This makes a point against the "CEO morning routine" kind of approach, but from my point of view, it is not that different from that perspective on life. It still talks about "proactively moving towards #1 or top 25%", "be so good they can't ignore you", "10x work", "something extraordinary" etc.

Take that direction if that's what makes you tick. I've decided that that's not how I want to live my life, quit a 'prestigious' position, left the competitive career, and I now work as a teacher with "10x personal satisfaction".

Without strong routines and habits my life would be a mess and I would still be working at McDonalds. With ADHD I need routines and habits to not fall into the abyss. Maybe it works for some people, but not me.

E: also I used all those habits and routines to achieve my own goals and run a business for a decade.
well, i read plenty about breathing techniques and training from various angles and also practice breath exercises where hyperventilation and breath holding play key roles. i never came across anybody claiming that holding your breath especially pre-fainting (which is essential when practicing apnoe diving - and btw you seem to confuse apnoe with sleep apnea?).

to add something of substance - here is a study that does not even find any "Link between Repeated Transient Chokes and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Related Effects" and that kind of asphyxiation is obviously much more extreme than holding your breath.

For quite a few in the industry, having to design a UI is a chore, not a core competency. They want to be able to go from "Here's a description of what my app does" to how humans use it and skip the work of having to lay out a usable 2D visual interface space efficiently and cleanly.

Consider it analogous to compilers; people want to just make the program, they don't want to translate the program to the actual symbols the machine can act upon by hand. This tech is that line of thinking applied in the other direction.

Good article, but one thing I'd like to add from my own experience, is that we interpret a difficulty in communication when people have different styles, when the problem sometimes is that the message itself is rejected regardless how we present it.

That is, a reason why people with similar communication styles understand each other is also that they pretty much have the same concepts and even conclusions in their mind, and they actually communicate very little new information to one another.

Failures in communication for me seem to be often on the listener side, and we keep telling people to communicate better, without spending the equal amount of effort on providing people with listening and comprehension skills.

Assuming that campaign donations are evenly distributed between democrats and republicans: https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2016/10/federal-employe...

I’ll add many federal employees are members of professional organizations. And in the last decade, professional organizations have become overtly political. And all of these are staffed mainly by democrats. Paul Clement, one of the leading Supreme Court advocates of our generation, left Kirkland, known as a conservative firm, over the firms opposition to second amendment cases: https://www.law.com/americanlawyer/2022/06/23/kirkland-ellis.... This is a firm that will not hesitate to represent the worst Russian oligarchs, mass polluters like BP, etc.

Another example is SFFA. A super-majority of the public opposes racial preferences in college admissions and hiring. But not a single prominent law firm authored an amicus brief in support of overturning affirmative action.

I disagree, as being able to earn BAT incentivizes fraud, and fraud protection cannot be done well without a significant loss of privacy.

There's no way to confirm that you've watched an ad, you can write a Python script that pretends to be the Brave browser and sends the right requests to their API, and there's no way to distinguish those two on their side. The easiest (if not the only) way to make this difficult is to require lots of tracking and fingerprinting, which is hard to emulate well with a custom script. This is one major reason why tracking is so crucial for the ad economy to work.
Oh, waaaahhhh. "The mechanism by which GOP blocked it was different from OUR mechanism. The proper way is to waste everyone's time by parading him in front of the Senate, belittling him and his accomplishments publicly, and then rejecting him."

There are only two reasons votes get held: they already know the result, or they want to make senators accountable on record. Either way, it was a waste of time for Garland.

If the document is a legally required disclosure (like a bank's fee schedule for example) then you need to grade that document directly rather than its source code. PDFs are horrible and there is a lot that can go wrong with making them between writing and publishing.
While it is an interesting quirk of history that we mainly think about computability hand-in-hand with the "halting" problem instead of Turing's symbol-printing, there are so many more interesting nuggets in the 1936 paper (like computational universality, the first ever programming bugs, etc). I do think the paper linked gets the nuances of attribution here correct.

A lot of special forces have been doing what we used to call "door kicking" in the last few wars. Lots of explosive breaches, firing weapons and throwing grenades indoors.

The right seems fairly interested in "space lasers" so perhaps if we just reframe solar to "space laser power" it'll help with acceptance? Very much tongue in cheek, however this has worked before. There's a company that collects old refrigerant that people have stored (mostly on farms and at mechanic shops). They specifically don't advertise it as recycling or a "green" initiative and instead promote it as a way to make some extra cash. There was a podcast about it a few years ago.

Yeah exactly. I don’t even think he’s right about how pivotal a lot of them bellwether events he cites are. If you don’t nail the punchline in your marketing you can change the punchline or the marketing. So it’s important but because it can be changed you might find yourself taking another path than “home run marketing” that is still very successful. For all he’s decrying hustle culture he seems very immured in it.
I'm a routine guy, so I'm biased, but I find myself agreeing with the values in this post, while feeling that a routing enables those values. For example,

How to Build EV Motors Without Rare Earth Elements
Again, your argument is ad hominem ("you don't understand") and not naming an actual problem but declaring that it's obvious to anyone who wants to look.

The AMD and the CUDA backend in pytorch are actually derived from the same code base. AMD compiles the CUDA code to its HIP interface (which is essentially a reimplementation of CUDA), and that's that. It's all upstreamed and so changes to the CUDA backend are tested against the AMD build.

If there is a problem with that strategy, then it's up to you to demonstrate it because the prima facie evidence is that it works: I can go to Azure and buy an AMD Instinct VM and run a Hugging Face model on that right now, with marginally more effort than it takes to run it on an nVidia VM.
Coincidentally I downloaded and tried using this just a while ago. I was trying to see if it can identify an Elsevier fingerprint between two pdfs. It can't, it only compares visible things.

How is the table of dialects constructed? It's obvious if two dialects are at 1, but what does it mean if they're at 0? They can't be mutually unintelligible, since that would make them different languages. I ask because the dialects spoken in Argentina and in Uruguay are practically identical, save for a few regional words. If the scale being used puts them at 0.35, then it makes me wonder about the usefulness of the scale.

That is the sneaky thing about rewrites. The "Ship of Theseus" rewrite is reasonably safe based on the article and what I could find of people sharing their experiences with rewrites. Fix what needs fixing, but swap in the newer better language/framework/whatever a piece at a time. It works!

People get in trouble when they decide to rewrite the whole thing. You might be right in this case, but I'm sure every person who began a doomed rewrite project felt the the benefits outweighed the risks.

Viewed in the rear view mirror of history, the Netscape rewrite was a good thing in a technical sense. As far as I understand it gave us the foundation for Firefox and the Gecko engine. It was just bad business in context because it let other browsers run laps around it while the rewrite proceeded. It let IE get a foothold that didn't shake for many years until Netscape became Firefox.

Rewriting the new browser in Rust would probably be similar from a technical POV. But from a business standpoint, we seem to be at an inflection point where a new browser might be able to enter in the cracks of discontent over sketchy AI features in Edge and the slow-boiling attempts to break ad blocking in Chrome. If they divert resources now to a rewrite, they could miss this opportunity to do to Chrome what Firefox did to IE.

It sounds like the plan is a Ship of Theseus rewrite anyway, so they'll get there in time without the risk of distraction.

The article mentions it, but I only learned recently that Bolivia did not used to be landlocked. Chile took Bolivia's coastline somewhat recently (late 1800s/early 1900s).

> The dispute began in 1879, when Chile invaded the Antofagasta port city on its northern border with Bolivia as part of a dispute over taxes. Within four years Chileans had redrawn the map of South America by taking almost 50,000 square miles of Bolivian territory, including its 250-mile coastline on the southern Pacific Ocean. Bolivia accepted this loss in 1904, when it signed a peace treaty with Chile in return for a promise of the “fullest and freest” commercial access to port.

The original paper [1] used LBFGS [2], it is quasi-second-order optimization algorithm.

[1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.19756 - "Both MLPs and KANs are trained with LBFGS for 1800 steps in total."
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-memory_BFGS

(Quasi-)Newton methods approximate learning rate using local curvature which gradient-based methods do not do.

The post relies on Tinygrad because it is familiar to author and author tinkers with batch size and learning rate, but not with optimizer itself.

I think that even line search for minimum on the direction of the batch gradient can provide most of the benefits of LBFGS. It is easy to implement.

People fall en masse in the productivity = output/time trap because they have no direction. We are all chasing money and status, and it shows. People we regard as great past personalities are considered great for the outcomes they obtained, not for 'griding/hustling' non stop.

I honestly think that the necessity to busy ourselves is a symptom of a deep malaise. Very few people even feel able to consider greater collective outcomes. We need to keep the wheel spinning and the creditors at bay.

10x work is code for doing the fun stuff and ignoring the grunt work. For every person focused on 10x there are a half-dozen cleaning up all the not-fun work they choose to ignore. Fun 10x work is the stuff that has 10x positive impacts, but ignores all the grunt work that has 100x negative impacts when not done properly. Finding a way to shoehorn the word "AI" into your next product launch: Fun. Talking to Microsoft legal department about the implications of using AI in your product: not fun.

It's definitely moderated in my later years, but I found I was an insufferable person until I started smoking cannabis in my 20s. I had one super nerdy friend and most people did not like me at all.

Doing drugs opened my eyes to how much my general anxiety and frustration with other people had made me intolerable.

After I started smoking regularly I became more personable to the degree that my career took off, I started having adult relationships, and my peer group grew enormously.

I don't really recommend it as a lifestyle but I think its good for everyone to unpeel the onion once in awhile.
