The article opposes fullfilment and happiness to depression, anxiety and burnout.

I feel this is a mistake. There are a million things I love doing. My depression and anxiety, I feel, does NOT come from not having the right objectives.

It comes from the far more ponderous million obstacles that are constantly thrown in my path. Much in the name of self-righteousness, much in the name of lazyness, or incompetence or callousness, much in the name of "we'll make a law, that will solve it right up". Our so-called advanced society fails us constantly. That's EXHAUSTING. I don't have a problem finding fullfiling things. I have a problem of not enough (effective) staff and not enough years left to do the fun stuff in spite of that bullshit.

I was similarly reading the dispair of someone who needed to file paperwork ludicrously complicated for the purpose, and had a hard time mustering the energy to do that. And I totally understand them: some US administrative paperwork is just plain evil. In the name of what?

Does SpaceX bother with NOTAM for its launches?

It seems like the flights should have been planned around it so no diversion would be needed.
Oh yeah that would be a great use of AR, totally agree, and feel like we’re not even that far off on this one.
It’s how any sensible business sets prices. Your cost sets a floor, that’s all. You set the price at whatever level makes the most money.

Many prices end up being a little higher than costs, but that’s because competition drives prices down close to the floor, not because businesses set out to do that.

Why do grocery stores have coupons? It’s not because they’re charitable. It’s because coupons are a way to charge higher prices to people more willing to pay. Trying to figure out your customer’s willingness to pay and matching that with your price is nothing new or unusual. The tactics just change when the purchase is big enough to have dedicated salespeople.

You can think of Yjs as a protocol for data synchronization. It gives you a way to describe a JSON-like data structure (i.e. nested lists and maps), and keep them in sync across multiple devices.

Yjs itself doesn't provide a platform, but it's an open protocol so there there are service providers (like ourselves[1]) that offer Yjs backends as a service (other notable providers are TipTap/Hocusocus and Liveblocks).

No, airlines do not build in a safety factor sufficient to cover an important measurement being off by a factor of 10.

They don't ground flights because the pilot might load 2,000 litres of fuel instead of 20,000 litres. They don't take evasive action in case the other plane is travelling at 5,000 knots instead of 500 knots. They don't insist on a 30-km runway because the runway published as 3 km might only be 300 metres.
The ships are on the other side of the planet, near Australia. They’ll be fine.
What I read when I read about the bicycle lane is that bike lanes were a requirement, the user persona was assigned to a casual recreational rider on a small low speed recreational (<24" wheels) (aka kids under 10), when in reality, that hill is used by a road cyclist commuter, would only be used by a confident cyclist that close to traffic on that steepb of hill.

It's not that the traffic engineer didn't care about a quality product, they didn't care to research who bikes (and have car brain), and have never traveled out of the US, to the Netherlands, or met a cyclist.
I made a Minecraft for books (inspired by James clear, author of atomic habits)
James Clear talks about connecting "knowledge trees"—linking ideas across books to spark fresh insights. It stuck with me. So many great reads (Zero to One, The Innovator’s Dilemma) feel like isolated islands, and we rarely stop to see how they might connect. What if combining them could create something entirely new?

I built a web game where you can mash up two books, and it generates a podcast exploring their overlap. The concept is a bit like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance—combining different industries, like science and art, to spark unexpected insights.

You implied that 1/3 of muslims would be willing to kill someone over a drawing of Muhammad.

The study doesn't say 1/3 of muslims say "it's ok to kill someone who draws images of Muhammad". It says "acts of violence". A vague and immeasurable term. Does that mean a punch? does it mean a stab? Jihad? The poll doesn't care.

I think it's just a regional data issue. Google Maps has a lot of errors in some areas (like my city, even in 2D).

But the 3D models looks fine in Boston, for example: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3533596,-71.0506014,21a,35y,...

You can try to report an issue by right-clicking and then "Report a data problem", but in my experience that never really gets anything fixed. Or ask your city to upload their own GIS data to https://contentpartners.maps.google.com/welcome if they don't already do that.

PS Those permalinks will only take you to the right perspective if you have "Globe View" enabled. If you don't, you have to click Layers -> More -> Globe View and then copy and paste the link again in the same browser window. Refreshing won't work. It also won't work in Incognito. I don't know why Google can't figure out how to make a proper permalink =/ Sigh.
Shifting the topic from research misconduct to good laboratory practices, I don't really understand how someone would forget to take pictures of their gels often enough that they would feel it necessary to fake data. (I think you're recounting something you saw someone else do, so this isn't criticizing you.) The only reason to run the experiment to collect data. If there's no data in hand, why would they think the experiment was done? Also, they should be working from a written protocol or a short-form checklist so each item can be ticked off as it is completed. And they should record where they put their data and other research materials in their lab notebook, and copy any work (data or otherwise) to a file server or other redundant storage, before leaving for the day. So much has to go wrong to get to research misconduct and fraud from the starting point of a little forgetfulness.

I mean, I've seen people deliberately choose to discard their data and keep no notes, even when I offered to give them a flash drive with their data on it, so I understand that this sort of thing happens. It's still senseless.

Yeah. If we feel strongly about Dorsey speaking, just don't go to the keynote? Imagine the keynote has few or even no audience, wouldn't that be strong enough a message? Dragging everyone down for one's own morality is not good for the conference or our society.
> mistrust of LLMs is going to be a short-lived thing as costs come down and more people use o1

I think the biggest question is, is o1 scalable. I think o1 does well because it is going back and forth hundreds if not thousands of times. Somebody mentioned in a thread that I was participating in that they let o1 crunch things for 10 minutes. It sounded like it saved them a lot work, so it was well worth it.

Whether or not o1 is practical for the general public is something we will have to wait and see.

I guess source control is a steep learning curve for the uninitiated. I use CLI and I'm mortified by GUI git clients. When you type in scary commands it requires a lot more intentionality than clicking a button.
Can recommend the documentary "David Lynch, The Art Life". For now appears to be here:

Worth emphasising: Project Euler is a mathematical computation challenge, not a programming challenge like Advent of Code. The principal skill is algorithm design and as the problems progress you need to do more and more maths before you start coding.

Thank you so much! Always glad to see long-time readers.

There was a period when I considered switching to an open-source model, but every time I was ready for a switch, OpenAI released a smarter and often cheaper model that was just too good to pass up.

Eventually I decided that the potential savings are not worth it in the long term - it looks like LLMs will only get cheaper over time and the cost of inference should become negligible.

Some backstory on this: we've been working on a storage primitive to power incremental docker builds for Blacksmith's GitHub Actions runners. We realized early on that this was going to be a useful capability on its own since we notice a ton of our users with massive cache restore/save times in their workflows.

Fun fact, we decided to call it "sticky disks" as a result of this old HN comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39957753
Well, 'fun fact', it is entirely possible to miss yourself with the first bullet, only taking the face/jaw, and having to shoot a second time to cut out the pain.

Another 'fun fact', in rural areas in my country, where most firearms are long rifles used to hunt big game, 'suicide' are ruled when someone else (young kids in all cases I've heard off) pull the trigger for the person who wanted to off himself.

[Edit] And yes having a dozen cousins and aunts in healthcare, and another half a dozen being social workers means I have a lot of 'fun fact' to share.

Nice work. Subscribed.

I had a very similar idea a while back. I wanted to rank news by "impact" which might be more concrete than "significance."

For an LLM prompt, it would be something like:

"estimate the number of people who's lives that will be materially changed by this news."
and
"estimate the average degree of change for those impacted."

Then impact is roughly the product of those two.

Additionally, I want a version that is tailored to me specifically "estimate the degree of change this will have on my life." + context of my life.

Tangentially, I've found that getting ratings out LLMs works better when I can give all options and request relative ratings. If I ask for rankings individually I get different and less good results. Not enough context length to rate all news from all time in one go though. Any thoughts on that? Maybe providing some benchmark ratings with each request could help? Something I'm exploring.
I disagree. Trevor Milton, the Nikola Motors fraudster CEO will be out after a laughable four years. That's a complete joke.
Agreed - I read the whole thing and I'm not sure what this even is. I guess an SSG and with a design system? If so, all the React bashing comes off like "airplanes are too complicated these days, check out this bicycle".

Edit: after checking the code samples, this looks a lot like svelte (pre-runes). So, single file components with templating with reactivity. I didn't get that at all from TFA..
> that also leads to the conclusion that western media and governments are incredibly effective at getting westerners to believe they're being targeted by Russian propaganda operations.

I don't think anyone believes that they're being successfully targeted by Russian propaganda. A lot of people believe, or claim to believe, that their political opponents have been successfully targeted by Russian propaganda, or that ideas that they don't like are Russian propaganda. But that's not really because they've been convinced of something that strongly goes against their interests/predispositions; it only requires them to believe that their opponents are stupid and they are smart, which they were already predisposed to believe. (And I suspect most of them know on some level that this is something they're professing rather than something they think is literally true)

> people surely want straight to the point content that they agree with, won't get incensed about, and won't consume nonstop while complaining that they hate it

Oh no, people enjoy righteous indignation and so media serves it to them. But the media establishment is not organised enough to direct that, certainly not through some 5D chess logic. Yes you do occasionally see false/slanted stories spread as outrage bait by people on the other side, but when those happen they're done by, like, literally 3 guys, and one of them spills the beans shortly after.

If you want a contemporary example, look at the UK media suppressing coverage of muslim child rape gangs for the past 10 years or so that's now kind of bubbling over into the mainstream discourse. Yes, it's creating a backlash effect, but if that was the deliberate intention then a propaganda payload that takes 10+ years to deliver results is not going to be useful for day-to-day politics (is Russia still going to be at war in 10 years, and if so, with who? Will e.g. Belarus be an ally or an enemy at that point?). And even at level 0 it was never really effective in changing minds - maybe it gave the people who wanted to pretend it wasn't happening an excuse to pretend it wasn't happening, but the people who cared about it managed to find out.

Theories of propaganda masterminds are comforting in the same way that conspiracy theories are - the idea that there's actually some competent entity that's got it all worked out. But in fact any entity large enough to spread propaganda is ipso facto too unwieldy to push anything but the simplest messages.
Nope, mine runs on a native Linux box featuring Intel i7-1370P and 32GB RAM. Maybe Xilinx has some tuning which makes Yocto become slow at parsing the recipe dependency and the likes.

I've tried asking the Xilinx community, and got only a reply saying that there is a database in Yocto which limits the scalability.
Wine? More likely vinegar I'd guess
That (five year certs) was technically true, but the CA/B BRs already told you that was going away in 2015 when Let's Encrypt was started. I don't know how many were still actually selling such a product by the point Let's Encrypt is on the scene.

I think the drop-dead date for this product was like April 2015 or so. The ideal customer for a product like this (lazy and also incompetent but with plenty of money) is also likely to leave it too late. I won't guarantee we'd have caught that, but unlike forbidden steps taken to avert a bigger mess of ones own making (as happened for SHA-1 deprecation, some notable financial outfits secured certs which should not have existed, to cover for the fact they hadn't properly managed their own technical risks) this seems like a product category thing, nobody was openly selling certs that would just break in Chrome, that's a bad product.

[Why would such certificates break in Chrome? Google hate these long lived certs so Chrome treats certificates which have validity exceeding what the BRs authorise as immediately invalid, if you want to moan to Google about why your prohibited certs don't work you're basically admitting you violated your agreement with them so it's like showing up to claim your stolen rucksack full of cocaine from the cops...]
Yeah, they have been covering space stuff for decades by now. They have literally dozens of remote cameras by now around Starbase and the Cape, funded by merch sales and community contributions. :)
The switch had the red and blue from launch. In the reveal trailer they only showed the grey, but then in the switch presentation they revealed the red and blue. I don't quite remember, but I think from then on they mainly used that in marketing. It could be the same situation here, but the fact that the joycons already have a hint of blue and red makes me think this will be the only version, as it's sort of a mix between the 2 versions of the original switch.

Personally I like it. I choose the grey version of the switch, and I think making the joycons the exact same colour as the system this time looks way better. Also I like the splash of colour rather than it being entirely grey/black.
Looking back, it’s astonishing how long it actually took the competition to catch up in terms of developing an equally responsive touchscreen that felt anything like as intuitive.
Nuejs uses markdown, which is not web. You cant claim to be standards-first, yet use something that is 100% non web-standard.

> I've seen posts here and on other blogs talking about a 100k web page ballooning to 8Mb because of all the Javascript needed to "collect page analytics" or do user tracking when ads are included

Perfect example. HN will see a page with 6Mb of images/video, 1Mb of CSS and 200Kb of JavaScript and say "look at how much the JavaScript is bloating that page".
I personally disliked being micromanaged. But even trying to leave personal feeling aside, I don't think he knew the team or the product well enough to micromanage the work effectively. It just made everybody more frustrated with him and work.

Well, maybe not everybody, but the others on the team that I talked with. As far as I know after only 9 months 75% of the team had been fired or left.

lazygit ! Just needed to throw out a mention because it’s an amazing tui for visual orientation, is super fast, and can be used with a mouse and keyboard (or just keyboard) from the terminal. I saw it mentioned on a thread here last year and have preferred it as a fast “oh crap I think I made a mess lets back up” tool over the more complex gui apps I’ve tried (almost all of them).
First time hearing about it, looks good but first impressions are mixed.

- Start out subscribed to spam, first messages are

- `A “Tiny Old Cave” Kitchen Got a $1,221 Makeover That “Feels 10 Times Cozier”`

- `My Mom Has Been Buying These Bath Towels for Years, and They're My Favorite, Too, They’re on sale!`

- Introduction video is a broken embed, pointing to a non-existent video

- Translations are mixed up in the interface. Some words German `Registrieren`, some English once you go to the next page `Sign Up`

- `Sponsorship opportunities are now available. Learn more.` after few minutes.

I understand the need for ads in a free tier, but also it's RSS, cmon. The tech cost can't be that high to justify this level persistent in your face.
I feel like a combination of both human input + algo could work.

For some definitions of “work” I agree.

But, a premise of the OP’s question seems to be a how-hard-could-it-be.

The color of the birds matters. That’s how hard aesthetics is. The shape matters too, for anyone who missed my larger point…and their names because the text is a graphic element.

And all the negative space.

If you want an analogy, there aren’t general purpose algorithms that solve 3-sat in the way we want it solved. Good solutions to specific problems require hand crafting a procedure tailored to the data.
Agree about "Blue Velvet" — too much Dennis Hopper, ha ha. Also agree the "Mulholland Drive" is a masterpiece.
> Switzerland? Israel?

I hope someone with a better understanding of the details can jump in, but they are both Tier 2 (not Tier 3) restricted, so maybe there are some available loopholes or Presidential override authority or something. Also I believe they can still access uncapped compute if they go via data centers built in the US.
Sounds a lot like bashing copy pasting from StackOverflow. So also like old argument “kids these days”.

No reasonable company pipes stuff directly to prod you still have some code review an d QA. So doesn’t matter if you copy from SO without understanding or LLM generates code that you don’t understand.

Both are bad but still happen and world didn’t crash.
Ya it's funny looking at all these 'business' programmers that if the application doesn't work can just loose the customer/money to another competitor. In regulated stuff you have to serve everyone. Much worse if your systems don't work there are potential consequences where people die and or there are riots in the street.
ML and Haskell-like languages are also good, although you can usually forget writing the terms and just construct everything in types.
Aha! Yes, very much harder.
> This isn't what "out of distribution" means. There can be ZERO images and it wouldn't mean something is OOD. OOD means not within the underlying distribution. That's why I made the whole point about interpolation.

Sure. I'll concede to that, although it's a bit pedantic.

> Is it scarce? Hard to tell. But I wouldn't make that assumption based on my examples. Search is poisoned now.

I was more referring to why it originally was used, not why it would still be used. In any case, I maintain that it was _not_ used for being OOD, which I mentioned in my first comment.

Yeah, I still hate it. Sorry. Give me markdown support and I'll be happy.
