Most of this can be solved with a paradigm shift. Find something you enjoy, do it the way you like to. -that- is your new job. The soul desiccating jira handjob is -therapy- to remind you how pointless life is if you don’t do something that you love. Focus your energy on appreciating your “job”, and appreciating your therapy (and your co-therapists) for making it possible for you to retain focus on your job.

Focus on making your therapy easier and making better metrics, especially at the cost of actual value. The purpose of the therapy-is- the pointlessness.

I have seen this unironically used to excellent effect, and the user was considered indispensable, since being indispensable and highly “valued” was what he focused 100 percent of his 9-5 on. Meanwhile, he was able to leave work behind once he walked out of the office, because he was not at all invested emotionally in the “therapy “ sessions.

Probably won’t work for everyone, but it’s a pretty solid pattern for accepting useless work. The important part is to have some “real” work that you -do- care about. Otherwise it’s potentially a shortcut to a high ledge.
These researchers compared the publish rates of Stanford Top 2% scientists with comparable Nobel laureates and the rate of publishing among the anomalous researchers was ludicrously higher than their peers at the top of their game - "up to 212 publications per year, and 5792 new coauthors per year, compared to up to 28.3 publications per year and 173 new coauthors per year on NL [nobel laureates]".

Do you have any reason to believe the T2 group is composed of "older established scientists" who are "much more advantaged" than the group of Nobel Laureates? To the tune of 10x the number of publications and 33x coauthorships?
From https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/data/2020/hc/pdf..., out of ~80m non multi-unit homes, only about 50m have a garage, with about 30m without a garage and about 40m living in a complex where garages aren't expected.

That's not exactly a vast majority that could support charging at home.

This can happen to any shopping cart that lets shop owners add custom codes/plugins to the checkout page. Though that enhances the look and feel, I dont think it is a good idea. The checkout page should use a universal design (like Shopify's checkout page), it will reduce the chance of XSS attacks.
There is such a prefix, though, but the problem is the end user devices themselves (or a few applications) are not always modern enough to have decent operation with a IPv6 stack. Less so these days, though. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanism, ::ffff:0:0:0/96.

That said, a lot of posts here don't seem to reckon with the fact that a slim majority of www.google.com connections in the United States are via IPv6, and a super-majority from India, Germany, and France. Comcast, T-Mobile, Verizon, as far as I have experienced, these all default to IPv6. While dropping IPv4 support is both a worthy, distant goal and sometimes used in goal-post moving rhetoric, it's not like nobody uses IPv6...rather, mobile broadband networks have depended on it for over a decade (see T-Mobile's deployment of 464XLAT)
Well put. And second person is indeed unusual, to the point where it was quickly obvious that it wasn't some sort of LLM.

It's kind of fascinating, when I think about it. This artwork does something I've also seen the GenX novelist Douglas Coupland do to striking effect: set up a vicarious mental state, through seemingly tedious narrative, to produce a state of mind which is then played upon for artistic purposes, modulating this state of mind to cause feelings.

Coupland repeatedly does that by setting up thematic points without stating them, and then resolving not the surface details but the theme with a conclusion that targets the theme rather than the surface plot.

The author here plays on the theme of meaninglessness, and then more or less makes a plea for meaningfulness at the end. It's pretty straightforward, except there seem to be a lot of people unable to experience a narrative at all, and so they're looking for 'the answer' and unable to experience the narrative in a human way. (not that you're required to have this particular human experience… but the whole point is to have this described experience, without having it)

Pretty sure anybody who's frustrated by this would have an even harder time with Douglas Coupland's biggest works. This is really direct, theme-wise. If that's not enough to get you onboard (assuming you want to take that ride), there's a problem.

If large numbers of people in the post-LLM world end up unable to decode these sorts of artworks, that's a loss to human nature.

Teaching my kids sign language was such an eye-opener. Prior to that I was totally oblivious to how smart babies are. I guess I assumed that they developed speech somewhat in time with their understanding of language. This couldn't be further from the truth though. There's a huge gap. Maybe I was especially clueless; I didn't grow up around babies, so this stuff might be obvious to people who did.

Runes annoy me because they ruined the use of Svelte components as rendered widgets outside a Svelte site. I like using them in rich-text as rendered views but when Svelte 5 came out, the old way of simply setting the component props directly was thrown out and you implicitly are now expected to use runes for the props you pass to the components.

Which means, that anywhere I render those components I have to suffix the file as .svelte.ts Or switch to svelte/store but it's quite dumb to wrap everything as a Writable<T>

I still like Svelte regardless, but I just thought "why" as over-abstraction wasn't the original tenets of Svelte
LLMs write code. Quickly. That is a killer app.

Performance improves every year, and costs become 3x-10x lower every year for the same level of performance. The difficulty of the code we want it to write does not increase 3x-10x per year. So there is no cost problem in just a couple years.

The level of denial and anger about LLMs on HN is astounding to me. Is this just defensiveness from software engineers worried about losing their jobs? An inability to extrapolate cost or performance trends just a couple years forward? Personal criticism against Altman and Musk? What am I missing?
he will bias it toward his views and favoured outcomes like he did twitter

Do you have a third party audit that this is true or have those datasets all been removed? Musk has shown himself unknowledgeable at best and purposely lying at worse so many DOGE findings are hard to take at face value.

You need to look at how the republicans on X are discussing this:

Of course it would not be any specific regulation at this point — it is the drastic cutting of overall enforcement by gutting the agencies.

This planned gutting of agencies and regulations was widely advertised by the current administration in the campaign, and post election, and post-inaugration, they have made every move possible to fire, distract, and terrorize any federal employee who might be enforcing regulations.

In this new anti-regulation environment, it's easy to see how a mid-level manager could decide he can now cut spending on maintenance to make his department's numbers improve without fear of regulatory action. There will be no regulators breathing down his neck (they are all fired or distracted), and they'll soon cut the regs anyway. It doesn't matter which regulation it is. That decision to cut maintenance could have been made as early as November or recently as last week.

So, maintenance gets cut, something gets missed, a part fails under the stress of a hard landing on a cold windy day, and we've got a wrecked aircraft.

If the water wasn't reused it sounds like something you'd try to bury.

I found it interesting because $0.68/kWh is roughly what EV charging has cost at charging stations here in Norway for the past few years.

It fluctuates a bit though not much, and varies from network to network, but currently[1] the average is around $0.5/kWh if you exclude Tesla.

Now, at home I pay about $0.1-0.2/kWh these days and less during summer.

> reason to believe the T2 group is composed of "older established scientists"

there were 1000 academics with < 10 years of career and 19000 with more (in the inflators list). I did not compare their advantage to the nobel scientists but to the younger ones. (Also the nobel laureates are extreme outliers who don't need any more citations to satisfy their ego or funding needs)
> Bill by the hour, and absolutely refuse to bill by the project. It's the only way.

Or, bill by the project, but have an actual scope of work with details. Which will help you estimate the project cost and give you cover when something new comes up to increase the project cost.

Customers hate by-the-hour because they don't know what it will cost. Providers should hate by-the-hour because it ripe for abuse by the customer, who assumes you can do anything they want because "it's just another few hours".
With "high quality" do you refer to taste or safety?

In Norway, tap water countryside can be quite tasty but in cities there has often been chlorine added and it just taste worse.

And bottled water is bottled mountain water with good taste (in Norway), not as good as tap water countryside but better than tap water in cities.

Most other places I have been in the world tap water tastes...not good. UK, France, Spain, California... I mean I can adapt, good water is not essential to life, but.. it is just something else.

I am sure mountain regions in US would have excellent tap water though, no reason they should not have.

I have a 1.5-year old VW id.4.

I cosign all of this (except the one-pedal driving - I prefer to leave mine in separate accel+brake mode), particularly the home charging - if you can get a home charger installed, it is a real game-changer. As compared to my previous (ICE) car, I never have to leave early because I'm low on gas & need to stop and fill up (or even have to go out of my way to fill up) and day-to-day I have less range anxiety with my EV because I always leave the house with a full charge.

After the one-time expense of getting a charger installed it's both cheaper and more pleasant to operate than my old ICE.

Here’s the conclusion of a much more refined initial review by Andrej Karpathy [1] which, I think overall, comports with the substance of my own hot take:

“As far as a quick vibe check over ~2 hours this morning, Grok 3 + Thinking feels somewhere around the state of the art territory of OpenAI's strongest models (o1-pro, $200/month), and slightly better than DeepSeek-R1 and Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. Which is quite incredible considering that the team started from scratch ~1 year ago, this timescale to state of the art territory is unprecedented. Do also keep in mind the caveats - the models are stochastic and may give slightly different answers each time, and it is very early, so we'll have to wait for a lot more evaluations over a period of the next few days/weeks. The early LM arena results look quite encouraging indeed. For now, big congrats to the xAI team, they clearly have huge velocity and momentum and I am excited to add Grok 3 to my "LLM council" and hear what it thinks going forward.”

I bought a 1 year old low mileage Kia EV6 (AWD GT Line) - 3500 miles on the odometer.

This means I avoided the first year depreciation.

But having an EV also allowed me onto the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff ... which gives the entire house electricity for 7p per kWh during intelligent dispatches (half hour blocks where the grid is greenest and if you're plugged in they'll charge your car) but also between the hours of 23:30 and 05:30.

Because I have a PV array + battery storage, and can charge from the grid, in the winter I charge the battery overnight, and most days get to 23:30 with charge left in the battery because the Solar has been enough to keep me topped up during the day. So my cost for electricity over the winter, because I have an EV, was about 6.9p per kWh.

This all factors in to make it a no-brainer for me. Driving for around 2p per mile (versus 20p per mile in my previous car, a 1l Focus Ecoboost), but also my household usage even in the winter is much cheaper. And then during the summer I build up a big buffer of credit by exporting excess Solar.
Hopefully it's spring water, not pond water. Many springs are effectively filtered by the soil and are perfectly safe to drink from, but I wouldn't want to risk pond water. Lake water is better, ponds are just nasty though.

What to Do About AI-Driven Job Displacement (2023)
> Sometimes you just gotta stick to the core competencies and stick to them well.

Part of me thinks this is what Radio Shack could've made work. They almost made it to the point in time where hobbyist electronics / maker culture was popular again, but by that time they were just the place people used to buy cell phones from.
> Shipping is extremely cheap these days. You can move any manufacturing you want, if you're determined to do so.

Sure, this works when you know exactly what you want. If you're prototyping or looking for a replacement component, those who can walk/drive to visit 10 potential suppliers' factories in a day have a competitive advantage versus waiting 10 business days for the samples to arrive.

Having a concentration of jobs in one place also results in having a concentration of domain experts in that place; forming a self-sustaining ecosystem. A lot of local governments the world over have tried and failed to replicate Silicon Valley, but without the critical mass of academia, technologists and VCs. Trying to replicate Shenzen without the machinists and injection mold greybeards is equally fruitless.
> It really isn’t that hard to imagine a situation where street parking has overnight charging infrastructure. Streets where people live already have electricity running to all of them.

I've read that while this is true, the power capacity of this existing infrastructure is far, far from what would be required. Even the cable sizes are frequently inappropriate.
The body has regulatory mechanisms formed 100k to 1000k years ago, and some even older. The life was a bit different then, as was humans' mental capacity and knowledge.

This is why humans have to actively overcome and sometimes subvert various mechanisms that presume the need to conserve the energy: they hit a gym which the body doesn't like, they limit sugars and fats which the body craves, they consume caffeine, nicotine, or even cocaine to trick the body into working harder and complaining less.

Compared to that, hitting the body with some NIR radiation seems very benign. You can get a lot of that just by walking in the sun, and there are no known adverse effects of that, unlike, say the use of the chemical substances. If anything, it's a promising field of research.
The article that the author links to for "goth taxonomy" (^f "many kinds of goth") is pretty clearly composed of entirely lightly edited AI-generated images, and likely AI-generated text.

For example, the confusing "goth family tree" at the beginning of the article is clearly Dall-E/ChatGPT prompted with just that, with labels edited in after the fact in a way that makes the whole thing nonsense. For the "trad goth" picture further down, it's blantantly obvious it's Dall-E's cluttered style with meaningless lines. It's the exact kind of slop the article complains about, and I'd go so far as to say it's anti-information, because you can't trust any of it. It would be fine if the images were purely for decorative purposes, but for an article that purports to authoritatively describe visual aesthetics, handing that work off to a hallucination-prone AI renders it untrustworthy.

I assume this was the result of a 30 second google, but the author including that as a reference source is so bad that it makes the rest of the article hard to take seriously.

edit:

This particular line jumps out at me:

>Particularly if the AI products assisting us now are successfully trained to not hallucinate anymore

I'm normally one to jump in and defend AI when someone says it's useless because it hallucinates sometimes, because that could not be further from the case. But if you think it doesn't hallucinate at all anymore, then your credibility when writing about AI is severely limited.
> The AI bubble means that effectively every single media outlet has been talking about artificial intelligence in the vaguest way, and there's really only been one "product" that they can try that "is AI" — and that product is ChatGPT.
