I think it would be really hard to understand without experiencing it. But I will write down anyway.

So before dilution I had this strong idea of who I was. I had this back story. There were certain things I do. And certain things I don't do. I used to judge everyone. I had a very high opinion about myself and used to constantly do or find things to validate that.

Now I don't have a story in which I live on. Each and every moment is intense. Sunsets are absolutely beautiful that you cannot describe through words. Spending time in nature is surreal. You do the right thing instead of doing things to validate your narrative. The dopamine hit I used to get when I used to do certain things is gone( i use to confuse these dopamine hits as me doing something right). This unlocks doing things more from Intuition and less from memory. There is less fear. There is more flow. More creativity. No regard for authority or beliefs. Everyone is equal. You want to know and not believe.

That said it's not all great stuff. You also have to work through some existential questions which you were previously isolated by the ego. Like mortality. Impermanence of everything. Aging body. What happens after death. Nature of awareness. Why I am aware. Is awareness eternal and it's implications etc etc.

Anyone know what the identifier is, so it's blockable? Or is that the whole point, that regular users can't block it because it's at the telco level?

Office Hours | Senior Software Engineer | Remote (US) / Hybrid (SF/NYC) | $160k-$210k + equity | https://officehours.com

We're a consulting platform and marketplace.

On one side (demand), we help businesses (consultants, investors, and startups) find, connect, and learn from experts. On the other side (supply), we help make it easy for experts to get paid to share what they know.

Similar to Uber or Airbnb, things are simple on the surface: search, match, connect, and pay. But under the hood, there are fun and challenging engineering problems across search, discovery, recommendations, data, logistics, payments, and performance.

We're looking for an experienced backend engineer to help us solve them. The ideal candidate will likely be a generalist with a lean towards data platform or data engineering.

Our small, driven, curious, and collaborative team has taken things from 0 to 1. If you're interested in helping us scale from 1 to 100 (and beyond), shoot me a note.

>Why are passions not critical?

Maslow's hierarchy is discredited but it works enough for this simple model. I feel I explained this well enough. If I struggle to keep paying rent (housing and security, the second layer), why would I place my passions, my esteem 2 levels up, over that?

It's possible to be happy and homeless, but not likely. I can't dance well if I'm hungry on the streets.

>Nobody really needs food (or food-culture) to be kept alive

Your biology disagrees, but I wish you the best of luck.

Food culture is the third level, belonging. I'd say it's more critical than your passions, but that's definitely where the pyramid starts to get hazy (hence the discreditation). You can argue a dance culture, but everyone eats food. Not everyone dances.
Without reasonable alternative such as frequent and reliable public transit or major support for electric vehicle adoption, this will hurt most Californians much more than it helps.

While I don't claim to be an expert on policy, perhaps a $0.65/gal tax which funds public transit would be a better use of this increase in cost.
Show HN: AI/ML powered tool I built got me an angel investor within 5 days
People learn to work better by reflecting on work. So any framework for self-observation is better than none.

I suspect that algorithms as a framework demonstrates the structural aspects (e.g., how some searches are more extensive), but might hide the driving factors. Indeed, the article examples were almost all hacking personality, not technical or process solutions.

E.g., most over-engineered solutions are driven by fear, often itself driven by critical or competitive environments. Conversely, much of the power of senior/staff engineers comes from the license to cut corners afforded their experience. Or people use the tools they know.

You can't get to great by holding onto good. It's easy to go from bad to good, but takes some courage to toss good to start over for great. The lesson there is that we stand (hide?) behind our work, and we need to let go of it to improve it.

A meta-lesson is that managers need to deeply understand personal space of each developer and the social dynamics of the team before they can do their job effectively, and a key part of that is likely checking in with developers in a way that enhances their courage and self-observation instead of making them fearful and paranoid.

It takes a while to shed one's existing OO expectations, but after that, I think you'll find well-organized F# code to be easier to use than C#. Immutability and lack of side-effects makes it much simpler to reason about what someone else's code is doing, and then reuse it.

If you have any specific examples of discoverability/reusability issues in F#, I'd be curious to hear them.
> I'm definitely looking at it from rose colored glasses

It's not rose tinted glasses, it's just a poor comparison.

The absolute vast majority of these videos have double digit if not any views. You're seeking them out, using a little quirk of naming and the poster's DGAFism. There is no pretense of promotion to a large audience or virality. Anything spoonfed you on a Tiktok or Instagram feed could not be more different. The default Youtube experience is the same as mass Tiktok. Moreover you can find plenty of similar material like this on Instagram and Tiktok if you go looking for it, that is after all what most people are using it for, bumming around with their friends. The algorithm isn't going to spoonfeed this to you, and obviously Youtube never did either.
Actually I started reading more about it, and it is most definitely not always a bad idea. You just don't seem to know how to read (or think, for that matter) properly.

> There is no context that exists for that kind of irreversible damage at such a young age.

At 6, it's not irreversible. Even according that the article you linked yourself, surgery almost never happens before 18, the exceptions being sometimes 17 or 16 (not 6).

Some things are done a 6 (or earlier), called "social transitioning" first, and this is not irreversible at all.
Firefox needs to deliver a privacy focused browser with fantastic security and push open standards. This alone delivers more than enough value to _everyone_ for every cause.

Hey HN,

I built AloAngels from my college dorm to solve a problem I kept seeing: founders and people with just a big idea struggle to connect with the right investors. So I created an AI-powered platform that matches early-stage startups (and even ideas!) with investors based on personalized metrics.

The journey’s been amazing so far—through AloAngels, I was able to connect with Jesse Cassuto, an angel investor from New York, who’s now advising me. His experience in early-stage funding has been a game-changer, and having him on board has pushed AloAngels to the next level.

Here’s what AloAngels offers:

Smart matching – Uses 15+ metrics, like industry focus and investment history, to connect founders with ideal investors.

It Boosts funding chances – With an Investment Likelihood Score that shows potential fit.

It’s called a 401K or HSA…

One is free from federal and state tax up to $23K (well $30.5K for me this year - check my username) and one is free from Federal, State and FICA up to $4250 if you’re single or $8500 if married.

That means I can shelter $39K from taxes.

That $20K is over half the allowable amount.

~20% of all vehicles sold in California are already electric, and generous state subsidies exist on top of federal subsidies. Some states will arrive at a majority EV future sooner than others.

"Our programming" wants us to keep moving. Moving flows blood through the system and focuses your need on providing energy to the rest of your body, including your brain. You wind this down, and your systems slows with the rest of you.

You can move without dancing. Dancing is a social feature, not a biological one.
Dancing is efficient as a physical activity and a physical exercise but not critical. Food is critical. Dancing with food scarcity is just a waste of vital calories to survive.

Very confused on how so many are arguing that dancing is more important than basic energy. Guess it shows who has really struggled in life.
That’s in the works, where it adapts from 16mb to terabyte heaps. The current GCs have a max, with lazy allocation and ability to release back to the system periodically, but are not as system aware.

I think that experienced Excel users and managers don't expect Excel to be perfect, but have figured out how to cost the inevitable bugs and changes into their expectations, to a good enough level of accuracy.

Nobody knows how long a software project will take, if it will deliver something that works or not, and if responsive support will materialize. Many if not most developers agree with this, even if they disagree as to the root causes.

One way to think of it is that it's a difference between a person and a process. A spreadsheet can be created and maintained by a person -- often the end user themselves. But since most people don't program, getting software written and maintained requires a process.

The same is true of driving a car versus flying in an airplane. When you drive, you feel like you're the person who's in control of getting yourself to your destination. When you fly, you're placing yourself at the mercy of processes that you don't control and that are not all aligned with your interests.
> At one point you might be at a school recital in Malaysia, and the next minute you are at a birthday in Ecuador. It's amazing!

It’s important to think of this in relative terms. For some peopl, $0.65/gal is a 25% increase (or more). For California, it’s 15% (or less). Still notable, but not as dramatic as it sounds to some.
That's what I thought too.

Why not raise the price in urban areas, where pollution is greater, as is the standard of living? Then throw in some more public transportation to make up for the difference. The lone white boy chugging gas in rural California and living paycheck to paycheck can probably take a break, and his emissions, I suppose, are largely irrelevant.
I did this and the 2nd video I found was of a recording of "Disco 2000" by the Pulp at a festival:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DCFCQ9GYUY

By coincidence this is one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands.
The 5G issue was more about flying in or over anywhere that had a 5G service using that particular band - it didn’t matter whether anyone on the phone did or did not have a phone on.

Hence the whole US aircraft fleet was upgraded (by the end of September 2023) so that band could be used for 5G there and it’s no longer a problem.

As I understand it, cellular modems wouldn’t transmit on a frequency if they can’t see a base station (tower) first on that channel, so I expect before the problem was fixed, the temporary solution was just to disable that band at the base stations.

If there was any actual known or suspected risk of electromagnetic compatibility issues with any consumer devices, there would be very strict laws about it (it might become a Federal offence not to have your phone in airplane mode, for example - but obviously it’s not)
Regarding them java applets, it seems it's possible to make them run using webassembly or a "google web toolkit" (what the fabulous https://github.com/pfalstad/circuitjs1 simulator uses)..
Those are great, and I'm all in favor to alternatives to gasoline, but most people aren't buying new cars these days. In fact, the age of the average car in the US is at all time highs. These subsidies aren't moving the needle enough. The reality is that most people will simply be forced to pay more for their commute.

This is the government using the stick when they should try and use the carrot.
Because you can't target price increases due to refinery specifications around fuel composition. You can only encourage EV uptake (policies and subsidies) and destroy fossil fuel demand (impair the fossil fuel supply chain).
CA also has the highest real poverty rate in the country (SPM)

I think GP's point about funding public transit is reasonable - a huge chunk of Californians can't afford an EV right now given that the cheapest one on the market is like a good $10k more expensive than the cheapest gas sedans.

So if there are challenges in moving the pieces from below, then why not have a robotic arm that reaches down and grabs and moves pieces? A bit of computer vision might help with accuracy.
That's a great way to put it!

I’ve gradually started using more UX-friendly alternatives to the tools I've used for so long, and I don’t think the time spent learning those lower-level tools was wasted at all.

If I ever switch to a MacBook (since they're easy to carry around and have good battery life), I’d probably feel the same way as you do. But I don't see that happening shortly since I don't see an immediate need or benefit of it.
Put an ultrasonic emitter and an accelerometer in each piece. When a piece completes a move emit an ultrasonic pulse pattern unique to the piece. Pick that up with 3 ultrasonic microphones places around the board and use the time differences between when the pulses arrive at the 3 microphones to find the location of the piece.

Maybe use 6 different frequencies (one for the white King, one for white pawns, and one for the rest of white, and similar for black) to make it easier to handle moves that affect more than one piece.

The moves that involve more than one piece are captures (one piece of each color), castling (one King and one Rook), and pawn promotion (one pawn, one piece of the same color that the pawn promotes to, and possibly one piece of the opposite color if the pawn captures during the promotion).
People are still buying new and used vehicles (as it is unavoidable if you cannot rely on public transportation), and with a mixture of policy, they will be encouraged to buy EVs.

> This is the government using the stick when they should try and use the carrot.

You can provide as much carrots as you want and people will still say it's not enough. Everyone wants to freeload, no one wants to pay the true cost of burning fossil fuels for transportation (which would be >$10/gallon if you bake CO2 emission and health costs in).
I don't see how you require a private entity to broadcast communications without getting rid of the first amendment.

That's where all the whinging is, people want to require Facebook or Twitter to show whatever stupid thing they said to lots of others, they aren't mad that Facebook blocked their private messages with their mom.

Politicians and bureaucracies refuse to build up the nuclear power plants and power distribution infrastructure required to get California drivers off gasoline. I’m just concerned about all the tracking in new electric cars. Hopefully we can build up electric car infrastructure soon and “jailbreak” electric cars with nauseating telemetry. I’m also interested to see data that would correlate increasing gas prices, CoL increases and inflation with a rise in property crime. We don’t need to make gasoline cleaner, we need to make cheaper electric cars and more numerous charging stations.
I think we're in general agreement. I say that's what "know your worth" is about. If you choose a web dev position, you're probably less vital than someone who works deep down in compilers.

Your worth is a mixture of (but not limited to) your expertise and how you sell yourself, the supply and health of the market, and what markets are offering vs. What they can potentially pay. Too many factors to give universal advice. So you'll need to fill in the variables based on your current experiences.

Right now the market is horrible and I'm not a purple squirrel. So I want to take what I can get for now and just focusing on relieving short term debt over long term plans to improve myself.

Harvey Molotch, "Ten Tips for Writing Something" (2020)
As someone who has been running llama.cpp for 2-3 years now (I started with RWKV v3 on python, one of the previous most accessible models due to both cpu and gpu support and the ability to run on older small GPUs, even Kepler era 2GB cards!), I felt the need to point out that only needing llama.cpp binaries and only being 5MB is ONLY true for cpu inference using pre-converted/quantized models. If you are getting a raw trained model from Meta, RWKV, THUD, Bytedance, Microsoft, Alibaba, or any of the big companies releasing open weight (but generally
not open source) models to the public, they WILL require python, torch, and dozens to hundreds of prerequisite python modules in order to run the convert.py script to produce an output model.

Should you wish to convert a model yourself, make sure you use BF16 (exceptions apply for natively trained models in FP32, FP16, and 1/1.58 bit native formats) for the majority of the models you convert if you have enough disk space then run llama-quantize on that model to create any quantized models to minimize conversion losses and allow the accuracy vs. performance vs. space considerations that make the most sense for you.

As far as models go, Mistral-2-Large, GLM-4 variants, Mistral-Nemo-8B are my current non-multimodal favorites. llama.cpp doesn't currently support multimodal models unless you use one of the various forks using it as the inference backend due to issues embedding the image tokens in the llama-server implementation. The three models listed have most recently given the most personality when asked to play Colossus (M2L), the best translation between multiple languages while maintaining consistency between translations (GLM-4), and the most obscure code
knowledge and annotation capabilities (Mistral-Nemo-8B with CodeGeeX-4-9B, a GLM-4 finetune as a close second). The last two models both were able to answer questions on 16 bit DOS C programming, near and far pointers, and even give assembly examples, although you have to specify very carefully to only emit 8086 or pre-80386 assembly mnemonics to avoid them using e?x variants of ?x registers.

May this comment prove illuminating for one searching for light.
Happy to hear that worked out for you, that sounds like a great place to be. What facilitated the change though, or how did that happen? Was there a catalyst?
this is what youtube and reddit was like during 2011. it was calm, serene, accepting, warm, human. it was just this perfect mixture of user friendliness, people knowing how to type and use computers and just before the internet was taken seriously by anyone and corrupted by money. before social media became a serious political consideration. i remember very clearly that even at the time it felt too good to be true. these videos capture that feeling pretty well. it was all unfiltered and it made you feel like you were connected to the world. like you had your finger on the pulse of the world. or like the entire world was inside your computer. really warm fuzzy vibes. i still miss that. but now i am too busy to spend so much time on the computer anyway.
