for order flow.

This is only half true.

Go to 1800 and a person that needs to get somewhere may have told you they needed a faster horse. The idea that fast personal mechanical transport would exist and would be widely available was still an idea to be sold. Even moreso, that you may not even have to 'go', the idea you could pick up a wire and communicate nearly instantly was still near magic.
It's not like UBI prohibits working hard.

All it does is give everyone access to enough resources for basic survival, not Ferraris, which will still exist and continue to motivate some to be Vikings.
I agree, the datascience / ML crowd is _probably_ more interested in having something simple and easy/fast to implement to put in front of their data than in having a proper web framework with all the bells and whistles a software engineer would prefer.
Indeed, that statement would have been really funny just a few weeks ago. Now you're going to have to wonder whether the magnet or the superconductor will fail first.

Neo magnet fabrication is fascinating by the way, the somewhat magnetized blanks are not all that impressive from a magnetic field strength point of view, but then you zap them with a strong enough field and they then suddenly are the best thing since sliced bread.

This technique was first developed for 'regular' ceramic magnets.

An uncoated magnet will oxidize very fast, so you always have to ensure that the coating on any magnets you use is perfect or the magnet will surely fail.
