No
Why would you feeling better increase the odds of a child having a shitty unhappy life?

Sounds like a pretty shitty excuse in my ears, sorry.
This makes me so happy to see.
Wouldn't that effectively just be losing input resolution?
I am absolutely blown away by the number of people who are saying that this person, who is clearly depressed and likely burnt out, can solve all of his problems by having children. It is the most insane advice I have ever seen on this site.

Jumping to a lifetime commitment as a kneejerk reaction is just so wild to me. Maybe start with a hobby? This guy is working a full time job and a side hustle, but doesn't seem to do anything for himself. What happens if he has kids and realizes he's still unfulfilled? It's not like he can just return them.
That wasn't true for the LM spacecraft and rockets was it (well, there was a complete thing there, but it was completely inoperable for years)
I feel pretty lucky I don’t really identify with this as a consultant.

Often I get a light version of the full process and if you have a track record and seem like a guy you would want to have a beer with that’s usually enough. There are exceptions but generally speaking.
Generally I agree! I saw a guy shamefully admit he didn't read the output carefully enough when using generated code (that ran), but there was a min() instead of a max(), and it messed up a month of his metrics!

>hurry on the EV roadmap

It's the charging infrastructure that's lacking and the affordable used market, not their EV roadmaps. Currently EVs are best for those with charger at home which gives them cheap running costs (especailly with solar panels at home) and peace of mind of car always being fully charged at your disposal. But those without chargers at home are fucked with an overpriced and half the time broken public infrastructure that makes life much more miserable than with ICE cars.

EV sales have slowed down not because the EV roadmap, but because the market of users with home chargers has begun to saturate, so now you need to improve public charging to break into the demographic without chargers at home, but since nobody wants to do that, neither car manufacturers, nor the governments, turning EV infrastructure investment into this hot potato, meaning EV adoption is at a stalemate.

Blaming slow EV sales on the EV roadmap without thinking of public infrastructure would be like blaming lackluster smartphone roadmaps when networks are still stuck on 2G.
Gotcha. I live in a hilly area - regular +/- 2000 ft elevation changes on a given trip. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Brake maintenance sucks, even more than needing new tires.

Nope.

I can't use the properties without explicitly unwrapping them. Implicit means that I can pretend they aren't optional.

But I often have lines that use ?? to bring in alternatives, and will, if the occasion calls for it, allow the app to fail silently. I tend to like using things like assertions and preconditions, if I want to make the app crash.
I believe that if Mistral is serious about advancing in open source, they should consider sharing the corpus used for training their models, at least the base models pretraining data.
> Get married and have children

I second this. I was in a similar position as the OP and after having a child the perspective has changed quite a bit and soul crushing jobs are a lot more bearable, meaning is no longer tied to the job.
This must mean there is a big chunk of people using open source models that are cheaper and they want a slice of that action
llama.cpp is still under development and they sometimes come out with breaking changes or new quantization methods, and it can be a lot of work to keep up with these changes as you publish more models over time. It's easier to just publish a standard float32 safetensors that works with PyTorch, and let the community deal with other runtimes and file formats.

If it's a new architecture, then there's also additional work needed to add support in llama.cpp, which means more dev time, more testing, and potentially loss of surprise model release if the development work has to be done out in the open
First of all, other players are likely using the same naive approach and you need to differentiate yourself. Second, using simple EVs will give you consistent, but not top, results. You will likely always finish in the top third, but never in the top 1%, losing out to people who successfully predicted a low EV player's incredibly high output in a game.
No created or temporary thing can ever fulfill you in the way you recognize that you are unfulfilled.
Most people know someone by now who bought an EV and has suffered for it; be it a an expensive battery replacement, problems charging, getting stranded on the side of the road and having to be towed, having to rent a car to do any roadtrips without massive inconvenience and anxiety. Everyone I know who had an EV has ended up going back to regular ICE or Hybrid. For those who say they have no problems and love their electric car, I tell them: just wait. It's only a matter of time.

Even most hybrids are not a good deal, when compared to a fuel efficient 4 cylinder. My Dad recently had to replace the battery in his Toyota Prius after only about 100,000 miles. He bought a refurbished battery and got it installed for ~$4k. Toyota wanted $6k for a car that is barely worth that (worthless with a dead battery). It failed about 6 months later, was replaced, before failing again. He ended up getting rid of the car because it wasn't worth it, and replaced it with an ICE Honda Civic.

Meanwhile, I've owned my Honda Civic for over 10 years, and outside of regular maintenance, never had a problem with it. I couldn't imagine ever buying a hybrid or electric car.
They didn't strategize for the possibility that Anthropic would produce a better model than they do.
VScode has connect to remote server via ssh mode built in, and there's an extension to use a docker container on the server, making it pretty easy to provision dev environments for new developers.

Surprisingly good.

I was running emacs on a machine in the cloud on the east coast, tunneling to my X server on my laptop on the west coast. No visible keystroke latency. Only noticeable latencies were copy/paste and initial startup but those were only bad enough to be noticeable, not bad enough to annoy me.

As a non-native speaker, I have no idea what's wrong with the sentence (fragment?) you wrote.
> Need to get a file from one box to another? Have SSH? `scp` is your friend

For less trivial transfers (recursive structures, large collections that you want to sync with minimal time) rsync supports SSH as a transport medium out of the box so

scp remote.host:path.txt local
scp local remote.host:path

becomes

rsync remote.host:path.txt local
rsync local remote.host:path

for the basics, then start adding the other options that you need:

rsync some/local/dir me@remote.host:/target/ --recursive --times
rsync some/local/dir me@remote.host:/target/ --archive # archive does recursive and also preserves times, ownership, etc.
rsync some/local/dir me@remote.host:/target/ --recursive --delete-before --dry-run
… … …

In fact, I usually end up using rsync even for the basics, just out of habit typing that instead of scp.
This is good advice. Happiness is found through purpose, not hedonistic pursuit of abstract happiness for its own sake. Family is the ultimate purpose, but if not family then find a way to contribute to the greater world: Start a business and employ others, or dedicate your time to a charitable cause.

Purpose frees you, not traps you further, if you embrace it.

Intelligence is the removal of uncertainty, if it does not remove uncertainty (state resolve from ambiguity by disposition) it is not intelligent.

Intelligence has this capacity. Yes, all life deals with uncertainty (soft core "entropy".) Intelligent design and behavior exists to some degree in every necessary part of it.

Why is that such a big deal? We don't care about random intelligent people, or animals, why is life's fundamental strategy challenge us?

Life feeds upon life. All we can do to not be savages is have a civilizing accord.
Hm, look at Toyota Camry of a decent trim at almost $45k+, and compare it to $35k tesla that can go 360 miles range. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-long-range-rear-whee...

EV's are cheaper now. This year it might be here and there a little bit, next year and beyond EV will beat gas cars on price without any doubt.
> Well, the other thing they know how to do is make a product that people actually want to buy.

That's the other way around, they are great at making people want to buy the products they make. They make trucks because the chicken tax makes foreign trucks and vans unattractive in the US. And the trucks grow bigger every year because it's easier to satisfy environmental regulations with bigger vehicles (since the goals depend on vehicle size). They then make really good propaganda^w marketing to make people want to buy those vehicles.

If people only wanted rugged, reliable, long-lasting vehicles they would buy Toyota.

I run a SaaS which, increasingly, seems to resonate with a conservative parents, so I've started targeting more conservative media and social media. I am a little concerned about public image in the future, but that seems more like a problem to deal with after I have a meaningful amount of customers.

Betalist/Pitchwall - These both feel scammy to me. You sign up, and then they try to extract a few hundred dollars from you to list your product. For a non-target audience who probably doesn’t exist this seems like a bad idea. I haven’t used ProductHunt yet, however I am suspicious of it too, despite them having a greater market dominance.

Reddit (and scored.co) - Reddit has proved difficult, because it has strict account age rules and karma requirements for posts. The subreddits I want to post to also usually have strict spam rules, which would include my posts (even though I’d hardly count a CEO doing a Q/A on his product spam, but I digress). Sticking with the conservative theme I also tried scored.co, which had the best sign up rate, althoguh ultimately though my posts were still removed due to spam/off topic rules.

4chan - Famously (allegedly?) Notch got all of Minecraft’s early customers through 4chan, so it seemed like it could be a good idea. Unfortunately I found it wasn’t. I got a lot of interaction, more than hacker news with dozens of comments, but neither post showed any click through. I also ran ads; these were very cheap, at around $0.08 per thousand views, however they had unbelievably low click through rates and even worse sign ups. I got more people offering to work for the company than trying to buy our product.

Quora - This is nice in the sense they aren’t banning me, however timing questions seems to be tricky. I’ve answered old questions which get no new traffic, and I’ve yet to find appropriate new questions to answer. I’m also watching stack exchange, which has a parenting exchange, however it has the same waiting issue.

Twitter/Truth Social/Gab - Twitter is actually great for messaging influencers, I've been surprised with how many major influencers message back even if I'm not verified (although I haven't really made anything happen yet). I also find on smaller sites (Gab/Truth), the group feature can be a great benefit, as people do watch and interact with it groups. I am recently verified on Twitter though, so I'll have to see if that helps with anything. I suspect you could use mastodon.social and have similar results for more left-wing targeted ads. One thing I've also been trying (which I've heard works) is responding to popular posts with your account to drive traffic. While some replies have received attention, it hasn't driven any traffic.

Obviously I am OP, I just didn't want to pollute the description with my comment.
Nope. No one is telling them this because everyone is either scared to do so or is trapped in a hedonistic self-oriented conception of happiness.

This is my advice, I am sincere in it and I feel that, given their presentation of the facts of their life, it is likely to be the most effective way to grow as a human. Note that I do mention that it will give them purpose and suffering, not happiness as they current conceive of it.
Ask HN: Skills to Learn for Wartime?
What are some technical skills that I can pick up that will make me desirable for desk positions during wartime?
I love this. Her little site really takes me back to the age of the internet I often miss.

Back in the 90s, fresh out of art school I knew I needed to create a portfolio website of some sort. I went to a Borders Books and got a book about 4 or 5 inches think about HTML and how to craft a site using a tool built into Netscape Navigator. Over the course of a week or so I created a site very similar in function to the one in the OP. The main difference was the content.

On my homepage I featured one of my drawings - a color pencil rendering of a very large/wide man in a jock strap looking at the viewer with a cunning smile. Yes, I was very mature. You had click on his belly to enter the site. This was where I learned to make an image map for the first time. When you clicked it he said, "Ooh, that tickles" and then you were in where the portfolio and navigation was presented.

It was all HTML 4, no javascript, no cookies or forms - all very basic stuff.

And that site got me my first real job in the design world (at an Adobe competitor called Micrografx, which later imploded). The rest is history! Thanks, Netscape.
> In some ways I've envied those students in my class who could suck up information like a sponge and regurgitate it verbatim during examinations. That said, I had no trouble equalling and often bettering them in topics that held my intersest. More to the fact my fundamental understanding of the subject was often much stronger.

Anecdote: It was difficult for me to learn algebra at first because things like the phrase "plug it in" (wrt variables) were never defined, only demonstrated. They expected students to simply infer by watching and following along. But once I finally figured out the fundamentals, I could use them to engineer my own solutions that rivaled what they wanted to teach me, and at that point I instantly got bored with most of the lessons (and went from hating math to loving it). At points they had to ban me from using calculators, mandate me showing all work, etc. because they realized I was being far more efficient than they wanted. That's when I really got upset about it.

See, the mistake they made is assuming that I didn't need a fundamental understanding in order to simply regurgitate the subject material. They expected me to learn purely by example and then work purely based on their algorithm. They did not expect me to require complete base knowledge, and once I had that knowledge they did not expect me to use it to engineer my own solutions. That was their second mistake; assuming that I would learn and apply only what they were trying to teach me.

My personal hypothesis is that school wasn't designed with autistics in mind. Learning by following along without explanation is traditionally a neurotypical thing. Autistics often learn based on rules and in fact don't always benefit from merely following along if they can't infer the actual reason behind something. I'm sure a lack of attention to this detail is a huge reason why autistics are often viewed as having "special" needs rather than simply different ones.
And yet the best selling car last year, world-wide, was Tesla Model Y - a fully electric car, not a hybrid.

Hybrids are the worst of both worlds: you need a gas engine AND a battery.

It doesn't make sense economically.

Things cost money and putting both engine and battery costs more that putting just one of those.

People care about the price so in practice you end up with a car that has both gimped (cheaper) gas engine and gimped (cheaper) battery and a government subsidy to make it sense financially (for buyer).

Not to mention that study after study found that environment benefits of plug-in hybrids have been greatly exaggerated i.e. in real life charging happens 2-3x less than the initial predictions.

People buy them mostly because governments offer subsidies making them more attractive than similar gas cars and then don't charge them at all. Which also means that the battery in them is completely useless and it would be better if it wasn't there in the first place.
In the vast majority of applications you will get GPS coordinates even when the source is a non-GPS constellation. The WGS84 datum is the lingua franca of coordinate systems and what most systems expect by default if not otherwise specified.
Yup. Government regulations once again screwing those of us who prefer smaller vehicles.

Looking at you, Chicken Tax!
As a non-native English speaker, I may be one the few finding this addition really useful to correct syntax and spelling mistakes.

I am not 100% sure to understand the hostility towards such a feature, that seems accessible only via a user-action.
Oh that's really interesting.. I didn't realize there was a separate paddle for braking. The PHEVs I've driven only had it in the pedal. I should rent one to try out, seems neat.
Generating code has significant economical benefit. The code once generated can be execute so many times without requiring high computing resources, unlike AI model.
Yeah I found that interesting. Flubbed embargo times makes sense, but could it also be that they're letting the news organizations have first dibs to build a little goodwill with the industry?

Consumers are willing to go into huge debts to buy the car they want. Anecdotal, but my closest friend works for a car dealership and the stories he tells every week are heartbreaking.

From Ford/GM perspective, I’m assuming they’ve crunched the numbers, and realized trying to make a cheaper vehicle will not result in proper ROI. I’m not sure if they can ever compete with economies of scale as well, compared to Chinese hawks, as they just have so many more consumers even just internally.

It’s going to be fun to watch the car-wars as we have allied countries like Australia that are buying up BYDs, so people can’t just call them “Chinese crap” forever. My bet is within 5 years US/Europe is going to rely on protectionism even more, as China puts more pressure on exports. It’s a huge industry with an enormous amount of jobs attached to it after all.
California at least is trying to make all new cars sold be EV by 2035
Possibly a NVIDIA subsidy. You run NEMO models, you get cheaper GPUs.
I think Ford stands a better chance than Toyota. Ford is putting up an effort. Toyota is putting its head in the sand.
> I can count people that provided an important contribution to the Redis code base in the fingers of my hand, and spare fingers remain. One of those contributors is Matt Stancliff, so I can't (and I don't want) ignore him when he disagrees about how the project is developed.[1]

Do we have good data to the contrary, though? Is there evidence that most science is good? The replicability crisis has certainly given some evidence that much of published research could be classified as 'not good' in some domains. (And maybe there is an important distinction to make between 'bad' science and 'fraudulent' science).

If there isn't good evidence to show that most science is good, the best we can probably claim is that we don't know.
Right, and that would be guesswork unless the image had been explicitly tagged.

Call it being in a rut, or a funk, or getting the blues, but please don't say like prison unless you've experienced prison. What you're describing is close to the opposite of my experience in prison.

Every day was one day closer to release, to being able to see and spend time with the people I cared most about. I saw dates on the calendar approach and looked forward to them. I never had much opportunity to be bored, and there were plenty of activities I could engage in, even during 24 hour lockdowns. I was forced and encouraged to eat fewer calories (at first at least) and lost a lot of weight, making me much healthier. I had goals I was very eager to work toward, but artificially put off because I couldn't do them while locked up.

This sounds like a mid-life crisis. Your SHBG levels rise with age and your free testosterone levels are likely low. Getting looked over for TRT can potentially help.

Having a middling career isn't enough for a lot of people. Why aren't you in the 1% killing it? A lot of them have problems, but having more money than you know how to spend is a source of contentment for a lot of wealthier people.
