Your assumption is missing a few important points. It's a weird, stressful and depressing job, while also being inconvenient. People need transit to function early in the morning, late at night, during holidays. Having enough train drivers to serve all of those comes at a cost, and is sometimes quite hard because people aren't lining up to stay stationary and press buttons in a tunnel from 4am or during Christmas/New Years (even if they don't personally celebrate it).

Automated driverless trains allow for higher frequency, reduce the need for a shitty job, and allow operations in inconvenient for humans hours and times.
> I woke up early today and had a few hours of darkness, I can feel my mood and brainpower improving as the sun rises

I can't relate at all. Where I live the days are consumed by darkness in the winter and I see no effect on my mood or brainpower.
The largest probe ever launched afaik is Voyager 1, and it was less than a ton. Even 'massive' things like the James Webb telescope only weighs 7 tons.

Starship is aiming for being able to launch 200+ tons. So stuff like this on a dedicated mission would have vastly more delta-v available but also be kind of silly. There's no reason we couldn't scale things up and just launch hundreds of probes at once all through the Solar System. Alternatively instead of launching probes we could look to start launching modular observation stations that could one day even house humans, or perhaps even grander ideas.

Launching one off probes, rovers, and satellites is really something I think we should be aiming to move beyond, let alone on the ridiculous time intervals we operate on at present.

We shouldn't still be making basic, yet revolutionary, discoveries on the Moon, more than half a century after we set foot on it.
I did not say they are equally bad.

I used a little critical thinking to determine that western governments also lie and manipulate, especially in cases like this, cold war situation. If that's a Russian talking-point, well, maybe they're right to point a finger back at us. Something about throwing stones in a glasshouse.

'hybrid warfare', 'Russian spy ships", 'Russian saboteurs', etc are all talking points and propaganda of western governments (let alone the Nordstream sabotage) but we're expected to blindly ignore all that that because they're 'on our side'?

There is a theory that sleeping more hours was not a determining factor in survival [1]. Homo sapiens mitigated sleeping on the ground as a risk by sleeping in groups.

> However, too much deep sleep is dangerous. REM is the stage of sleep in which we experience dreams, so our muscles become paralyzed to avoid acting out these dreams. In his “social sleep hypothesis,” Samson suggests that our ancestors mitigated the risk of deep sleep by sleeping in large groups with at least one person on guard.

> “Human camps are like a snail’s shell. They can pick it up and move it around with them,” Samson says. Our ancestral hunter-gatherers might have slept in groups of 15 to 20 around a campfire, taking turns staying awake and watching over the others.

Yes, it did come up during my defense, but it was deemed not to be a concern since I had one prior paper [1] (the original one in this thread of work, the paper I linked above was an improvement over it), and my advisor (co-author on both papers) vouched for the quality of the work.

React is far from performant for SSR, and it simply can’t be, as it wasn’t designed with backend needs in mind. The fact that it works at all is more of a happy accident or side effect. Current approaches are more like workarounds than proper solutions for making it function effectively on servers.

Most importantly, it’s also not particularly performant on the client side in real-world scenarios.

For evidence, here’s a guy testing major websites using his awesome react-scan tool: https://x.com/aidenybai/status/1861442057598062653

I know your comment is just the traditional HN karma grab, but rejecting technological advancement in vehicles based on privacy concerns means missing out on significant improvements in safety, efficiency, and comfort. Would you also reject modern healthcare because hospitals use connected devices?
Bridget Riley is an absolute master! I saw that exibit too and it actually got me into making generative art (Riley isn't generative art, but there's some obvious similarities).

I always found it fun that she really wasn't happy with how that 3d piece worked out, so went back to flat canvas for the rest of her career. I'm with you though, I thought it was amazing.

Is the ski website up? Im planning a trip to Sweden and would love to track conditions there!
Honestly, I feel like It’s pretty frightening that we may now have 5 to 15% (I didn’t find a consensus on this number but it seems that’s in this range) of humanity concerned with this exhaustion. This goes from making us "permanently" impaired and, maybe worse, more "stupid" (say, less clear mentally).

I really don’t think our societies are ready to handle that.

Though, I’m glad their research seems to go in the right direction. Then having a "solution" would be a huge step forward but we may also need a solid and simple way to diagnose the condition beforehand.

Sounds about right to me.

One reasonable definition of financial _success_, an acceptable endgame state, is "you have enough that you can live a baseline lifestyle that doesn't feel impoverished through passive income / interest".

In the UK as a single person 1-2M GBP is probably enough and for a family depending on expectations maybe 3-4ish. 3% a year withdrawal gives you 30/60/90K/120K pa, then you pay taxes. Nice, but not footballer private jet crazy life money, depending on the banding there you'll rent a house, have a nice car, the odd restaurant, and not worry about the price tags at the supermarket.

If you look at it another way it ends up being about as much as the median person earns throughout their working life. Basically, if you manage to front load that same amount of earnings then you're "successful".

Those numbers work out around the 1-5% mark in the UK, I imagine the same is true in the US.
More risk, more reward - it's usually that simple. That last example is closer to the security of a job than the lottery I'd say :) The likelihood of getting fired from a job is probably not that much lower than a plumbing business not working in an underserved area.

I've built a pretty low risk business to get cash flow going and am starting to tackle more high risk stuff. There's safe strategies to play the lottery in a way where you can afford to lose.

I have a few questions
- Is this inspired/based on the Blender node editor package?

Some stylistic choices look very much taken from there, even if some other details (eg font) look much more primitive

- If it’s not based on that, why?

Blander has an Excellent Python-based cross-platform ui which is completely open source. I’ve always thought it’s a crying shame that’s not available as a package to build desktop apps. And I think it would be very good to take things from there, like their very mature graph editor

People would of course talk about the information found on the platform, not the platform itself.
Thank you for the clarification. I certainly could have worded my comment better. I agree with you on that we should never trust open-source software blindly. That said, we can at least audit it, along with every new patch, which is impossible with binary blobs. That is why, I personally think, open-source should be preferred, for free and non-free software alike.
No idea where Spotify is from. My point was we didn't need it here in Switzerland as much as collecting music from the internet was a normal and legal thing long before that.

EDIT: sorry for the wall of text but I really find this topic to be quite interesting to discuss.

> where I run benchmarks before-and-after but only look at the single relevant function in the profile. That removes a whole lot of noise

Yes, but I have always found that approach to be insufficient IME.

For example, let's say that function profiling data shows that f(x) improved by X% after my change, however, when I run the E2E system tests the results I get are one of the following:

1. E2E system tests over M different workloads show no difference in performance. The correlation between the change and E2E performance in all M workloads is zero.

2. E2E system tests over M different workloads show that performance improved. The correlation between the change and E2E performance is therefore positive.

3. E2E system tests over M different workloads show that performance degraded. The correlation between the change and E2E performance is negative.

IME distribution of probabilities (#1, #2, #3) is ~[.98, .1, .1].

Hypothesis #1: None of the M workloads were sufficient to show that there is a positive or negative correlation between the change and E2E performance. In other words, we haven't found that particular M+1st workload yet that shows that there really is a change in performance.

Hypothesis #2: There is simply no correlation between the change and E2E performance as experiment results have shown.

Hypothesis #3: our benchmark measurement is insufficient to catch the change. Resolution might be lacking. Precision might be lacking. Accuracy also.

I find hypothesis #2 to be the most probable when experiment results are repeatable (precision).

This also means that the majority of changes that we developers are doing for the sake of "optimization gains" can be easily disproved. E.g. you could have done 10s or 100s of "small optimizations" but yet there is no measurable impact on the E2E runtime performance.

> The biggest hurdle as I see it is really that we don't have something like STABILIZER; if you're measuring a full binary, you're very likely that issues like code moving around cause you to measure completely different things from what you intended, and we have pretty much no way of countering that currently.

I agree and I see this is a problem of hard-coding all the random variables in our system. Otherwise, we don't have the same initial conditions for each experiment run, which in reality we really don't.

And random variable is pretty much everything. Compiler. Linker. Two consecutive builds of the same binary do not necessarily produce the same binary, e.g. code layout may change. Kernel has a state. Filesystem has a state. Our NVME drives have a state. Then there is a page cache. I/O scheduler. Task scheduler. NUMA. CPU throttling.

So, there's a bunch of multidimensional random variables spread across the time all of which impact the experiment results - a stochastic process by definition.

This is my experience as well. I wrote Telegram bots in Python and Go for myself, they had weird bugs difficult to debug. Then I wrote it in Rust and it works. I don't have to go back every three weeks to reset the server. Would I write it in C++? No way.

I just picked up a low mile, garage kept Toyota sedan. V6 sedan, my favorite combo! This one has plenty of power, looks totally unassuming, and can get great economy when I drive modestly.

I plan on driving it a very long time. Same reasons.

It also predates the big infotainment systems. I really dislike the big screen and many functions turned into touch controls dangerous to use in motion.

Finally, it is easy to service. I will do that myself as long as I am able.

No, but that isn't what Rob Pike meant, that was the Go design team accepting they alone weren't capable to implement generics in Go, without help from those PhD folks.

The reasoning steps look reasonable and the interface is simple and beautiful, though Deepthought-8b fails to disambiguate the term "the ruliad" as the technical concept from Wolfram physics, from this company's name Ruliad. Maybe that isn't in the training data, because it misunderstood the problem when asked "what is the simplest rule of the ruliad?" and went on to reason about the company's core principles. Cool release, waiting for the next update.

For what it’s worth Gary, Khan’s FTC and Gensler’s SEC are looking pretty DOA in February, but a lot can happen before then and Google is under enough pressure that people are talking seriously about Chrome being broken off. The fine print about what constitutes a monopoly that damages consumer outcomes as narrowly construed bench legislating in Texas doesn’t matter to the optics.

Even if distancing YC from sama isn’t realistic on a dime, it wouldn’t hurt to step up to the same yard-line Nadella has on “we do business, we’re not married”.

And yanking the Thiel lectures and other “you will do nothing because you can do nothing” stuff from the official channel isn’t just ethically mandatory (IMHO), it’s also basic risk management.

You get to be a hothead on Twitter because you’re too big to fail, but I actually empathize because I lose my temper on a text sometimes too.

Any time doing the right thing is also +EV for the portfolio? That’s the move.

In lots of case linters might be harmful also.
It is one thing to have a style guide people follow in most cases, it is another one to rigidly force everywhere the style that the linter enforce.

Especially because most linters will impose that everyone on the team will use them.

For example, if we take Python, there is black that is bat shit and makes your code less readable but adopted by so many teams as cargo cult because doing that signal that you are a cool, hype, best practice following team...

In the end with "black", people are forced to abide by the style of the random guy that created it, that is not exactly following the PEP8 or the zen of python, and is just itself created in cargo cult inspired by go and rust, and Python creator even advised against using it for readability except in special cases like very very big teams.

Similar to how you can watch & read a lot of Star Wars and then even ape Ralph McQuarrie style in your own drawings but unless the result is unmistakenly related to Star Wars there's no copyright infringement - but there is if someone looks at the result and goes "that's Star Wars, isn't it?"
