Ask HN: How to stop taking on too many projects getting burned out?
I am currently swamped with projects. I can't point to any particular project and say "This one was to much" but all of them combined have got me totally overwhelmed.

Even though I know I have a tendency to take on too much, I still find myself in this situation repeatedly. I think back to 6 months ago when I was agreeing to do some of these projects and I remember my thought process: 'I better be careful not to take on too much. I better make estimates extremely conservative.'

Nevertheless I find myself having far too much to do and not enough time to do it in.

What techniques do you have for not taking on too much? How do I get to the magical state of being able to underpromise and overdeliver?
> The problem is sifting through all of the doomsayer false positives to get to any amount of cogent advice.

Why? Because we don't understand the risk. And apparently, that's enough reason to go ahead for the regulation-averse tech mind set.

But it isn't.

We've had enough problems in the past to understand that, and it's not as if pushing ahead is critical in this case. Would this address climate change, the balance between risk and reward could be different, but "AI" simply doesn't have that urgency. It only has urgency for those that want to become rich out of being first.
True for your immediate team, but if you work at a giant company where people from all over the world can send you messages and emails and meeting invites, you are always going to have to deal with people who you haven't gotten to know well and maybe have never even met!

Sure everything is incremental - but I think you are missing the key feature of the iPhone that really changed how you interacted with it.

A really great multi-touch screen - sure there were touch devices before - and even multitouch ones, but my recollection was they would both miss/confuse inputs and have significant input lag and most were single input - the iPhone just worked as you'd expect - it felt magical. 'You got me at scrolling'

If you take a great touch experience, and a software user interface rather than buttons, then you have a platform with infinitely reconfigurable interaction modes.

Form is function. The user interface ( in the broadest sense of how you interact with the computer ) is key. They delivered touch that worked, in a form factor you could hold.

One of the reasons ChatGPT feels revolutionary is it has changed how people interact with their computers - creating a new conversational mode - ( and sure Eliza goes back a long way as well - but that was a toy ).

How is “unelected bureaucrat” a partisan statement? Sounds like objective fact to me.
Trees are older than humanity, everyone knows how they work. The impact of new technologies is routinely impossible to forecast.

Did Gutenberg expect his invention would, 150 years later, set the whole Europe ablaze, and ultimately break the hold the Church had over people? Did he expect it to be a key component leading to accumulation of knowledge that, 400 years later, will finally make technological progress visibly exponential? On that note, did Watt realize he's about to kick-start the exponent that people will ride all the way to the actual Moon less than 200 years later? Or did Goddard, Oberth and Tsiolkovsky realize that their work on rocketry will be critical in establishing world peace within a century, and that the way this peace will be established is through a Mexican standoff between major world powers, except with rocket-propelled city-busting bombs instead of guns?

Static linking does not have to waste any RAM by duplicating code, even if it is frequently implemented in this way.

It is possible and not complicated to implement static linking in a way where the executable file retains the metadata about the component object files and also the OS retains some information about the object files that are already loaded in memory as parts of other executables.

In this case, when loading an executable, the component objects that are already present in memory can be omitted and the references to them in the executable can be adjusted.

While this is not done in the more popular operating systems, due to their preference for the more inefficient dynamic linking, the alternative is still possible.

Moreover, it is impossible to say in general which of static linking and dynamic linking wastes more memory. Static linking will have multiple copies of some code, while dynamic linking will have a lot of unused unreachable code, which is superfluous. Moreover, dynamic linking also has some execution time overhead.

In practice, with the typical bloated dynamic libraries that are available, I have seen much more memory wasted by dynamic linking than by static linking.

When only static linking is used, there is rarely much code duplication besides a small subset of the standard C library, which includes things like the wrappers for system calls and the functions for formatted I/O.

Therefore most of the benefit in reducing memory use from dynamic linking would be achieved with a single dynamic library, which should contain only a subset of libc.

Depending on the math (this is a hedge) you need, FORTRAN is probably faster still. Every time I fathom a test and compare python, fortran, and C, Fortran always wins by a margin. Fortran:C:Python 1:1.2:1.9 or so. I don't count startup I only time time to return from function call.

Most recently I did hand-looped matrix math and this ratio bore out.

I used gfortran, gcc, and python3.
No need to do anything silly like regulations when he can just turn off the funding.

But it's experts in their fields who are supposed to propose regulations, this is the way it should be. Why would I trust a politician to know about the nuances of electrical power stations for example to know how to regulate their installations ?

Usually yeah. London has buses every 10 mins on most routes. It can get very crowded at rush hour or school run time though. Several groups (OAPs, kids, disabled people...) get discounted or free bus passes which I wouldn't want to change.

Don't get me wrong - London public transport is fantastic. Extensive, frequent, convenient, and multi-modal. But the pricing is quite static so that people who use it for short inner-city journeys lose out a bit.
The printing press was used a lot on "both sides" during the reformation and positioning of existing power holders mattered quite a bit (what if Luther had been removed by the powers that be, for example?).

Yes, technology impacts social constructs and relationships but I think there is a tendency to overindex its effects (humans acting opportunistically vs technological change alone) as it in a way portrays humans and their interactions as more stable and deliberate (ie., the bad stuff wasn't humans but rather "caused" by technology).
I've used Bird & Bird in the past. Expensive though!
Here's this famous question (I can't readily find a source so I will say as I remember)

There is a scientist that studies color. She knows everything about it that can be possibly known. She knows the colors of everyday objects, she knows how colors work, how light's wavelength affects its transmission, etc etc. She is also fully colorblind (achromatopsia).

One day, she finally can see colors somehow. She isn't colorblind anymore.

The question is: now she can finally see the stuff she knew only intellectually, did she learn anything new?

Show HN: Updates to Quality News, Our Alternative HN UI
Hi HN

I thought I'd announce some updates to Quality News, our alternative HN client:

1. Retention of Story Stats Charts

Story Stats/Charts pages (example: https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=42802210) no longer 404 after 30 days.

We notice that people on HN were sometimes sharing links to these pages (example: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and we felt guilty when those links would break. So we now keep story stats pages indefinitely.

2. New Ranking Algorithms

We've implemented some new ranking algorithms at https://news.social-protocols.org/algorithms

For example, https://news.social-protocols.org/penalties shows stories that have probably been penalized by HN moderators, and https://news.social-protocols.org/resubmissions shows stories that have been randomly selected from the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308) and added to the front page.

Enjoy!
I don’t have kids. However, this same concept can be applied, and verified, with dogs.

I have made it a rule to never deceive my dog, and she trusts me because it. If I pick up her water bowl to refill and clean it while she is in the middle of drinking, I make it a point to always give it back with fresh water. I have several water bowls around the house , and the one in my room only gets refilled when I see she is actively drinking from it.

She sees this removal of something she wants (and needs) as a good thing, because I have never deceived her. I always give it back.

If I say we are going for a walk or I grab the leash, we go for a walk. I try to not do things that she would interpret as something not intended. For example, grabbing the leash and not taking her out.

With dogs you become really mindful of your actions. They learn so many of your subtle non-verbal cues, that you start to notice how much your body speaks.

I often think about this, and it has been a valuable learning experience. If I ever decide to have kids, I will make sure that what I communicate (either verbally or non-verbally) is congruent with my actions. I believe that this, is the surest way to build trust.
Neutrino interactions with nuclei of water produce charged particles which move faster than the speed of light in water (but slower than through a vacuum tube) creating a cone of light known as Cherenkov radiation, which is the optical equivalent to a sonic boom. This is projected onto a ring around the detector.

Doesn't need to be submerged in a body of water as large as this. The Super-Kamiokande[0] detector for instance is located in a body of water inside a mountain.

I view it more like a battle between two groups of the elites. The left/right prism is a distraction. Personally I think both political parties got taken over by what we used to call the Neo-cons. The Republicans underwent an internal revolution that sidelined the Neo-cons inside it. So I view this as a battle between one group Neo-cons vs this new group represented by the current administration.

I don't have an opinion if that is better or worse, only time will tell. Demolishing USAID etc. should be seen as purging their political enemies and their supporters who's been nesting in the public structure for a couple of decades.

I wish I had known this. After my father passed away a few years ago, I had a password list but some accounts required 2FA, and unfortunately I didn't have access to his phone. It locked me out of some services where I would have liked to have archived the data, like photos and posts.

At some point though, data is similar to material possessions - someone has to spend the effort of keeping it archived and accessible. Eventually people move on and the data is either forgotten or lost. And it's OK to let it go, nothing lasts forever.

"With dogs you become really mindful of your actions."

Dogs hold you accountable in the most beautiful way. The best boss.

Everything is a trust relationship. I recall finding myself offended when I had difficulty pitching ideas at my workplace. A lot of times it felt like "hey, why don't you trust me or my idea". I only had maybe one or two of those moments, but I have also witnessed other people going through a trust battle just like the one I described at work.

This can happen in a family, in a romantic relationship, work, or in society. When the arena becomes entirely about trust, people act out. That's why kids rebel, that's why marriages fall apart, and that's why people leave companies.
From the article:

> If the U.S. Constitution is the core operating system of the U.S. government, the Archivist of the United States and NARA are the maintainers of the system’s foundational codebase of legal and historical documents.

I would argue the article is very much hacker related. Even as a foreigner, the US deleting government records should worry you, as it affects more than just their egg prices.
I’m so happy to see the regulation UI laid out. Congress was the original legislative body, I.e. makes laws. This is great as it makes them accountable to what they do. A law I don’t like is passed? Well then I check to see how many senators and rep voted and take action accordingly. But then some big agency makes a regulation I don’t like? How do I find accountability in that?

While I recognize that Congress has granted said agencies the authority to do this in many cases, I can’t help but feel it’s a massive way for Congress to completely skirt accountability.

I do wonder how many are aware of how law making has shifted from Congress to agencies over time and what the political ramifications of that are.
> If you think that the current hiring discrepancy represents a genuine and real skill discrepancy, it is a logical necessity for you think that women are not equally capable.

I believe they are not equally interested in the same fields men are and vice-versa. So I don't see any value in forcing women and men to fields which they don't want to be in.

> Conversely, if you think women are equally capable, then you must think that the hiring discrepancy is not justified by competency. If you get this far, then it follows that there is a huge opportunity for increasing the pool of competent leaders by requiring 50/50. As they do actually have a goal of increasing the economic potential of the region, this means they should push the issue.

I think they are equally capable in certain areas, and less capable in other areas. Just like men are less capable in some areas and more capable in others. It's how nature works, nothing sexist or discriminatory about it. Just like two men are not equal, or two women are not equal.

But trying to forcefully push the narrative that somehow men and women are 100% equal is very detrimental to everyone involved.
Easy and obvious cases of inefficiency and lack of care will be easy to spot and remove but I fear these many examples will be made an example of and justify the tearing down of Chesterton fences and irreplaceable Good Things.
