Firstly, do not take the notebook as something sacred. Especially if it is hardcover, you might see it as more valuable than a simple notebook you would use in school. It is not. You can buy a simple softcover with 20 sheets in it to give it a try and not feel like you are wasting "good notebook". But you will soon realize that it feels not worthy of your thoughts and time. You will want to write into something better to give it more meaning. Hence, go for something better right away. As for what to write, literally anything. What gained your attention during your day, what angered you, what was good, some philosophical topics you were pondering or some conclusions you came to during your day. Long or short, it does not matter. This is one of those things where "just do it" is the answer. After couple of days you will settle into it and start forming your own style of what to write, when, how... Personally I have added two aspects to my writing - I always put a date before I start writing if the date has changed form last entry and I draw a border round it to make it visually distinguishable. And I also highlight the main words that the entry is about by underscoring it. Like a hashtag on twitter. This allows me to browse pages and quickly see when i wrote and what i wrote about.

I have also ordered an A6 "pocket" notebook where I want to write one or two sentences or just key words per entry as condensed conclusions to my thoughts or sayings or quotes i heard or read. It should be this condensed book of knowledge and philosophy where long form is not exactly suitable for it.

PS: in my first month, i wrote a lot because there was a lot on my mind. But after a while your brains gets a bit quieter because you are doing this "exercise" and you will go through a short phase where you will be looking for something to write about. That might last a week or two until you settle into the habit and write only when you feel like it. I kinda miss writing when I have nothing to write about so sometimes i just write meaningless thoughts just for the sake of writing. Not all the time, just sometimes.
People are more concerned about they car they drive tomorrow than the pollution and ecological effects they experience in the future; and not concerned at all by the issues they cause for future generations.
I think they are still in some kind of learning phase / silent rollout and hopefully will fix this soon. I already can see that many users who are not that tech-savvy will also have big issues once it comes to managing their passkeys.
There are many ways of implementing it and many reasons it may fail or succeed, but you've made your extreme bias clear. What was the purpose of your comment? To feel superior despite not having the slightest actual argument to present? Let me guess, you feel the same way about congestion taxes.
We are already placing all kinds of obligations on owners of money, or owners of anything else. Are all these automatically immoral?

And how do you judge anyone's reasons for not working? I prefer not to do it.

And yet another question - why do you want value more than wealth? Value is implied to be zero-sum game. But wealth actually grows when money circulates and when all people have their basic needs met. I'd prefer the latter.
or when the Army denies government and media stated incidents making people believe they were false flag operations to justify further destruction of a ethnic people.
Not everyone does. Maybe people in the US, but most EU countries don't have any fossil fuel industry to subsidize.

Where I live people are against solar/wind because they want to go nuclear.
Those armchair experts are typically being fed by carbon lobby or pro nuclear propaganda.

The propaganda is motivated by profit (carbon lobby, nuclear lobby) and the demands of the military (the nuclear-military industrial complex needs a civilian nuclear-industrial ecosystem to keep a lid on costs).

The propaganda tries to tap into that innate ego you referenced though. "Well, actually, the sun doesn't shine at night", "what do we do when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing? Not use power?", "but geography for pumped storage is very rare isn't it?", "wind farms are very bad for birds!", "nuclear power may be expensive but it's very stable!", "enough batteries to cover solar/wind would be prohibitively expensive", "germany is trying to decarbonize completely the wrong way it's so stupid!" etc. All of these things are in line with the above money flows, are quite wrong, but plausible. They are carefully positioned as being the smart person's take on a complex issue.

There are 30-40 regular talking points, many of which appear regularly on hacker news. I think I've had to post the same academic study about how pumped storage geography is actually very common at least 15 times, for instance. You don't get such specific mass misconceptions on such a large scale without some level of money behind the message. It typically filters through from lobby group -> mass media -> average citizen -> hacker news comments.
> Why should a city incentive land owners to develop and commoditize their land?

Because otherwise newcomers are stuck paying high rents to people who got there first, causing misery and impoverishing young people to the benefit of the old. And when young people lack opportunity, violence happens.

> why not incentive the opposite and incentive leaving the land natural?

We do. All over the place. But for the cost of a square mile of Central London being natural, we could have a dozen square miles of natural land just 50 miles away. Because way more people want to live in Central London than a commuter town.
100% agree. As far as I'm concerned, companies like OpenAI conflate ML models with AI to embellish what it can do to prop up their market cap. It's a language model in the form of a search engine, and it seems news outlets are none the wiser.

The most frustrating is that buses don't respect it either. If they were to try to enforce it strictly there would be protests I'm sure.
But they are not directly elected to ministerial positions.

In a parliamentary system (ie most countries in the EU) members of parliament are elected. Parliament appoints a premier. Premier appoints ministers with parliamentary approval.

EU commissioners are nominated by the member states subject to their own laws. Typically that means they are chosen by your elected government.

If you want a directly elected commissioner that’s a matter of national politics. Your country is free to change its laws to select a commission nominee via a national vote.
Maybe that's a sign that the "city" is too big? Much of what we call Dallas is not in Dallas, they are a different city. It makes sense to have a flat rate for all of Frisco and that tax rate will be different from that of Waxahachie.

But, only the Mitsubishi Uniball Jetstream SXN-210, not the SXN-150.
If that's the reason then those people are misinformed.

Coal and gas plants are closing because they cannot compete on price with solar/wind + battery storage.

The cost advantage is not true everywhere but the future is clear. Coal and gas will not become cheaper. Solar and wind is most expensive today it'll ever be.

Storage in particular is so early in the cycle that we can expect the cost will drop at least in half. We've barely started making battery storage, the industry has 100x growth ahead.

And this is without pricing the real costs of using oil & coal & gas like all those people who have asthma (or worse) because they inhale the fumes.

Even living in a city (cars) has clear statistical link to increased asthma and other respiratory diseases compared to places with less cars.
'Skyrocketed' is an interesting choice of phrase!
Anecdotally, I am yet to meet a single person, in or out of my professional life, who thinks ChatGPT is in any way sentient.
If once in bitcoin's history there is 51% attack, all energy that was ever used was used to prevent this one attack. Wow, you totally convinced me.
No way they are misinformed, look at German power mix. Germany - the most vocal proponents of wind/solar - is the most polluting country in the whole EU.

> Coal and gas plants are closing because they cannot compete on price with solar/wind + battery storage.

That did not happen anywhere in Europe. New gas plants are being constructed right now, and coal powerplants had to be restarted when Germans dropped nuclear.

> Storage in particular is so early in the cycle that we can expect the cost will drop at least in half. We've barely started making battery storage, the industry has 100x growth ahead.

We need to decarbonize today though. People don't want to pay the high prices, so how does the drop happen?

> And this is without pricing the real costs of using oil & coal & gas like all those people who have asthma (or worse) because they inhale the fumes.

Again, ask Germans about that. Their universal healthcare is going to get expensive soon if they continue on their "green" path.

> Even living in a city (cars) has clear statistical link to increased asthma and other respiratory diseases compared to places with less cars.

Completely orthogonal, people mostly agree on that, but they (where I live) want to charge the electric cars from nuclear energy.
Seems like a very paternalistic style of management.
What are these symptoms of being concious? I can finetune an LLM to say it's concious, but I don't think anyone would find that convincing.
"A neuron can't think."
Yeah, I'm a little baffled by HN's contempt for engineering management. IME, whether the manager is any good is one of the most important factors in whether the team is any good; it's one of the things I'd be most concerned about if I was moving role.
Really impressive for a side project! However, it also feels wasteful to just let go of it after so many work hours invested…
How about open-sourcing it? Even if only one person picks it up for personal use it’s better than just rotting-bits on your hard drive
BB(3,3) is busy beaver (BB) problem, a subset of Turing machines (TM) [0], with 3 states (A,B,C) and three symbols (0,1,2) that can be written onto the infinitely long tape. An additional criteria for a Busy Beaver-like Turing machine is that there is a "halt" state, which can be seen in the article's table for state C reading input 0.

The table in the article (under "The Machine" section) describes the state on the left hand column (A,B,C) and the input on the top row (0,1,2). The entry in the table describes, as far as I can tell, what the Turing machine writes back to the tape, the direction it goes and the state it transitions to.

So for entry 'A', '2', the entry is '1LC', meaning it writes '1' at the tape position it's in, moves one to the left then transitions to state 'C'. State 'C' on reading symbol '0' will halt, as is the requirement for it being a buys beaver machine.

I very weakly understand the 'A(a,b,c)' notation in the 'Analysis' section but I don't quite understand what it's saying. The line that says "A(a,b,c) = 0^\inf 12^a 11^b <A 11^c 0^\inf" is describing the input tape state, with s^x denoting symbol s repeated x times, but I don't quite understand what the "<A" is.

The table below it describes what I believe are essentially reduction rules. That is, "if the state of the TM is like this, we can deduce it will be reduced to this state" which is how it relates back to the Collatz conjecture.

Anyway, nice article. Wish there was a "glossary" section that described the esoteric notation.

My manager has a bit more than 20 direct reports, and it works well in my experience. We have 1:1 every two weeks, but often there's not much to say.

The manager can manage that many people because he's not involved with our day-to-day work. We have a Scrum Master and Product Owner who handle their "management" parts. If there's some problem which needs manager's attention it's typically SM who communicates that.

The manager takes part in some meetings (like planning), but mostly just listening.

A more general thought so, one that troubles me, is that both "sides" of the public opinion cobflicts we see in the west today seem to be totally fine with using authoritarian measures for the greater good, some more than others and the far right actively advocating for it. It will be liberals that loose with that approach, as the goals of the political liberals can easily be framed as "they want to take away things", hence the far right gets a huge opening.
Good point.

I also realize that there is no clear demarcation between speech and criminal action and that my position cannot be upheld in the strict sense.

Nevertheless, I seem to be orders of magnitude more liberal than the mainstream about what is permissible speech. And I continue to find the extent to which speech is monitored and regulated disturbing, and it's getting worse.

I've worked at many software companies, and the idea that a engineering manager can do a system design is hilarious.

I must admit I found your comment jarring at first, but I don't think we really disagree except on details. I enjoy driving fast in wide open spaces (through farmland on the autobahn for instance).

But (and I think you see this) there is a key difference between a street and a road - a _street_ most definitely _should_ have things to slow drivers, because the faster the cars go, the less pleasant it is for anyone not in a car. Nobody likes walking next to 80 kph traffic. But if a system is well designed the only reason you're driving on a street is because it's your destination, and not something you're using to get somewhere else.
Unravelling the Mystery of Truncated Post Requests on Report URI
Capitalism and people getting rich is for better or worse exactly the stabilizing factor that has lead to the success of the modern world we take for granted. Capitalism is the worst except for all the others.

I empathize that it appears the case it's not an optimal allocation, but to say you know it's a misallocation leans overly simplistic.

What you see as misdirection of resources is the product of competitive market forces that drive innovation and efficiency. And the market often finds value in ways not immediately apparent.

Is less efficient resource arbitration (futures, forex) worth the trade-off? Producers can make their own market and set their own prices. But do that in an information vacuum and there will be increased deadweight loss in the form of higher bid-ask spreads, increasing costs, reducing economic activity.

There are more benefits in the form of reducing volatility and increasing liquidity.

It is not at all as obvious as you make it that society would be better off had HFTs and similarly received sorts of "financialization" not exist.
Cheers! Mainly a couple of things:

- I don't like to have to put {{ ref('source') }} everywhere. I think the tool should parse dependencies automatically. I wrote more about this here: https://maxhalford.github.io/blog/dbt-ref-rant/
- I don't like the idea each .sql file has to have an associated .yml file. It feels better to have everything in one place. For instance, with lea you can add a @UNIQUE tag as an SQL comment to unit test a column for uniqueness.

Moreover, although dbt brought a shift in the way we do data (which is great) it's very straightforward under the hood. It boils down to parsing queries, organizing them in a DAG, and processing said DAG. dbt feels bloated to me. Also, it seems to me some of the newer cool features are going to be put behind a paywall (e.g. metric layers)
I think that misses the point a bit. It's an easier question, but it's also a different question. It's often easier to answer a question that glosses over the situational nuances.

Whatever your circumstances, whether you're a man, woman, something else; some of that is a given. It's not just who you are or who you chose to be, but the expectations and opportunities made available to us based on who we appear to be.

It is a relevant question to ask what is the best way of playing the hand you were dealt by circumstance.
Where do you get this information? I’m genuinely curious.
They are not really verified by full nodes either.

Computation is done by a Prover and duplicated by a Verifier. If the Verifier finds the computation result to be wrong, then they can identify a single gate (e.g. a NAND-gate) in the circuit doing the computation whose output bit(s) is wrong for its input bits, and expose this by engaging in an on-chain gate fraud proof, consisting of an alternation of transactions by Prover and Verifier that ends with one of them taking funds (the Prover in case the single gate computed correctly, the Verifier otherwise).
While I'm sure that deliberate summarization and also as a sibling posted, the slowness of the act are parts of it, I strongly suspect the actual mechanism of moving hand across space helps to engrave concepts in the mind. The connection between mind and body is strong. I can only speak to myself of course, but I've found that even quickly, absentmindedly, and imprecisely drawing out items on paper cements ideas in my mind way better than not doing it. I think the same concept applies to typing things out on a computer instead of copy and pasting. Even with minimal front-of-mind attention, the retention rate is stronger. Of course, writing on paper is even better than typing it on a computer.

That being said, I wouldn't trade typing on a computer for writing on paper, given the sheer speed I can achieve with one. But if we're limiting ourselves to trying to better increase retention and understanding, then I think pen-on-paper is the most valuable thing one can do.

My anecdotal experience is that we are the minority, but in a completely different sense.

My parents (whose tech-savvy level is they call iPad "PC") think ChatGPT is like Google, but "someone make it say the search result like a human".
Seems reasonable that large, general purpose LLM's are developed as digital public goods and effort is extended to support as many human languages as possible.

Alas, as you can easily confirm by checking the number of entries in Wikipedia, most populations have more pressing concerns than digitizing their cultural universes. Which is sad predicament: the equivalent of non-reversible biodiversity loss, but applied to human culture.

In theory I suppose one could plug-in gaps in available corpora with translation, but ideally you want to preserve the richness of distinct cultures.

The issue I have with attestation it that I feel that I feel that we're saying "is it a problem?" "no, but it theoretically could be, so let's use passwords instead".

I think that passkeys are better than passwords, even with attestation, and if it becomes a problem, we can complain about it then.
