Did you really just ask for a 409a in a public forum? You do realize those are closely guarded secrets?
Not a book, no.

What I had to do was, there was a guy who was mentoring me. He had me write down in a notebook every single time I screwed up in how I interacted with someone. We got together every couple of weeks and talked through my list.

This is better than a book, because I got to walk through situations I had been in, and kind of "replay" them, and see what I could do differently. It hit what I needed, not what some book author thought I needed. And I could relate to the things we discussed, every single one of them, because they were real situations to me.

Note that this is critically dependent on the quality of the mentor, though...

That depends completely on the podcast, it's weird to impugn an entire category of media because you've picked bad podcasts. Podcasts like The Economist, Slow News Cast, Sensemaker and The Inquiry have basically no wasted time whatsoever. They are punchy as any radio story, which is why I prefer this category of podcast.

I for one can't stand to listen to long rambling repetitive conversations from guys like Huberman or Rogan, which is why I don't listen to them.

One of the reasons that I didn't drop out of college (almost 25 years ago) was because I was working part-time proofreading (and occasional translating tech manuals) for a translator who used to get about $25 per 1000 "touches". It could be good money for an experienced translator, but nowadays it's a dead profession outside of legal documents who need a certified notary.

Google's automatic translation was not good enough at the beginning to replace the translator's job, but by the time I was already graduated it was good enough for her to not need my proofreading and it was good enough for her to effectively get 60% of the job done. She has then effectively become the proofreader for a bad translator.

And nowadays, the bad translator is good enough to the point where her customers can just throw the original document on Google and do themselves the proofreading.

This is what will happen with programming tools. Code generation tools are still just at the "smart autocomplete" stage and the experienced programmer is still needed to act as reviewers, but as AI gets better, it will be cheaper to drop the "professional expert" altogether and let someone with tangential knowledge (maybe a product manager) in charge.

A Note About Vultr's Terms of Service
UPX doesn't always work in the cases where I've had this issue before. There was one application that was approaching 100 megabytes for what amounted to a really high-quality SSH bastion that I tried to use once. UPX got it down to about 30 megabytes, which was great, except that UPX needed to unpack the entire thing into memory to run. On the system I was trying to load this on I only had 128 megabytes of RAM so that size made it a non-starter for me. We do have a Go program to manage our CA certificates that uses UPX but we run it once during boot so it's much easier to manage.

I actually think being able to optionally dehydrate the tables and compute them at startup would be a big win for Go executable size to the degree that it might be a contender in the kinds of systems I work on.

This is only throughput. The latency is given by the speed of light in the fibre (~c/1.5). That said Microsoft bought a company that develops hollow core fibre which yields a factor 1.5 improvement in latency. They just presented their latest results which is a 0.11 dB/km loss. This is actually the biggest result from the conference, because it is a massive improvement over regular fibre which has been hovering at about 0.15 dB/km loss for the last 40 years, with improvements below 1% over that time.
Certainly! Here are the answers to your questions about P2P WhatsApp, Instagram, and the Metaverse in a PWA, along with your provided link:

What is the concept behind integrating P2P WhatsApp, Instagram, and the Metaverse into a PWA?
The concept revolves around merging the functionalities of P2P communication (like WhatsApp), social media engagement (like Instagram), and immersive virtual experiences (like the Metaverse) into a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Exponential growth is a bitch.
The math from general relativity is crystal clear. It’s just difficult to translate into natural language, because it doesn’t match our intuitions, which are primed by local experiences of non-curved space. You have to question your intuitions, and if you’re serious about it, look into the actual math. It all follows from a few basic assumptions, and is consistent with actual observations to an unmatched degree.

Preservatives could probably be partly blamed, because there are basically poisons.

Also, increased antibiotics use... they kill good gut bacterias. AKA: we don't know why you are sick.. take these antibiotics for 10 days for no reason.

A dentist once prescribed me two antibiotics at once because his shitty root canal job was hurting me (and it didn't fix anything). $1000 down the drain and it created pain in my guts.
Why even use a database? Just assign a variable. All state is dead the second you destroy the container anyways.
I don't think it is. When you install a signal controller there's this diode board, one diode for each phase. You use a wirecutter and remove diodes in order to tell the controller which phases ought to be allowed at the same time. What you're describing would only be possible if all signals were installed with all diodes removed.

I can't speak for the whole industry, but back when I was part of it, thats how our controllers worked. Admittedly, I don't think New York City was a customer.

Well, yeah, that's what a few trillion transistors look like with today's tech. No doubt it will get smaller/cheaper in the future (although EUV is expensive, so maybe prices won't keep dropping as much as in the past). The point is that even with today's tech a (4) trillion transistor chip can already be built.
High-Skilled Labor Is Doomed
I'm a management consultant who's also worked in the valley for a Series B startup in a strategy function.

I got laid off in November and finding a new job has been as hard as it's ever been.

Why?

1) Companies aren't actually looking to hire
2) The economy is so f*cked that you're competing with director level candidates for senior level roles
3) ATS systems suck and can't accurate ascertain the breadth or level of experience
4) Recruiters aren't business folk and have no idea how to accurately determine whether a candidate is good
5) Diversity is still an issue when it comes to hiring (not as big of a factor but still happens)
6) Startups have multiple (6+) rounds of interviews that are poorly designed and do not accurate reflect a candidates ability to perform
7) Back when I first joined my last startup I competed against 500 other people, now in most scenarios I'm competing against 1500-2000

I often say that a precursor to economic ruin is looking at what startups are doing, besides AI, every other startup looks like they are getting destroyed with 409a's at all time lows. Founders are no longer getting the cash infusions they typically got. If innovation and growth in this sector is limited it can't be good for the rest. Time will tell as the stock market is at an all time high with bubble like conditions...

On the other hand this is good motivation to start your own thing and make those companies regret the day they never hired you!

The usual suspects are pesticides, emulsifiers, preservatives/additives, genetically engineered food, highly processed food and then overall plain worse eating, as in lack of: unprocessed, fiber, freshness.

The problem is that there is so much money in food made by big companies nowadays, for every reputable study you will get 10 studies paid by those companies that proclaim the opposite.
> Tasks completed

True story: At one place I consulted management cared deeply about the board showing tasks completed and features complete.
Every other week the tasks and features scheduled for that sprint had to be in the Done column or the programmer was publicly questioned in the next sprint planning meeting.
For accounting reasons there were strong disincentives towards fixing bugs or working on anything that made it harder to get things to the Done column.
Project management would not schedule more than 10% of a sprint towards anything on the board so categorized.
Project owners determined which tickets got designated bugs or problems.
I'm not sure it's possible to make secure. To render the positions of the enemies, the browser receives 4 coords. To submit the capcha, the browser submits 4 coords – the same ones it received. Perhaps you could track the variance between the exact position and the position the user selected, as well as timing. But would it be enough?
Show HN: German-Language Diceware
Probably a very niche interest, but here we go.

I built a German-language implementation of XKCD: Password Strength [1], which in itself is presumably inspired by diceware passphrases [2].

# Tech:

FastAPI + Bulma, hosted on uberspace.de.

I‘m not a software developer per se, but did CS50 ages ago. Now mostly data stuff.

Build time: 2 days total. My first "real" web project with this stack.

# Features:

- Generate German passphrases of 2-12 words

- Word repository containing 4800 common German words

- Confetti

# Stuff I’m planning / thinking about:

- Extended word repo (60,000 words)?

- Capital letters?

- Numbers?

- API?

- Entropy calculator?

Would love if you give it a spin, even if you don’t speak the language.

I can't speak for onetimeuse92304, but it's probably because the program which generates machine code was in Common Lisp and SBCL using the techniques FTA, and it would basically be impossible to port in any reasonable way. Experimenting with and deploying assembly code generation in SBCL is very organized and flexible—much better in Lisp than in C even.
Saying it in a situation where we don't utilize even 1% of available resources. Much closer to 0.0001% than 1%.

Also saying it in a situation where we don't even really attempt to be efficient.

Now I'm all for efficiency - but that's not what the degrowth people are saying.
Pretty much.

One (potential?) advantage not mentioned in the article is lighter weight relative to a similar traditional engine.
Has there been an increase in red meat consumption? That seems to be an unlikely culprit.
I'd love to see the research behind that. I don't know where Americans rank, but I wouldn't guess we rank high.
You're assuming worse of me than I'm assuming of the technology.

There's almost no reply here with a use that is a) not somewhat bad and b) has enough of an upside to compensate the downsides.

Except maybe this one, but I do know enough about accessibility to know how blind people generally use computers, which is why I asked the question.
My phone connects to my car's bluetooth in an instant every time I start it up. Just press play and my last played podcast starts up. Hardly a faff.
Low end torque tends to be the rotary's Achilles heel. I think the claim being made is that efficiency is better at high, steady RPMs, but tbh, I've always found that claim a bit dubious. If you love the rotary engine, this does have some nice perks as the electric motor basically fixes the rotary engine's main weakness.

Having said that, I'd have been much more excited about this 10-15 years ago.
IANAL but you are probably ok as far as the cops are concerned. You made a mistake and you did the right thing: as soon as you realized it, you deleted it, reported him, etc. I'm reasonably sure, at least in my state, that the law specifically says if you looked at CSAM for two seconds or less, it's not a violation. The point is, they understand that sometimes people receive things they didn't ask for and open them and take a second to realize what it is. My guess is you're ok. Invest a few hundred bucks and speak to a real criminal defense attorney if you really need your mind set at ease. It's expensive but if you're really worried it might be worth it for the peace of mind.

As to your files and memories: sorry, bub, they're probably gone for good. Dropbox just takes away your stuff. I just got my Dropbox account of well over 10 years abruptly turned off with no explanation other than "This account has been disabled for terms of use violation." They gave no warning, will not explain what the supposed violation was, will not reply further, will not give me a single chance to remedy the situation. They just yoinked my access to years of my work. I had most of it backed up locally, but the scary thing is, I don't actually know what I didn't have backed up.

Googling for this, this is a common story, and nobody I could find has ever found a way to get them to respond or to give access to the priceless property they've removed our access to. One guy on Reddit lost access to medical info he needed. It's hard to believe it's legal, but nobody has ever gotten together a class action suit so, boom, it's effectively legal, whether or not it really is.

This is the worst I have ever seen a business treat a paying customer for sure, and once you start searching online you'll see Dropbox have been doing this to their customers for years. Just google "Dropbox disabled my account" and check out what good company you're in.

So, the only comfort I can give is: you are not alone. And, in my unprofessional opinion (read: strictly a guess) you're probably alright with regard to the law. This got me worried for a sec too... What did they see in my account that I accidentally downloaded 11 years ago and didn't even realize was there? Am I going to get a knock on my door?

I'm thinking it's because I shared a bootleg of The Soft Boys at Lady Mitchell Hall.

I will tell you that my life's mission from here forwards is to make sure people know that Dropbox does this. I am pissed off.
I appreciate the comment.

I hope so, then those of us who want to tell a story (writers, whether comic or novellist or short story or screenplay or teleplay or whatever) will be able to compete more and more on quality and richness of the story copy and content to the audience, not with the current comparative advantage of media choices being made for most storytellers based on difficulty to render.

Words on page are easier than still photos, which are easier than animation, which are easier than live-action TV, which are easier than IMAX movies etc.

If we move all of the rendering of the media into automation, then its just who can come up with the best story content, and you can render it whatever way you like: book, audiobook, animation, live action TV, web series, movie, miniseries, whatever you like.

Granted - the AI will come for us writers to, it already is in some cases. Then the Creator Economy itself will be consumed with eventually becoming 'who can meme the fastest' on an industrial scale for daily events on the one end, and who has taken the time to paint / playact / do rendering out in the real world.

But I sure would love to be able to make a movie out of my unpublished novel, and realistically today, that's impossible in my lifetime. Do I want the entire movie-making industry to die so I and others like me can have that power? No. But if the industry is going to die / change drastically anyways due to forces beyond my control, does that mean I'm not going to take advantage of the ability? Still no.

IDK. I don't have all the answers to this.

But yes, this (amazingly accurate voice cloner after a tiny clip?! wow) product is another step towards that brave new world.
You can zero at an arbitrary point, but the point is that it forces you to explain your zero. For example, for "room temperature" you might zero at 0ºC, a value that can be easily reached in winter. For "body temperature" you can zero at 37ºC and stretch the scale +-5ºC (aprox. the survivable range), and the graph would show fever vs non-fever. You clearly are not after some deception.

For a graph of earnings or net income, you should zero at either 0T (you can have zero earnings or even negative earnings, or you can have zero income), or zero at some point that you must explain and makes sense (e.g. zeroing Boeing earnings at Boeing + MD merger).

But in my experience, when someone zeros the scale at an arbitrary point, he's after a deception. I've seen graphs zeroed randomly and without explanation at 5000, and the scale going from 5000 to 5004, with the points going wildly from the top to the bottom and back again. "Wow, what a wild ride!", but in reality it was as stable as it could be. There are a lot of examples of this in business anual/quarter reports.

> uniquely need tank-sized vehicles with 1000km range

I'm not arguing people need 1,000km range, but personally I wouldn't buy a car without at least 150+mi range for a non-road trip car given the realities of the city I live in. At least monthly I drive >100mi round trip and would like some amount of range extra in there, as the destination doesn't yet have charging. And I'm pretty light on driving!
