The government should be directly provisioning natural monopolies like utilities. There is absolutely no sense leaving it to the private sector (though of course the private sector shouldn't be prohibited from providing a private option as well). Private enterprise only works when there can be meaningful competition through low barriers to market entry.
When I lived in China years ago, I had a Chinese/local girlfriend whose brother-in-law owned a factory that "manufactured" small mechanical parts, like bolts, screws, springs, wire - stuff like that. She said that all the manufacturing was actually done in North Korea. The "factory" that he owned in China was all for show. He always knew when inspectors were coming, days in advance, and so he'd hire a few locals for a day to stand next to machines they had no idea how to use. It was all for show. She went on to tell me that her brother-in-law's factory was not unique. Manufacturers like her brother-in-law were usually 3 or 4 distribution companies removed from the big manufacturers, like the ones that made iPhones, but they all used parts from him, so inspections were extremely rare anyway.

Ask HN: What do I do with my side projects?
I’m trying to decide what I should do with my side projects as I find a job related to my degree. I could release some of them as open source and ask for donations, or release them as closed source and sell a license. I have invested a lot of time into them and am hoping to make at least a little revenue from them.

Even if I don’t make any revenue, I think they will help me stand out in the job market. I think some of them would be a better fit for open source than others. Most of them would probably be more useful to power users than general users. I would be a little upset with myself if I give them away and get nothing when there is a chance to make some income.

Either way, I’ve heard that marketing is important. Now that they are mostly done, this will probably be what I work on next. For some advice, I've been in contact with a successful independent developer. They attribute their success to hard work, and a large portion to luck and timing.

If you also have any personal experience with side projects you can share that might relate to my situation I would appreciate it. Did you release the project as open source or closed? What went well? What mistakes did you make? Etc.

Some more background information for those interested. There are a few bigger projects that I have worked on. The first is a goal management app with a focus on habit creation that uses the Beeminder API. The next is a tool to help learn more advanced keyboard shortcuts. A couple are related to window management and window switching, sort of an alt tab enhancement. One is educational content for having a better relationship with your screen based devices.

I graduated from college close to four years ago. After I graduated I was struggling to find a job related to my degree (Applied Computing Technology) so I took on a job to get by and I started to work on my side projects more. Before I knew I it I was working on them a lot. It has gotten to the point where I have finished most the major work on them. I want to do something with at least a couple of them as I get more serious about applying for jobs related to my degree again.

Hold on, why even have IgE antibodies then?

Edit: >Several lines of evidence suggest that IgE is important in host defense against parasites (see Section 9-23). Many parasites invade their hosts by secreting proteolytic enzymes that break down connective tissue and allow the parasite access to host tissues, and it has been proposed that these enzymes are particularly active at promoting TH2 responses. This idea receives some support from the many examples of allergens that are enzymes.

I'm convinced that "Sky" (one of the voice options for ChatGPT) is Rashida Jones, but ChatGPT won't cop to it.
I agree, but to be fair... you can't call it socialism. NK has been a dictatorship for literally generations. Even SK has only been democratic for a relatively short time. Just because they put democratic or socialist or even communist in their name doesn't make them so.
IIRC, MABs aren't really a thing, because unlike small molecules, part of the approval is for the whole biological pipeline to produce the antibodies, from cell line to chromatography to formulation. When a small molecule goes off patent, you just have to prove to the FDA you can make that molecule to sufficient purity.

That's not to say there are no generic MABs, it's that it is a far costlier process for the generic manufacturers to get up and running.

I'm a little rusty when it comes to statistical analysis, but is 168 total participants ranging from 1 to 56 years old really enough for any meaningful level of statistical significance?

Sure the efficacy rates seem really promising here, but that's an extremely small group and if there are any concerns over age-based factors the cohorts are even smaller.

Add the fact that this medication is meant for long term use and I really don't know how we can claim any level of certainty with regards to long term safety. The study only followed the 168 participants (including placebos) for 16-20 weeks.
That makes a lot of sense. Would seem quite important for people involved in conflict to have time to decompress with others who can relate instead of just being plopped back into normal everyday life unadjusted.
Like many, I was a big fan of ggplot2 from R, so coming into Python, I've always been searching for an equivalent graphical library. I used to be put off by Altair's famous

MaxRowsError: The number of rows in your dataset is greater than the maximum allowed (5000).

but ever since the Vegafusion companion library came unto the scene, I'm back using Altair.

Overall, it's my preferred Python viz library although I do wish there was a better way for the Python library to better use introspection. After all, rather than

alt.Chart(df).mark_line.encode(x="abc:Q")

to provide the information that abc is a quantitative variable, I'd much rather the library be able to introspect the df object, column abc to derive the data type and make the inference the column is quantitative.

That said, I'm already used to the extra syntax so still feel confident in using this library daily.

Surprised they didn't call out box-breathing. It works for me.

It's so simple:

1. inhale 4 seconds.

2. hold breath for 4 seconds.

3. exhale 4 seconds.

4. hold breath for 4 seconds.

I do this when I encounter any stressful situation (like public speaking, etc.). It seems to work for me.

So what?

The user must be responsible in the model's usage, or else some law will apply. The company is not liable for misuse.

And for things like "repeating bugs", maybe the model won't do that anymore if we focus on making it more capable and smart? I believe OpenAI stated that the guard rails in GPT-4 made the "sparks of AGI" phenomenon disappear. That's just bizarre reasoning for these companies, in my opinion.
It's a 16 to 20 week course of treatment and reduces risk of anaphylaxis for accidental exposure to food allergens. There is at least one other drug that is used to treat peanut allergies, but this treats multiple food allergies.

Given that anaphylaxis can be deadly and staff at food places can be sometimes less than reliable about food allergy concerns, I can see this being appealing to someone with severe food allergies who wants a more normal life.

It would be nice if we figured out what causes allergies and fixed it but, I mean, we may never fully solve that. For some people, "take injections for a few weeks and be able to go out with friends without stressing this will involve another life-threatening health event and trip to the ER" will be of adequate value to endure the course of treatment.
I do completely agree - the main problem I had was that, I tried doing this whilst writing the blog post side-by-side and was aware that the more complex it became, the harder it would be to show it. If I'd use separate files for the HCL then I'd need to show them both (and I think adding a little bit of cognitive complexity to read). So then adding templates etc, would increase that more.

I know for the "creating a server", I just used a module, but all it's meant to say is "I created a machine" and how I did that probably wasn't that important (apart maybe any tiny fragments of useful information with the variables), so I left it as a module. Same with the nomad setup - but at the same time, for what I was trying to achieve, running `nomad agent -dev` would have sufficed, so was somewhat happy with skipping it and showing the module call as "nomad was setup".

So for the remainder, I tried to prefer simplicity and readability, rather than "this is the best way to write Terraform and dynamic modules".

But, I completely agree with you :) Given the nature of the project it's in the pipeline for - I can certainly saying that I like a good Terraform module ;)

If you wouldn't advocate banning deadbolt locks just because vault doors are better, why advocate banning SMS 2FA?
So hard to believe that this is so complicated. People’s lives and health. I wish it was easier.
This is the most annoying thing about 2FA apps. I once dropped my phone and broke it. It wasn't in a repairable state. Lost access to multiple accounts due to losing 2FA apps. Sometimes, I think security people make them unnecessarily complex just for the sake of it. Not all services need 2FA. And SMS is fine for most of the things.

Just for fun, here's the famous pic of Gates and Allen using what looks like a Teletype Model 33 [1], and of course Ritchie and Thompson in front of a PDP-11 [2].

For years (decades!) I never understood the purpose of line editors and why VI was such an improvement. Until one day I saw the pic of Gates and Allen and suddenly realized why, and how it worked. You already had a printout of your code (or text) in front of you. If you wanted to edit the text, you used a line editor to rewrite the line it was on. After a while you could print the whole thing again if you needed.

And this is why my TRS-80's BASIC editor worked the same way. It was just like the original time-share version from Dartmouth ported to a microcomputer.

I always thought German bureaucracy is the worst in the world. But apparently it’s not.
Yep, you got the gist in the ninja edit.

The IgE-parasite connection is actually a bit part of the hygiene hypothesis, and I have personal experience with helminth therapy. It put a serious permanent dent in my animal and pollen allergies, long after the session (I forget how long they were active but I re-inocculated N. americanus twice and it was roughly a 2-3 year period).

Once you get over the squick factor and the really terrible itching at the site that lasts 12-24h, it's great.
> I'm curious as to what laws you think would help? Ban all software written in Canada? Ban American companies from paying foreign companies?

Making it less economically favorable when transferring value for offshored labor. Laws are just words, you can make them do many things. You can even sanction entire nation states with them. Determine the desired outcome, construct policy, observe, iterate. It is statute as a PID feedback loop.

> And how do you argue against foreign work when unemployment is pretty much as low as it has ever been?

Labor isn't fungible (service sector and healthcare jobs are very in demand, tech and similar white collar work is cooling), and I don't support corporations offshoring to put downward pressure on wages for management and shareholder returns. Even with unemployment being low, wages must be pushed higher (based on observing macro US household financial conditions and stress). If you want access to the market, you can employ in the market. People worry about AI paperclip maximizers when that is already what corporations and those who run them are. Under 30 cohort is very pro labor rights (obviously, how could you not considering current state), lots of control is still in the hands of 55+ cohort (Congressional demographics, corporate leadership, ~5 minutes in your favorite search engine will confirm), so progress is a function of the rate at which those folks age out (~5k per day, ~1.8M/year).

This isn't a labor participation rate issue; this is a how labor is valued issue.

Excellent source for PID heuristics. That being said PID control is >100 years old concept and we have done tremendous theoretical progress since then and we have access to fast numerical solvers for constrained optimization.

It went from like 6% to 68%, so yeah it’s statistically significant even at low numbers like 168.
yeah, and of course you normally want as much as possible of your software to be easily fixable by junior interns in any case; that's always better when there's no compensating drawback

the implicit premise of your comment, however, seems to be that no such compensating drawback is possible, presumably because internal-use-only software isn't a competitive advantage. there are a lot of companies that think that way, but i think it's shortsighted; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39402299 for some examples of companies that discovered that it mattered a lot how good their internal-use-only software was

Don't they first need to get along with their neighbors to the South?
Don't be annoyed — my comment was not focused just on cost. The point is that it's very expensive and also not that good. I have food allergies in my family and have talked with other families that are ostensibly in the key demographic. We are not impressed. I wouldn't complain about a drug that was a silver bullet, but was quite expensive.
I imagine A&E probably can feel like a warzone at times. No doubt there are also other high stakes jobs (being a firefighter?) whom we all rely on so we can enjoy the privilege of not leading such stressful lives.

Just like with space exploration - it's good for the secondary benefits of observing humans at the limits to filter back to everyday life. In this case stress management
I had a boring class in junior high school where we had to write down everything the teacher said.

> staff at food places can be sometimes less than reliable about food allergy concerns

As someone with Celiac disease, who often eats at restaurants, this is a bit of an understatement. Even in restaurants where things are marked allergen free on the menu, it is often the case that staff will make mistakes. More often than not, staff aren't even informed about the basics of food, things like eggs and dairy being two separate foods, or that they can't just scrape some sauce off of a bun if they put it there by mistake, etc. If I had a life threatening allergy, I would never set foot in a restaurant. It's terrifying.
Yes, more tokens means doing more compute, that much is true. The question is whether this extra compute helps or hurts. This question is yet to be answered, as far as I know. I tend to make my GPT-4 questions quite verbose, hoping it helps.

This is completely orthogonal to CoT, which is simply a better prompt - it probably causes some sort of better pattern matching (again very poorly understood).
You can be a leader in a large organization without managing anyone.

And when overseeing a group of people in static but important cookie cutter functional roles, you can be a great manager of people, without taking them anywhere new.

Those are the extremes, but there are two poles. Even if most influential people in an organization have varying degrees of responsibility and talent for each.
