David Oshinsky at the WSJ made a similar argument a few days ago. In part:

The science juries have always favored the individual over the group. It goes back to Nobel’s preference for one winner per category, which made good sense when most scientists toiled alone and the best of them—a Louis Pasteur or a Joseph Lister—might single-handedly pull off a miracle. Times have changed, yet the rules, amended slightly to include three yearly recipients, still project a “winner-take-all” attitude in an increasingly collaborative scientific world.

Complicating this problem is the committee’s preference for “original discoveries” over “practical applications.” In doing so, it has denied the prize in physiology or medicine to some of the most fabled researchers of the past century, including Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine. With his file now open for inspection, we can see that Salk was nominated and rejected for the prize on several occasions, the main obstacle being one juror’s repeated charge that his work relied too heavily on the building blocks of others—in short, it provided “nothing new.” ....

It does sound shallow, that's because having children impacts you more than for a year or two and it's more than just losing sleep.

On top of that, they face massive lawsuits for violating existing IP etc. It's far from a proven business model indeed (heck, OpenAI isn't even profitable yet), and even further as a technology (because it is so inherently unreliable - no matter the model size).

So atm they just sell hype, and not much more.
They took them all the way out to space
The slash between CI and CD means they can be decoupled. Push whenever you want, see if it builds. See it deployed the next business day.
Such bad memories of the team where everything was oriented around the weekly demo: One day a week spent on throwaway work to make a demo run, and then getting yelled at for not being productive enough.
The thing to realize is your (I am presuming) inflexible job was probably as responsible as your kid. They should let you work very flexible hours if you just had a kid unless by nature it just can't be done for that job.

I wonder if there's a way to get the digital audio in ATRAC format out of these discs, into proper computer files, without decoding it.
Try a keyboard running QMK firmware. You can map a single key to multiple codes depending on the length of the key press. I use caps lock as escape if released immediately, and control if held down. Putting the modifiers in the bottom corner of the keyboard was a sadistic design choice.
>Hoping AirGradient can become a serious competitor to the far too expensive PurpleAir

AirGradient's outdoor sensor costs $155, Purple's is $229, is 50% higher price "far too expensive"? From your comment, I expected Purple's to cost several times more.
I suspect the organization gets too big, and the communication overhead + politics takes over everything else. That is, I think it is theoretically not possible at a large organization, except in very rare circumstances where you've lucked into the right people and incentive structure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It really is not. On an FPGA, additional logic does not slow down the other logic. In a hypervisor it does!
Quick advice - see if you can shift that to getting up earlier. You will probably spend the couple of hours in the morning in a way that sets you up for a better day vs staying up late sets you up for a bad tomorrow.

I say this as an always "late" person who now tries to get up at 5 to work out and reflect, it's been very helpful.
A key thing to note is that if you have sleep apnea, even if you think you're getting 7-8 hrs of sleep, you likely aren't.

If you (or likely your partner) suspects you have apnea, talk to your doctor.

Doing a sleep study/test and getting treatment for apnea will likely transform your life for the better.

This is all very good and very, ahem, true. But (and it's a big butt);

if (need_free == true)

Is such a horrible code smell to me. You have a perfectly good boolean. Why compare it to a second boolean to get a third boolean?

if (need_free)

or

if (!need_free)

for the opposite case is so much better.

I will admit that in my world this leaves

if (need_free == some_other_bool)

as something I don't have a particularly comfortable way of doing safely.

> That's a pretty big caricature of anarchists. I'd expect an anarchist to say something to the effect of businesses creating insulin if there's enough market demand for it.

You'd expect anarchists to support a business? Not left-anarchists, and I don't think I've ever met a "centrist anarchist". Ancaps maybe, but they're kind of bad for other obvious reasons.

Anyway, it is not, their answer is literally to shrug and say "people will do it".

https://twitter.com/doikaytnik/status/1680004065366011904

Sometimes they say "people will network" or "we'll rob a CVS".

https://twitter.com/RndmStreetMedic/status/16801584027673804...

Either way, nobody has realized that supply chains exist. When they say "people", they don't mean businesses, because they don't believe in management or capital assets.

> The Chop wasn't any real attempt at anarchy. It was a protest that took a weird turn and a city that let it happen.

But that makes it even worse that their murder rate was so much worse than the rest of the country!

Of course, that's not the usual problem with an anarchist collective. The usual problem is what happens when the more charismatic members sexually assault the less charismatic members. (Hint: they get ejected for trying to go to the police and it gets covered up.)

It doesn't seem like most Nobel laureates do their work with the sole intent of winning. I think it serves more as one of the highest forms of recognition, not necessarily a place to stand on a podium.
> Is that even theoretically possible, assuming we don't do the obvious thing and make normal CPUs slower to force it to be true?

No. With all the space they waste being reconfigurable, the max frequency they can support at the logic element level is much lower just due to how much distance the signal has to travel without attenuating too much.
He never intended to buy the company, it was just a poorly executed excuse for a TSLA stock sale that got out of hand. There was never a reason to buy Twitter.

But once he had it, he’s been concentrating on the technical stack as if that was the biggest problem. Musk spent so much time there because he’s bad at this and focuses on the wrong things, because those are the things he’s good at. I think he is a really good engineering CEO but Twitter’s problems are 90% social.

Yesterday I summarised 15 years of my web comments with Mistral for RAG augmentation, took a few hours. Great little model I can run even on a 2080ti. As small as it is, it understands English and executes instructions fluently.
It can be difficult, but it's also just a blip on the radar.

I don't know if this is your first or second, but I found that everything was significantly easier the second time around. I didn't realize how much my wife and I had learned to handle things more efficiently and split the load better over time.

You learn quickly.

> I now fully understand why some people don't want to get kids.

I don't know about that. I think the current trend is greatly overestimating the lifetime impact of some of these short-term difficulties of child raising. If someone actually wants kids but avoids it because they don't want their sleep inconvenienced for a couple percent of their entire life, I'd question if they're weighing the tradeoffs appropriately. It's a choice for the rest of your life, but some people treat it like those first several months are the entirety of the decision making process, which is weird.

Sure. They can buy oil. But, how will it make it to China in a war? With sanctions applied by the US Navy.

And what about basic necessities like food? China can only meet 65% of it’s food needs.

China is completely vulnerable and dependent on the west, in a way that Russia is not.
Not if you add a constraint that ensures survival of humanity.
Another anecdote, but I remember someone here commenting that after several days without sleep he got his amygdala (maybe?) physically damaged and that permanently f-ed up his sleep schedule.

As a terminal procrastinator who frequently pulls all-nighters (this year I even got to two in 3 days) I was terrified (and apparently decided to never comply with any deadline anymore, but that's another story).
I’m probably being a bit naive here but isn’t the idea that you are just demo-ing the work your team is already meant to be doing? In that case turning the work into a demo should be as simple as running a bunch of tests on a big screen. Tests that you would be writing anyway.

What am I missing?
> Or famous people can maintain authoritative lists of things they have done and said.

Which can easily omit things they did say but wish they hadn't.
This is pretty similar to how I approach building software:

0) Sketch on paper

1) Clickable, static prototype that looks as if it works but actually does nothing, but is genuinely running on all target platforms (installed app or real URLs) that is nothing more than grey boxes and black arial font on a white background (but for example with real client side interaction widgets)

2a) Give this to a designer and say "make it look better", from which you get a set of design assets

2b) Give this to a developer and say "make it function"

3) Give designs to developer and say "make your version look like this"

The main challenge is ensuring that the designs stay in a format accessible by designers, such that it can be applied by developers to the functional application without starting from scratch.

The specifics on how to solve that and other challenges will vary a bit depending on the platforms and relative costs of prevailing skillsets but it's very much focused on having a thing that works as an app on the target platforms as early as possible, and implementing the smallest possible set of features with each iteration.
Any parent will tell you that having kids is not going to help your sleep, but most parents find sacrifice unequivocally worth it on the net.

Not sure if this is truly what you meant but I would find it highly abnormal that a child does not bring your sufficient joy and meaning that would offset sleep loss.
I also heard that the second is easier, but it is still some drain so we decided not to get a second one. I think it really depends on 1) How much energy one has stored before getting the kid, and 2) How easy/difficult the kid could be.

It's definitely not just a few months. It has been 3 years for me and I don't really think it's going to end soon. Again this is just personal, not an average experience.
Much appreciated! Thanks!
Fun read.

What happened to the conditional expressions? Move them to the interiors of doX() and doZ().

That was an interesting point. Not sure that it's always valid but I guess it depends where you want the abstraction to lay, and how it affects the mental construct around the code.

e.g.

deleteRecords();

is not better than

if let x = deadRecords()
deleteRecords(x);

Sure, it looks messier but there is value is showing upfront that you're pruning and not wiping.

If the author wisely renames his function e.g. pruneDeadProjects(), yes. But merely moving the the condition within the function can be dangerous for context and be a leaky abstraction.
Are you physically tired when trying to sleep? Without a level of physical activity is next to impossible to achieve a good night sleep.
Work is what we do for others, hobbies are what we do for ourselves.

In some cases, those 2 things align but that's a happy coincidence and is often not sustained.

If you focus instead on whether or not you're actually creating value for someone else, then work can be enjoyable even if it doesn't feel like a hobby.
The real techniques that give you an edge are behind NDA's. I know someone who makes 100k a day, trading with very low risk. (0.5% risk per trade).
The premise of the sentence you cited is that it is necessary to call application code (constructors) to maintain security/integrity.

What I am saying is that it is NOT necessary to implement secure serialisation and deserialisation because you CAN (and should?) implement it at a different layer and transparently to the application code.
I hope I don't come across as the "well ackshually" guy, and I'm not definitely telling you to change, but maybe this could be useful to you: the alcohol episode of Huberman Lab podcast mentioned briefly at about 1:02:40 that in a discussion with a UC Berkley sleep researcher, it was said that having any alcohol at all on board interferes with sleep to the point that those in the field call it pseudo-sleep because it lacks most of the restorative value of sleep.
> She tried many solutions but to no vail. But it seems having an intentional period of wind down before bed (e.g., 1 hour on the couch, scrolling social media and listening to podcasts) helps. When she goes to bed after that, she never uses her phone and can sleep much better.

It feels so strange to read posts where people rediscover the importance of basic sleep hygiene. Having some time to wind down and not using phones in bed are two of the most basic sleep hygiene practices around.

I'm curious what "many solutions" she tried before getting back to the basics, because the exact sleep hygiene practices you described are at the front of the list for things that doctors explore first with patients.

Unfortunately, some doctors and/or internet advice places skip straight to medications, supplements, and an assumption that the problem can only be addressed by chemical means. The number of people who jump straight to melatonin or even prescription sedatives without making any attempts to alter their daily practices is worrisome.
Out of curiosity, wouldn't it be easier/cheaper/faster to use some existing off-the-shelf design and drill/machine some holes if you need it slightly modified?

It seems everyone reinvents the plastic-rectangle-with-grooves. Is there some obvious reason for this?

And is there some canonical place you can get some proven high-quality boxes in bulk?

A friend and I made some sensor boards and used off the shelf waterproof enclosures - but I wonder if there is some go-to standard enclosures that people go for

Non-linear problem of 90% utilization
＞ I'm confident that Apple takes accessibility very seriously

I think Apple gets too much of a pass for being serious and commited, where other players have actual results.

On mild level accessibility, the part that surprised me the most was keyboard mapping. While macos got caps lock/esc/ctl remapping as touted out improvement, there is no blessed way to remap the rest of the keys.

That means third party deamons like Karabiner are the only straight option, and since it stopped being a kernel extension it's also out of the critical loops and will lag under load. In the worst moment I see keystrokes getting processed with enough lag to miss the combined triggers or go to different applications.

Windows has more options out of the box (e.g. 106 key layouts IME languages etc.), Powertoys is blessed and efficient, and AutoHotKey works well even under stress.

I'm still hoping for more improvement on macos land, but I wish there was less talk and more work on Apple's part.

countof(foo()) looks like foo() is only called once, but would actually be called twice. That's what GP is talking about, it's evaluated twice after the expansion when the code is actually running, not during the expansion.
I'm so glad someone else had the experience! Just being that combination of bored and curious that makes you open everything with notepad until you find something cool, clicking through windows registry entries and changing stuff to see if it does anything, then having your mind blown when you find a hex editor for the first time because you read some text file that shows you how to edit a specific value to cheat in a game .... then you kinda boggle at how they knew which value to edit. Then it takes you another 5-10 years to figure that one out. I do think I could have learned faster if I had a guide, but also not having one helped in its own weird way.
Okay, so they've taken an old method and applied it to deep learning and they say it's better.

But I'm not seeing anything beyond that in this article.

I haven't read the linked paper yet, but I'm not seeing much meat in this article. Just giving us the abstract from the paper might have been better.
To be fair, if I am given any choice of leetcode I'll know the place isn't somewhere I want to work. I have little interest in that whole thing. I'm not grinding away hours and hours and hours of my life just so I can get denied in the fourth round, again.

Seems like if you want to make serious money as a breeder you need to get ahead of the wave. I'm surprised atomic gardening isn't more popular. You can take a bunch of plants around some cobalt-60, let it go to seed, explore the mutant progeny for phenotypes of interest. Many commercially significant crops were found using this technique. It's basically a hack for the breeder to introduce phenotypic diversity through mutation where there wasn't any before, within a single growing season to boot. Imagine what you could do with a monstera like this. Maybe you will find some unicorn phenotype like true breeding purple leaves, now that would fetch a price especially if you were the only breeder in the world with these genetics.

Shockingly prevalent too, especially if you're male, and gets more common with age. ~90% of elderly men and ~80% of elderly women have apnea (I point to these stats because they're higher confidence, but somewhere between 1/20 and 1/3 among the general population).
I'm getting an "I don't use const, and here's my view on it" vibe from the author much more than "you shouldn't use const". I'm really not getting any demand that you change your coding style, just someone reflecting on their work and explaining it to others. And... Whether I agree with their choices or not, I find that very cool and informative.
I used to have a sloop (J/109) and once I got it up to 17 knots surfing* downwind. It was exhilarating but terrifying. There’s no way I would ride on a sailboat going 60kts+.

I find that in many cases the most recent things get more attention than other things.

e.g. for the following two approaches

1. intro, instruction, large body of text to work on

2. intro, large body of text to work on, instruction

I find that the second method gets desirable output far more consistently. It could be this would then mean if there are conflicting instructions, the second instruction will simply over-ride the first. This general behavior is also how prompt injection style jailbreaks like DAN work. You're using later contradictory instruction to bring about behavior explicitly forbidden.

If only there were a way to indicate the function argument isn't mutated. 


My spidey senses tingle whenever I see const-ness cast away because it almost always means something is wrong. Either a function is missing a qualifier on an argument, or something very unsafe is happening. Why force callers to cast away const-ness in hopes that everything will be fine when you can just write the correct function signature.
Pretty much agree with most of this. My own personal evolved style is pretty similar. I'm suspect this kind of pragmatic style offends the theoretic and the academic. That can be intimidating. I'm glad at least one other person out there is like me.
Based on my experience, one of the most challenging aspects of CRM is having sales agents manually enter customer data and log activities such as calls and emails, especially when dealing with messaging across different platforms. While many SaaS and open-source CRM systems offer basic contact, lead, and opportunity management features, they often lack comprehensive solutions for these issues.
Relieving my sleep apnea has been - by far - the biggest impact to my health and well-being. It's like a new lease on life. Just took a $60 retainer from Walgreens (this won't work for everyone). Memory, word recall, mood, energy - you name it: just much better than before. It was a slow process to get below what I would call normal (to say nothing of, "optimal"). It snuck up on me and I just never understood how terrible I was while just trying to live "normally.

I would compare it to having a fairly robust drinking problem, and then finally getting sober.
