The normal approach to prove Thale's theorem should be induced from the property of central angle being twice of an inscribed angle that subtends the same arc. Since a diameter has central angle of 180 degrees, its corresponding inscribed angle should be half of 180, that is 90 degrees.

Is it trying to prove that a paper doesn't need to be any good to get published, or did I miss something? Genuinely interested: I skimmed through it and it seems like a hoax to me.
This sounds like a mutal consent sort of thing. Its like with football managers, normally the board is unhappy with the manager and the manager knows it and even agrees with it (to some extent) so rather being fired and having the animosity of it, they all agree things aren't working out and walk. Sounds similar here. YC basically implied you're spreading yourself thin so we think its best you pick one and it sounds like he agreed!
I read there was additional drama related to Sam leaving YC; unilaterally declaring himself Chairman of YC, including a YC blog announcement that was quickly deleted. [0]

Isn't that a good thing? This makes the all-out war between China and the US much less likely.
Agreed. Hard to say he was "fired" when he had a chance to stay if he decided to leave his other project. Like, "You are fired -- but you can stay if you want."
I mean this seriously. Why not both? I don’t see the problem with having multiple types of relationships with people, including sex. As long as everyone is on the same page (consensual, they know it’s casual, etc.)

Sorry for your loss and glad you’re doing better.
This has not been true for a long time.
I think that the split seems amicable, but from a 10k view “we had a convo telling Sam he couldn’t do both at once” leading to him leaving rhymes with a firing. Sometimes this stuff can be amicable!
Not OP and not necessarily in favour of blanket lower taxes:

Dramatically push up capital gains taxes on non-speculative investments like land ownership, housing and superannuation (capital movement must be slowed here)

Australia has too much unoptimised capital appreciating in these “non-functional” assets which should be moved into more “functional” investments

——————

I use “functional” in the sense that certain asset types have potentially emergent utility over others eg: investing a growing business or working-age person has a higher probability of high or non-linear growth over linearly appreciating assets like bonds, stocks or land.

Businesses and people “do” things invariant of their quantitative value, while stocks, land and bonds are just fancy ways of dressing up bearer bonds/instruments

Our economic system needs to reemphasise the importance of systems which provide utility over a baseline static capital to just syphon into the shortest path to profit

Something I've done different for this extension that I haven't done in the past:

- had an email waitlist that got some interest for months leading up to the actual release

- engaged with potential users in community channels (reddit/discord(s)/etc) to get early feedback and keep them in the loop

- have buttons in the profile dropdown menu within the extension for "Provide feedback" and "Leave a review"

All of these have made a big different, in general, to the overall process. I started doing this months before the extension was published.

Happy to answer any questions.

Waymo is basically unique in offering Level 4 Self Driving (hence this article) and they only do this in a small number of locations in the US, such as (parts of) Phoenix - so, yes, you're correct that in the UK, or indeed anywhere outside of those few locations, there aren't real "Self Driving" cars.

You won't know if people have Level 3 "Self Driving" cars because unlike Level 4, the Level 3 cars always have a human sat in the driving seat, it's just that maybe the human isn't paying attention and maybe the car is driving anyway. It may be difficult to gauge (beyond guessing) how many people you see are bad drivers and how many aren't actually driving at all under L3...

L1 (the machine does some of the work but a human driver is always doing much of the driving) is certainly something you see and don't even think about. Intelligent Cruise control (ie it won't smack into the car ahead but instead slow down) on a motorway, maybe automatic lane keeping on somebody's fancier or newer car, it's not "Self driving" as you'd understand it, but it's something.

The way these "Levels" work is L3 to L4 is the point where we transition from "The human is legally driving but the machine is offering more and more assistance" to "The machine is legally driving and the human is asked less and less often to do anything at all". As a result a person who is literally blind and thus couldn't possible drive the car or obtain a license to do so - can (and they do) use a Waymo, just like they'd use an Uber, but they cannot do the same with Tesla "Full Self Driving".
My $0.02 here:

GraphQL makes sense only at a certain scale when you have multiple APIs built by multiple teams that need to be exposed as a single endpoint. GraphQL as an API or APIs is the perfect use case and the one that it was designed for.

In every other case, REST is harder to do wrong and easier to do right. The tooling for it is widely supported and well known. Every aspect of building an easy to use, easy to own, easy to scale API is -- well -- just easier with REST.

I have seen more than a few small, 4-8 person engineering teams reach for GraphQL and then wonder why every cycle starts feeling slow. In a 4-8 person team, the devs are usually working full stack and if not, then they are working closely enough that having a highly flexible API layer servicing the front-end doesn't make any sense since it's either the same devs or they're one Slack ping away from getting the right shape from the backend in one simple `GET`.

Like the author, I've found that the story with OpenAPI nowadays is really good. I have a short writeup here with .NET that shows hot re-generation of the API into a TypeScript definition that can be used with React, Vue, or your framework of choice: https://chrlschn.dev/blog/2023/10/end-to-end-type-safety-wit...

This workflow is super productive and perfect for small teams working full stack; far easier than getting GQL right.
Well, people sure do talk about him, he was on point there. That's what we're doing now!

Crows Rival Human Toddlers in Counting Skills
"The increasing amount of time Altman spent at OpenAI riled longtime partners at Y Combinator, who began losing faith in him as a leader. The firm’s leaders asked him to resign, and he left as president in March 2019.
Graham said it was his wife’s doing. “If anyone ‘fired’ Sam, it was Jessica, not me,” he said. “But it would be wrong to use the word ‘fired’ because he agreed immediately.”
Jessica Livingston said her husband was correct.
To smooth his exit, Altman proposed he move from president to chairman. He pre-emptively published a blog post on the firm’s website announcing the change. But the firm’s partnership had never agreed, and the announcement was later scrubbed from the post.
For years, even some of Altman’s closest associates—including Peter Thiel, Altman’s first backer for Hydrazine—didn’t know the circumstances behind Altman’s departure. "

I think the fact he had to be told this by the board is more telling here. It's pretty obvious that YC was told about Altman becoming CEO of the for-profit OpenAI at the same time everyone else was told about it.

Effectively, they gave him an ultimatum: stay at YC and drop that CEO offer or leave. Sure, it's dressed up in nicer words to protect Altman's dignity (which is fine, in terms of "this is bad" it's pretty low, so preserving his dignity makes sense), but that's still what it is. The ultimatum is obviously not a realistic one - be beholden to the board or become your own chief while it's blatantly clear where his ambitions lie, so effectively it's a firing.
Ask HN: Need help transitioning out of Software Engineering please
Hi everyone! It has been many years now since I’ve felt completely lost in my career direction. I work as a backend software engineer and want to transition out of it. I’m feeling quite hopeless at this point. I grew up lower middle class so until now I’ve spent my life just thinking of money and never ever asked myself what I like. I now realize that I cannot spend the rest of my life feeling miserable on the job just for the money so I want to transition into something else, but I don’t know what. I want to switch to something that aligns with my tech background and strengths. What other jobs can I transition into where I can leverage my strengths and background?

Professional background:

- Bachelors + Masters all in Computer Science
- 10 years of experience all in FAANG level company
- Senior software engineer level. Decided to not go further as I was no longer interested in going further down this path
- All experience is in backend development with just a little bit of frontend work
- I’m a good engineer, but nothing like some tech genius from Harvard

Things I like

- I like numbers (personal finance, stocks, budgeting). In college I liked Algorithms and Data Structures and the general nature of efficient problem solving through algorithms. I’m quite comfortable with math in general.
- I like to socialize and have good skills in terms of making friends and getting along with people. I like to work together with a team and not work in isolation. (I’m NOT good at leadership kind of roles or sales)

Things I do not like

- Plumbing work of backend software engineering. Doing tasks like oncall, setting up monitoring, migration projects, etc. Most of the work seems to be debugging because something is not working. Debugging code triggers my anxiety through the roof.

Strengths

- I do good quality research. I can work with very little information and am quite independent in my work
- Good at analysis, especially thinking of second/third order consequences about decisions. I’m not reckless in decision making.
- Good at socializing and getting along with people

Weaknesses

- Relatively higher on the neuroticism spectrum. (Anxiety, general discomfort, overthinking). I do not do well in fast paced / chaotic environments due to it as I’m prone to taking stress easily. It’s also why I do not think I’m suitable for any kind of leadership role.

If you need any more information about my background, please let me know. I’m happy to share more information. My goal is to find a list of potential jobs that I can try to see if what can potentially be a fulfilling job for me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Any input that you provide has the potential to completely change my life for good and I will be forever grateful.

Corporations invested in carbon offsets that were 'likely junk', analysis says
Before everyone shouts that the correlation may be spurious, I would like to say that some drugs (e.g. Parkinson's disease drugs), can have significant psychological side-effects, like increasing impulsivity and reducing risk aversion for those who experience them. People leave their spouses, buy expensive cars, get tattoos, and yes, leave their jobs to pursue entrepreneurship.

My point is that it's not far fetch to link infection to impulse, cause infection may change the chemical functioning of the brain.

> Unlike Laravel and Symfony, WordPress doesn't support the worker mode of FrankenPHP (yet?), so there are not many benefits in terms of performance (except the ability to preload assets using 103 Early Hints, which can reduce the latency of a page load by 30%).

This part is clear for me, but thank you for mentioning HTTP 103 too. I will not state for sure, but in my blurry memory, FPHP (FrankenPHP) was _slower_ than Apache+mod_php in that tests. But again, I won't say for sure, I just remember I was totally impressed as was expecting otherwise - much likely some subtle differences in setup on my side. If/when I have more precise info - I may ping you.

> That being said, FrankenPHP makes it easy to enable HTTP cache with WordPress and simplifies the deployment story. There is a dedicated project for WordPress and FrankenPHP, that comes with a built-in HTTP cache tailored for WordPress (using the Souin Go library): https://github.com/StephenMiracle/frankenwp

Thank you, have not seen that yet - may get idea or two from it. At glance, they just do naive `BYPASS_PATH_PREFIX` handling and that's all.

Beyond tests, I of course do prefer Nginx over Caddy and "simplifies the deployment story" doesn't resonate with my needs much yet - one of that things may change of course.
In your dream maybe
I ran a multi-million dollar a year non-profit and had a full-time job. It's not unusual to chair or "run" a non-profit and have a regular job, non-profits are actually set up to make this easy to do. If that non-profit somehow mystically turned into a for-profit enterprise, for a multitude of reasons (some less obvious) I would have clearly had to pick one or the other. If said non-profit had commercialized transformer as a service, I'd have quit DigitalOcean (double so if I was well vested).

Just to make it fair with the situation: I honestly don't know if I would have proactively quit one or the other. Depending on the workloads, I may very well have tried to moonlight both for a while, I'm unsure.

I don't think this tweet by Paul is weird at all.
ok, it's easy for you to understand. For some other people, me for example, not that easy. The question is also, how is is possible. So, I don't expect a detailed explanation or a step-by-step howTo but do you have any hints?
> Is it trying to prove that a paper doesn't need to be any good to get published, or did I miss something?

That was already proven a couple of years ago.

Person A to person B: "Hey I love you, please stay with me but you have to choose between me and person C"

Person B: "okay I choose person C, bye"

Person B left

---

Contrast with:

Person A to person B: "I'm leaving you because you have a relationship with person C"

Person A left

---

It's really not complicated, and I seriously don't understand why so many people here don't get it... whether you're fired or resigning, and whether you're the person leaving or the person being left, depends on who has the agency. If you're making the choice, you're resigning. If you have no say, you're being fired.

People leave their jobs all the time because their job requires something from them that they don't want to give. That's not being fired, that's resigning. (If the job requires something which you're unable to give, such as if you're doing as good of a job as you can reasonably do but your employer requires you do better still and you're just not good enough, then you don't have the agency; you're being fired.)

Now, I'm done with this conversation, if you have a counter argument then try to think hard about what I would say in response. You can handle both sides of this conversation from here. I have been clear enough.
> Stackoverflow is strict and pedantic to the point of being very unfriendly to newbies

at what point do you stop being a newbie? I have been on SO for 14 years and have found "lately" or the last five or so years to be extraordinarily unfriendly. I am in the middle of solving a complex problem so I posit a question but it's stripped to bare bones to make it easier to answer -- and the answer is almost always is not what I seek but instead "why are you doing this". Aaaaargh. I would need to post War & Peace to make you understand why so I just go and delete the question when this happens which is too often. Example: https://stackoverflow.com/q/77202800/308851 lots of comments asking why I am doing this were deleted but downvote remains. I kept this one up for whatever reason although downvotes usually are enough to make me delete a question.

My advice: if you can't help then stay away from the question. Alas, this likely won't reach the hopped-on-SO-power idiots but it's worth a try.

Milvus Lite: The Lightweight Version of Milvus
1990s: just exploring, finding something cool on an FTP server

early 2000s: micro communities of friends and strangers visiting and commenting on each other's blogs
I found the Internet already at the Polytechnic at the turn of the millennium, but it was the IRC, there were web chats, a lot of interesting independent resources from enthusiasts. Now I’m doing this, but I see that those who are nostalgic for those times mostly only talk about them, few people make pages in HTML3.2 and use clean code. I recently created a CMS that integrates both modern computers and those that existed then, you can administer the site even from an 8086 computer running DOS (I tried to do this, I can even show screenshots, but here answers with a link seem to be prohibited). I published CMS on various platforms, about a hundred platforms, on Github the HamsterCMS has already collected 35 stars, and I continue to develop it.
A friend and I set up hosting where you can place such pages, the system is already pre-installed, you go to the admin panel and just create pages by choosing a template, and there are already half a hundred different templates. There is an imitation for retro, and simply adapted for Internet Explorer 5, and the Links browser for DOS.
we are doing a lot to revive that Internet, and we want it to coexist with the modern one, and not go down in history as just screenshots on Wikipedia

I don't think strenholme is saying that those casual relationships are morally wrong, but that they're only facsimiles of the connection found in a deep and long relationship (especially one formed when young), and that pursuing facsimiles maybe brings you close enough to the original that you keep pursuing, but not close enough to ever approximate the original, and if what you miss is the original, then this is not a path to satisfaction.
I'm not saying he's technically fired or not (i think "fired" is a term with a law-definition).

I'm saying that he prolly has a deal at OpenAI with some stock and a good/bad leaver agreement, and a salary. Getting fired in this cases is not the same as firing someone who has zero stock and needs the jobs to put food on the table.

It just does not carry the same weight for me, regardless of the lawful definition.
If you use the std lib you can write a simple web app in Go as well in few lines of code?

The only difference would be a little bit of boilerplate for setting up application state (a few lines) and the necessary type definitions, which you can avoid with PHP if you just deal in "arrays" instead of classes. But I don't think the LOC would explode for Go.

My big counterpoint is this however:

I would wager for a beginner of either languages, it's much more straight forward to get a server running with Go than with PHP/Apache. There's no configuration, you don't need to install multiple things, you don't need to learn about a thousand footguns, error handling is more streamlined and obvious and you wouldn't have version issues and get showered in deprecation warnings down the line. And even though the PHP docs are quite extensive and useful, they are not on the same level as authoritative Go docs and guides. PHP has three advantages over Go in terms of convenience and ease of use: statelessness, little bit easier to deploy (once set up) and very cheap, easy to use hosting products available.
> I can see why Feynman became sexually promiscuous afterwards, undoubtedly to numb the pain of losing his wife; seduction allowed him to have a form of that connection, albeit without the depth and love of what he had with his wife.

He married again in 1952 and divorced in 1958 (and married again a couple of years later).

I don't know if sexual promiscuity was part of the divorce complaint but apparently this fragment was in it: "He begins working calculus problems in his head as soon as he awakens. He did calculus while driving in his car, while sitting in the living room, and while lying in bed at night."
