I agree you do need to do your own research about what is right for you. However I still think that my advice is right for most people - it gives a comfortable retirement without sacrificing too much of the now. If you are starting to save at 50 it doesn't work of course, starting young is continuous savings is key.

> You will live to see tomorrow.

statistically yes, but there are outliers who won't.

> If you are high enough income, maxing 401k, an IRA, and an HSA every year is sadly still not enough.

Sure, but few people are that high. Even of those who are, 22k (adjusting upward every year) from 25-65 is a lot of money. You can save a little more if you want to retire early, but you are only young once and your time is better spent enjoying youth while you have it.
Well ignoring the voting thing, which I do think is relevant, what you're describing is pretty much exactly reddit and not 4chan. Also there are a good number of famous/known personalities in HN. Also I'm pretty sure if you've been selected for the YC, you can see who else is in the YC club in HN, like your name gets highlighted or something. So the reality in HN is not at all how you describe.
I suspect that there are several "big deals" in our society that are trivialized because it's normal, common, approved of by authority, etc.

I didn't say anything with the intent to be impressive. I'm describing differences between dense urban and suburban pros & cons. Neither is objectively better, they are different.

> No transit doesn’t need to be in the same route, there are bus terminals and metro line connections

Sure. So now you need to spend a lot of time traveling in the wrong direction just to get to a central terminal and then take another bus to the intended direction. It's all tradeoffs.

It's the other way around. If you want ChromeOS (in particular with its Verified Boot system for the OS image [1]), you need special hardware that comes with Chromebooks, including the Framework Chromebook. That has nothing to do with the ability to run Linux, though.

If you don't care about Verified Boot, you can install ChromeOS-Flex on a Framework Linux device (https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/um0mk6/chromeos_...)

On the other hand, installing Linux on Chromebook hardware is straightforward.

The options are:

1. Use the Debian Linux VM (Crostini) that is already present on Chromebooks:

https://chromeos.dev/en/linux

All you do is click on a few buttons in the settings. This approach preserves Verified Boot.

If you want to replace ChromeOS on a Chromebook with a Linux distro, you can use Crouton:
https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton

This approach removes verified boot.

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote preferred (occasional travel OK)

I have over 20 years’ experience building software, specialising in:

• Technical applications (mathematical, scientific, engineering)

• Software for hardware (IoT, embedded, lab equipment)

• Interesting presentation (custom UIs, data viz)

My target market is start-ups/scale-ups/SMEs needing immediate help with either hands-on development work or strategic advice, technical design, etc.

For small to medium applications — such as an MVP for a startup, a UI for a hardware product, or implementing mathematical models and visualisations for researchers — I can offer a fully outsourced development service if required.

I can also join an existing team temporarily to give a short-term boost, perhaps helping with a challenging project or co-ordinating a larger initiative across teams. This can include a training/mentoring element if you need to upskill quickly.

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UI work) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more technical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.

This is the nature of "I have a viewpoint that must be true at all costs." It's why, in the face of extreme evidence to the contrary, they'll go full conspiracy theorist before they'll entertain the idea that their original, unfounded beliefs might be incorrect.

That answers the question. You’ve got a college degree, probably for a lot less than kids today are faced with paying, you’re probably quite successful and yet… it’s just not enough right. The most important thing is that you keep as much wealth as you can. The broader concerns of what’s good for society, that shouldn’t come into play.

Quick nitpick on Polish keyboard layouts. The "Polish (standard)" is more often referred to as the "typist" layout in Poland. IBM's docs say this is required for government contracts. I haven't seen it in any dev or home environments, but it wouldn't surprise me if some compliance-focused IT departments in the government enforce it.

<Note the duplicated entries for two of the diacritics that are used in Polish.> - did the author conflate ż with ź? A rookie mistake! :)

I'm running the 'pl' layout on my Linux box. The Alt(Gr) layer outputs the following: ≠²³¢€½§·«»–śðæŋ’ə…łźć„”ńµ≤≥. Some are expected (diacritics, €), but the presence of characters like ¢, ð, æ, ŋ, and ə is somewhat baffling, I wonder what's the history here.
The one I removed was not a Meta one but presumably someone trying to score referrals (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37741749). That was an easy call because it broke the rules at the top, which could hardly be clearer on this point.

Removing misleading job ads by companies themselves is a totally different question. You'd need an entire investigation team, or length community discussions, to figure these things out, and even then a lot of the cases would be just messy. It's fairer and cleaner to everybody to leave this for readers to make up their own minds.

I mean, if we had a magic wand and could make all misleading ads go away while preserving all true ones, of course we would; but then with such a wand, that wouldn't be near the top of the list of things to take care of.

Yeah, seems alright in order to bootstrap something. Like many of these new AI/ML workflows, I don't think they'll replace any professionals, as the results are still lacking without human intervention, but I think many (including this) is a huge time-saver for professionals who can use it as a starting point and then modify it from there, rather than doing everything from scratch.

As a European, no I don't. á isn't used in my language, but my layout offers it via a dead-key-then-base-letter mechanism, and it is correctly treated as one unit when pressing backspace, anything else would feel incorrect. It would be even worse if such a thing happened for the letters that my layout offers individual buttons for (ÅÄÖ). Some languages do treat these as letters with attached modifiers, but many, including mine, treat them as indivisible letters that just happen to look similar to some others for historical reasons, and to treat them as combinations of base letters and diacritics would be completely incorrect, even if you typed them in using the dead-key-then-base-letter mechanism for some reason.
1. The author mentions that the french (belgian) layout is more popular in luxembourg that the swiss (french) layout. Anecdotally, I can not agree with this. As a luxembourgish person, encountering many keyboards in schools, offices, through laptops i bought etc, the swiss (french) layout is by far the most common. I have never seen an Azerty used in practice except by french people. The second most common seems to be German Qwertz, that could also be because there is no amazon.lu but instead most people i know order through amazon.de which of course mostly shows german keyboards so its easy to buy it on accident.

2. I once did an exchange semester of university in France, where i was forced to use their computers for programming. Not only did I start 2 weeks after the other students due to timing issues with my primary university, but then I also had some very stressful weeks learning to program on azerty keyboards. It was very painful at first and i nearly went back to two-finger typing, but in the end after 5 months i became more fluent than i expected on azerty.

3. 3 years ago (i was around 24 years old) I decided to switch from my layout i used until then (ISO, swiss french) to the Ansi Us layout, and I am happy i did the switch. It is so much better for programming, especially wrt to [] {} (). And I even prefer typing diacritics by using US international. I write fluently in french and german with this and I like it. The main pain point was switching from vertical to horizontal enter, I typed \ for months...

No, first offense DUI in California mandates a license suspension:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.x....

California's DMV will allow people with a suspended license to drive after they've installed an IID in their vehicle, so most lawyers' websites list that as a penalty instead of a 6 month license suspension.
It's the fact that people are actively working to make those economic, social, demographic, etc. problems worse. Not merely resisting solutions that don't favor them, but seeking ways to make people's lives worse even without benefit to themselves.

The conspiracy theories are not merely gullible or greedy. They are actively choosing to be cruel. Gullibility can be taught; greedy can be negotiated. I have no tools for mitigating the craving for cruelty.
>> I used to be something of a populist (not in the "right wing Populism" sense mind), and a big believer in human potential, and thought the future could one day look something like the Star Trek: TNG world. But with every passing day, I become just a tiny hair more misanthropic and believe that all the future holds is a cyberpunk dystopia, and eventually the heat-death of the universe.

> Curious what makes you feel that way about the future? I ask because on countless objective measures, mankind is better off now than at any time in history.

"Objective measures" tend to by kind of myopic (e.g. a hyperbolic example: you're politically powerless and don't have healthcare but you're objectively better off because have color TV which not even kings had in the past). They're a data-driven trap that often blind over-analytical people like software engineers.

One thing that sucks more now is the greater interconnectedness of society. It's gotten to the point where local connectedness is weakening and withering, preventing people from finding security in a comfortable, agreeable community that's not constantly being buffeted from the outside. That pushes the atomized people into a fearful panic-mode, which increases mistrust and the appeal of conspiracy theories. It's a hard problem to solve because modern-day dogma says more interconnectedness = more better!
> You are essentially claiming that the information content of a classical recording is low, and could be replicated with fewer, simpler instruments.

No, I do agree having multiple instruments does lead to a wider sound than just a single one. Plus multiple instruments will probably help balance out a single one being out of tune or not quite hitting the note right. But still, these instruments usually are way more tuned to produce closer to pure tones and their harmonic overtones than a guitar going through half a dozen different distortion and effect pedals then through a compressor along with a guy screaming all over the place into a microphone.

Also, when strumming a guitar you're almost always playing essentially six strings at once, playing a whole chord with only one instrument. Meanwhile on a flute or a trumpet or a clarinet or a violin a single player is only playing a single note at a time, a single string of the guitar. So during strumming sections a guitar is almost like 6 instruments, in terms of signal complexity. So a rhythm guitar strumming and a lead guitar picking strings is really almost like 7 instruments played by two people compared to many orchestral instruments.

Just look at these two spectrograms. Look at the rock song where there's a lot of distorted guitar, bass, drums, and singing going on and compare that to an active part of the classical recording. See how the classical recording has a lot more clean, straight lines while the rock song is a lot more fuzzy? Imagine if these were images, which would be more complicated to accurately compress? That's not really a great analogy, but it is touching on the same concept.

A lot of Americans in particular and many people from the post-Soviet regions are inclined to disregard Marxism for ideological reasons, and often in response to the incredible oppression and mismanagement conducted in its name. But I think people who at least understand Marxism specifically and materialism in general gain some effective tools for reasoning about the world.

Think of the way that China has essentially de-industrialized America. To anyone with the thinnest understanding of Marxism, this is obviously the success of a decades-long, deliberate strategy to build power and a material advantage, by exploiting an innate weakness of finance-oriented management. But it's been conceptually and ideologically invisible to people who aren't thinking that way. Many people observing the "economic" effects end up searching for some kind of singular or complex "economic" cause, not understanding the whole process as a higher-order materialist project.
Because other contexts exist.

For getting started, I'd recommend https://huggingface.co/autotrain - you should be able to find docs on the CLI which can let you do your first training run w/ a single command (which includes automatically pulling the model and training dataset from Huggingface). As long as you have an Nvidia GPU w/ enough VRAM should take only a few hours to tune a 3B model on a small dataset like Alpaca.
> Another unfortunate example of locale dependence is the Unicode handling of dotless i in the Turkish language.

This isn't quite Unicode's fault, as the alternative would be to have two codepoints each for `i` and `I`, one pair for the Latin versions and one for the Turkish versions, and that would be very annoying too.

Whereas the Russian/Bulgarian situation is different. There used to be language tags in Unicode for that, but IIRC they got deprecated, and maybe they'll have to get undeprecated.
Disagree. Most top CEOs do little writing, and I don't get the impression that those who do are particularly good at it. Warren Buffett has never written a book in his 7-decade long career and I think only a single op-ed, in 2008. Elon Musk's only form of communication to the outside world is Twitter.
This is just my cynical opinion, but I think humanity would be better off if we all just agreed to throw our AI research in the garbage. What is the upside to all of this? Worker A does less work, Worker B loses their job, and Worker A continues to make the same salary and work the same hours they did before. And on the other end, customers and consumers get more SEO spam, more low-quality art, music, tv shows, and books. As if we need more of anything. I'm not against all technology, this just feels like a particularly dangerous development.
Ukraine obviously didn't have control over territory in Crimea, so any use for Starlink there would be about using it as a remote control system for a weapon, which does make it a key component of a weapon guidance system and thus something that the US did not want operating all the way through Crimea at the time. This has only recently changed with the US agreeing to supply ATACMS.

It's kind of funny on many levels that when Musk or his businesses go against the US government or don't stick perfectly to its interests, your types rush out of the woodworks screeching about how the company needs to be seized and forced into compliance. But when they carefully follow the government's position, your types rush out to argue that the company and its CEO specifically are propping up a genocide. It's a lose-lose situation and so no wonder SpaceX et al mostly don't bother commenting on the lie of the week.
