Do you use multiple desktops? Windows seems terrible at positioning windows, I can't work out how to tell a window to move to the next desktop, say, or just start on a particular desktop (nevermind start at a particular position). Instead it takes a lot of mouse work just to setup after a boot/reboot.

Do you have a solution?

I'm stuck with native solutions, otherwise I gather this can be fixed with AHK. I'm interested in what you use either way.
Oh the productivity fallacy. AI making your job easier and saving you an hour a day doesn't mean that you'll spend this hour to do sport or even be able to use that hour as you please. We have cars (after trains, bicycles and horses) to get faster from A to B but at the same time the commute to work has grown. Many machines have been invented over the last millennia, yet we use this gain in productivity not to have more leisure time but to enforce consumerism onto the workers.
> At the moment I have tried to stay on 1600 words which is considered a sweet spot on Substack. In this sense I probably got too hung up on this number by adding more detail than I should have and ended up making the post boring.

I once read a blog post that stayed with me. I don’t remember the author, I took no notes on it, and I’m struggling to find it to link you to it. Yet it was so powerful I can paraphrase all of it, in its entirety, right now:

“There is no rule that says a blog post has to have more than one idea or more than one sentence.”

Perfect.
Because time is relative (to observers) and more importantly, time is political and gets set and changed by decree.

But actually I wonder the same thing. If I was to go looking for answers I'd start somewhere like here (list of falsehoods programmers believe about time): https://gist.github.com/timvisee/fcda9bbdff88d45cc9061606b4b...
If you want to do a startup have these things:

* $30,000-$40,000 in the bank. This provides flexibility without strings attached.

* Have an idea you are willing to work on and flesh out for a year before seeking funding. This will determine if the idea is important enough to you and moves you closer to MVP. If you don’t have an intense passion for the idea/product then it’s just a fundraising con job.

* Find one or two cofounders. If you are the builder then find a finance guy who can make projections, do all the accounting, understands business taxes and so forth. You will probably also want an operations guy who keeps the lights on at night, understands all the relevant regulations, and knows all the right people in government and industry.

* If the start up fails then you are just unemployed. That’s not something to worry about. I would worry more about the lost and unrecovered personal assets, financial liabilities, and any legal liabilities. Just trying to shield yourself from much of that risk by making proper informed decisions up front.

* If you are independently wealthy enough to piss away cash into the wind, like a trust fund baby, then do whatever you want. Otherwise, have a good idea first. You will know it when you have it because it does something nobody else can, but it won’t be obvious to anyone else.

* In the meantime just get smart: objective, empathetic, good with people, well educated, well read, well rounded, solid with management of both people and assets. I see a lot of stupid and ignorant shit in comments on HN. Learn to really recognize that stupid shit in yourself and others to ward off risk from bad decisions.
I agree with the other commenter; I don't believe this language, which seems to be directed towards western audiences for self-serving reasons.

- "He also mentioned that al-Nusra would not target the country's Alawite minority, despite their support for the Assad regime"

In the past, al-Julani (or al-Golani) has explicitly demanded Alawites convert to Sunni Islam,

- "But any Allawite considering taking advantage of Golami’s kind offer must meet certain conditions. They must not only stop supporting Assad, but they must convert to Nusra’s brand of extreme Sunni Islam or, in other words, stop being Allawites. Christians will be given a grace period before they have to start pay jizya, a special tax, and Golani takes for granted that Sharia will be implemented. “The basics remain the same,” says Lund, “and they’re extreme enough to be borderline genocidal even when sugar-coated by Al Jazeera.”"

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/syrian-civ... (2015)

And the surrounding context of that quote is apropos, too: "They had earlier forcibly converted hundreds of Druze to their fundamentalist variant of Sunni Islam." These people have no intention of coexisting with different religious groups—they intend to violently convert them, and eradicate their religions.
> Unclear why "service" is in quotes. Not many people get to be in the room where it happens.

You answer your own question. There's no reason at this point in history the "room size" needs to be artificially limited. Was the Arm CEO paid for their time? If not, why not?

> absolutely do provide a real service to the rest of us who don't.

It's service for Arm not you. If you wanted unbiased analysis of Intel's position you might seek someone other than a direct competitor. Which makes paywalling this all the more baffling.
This modernization ruined it. I've seen it in 2000, I have no interest to see this "restoration".
Having visibility across the value chain should be very helpful - you can avoid committing to undeliverable products and at the same time anticipate demand from your customers. Overall you should be able to run the same thing on much lower margins and be in a position to out compete anyone who doesn't have the same advantage.

Unfortunately I think that the temptation is to give in to the "faster horse that eats less" requests and to accept "we just can't do that boz" on the other end. China seems to be moving to a model that couples integration with bouts of intimidatory violence and so far that seems to be working well, but it does have costs.
> One part that's been really bothersome lately is how many games actually seem better implemented than the "real" world. Farming Simulator being one of the perennial cases. (...) the game actually implements numerous technologies that the "real" farming consistently refuses. Quicker iterations, quicker development, quicker releases and responsiveness to customers.

Oh yes. Game designers - and same goes for any fiction authors, really - have two things going for them here. One, they can skip the grind; the boring and annoying distractions from the goal that are also necessary to achieve it in the real world. And two, as you noticed, fictional worlds can be designed to work.

Like, what's the difference between a tractor in Farming Simulator and in the real world? The simulated tractor is meant to work - to do the stuff the tractors do. The real tractor is first and foremost meant to make money for manufacturer; whether it works and can do the tractor stuff, that's incidental.

Or in short, games implement the child's view of the world, where things are what they seem to be. Bakers bake bread, firemen help people, singers sing so everyone has fun, etc. Everyone plays their role straight. The real life, unfortunately, has people doing whatever to survive in a more or less structured matter; it may manifest in bakers and firemen and singers, but their roles and value provided are incidental and they're not fulfilled and they'd all rather be somewhere else.

The child's worldview is a lie. It's honest, it's good, it makes sense, but it's a fucking lie. I'm still having difficulties processing that it's a lie. And it's all too easy to immerse yourself in sci-fi/fantasy videogames or shows or books, because they all assume the world makes sense, that things are what they seem, what they're supposed to. When things are not what they seem, that's a goddamn plot twist.

So yeah, I can't help but daydream about how the world could look like if we could just do stuff directly, instead of incidentally as a way to make money to survive (and eventually, enough money to tell the world to GTFO, so we can live out our own fantasies of a world that works).
The Iraqi Kurdistan (KRG) you mention has friendly relations with Turkey.
> Intel's board was focused on extracting value from the company instead of innovating

But then they failed at that as well. Their share price almost never increased after 2000s. Currently they are valued lesser than their 1996's valuation, even if you exclude inflation. Highest they went was $263B valuation in 2021, which is nowhere close to tech giants.
This reads as extremely centralistic and patronizing. Just provide a web form where schools can apply for funds. Have a local representative visit them and describe the local situation to allow a small central team to allocate suitable funds.
The CPU for complex stuff and GPU for simple number crushing is a really popular narrative. It's true in one sense and nonsense in another, determined solely on the software it's running.

If your program has one or two threads and spends all its time doing branchy control flow, a CPU will run it adequately and a GPU very poorly. If the program has millions of mostly independent tasks, a GPU will run it adequately and a CPU very poorly. That's the two limiting cases though and quite a lot of software sits somewhere in the middle.

The most concise distinction to draw between the hardware architectures is what they do about memory latency. We want lots of memory, that means it ends up far from the cores, so you have to do something while you wait for accesses to it. Fast CPUs use branch predictors and deep pipelines to keep the cores busy, fast GPUs keep a queue of coroutines ready to go and pick a different one to step along when waiting for memory. That's roughly why CPUs have a few threads - all the predictor and wind back logic is expensive. It's also why GPUs have many - no predictor or wind back logic, but you need to have a lot of coroutines ready to go to keep the latency hidden.

Beyond that, there's nothing either CPU or GPU can do that the other cannot. They're both finite approximations to Turing machines. There are some apparent distinctions from the hosted OS abstraction where the CPU threads get "syscall" and the GPU threads need to DIY their equivalent but the application doesn't care. Threads on either can call fprintf just fine. It makes a bit of a mess in libc but that's alright (and done in LLVM already).

I tried many times to switch to Firefox from Chrome and went back every single time. Yesterday by mistake I started Firefox with a few hundred tabs - it was using 128GB of memory and simply died. Chrome handles thousands of tabs without an issue. The only lean browser is Safari. Many sites don't work on Firefox or Chrome, but never had any issues with Safari.

Is it different from the regular C25K apps? If yes, how?

Let me tell my experience with those: about 5 years ago I started to live healthy. I got reasonably fit, my BMI became fantastic, I even had visible abs for some years. But I couldn't run more than 200 meters without fighting for my life.

These apps have like a 30-50 days schedule: run 2 minutes, walk 2 minutes, repeat 10 times, then the walk/run intervals keep changing, until the end it reaches 30 minutes of continuous run.

I did everything to the T, but still, I was struggling, and felt dying around day 7 or so. I started these a couple of times, but I have no idea who can really complete them. (Okay, today I can run 10K, but that took literally years of trial and error...)

I don't know if the above sounds familiar, or makes any sense to you. If yes, is it somehow addressed in your solution?
I think it's less grammatically ambiguous with make. It implicitly means "make <the project>". For most projects that's pretty well defined (and also grammatically correct since 'make' is a verb and 'just' is not).

But even so it would have been a better design for `make` to list top level targets or something.

Why is the problem the feed? Why isn't the problem the very fact of wanting and trying to be informed of things far away out of your control in the first place?

It's all about investing a little time to learn something that dramatically speeds up your workflow. A mainstream user has no interest in this even if they work with the computer all day. Hackers as computer enthusiasts do.

I think I’ve finally cut out Reddit and Threads from my life. I actively ignore looking at anything from those sites unless I’m looking for a product review or something on Reddit.

Reddit constantly had me feeling like life was hopeless, and that I was never gonna be enough, and I could never get excited about anything because I was conditioned to see things through a cynical lens. Sometimes HN does that for me too though, just more intellectually, maybe eventually I’ll quit this place too but it’s a decent news source.

I was able to perceive all of them, using the "focus on something behind the plane of the monitor surface" technique (rather than the "bring your face up close and slowly move away while keeping your eyes focused the same" technique, which I find has been a bit hit-and-miss).

I found that the π and ∞ stereograms were easier for me than the graph ones, as it's easier to snap to focus once you recognise the general outline of the shape. The graph ones were a bit harder for me, although that may just be the colours used.
They aren't, debit cards are the default. Credit cards are just readily available and people like having credit.

Credit access in the US is ludicrous, you can be a terrible borrower (late or even tons of charge offs) and still get credit offers for credit cards. A lot of people then get into trouble because somewhere in their psychology the credit limit counts as money they "have" even though they understand they have to pay it back. That's why you have people talking about literally freezing their cards in a block of ice to control their spending.

The only photographs I regret are the ones I didn't take, because I felt weird about taking them at the time, or just assumed they wouldn't come out. I remember the Tetons, and being at the same place that Ansel Adams made a wonderful photo so many decades ago, before the trees along the river grew to full height and completely made it impossible to recreate, but the experience of being there was worth it.

We're at the point now where photographs and storage are effectively free. Take your photos, in RAW if you like, but do yourself the favor of just throwing away the blurry ones, the ones that were obviously bad. You don't need to keep looking at those forever.

I keep mine in folders yyyy / yyyymmdd / camera folder / image_name, and I never edit the originals... I always save them with a new name the first thing I do... I lost my favorite photo of a late friend that way, and now only have the 1/4 scale thumbnail as a result, never again!

One of my favorite photos was taken with a $90 pocket camera (before cell phones) that I borrowed from my bride after my DSLR died.[1] That little Nikon had a "sports mode" in which it would just keep taking photos until you told it to stop... so I laid down in front of "The Bean" in Chicago and made a hemispherical panorama.

The one time I took my own breath away was when I combined 2 panoramas of Chicago, shot from the same point with the same setup, day and night... when I slide the layer transparency in GIMP and stopped.... I actually gasped.[2]

It's fun to take the DSLR out and shoot with it, when health permits. Have fun.

They certainly increased the chances by replacing the burnt roof with an as of yet unburnt one. Not saying that that would have been the prefered solution. And of course they tried to mitigate this increase in flamability with a modern fire protection solution.

Learn as much math as you can stand in college. No matter what you end up doing down the line this will pay off well. A math minor is an excellent addition to e.g. an electrical engineering degree (I speak from exxperience here).

Read https://80000hours.org/ . Even if you have no intention of doing EA-type stuff, their career advice is unparalleled for a generalist, ambitious audience.

>Some advice I've seriously considered is just reading and learning as much as possible then starting a company when I come across an opportunity.

Apply for 100 jobs first after you graduate and then see how you feel about this idea. If, after those 100, you don't find anything that feels like a good fit, revisit this plan. (Chances are the job descriptions themselves for what you apply for will help massively in steering what kind of startup you tackle.)

>[W]hat do I do if the startup fails?

Assuming you have actually applied for those jobs and made a serious effort at the startup, you should now have enough experience to apply for a further 100 jobs and have greater success. The great thing about life is this is an iterated game and you can just keep alternating between these things until you find your productive niche in the economy.

>[I]s it worth it to go to graduate school or medical school? How do I decide?

From a purely financial standpoint, usually not. From a career standpoint, given that you are very undecided at the current time, I would still say no. Wait until you find a niche you can really sink your teeth into in the actual world before you revisit this idea.

Remember: The Georgia Tech online master's in CS is $7000 flat, chump change for anyone with a full time job, and other degrees are becoming more flexible and even cheaper. If you really don't feel like even saving up that much you can drop out of most PhD programs, which are fully funded, after 2 years and recieve an "honorary" master's degree out of them.
They have destroyed the rest of their industrial capacity and economy in the process, an outcome very much desired by US and friends.
