That's a really useful comment, thank you!
I’m 41. Rebooted into a tangential career in tech startup land after spending my entire career in insurance.

I feel great about my decision. I’m learning lots of new things. I’m exploring new skills, tactics, strategies. I’ll be 2 years in (next June) and be able to tell a great story about why I did this and all the great outcomes. And that’s despite all the headaches and stress that come taking the risk. Also, all that knowledge and work experience is definitely worth a ton.

Go for it. I remind myself daily of my little blurb and it’s a really quite a powerful motivator. Happy to help separate from HN too if you need it!
On the other hand, insurance companies are more likely to pay for treatment if the condition has a name, which is why sometimes patients receive "sympathetic diagnoses," where they're diagnosed with a condition that has a close-enough match to their symptoms, simply to get insurance authorization for treatment.

Can anyone explain how this works in modern Android? Do the drivers for this specific hardware live in Treble? Can they "just" drop a new kernel in a point release, like linux 6.5 vanilla? Or linux 8.5 vanilla in the year 2030?

I am not an Android user, but do have some interest in following what is happening. I do have interest in mobile Linux, currently I am using Sailfish OS with libhybris drivers and an old kernel.
Lots of work around speculative decoding, optimizing across the ASR->LLM->TTS interfaces, fine-tuning smaller models while maintaining accuracy (lots of investment here), good old fashioned engineering around managing requests to the GPU, etc. We're considering commercializing this so I can't open source just yet, but if we end up not selling it I'll definitely think about opening it up.
They aren't not trying [0]; it isn't the Democratic party that is blocking this.

On the other hand (and granted that the death penalty is a barbaric atrocity) I'm inclined to prefer the US federal government focus most of its reform efforts (even those contained to the justice system) on issues whose death rates average more than 0.25 people/year[1].

No, the only thing infinite is human greed, the difference between greed and desire is desire can make concessions for the needs of others, greed will burn down the world to get exactly what it wants.

As technology concentrates power, it will be the authoritarian leader. Putin is a great example of this. Greed driving him and Russia to ruin.

I agree with the theme of your post, but I think it's often overlooked that Android doesn't necessitate full operating system updates to deliver new functionality as iOS does. Owners will regularly receive updates to basic apps such as phone, calendar, contacts, etc. through the on-going Play Store updates, even after 3 years.
Thanks, that's ... disappointing.

From the very article:

Also:

> The team looked at more than 21,000 responses from postmenopausal, perimenopausal and non-menstruating premenopausal women — including some who were on long-term hormonal contraceptives.

> The results were surprising, says Blix. They found that 252 postmenopausal women, 1,008 perimenopausal women and 924 premenopausal women reported experiencing unexpected vaginal bleeding.

> What does ‘minimal’ even mean though?

It doesn't include the batteries.

The batteries - extra features - weight you down if you don't need them. So you'd better be able to avoid them. Large projects can be hard to audit to remove things which could be nice and often useful - but just not in your case.

Smaller projects have an advantage that you can easier understand them and decide what you need to add and, crucially, how to add that better, from your personal viewpoint. It's really hard to have nice, tiny, composable building blocks, so we have rather few attempts at that. Actually, a big part of programmer's education is teaching him how to properly write something which is well known, just have many small variations which depend on both requirements and some preferences. With a smaller project you can see those choices easier - and have better chance to correct them the way you need.

> The minimal/zero-dep solution will have have bugs that have already been fixed or avoided by battle-tested libraries

Maybe. Maybe not - you need to have all branches of execution checked, and with all possible input data combinations - and then all problems to get noticed and, crucially, corrected. Some problems, like unnecessary delays, can avoid e.g. representation in the logs.

On the other hand, with smaller projects you have less moving parts and better visibility where, and how, things could go wrong. If you want ultimate reliability with proofs, you'll find it easier going with smaller projects.

So, as they say, there are programs so simple they're obviously correct and so complex it's not obvious which errors they have.

};

There aren't any real world sources of truth you can avoid applying critical thinking to. Much published research is false, and when it isn't, you need to know when it's expired or what context it's valid in.

> We have tools that do awesome for driven individual students. We’ve had them since before computers.

If you're referring to books then I disagree. I think the computer opens up a whole new way of teaching that is far more interesting. Maths concepts are far easier to understand with good graphics and animations for example. Stuff like Duolingo is far more engaging than than a Spanish textbook (even if does need work on how it teaches grammar). Even stuff like electronics and computers, you would have been limited by your budget for parts, whereas now you can launch up virtual labs or learn networking in the cloud.

And now these things are available to everyone now, across the globe. If you're a kid in a small town of a few thousands residents, you may not even be guaranteed to have a library, let alone a library that has multiple books on a topic you want to read. Nowadays, you've got all the information you want at your fingertips.

Personally, I think the key to making driven students is to let them study more of what they want to study, within reason. When a kid starts showing a passion for something, let them go down the rabbit hole and let them drop other studies to compensate if necessary. If I remember rightly, the American system of schooling is already a lot better at doing this than the UK system of schooling.
The size of the drone is not some secret... you can search for the Mini 4 Pro on YouTube and find a bunch of hands-on reviews.

The DJI Mini drones are very compact. The DJI Air 3 is arguably the next level up in the lineup, and it weighs 3x as much and is noticeably larger. The "teeny-tiny drone" you're describing just doesn't sound comparable or particularly useful.

Digital is worse than paper because with paper you need to copy and clean up your todo list often (typically daily, though other things can work) That means every item you didn't do is reviewed to see if you still care enough to put in the effort to copy it. digital systems make it easy to keep a long list of things you want to do eventually, but in reality never will, and soon you can't find in the long list things you really must do now.

If you use your digital todo list for things that you must do by a deadline it works well. Digital tools are good for the yearly tasks list "buy birthday card for my sister" - knowing that you can then decide when it pops up if you will buy one or not. Digital tools make it too easy to put things in like "investigate interesting widget you just heard about when money isn't so tight", and then they clutter the list with things odds are you won't do.

If you have a digital todo list you are allowed to have 2 things that you must do today, and 10 things you must do sometime in the next week (numbers are debatable). If you have more than that something must go. If it isn't in the next two weeks put it on the calendar not the todo list so it doesn't pop up until you need to do it. (todo lists that integrate with your calendar are good at this!) Actually I've found my todo list works best if instead I use my calendar to block of time - I have a short presentation to give in a couple weeks so I have one hour a week to work on it.

I have dysgraphia which means I cannot read my own writing. As such digital solutions have a higher interest for me. However there are things people using paper can do that I do not have a good replacement for. Things are working for me, but writing is a much better system if only I could use it.

Given that what many touchscreen tablets (particularly e-ink) offer is a Wacom layer, the advantage is that you're getting far more precise indication of location. The difference between Wacom-in-display and Wacom-as-peripheral is much as with a mouse, in that you have to get accustomed to indicating actions off-screen which translate to on-screen movements, though in practice that seems to be a fast learn for most people. This can actually be better as depending on screen registration and depth of the display elements themselves, "direct registration" often isn't with offsets and parallax.

The precision of using a stylus and pen/pencil grip rather than a mouse, trackball, or trackpad is the primary win.

And yes, cropping is in fact a major function for graphic artists, though painting directly with the stylus + tablet is another option.
Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe -C. S. Lewis [pdf]
Same. I had both those devices and at the time of purchase they were a great value contrast to the iPhone/iPad. But, after the issues you describe I went back to iPhones and never looked back. Google had a great opportunity that they squandered.

> That's because having similar names does not make them similar in any way.

Well yes, but actually no. Right answer, but the work to get there is a little off.

MDMA is MethyleneDioxy MethAmphetamine. And MethAMPhetAmine is n-methyl alpha-methyl phenethylamine (chemists love portmanteaus). So it's literally a methamphetamine core with a methylenedioxy bridge. That structural similarity gives MDMA some similarity in activity to MA, which itself works due to its similarly to dopamine and epinephrine.

Structural similarities give you a good guess but you really have to test the binding affinities on their own. There are substituted phenethylamines which have barely any activity.

MA itself has found therapeutic uses in treating ADHD and narcolepsy. Side note: this is why NO drug should ever be "Schedule I - no medical uses". How can you ever predict a lack of future medical uses? Cannabis, psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ibogaine, these have all found therapeutic uses, yet are sched I.

Haven't played with Ghostscript in ages but will always have a soft spot for it.

That said, using it (in a VM) as a workaround requires more steps and a bit more technical interaction that destroys the original seamless experience. Apple has been aggressive about tightening down the OS (still pissed that strace is neutered by default); taking the security approach of just not doing the work at all is really lame on their part.

Theoretically they provide the ability to do just what I'm suggesting: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-...

> Code is code - either you pull it down as a dependency or you write it yourself, it all executes the same in the end.

This looks like an oversimplification sometimes. You surely can solve the same problem in programming in different ways. An important part could be unstated assumptions you relied on when you wrote your code - and sometimes it's really important to understand those assumptions, or the code could strangely misbehave. "All executes the same" could literally be not true - some testing may suggest that, but more expensive testing, which is often not done, could show that for some unusual combinations the behavior is different.

How do you know it's the same?
Forum, no, but there's a Langchain Discord[1] that would probably receive it well.

I've been using the Pixel 4a since it came out and it's been rock solid. I'll probably go for the Pixel 8 Pro because of the telephoto camera, so very happy it'll be supported longer. Could Google mandate longer updates from OEMs in general? Or is that not feasible?

iOS now supports live voicemails. Functionally equivalent to call screening, except a slightly different prompt.

The nice thing is this is on everything that runs ios17, instead of just the latest. Android seems to unnecessarily silo special features into just pixel phones for no apparent hardware reason. Often times you can sideload (with root access typically) the special pixel only features on any phone.

Nothing yet to compare to hold for me, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was coming soon.

I stopped really paying attention to Rust about 5 years ago, and am asking purely out of ignorance/curiosity, but has the community/leadership approach changed much since then? I remember async being the Shiny New Future that was talked about a lot back then, but it certainly seems like what's been added has not really done well?
Hiring is too much people is much easier than firing them. If you cut 90% of the staff keeping the people you'd want to retain is pretty much impossible (since obviously the management won't have any clue who they are).

Yeah this is the key. The audience is a group of people interested in performance art. They didn't show up for a 6 event where nothing happens.
The problem here is that homework is designed to provide the structure kids need to apply themselves and actually learn. If you don't provide structure for this, they will simply never study and accept failure. They frequently don't have the self-discipline and mindfulness and long-term vision to study "because it's the right thing to do". I know my entire education, even with college, was "why do i need to know this?" and being wildly bored with it all as a result.
