Oh absolutely, I've long railed on about how absurdly weak and pitiful "truth in advertising" laws are in the US, but suggesting that a homeopathic medicine should not be able to call itself a "remedy" or "medicine" or anything like that drives people absolutely insane in the US. How dare you ~take away~ slightly change the label on my sugar pills!

Consider that, if you pay someone to say something as a "testimonial", you can say basically whatever you want and face no legal consequences. It shouldn't be the job of the average consumer to take corps to court for selling shit based on lies, yet it is.

One thing I would like in PyTorch is for a tensor’s shape to be a fundamental part of its type. That is, disable implicit broadcasting and if an operation would require adding dimensions to inputs, require those inputs to be type cast to the correct shape first.

I can’t tell you how much time I have wasted on broadcasting bugs, where operations “work” but they aren’t doing what I want them to.

The critical part is getting all the non-exciting stuff done at community college. There’s a useless cultural construct we have that says that CC is for a lower tier of student. Obviously this is absolute poppycock, since paying $2000 a year for college vs $20,000 only proves that you don’t like pissing away money. It’s not like English 112 is taught by world-class professors at Stanford or UW. It’s taught by some random TA. But many types of people (even myself) felt pressure to “attend a 4-year school” right from the start.

The best argument for it actually is purely social — community colleges (for no real reason though) don’t have dorms, so the ‘commuter school’ experience can be socially isolating, whereas for outgoing types mixing with all your fellow freshman in a dorm can be very socially rewarding and help establish major friendships. I think they should add on-campus living to community college.
Some places sex the eggs. Germany, France, Switzerland and many other places completely do without so it is hardly mandatory.

Agreed re approximating and use of constants. Admittedly, I haven’t looked into PRNGs much since my numerical analysis college days! On simulation I did once do some work with Monte Carlo using quasi-random sequences (e.g Sobol), which can provide better coverage than pure randomness for certain problems.

(Pushing my fox out entirely and putting on my arch-reductionist hat I'd say anything you experience from drug addiction to listening to classical vs rap music makes some kind of change in your brain and the ability of us to quantify and detect that is a measure of our progress.)

Made fun of a post-doc lab instructor that was under the lab director's purview.

I shit you not. He got upset that someone was - verbally - making fun of this guy. He was a goofy as fuck guy, so I see why 18-22 year olds would do that. I wouldn't because he was a good guy with a good heart, he just looked goofy, acted goofy, and plain old WAS goofy, but that's not enough for me to make fun of someone.

It is enough, actually, but I would never do it maliciously, and I would always do it to someone's face, and it would always... always be good-natured, not intentionally cruel.
They are compared regarding "cost to the company". A median salary in Spain is 24k€/year, plus social security, which makes it around 31k/yr per employee. Yet I've seen several companies using crappy services' free tier (definitely not targeted for businesses) because paying 140€/yr for MS365 Business Standard and 85€/yr for 1Password was too much when "we can use Google Drive [with 'personal' Google Accounts not controlled by the organisation in any way] for free, and KeePassXC synced through Drive".

Now, compare 250-300€/employee/year with how much you spend on salaries, and think how much it's hurting productivity to have these weird (and probably against TOS) arrangements, compared to just paying a few bucks for software.

How to Create More Startups
Is the biggest problem that startups dont get enough help, or that there Arent enough startups? I think the last. incubators seem to contribute to the first, while YC is somewhere in the middle between making new startups and helping them. I think im onto something that solely focuses on creating more startups: nurturing sideprojects.

Everything starts on the side? Am i wrong? Its "on the side" for 5 minutes, or 15 years. It becomes a startup or stays a hobby. By nurturing and matching people wanting to coop on SideProjects we expand the funnel. Ive made a community with 300+ people https://fenomener.framer.website/

It's hard to explain to people who only get sad what real depression can do. In my case exacerbated by childhood/early adulthood trauma and homelessness, as well as ADHD, bipolar type II, and tourettic OCD. Some insensitive people who think they are smarter than health researchers think that's just a string of labels, but anyone actually suffering from those afflictions understands that they are typically comorbid and can have aassive effect on the range of highs and lows experienced in just five minutes, much less a day or week.

My sister tried killing herself twice in the last two years. That situation financially drained me during a time when I'd just been forced out of a CTO position during a hostile takeover, and, among other circumstances, caused me to completely crash out. I stopped talking to everyone, dropped a lot of responsibilities and hobbies, and just retreated to my comforts for a year. Hardest wave of depression I've had since I was a child getting beaten regularly, or a young adult having immense existential crises around my future prospects.

I can already tell that it will take a dew years to become normal again. Just hoping this was my early midlife crisis and that things will cruise from here for a while.

Is nature granular, or discreet? – Is 0.999 =1.0?
I am a complete novice in terms of the fields this relates to, but I found it surprising that I haven't seen it documented or heard reference to what I see as a pretty obvious connection between the "smooth" vs "granular" debate at sub-quantum (planck) scales and the proofs and resulting rule in mathematics that 0.999…=1.0 ... Is this already established, or presented somewhere?

HN's software handles votes in a somewhat complex way because of the anti-abuse measures we've built over the years. There's no way to operate a site like this without such complexity. For example, people are constantly trying to manipulate the voting system to boost their posts or their friends' posts. We have to do things to counteract that.
Sure, it's never going to be plug and play, but it doesn't mean that all the issues will be equivalent. Vacuuming doesn't really have an equivalent in say, MySQL. It's something you don't have to worry about if you use the latter.

For example, HA and clustering will always be challenging to deploy/maintain, but you will still have a harder time doing that with postgres than with MySQL. Postgres also has a lot of benefits obviously, though.

I have one of these "40 year quests" too, but it's a cartoon.

Maybe you clever folk will be more ingenious than I've been.

The story goes like this:

An old king's life is upended one day when a beautiful, mysterious woman appears and says she'll grant youth and her hand in marriage to the man that completes some challenges. The only challenge I remember was that she sets up 3 cauldrons: One had boiling oil. One had milk. The last had ice-cold water.

The king wants to see it work first so he points to a random little boy and orders him to jump into the cauldrons or he'd be put to death.

The boy leaps into each cauldron and there's a terrible delay on the last one. The cold water cauldron even freezes over.

The boy breaks out of the last cauldron and has been transformed into a strapping young man.

The king, seeing proof that it works, decides to jump into the cauldrons. However, when he hops out, he's still an old man.

The woman announces that the magic only works once, and she and the stable boy walk away together, arm-in-arm.

...

I've searched for it online a fair bit but I've never found it.

Some details from my memory:

* The cartoon was very short (less than 30 minutes. probably closer to 10 or 15)
* It had no dialog, only sound effects and music.
* A woman's voice narrated it. I can still hear her.
* Now that I'm grown, I see it having a Slavic or Russian aesthetic.
* The woman had black hair and a long white dress.
* The king was very short with a big white beard.
* The boy, when he turns into a man, has pointy boots and shoulder pads. :)
* Probably made between 1975 and 1985
* Part of an anthology (many cartoons on one VHS tape... ours had been run so much that it started to skew and stretch the image)

...

In my mind, it's aesthetically very similar to an heirloom that my grandmother made and I assume that's why I've always wanted to find it.

ChatGPT and the intertubes in general haven't been very useful.
