Standing desk first - since that's quick - just spend money

Then realized also way out of shape

* Did some yoga to help with back pain
* Jogged to lose weight
* Added basic exercise program for overall strengthening

(super simple - got 7 minute workout app and then added pushups/situps and very basic barbell routine)

I think the best thing is keep it very simple and add one thing at a time and give your body some space to adjust

I mean I'm not an athlete by any means but just basic 30-45 min a day of simple exercise does wonders

I see what you mean about Google's greed. But to be perfectly honoust there is some greed on our behalf as well.

The "contract" with YouTube being: don't pay us in $$$, give us your privacy — by attempting to use without revealing our privacy gold we're somewhat free loading, being greedy. It would be better to reject the "contract" and find different ways to access the content without relying on Google's "free" distribution infrastructure. There are alternatives (like https://peertube.tv/)

It's a sad content distribution and discoverability (especially video) has become so centralized.
Startups are not the one and be all goal of everyone's life. It is the goal of Theil's investments.
The same arguments hold on old time-sharing systems. Setting up you limits in such a way that you can use excess capacity when available is very well suited (now and back then) for batch workloads. Scheduler priorities are a way to mix batch and interactive workloads.

When you're not latency sensitive but aiming at optimizing throughput you can achieve a pretty good utilization of the underlying resource. This is what resource<limit setting in k8s is good for: batch workload.

Batch workload still exists and it's important but the proportion of batch vs latency sensitive workload shifted significantly from the 70s to internet age. Request handlers that power that sit in the critical path for the user experience of a web or mobile app are not only latency sensitive but also _tail_ latency sensitive.

Tail latency often poses significant problems because stragglers can often determine the total duration of the interaction as perceived by the user, even if only one straggler request suffers from slowdowns.

While there are tricks to deal with tail latency while also improving utilization (i.e. reducing waste) they are hard to implement in practice and/or don't generalize well across workloads.

One thing always works and is your best option as a starting point: stop worrying about idle CPU in an _average_ usage metric. The behaviour during CPU usage spikes (even spikes that are shorter than your scraping period of your favourite monitoring tool!) determine latency envelope of your service. Measure how much CPU you need during those and plan accordingly.

Ideally it should be possible to some low priority (batch) process use that idle CPU, but AFAIK that's not currently possible with k8s.

EDIT: forgot to mention that all this discussion matters only inasmuch you have strict latency targets. If you're ok to occasionally have very slow requests and your customers are ok with that and your bosses don't freak out because they spoke to that one customer that is very angry that their requests time out a few times every month ... I'm very happy for you! Not everybody has these requirements and you can go pretty far with a production system consisting of a couple of VM on AWS without k8s, containers, cgroups or whatever in the picture. I know people who do and it works just fine for them. But in order to understand what the fuss about all of this we need to frame this discussion as pertaining to batch vs controlled-latency. Otherwise it's hard to explain why there are so many otherwise intelligent people making choices that appear to be a bit silly, isn't it? Sure, there are people who are "just wrong" on the internet :-) but more often than not if somebody ends up with a different solution is because they have different goals and tradeoffs.
Same here. Any idea where we can get the JetBrains preview?

Cheap marketing for openai’s chat bot.
They're also not that much bigger - Rhodes is perhaps 2x larger when you restrict it to the anglosphere. And it naturally doesn't include the investment money you're basically certain to also get from Thiel alongside the $100k award.
Well, then Thiel is definitely more effective than SoftBank, but that still doesn’t say much about colleges.
Perhaps the issue is that universities in the 20th-21st centuries have been trying to do two things at once, and are doing both of them badly: one, they are supposed to reproduce elite western culture (whoops), and two, they are supposed to be preprofessional finishing programs for doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, professors, and business executives. They do not do the first properly (and since the 1960s cannot even agree on what it means), and they mostly fob off the second to graduate schools and corporate training programs. So, the substance of the preprofessional training has devolved into an empty pile of credits that cost far too much money and time.

At each stage in the chain, the schools blame the lower schools for failing to prepare students properly, and use that as an excuse to dilute standards further, which then causes more problems for the next stage in the chain. This has reached something close to its end point now. They can only reduce standards so much more now until all students are illiterates grunting prompts into chatbots.

As to the first role, for example, the Byzantines in their universities focused on reproducing some combination of Christian orthodoxy and the Greco-Roman heritage of philosophy and history. They just taught the same curriculum over and over and over again without much modification (albeit with a lot of lurching back and forth between iconoclasm and anti-iconoclasm) for roughly a millennium. Since the 60s, the permanent cultural revolution makes it so that every micro generation of professors has a new revolutionary program that it imposes, which is then followed by a new revolutionary program against the old revolution and so on and so forth. Universities are fundamentally conservative (with a small c), which has generated a very funny situation in which they have become totally dedicated to conserving the institution of permanent cultural revolution without any content. They have become dedicated to the procedure of cultural revolution, but no one can agree on the substance and content of that revolution.

Many Developers Get Refactoring Wrong
If that's the case, why would they even take the 100k?
Seems the author found out a way to share screen with chatgpt.

I'm guessing probably, it's just sending a screenshot of the screen right after the voice input finished (there are easy ways to recognize pauses) and sending that to the multimodal version of gpt-4, the one which is able to work with image data.

ChatGPT properly recognizes context of the task: that's the typical newly created document in the 3d software Blender. Since it starts out with a box, the user wanted to shape it into a sphere. ChatGPT provides him with a list of operations: change the selection mode to vertices, select them all and apply a bevel function, which in effect, will cause a lousy spherelike object to be created.
> If it’s really just Thiel’s network then is the right move to make him the president of Harvard since that will have a greater reach?

> I've definitely seen "DDoS" used when there was no malice, such as when a developer accidentally releases a client that generates way more traffic than it was supposed to. Probably because we don't seem to have a good term for "event that at the server looks exactly like a malicious DDoS attack but was actually due to a mistake or to the server becoming unexpectedly popular" :-).

This is a problem with the service, not with the developer.

If the service (doesn't want) / (can't handle) something, then it should rate limit it's response.

If the service can't handle "0.2%" of it's clients making a 'not unreasonable' amount of requests, how will the service hold up against a hostile actor who aims to DDOS their service.

I found myself in a similar position (unemployed) after I left my cozy (but soul-sucking) corporate job last year and [disclosure: ] I built a somewhat similar tool but I decided against automating the application process.

Instead of focusing on quantity - number of applications - I decided to focus on quality - better resumes that emphasise the candidates skills that align with the job ad.

And instead of applying to all job ads, my service analyses a candidates resume and finds positions that closely match the candidate experience.

I believe this narrative really misses the point. It's not about revenge or "tit for tat", where Hamas killed X people so Israel gets to kill X people back. That would be immoral, no matter what - I don't think any civilian death is justified as an act of revenge.

But that's not the situation. Hamas is the controlling government of Gaza, it effectively invaded Israel, killed (horrifically) many other civilians, and has been continuing to bomb Israel for a month. (Their bombing of Israel is very ineffective, because Israel spent a lot of time and money into developing systems to counter the rockets they shoot, but they're trying to continually bomb civilian cities).

So this isn't a "they did some terrorism so Israel will kill some of them" situation. This is a "a foreign government showed they are more powerful than you thought, and have effectively declared war on you" situation. In war, you use whatever means you can to stop your enemy.

What makes things even worse, and makes Hamas's crimes even bigger, is that they are supposed to help and protect the Gazans they "represent", and yet they are using them as human shields and sacrficing them. So they not only committed crimes against Israel, they are committing crimes against their own people.

That is the situation. Israel has no good options here. It's a war, which is horrible and brutal, but was thrust upon Israel (and the Gazans) by Hamas - as their leaders openly say. And right now, almost all of Israel is united in agreeing on one thing - Hamas must therefore be destroyed. I honestly don't see any other stance to take, and it is entirely morally appropriate to destroy Hamas.

(None of this is to say the situation doesn't have a long history, or that Israel has behaved well over the years - it really hasn't, and there's plenty of blame to lay at Israel's feet. But that doesn't mean what it's doing now is unjustified - it's not.)

ASML is capable of deciding for itself whether it's risky from an IP perspective to sell to company X or Y. It's not ASML that is asking for these export controls. In fact, ASML executives have been warning that these export controls will spur Chinese investment in indigenous chip-making equipment providers, threatening ASML's business over the long term.

Yeah. Another obvious point of comparison would be Ycombinator (or more specifically early Ycombinator when it took fewer startups with traction and more recent grads the YC partners really liked even if their ideas weren't fully formed)

In comparison to that, Thiel's success rate looks a bit more ordinary.

Rhodes scholarships etc on the other hand are a fair bit more successful at generating academics and researchers and mid level managers from backgrounds that don't usually become mid level managers, because that's what they're for

At least there’s a hope the person doing it has conscience and does a good job, vetting the data, etc. They could use tech but in the end it’s a human’s decision over an algo. Casual mistakes are okay as long as they’re not embedded in an algo that applies the same mistakes over and over.
umm.. it is both question 70 and 70%.

It really does seem that plain of a truth to me, too. What % of Rhodes scholars enter with dreams of founding a “unicorn”? Probably a negligible fraction of that same % of Thiel fellows, which I’d imagine is ~100%. That the non-Thiel group then goes own to found a negligible fraction of those companies isn’t awkward for colleges; it’s a reflection of the different values held by members of our society.

Meanwhile, whose interests are served by future unicorn founders being plucked away from the liberal arts, or from the connections and experiences they would’ve had in college with people very unlike Peter Thiel?

> Socialization is important.

Yes.

Yes.

see how easy it was to write it without asserting falsehoods about neurons, and without drawing unsupported conclusions from said falsehood?

A metaphor can be faulty even if the conclusion it purports to end up with is true. And if we can do away without the obscuring metaphor (as you did in this very comment I'm responding to) then we should.
Worth noting that you can also run the original qbasic in dosbox.

That's handy if you want to run old qbasic code, since typically that code expects to be able to poke hardware registers to do anything beyond what the built in bits of basic can do (for example, adding mouse support or playing sounds beyond beeps).

Ask HN: In-House vs. Outsourcing
I wonder why Japanese's software industry is so underwhelmingly incompetent. Like their bank apps have never been polished, websites are slow and require redundant click s, games are low fps, still not able to auto convert full-width text to half-width, gov websites use image as clickable button instead of hyperlink text, etc.

I don't know how other countries are but Japan seems to rely heavily on outsourcing, and big companies only hire project manager without any programmers. I am thinking this might be the cause.

Scalable and Transferable Black-Box Jailbreaks for LLMs via Persona Modulation
Has anyone else noticed how the articles for certain topics are written in a different style from how they once were? For example while reading about the Russian Civil War I came upon the article for the "Jewish Bolshevism" conspiracy theory, which was in vogue amongst the White movement. The current article now says explicitly that it is false, whereas older versions (pre-2018) just described what the theory was. I also see this a lot on political articles, you will now read "x falsely claimed y" or "x falsely accused y". The same articles written in the old style, if they exist, always omit the "falsely", they never make a truth judgement within the article body. I for one do not appreciate being preached to in such an awkward and heavy handed way especially in politically fraught and controversial topics where the basis of this judgement is often nothing better than a news report. As for the conspiracy theories, Wikipedia is feigning knowledge and authority it does not possess, as it is in fact more difficult and often impossible to disprove such theories than it would be to do the contrary. I often find that Encyclopaedia Britannica handles these topics more elegantly, they simply say what it is and leave it at that.

I didn't get it from the article, even through it was written by the artificial intelligence editor, did the algorithm use some machine learning something technique or is it a manually programmed calculator?

Oh no. It may be the height. Mexico city is 2,240 meters over sea level. Might be hard for a heart that is not used to it.

She came from a small city at 1,600 mt, my grand father had died just 6 days before after a long struggle with cancer.
