> Another thing I'd recommend: try to find some solace in hobbies or personal interests.

One of my favorite, most rewarding projects has been making fishing lures. Losing my house to divorce means I no longer have a space I can do the sandblasting, painting or other stinky fume-inducing work.

Not being able to do what I love makes me so full of self hate and shame.

My project has gained organic leads in a way NOTHING else I've made or worked on has. Every week I get a message or two asking if they can buy lures. My friends are a marketing MACHINE who have made great video content about the product and keep doing so.

I have everything I need but it's "not enough to live on" so I can't jump in with both feet.

I CANT EVEN MAKE MORE. Even if I had a space to make them, I'm dealing with a supply issue where I can't get the one raw material / part I use. I have ideas on how I can manufacture them but I DO NOT HAVE THE MENTAL CAPACITY to do all this on top of my job. It makes me feel like I am failing at the one chance I have to get out of this fucking hellhole. I can't do it. It's slipping through my fingers and I'll never get out.
I agree on just checking the oil and topping it up.

Luckily there’s more options too if it’s too late and there oil leaking beyond just burning a little the gaskets need to be dealt with.

A nice hack is also to meet a Honda mechanic who can take care of it privately.
There's Linear, there's GitHub / Gitlab issues and projects, there's Asana (has all the features, simply called different things in many cases)

Once you start to see Jira as 'central repository for realizing work streams' the options become easier to assess.

The place where Jira does sem to excel is automations, but I think thats simply due to maturity and alot of platforms cover most common ground

No! A cell is an incredibly complex machine and we have just begun to understand how it works! Admittedly, the wikipedia page for cells don‘t transfer that fact well (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_%28biology%29).
I can‘t explain it all here, but yes, cells are essentially made of proteins and other organic compounds which have been found on that asteroid (and other asteroids before). But that is similar to the fact that a human is made of 14 chemical elements - it’s not telling you at all how the machine came to be and works.
The Miller-Urey Experiment showed that those organic compounds could be created from anorganic material, which reversed the old belief that only organic matter can create organic compounds. But from there to a working, functional cell is still a long, looong way. Like, an aminoacid/ protein is a nail (and a plate, and a valve, and a million other components), a cell is a spaceship. That can harvest it’s environment and build new spaceships. Every living thing consists of cells, and we all go back to one first cell, that‘s the obvious conclusion when studying the system of life. But that first cell must have been incredibly complex, alone for the fact that it could take surrounding matter and build a new cell out of that.

Damn. As a founder in the incident management space (Rootly) I've had a lot of respect for Opsgenie. They had unique features like heartbeats and ran a lean but mighty team before selling to Atlassian. We saw them the most in Europe by far.

Okay here comes to promotional part (don't hate me). If anyone is looking for a modern alternative to Opsgenie that isn't as expensive as PagerDuty, Rootly is worth checking out (Slack-native, holiday scheduling, request coverage, clean mobile app, etc).

Previous to Rootly I worked at Instacart where I helped us transition from PD to Opsgenie. Afterwards, still not being happy I built Rootly.

Today, we've helped Trivago, Motive, Yahoo, and quite a few others make the switch. Pretty easy with our importer tool, etc.

Alzheimer's is a disease, you can get it in your 40s. If somebody recommends exercise to keep your legs healthy, they don't mean that if you have a staph infection in your legs that exercise will make it go away.

My grandfather had vascular dementia, and keeping him thinking and using his brain absolutely helped. Makes sense for a problem of blood flow that thinking new, hard stuff might direct some more blood supply to the brain.

Also, 1) you don't know for sure if you have Alzheimer's until you're gone, and 2) it seems that vascular dementia co-occurs with Alzheimer's a lot. So I can't imagine that it would ever be a good idea to stop using your mind if you felt it slipping.
I mean, this is really about the model from 2007+. That model in particular was incredible at the time and the fact that it held on so long is remarkable.
Nickel and dimed is just an expression and if you account for inflation probably is the equivalent of 5 dollars now

You can't grasp how big these numbers are

If you save 15 million dollars every day for a year you get about 5 billion

5 billion of the $6 TRILLION spent every year is 0.09% of the total amount spent

For the next 4 years if you cut $15 million every day from somewhere its still only 0.36%. A third of a percent!

6 trillion minus 20 billion is still about 6 trillion.

That hypothetical $5 billion a year in the best case would reduce the taxes needed by 26 dollars per tax payer on average per year.
> I'm saddened that people with wealth, power and influence tend to point to their own success as reason to perpetuate the status quo. When we could have had basic resources like energy, water, some staple foods and shelter provided for free (or nearly free) through automation

What you stated is true, but my disappointing observation is that the people with wealth/power are only marginally smarter than the rest of us on the topic you mentioned. And then I suspect that even if one had a rich benefactor, pulling that off is not easy. It takes a threshold number people who have a holistic view of things to pull of what you mentions i.e nearly free basics of life. Check my profile etc. - some of what I wrote may strike a chord with you.

Also the proponents on Technocracy (Hubbert etc.) about a 100 years back, essentially touched on the subject you state. Note: The word technocracy today has a different connotation.
We'll definitely be doing more tests, but the results I got on the complex tests would result in a lower score and might not be worth the extra cost of the judgement itself.

I started a Discord 'server' for my JS Canvas library thing a couple of years ago because - apparently - it was a "good way to build a community". Not only have I failed to build a community, I've grown to hate its UI and confusion of channels.

I think Discord is overkill for my requirements. But I still want a (free) venue (which is not GitHub) where people can ask questions and - maybe, just maybe - form a community around the library. I keep staring at PhpBB ... but it feels too oldskool, so: nope.

I am beginning to like the idea of a self-hosted Discourse[1] thing; there seems to be a fair number of active tech-related communities... maybe if I have some time over Easter I'll investigate further.

Dunno, to me it's quite obvious the rich (as in the asset generating wealth owning) class are the parasitic ones, almost by definition - after all they get mony for doing nothing.

Them being 'better' in any sense of the word is weirdly orthogonal and juvenile statement.

It doesn't matter if you are a breatthakingly handsome hardworking genius, or you are an ugly imbecile - it's about what assets you own - the whole notion of being better on benchmarks of what humans consider better is irrelevant.

Do any countries' emissions regulations require manufacturers to actively try to prevent illegal modifications? It seems to me that wouldn't be the manufacturer's problem, and I can't recall hearing of a legal case where it was.

This seems more likely to be warranty-related since it's very easy to break mechanical parts by adjusting things like boost pressure and ignition timing.
> I'm sure some of his advice has backing to it. A lot of it doesn't. A good amount of it even has a fair body of evidence against the claim (like Alzheimer's can be stopped by using tobacco).

Can you post the quote/reference for this? At worst I would think he referenced some observational study about smokers - people ingesting significant nicotine - having lowered incidences of Alzheimer's. That wouldn't surprise me in the slightest because we see the same types of studies for things like caffeine.

Mild stimulants and metabolism boosters in particular (energy and metabolism are the core of Peat's theories) are likely associated with protective effects.

So please post specifics from Peat, and be careful to avoid internet broken telephone - a lot of people attribute quotes and ideas to him that he never said nor endorsed.

I'm very sympathetic to your experience and agree with most of what you say, but as someone who has spend half his life in academia and half outside, "who favor academia and pure research over profit-driven innovation that tends to reinvent the wheel", I must say that 'reinventing the wheel' is at least as prevalent in academia than it is in business.

I see this mistake in project planning as well: I'm asked to scope how long it will take to complete module #1, then how long it will take to complete module #2, then module #3, etc. but in reality they all end up going hand-in-hand but depend on some common work that's "invisible" to the planners.
I can speak a bit about one of the approaches: "Practical Entropy-Compressed Rank/Select Dictionary" by Daisuke Okanohara and Kunihiko Sadakane. This presents two different variants: One for dense (i.e. more than 50% of the bits are set) and one for sparse.

The dense implementation is basically based around partitioning them into "blocks" of a given size and then you can find the block by doing `block[idx / block_size]`. It then also groups each block into sub-blocks which helps you even further. All of these are additional data structures (very much like an index) which are stored next to the regular bitset. You use the blocks/sub-blocks to find roughly where in the bitset you are and then use a algorithm for finding the value in a given machine-word.

The sparse implementation treats the bitset as an ordered list of numbers (e.g. 100001001 is interpreted as 0, 5, 8) and then it stores those numbers using Elias-Fano encoding. The higher bits of the Elias-Fano encoding happen to be dense and hence we can use the previous dense implementation on that higher bits and then combine it with the lower bits.

I'm also aware of https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.00990 which is more about how to do this most efficiently at a machine-word level.

"Engineering Compact Data Structures for Rank and Select Queries on Bit Vectors" is another quite recent paper which I haven't fully digested yet.
Your suggestion is sound but my mental acuity is in the fucking dumpster. I am bad at my job because I am so stressed and upset about my inability to control my life. I'm doing some of the worst work ever... it takes me so long to do things and I'm just below the standard I know I can operate at.

So while the "keep working and look for work" thing is reasonable... it's just not for me. I can't. I can't keep up. I am so exhausted that everything is breaking down around me.

Beyond my refusal to engage in something that I don't believe can be successful... who the fuck wants to hire someone who is so disregulated and upset? I don't understand how i can ever come back from this.

That's the community I'm speaking of - in fact, we'd call those people "Fudds", after Elmer Fudd.

It's definitely a political position. It's just one that's prone to violence. If anything, it's the opposite; the gun community does an excellent job of policing itself. I've personally seen people displaying violent tendencies get reported and ultimately charged and convicted within that particular community.

What a just society would do would be to add taxes to the wealthy and raise income for the poor, slowly and gently transferring wealth from the rich to the poor in a way that doesn't destroy the system.

The fact that not only are we not doing that but that we are violently opposed to doing that is a fair weather barometer of our current justice quotient.

The backdating is trivially detectable unless you manage to get the database operations to happen the wrong way around, which is why the whole "holding a packet" thing has to happen. But part of the reason for the blackout period is to account for the possibility of that kind of thing happening anyway.

If you have to fake the issue time by five minutes, then 1) the described method is probably infeasible anyway because the connection to the database will time out while the packet is held for multiple minutes, 2) the ticket issue date and audit date on the database event will vary by at least five minutes which makes it obvious that the ticket was improperly issued.

Yes. Both of those things are true. Other folks correctly mentioned that.

>and "therefore we just need to do what we're doing and it'll work out OK in 2028 and the midterms" is what the video clip i linked was talking to.

Who said that? Not me. Not anyone else on this thread.

Rather, various folks rebutted[0][5][6] your assertion (whether you're quoting some rando or not) that "there absolutely is a mandate." Which is a ridiculous statement, as the current incumbent only received 1.5% more votes than his opponent. That's not a mandate, that's a squeaker.

What would constitute a mandate? Contrast the results with the 1972, 1984 or 1996 elections, which actually conveyed a mandate. Go ahead and compare the results of those elections (definitely mandate elections) with the 2024 presidential election where[4]:

Trump won the Electoral College with 312 electoral votes,
while Harris received 226...

Trump won the national popular vote with a plurality of
49.8%.

1972: "President Richard Nixon defeated Democratic Senator George McGovern in a landslide victory. With 60.7% of the popular vote, Richard Nixon won the largest share of the popular vote for the Republican Party in any presidential election.[1] Nixon also won 49 of the 50 states.

1984: "Reagan won re-election in a landslide victory, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8% of the popular vote. Mondale won 13 electoral votes: 10 from his home state of Minnesota, which he won by a narrow margin of 0.18% (3,761 votes), and 3 from the District of Columbia, which has always voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate."[2]

1996: "Clinton defeated Dole by a wide margin, winning 379 electors to Dole's 159 and taking 49.2% of the national popular vote to Dole's 40.7%."[3]

As you can see, 1.5% is a tiny margin compared with real mandate elections. So your youtube/The View rando is flat wrong about a mandate for Trump.

Which says nothing at all about future elections or election strategies for the Democratic Party. You're trying to put words in the mouths of others. Please stop.

Optimizing CUDA kernels is often complex and requires expert knowledge. So, I built a tool that simplifies this process by profiling your code on serverless GPUs (matched to your GPU architecture), identifying bottlenecks in your kernel code, and applying SOTA optimization techniques to deliver up to 20x faster performance—all without any manual tuning.

DeepSeek’s R1 showed how optimizing kernels can significantly reduce costs while improving performance. I took this a step further by automating the process and making it effortless to maximize GPU efficiency and eliminate unnecessary overhead.

If you're working in AI research, deep learning, scientific computing, or any high-performance application, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Try it out here: https://www.rightnowai.co/

I’m sorry for not providing a free trial, but because profiling on GPUs is costly, it prevents me from offering that feature at the moment.
