I was also taught to suppress my anger, and it still causes me problems to this day.

An autistic friend said something to me a few years ago that changed my perspective on it completely. She said “Seph, I never know with you whether you’re actually calm or you just seem calm. It’s like you’re an oven and whenever I stick my hand in, the oven feels cold. But then one day the house will suddenly be on fire”. I thought I was helping by suppressing my anger, but it was actually stressing her out because she couldn’t calibrate. People want to know if they’re doing something that’s pissing you off so they can decide if they’re going to cut it out. Now, sometimes I think of it as “oh, I feel about a 2 out of 10 anger now. What does 2/10 anger look like?” - and then I try to communicate that. If the situation gets better, my anger dissipates and I relax. If the situation gets worse, fine, now we go up to a 4 out of 10 or something. And I try to express that. My voice and posture change, and I do the human equivalent of growling.

My friends point is that predictability is a virtue. People hate it when you’re angry all of a sudden, out of nowhere. But they weirdly like it when things escalate and deescalate naturally. To do that, it’s important to be able to accurately communicate exactly how angry you feel along the way so people know where they stand with you. (Even, and especially if that’s just a very slight 1/10 frustration).

It’s a skill as much as it’s an emotion. I wish people practiced their anger more.

Would you endorse secretly spiking a stranger’s drink with uranium?

To make this scenario more comparable, you would need to randomize the amount of uranium because you would need to be unsure of the effect of the dose. You would also need to do this to schoolchildren.

You would also need to be the US Army or acting under the authority of the US Army.

You would also need to be immune to prosecution and to any legal remedy sought by the survivors.

I believe the unar tool creates a containing directory by default.
You can't really do that though. I mean at a high level, yeah a poor diet and little exercise will almost certainly lead to an adult gaining weight. But it sounds like you're describing the possibility of calculating his expected weight gain based on how much he ate and how much he exercised, and I don't think that's possible. Not to mention that it's been widely reported (iirc even from Spurlock himself) that he was drinking alcohol heavily during this period, which will further complicate this calorie-level reconcilation you're suggesting.
Totally agree! or datalog is even better if you can accept not using the mainstream databases.
I'm buying one now, believing in good faith that this will in fact materialize. GP, please follow through! :-D
It doesn't have to be one-dimensional, but some dimensions should concern us more than others. Businesses fail all the time for loads of reasons and we shouldn't necessarily try to prevent that. But the structural reasons behind this one are driven by market power and consolidation, and the result of the takeover will be an increase in those measures: these are the effects that generalize beyond "Red Lobster is a complex one-off."
Sounds a lot like a certain pandemic, and haphazard vaccine program that was mandated afterwards.
> I don’t understand why the US voluntarily gave up its significant advantage in manufacturing

Because there's a basic heirarchy in capitalism where resource extraction is at the bottom, manufacturing in the middle, and finance at the top, and the higher on that heirarchy your comparative advantage is, the more value you capture out of the global economy.

The US won (or, more accurately, is winning, its not a static state) global capitalism is what happened.
oooh - any links?
It's a nice read but I doubt that the idea delivers what it promises.
I think one could downsize the idea to: if you learn one topic deeply you (probably) touch surrounding topics. That does not sound as elegant and holistic as in the article but is IMO closer to the truth. I would call it a huge exaggeration to say I've learned things about the world when in reality I just became a really good software engineer that knows how to interact with OSS communities.

These ideas are repeated often and I lean more to the specificity side of things: you only get good at what you learn/train. You won't become better at decision maker by learning chess/poker, you won't (or just become a slightly better) endurance swimmer by becoming a good runner, you won't understand human psychology by getting good at coding.

I remember a talk of top-notch mathematics where they were asked about related mathematical topics and most of them would just answer something like: "I just try to understand my field of mathematics well, I can't say much about something else". This was the discussion from the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNgUQlpc1m0&list=PLyF3OMOiy3...
No, no, and no. The way macOS handles split screen is objectively bad, that's not an opinion. It's clunky, slow, not very discoverable, not intuitive, and is painful to use because it requires using the fullscreen mode. Windows does it a certain way and it's great and natural. Linux desktop environment copied it not because it's Windows, but because it's good. Why is there no desktop environment copying macOS window handling if it's just as good? Because it's not, it sucks.

Some things on macOS are just different, like having the red/green/yellow button on the left instead of on the right on Windows. Neither is objectively good or bad, just different.

But that I cannot take a window, drag and drop it to the side to make it take half the screen size is bad. It's an obvious feature nowadays and macOS should handle it natively. They don't even have to remove the way they do it currently, because it has its use (I have a permanently open full screen/split screen with my email client and Slack, it's great for that), just add a new mechanism that works better for quick split screen.

Same with command+tab, it sucks that it doesn't work with open windows (eg if I have 2 open Firefox windows, only 1 will be displayed). It used to work like that so I'm ok with macOS keeping it as a default, but WHY don't they add a setting to do what people expect? Or why don't they add option+tab as a shortcut with this behaviour?

I've used macOS, Windows, and various Linux DEs (KDE, XFCE, Gnome) extensively in my life and all of them have good and bad concepts. This is not a blind spot issue, just that some UI concepts work better than other, and the correct thing to do is to adapt.
That could be a great feature. You can use your tablet to find cat pee and other undesirables on your carpet, or just set the mood for a party
More like that, yes. Rust has two general-purpose mechanisms, generics and enums, which are combined to handle Optional and Result types. Zig special-cases optional types with `?type` (that is literally the type which can be a type or null), and special-cases errors with `!`. Particularly with errors, I find this more ergonomic, and easier to use. Exceptions were right about one thing: it does often make sense to handle errors a couple call frames up the stack, and Zig make that easy, but without the two awful things about exceptions: low-performance try blocks, and never quite knowing if something you call will throw one.

It also has tagged unions as a general mechanism for returning one of several enumerated values, while requiring the caller to exhaustively switch on all the possibilities to use the value. And it has comptime generics ^_^. But it doesn't use them to implement optionals or errors.
> What does this do to beginners that are just learning to program? Is this helping them by forcing them to become critical reviewers or harming them by being a bad role model?

Harming them.

I told a new grad employee to write some unit tests for his code, explained the high level concepts and what I was looking for, and pointed him at some resources. He spun his wheels for weeks, and it turned out he was trying to get ChatGPT to teach him how to do it, but it would always give him wrong answers.

I eventually had to tell him, point blank, to stop using ChatGPT, read the articles, and ask me (or a teammate) if he needed help.
Why did I spend 45m watching an ad?
You don't want to produce... kilowatt class energy, you would want to offset the losses of running accessories directly off the driveshaft. Spinning an alternator takes energy. Spinning parts also have wear issues like bearings etc.

Secondly, in the Prius approach, it's about getting the engine to optimal temperature to reduce emissions and increase efficiency

>They hired the actor that did the voice months before they contacted SJ. The reaction on this site to the news that this story was false is kind of mindbending.

People lose their rational mind when it comes to people they hate (or the opposite I suppose). I don't care for Sam Altman, or OpenAI one way or another, so it was quite amusing to watch the absolute outrage the story generated, with people so certain about their views.
I was aware of some of this chronology, but not as much as you are, apparently.

So if you'd care to pass along some of the sources you've been drawing from, I'd be happy to give them a close read.

Some people want to self-host this technology. AI is very powerful, and not everyone wants that to be controlled by large corporations or institutions.
> Books, bracketed by bookends

Ah, yes, hence why we refer to them as the bookend.
N.b., an Aristotelian substance is such that the form of the integral whole is in every part so to speak. This distinguishes integral wholes or substances from accidental wholes, like machines where the parts are just so arranged so that they happen to enter into certain causal relations. But the formal cause is strictly accidental; in true substances, in integral wholes, a substantial form renders the thing a true unity. The causal relations don't just-so-happen to be there, they don't just happen to result in an effect by virtue of their circumstance; they are intrinsically ordered toward an end.

And, of course, when you learn something, universal principles are presupposed by anything we study. Metaphysics, for example, studies the first principles of being qua being, and so whatever is known in a thing that is universally true or true of the class, is true of everything else, or of the class.

Furthermore, much of our knowledge is analogical. Thus, when we learn a new thing, we may do so by analogy or we may notice analogies. And let us not forget the Logos in which (or Whom) all finds its analogical being. The effect resembles in some sense its cause, and all that exists stands in an analogical relation to its creating and sustaining cause, the Logos.
What's funny is that right as you were typing out your bullshit, an ATACMS strike took out a S400 battery in Donetsk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikgDkf4ATEo

This is the Block I ATACMS which stopped production in 1996 and is considered too old to be usable by the US Army itself. Mean while the Patriots have no issues taking out multiple "hypersonic" missiles, which are mostly just marketing bullshit.
Energy efficiency is nice, but capital efficiency is more important.

There are a lot of grids that have excess generation from solar or wind that drive prices very low on a routine basis. As long as the difference between the low and high price is enough, the question is more about capacity than efficiency, IMHO.

That other system seems mechanically complex, you've got to move sand through silos. This system seems a lot simpler, make a big box of sand/whatever, run heating elements through it, put modified solar cells on the outside, apply heat when power is cheap, draw power when power isn't cheap.

Might be able to do it at smaller scale too.
You make it sound like that's a bad thing. If you can get a job, hold it, and obey the law, why would it be important where you have been born?
Same, but a laptop. I can even code over SSH, but the weight ratio for laptop usage needs to be right.
To be frank, this is a terrible advice. I’m certain this person, given enough time, will come to the same conclusion as he/she is exposed to different projects and organizations.

As many posters here state, there are many instances where services are loosely coupled, developed by different team and/or at different time, and makes no sense to make into a monolith.

As you may not benefit from shoehorning a well-maintained monolith into a microservice, the opposite is true.
When you find yourself feeling so limited in valid rebuttals to use, it's OK to sometimes think "I agree, so this doesn't actually need a rebuttal" and just upvote someone without needing to comment with the whataboutisms.
Unless someone really complains loudly enough large orgs switch to a competitor, it's tech debt and not a bug they need to fix.
Open-source SDK for adding code interpreters to AI apps
To learn JS I started with canvas, and without any game dev experience, made a couple of cute little browser games. One is a galaga clone that, for the most part, works OK. The hard part is the projectile collisions. Instead of taking the position of your bullet now, and where it would be in the next time step, and seeing if it would intersect with the enemy hitboxes taken in the same way, I _only_ checked on the current timestep, which means your bullets can magically go around the enemies! Silly stuff. Maybe some day I'll go back and fix it.
>She said no. They went ahead anyway

This is where your post breaks down. Many people say they don't think the voice sounds like SJ. Others do. But it appears you've made up your mind that they deliberately emulated her voice?

I've tried a bunch of eink tablets (scribe, supernote, remarkable).
At the end of the day, I go back to just plain paper and ink, the advantages of digital just wasn't worth it. I can buy a quality notebook for $25 or less and it will last me a year. For the cost of this device that means I can get a stack of 30 of those notebooks which will last me most of the rest of my life. I doubt the daylight computer will have a 30 year service life.
Very promising. It would be super interesting to have an in-depth (when/if possible) understanding of LivePaper. If it is indeed "as eink but solving eink problems" I feel it could be adopted (licensed) from the industry in a blink.

In general, I dislike Android on eink devices but I have to admit I am talking about classic eink tablets. The main concern would be the battery life, that is usually always reduced in respect of custom linux based OS.

Pioneering new electronic paper technology is extremely underrated and important, kudos to you all for this!

This would be a killer feature to me, though admittedly is quite niche. If the hardware gets a GPS, the app can be taken care of :-)
One of problems with trying to discuss a word like anger, which has lots of meanings, is that people talk past each other, as many are doing in this discussion.

There are different kinds of anger. I have not doubt that some are useful, some are damaging, and some are both at the same time.

I think one kind of anger that can be particularly damaging is cited in the parent comment here. It's a chronic anger that was formed in childhood and accompanies a person through life looking for new threats, targets, and sources of outrage. I've known people holding that kind of anger, I've also been that person at least sometimes, and yes it's damaging to oneself and others. Profoundly maladaptive. A way to sabotage yourself, your relationships and your livelihood. That's a chronic anger.

But there are other forms of anger that might be momentary, and come up when something is going wrong that should be stopped. Maybe anger is the wrong term, but I'm talking about a sense of "this is wrong, and I'm going to intervene now." Sure, that can misfire, but it can also be useful and prevent a lot of harm.
Yup. Anybody that doesn't understand that most problems are complicated doesn't understand most problems.
We just hung up a large dry-erase one in the hallway. My wife has wanted one for awhile, and it's an excellent way to make sure that our child can add things to the calendar that are important to her, that she or we will otherwise forget about.

(For example, today's busy schedule includes climbing a tree with a neighbor friend at 11am, which is somewhat frivolous, but there have been things she's been upset about missing because she either didn't mention it to us, or we forgot to jot down in our calendars.)
Quantum Volume is poorly defined
If we can only use 10 quantum bits, the quantum volume is already 2^10 = 1024. We should use the magnitude number ( 10 ) rather than the “volume”: it’s much easier to understand and generates less confusion.

IBM defined quantum volume this way for marketing reasons AFAICT ( A quantum volume of 1 million sounds way more impressive than a quantum volume of 20 ).

It makes it so much harder to do actual research/development, though.
The author did provide an exception:

> Unless your specific use case demands the unique advantages of microservices, it is wiser to stick with a well-structured monolith.

The author also has a section in the article called “When should you consider using microservices?”.
Have you met the public? Fame is an acquired taste and more likely the lesser of evils.
There's an email that gets posted on HN periodically that says something like "To the chagrin of AI researchers, the best way to improve AI is to throw more computing power at it"

So yes we still need new ideas like transformers, but the real enabler of more and more powerful AI is more and more powerful computers
I feel really bad for him, that he had an addiction he couldn't quit and felt forced to hide.

If we hit an actual wall, then that could be the missing part of the unified theory, some boundary that needs to get applied to the equations of both that makes them explicitly inapplicable in the regimes where today we just observe they don't work.

Of course, we might also hit an "engineering" wall, where we don't have any explicit boundary, but it's just too hard to perform the experiments that would help us understand how these theories relate. That would mean that the current status quo will remain the best we can do - two separate theories which we know are wrong, but where for any experiment we can perform, one or the other predicts the results almost perfectly.
At this point it should be blatantly obvious. If it’s not your in the wrong job

"Forebruary is a wall calendar that you do not need to replace every year" — Hmm. When I had a wall calendar, I used it to write down upcoming events or tasks. So I needed to buy one calendar for each year I planned to do anything: if it's August 2025 and I'm already planning as far out as March 2026, then I need wall calendars for both 2025 and 2026, in order to have places to write what I'm doing. That is, I'd need to buy one calendar for each distinct year in which I had plans.

This minimalist calendar has space for only a single month. So in the August–March scenario, I'd need to buy eight separate calendars for August 2025, September, October, November, December, January 2026, February, and March, in order to have places to write down what I'm doing in those months. That is, I'd need to buy one calendar for each distinct month in which I have plans at a time. (Presumably I could use dry-erase markers and reuse a month's calendar as soon as it was in the past.)

The above is the geeky/theoretical interpretation. In practice, I don't think people would buy multiple of these; I think this just doesn't function as a calendar at all.

It could be useful to display in a bank, where customers need to know today's date and nothing else... except that the calendar offers no way to mark today's date! Not even a little magnetic ring or anything. A simple flip calendar (as banks already use) is superior.

It could be useful to display in a place of business, like a 19th-century clerk's office, where no employee would want to mark events on the communal calendar but it would still be useful to see at a glance "Next Monday, that's the 17th..." Unfortunately, suppose today is the 29th. Then next Monday is the... uh... We have two problems: not only can we not see dates in the next month, but the calendar doesn't even give us a hint about the number of days in this month! There's already a small genre of office comedy about things happening on "April 31st" or "September 31st"[1]; this calendar would exacerbate that problem to the point of being counterproductive to display at all.

This calendar design isn't even a "solution in search of a problem" — it's merely several additional problems with no familial resemblance at all to a solution.

> What a weird critique. American or not, if you don't have a car you're probably not in the target market for a CarThing

It wasn't about having a car or not. It was the assumption that if you have a higher income you are automatically willing to spend a sizeable chunk on it on a car. Not all people are as obsessed with cars as the average American.

I do pretty well for myself and I can think of a thousand things I'd rather spend my money on than on a car.
a fellow traveller I see. After getting robbed of over a thousand dollars in different early-product purchases that never materialized, I'm skeptical as well. OP has felt very honest to me, and their tech choices are completely much inline with what I would have done, so I'm inclined to believe them, but the more "in writing" the better.
This has been my exact experience with DDG. I tried Yandex when somebody posted on here that it had old-school style results, and it was true to a certain degree, but I'm not gonna use some Russian search engine. So I just literally stopped searching for things. The Internet mostly died, for me, when searching got bad; now it's just specific forums and websites that I already know about.

In my opinion, this was all done on purpose. They wanted to ruin free and open access to independent, distributed creations, and keep any traffic into a narrow funnel owned mostly by Black Rock, Vanguard Trust, and State Street Capital, with the eventual goal of frustrating people into purchasing licensed access to AI to get curated and censored access to limited information.
