This is odd advice to me. Sure, you can save money by not buying the coffee, dining out but that money would never have you FIRE'd in any reasonable amount of time (certainly never would have worked for me).

The only way I got FIRE'd was by building a successful business as a solo person. I can't imagine doing it any other way...
> When is it ever advantageous to reject truths?

Of course it is. Trump is a living example of how advantageous it can be for someone to reject almost obvious, self evident truths.

That's an egregious example. Consider another example I saw raised by an anthropologist. It was a tribe that had only bows and spears being being overrun another tribe armed with modern weapons. They survived courtesy of their shaman convincing the young men some complicated ritual made them immune to the bullets. This gave them the courage to take the interlopers on, and a lot of them dying in the process. Obviously the young men who died weren't better off, but their relatives got to continue the young mens blood line as a consequence. The ritual was complicated enough to make it plausible the men killed got it wrong.

Sorry no link (it was here on HN). But if you google "origins of religion war immune to bullets" you will find numerous other examples, and of course the search term hints at a popular theory about why it's sometimes advantageous to reject truths.

Yeah my daughter used to stick out her index finger and wave it back and forth for finished.

One of my favourite memories of that was when we went to see the Vivid light show in Sydney and there was a contortionist on the street so we stopped to watch. I looked into the stroller and said "What do you think?" and she made the sign for "finished". So we moved on.
It was more about contrasting freedoms and rights. If you believe in a right, you also believe that other people should not be allowed to violate that right. In that sense, rights are always about limiting freedom.

There are no rights in the nature. There is only freedom. If you want to make something a right – going to the beach or launching a rocket, for example – you need to convince other people of that. And you need a mechanism for enforcing the right.
I gotta disagree there. The bigger the team is, the more important consensus building becomes -- and the more of a task it is.
I remember reading about Monsanto aggressively suing seed cleaning businesses off the face of the earth because "they encouraged farmers to save and replant seeds they are not allowed to use in such a way" because of contractual obligations, as you said.
No. I don’t know where this oft-repeated semiconductor meme came from, but it’s a really poor take.

ASML are solving a small subset of physics problems: how to project extremely small features. TSMC are solving many more physics problems: how to structure layers of doped silicon into transistors, how to structure those transistors into logic gates, and those logic gates into functional blocks. This is why silicon process is not just a matter of capital investment, and why nobody is going to show up overnight with 10 billion dollars and change things. It’s not that TSMC are the only ones with a big bag of cash to give ASML.
Part of my point though was that the bridge builder of today does not need to take into consideration that the person maintaining it 20 years from now will have to deal with gravity changing. So they can make certain assumptions that will be impossible for future maintainers to ever undo.

Software doesn't have these set-in-stone never-changing requirements. I think we are making similar points.

My point is that there are good reasons to believe that a hypothetical LLM that can pass a Turing test is a philosophical zombie, i.e. it can mimic human behavior but doesn't have an internal life, feelings, emotions, and isn't conscious. Whether that distinction is important is another question. LLMs provide evidence that consciousness may not be necessary to create sophisticated AIs that can pass or exceed human performance.

At larger orgs I've found engineering managers to basically just be localized HR representatives - there to handle disputes and escalate as needed. They also sometimes act as mediocre project/product managers as needed. Anyone who had any talent as an engineer was... still an engineer.
I found this surprising as well. Here's the actual report, which the Guardian did not think to link:

Yes, I like miso and soy sauce too. Salt + umami = yum. But the salt is the vital part for low carb eaters like me. The "keto flu" is no joke. I'm not even a keto person (not that strict) but I've had weakness, headaches, cramps, and heart palpitations when I had insufficient electrolytes. I don't want to repeat that!

> On large teams, it's about leveraging expertise and building consensus.

I think the opposite is true, it's about leading people, not getting everyone to compromise.

You share initial vision, take feedback, then share final vision and tell people "this is where we are going". Inevitably, some people will dislike it or not share in the vision. You meet with them and try to incorporate ideas that help achieve goals. If not, you help find them a new role that (hopefully) they'll enjoy.

IMO as a leader of any scale, your job is to mentor (or set up mentorship), set goals, layout reasons and help people feel pride in the accomplishment. It's not to hand hold or build consensus around the vision. Everything else is tactical and can be negotiated to an extent (timelines, implementations, etc), but should be largely delegated.

I thought about this more than I care to admit. Bottom line: I don't think it's worth it for most people to have a generator for camping.

For me:

- Generators are expensive. If you want to charge overnight, you're looking at 6.6kw continuous and for a honda that's at least $3500. Luckily harbor freight exists and maybe you can get away with $900 (srsly harbor freight is amazing)
- I already have a generator and my mostly propane-powered house can easily get by with a 4.3kw peak generator which would not be a great solution on the trail. At 3.5kw continuous... That's getting to be around 24 hours to get from 20% to 80% charging the truck
- Generators are hard to store. Especially if you're not using them regularly and you bought a second one just to take offroading.
- Generators are heavy, especially as you add more power. Sounds like a pain to load that thing up every time.
- I don't want to take the generator when my wife and son might need it at home. Admittedly this has never actually happened (I don't make a habit of leaving when storms are inbound), but it's a risk.

I'm curious to hear the counter perspective because I used to be extremely pro-Mars and recently some discussions by that article's author on HN have convinced me otherwise.

What benefits are there to sending humans to Mars? What do we hope to accomplish that couldn't be done better by a barrage of super advanced robots? Even NASA can't articulate a good reason.

It is estimated to cost $1-1.5 trillion to send 9 people on Mars, and upwards of $2 trillion for a minimally staffed base on an uninhabitable planet. That's just for keeping humans alive there, not even for doing serious science. NASA's budget is $25-33 billion per year. We'd be blowing the next 50 years of space dollars to get cool videos instead of sending countless probes to every planet in the solar system.

My main point is, wouldn't it be better to focus that amount of money and effort on developing technologies that allow humans to live on Earth sustainably? Where is the cult-like public support for spending unlimited amounts of money on preventing mass extinction on Earth, the only habitable planet in our solar system?

https://youtu.be/6TqhcZsxrPA?si=oa3yw8ONxKgtWDru

Maybe after we accomplish that we could think about making Mars a sustainable and habitable planet too?
One line in the piece says "Observing the direct effects of radiation, although possible, requires extraordinary circumstances.". While this is mostly true, you can actually observe radiation directly, with your own eyeballs, without any extraordinary methods. Basically all you need is a radioactive source, scintillator and a very dark room. That's how scintillation counting was done back in the day. This sort of device is called a Spinthariscope, you can find examples of them on youtube and what you see is a lot like the map in the OP. So I'd say the author did a good job.

Similarly anecdotal evidence is just not strong evidence, but it is still evidence. Anecdotal evidence from a lot of people is a dataset and from a wide variety of people is a good dataset. It's all about confidence levels. Consider likelihoods (different from probabilities) and just update your priors but never forget the confidence intervals. They're the most important part!

> I don't think a large group can pick a standard.

There are plenty of cases where this has happened. JSON has already become the defacto standard. It's not a the step to formalize a ubiquitous format has been taken many times. Every major platform supports it or uses it exclusively. Some frameworks and tooling, only uses JSON (true of other formats to an extent, ie json more than yaml).

> What works well for one programming language does not work for another,

I'm not sure why this roundabout whataboutism is compelling. A standard protocol is used in absence of other restrictions or benefits of another This doesn't snap away the other protocols from existence.
> So? Any other architecture that outperforms the M3 on both efficiency and power?

No that I know of.

But that wasn't disputing that. I was commenting on your speculation the open source community would flee to a closed source operating system because the M3 currently reins supreme. I doubt they will. I also doubt M gap will Apple's engineers created will be a long term thing.
I at first had the opposite reaction, which is that I spend a ton of time fighting inverted ifs! But my reaction is not incompatible with yours. It's not, but it is related: I HATE reading:

if (!someCondition) {
// short amount of code
} else {
// longer happy path
}

The contextual overhead of having to invert a negative (i.e. !!someCondition) is just annoying.

I do agree that if (happy) { /* tons of code / } else { / I forgot how we got here */ } can also be an issue.

I've built a full blogging system like Carrd / linktree on top of Notion and it's so refreshingly easy.

The only downside is their native JS API is so darn slow — sometimes easily 30s wait, so I have to create another cache layer on top of it with Cloudflare KV, which isn't ideal. How are you dealing with that aspect?
I agrée with them and with you. It looks like they work in some poor language that doesn’t allow overloading. Their example of `frobnicate`ing an optional being bad made me think: why not both? `void frobnicate(Foo&); void frobnicate(std::optional<Foo>& foo) { if (foo.has_value()) { frobnicate(foo); } }`. Now you can frobnicate `Foo`s and optional ones!
Ask HN: Manhattan Project for Climate?
We are close enough to reaching consensus that humanity faces severe risks from climate change, such that we need to do something about it.

It also seems pretty clear that the only desirable solution is to use technology to reduce the current level of carbon in the atmosphere while at the same time increasing consumption of energy from current levels, vs. shrinking the population or asking individual people to change their behavior.

Five mass scale solutions include:

- Incorporating nuclear fission into the power grid at mass scale
- Inventing and incorporating nuclear fusion into the power grid at mass scale
- Inventing direct carbon capture technologies and using them to replace hydrocarbon extraction at mass scale
- Continually improving battery technologies to improve efficiency and reduce materials
- Continuing the roll out of renewables like solar and wind, where it makes sense

These are all hard technological challenges the types of which should excite the best and the brightest, as opposed to being shot down as difficult for this reason or that.

While there are already good people working hard on each of these solutions, there is no big global government sponsored push to solve them within a specific ambitious timeframe.

The type of program that gets ordinary people excited, brings people together and attracts the best minds to the problem.

Think moon landing or Manhattan Project.

I believe we can do it, and we will achieve all of the above technological solutions. I am trying to understand why we are wasting so much time in getting there. I believe that if humanity can do it by 2100 with no big push, then we can do it by 2050 by making it a priority.

Why is this so and how do we speed it up?

In other words, being able to live with a condition is not the same as the condition being debilitating.

A lot of mental illnesses go unnoticed by others because they're often very easy to hide (and you're encouraged to hide them). Thinking that you can't be in the top 5% of earners and are just doing "speed for fun" is like thinking you can't be suicidally depressed just because you are a comedian. Hell, most people were surprised by Anthony Bourdain despite him being open about his depression. What you see is not reality, so don't be quick to judge. You'd be surprised how many peoples mental states are a house of cards but look like they're living in the finest of mansions.

Seriously, comments like the GPs are not only bad takes, but actively harmful. It perpetuates the belief that people should hide rather than seek help. The big issue with mental illnesses is that they are typically extreme versions of normal behavior and we often paint them as unrealistically extreme and constant. They're highly variable and the most common thing to happen is people only seek help when they're in the spiraling states, where they are incapable of getting that help, but will not seek it out when they've normalized.

Plus, you don't know if they're in that top 5% post medication and would not have been prior. You don't have the counterfactual power to make such judgements.
“It’s not about you”

And yet every part about most people’s ascendency up the management ladder reinforces that it is. The pay usually goes up. An increase in attention from the outside goes up. You are held responsible. The process usually is mired in some show of “selection” where you the individual are rendered “distinct” from your peers (of course, there’s a dark pattern that as the least competent/influential member of the ranks at hand, you are put in a place where you do less damage to the actual “value creation” pipeline). It’s not like you and your peers drew straws, and you took the noble sacrificial road of collegiate duty, taking the low road so others could remain on the high. Even if you strive for some form of equanimity in the greater effort, self titling yourself “manatary” or “secrager”, those that work for you, or you work for, or whatever, will treat you differently than peers, practicing various forms of signaling to advance their own status.

Read the article. Nice principles. But seemed pretty idealistic/naive when refracted off of my experience in most corporate cultures.
