Ask HN: Career Advice for a Struggling Dev
Posting this as a kind of SOS last resort, to see if anyone can relate or offer any career advice or words of some kind to a struggling dev

I'm about to "give up" on my goal/dream of having a career as a software engineer (indefinitely)

I've been out of work for 3.5 years (Covid end of 2020). I was struggling in the office, but everything going remote was too much for me and I hit a breaking point

I've spent the past almost 2 years trying to get back to working shape. I've tried so many things: open source, freelancing, starting my own coworking discord, timers, schedules, systems which emphasize randomness, pomodoros, side projects, going back to my roots and passion for programming. Basically trying to "figure it out" and gain enough confidence to convince me that I can "do it" full time

I'll say what it feels like is going on is this: when I sit down in front of a computer alone to do work, I experience a level of anxiety that is intolerable and makes it impossible to work productively

I'm about to "give up" and go apply to McDonald's. McDonald's is appealing because it's a fast paced environment. I'm constantly surrounded by people, constantly moving my body around, constantly monitoring/keeping track of lots of stuff. It seems like as long as I'm constantly stimulated in this way with lots of variety and I can apply my OCD-like self-monitoring to my environment, I can do that

One of the most solid things I've noticed these past two years (and looking back at my last job) is when I have someone with me, I can work fine. At my last job when my coworkers were sitting RIGHT next to me, I was fine. But if I have to work alone, then that's when I lose the ability to work

At my last job, I excelled most with monitoring-type stuff, like building dashboards to monitor systems. When stuff broke, I would quite enjoy debugging in kibana (very stimulating process). I enjoyed times of general chaos when our systems broke. But when things settle back down to normal and I have to code and proactively build features, I procrastinate and go downhill

It doesn't just feel like software engineering is intractable. It generally feels any kind of knowledge type work where I imagine myself in some "back office" alone, away from everyone else which feels impossible

In college, I was a great student with all the structure of classes when there were definite deadlines and lots of structure, things kept moving forward. I really struggled with open-ended projects

Anyway, just posting this on the off chance that someone else has gone through something similar and can provide some advice, words of comfort, anything

> I'm skeptical of the idea that some repairs are meant to be performed only by "experts" and that nobody should ever try to learn how to make them.

That is a very dangerous point of view. Many things really are too dangerous and require too much expertise for you to do. That's how and why expertise exists - it's required to accomplish certain tasks. Not everything - not nearly everything - can be done by amatuers.

It's dangerous to you and also to people around you. The flaming lithium ion cell can kill lots of other people, or leave them in horrible pain and permanently disfigured with burns, or destroy lifetimes of memory and property.

What will you tell them? 'I thought I could do it'? Why did you try when everyone told you it was too dangerous? '...'

> there is a manufacturing process that: welds cells together to make banks, and that sometimes produces a runaway reaction inside the cells. Given that that's the case, it should be entirely possible to do that safely in a controlled environment inside of a garage.

Not unless you have millions of dollars invested in design (by experts trained and experienced in designing such facilities), equipment, and construction for your garage. And it's not near any neighbors - they don't put those factories in residential neighborhoods.
I wish, it'll cost a million dollars or more to test at this scale and it would still be one data point. Instead I simulated these systems to test the physics.

But please, come help me do this test in real life, it will be fun!

This whole legislation probably wouldn't exist if Apple wasn't so greedy and manipulative for all these years. Apple has been bundling real security with brazen anti-competive behaviors, pretending they're all or nothing.

If you don't want to be overcharged 10x for payments, the only option is fraud and malware (as opposed to processing payments at a market rate, or allowing vetted payment providers, having APIs for external subscriptions integrating with iOS's subscription management, etc.).

Sandboxing and app reviews for malware are great, but Apple bundled them with rejecting apps for competing with Apple ("duplicating" their functionality), mentioning competitors' names, lower prices elsewhere, or showing nipples anywhere (nipples can't hack your iPhone). They've been intentionally blurring the line between what they select as appropriate for their boutique child-friendly store, and what users have right to do with devices they thought they own.
But when programming in assembly you're still beholden to the CPU designers in regards to out of order execution and branch prediction and all those fancy layers taking runtime control away from you. Better to just print your own silicon.

> The thing that immediately jumped into my head is coded military use. Especially since they mention the printer being based on a military design.

a significant portion of the funding for the shuttle came from the USAF, and one of its capabilities (to capture and return a large satellite) was a USAF requirement. They even went as far as building an entire launch pad for it at Vandenberg, which came very close to being used.
I think (and I am no expert here, so correct me if I am wrong) that, when it comes to actually written programs, there is little difference between “actually infinite” and “practically infinite”. This is like saying the probability of any particular real number being given by a float is zero because floats are only countable infinite (practically) rather than uncountable infinite. I don’t know, maybe I am talking out of my ass, tho lol

> Put this way, isn't it almost begging the question? In GR the definition of acceleration is movement in contrast with the movement of gravity.

No, it isn't. You have it backwards. The definition of acceleration in GR is proper acceleration, i.e., what an accelerometer reads. The "movement" property is then a consequence of this plus picking an appropriate frame of reference.

> If instead we had a universe where instead of all matter having a gravitational effect, it was that all matter had a magnetic effect the we'd see no acceleration due to the magnetic effect

Yes, you would, because unlike gravity, magnetism does not obey the equivalence principle, so differently charged objects in the same magnetic field with the same initial conditions can have different motions. With gravity, all objects in the same field with the same initial conditions have the same motion, regardless of their mass. That is why it is possible to model gravity using spacetime curvature, and that property is unique to gravity.

Chip fabs is just one of ‘many processes’ which was what I was replying to. It’s practically irrelevant if even 99% of all processes have this characteristic. There’s way more than enough remaining to occupy all available people who could actually speed up large complex projects by 10x.

Of course if they were somehow disproportionately forced to only ever work on chip fabs for the rest of their lives, then that would create huge waste, but this doesn’t seem likely.

If you train a language model on a factual dataset, it will still hallucinate.
Generally true, although some species need way more attention than others. And 'way more' can often mean full time attention whenever they aren't sleeping.

I had an Amazon parrot that needed less attention than an African Gray or a Cockatoo.

I'd still not recommend as a pet given that their lifespans are so long. It's a decades long commitment and they may even outlast you, in which case you need to figure out what's going to happen to them.
Probably just trying to frighten or intimidate. Someone else could easily have been fooled into thinking they needed papers. The guy could've berated them into tears. Probably just about all he was attempting to do.
Yes and:

Record corporate profits while wages stagnated. Coincidence?

Is American labor really more expensive? Really?

Or do American workers simply have the unforgivable expectation of some kind of profit sharing?

(Yes, yes, yes. CoL in the economically important parts of America is higher. Again, the root cause being windfall profits for the elite.)

Do you think the reason hallucinations occur in LLMs is because the training data includes the hallucination? You are very wrong. Hallucinations are not a training data problem, at least in the way you are implying.

I've not seen any research showing that whole-grain carbohydrates have a lower impact on blood glucose than quick carbohydrates. We have only proof by repeated assertion.

My freestyle Libra CGM has recorded the impact of whole-grain products on my body. Whole-grain products consistently spike my blood sugar. 40 g of oatmeal or Bob's Red Mill 10-grain mix will push me up to 100-120 milligrams per deciliter. Whole-wheat pasta, 60g, will push me up about 150-200 mg/dL.

Eating more than 25 g carbs per meal pushes me up beyond 50 mg/dL at the one-hour mark. If I consistently let my blood sugar climb between 75 and 100 mg/dL at the one-hour mark, my fasting blood sugar starts to climb. This is how I learned that low-fat vegan was a bad diet for me. My A1c went from 6 to 7.8 in less than a year.

Too much dietary advice for diabetics is, at best, mythology.

I'm guessing you haven't been to Indonesia. This style of wiring is common in businesses and homes in Indonesia, Thailand and lot of poorer asian countries. The regulations are weak or unenforced. Often unlicensed people build houses, run power, water etc.

It's (probably unintentionally) dishonest to judge this by a first world standard.
> I’m genuinely curious how that acceleration meter would work.

Look up how the one in your phone works. It reads nonzero when you are standing on Earth because of electromagnetic repulsion between your atoms and the atoms in the floor.

> There won’t be any internal forces

Yes, there will, because the object's internal state (including its shape, size, and internal stresses) when it is accelerated is different from its shape when it is in free fall. Why? Because the acceleration sets up internal forces in the object that result in a different equilibrium from the one it was in while it was freely falling.

Well, my algorithm only says that it's an infinite loop if it actually is an infinite loop, not a "this loop has been running for 30 seconds" like the Linux Kernel has.
Are hallucinations really only a problem with "non factual" training data? Looking at all the made up library methods that ChatGPT uses in the code it produces, it made me think this is a general LLM/GPT problem.
Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to do this with VFX?
Just because it's printed in a book doesn't mean it's any more factual than any other source of information. Many studies and reviews have found Wikipedia to be more accurate overall than Encyclopedia Britannica. In fact, because it's in a book, it's harder to correct, and more insidious because of opinions like the one you just expressed.

In both cases, you should not treat the information as canonically or authoritatively accurate or factual. Biases, gaps, outright lies and fabrication exist in any large collection of human writing.
That will be interesting. I suspect that the hallucinations come from combining unrelated data in ways that stretch reality. However, using the general Internet as a source of Truth seems like it was never a good idea.
This looks awesome, automated UI testing is so hard to get right but also very important. Great work so far!

> The chart (2012) is from Gary Alexander, Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Public Welfare - so take note the commenters who are trying to suggest this is libertarian propaganda.

> getting rid of parking are really great first steps

Getting rid of parking in an area where people need cars is the worst possible early step. If you've ever lived in such an area you'd know the chaos it ensures.

The way to do it is to make alternatives be more attractive. Most people don't actually want to spend the money on cars and insurance and maintenance. So if you build infrastructure to make alternatives be cheaper and easier, lots of people will use them, organically reducing car usage without forcing misery on anyone.

A fundamental of expertise is knowing the terrain, what you can and can't do safely and reliably. A fundamental of knowledge is becoming aware of far more that you don't know; only in ignorance do we imagine there is little outside our personal boundaries.

Highly experienced professionals will tell me, 'I don't know how to do that, you should talk to ...', and will refuse to even venture advice. My doctor tells me to talk to a specialist.

That's LADD (Limited Aircraft Data Displayed), which requires that aircraft marked as such in the FAA's database to be removed from the official data feeds used by the commercial flight radar sites.

Crowdsourced data isn't subject to LADD, so adsbexchange and other such sites can and do display such aircraft.

For flights within the US, there's also a private address program that allows an ADS-B equipped plane to broadcast an alternate address.

Crown Sterling: Five years since TIME AI, five years of grifts and lie
Altium is about $10k to start and then $2.5k ~ 3.5k per year depending on plan.
Five years ago, today, the infosec community found itself wondering about Robert Edward Grant's Quasi-primes, and an ever expanding portfolio of grifts by his company, Crown Sterling. These included

* TIME AI, a completely bonkers, five-dimensional vaporware cipher with time-traveling keys,

* Black Hat 2019 crank presentation,

* Bogus RSA break claims, and later,

* Cryptographic protocol broken in just about all aspects,

* Cryptocurrency grifts, and as the newest addition,

* A browser-based messaging app.

This wiki-article documents and debunks pretty much all of it, in ridiculous detail and with more than 200 references.
