Ask HN: Have you taken a non-tech job to make ends meet?
I know a handful of people that have been unemployed for over 6 months. It could easily be any one of us here in this job market. I'm trying to take inventory of my options and get a sense of what it would be like.
A few years ago a few buddies and I made an Ethereum application called LayerOne. It was a game where players could buy and sell parcels of land. Kinda like Decentraland.

We got bought out and hired by a blockchain location company called XYO. We didn't interview at all. Well, I didn't. The rest of the team went to the company's HQ to sign paperwork. I happened to be on vacation at the time, so I had to call my boss while I was on vacation to give my two weeks.

A tenure-track professorship is faculty. So probably an assistant professorship.
But that's not true either.

Rural communities disproportionately receive more federal funds, than urban ones, e.g. 60% of the Universal Service Fund budget goes to high-cost, rural areas [0]

On a personal note, living in Texas has also given me a new perspective on rural subsidies, especially on education and civil engineering. I pay taxes through the nose, only for them to be recaptured by the state and invested further away. And more recently, my phone bill increased dramatically, precisely to replenish the USF, which should guarantee 4G/5G wireless access in more remote areas.

The ORM is OK as long as you refrain from using any inheritance. If you do, the database becomes a mess quickly and only that very Django app will be able to read and write to it (including manage.py shell). Anything else, other apps in any language or a SQL client, will be lost in a sea of tables and joins.

I've got a customer with two Django apps. One was developed enthusiastically in the object orientation way. The database is a nightmare. The other one was developed thinking table by table and creating models that mimic the tables we want to have. That's a database we can also deal with from other apps and tools.
I was talking about pay not perks. How much do FAANG/big-tech workers earn vs everyone else in the industry.

And maybe let's not victimize big-tech workers so much. Yeah, you have 17% chance of being laid off, but while you worked there you managed to save way more than people who work elsewhere.

And everyone gets treated as cattle. But big tech workers get treated like those premium beef freerange cattle that get massages and fetch 200 dollars per kilo VS everyone else that gets treated like a slaughterhouse cattle.
>I've used these services a time or two just to see what the fuss is about and I don't get it myself.

It's similar to fast food itself. convenient and cheap. these days the latter is falling off the wayside (again, just like modern fast food). It was invaluable during a pandemic to help encourage social distancing, but even if it was still cheap it was bound to fall off a bit (probably not to pre-pandemic levels, but no longer record customers).

>I wonder if perhaps they are so deep into a bubble of wealth and privilege that to them, spending $50 for a (cold by the time it arrives) burger seemed reasonable.

As others have mentioned, it's more a matter that VC's aren't necessarily looking to be the next big tech company. Many are looking for a profitable IPO and then move on to the next company. Lots of problems with enabling that model to begin with, but that's a whole other bucket of worms.

Sibling comments are mentioning undiagnosed ADD (or ADHD), I'd like to float the possibility of undiagnosed depression. The "I can't get disciplined and I'm desperate. It's hurting my job, it's hurting my home life." comment drives it home for me.

Has it always been this way for you? Do you also have problems focusing on things you enjoy?

I've experienced many of the symptoms you list for almost my entire life. I started seeing a therapist about 5 years ago and I've come to realize much of my "laziness" was actually depression. It's hard to be motivated to do the responsible things you need to do to live a life if you can't even be motivated to do fun things you actually enjoy.

You can't "fix" this alone - you're too close to the problem (and there is one, it's affecting your work and home life) to see what's wrong.

Some programmer wrote that statement in the code, wrote the function that was given a tip amount and a driver profile and reduced the tip amount to give the driver under certain circumstances. Someone cut that ticket, brought it up in a grooming session, people asked and answered questions about exactly when a driver's pay should be docked. Other devs probably approved the PR. I bet it even has a clear and concise comment explaining the math and the business purpose. I bet there's a unit test about "do_not_overpay_driver_with_tip". Jesus

I bet they all came onto HN and bitched about taxes and Unions after.
The flip and slide thing that electrical engineers do has always struck me as unintuitive; it makes more sense to think of it as a blurring operation.

Consider a function f: R^2 -> R (or Z^2 -> Z if you like) that represents a grayscale image. So f(0,0) is the pixel at the origin, f(1,0) is the pixel at (1,0), etc. Think of g: R^2 -> R as a blurring function, e.g. a gaussian.

What convolution does is it turns every pixel of f into a copy of the blur g, weighted by and centered on each pixel being blurred. So f(0,0) gets turned into a blurred image h(x,y) = f(0,0)g(x,y). f(1,0) gets turned into a blurred image h(x,y) = f(1,0)g(x-1,0). Note that the subtraction is just recentering g so the blur applies in the right position. In general, each pixel gets blurred into the function h(x,y) = f(a,b)g(x-a,y-b).

Now sum up all the blurred pixels, so you get the final image (f*g)(x,y) = integral_(a,b) f(a,b)g(x-a,y-b).

Same thing can be done in the time domain instead of a spatial domain, or you can write it in vector form, so (f*g)(x) = integral_(r) f(r)g(x-r).

Note that you can also write it in a more symmetric way as (f*g)(c) = integral_(a+b=c) f(a)g(b), which makes it clear that you can do this for any semigroup (you get the normal definition when you have a group by noting that b=c-a), makes commutativity obvious, and makes it clear why polynomial multiplication is convolution of coefficients: x^n comes from summing over all the x^i*x^j with i+j=n, so the coefficient for x^n is the sum over all coefficients indexed by i,j with i+j=n, which is the symmetric way to write convolution.

> The obvious issue is whether radio adds any value now that we can stream over the Internet, with unlimited channels

It has a lot of value for me. I don't have to subscribe to a streaming service, I don't have to have special equipment beyond the ubiquitous radio, it works in areas where there is no cell or internet service, etc.

Streaming has its place, but it has a different use case than radio.
I'm sure there are social factors both driving prep school graduates to run, and helping them stand out from the crowd. Outside of just family money.

I do wonder if "prep" schools are recruiting more of the socially outstanding non-rich students than in previous years. Even so this can only have so much of an effect, as non-prep schools will always have valedictorians and social organizers regardless of who's pulled out beforehand.

> When Mayor Mike Duggan talks about his accomplishments in Detroit, the list is both impressive and sad. He had the streetlights turned back on, and reopened closed parks. In the decade since he took office, the city has demolished some 25,000 blighted homes whose rusty debris and incubation of crime drag down neighborhoods.

> The progress would be even greater, the mayor argues, if the city hadn’t been smothered by speculation. In the years after the Great Recession, tens of thousands of Detroit properties were bought by absentee landlords and faceless LLCs. The owners are so negligent and hard to find that the city mows their lawns without asking.

My experience with Drive OAuth is sketchy Colab notebooks asking me to authenticate with Drive, but in such a way that I'm apparently granting access to everything inside of it.

This is extremely common and one of the core ideas of statistical process control[1].

Sometimes you have just the one process generating values that are sort of similarly distributed. That's a nice situation because it lets you use all sorts of statistical tools for planning, inferences, etc.

Then frequently what you have is really two or more interleaved processes masquerading as one. These distributions generate values that within each are sort of similarly distributed, but any analysis you do on the aggregate is going to be confused. Knowing the major components of the pretend-single process you're looking at puts you ahead of your competition -- always.

I had a close friend who did undergraduate research in a fisheries department.

They had been researching plant selection for aquaponics to increase the yield of tilapia. They had a filtration system that pushed tank water through a bed of plant roots. The plants would be harvested, processed into fish food, and fed back to the fish. On top of this platform, they'd experiment with different plant combinations to measure the impact on water quality and protein conversion.

They were seeing very high protein conversion with their plant choices (numbers high enough they gave me pause at what it would mean for society, but if I tried to throw out a number now I'd certainly get it wrong).

Recycling energy like this reduced the amount of food you'd have to put into the system, and the plants handled a good portion of the filtration for the system.

At some point, a large agriculture business with strong ties to the department offered a large grant that was understood to be contingent on this project being discontinued.

The project was abandoned and my buddy dropped out of his degree program.

There's probably a real business opportunity in selling a product that abstracts this plumbing into an SDK for developers, so they can give their users a polished flow for authenticating and configuring the storage on the frontend, and then interact with the user's chosen directory on the backend.

As a user, I would love this kind of integration because it means data portability is built into the product.

You don't think I care about user safety? To the contrary, I care deeply about it. I just don't believe that paternalism and infantilizing the public increases public safety; rather, I believe it creates the very conditions that make the public ripe to be exploited.

I wonder how valuable this is as a metric, since much of what gets viewed is a function of art as much as it is marketing, production, or other elements. Some years studios make movies that are just bad--I wouldn't necessarily expect the income distribution to remain balanced across years.

Furthermore, these graphs don't appear to take into account the production cost of movies. If a low-budget film garners critical acclaim, it means more than a studio movie that just broke even, although their gross incomes could be pretty similar.
You can demand error bars but they aren't always possible or meaningful. You can more or less "fudge" some sort of normally distributed IID error estimate onto any method, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Generating error bars (or generally error distributions) that actually describe the common sense idea of uncertainty can be quite theoretically and computationally demanding for a general nonlinear model even in the ideal cases. There are some good practical methods backed by theory like Monte Carlo Dropout, but the error bars generated for that aren't necessarily always the error you want either (MC DO estimates the uncertainty due to model weights but not say, due to poor training data). I'm a huge advocate for methods that natively incorporate uncertainty, but there are lots of model types that empirically produce very useful results but where it's not obvious how to produce/interpret useful estimates of uncertainty in any sort of efficient manner.

Another, separate, issue that is often neglected is the idea of calibrated model outputs, but that's its own rabbit hole.
