In SBF's case, Adderall withdrawal?
In theory that sounds like a great idea, however in practice it isn't, because all you have done is compiled your own custom made distro that no one else uses and benefits from, thus just a waste of time and resources.
Is it though? How much does all the associated gear, operators, actors, sets, producers cost? In the context of professional video production, a one time savings of $6k seems pretty small.

My McDonald's employment ended more than 50 years ago--not too soon for me, and probably, come to that, not too soon for them. I was not lazy, nor were my co-workers. I was not particularly efficient, but it was the third W-2 job I ever held.

I did hold one more fast food job after that, and can tell you that it was not one for the lazy.

(I will add that the job then paid minimum wage--$1.60/hour. That summer, $1.60 would buy 5 gallons of gasoline.)
But isn't it "too smart by half" kind of move?

> You don't get to hear the homeschooling horrors when they happen because they are private.

You're also not going to hear about the homeschooling horrors from the typical HN demographic. Broadly, and obviously with exceptions, there are two groups of parents who choose to homeschool: 1. Parents who have an abundance of educational resources and time and do it to provide a higher quality of education, and 2. Parents who do it for religious separatism reasons because public school gets in the way of their indoctrination. Selection bias means you're going to see a lot of the outcomes from #1 posting here, and not a lot of #2.

For every example who was homeschooled with a high-quality curriculum, had great parent-run extracurriculars, socialized well, and so on, how many examples are invisibly stuck as someone's housewife who can't even be employed because their only textbook was the Bible, and they didn't learn anything past 3rd grade math? They're not posting their horror story here on HN.

Here's the full quote. The article is pretty fluffy.

> “I think definitely one of the tech industry’s worst mistakes in a long time was that everybody could go full remote forever, and startups didn’t need to be together in person and, you know, there was going to be no loss of creativity,” he told attendees. “I would say that the experiment on that is over, and the technology is not yet good enough that people can be full remote forever, particularly on startups.”

I'm biased, but I don't really agree with him. To me, an experiment collects data methodically and comes to a conclusion based solely on the outcome. I suspect he's just stating his own biases as though they were facts—unless there's some rigorous study I've not seen.

My bias is not only that I work better outside of an office, but that I was involved in a fully-remote startup a few years ago that was the most creative and productive environment I've ever worked in, so I have trouble believing those qualities are related to whether a company is distributed or not, and tend to think failures to achieve them at a high level in a remote environment is usually due to other factors.

this is an extremely good point and it's extremely telling that Sam Altman etc don't even pretend to care about the actual consequences of what they're doing and selling, prefering to worry aloud about scifi stories that will not stop their short term financial success.
I am also autistic :)

I classify it into three tribes, using neutral language: the organisers, the dreamers and the demystifies.

Organising autistic people are highly conscientious, motivated by (often disregulated) compassion, rule-imposing, morality is quite personal and imposing, etc. -- board games, civil service, etc. They feel controlled by others having too much freedom, their unexpected behaviour makes them feel unsafe.

The dreamers do not follow any rules, create rich fantasy worlds, like fiction, like high moral principles -- morality is monkish, self-imposing, sacrificial. They feel controlled by too much detail, too many tasks -- they want to live in a removed space.

The demystifiers are ultra pragmatists in many areas (but not all), like non-fiction, are suspicious of 'moral formulas', are suspicious of fantasy, and so on. They feel controlled by others trying to define the bounds of acceptable behaviour. They want to live in a space where everyone is maximally accepted for their invidual preferences.

We're all mixtures, but I find I cannot abide people of the first tribe -- and my friends belong to the other two. That I also have ADHD means I tend to sit across the latter two, depending on the area.

But in general, i'm ruthelessly sceptical of the imaginary worlds people create to make meaning in the world; very sceptical of abstraction in morality; very sceptical of lack of abstraction in philosophy; and so on.

In otherwords, i'm very sceptical of certain emotions (compassion, wonder, ...) and very fond of others (irony, say, esp.).

I think having ADHD also makes you more likely to be in the latter two tribes -- i think the classical popular presentation of autistic personalities lie much more in the first category.

> for some reason they couldn't focus on the profile?

The edge is in focus, but in this case it's only at the one bright spot where the light is hitting it.

It's the depth of field. It's a limitation of the lens. Taking high detail close-up photos that keep everything in focus is quite a lot more complicated than you might expect. You often can't have high detail and have everything in focus at the same time. The closer something is to the lens, the smaller your depth of field. The larger your aperture, the smaller your depth of field. But those affect other things like the amount of light passing through the aperture and so on.

I wish I could upvote you twice. If my job was a 15 minute drive away or a 15 minute metro ride away, of course I would happily go to the office.

But what we get is a 1 hour commute each way, to have to find a place to sit in some sort of dynamic desk arrangement, in an open office setting that is noisy at the very least. And those meetings that are so much better in person? Good luck booking a meeting room. Where is the focus and increased productivity?
Show HN: A new-age no-code platform
Hey hackers!

For the past 2 years, we have been building a no-code application that lives upto its name enabling users to develop an application from scratch to deploying it in three simple steps: Create models(read database tables if it makes sense); setup the permissions - app level and database level; generate beautiful UI automatically and just simply add/remove styles as per your liking. Then just hit deploy and let the platform do all your grunt work of setting up databases, handling the requests, proper permissions, authentications and many such things which are just trivial in building a business.

At Brokenatom, we believe that an application should be an aid to your business, not a hindrance. With that in mind, we have simplified and automated every step of the way that can be optimised. Our vision is to empower anyone to build an application without any prior knowledge of traditional coding or hiring a huge software team to do that.

Our website is at https://brokenatom.io and platform is at https://dev.brokenatom.io.

We would love to hear any and all feedback possible and we promise to take it all in and improve our system to perfection.

Cheers,
Arun.
There's standard rules for car travel expenses, I don't see why not do the same for offices. People don't expense their Dodge Charger's gas bill, they expense standard reasonable fixed rate. Working from home isn't free, offloading all of the cost on employees seems like a use of employee resources without compensation. I'm not dying on that hill and it doesn't bother me at all to pay for it all myself, but it really strikes me as the same thing as use of personal car for business purpose == reimbursement. It's chomp change to me, but it's probably not for many people.
>Anyone with an ounce of understanding of hardware business models

This line is important, as there is a clear difference between Apple's high margin, high markup hardware business, vs consoles which tend to be sold at cost, or even at a loss.
I can see how the post could be interpreted that way. I've added an edit at the bottom to clarify that I'm not suggesting people actually use it as they main one.

It's one thing to fall for bullshit under the right conditions (like, you want to believe) and another thing to be unable to see the bullshit when a smart prosecutor lays it out for you in detail.
You realise I have no control over you right? I’m not trying to force you or anyone else in. My point was people should stop being so dogmatic about it. The majority of the comments on this post are a perfect example of that.
You also need knowledge and craft to get people in other countries' militaries to spy for you against their home country, yet this is done every day around the world. Compared to that (or compared to pretty much anything) FTX was a joke of an organization.
I would argue that people who potentially would like to pay for this are worth far less in terms of revenue for Meta than the rest. For instance, I use Facebook semi-regularly, mostly because I follow some people and also have a few Messenger chats open to the side, I ignore their advertising completely. Would I like Facebook ad-free? Yes. Would I pay for it? No. Would I, as a user, care if Meta declared bankruptcy tomorrow and ceased immediately? Certainly not.
I just don't like being bullshitted. Constant marketing about privacy while they're phoning home a bunch of data when you start and stop the browser. I did at some point find a doc page with a zillion steps to disable all of it but that doesn't remediate the hypocrisy IMHO.
> To do that would be breaking the magician's code, and apparently, you don't break the code.

Long-time magician here. The "don't break the code" thing is really just a fun fiction to maintain, mostly for kids. There are a variety of excellent reasons most magicians rarely reveal a trick.

1. It's no fun. Not only for the magician but, surprisingly, for the person you tell. This is because the method behind a trick is usually far, far less interesting and more mundane than the effect. People usually aren't happy or even really satisfied if you describe the method to them.

2. It's unproductive. Describing the method to a layperson enough to expose the trick usually doesn't put the person any closer to being able to do the trick. It especially won't put a novice any closer to even understanding why the trick works - which is actually the interesting and often quite subtle part.

3. It's boring. Truly understanding the principles behind why a particular trick that a performer has perfected to the point of working really well, in fact works so well, is usually not only complicated but complex. The "meta" behind magic is something non-magicians (and even some less experienced magicians) are completely unaware of. It's this hidden structure and deep theory that's actually the fun part. But learning what magicians call "the real work" behind an effect takes a significant amount of time. For example, I wanted to start getting into the deep work behind one card effect magicians call ACAAN. The plot is simple. A randomly named card appears at a randomly named number of cards down in a shuffled deck. The effect is over a hundred years old and there are well over a dozen books focused solely on it (I own several). There are hundreds of different "methods" which can be used to accomplish that one "effect". I can already do a serviceable ACAAN effect several different ways. Yet I went to an intensive three day workshop focused on teaching nothing but ACAAN. After those three days I now feel like I have a good start on really mastering the effect but I still have a long way to go - and honestly, now that I have insight into the deep work on ACAAN taught directly by one of the greatest living masters of ACAAN, I'm not sure I'm willing to put the level of work into it required to take my ACAAN to a level I'd enjoy performing.

Finally, far from being some kind of secretive fraternity, most magicians would be delighted to teach you how to create an effect yourself because many of us are worried magic is a dying art form. However, that requires someone interested enough to devote at least a couple hours to it. Even if you never perform what you learn, you'll get some understanding of how and why magic can be such fun to study and develop - and maybe get bitten by the bug. But if you just want a one sentence drive-by "quickie" exposure of one method of one effect - most magicians have learned the kindest thing we can do in response to such temporary and fleeting curiosity is a polite fiction about some "Magicians Code."
Ian Wilmut, embryologist who helped to produce Dolly the sheep (1944–2023)
I can second that. I published a Copperfield illusion analysis and got approached to take it down from other magicians (not Copperfield himself). I left it out there in the open. For me, trying to crack the puzzle is part of the fun and why I spend money seeing magic shows multiple times.

Did you read/skim the article because that's the focal point of the whole piece and discussions taking place in the videos. The whole thing is touting how easy the pros were able to slot this in and do their normal workflows on top.

> Is there actually a compelling reason to use an iPhone for this type of work over the various alternatives?

I'd guess cost is the big one, and the fact this will be in your pocket already for a lot of people.
I don't know how popular you would like, but ZSA has been around for quite a while. Their ErgoDox has been around for years, and they have other models as well. [0]

The Dygma Defy has also been making waves, it released not too long ago. [1]

The Keyboardio Model 100 has been out for a while, it pops up occasionally on eBay so can't be too unpopular if it shows up there. [2]

The MoErgo is probably less well known but has a good following both in the US and Europe. [3] Their Discord is pretty active.

> premium to kinesis for their garbage software

All the keyboards above are programmable, often with more than one option for programming. QMK is the common denominator and it isn't bad, but their are other options (Python, etc) and usually web-based configurators also.

...If you're willing to go with something that is too new to be popular, but has excellent ergonomics, programmable, and great customer support in US, I'd recommend Cyboard. [4] Currently waiting for mine to be shipped.

There are lots of options besides these. So you are correct split keyboards are not available at the local big-box store, but at the same time they are definitely more powerful, more comfortable, and more customizable as a class. They are out there and they have a following, just have to know how to get started.

I think that explains why they did this one at night and it had that same annoyingly dark look as modern streaming shows.

Yes, lights are still required.
