Whatever else is true, in my personal life a dose of Prozac completely transformed me from who I was to who I am. It took months, and it was a gradual change, but pretty much everyone in my life universally noticed the difference.

Me most of all. I haven’t had intense thoughts for years, whereas they were a daily occurrence before.

I started in 2016, and can safely say I’d be a worse person without it. I only wish I’d started when I was 17, but unfortunately my mom had the brilliant idea of slipping me antidepressants while saying they were something else, which made it rather hard to trust anything to do with antidepressants. I imagine people here have different horror stories that make it hard to just try them for a few months.

There may be no clear evidence that they work, but they do something for me. What do they do, if not work? It produced a positive outcome which wasn’t placebo.
So, this might be a stupid question. I am asking it honestly, though.

Speaking as someone who has sleep apnea, my doctors have really hammered home how bad apnea events are for my general health. Does that not apply to this kind of training?
For me, writing on paper provides insights that I just don’t get from a computer.

Writing outside the lines, doodles and swirls on the edges as I ruminate. Adding geometric borders around certain areas, arrows pointing at important things. Leaning in to add a tiny side-note…

I still always program at work with paper and pen on one side of my keyboard. It’s a bit like a mental clipboard for me. It also gives me another reason to get my eyes off the screen for a bit.
> What kind of hobby is this?

A natural one for someone who:

1. Is kind and helpful, especially towards anyone who might be described as “the little guy” or “David” (in the “vs Goliath” dichotomy).

2. Is a financial nerd/geek who positively loves getting into the weeds on any topic that interests him.

3. Communicates with people on financial topics (e.g., on forums or subreddits).

The above describes Patrick, imho.
Plastics are compatible with wireless charging. There are plastics that would hold up much better than glass, are lighter, probably cheaper, just better.

Its crazy that people have accepted glass as a "premium" material. It's probably about the worst possible choice.
For me, Steam Workshop is the killer feature for a bunch of games. It's hard to beat zero-effort auto-synced modding and zero-effort mod accessibility for tech-illiterate friends.
What adapter? Lightning to bluetooth!?

I'm puzzled by your recommendation to use bluetooth on a wired earphones instead of replacing them.
I used to be in the same boat until i finally bit the bullet and got a phone without a headphone port, but i wish i didnt have to. I don't like using a dongle, for example its easy to lose them when you detach it from the headphones to plug them into your laptop. Charging headphones seems silly to me, wired is more convenient, you can replace the wires and you're not limited to crappy Bluetooth headphone quality
It's not just the tech industry. For better or worse, frequent 1:1 meetings with direct reports are a common management practice in most large US companies.
> It's just not good for you to spread misinformation about the potential impact of the changes

Everything being said so far is purely conjecture, and my guess is as good as yours as to how it will play out. People keep talking about all these poor F2P or ad supported games that are going to be harmed, but it's all just conjecture and guesses.

Personally I think app stores are filled with too much trash and I'm not going to be sorry to see some of it go. Obviously it sucks when anyone has to deal a situation that affects their livelihood, but them's the breaks.

Consider layoffs. I've been on both sides of the fence, so I can appreciate the companies perspective of preserving cash flow while acknowledging the hardship it places on those affected, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it or join in on the chorus of outrage that wants to attack companies for what people want to perceive as malice. It's just business, as impersonal as it sounds.
Godot is a little behind Unity in terms of technical features. It's way behind Unreal.

I do a fair amount of Godot development - for casual mobile games, limited PC games, or games where you're planning on a publisher to fund your port, I think Godot is a good choice.
Yeah, $300k isn't considered great for my level of tenure, but it is less than what Jane Street/Jump/HRT new grads make.
> Let me try again:

> p=0.05 means that one POSITIVE result in 20 is going to be the result of chance and not causality

No, you still didn't get it. In the example above, a full 100% of positive results, 20 out of every 20, are the result of chance and not causality.

Your followup discussion is better, but your statement at the top doesn't work.

(Note also that there is an interaction between p-threshold and sample size which guarantees that, if you're investigating an effect that your sample size is not large enough to detect, any statistically significant result that you get will be several times stronger than the actual effect. They're also quite likely to have the wrong sign.)
This! I've fixed so many broken and flaky USB-C ports by simply cleaning the gunk at the bottom.

I find that a plastic flossing pick works really well. (I'd be hesitant to use anything metal like a bobby pin.)
Apple products have always been overpriced, don't make excuses for it in previous years. And this mindset of upgrading every year is quite diseased.
Why did the authors blanked out “Ukraine” from an (apparent) statement “Glory to Ukraine” in the comments? Seemed weird to me, what’s the point?
> they decided to go with the cheapest and worst-tasting one they could find.

It’s interesting that one group found it worst tasting, while another found it exceptional. Looks like both suck, and maybe the wine was not the best but not the worst either.

Just like the judges were duped into awarding this wine, the first group also thought this was worst tasting because it was the cheapest.
He nearly ruined my childhood as showrunner for Picard Season 1.
Ask HN: What is a creative way you control your smart home?
Today I found a metallic USB volume knob in a box, and thought it could be nice as a controller for a WiFi bulb, which is usually controlled via an app.

What are some clever/creative/geeky ways the HN crowd controls their lights (or other smart things)?
>Of course for people who may not be comfortable in social settings, 1:1s may be the only thing they can grapple with properly.

In my experience, group discussions favor a very small subset of people, and it has less to do with comfort in social settings and a lot more with domineering personalities.
This really compliments the Apple Vision Pro! When they debuted the vision they demonstrated that it could also make content to be viewed on the vision, which was a disaster! It was clear there should be a dedicated device for recording. The iphone 15 pro is that!
98% of countries use kph for vehicle speeds, also 0-100kph is a very common benchmark. If it was 0-60 I might assume mph.
I totally agree, but they covered that in the Edgeworth article, so I didn’t feel like I needed to bring it up in comments.

But yeah, exposure, guidance toward the good stuff, and thinking about what makes it good. Totally agree.

Weep, because it will now be a good 5-6 years minimum before you can buy a house. Or, rejoice, because you didn't have a down payment anyway.
Lot of replica designer merch from Asia is what I've been seeing the last few months. There are some great genuine products on there from smaller sellers though.

With good caching and a CDN, you mitigate these issues. Database isn’t an issue.
There's a lot more context to each of the bullet points that seem more dramatic than how it feels in real life. But I want to put the spotlight on the 1-year and 5-year plans - that there aren't any. I feel that phrasing doesn't do justice because there's more context behind it.

Yes, there may not be company-wide top-down 5-year plans or planning cycles. Don't mistake this to be your usual breed of agile. What folks work on are ultimately much longer-term visions. I think everyone sort of has/owns their own ideas and plans for how an area, product/service, project, whatever, should grow into, and everyone is asked to make an effort in communicating those.

Internally, it's one giant networked negotiation machine.

The company adapts well to changing circumstances and market needs, but NVIDIA is strategic and thoughtful - once it goes after something, it rarely backs off. And usually, NVIDIA is going after things others are actively avoiding because the problems in those spaces are too difficult. The consequence of such problem sets are visions that 10-20 year undertakings, if not more, that everyone chips away at bit by bit until one fine day things start taking solid shape.

This is also made possible because everyone up the management chain, from ICs till up to JHH are technically adept. This is why sending out "top-5 things" works; not because it's written for everyone, but because everyone can read it. These emails aren't trimmed down. They are sent regularly. They can act as status updates but that's not their intention; they are literally what the title says "top five things" (on a team's agenda right now).

A key relevant item that's left out in the tweet but JHH mentions in the referenced interview, is "strategy". Leadership, from the bottom-up ensures everyone's going in the right direction for a body of work in a given area. All of which funnel up to a general strategy that NVIDIA executes.
The two "easy" fixes (in the sense of not needing construction) are to through-run trains (which reduces the amount of time trains need to occupy tracks) and to assign and announce trains to the tracks on a permanent basis.

The main reason trains aren't assigned to tracks in advance is because American passenger trains are run by incompetent people who insist that practices that are normal outside of the US are completely and totally impossible and therefore it's impossible to assign trains to tracks. There is also a subsidiary reason that the platforms at Penn Station are too narrow to have good bidirectional passenger flow, so they want to keep people off of them as much as possible.
It'd be interesting to compare the trajectory of ATI/AMD to NVIDIA and the decisions that got them there. From outside it looks like nVIDIA's huge emphasis on software, and supporting development, while developing GPGPU code with AMD seems far harder.

I could see a flat, engineer-focused hierarchy enabling that direction.
I've basically gotten nothing for my hustle lol (except a state school degree and working at Amazon, but I don't think that's considered "accomplished" to these types of people).
This seems par for the course in computer architecture, and probably computer systems in general.

Part of it seems to be that technological improvements (such as better silicon and faster compute/storage/communication as well as more input data) can enable formerly impractical ideas to scale up/out and become useful.

Another part is that the performance and power wall has forced CPU designers to think about other ways to improve CPUs, such as improving security and reliability. Maybe the market will finally be willing to trade off some cost and speed for better security and reliability.

Lastly, software which used to be impractical or overly expensive because of resource usage can often run easily on modern hardware.
I get the differences in how they work. To that, I think your example is too simple and conclusions far too hasty on ChatGPT's capabilities. It is far from useless when it comes to finding relevant websites

Following your example, I queried it with "Where can I buy a sleeping pad online?" and it listed several options, starting with specific ones (Amazon, REI, Backcountry), then got more generalized (Camping and Outdoor Gear Websites, Specialized Brands, Large Retailers, Online Marketplaces). I told it to list the websites of the specialized brands and it gave me links to four retailers (thermarest.com, bigagnes.com, seatosummitusa.com, and nemoequipment.com)
> It is not the spec's fault that some cheap knockoff brands violate the spec to save a few pennies

Yes it is.

The spec could have been written such that different capabilities were reflected with different physical characteristics. That is exactly what standards exist to do.

Even if we pretend spec writers wouldn't ever have predicted the proliferation of crappy cables before publishing it, this is not a new problem with USB.

It is absolutely a choice made by the USB Implementers Forum.
That's the point though... Suppose there exists a great way to use llms for social networking. The if only openai has llms, Facebook loses their business. But if anyone can llm for free, the Facebook moat on ads and social networks is still effective.

The cost of keeping their business (in the 'supposed' event) is the cost of developing and open sourcing some good LLMs, which is pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things.
That's abusing a turn-of-phrase to provide a counter-argument. Of course no one can guarantee universal factuality. But relative to information we're seeking from an assistant (schedules, email data, messages, music preferences) it is very easy to obtain highly accurate data. But LLMs don't work like that.

The conceptual model behind LLMs utilizes frequency to generate a reasonable response to a query. But that's a bad fit when you're looking for data accuracy that isn't represented by the model. If your model says most dental appointments occur on the 15th and responds so but my appointment is on the 17th, it's not only useless to me it's detrimental.
Primacy means it's the most significant issue. Of course it's not the only one. Prioritization matters to a huge degree, and climate change deserves prime position.

Of course that are other resource constraint issues, but resolving the energy crisis resolves a large number of such issues, which again further reinforces the primacy of dealing with climate change. I can't think of a single resource crisis that could justify even approaching the priority of climate change, and just gesturing at every single resource limit on the planet doesn't convince me to change my thoughts on priority.
You can make your own authentic British pub-style cider-and-black by grabbing a bottle of Ribena from the 'British' or 'Irish' section of your local supermarket's 'ethnic foods' aisle, and adding a shot to the glass before pouring in your Strongbow.
Got ketamine as part of treatment to reset a dislocated shoulder. I had no prior knowledge of the treatment or the drugs effects, so it was a pretty clean unintentional experiment. I didn't think I was depressed prior to accidentally dislocating my shoulder, but my mood was greatly improved for months afterward and I had a very different perspective on things.
This is such a uneducated and specific take, like literally leaving out a huge percentage of the real projects that use Unity, not the succesfull paid games.
If we go cherry picking the succesful games that are banking a lot of revenue, it's obvious this crap won't affect them that much.
People here need a bit of a common sense.

The platforms are too narrow to have everybody waiting for their train, but an NJT train should have been there about 12 minutes before departure, so you could wait on the train instead. :)
I do think large tech companies do pretty well with customer data. As a former Googler I would be comfortable with my Gmail data residing in a foreign datacenter.
A strawman would be a weak version of his opponent's position. This is different. This is his pointing out a contradiction in (a nice strong version) his opponent's position.

In my usage, GNU units appears to be more featureful than qalc. For example I noticed that qalc lacks many definitions that I often use, such as energy density (eg. "gasoline"), mass density (eg. "golddensity"), energy units (eg. "therm"), astronomy (eg. "earthradius", "solarmass"), etc. And GNU units works just fine as a calculator.

So, from my viewpoint, qalc is the "separate utility" that I don't need ;-)

Can you expand upon this? How does mixing bitters with soda help with being too full?
This is the author of Antinet Zettelkasten. The podcast notwithstanding, the book helped me finally start my own slipbox. I also learned a lot about Niklas Luhmann's zettelkasten (actually two).

For context, the previous podcast challenges the listener to try 30 days of creating impromptu audio content in the car--carpods--of something you're interested in.

These aspects of Scheper's presentation on zettelkasten spoke to me most:

- Positive correlation between handwriting and concept retention.

- Interacting with a "second brain" in a reflective way: reorganizing, rewriting, and reviewing.

- Writing in order to publish.
A boring pointless rant of an article. I hate to flame but I feel a little robbed of my time for reading.
The only reason I can see for the ubiquitous big phones is addiction, which is widespread now. If you're using your phone all the time, yeah the bigger screen makes sense so you can do more on it. If you're only pulling it out rarely for a few necessary things, better if it fits in the pocket easily.
My experience with 1:1s is that they uncover things that wouldn't be uncovered... well, without 1:1s.

Most of us are "trained" not to "bother" our managers so allocating some dedicated time is valuable in my experience.

I'm honestly baffled at the pushback against 1:1s I'm reading. Assuming you have a relatively normal number of direct reports for software engineering (5-10) that adds up to not a lot of hours.

At companies without regular 1:1s, I often had no idea if my manager thought I was doing a good job or not. You can say that this is bad management or bad communication, and you're right but management and communication tend to be rather poor in our industry! 1:1s are more often than not a part of the solution.
> and there's plenty of ways you're probably "superior" to me.

I guarantee you there is probably none, lol. I can't play an instrument, I can't lift, I can't run a marathon, haven't written a book, don't know a Presidential candidate - those are all normal things for the Jane Street that came from HYPSM or even the Google class of people, but extremely out of reach for people like me.

They're still incredibly dangerous. Even with all the safety guards you've got 50-300hp being directed to a free-space shaft.

When we got a mower we went with a flail mower because we'd be mowing near neighbors and a bush hog(giant lawnmower blade style mower) will happily pick up a rock and send it with enough force to easily kill someone at a good distance. Flails tend to throw less things(which is why highway maintenance use them for mowing along the road).
Depends on the debt. If they can be paid off prior to closing, this is not true. If they are a foreclosure or bankruptcy, the waiting period is 3 years assuming extenuating circumstances (Life Happened, not just "I didn't want to pay my mortgage"). Refer to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or FHA underwriting guidelines for specifics (lots of complexity here around non-QM originations, overlays, portfolio loans, etc so the answer will always be "it depends"). FHA is 3.5-10% downpayment required, depending on credit score.

Every sufficiently large Flask app reimplements half of Django, badly.

I’m the sole maintainer of a Flask app that uses SqlAlchemy, and the experience is similar except that I really miss the admin and auth. However every single flask app ends up using slightly different libraries and architecture, which means that onboarding always takes longer than an equivalent Django app.

Also, I have over a decade of Python experience; I wouldn’t count on people with little Python experience to produce well architected apps in Flask, whereas Django does a lot of guiding the user towards established patterns.

Some parts of Django are antiquated and I do not recommend them (specifically the Forms API really has been superseded by pretty much any newer forms library), but that’s still way less baggage than having to pick up a new stack for every new Flask app.
Are there any good resources related to expanding context windows, or even just the mechanics of how they actually work as properties of a model?

> and double-check to make sure that their results are normally distributed across the p-values associated with their studies

What is the distribution of a set of results over a set of p-values?

If you mean that you should check to make sure that the p-values themselves are normally distributed... wouldn't that be wrong? Assuming all hypotheses are false, p-values should be uniformly distributed. Assuming some hypotheses can sometimes be true, there's not a lot you can say about the appropriate distribution of p-values - it would depend on how often hypotheses are correct, and how strong the effects are.
