Finding a woman is like finding a job--it's a numbers game. The more you put yourself out there, the more likely you are to find someone who's a good fit for you. Life is not a movie. You are not going to bump into your soulmate in the dry goods section at Whole Foods. So get on all the apps. Do speed dating. Put yourself out there. Accept the constant, crushing pain of rejection as the cost of doing business. Just like in a job hunt, you've got to desensitize yourself to rejection, secure in the knowledge that every 'no' gets you closer to the inevitable 'yes'.

You've also got to be be brutally honest with yourself about your prospects.

Pretend for a moment that mate desirability is objective and quantifiable, and that we've got every available woman in your area charted on a bell curve of desirability. The top 0.01% will say NO to you every time, because they're looking for a male in the top 0.01% of desirability (i.e. Gavin Newsome lookin' motherfuckers with Marth's Vineyard money). Meanwhile, the bottom 0.01% will say YES every time, because you're a HUGE catch from their perspective. Somewhere in the middle are many, many women who would be interested in you.

If you're struggling to find women who are interested in you, the cause is likely either A) not searching in earnest, or B) you're over-estimating your own desirability, and thus fishing in unproductive waters.
"I’ve heard various estimates from the Ukrainians themselves that any given drone typically has a life span of about four weeks."

Maybe if referring to the Mavic scouts or bombers... Because the FPVs and Cessna-based drones have a lifetime based on mission duration. They have an outsized impact, however. I also must say that expensive gear from Anduuril is a drop in the bucket compared to homegrown sea and air drone assets. It has become a diy drone war through and through. Nothing like 2022.
> ...manually curate a high-quality (consistent) text corpus based on undisputed, well curated wikipedia articles and battle tested scientific literature.

This assumption is based on the mistaken assumption that science is about objective truth.

It is confusing the map for the territory. Scientific models are intended to be useful, not perfect.

Statistical learning, vs symbolic learning is about existential quantification vs universal quantification respectively.

All models are wrong some are useful, this applies to even the most unreasonably accurate versions like QFT and GR.

Spherical cows, no matter how useful are hotly debated outside of the didactic half truths of low level courses.

The corpus that the above seeks doesn't exist in academic circles, only in popular science where people don't see that practical, useful models are far more important that 'correct' ones.
I really wish that the Android version of this wouldn't crash all the time.

> Thursday, the auto maker announced a third North American assembly plant to meet commercial demand for F-series Super Duty trucks.

> It’s another sign that Ford’s commercial business is healthy. Pro is Ford’s star business segment, earning $3 billion in operating profit in the first quarter, while the traditional car business saw a $900 million profit, and the Model e electric-vehicle business lost $1.3 billion.

It is Ford's commercial segment that is really driving their success in selling these vehicles.
For the same reason they tie their phone calling to their mobile service provider.

I don't like tying communications to phone numbers either because that means you need phone service to communicate, but that ship has sailed, and there are many people who barely use email at all.

Good to know, although this is targeting cheaper API use for specific applications in which a second-tier model is sufficient. Note however that according to the LMSYS Leaderboard, GPT-4o rates slightly higher than Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

I think the emphasis was on simple affinity for certain skills and their how society prices this.

Someone who does not have the luck (genetic, cultural or institutional or otherwise external) to develop so a skill so fundamental (and for her current job critical) and as evidenced by this story will face a long list of adversities at virtually no fault of theirs.

Social rewards are very non-linear. (And mostly because it is the naturally optimal heuristic. Help those close to you, distrust strangers, and watch out for freeloaders. All this aggregated over society is so powerful, and feels so natural that it usually takes a concerted effort of the majority of the people to try to even get it recognized.)
Yes, this is called longevity escape velocity, except this is not quite how aging works. The organism wants to destroy itself. It's part of the developmental program that starts with conception but eventually turns self-destructive. Trying to use the modern medical approach, where the body is assisted with what it wants to do anyway, is going to be an uphill battle.

More often, if there is a conflict between the two it's because a paradigm is wrong. Form and function go together. Apple's philosophy embraces this; its praxis is variable.

And a true, completely libre kernel wouldn't have been used by anyone. DKMS exists for a reason, it's a good, non dogmatic compromise. Linux makes a lot of those compromises that make it easier to use in/with proprietary environments.
lol I assumed you were referencing preparation for civil war, and had lots of things to say! If you know that any war will be waged by your nation state, then any male under 40 is kinda at the whims of that nation state, ultimately. That said, assuming you’re in Europe or America, it would take a massive shakeup to start drafting people into the infantry again, especially anyone with a useful degree.

Practically speaking, if you’re still seriously worried, take a look at contractor jobs for the DOD! What they need now is probably what they’ll need during the war:

- tech buzzwords: C/C++, embedded programming, static code checking, data pipelines in general

- industry buzzwords: satellite ground resource management / telemetry, tracking, and control (GRM/TTC), Command and Control (C2), signals intelligence (SIGINT), bombs
Ask HN: How do you remember hacks about yourself?
Over time, I've learned a lot about myself. Some examples might be:

* What actions help me emerge from negative moods

* How I can best navigate specific scenarios at work

* What happens if I don't get sunshine a handful of days a week

I'm being general above, but I have some pretty specific personal hacks for navigating life.

The problem is how to remember and access them at the time of need! Sometimes I can be pro-active, but many times it's a reactive scenario where I need to recall that mindset X is often a result of Y and I can fix it by doing Z.

Do you have lists of personal hacks like this? How do you remember them when you need them? Are you more pro-active or re-active? Do you have a literal list in a document? Do you use reminders of some kind?
Appreciate this feedback, thanks so much for sharing!

The tagline clearly doesn't say what we want here, but the idea is that we are a framework that sits on top of IaC tools like the ones listed above, and makes them easier to use. Under the hood, cnc uses terraform/opentofu to actually manage infra, the cnc layer adds new concepts like environments onto those tools as well as providing a much simpler, higher level configuration with cnc.yml, while still enabling you to edit the templates directly so you're not limited in the infra you can deploy for your app. In this way, we're the first tool of that kind, sort of like a "PaaS in your own cloud" but we expose the plumbing as a CLI.

Thanks again!

> Every property constructed dataset I have seen shows incomes have increased greatly.

Sure, but I was talking about Canada, the "most educated nation" according to the OECD, which, importantly, crossed the 50% attainment threshold a long time ago. The USA only did so recently.

In the interest of fairness, it might be too early to see the big jump we're told to expect in the US data. I am a little surprised you reached for it for that reason. If we're not too early, then I am still surprised you reached for said data. The data shows a fairly consistent growth trend over the span of decades, with no instantaneous growth of any substantial amount to account for the point where the degree was obtained. Perhaps you mistakenly linked to the wrong datasets?

That said, it is telling that US median income has risen – quite significantly, really – even while the median income did not possess a degree. Which, frankly, echoes that the relationship trying to be painted earlier isn't actually there. While we can try to be fair, you and I both know there won't be a big jump in the median income to account for the US median income finally attaining a degree. The idea that a degree would provide increased earnings doesn't even make sense.

What does exist is college filtering mechanisms (entrance requirements, academic rigour, etc.), which have traditionally kept out those who aren't destined to earn much in life, but that, again, doesn't mean attaining a college degree is a cure for what ails them. Indeed, in a given cohort, it is statistically likely that top performers who succeed in everything they do in life will also succeed in college and in the economy in general. But what does that tell us? Don't be born into life problems? Not exactly actionable.
> some parsers "upgrade" html to xhtml and then process the xhtml since its more regular.

I have never heard of anything even vaguely matching your description, and it would be wildly wrong. HTML parsing is exhaustively defined, and the only way of correctly parsing HTML is to use the defined HTML parser.

There are unhappy parents and children of unhappy parents that are wincing at the idea of rolling the dice with a child over the idea that being trapped by a decision will somehow force feelings of fulfillment. I am all to familiar with how this kind of thinking has lead to depressed and resentful parents and children who suffer from them. You should have children because you want to.

“Many people find fulfillment and purpose in having children” = good advice

“Having children will give you purpose and make you feel fulfilled” = you’re projecting
Clojure is probably the most beautiful language I've ever worked with. Nothing is perfect, but Clojure is very simple and elegant.
I often hear about the simplicity form factors of the internet in a bygone era, before my time, in the mid to late 90's. Now, from all the stories I've heard and the visuals I've seen, someone that's a third of my age now seems to be delivering that spirit of simplicity back :)

If it's really is about not harming "a single microbe", then the probes amd landers can't even land on the planet. they might squeeze an alien cat beneath the lander or burn everything with their thrusters. I can't imagine the scenery when you're an alien cat and you look up and out of nothing.. boing ... You're smashed.

So if talking about the ethics, how the unintentional killing of possibly alien life is looked at? Intentional "for the science" is a little bit unethical, but we kill Gogols of Gogols at our place each second without even thinking of ethics. So, where's the difference to a possible microbean alien Life? And what will happen, if we suddenly really discover an alien cat? If it's smashed by the lander - is it ethical/unethical to take the probes of the alien hamburger? Is it ethical/unethical when the alien cat is not smashed, but caught. Just as a assumption, if there's a full grown alien cat pet keeper and you just smashed or caught and killed his pet? ..From the point of view of the pet keeper, is it ethical then? What if the pet keeper, unsuspiciously walking around, is suddenly smashed by the lander.. ethical? What about not smashing, but rather capturing??

I think there should just be a differentiation between fast reproduction and slow reproduction. We can't do anything about smashing or burning by the thrusters, but, if alien life is found, then its observed firstly for a period of time anyway. Here, in my thinking,
the reproduction rate can be observed. If it's "fast" under some circumstances and if these circumstances are "often enough" to have constant "population", then ok - it's evolution. We can kill it for science. But, if the reproduction time is like of a Earth's whale or elephant, and even some social behavior can be observed, then highly problematic in my eyes.

Ok. Say, we've discovered the alien cat. We don't kill it. We observe it until it die intentionally or unintentionally. Can we use the remainings? What, if there's a "mother" that grief? What if there's somehow a cult of living eating the dead and therefore no remains and no leftovers?

This is a very shadowy part of science. At some point we need to do a killing. The most ethical one is smashing from above unintentionally.

This is a very nice take on the country. I visited a few years ago (took an overnight train from Romania which was a blast, albeit not the most restful experience) and I would just say that there isn't all that much to see or things going on. Not to say it isn't a nice enough place, it's just not one I'd ever recommend as a tourist destination for people. If you want more Eastern Europe vibes I think Romania is just fine for that with much more going on -- if you're more adventurous Lviv and Kyiv are fantastic (I was just there in April, still gorgeous cities with great restaurants, bars, and art). And if you want old Europe with a post-Soviet flavor, nothing beats Estonia and the well preserved old town in the capital

(American here) I don't know anything about Palmer Luckey or Anduril, but I do believe in a strong national defense.

As an individual, I can do approximately zero to stop weapons from being used for offense, rather than defense. That is wildly unfortunate and tragic, but (false dichotomy incoming) I would choose that path for my country 100% of the time over being under-armed.

"The strong do what they will while the weak suffer what they must." I can't recommend being weak so instead I will vote for being strong.

All that to say: I am supportive and thankful that someone out there is actually innovating/delivering in this space and not just an MIC-parasite.

All that says is the Java runtime will suspend on blocking IO, not that it _only_ suspends on blocking IO.

> what they're intended for

Java prides itself on careful and deliberate changes to eliminate foot guns, but this seems like a pretty major restriction. Usually these kinds of cooperative threads are called fibers or something else to distinguish them from truly preempt-able threads.

Expecting developers to read the minutiae of documentation (there's another restriction around synchronized blocks) is a fool's errand TBH. Principle of least surprise, etc.
rsync is the tar of network transfers. It is extremely useful, but has too many options, so one ends up memorizing a few use cases and carefully sticking to them.

I still have PTSD from the time I played with the options and made the mistake of swapping source and destination, where the destination was a blank disk.
Dollar weighted people want trucks, e.i. people who want to spend more money on their personal vehicles want trucks. People who want to spend efficiently don't want trucks, they want what Honda and Toyota have been selling which is slowly converting to hybrid powered vehicles and to a lesser extent electric powered sedans and SUVs. Ford has no interest in the lower margin segments. So they are focused on trucks first and SUVs second.

Well, if the designer of the class used the right annotations GCC will issue a warning if warnings are enabled. This is third-party code and nothing to do with GCC per se and the language itself does not require any kind of compile-time warning for undefined behaviour. Then again, most people seem to disable or ignore the warnings the toolchain gives them. You can make anything idiot-proof but there's always a bigger idiot.

It sounds more like a crappy library designed by people who don't know their craft. It's easier to blame the tools.

Yeah; when you are buying directly from the provider, such a a train ticket from SNCF, the chances that they show accurate messages about remaining space is higher than when you use a third party service which can only show second hand information.

Kind of reminds me of the quote from the Steve Jobs movie:

"The most efficient animal on the planet is a condor. The most inefficient animals on the planet are humans. But a human with a bicycle becomes the most efficient animal. And the right computer -- a friendly, easy computer that isn’t an eyesore but rather sits on your desk with the beauty of a tensor lamp -- the right computer will be a bicycle for the mind. A beautiful object -- perfect geometry, perfect finish, something you want to look at and have in your home. Flawless. And then a personal computer becomes an interpersonal computer. And what if instead of it being in the right hands, it was in everyone’s hands?"

Older people like myself remember that the essential things you'd unpack after moving into a new apartment were the mattress and the multi-component stereo system.

I'm saying that in order to introduce a new *artificial* sweetener, it is *very* resource intensive.

I'm saying that, if something was maybe showing sing of being "not safe" there's incentive to move on to something new sooner rather than later. That is, if exposure over time to A adds up, then it makes sense to want to move on from A to B sooner rather than later. Else A's flaws are going to be exposed.

Look at statins. The Healthcare Industrial Complex pushed those HARD. And then eventually it was, "Oh wait. These might not be as safe and as positive as we thought..." Then suddenly that push got pushed under the rug as if it never happened.

The irony of it all? We keep getting new & improved artificial sweeteners, and waistlines keep expanding more and more.
