It is absolutely true that you can go touch grass to manage your anger. You'll feel much better.

At the same time, some anger is legitimate, especially if you're talking about anger caused by inequality and injustice. If your solution to that kind of anger is to make it go away by disconnecting and ignoring it, you're only helping to perpetuate the inequality and injustice by pushing it out of your mind. Removing the anger removes some of your motivation for rectifying its cause.

If you have illogical rage issues, like say road rage, yeah. Go ahead and take care of that however works best for you. If you're mad for legitimate reasons, I suggest letting that anger fuel you to act in a way to help bring about real change.

Source? France's investments in nuclear energy are very well known as being incomparably successful, both in terms of return on capital investment and emissions. There is literally nothing to compare it to because nothing comes close. The only downside is literally upfront cost. Even the US has had great ROI in long term nuclear investments, especially if you discount the losses of all the prematurely decommissioned plants.
> Physical space is only one way to measure things.

> Humans might account for materially all of the conscious experience the universe has ever known.

These are both true statements, that do not answer my question. For something to be misinformative, it has to be false. You might claim that it's misleading to _focus on_ "proportion of physical space" instead of "proportion of conscious experience" - but it's not _misinformative_ to accurately describe the proportion of physical space we occupy.
Someone who hates oranges might still, on rare occasion, pick one. Maybe they’re having a bad day, misunderstood the instruction, or wanted to turn their life around starting now. We might make decisions with high likelihood but it’s a qualitative leap to go from 99.999999% to 100%.
You made this claim before, I asked you to elaborate. To me it seems that the article describes a career doing research and applying it to public policy.
The title attribute has poor discoverability since you need to long-tap/hover to see it. Need something that shows instantly.

The title attribute disappears once you move the mouse off the object vs clicking to keep it open or having a delay on it.

You also can't have html in a title attribute.
Why would you update the English Wikipedia before the Japanese one ?
You would need to align the vectors of words in our language to the ones in their language... which requires knowing their language (or enough of it)
The symbols do have names, eg | is commonly called a ‘vertical bar’ or ‘pipe’. I think when people read the code though, they say the name of the operator instead, e.g. your example is ‘reverse max scan x’. A complication is that the meaning of a symbol depends on the surrounding symbols (eg | can be reverse or max) and another is that the meaning can depend on context, eg | is max but when the inputs are arrays of bits (where 1 is true and 0 is false), max is equivalent to logical or, and so people may call the operator ‘or’ in those contexts.

I think advocates would claim that the symbols allow for faster interaction with the computer and for larger programs to fit in one’s working memory.
To nitpick, wouldn't it by definition bias the read toward normal? I suppose the problem is more that you don't want to bias it to normal if it wasn't.
You can certainly be an entrepreneur and not do the traditional startup route (i.e., angels, VCs, etc).

You can also be a founder of a company that is effectively a knock-off of some other company / model. Sorry, but regardless of how you go about it, cookie cutter'ing it isn't good enough. That's not an entrepreneur.

There is the downside of having to maintain both schemas now.

Unless you automate it devs will have to remember to migrate both when making a change which adds some overhead, not a lot, but it's just something to consider here imo as some migrations (schema and/or data) can become nasty and complex
IMO deleted_at, either with null or epoch as the "not deleted" value is nicer than is_deleted because it allows some level of auditing.
> Luck is probably a bigger component of most successes and no one seems to know everything for sure. All what someone has in terms of advice seems to be their “best guesses”.

One of the main truths that no-one here wants to admit. There is always an element of luck involved which is hidden by many folk here reading on HN.

> From where I stand I don’t see any reason to take someone’s best guess over mine. If we’re all trying to figure it out, then I don’t trust anybody, except maybe a few second hand experiences from people that I find worthy.

Don't listen to me and do what works for you.

> Because we’re all different, I find that most career advice sums up to garbage, at best.

Yes. 90% of it is outdated in a month.

Most of the advice here tells you to 'climb up the career ladder' like they did and everyone else is doing, when the 1% of smarter folks are building their own escalators, and I would build a startup instead of chasing job applications and begging for promotions.

It is all about time and its up to you how you best use the next 2 years. The indisputable fact is, you can never get those 2 years back ever again.
Ukraine seems to be trying to find a middle ground here. Until recently, they only drafted men over the age of 27 (last month it was lowered to 25). Of course, even that age is still going to wreck your demographics. On the other hand, I'm not sure that retired old people have enough stamina to last long on the battlefield. Many of Ukraine's units have been fighting for over a year with no R&R.
It feels like a deadline because in many ways it *is* a soft deadline.

It is an uncomfortable fact, but at 30 you are about ten years into the productive fifty years of your life. You are about ten years into the thirty years of your life (~20~50) where you can take on major projects, which often take 15-20 years, and be confident you can see them through.

It sounds like over the next two years you need to figure out what you want and what you can accomplish; that is lots of time. However, I wouldn't discount advice the way you do. It's true that people are figuring out where they are, but advice from people who've already passed through where you are in life is informative.
This is an excellent ponit, and I don't know where to exactly draw the line ("I know it when I see it"). I personally use "auto" (probably heuristic, maybe soon-ish AI-powered) features to adjust levels, color balance etc. Using AI to add things that are _not at all present_ in the original crossed the line into digital art vs photography for me.
It’s fine not to like that position, and it’s good you’re aware of and are acknowledging it head on. I would say first talk to your team to see if you can get them to ease up and make your current situation better (assuming you want to stay).

If that doesn’t go well, or is not possible, then it’s probably time to start looking elsewhere. And when you interview ask about WLB and gauge how much is expected of you.

Plenty of places where you can coast once you’re settled in.

The article is mostly nonsense.
Building physical things in the real world takes more than a couple of years. Think how long it takes to plan and build a regular building and these are buildings with insanely high energy requirements.

This seems to be just partisan point scoring.

Besides half the Republican Party is still advocating for coal and oil extraction, it’s a bit hypocritical to be complaining that EVs aren’t happening fast enough.
I feel like you're very close to an implementation which would finally break the HTTP hegemony on network protocols. I would strongly suggest looking at non-Web methods (I haven't done much research into TURN/DERP so I can't suggest anything specific)

I would also suggest looking at ZeroMQ if you haven't yet; their design & implementation is really fantastic. They implement the bare bones in the library, and then you can go implement your own components with it for whatever architectural topology you want. So for example, you could make a closed-source paid product of a connection broker using the library, and somebody else could make one for free as open-source. Both have their use-cases, and they're both compatible with all the other apps in the ecosystem. This benefits you as it legitimizes the product and grows the ecosystem, and encourages more use due to its flexibility

No mention of birdsong in this article leaves me hanging. Surely birdsong has got to be much more studied, and must contain lots of complexity ripe to be plumbed for hidden meaning.
A Hard Day's Night is great because it's basically just them goofing around. The rest of the Beatles films have their charms, but they're not actors. I really can't imagine that the idea was to do a straight LOTR adaptation, it must have been some kind of parody. The whole appeal of the Beatles on screen is that they're funny.
> you both made valid points

I'm not one of the two people who had previously made points (though HN's interface does not make it easy to notice that). Regardless - prompting someone to support or extrapolate on an otherwise-unsubstantiated claim is perfectly reasonable (though I concede I was a little snarkier than I could have been).
> But for some reason we choose not to do this.

Let's not pretend the reason is some big mystery. We choose not to do this because corporations and the very wealthy would have to proportionally pay their share for it, and by and large they control politicians and the political processes.
That doesn't actually tell you anything. Someone who drives 100,000 miles/year at the same level of safety would have 20 times more accidents in the same period of time than someone who drives 5000 miles/year. Certain areas have more traffic or are otherwise more prone to accidents. 5 is not a large enough statistical sample to know if someone is the cause or just unlucky.
Probably yes. But most medical implants today are MRI-scannable anyway. Even patients with pacemakers can be scanned today with proper preparation.

I’ve speculated for many years that biology is harnessing quantum computing in some way and that this is one of the simplest explanations for how the brain can do what it does so quickly on so little power. It only consumes around 40 watts and does things an entire AWS data center can’t do.

Quantum compute could be being leveraged to do things like accelerating search for gradient descent. This would allow very rapid learning in polynomial time. There are also quantum algorithms that can more or less serialize parallel search, etc.

The objection is usually that biology is hot and noisy and wet and that this is a poor environment for QC. This assumes that it’s doing QC in a remotely similar way to how the quantum computers we are trying to build would do it. Billions of years of evolution might have found ways to harness quantum phenomena for information processing that are quite radically different. It’s all analog for starters, so nothing like a “qubit” or rigidly defined circuits.

Maybe some biochemical reactions are structured so as to invoke and amplify useful quantum effects that allow things to happen informatically that would be much slower or more costly without those effects.

Without understanding what’s happening this would just look like noise and luck to us. I do know that there are “unreasonably effective” enzymes and reactions involved in things like DNA repair, though it’s been a while since I read about this. I think there are cases where repair complexes find DNA errors more effectively than can easily be explained by basic chemistry and chance, and we are not sure exactly what’s going on. Maybe there’s something involving quantum information processing happening somewhere.
Yeah, early trials of something like this will be offered to someone who likely wouldn't benefit all that much from a real human kidney either, so as not to waste it.
Maybe Germany wouldn't have invaded Russia if more officers had spoken up about how bad of an idea it was; conformity and following orders is something the Prussian education system instills in people.
I agree. The average person is so removed from violence and conflict so they feel no moral or survivalist need to fight; thus, governments step in and force them--or should I say, politicians. Let's have politicians' own children go to war first and then conscript people.
Not really, most of them are “feature complete” as they target a very small surface area or feature.

For instance, one of them reveals salaries on job seeker sites, and is feature complete as it does what it’s meant to do bug free and fast

> Arrington characterized Quora with “People say they feel smarter after they use Quora”

But… they still do; as the article says, and it’s completely correct, it is essentially selling _feeling smart_. That’s not the same as _being_ smarter, though. I’m not sure there was ever _really_ a golden age; it wasn’t as bad as it is today on launch, certainly, but it was never great.

Except without Wikipedia’s editing process, which is relatively good at keeping out incorrect things written by internet knowitalls. It _always_, right from the start, had a big problem with the confidently incorrect.
> Conscription is slavery and slavery is evil. If a country has to resort to slavery then it doesn't deserve to exist.

Come on, that's nonsense logic. "Lets' make sloppy comparisons and reason from them," is never goes anywhere good. It's the same way you get to other nonsense like "taxation is theft."

If you live in a community, that means sometimes the community makes decisions for you. That's not slavery, or theft, or any inflammatory word you care to choose to describe it.

I'm a radiologist and very sceptic about low-field MRI + ML actually replacing normal high-field MRI for standard diagnostic purposes.

But in a emergency setting or especially for MRI-guided interventions these low-field MRIs can really play a significant role. Combining these low-field MRIs with rapid imaging techniques makes me really excited about what interventional techniques become possible.
To me this reads like an old guy scared of new technology he does not understand, with a track record in astronomy so easily able to get papers published, pulling numbers out of thin air with regards to the hypothetical emergence of artificial superintelligence within the next 15 years. Then plugging this random guess into the Drake equation and getting an answer close to one end of the scale.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: despite the impressive advancements in current LLMs, there is absolutely zero evidence supporting the notion that these AIs want to do anything at all. They simply respond to prompts. They don't even remember anything, the entire previous conversation needs to be included in every prompt. There is no technical mechanism by which they are able to possess or attain agency.

My best bet for the explanation of the Fermi paradox is simply the intersection of economics and interstellar travel timescales. The payback time for any "interstellar colonisation" is measured in centuries or millenia, and will require tens of thousands of people to condemn both themselves and their children and grandchildren to never see anything else than the inside of a spaceship. The only factor extreme enough to motivate humans to such endeavours is impending planetary destruction, which does not result in anything like exponential growth.
It doesn’t take years as a rule. Many, many complex physical builds are completed in far less time than “years.”
>> Regarding love of complexity and C++, they’re sitting on the C++ committee. Complexity is their bread and butter. :)

Wow, I didn't know that, it explains a lot. There was a post on HN a while ago titled '“Modern” C++ Lamentations' (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29898955). My eyes bleed when I see that "N Pythagorean triples" program in "C++". That's as close to classic C++ as Chinese is to Latin. And it's barely 10+ years since 2011. At this rate I don't even dare think what the "Modernest C++" of 2034 will look like, given the incentives the committee guys run on. If programming was done with pen and paper, I'd bet on making us stick a pen in our ass and write with that. Either way I'm expecting some equivalent proctology intervention needed to comply with the standard 10 years from now.

> The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) triggered a restructuring of the previously monolithic utility sector, stipulating in particular that electricity produced by independent power producers must be purchased by utilities at "avoided cost." The new power from independent producers, combined with lack of demand for electricity, further eroded utilities' need for new nuclear plants. In large part owing to the provisions of PURPA, nonutility generation rose steadily from 71 billion kilowatt-hours per year in 1979 to almost 400 billion kilowatt-hours per year by 1995 -- this new, nonutility generation was the equivalent of adding more than 50 typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear plants (Energy Information Administration, 1996). As Peter Bradford (2011), a former member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, argued in the Wall Street Journal:

> "Nuclear-plant construction in this country came to a halt because a law passed in 1978 [PURPA] created competitive markets for power. These markets required investors rather than utility customers to assume the risk of cost overruns, plant cancellations, and poor operation. Today, private investors still shun the risks of building new reactors in all nations that employ power markets."

In layman-friendly terms, the scale goes from G1 to G5.

The one in 1859 was classified as G5 (extreme), and the one the other day was the very first time G4 warning has been issued. Not as in "it'll definitely be G4", but more along the lines of "it'll be G3, possibly increasing to G4 for a brief period of time".

There's also a more "scientific" scale called the K-index (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-index), but I don't understand it well enough to be able to explain it.

> Some of the things they tell me are so pie in the sky that it’s hard to even begin to imagine how to return their expectations to reality. For example, many of them have picked up ideas that we should all be working 8-10 hours per week due to societal progress, or that the government could easily institute UBI at levels that had everyone living comfortable middle class lifestyles and made work optional.

IMO they should be applauded for being able to even imagine such a world--and encouraged to go make it happen before all the "status quo advocates" beat it out of them. The world has so much surplus to offer, yet that surplus is captured by so few. Good for these kids who, at least for the moment, haven't yet resigned themselves to the "fact" that this can't be changed.
Am I hallucinating, or does anyone remember the Steve Jobs story as the exact opposite? He used backs of a cabinet as an example of when it’s okay to cut corners, since nobody would ever see it. I don’t remember where I heard it or what the context was, but it was something along the lines of him trying to get one of the early Mac engineers to ship faster.

There was a lot of corner cutting to get the original iPhone launched. They barely made it in time. The parts that mattered were polished to perfection, but you wouldn’t want to use an iPhone 1 today — all the other parts you take for granted now would be painfully visible then.

>Deckard does not have superhuman strength or physical resistance to damage

We don't know that from the film, because we don't see him fight ordinary humans.

All we can gather is that he has maybe a bit less strength than the replicants he's fighting... but still enough to come out on top every time.

Weird, huh?

>He got his ass kicked multiple times.

...by replicants with superhuman strength. And made it out just fine. No hospital or anything.

Huh.

>the monologue at the end was Roy coming to terms with the end of his life. There was nothing to be gained by killing Deckard. He wanted to be remembered

Agreeing to that.

My point was that wanting to be remembered by your executioner, who would never have the grasp of what you saw (or what you truly are), makes less sense than wanting to be remembered by one of your own kind, who you know will outlive you by a long shot.
Isn't soft-delete just a variant of having a lifecycle? The article tries to distinguish it by saying that the lifecycle pattern is implemented at the app-layer instead of the database layer, but isn't their criticism of soft-delete that the app-layer has to deal with it?

Maybe a better recommendation is to give guidelines for implementing soft-delete?
