With over five years of experience in Software Engineering, specifically creating solid products using Python(Django, Flask, FastAPI, etc.), Go, and JavaScript, I can assure you of reliable, tested, and scalable products. My experience working on full-stack projects ensures the delivery of a product that works end-to-end by working together with other engineers to deliver the perfect results.
Have you read the subtle art of not giving a fuck? - you are a perfect example of what happens when someone achieve their goal. They feel empty, with nothing to do.
Sad
And alone.

Now you need to find yourself a new purpose. Only you can find it, maybe that can help: figure out that plants are the top of the food chain, and the more we treat them well... the most fun we have around them!
Explore the spiritual world, help others who haven't been as lucky as you, be hurt, and heal again, that's life man.

*You could join me in a suicide/impossible mission to save the world, but i doubt you will - nobody is mad enough to follow me in this endeavour.
For sleep I would love a timer setting to stop the sound after some time! Other than that looks great. :)
What this guy definitely needs is a bicycle.
You're welcome!

Hopefully someone can make recommendations for books (or other references) which address the next two aspects of math I'll need, conic sections and Bézier curves/surfaces.

I have found:

- _Practical Conic Sections_ by J.W. Downs

- https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVwxzDHniEw

and I'm reading through _METAFONT: The Program_ but if someone could provide a list of math texts which build from the Make: <foo> series (the coverage of conic sections in them was sparser than I was hoping for) I'd be glad of it. Links to helpful Github repositories would be welcome as well (for reviewing once I've digested the books).
This is why you have kids lmao
> revived that activity as useful data

Revived as compressed text associations, it is potentially useful data, but also potentially totally wrong in non-obvious ways. (Or, to riff on Futurama, "The worst kind of incorrect.")
Hey, I'm looking for better opportunities , Are there any java-based roles for your product?
I found these useful:

"The latest version of XiangShan achieves a normalized score of 45 at 3GHz on SPECint 2006. With the performance comparable to ARM Neoverse N2, it is the highest performing open-source processor to our knowledge."

Yeah I'm not saying that masks don't help. Just that these numbers don't prove that. There's so many more cultural and medical differences.
I was laid off as a JavaScript developer last from a job where I wasn’t even really writing JavaScript at that job.

After 6 months of what felt like lying on a resume to compete with children I gave up. Then Raytheon contacted me to do geospatial engineering. That was going to be a very long drive through very heavy traffic. While I was waiting on security clearance validation a different group reached to me with a work from home position for a little less money doing enterprise API management.

Shortly after taking that job I made a promise to myself that I would never take a JavaScript job again. I still write JavaScript/TypeScript applications for personal use though. I have since been promoted twice and enjoy the work much more even though I really like writing JavaScript. I am not around a bunch of pretenders afraid to touch a keyboard without two or more ridiculously massive frameworks telling them exactly how to proceed.

My best recommendation is if you cannot find employment doing what you know or don’t like what you are doing try something wildly different.
Indeed, and I think your comment throws some light on the depths of the topic. It's easily one of the most profound topics, and is worth exploring in and of itself (even if in this case the blog post author came off extremely tone deaf).
That is absolutely great! But I will be really impressed if humanity as a whole ever "flattens the CO2 curve" -- still going up at a greater than linear rate!
There are people traveling the world all their life because that is what they love to do.
Doesn’t SO2 in the upper atmosphere help to prevent the sun from warming the Earth as much?
>I think it's more simply that the market of people who want an EV and can afford a Tesla is now saturated.

Very likely, but I know of at least one person (me) who didn’t buy a Tesla due to what the parent comment brings up.
Vera Rubin Observatory will soon use the largest ever digital camera
Maybe I misunderstood, and if I did it makes for an interesting discussion, but your explanation is mainly about what CTEs can be used for not what they can not be used for.

In my experience, normalizing tables is mostly for simplifying inserts. When you write business logic it is rather the opposite, you want non-normalized data because this is where the data is all in one place. And this de-normalization is a great use of CTEs. As well as a general cleanup of the input data, which was my original point.
Being insecure is indeed a pretty basic human "drive", but I don't think it's particularly mature either. I don't have any data but my intuition tells me that those tend to wane over time.
> though being wealthy certainly helps

I think it is worse actually.
I was getting ready to pile on, but then saw the dude boxes. Anyone who voluntarily risks getting punched in the face gets my respect.

Sadly I'm not of independent means like him, so I can't really relate but good luck to him. He's managed what most of us here dream of.

TBH, I'd say to him to reach out to other ex-founders and chat to them. They'll probably have the best perspective. Or become a partner at YC or something.
Probably diminishing returns, but sometimes I think there is also selection bias, with ultra rich getting there because of never ending satisfaction, so it is contingent on the type of the human. Satisified person would stop sooner while never satisfied would naturally become the richest.
The impact was mitigated somewhat by states adding their own NN legislation. There has definitely been an increase in zero rating certain services like Spotify etc which creates new barriers to entry for smaller businesses though.
Neat charts. I know it’s a worst case, but getting a 0.5% annual return over 20 years would be pretty brutal.
Ah I see. I only used it since the beginning and I hated it and didn't go back. Certainly didn't explore json options :) Thanks!

I really hate working on windows too and our company is tightening stuff down so crazily that I can hardly work anymore so I mostly work on my home lab in Linux and transfer stuff there. Totally not allowed by my employer but they make it impossible for me to work otherwise.

I'd imagine quite a few, given their ad revenue.
The poster said "DOGE is BS". DOGE is looking to make the government more efficient, so the poster said "making the government more efficient is BS".

Thus my question seems like a pretty good rephrasing.
Author doesn't look like he cares much about other people. Dude left a job making 60 mil because of "NPCs and politics"... You could fund a school with that kind of many and still have enough to brag about your gaming setup
The more interesting question IMO is not how good the code can get. It is what must change for the AI to attain the introspective ability needed to say "sorry, I can't think of any more ideas."
why are you limiting your argument to wake words?
It's comparatively trivial to serve ads based upon what's spoken after the wake word.

And as we know from the lawsuit, it seems that there's been a lot of data gathered accidentally too.
Net neutrality is more about backhaul and peering. None of that goes away with more competition at the subscriber level. In fact, it become far more significant.
The idealist in me also hates the idea of unelected "government experts" having a wide berth to do whatever they think is best since I know that 50% of the time they'll be appointed by / taking orders from [Insert part(ies) I don't like] and thus they'll be against my interests.

But the pragmatist in me still winces at all the stupidity that happens in the real world because Congress hasn't passed many useful laws in 25 years. Most ideas are put into place by executive fiat because we only have two functioning branches of government now. (Yes, I agree that it's still better than just having one!)
One reason why I truly hope I have enough financial independence by the time I have kids. But maybe you can become a good grandpa at some point?
I turned 50 this year, and most of my life has been spent working in the construction industry. I started as an electrician and then transitioned to low voltage tech, primarily working with fire/security/CCTV systems. I never really believed in retirement, probably because I never got into the habit of saving money. I used to joke that my only retirement plan was to work until I was 105.

I have two daughters who came into my life much later. As I reflect on my future and the potential decline in my physical capabilities, I still consider myself in better shape than the average 50-year-old. I've always had a knack for technology, and in the 90s, I took a computer repair course when there were no computer science degrees available. However, I never embraced the office lifestyle, likely because I was young and didn't want to be confined to a desk all day.

Recently, I discovered cybersecurity and earned my certificate from Google's entry-level cybersecurity course. I found it fascinating—the idea of stopping malicious threat actors who seek to disrupt society is truly compelling. While I appreciate open-source knowledge and used it extensively in my learning, I strongly dislike those who exploit it to cause harm.

I can see myself working in cybersecurity well into my 70s, if not beyond. Despite the occasional doom and gloom, I am genuinely excited about the future of humanity. I love the idea of AI and robots assisting us in becoming better as a collective race. I understand that balance is crucial—we can't have the good without the bad—but I believe the benefits will outweigh the negatives for humanity.

I've always dreamed of a world where everyone collaborates to better humanity, rather than just focusing on individual success. This is the path I'm on now after turning 40. I wish you the best and hope this sheds some light on my journey.
I did a semester at the university of Edinburgh and took database systems and logic programming at the same time, and I definitely felt the synergy between them.
Very poor spiritual or philosophical foundation. Why not dedicate a year or two studying meaning itself from many diverse sources? Reminded me of a friend who told me once: Mount Everest is full of dead bodies of bored millionaires.
But this case is totally innocent, continuing with DOGE would have been great tho. The dangers come when they start using networking and political power to play god and plan on eugenics or eco-communist kind of ideas/projects hallucinating they are "saving the world" as ants hallucinating the jungle needs them.
This is all of a piece with the Burmese government trying to ban VPNs. Controlling information is The Game. If you can, or cannot, control information, then it does not even matter whether you can control anything physical.
It could also mean Amazon dot com has decided that it was not possible to kill honey and it was better to join them rather than trying to and failing to kill honey.

I think it is already proven that honey does not automatically show the best coupons for its users. So how and when does honey decide to hold back? The conspiracy theory is honey decides to hold back when there is an agreement with the vendor. Now logically, why would honey intentionally give its users a poorer experience? It makes sense to me that honey will only do so intentionally if honey is getting paid to do so.

Any reason we're seeing so many CDC tools pop up?
I visited China in 2014 and I have literally wondered out loud this morning whether air pollution has improved since then. I am gald to hear the answer is yes!
People have always been emotional about their choice of software, I guess. But people are treating George, who has shown nothing but good faith this past 15 years of iTerm2 development, like the product manager of Windows Recall. That's a whole new level of emotional response which I don't understand where it's even coming from.
Something major missing from the LLM toolkit at the moment is that it can't actually run (and e.g. test or benchmark) its own code. Without that, the LLM is flying blind. I guess there are big security risks involved in making this happen. I wonder if anyone has figured out what kind of sandbox could safely be handed to a LLM.
Great post this helps me reflect with my own insecurities about freedom vs agency. I think what you’re experiencing is very human. Finding meaning in life is in fact the most human thing I can think of. The answer is not clear but the beauty in the answer is it’s very open ended.

Thank you to the author. I hope you find what you’re looking for.
Social security disability has much higher admin cost percentage.

But regardless, a 10% improvement in efficiency, in one government program, potentially saves almost $1B.

That seems quite striking to me when you think about all the US government programs.
Read through most of these comments unsatisfied myself. Sad to see people be mean.

In my humble opinion, some spirituality gives one true purpose beyond this limited and at times unfulfilling material realm. It will provide compassion and gratitude for all beings. Buddha too was a Prince with unimaginable wealth. Wealth is not necessarily by itself a path to happiness.

I’d go find a spiritual space that appeals to you. It’s not easy as people with riches like the Beatles and people without like the hippies of the 60s too spent their life finding it. Read about George Harrison, for e.g.

FWIW I found my spiritual space at this tiny piece of heaven called Bhakti SF.
I wasn't suggesting that there aren't a lot of variables for guitars. Possibly more than for cymbals. My point was there is a lot of variables for cymbals even if it's perhaps less obvious.
Gource is very useful getting up-to-speed on a new project. It gives you a quick visual history of the project and usually makes it clear where the problem spots are: the places with the most laser fire are the fire fights.
Although it is a general concern that governments are constantly encroaching on our private conversations I cannot help but wonder why Serbia is singled out. There are much more authoritarian examples of survailence technology and draconian laws in the West, examples being Australia UK Spain, etc
> But the new AI training methods are currently, at least imho, not a violation of copyright - not any more than a human eye viewing it

Interesting comparison - as if a human viewed something, memorized it and reproduced in a recognisable way to be pretty much the same, wouldn't that still breach copyright?

ie in the human case it doesn't matter whether it went through an intermediate neural encoding - what matters is whether the output is sufficiently similar to be deemed a copy.

Surely the same is the case of AI?
People accused Facebook of this for years, and it was Apple all along. So much for the privacy-first company nonsense they've been spouting for years. The fact that this fine is so low is a real injustice. How is this not bigger than Cambridge Analytica?
I don't disagree. But I think there's at least some positive correlation. The highest quality is unlikely to be the least popular and vice versa.
If it was just a car company, it wouldn’t have the P/E ratio it does. It’s a technology company that makes cars (and self driving systems, AI, and robots).
Depression doesn't care about how mundane your problems are. Some people have horrible things happening to them and they don't get depressed - while others struggle with common setbacks that everyone experiences.

IMHO, the author sounds like he's missing a lot of perspective on things, and talking to other people could help with that - preferably even in a group setting.
I get this all the time with firefox on linux + ublock origin extension. Often ending up with that blocked ip page.

I mostly shrug off and just avoid visiting that kind of sites again. For an unsubscribe challenge I just copy paste the url and visit it using firefox focus on my smartphone on my mobile connection.
Also flattr, long ago. That failed too, unfortunately.
Yes. Some climate scientists believe that the unexpected increase in warming over the last couple of years is an unintended consequence of SO2 reduction.
I wasn't suggesting using GitHub. In fact, I don't think I was aware that GitHub even listed reverse dependencies. Where is that in the UI?
I once sat with my manager and repeatedly asked Copilot to improve some (existing) code. After about three iterations he said “Okay, we need to stop this because it’s looking way too much like your code.”

I’m sure there’s enough documented patterns of how to improve code in common languages that it’s not hard to get it to do that. Getting it to spot when it’s inappropriate would be harder.
Using the tool in this way is a bit like mining: repeatedly hacking away with a blunt instrument (simple prompt) looking for diamonds (100x speedup out of nowhere). Probably a lot of work will be done in this semi-skilled brute-force sort of way.
Any link to carriers 0 rating Spotify? I believe you but am also in the same boat of looking for literally any downside to net neutrality being canned.

That said even this would hardly count as a negative for users though you're spot on about it hurting competition for other streaming services - on the other hand it's a way for ISPs to compete. Hmmm... still haven't formed an opinion on this issue yet.
When reading the title I thought of "walled gardens," as in collaborative sites with heavy moderation/curation, but a lot of these seem to be just personal sites with careful attention to aesthetics, function, and content. And how can I trust any list like that which doesn't include gwern.net?
I am curious how it was to work under his rule. I don’t feel any harmony. No harmony combined with wealth does not guarantee bright happy future.
Oh. Is "number of times someone has cloned this repo" data you can query Github for that they don't expose on their GUI? I was entirely unaware that that was popularity-contest information that Github provided.
Bring back the webrings!
Philosophy, frankly, also only provides questions, not answers.
That’s anything Microsoft makes these days.
Almost everywhere in the former Yugoslavia is more safe than in the West. But it is not only safe, you will very easily make friends as people are much more open to forming friendships. Belgrade is one of my favourite cities. Never been to Nis
Anything to do with bots, fraud, etc can generally be processed under the "legitimate interest" legal basis. You don't need consent.

I sometimes dream of video stickers, where you could put some short video on it, and then just put it on the paper notebook page
That's helpful to know. I wasn't aware of this.
What if I want to discover a new better way to write code?
PG's internal wal-level replication? primary to a read-replica, and then switch the read to become the primary. You'll have a bit of downtime while you stop connections on the original server, switch the new server to primary, and update your app config to connect to the new server.

I believe that's a pretty standard way to provide "HA" postgres. (We use Patroni for our HA setup)

The hard part is finding a therapist that works for you.

Therapy is such a broad spectrum from psychoanalysis to behavior therapy. It is very unlikely that you just click with the first therapist that you visit, it can take years to find someone.

Two years without any tangible progress sound extremely unethical from the therapist. Yes, therapy takes time but it still something you do for a fixed time period with hopefully clear goals where you track your progress.

And yes, the actual work is done by the patient. Just like a personal trainer can not just work out for you.
Get admitted to online UIUC iMBA or BU OMBA, take the marketing/sales/entrepreneurship courses, quit.
Not all LLMs must be equally lobotimized!

The default should be like the "Safe Search" defaults on search engines: Nothing gross, no ultra violence, no porn.

There should also be the soft pink fluffy version for children, helpful AI bots, and the like.

The unfettered base model should be available via API keys for professional users, with the usual warnings of: "This can and will be rude, mean, sexist, etc..."

Why can't I have steak? Because a baby can't chew it and might choke?
They do. They absolutely do. Not a week goes by without a blatant case on my phone. I'd wager everything I own on this.
It'd be great if it could describe the performance of code in detail, but for now just adding a skill to detect if a bit of code has any infinite loops would be a quick and easy hack to be going on with.
Hi there. You’ve left 21 comments about Covid and vaccines in the last three hours, now you’re cussing people out and it’s time to turn your phone off and go to bed.
Your shop might be open sure - but aren't we talking about people coming in and taking whatever they like for free?

ie if you were an art gallery, the expectation would be people could come in and look, but you don't expect them to come in, photograph everything and then sell prints of everything online.
My sister would do this to me on car trips with our Mad Libs games - yeah, elephant is funny, but bunny would be funnier!!

When all you have is syntax, something like "better" is 100% in the eye of the beholder.
