I want to add another perspective here. The app design and distractions can be viewed as an absolutely bad thing, but tbh life may be not that great for some (and that’s also by design, don’t tell me everyone’s going to be .1%).

What is actually bad is ads. If you turn off ads, then “distraction” may be seen just as “you made it as a biological entity, you have decent food, home, internet with no ads and lots of time”. I’m neither poor, lone, sad, nor successful, popular or happy by local standards, so I think there’s no personal bias in evaluating this lifestyle. Life is really slow and boring, everything takes hours and unwanted interaction or lots of money, and the internet and apps are nice replacement. You just have to reflect on what you consume and manage your feeds, groups and interests. Same applies to life, so it’s not that different. But for some reason life often gets highlighted as something natural (go get it) and the internet as something making you a sheep. Well, depending on where you live, streets and places can also try to turn you into cattle.

Managing your internet life is doable. Don’t hesitate to dislike good content you don’t want. Clean/clear your history when stuck, or redo accounts. Don’t use only a couple of platforms, always research. Take breaks from platforms, not from the internet.

So my list is:

- remove ads by any means

- don’t tolerate ads

- manage your feeds

- reflect on your state through hours, days and weeks of activity

- learn basic eyes-shoulders-torso gymnastics and use these regularly

That’s probably it. You may think it’s a bad advice, but it is not an advice. It’s important to learn about yourself and accept what you are, not what some stereotype tells you should be. If you are a lifer, go with it and skip this.

> that doesn't mean we should try to replace every language with English

Where did I say that everyone should speak only English? I do not care what language people speak.

> Are you trying to make a point or..?

Why are you being unkind? Or hostile, or whatever this is?

I was asking a question. I understand that people think they will lose something if they speak a different language. My native language is not the same as any of my ancestors from just a few generations ago, and I want to know what difference it makes?
Oh no, the JV where china owns 51% is going to go bankrupt.

> The market is already saturated by them

there's market share to take from Chinese companies elsewhere since they are going to be tarriffed everywhere else.

> These companies will instantly loose a very significant amount of revenue and loose access to a big market.

You are missing the significant market being opened up and protected via tarrifs where China companies need to pull from. That's larger then China market
In larger companies, and, specifically, bigger projects, systems tend to have multiple ML components, and those are usually a mix of large NN models and more classical (ML) algorithms, so you end up tweaking multiple parts at once.
In my case optimising for such systems is ~90% of the work. For instance, can I make the model lighter or go faster and keep the performance? Or, can I make it go faster? Loss change, pruning, quantisation, dataset optimisation etc. -- most of the time I'm testing out those options & tweaking parameters.
There is of course the deployment part, but this one is usually a quickie if your team has specific processes/pipelines for this. There's a checklist of what you must do while deploying, along with cost targets.

In my case, there are established processes and designated teams for cleaning & collecting data, but you still do a part of it yourself to provide guidelines. So, even though data is always a perpetual problem, I can shed off most of that boring stuff.

Ah, and of course you're not a real engineer if you don't spend at least 1-2% of your time explaining to other people (surprisingly often to a technical staff, but not ML-oriented) why doing X is a really bad idea. Or, just explaining how ML systems work with ill-fitted metaphors.
This just means resigning yourself to a slow death. If you can't innovate, you will cease to exist soon anyways.

What the EU car makers need is the competition, to actually stay continually ahead.
BMW, EV, and Seriously - that's something I can't agree. I see the opposit. They are lagging behind technologically. They put their stakes on conventional cars and didn't invest much in EV for a long time.
I agree about diversity in languages being a good thing. I also see minor languages gradually dying out.

First languages do change with time so it does happen, and it can be induced to happen. My grandparents all spoke English as a first language, but if you go back a few more generations only one of my great (or possibly great great) grandparents ancestors would have done.

This just means giving up. And admitting that you can't compete.
Don't know if I'd give away 1 million.
Bikes were not meant to be $1000+. Get a cheap one and set aside a monthly amount for replacing it. Don't get insurance on it. Get into an accident? You should already have health insurance to cover it.
No, I'm not wrong, I just don't like relying on "obvious" statements like "5 senses are better than 4". We can't know for sure what was "better" until the human race experiment is finished (and then we won't know either obviously).

Consider this: hereditary autoimmune diseases are usually seen as a disadvantage. However they were a huge advantage during the bubonic plague in Europe, increasing the chances of survival by estimated 40% [1]

If we manage to eradicate these disadvantageous genes we may not survive the next pandemic. I don't have the knowledge to predict whether deafness genes or some other property entangled with them will be advantageous 10000 years from now and neither do you. That's all. Now you can enjoy listening to music all you like, it's just beyond the point.

No, the cost of a "jackpot" in life insurance is the premium plus literal life or limb. Only looking at the premium is penny wise, pound foolish. If you don't have the insurance and you die, your estate is out a million dollars because you skimped a few thousand.
hopefully we will be able to buy €10,000 EV such as BYD Seagull in the UK - otherwise, as seems most likely, we will stupidly follow EU / US tariffs, “kill” the non existent UK car manufacturers (Tata, Renault Nissan, Ford, GM) and give up on a way to go net zero affordably - ie the worst of both worlds [no doubt the chinese would happily invest in UK onshore screwdriver factories maybe without the massive state subsidies that the EU makers demand
Being a long time Mac user, I really tried to make Ubuntu my daily driver, as most of my homelab/server projects were on Debian linux. But, after "death by a thousand micro cuts", I gave up.

My current "equilibrium" that works well is Mac for my desktops and laptops, and Linux for all my other systems in my homelab (Plex server, NAS, app servers, touch controls for home automation, home surveillance systems, etc).

As long as the Linux track pad experience remains crappy, I doubt I will ever move over to Linux as my primary desktop.
Adaptability for climate change
Easy to say when not only is it not happening to you but you haven't spent years engaging with the legal process and waiting for the estate to try and make sure you can't have it. The possibility of winning a jackpot would grow on you, you'd start to imagine what it would be like to keep it and the brothers, being your adversaries, would look less deserving than they do to an outsider.
Probably your browser. Japanese, Spanish and Russian works, the others are grayed out.
I always use Linux desktops.

However, if looking for a laptop Macbooks are just so much better built and the M series have such superior battery life it would be insane to use anything else in my opinion.

Maybe they were I don' remember exactly, but you also have to put the price in the context of that era, when oscilloscopes were only available form the established manufacturers costing thousands of $, and before the era of community FOSS HW designs enabling devs to pool their knowledge for free.

So even 500$ for a high quality hobbyist USB scope with good SW was considered affordable and definitely not overpriced. 500$ price was actually very disruptive to the established scope industry.

And developing those 500 scopes and SW at western wages, doesn't come cheap, and since the SW was free, the only way to recoup the R&D and turn a profit was through the margins on HW sales
>Please. The German car industry has also been flushed with billions in state subsides, especially since covid.

Can you name specific numbers? I haven't found anything except for VW paying subsidies for EVs from their own pockets.

I think you got the situation reversed. VW, BMW, Mercedes are paying massive amounts of taxes, they and other large companies subsidize Germany, not the other way around.
Fingerprinting VPNs with Custom Router Firmware [pdf]
IIRC the more serious proposals for a global time scheme deliberately abandon the old 24:60:60 so that daylight expectations, locally as they would be, would have to be re-learned anyways. Up to that point that doesn't sound that bad to me. But where i don't see any chance is durations, how many seconds/minutes/hours. I suspect that a change to duration units would be even harder to adapt to than metrification of lengths.

Maybe you do. I don't.

But you're not the only one misusing RSS. One of the things Larry Page said when he shut down Google Reader was that getting to the end of the RSS feed is like getting to the end of the Internet, and called RSS users "irrational".

Clearly Larry Page didn't understand RSS. If you can't get to the end of your RSS feed over the proverbial daily coffee, then you're using it wrong. And don't dismiss an entire technology just because you don't understand it.

Both reddit and hackernews have feeds. Nobody should be putting those feeds into their RSS reader.
> Everywhere I go in the world, old shit is different, but modern shit is depressingly the same, or really similar anyway.

That seems like a very reductive take. Of course trends and culture is more global since we now communicate globally, but there are definitely regional cultures and values and those are expressed many different ways.

If I travel from my small european city to a city in the american midwest or a city in nigeria that are going to be massive differences regardless if the teens are doing the same tiktok dance or whatever metric of homogenization you pick. But in all of those places I almost everyone I will meet can speak english.
Waiting for PostgreSQL 14: SEARCH and CYCLE clauses (2021)
Great to see the updated docs.
actually I see this the other way around. Doctors should be paragons of compassion and empathy, able to anticipate and answer any questions their patients have. It's not an academic role, it's not the kind of thing you can train 10 years for at school. In fact, the current rigorous training regime for doctor's probably acts to filter out empathic and compassionate people, or just those qualities out of them.

Why shouldn't doctors be trained in "how to use MedGPT" and "when to trust it and when not to" and keep all their emotional faculties intact for their career? I'd rather see a doctor who understood what I'm going through and had to ask the machine for deeper insight, than a doctor that already has the answer but acts like a machine.
Restaurants are having their biggest year
I don’t think I can answer because again I think I would not put myself in that position.

I am going to retreat from this argument because this entire topic has me questioning my planned career change away from development towards training.

If this is what people think about human teachers, what at all is the point?
GFWeb: Measuring the Great Firewall's Web Censorship at Scale [pdf]
Closest you can realistically get in current compilers is adding some no-op asm statement "modifying" some subexpression as an "optimization barrier". e.g.

__asm__("" : "=r"(x) : "0"(x));

to make the optimizer unable to preserve known properties of "x" from before to after this line. Though this requires knowing the assembly register constraint to use ("r" here for a GPR), and can inhibit some other optimizations. (do note that this still allows dead code elimination and common subexpression elimination; "asm volatile" prevents these too)

>>Hm I don't follow. Could you please define "expected value in money terms" vs "expected value in utility of money terms"

Imagine you have $10k to your name and flip a coin for $1k.
Your expected value in money terms is $9k * 0.5 + $11k * 0.5.
Your expected value in utility terms is: u($9k) * 0.5 + u($11k) * 0.5 where u is a function that tells you how much worth you get from money. See wikipedia link for some explanation (although I think the articles are over-complicated and don't convey the point in clear way):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_utility#Law_of_Dimini...

The key point is that utility is concave (a coin flip for any amount has negative utility) which is obvious when you think about it (better to be a millionaire than flip a coin to be busted or have 2 million net worth) but maybe not something most people think when making everyday decisions.
>more industrial infrastructure in EU serving global market

What? No EU companies will serve any kind of global market. That is the point of Tarifs. The companies will suffocate and loose any kind of actual global presence.
I suppose it depends.

If this person had intentionally done this to my benefit over their children and it was current then sure I'd take the money.

But if it's a 50 years old out of date commitment to a life long gone and there are other genuinely more deserving in terms of being actually children then yeah I'd give it to them.

I'd just see it as a kind of a bank error. If the bank drops 1 million bucks into your account what would you do? I'd give it back. There have been cases reported of this in Australia where people do spend the money that the bank inadvertently puts in their account - I find that hard to understand. Actually I find it easy to understand but disappointing that people are so willing to do the crime just because its offered to them easy. Not suggested that in the case of this will it would be a crime, just suggesting that there's a right thing to do.

And I have done stuff like that. About 30 years ago I got paid about $7,000 for a software job by a client then got paid a second time. I just called em up and gave it back.
You have batteries for the short term and power to gas for the long term.
Yeah, only a tiny proportion of a multitude of roads that people would be likely to consider high streets near me in South London has High Street in the name.

It's also a very difficult concept to quantify, because depending on what scale you're thinking at a whole range of roads may or may not qualify.
According to the article, Altman is a donor to the school. And this former Altman teacher is now the head of the school. I assume they're still on talking terms.

Generally, I'd agree.
> but you haven't spent years engaging with the legal process and waiting for the estate to try and make sure you can't have it

I mean in the proposed alternative that wouldn't happen because you would tell them "hey I think this is a mistake, i think he just forgot to update the beneficiary". You only have the years of legal process where you decide that you should keep the money.
Making everyone speak English should not happen!

We need to understand that the language you are able to think in - limits your thinking.

Some languages have things you cannot translate into English.

These non translateable concepts do not exist in the Western world view point.

If only I was rich. I'm not. As the other commenter says, doing the right thing isn't about money. Integrity is doing the right thing even when no-one is looking.
It doesn't really matter much if you have a million dollars or a million dollar house (+/- liquidity of assets but this is not really important for the discussion).

>>Gambling is seen as immoral because it's about extending your exchange value capabilities

Why would extending your exchange value capabilities would be seen as immoral? It sounds good to me. I think you are missing the point.
Well, it will never achieve the economy of scale it had. So it will always be more expensive.

I recommend the work of Michael Pettis, his views are becoming mainstream in the West and economists are increasingly supportive of these tariffs.

China consumes less than it produces, they essentially give their workers less than what they produce. This helps Chinese manufacturers and Western consumers, but it harms Western manufacturers. Once Western manufacturers get destroyed, it may be too expensive to rebuild them and make them catch up with current Chinese technology.
Right, and it also gave us a strong desire for the opposite sex. So if you draw the line based on this principle then gayness and deafness will fall on the same side of this line, whichever side it is.

Hence I write that the initial comment making the distinction between gayness being obviously OK and deafness being obviously not OK, look arbitrary to me. This division is cultural.
Well, then ex girlfriend would be the one who legitimately won the lottery.
Show HN: Fluent AI Localization Editor
I built a tool to help me translate project fluent localization files. And because it is 2024, of course it uses OpenAI to help with the translations.

This was a 2 weekend project and I decided to just put it out there and see what happens. It's all open source if you wish to modify it or contribute back: jillesvangurp/fluent-ai.

Of course the tool itself is localized and you can load the ftl files from the tool if you want to play around a bit. You'll need an OpenAI key for using the AI part. But even as a translation editor, it's useful.

It's all browser based and there is no server component (other than OpenAI). And fair warning: it's all kotlin-js which might not be everybody's cup of tea.

There probably are bugs and of course while generally fine, OpenAI translations aren't flawless.

There is a lot of potential for other features. I would love to get some feedback on this.
> Speaking English

That’s the opposite of what we should do. If a plant monoculture is susceptible to diseases, then a language monoculture is susceptible to mind-viruses. What would the world look like now if every country spoke German in 1933?
No it is the price we pay for doing business with a publicly listed entity, which in some way must find a way to make more profit than last year. Not break even, not just make profit, it must make more profit. At some point that is directly affecting users.

If you'd like, you can also view that you're being milked for money and IP because there is no alternative you'd like to try.

TLDR: A person named a girlfriend as a retirement plan beneficiary. They later broke up, he had another girlfriend, they eventually also broke up, and 10 years after the second breakup he died single and childless.

His brothers want money to go to estate (brothers), but the beneficiary form trumped estate (as it should).

It is not clear from reading the post what the account owner wanted. It is possible he just didn't care who gets the money after he died.

The advice makes sense though -- if you want specific beneficiaries, name them on your accounts.
Fundamentally both "gambling" and "insurance" are about trading a stream of small guaranteed payments for a chance at receiving a large payment. More generally, it's about trading risk. In insurance the risk is transferred to the insurance company; in gambling the risk is trasnferred to the gambler.

They're precisely the same transaction, just packaged in different ways, and with tons of overlap. What differs is the participants.

Individuals don't tend to want or need a lot of risk, so a transaction where risk is transferred from an individual to a large company (like an insurance company) is generally good, and one where risk is transferred from a large company (like a casino) to an individual is generally bad.
