The Hacker's Diet

IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT ALL CAPS IS SHOUTY, then it is easy to follow that all lower is a whisper, informal, casual way to talk. there are people who dislike all caps, i do too. i feel even capitalizing the first part of nouns and such grammar is shouty. yup. different people have different sensitivities for different things. i always liked all lower, also picked it from python_programming for a decade. so i am happy for this trend.

"someone you're not suuuper comfortable with"

It swings both ways for me. Either super comfortable or uncomfortable.

What doesn't work is hiring a virtual assistant to hold me accountable. As soon as I pay them and they report to me, they are the same loop as my own brain. No empathy brain! :D. This is bleak I know.

The only thing that reliably works is co-working with another human.

This is hard to find and not always possible. The reason it works is that it triggers the "empathy brain," which transfers the importance of the person to the importance of the task. Having an invested person always at your command is impossible, and an AI robot simply doesn't trigger that same empathy. It costs three cents per interaction. It is a robot. It isn't important, no matter how advanced it is.

There is something fascinating yet defeating about how the ADHD brain craves human connection. Just as loneliness can’t be solved by an app, ADHD cannot be "app-ed" out. I have found that these systems can lighten the cognitive load, but that is their limit.

I have a vibed chief-of-staff personal system. It knows everything and it neatly mapped out my state and day. I even know the first simple task I need to do because a prompt organized it for me on another page. Yet, I would still rather write this comment here. You already know this at some level, too.

There are two kinds of bugs: the rare, tricky race conditions and the everyday “oh shucks” ones. The rare ones show up maybe 1% of the time—they demand a debugger, careful tracing, and detective work. The “oh shucks” kind where I am half sure what it is when I see the shape of the exception message from across the room - that is all the rest of the time. A simple print statement usually does the trick for this kind.

Leave us be. We know what we’re doing.

Why is this news? Also why is this hackernews! Stock markets bounce for hundreds of reasons and crash just as often. Are we going to be reading updates about Bezos's net worth every time it shifts because it seems like an excellent way to get clicks by playing into the crowd's rubbernecking instincts?

"Shamelessly stole the title from a hero of mine". Your Shamelessness is all fine. But at first I thought this is a post from Andrej Karpathy. He has one of the best personal brands out there on the internet, while personal brands can't be enforced, this confused me at first.

I read it as "Fathers Are One of Evolution's Cleverest Inventions".

It completely made sense. I heard some research where starting about 500K year ago humans started to pair bond as a way to prevent mom and child mortality during and after childbirth and indeed Fathers are a clever invention. So yea, feathers are cool - fathers too! (for more info/reading here is a book suggestion: Eve)

I don't have citation, but I concur with the GP, I grew up in the east, and it is far easier to socialize and also form deep friendships because everything is said out in the open and not hidden behind layers of decorum. Here is an example and a demonstration. As an example people are allowed to comment on someone being too heavy or too thin with them present. Here is the demonstration: Now as soon as I gave an example I have made this a controversial topic for the western audience. There is no way to look past the controversy and talk about other things or form bonds based on speech. Only an infinite loop.

" Adobe can now add collaborative features to Firefly" - Except they won't. If you have been inside old big tech companies you'd know. Hard for me to articulate though. An open acknowledgment of this phenomenon is Satya staying out of OpenAI and still sucking the milk. They can never hope to move the same. Sathya's brilliance is that he decided and quietly said to himself and his board.. "And that's ok". Being humble brought MS back into the race. Adobe should have done the same with Figma.

Bicycle 3 years ago

No shit, you can make an airplane if you know your way around a bicycle as the wright brothers demonstrated. They were bicycle mechanics originally.

Bicycle 3 years ago

Humans made trails by walking for eons before roads were envisioned. Maybe for a chariot you need a proper road, but a human made trail is just fine for a bicycle.

Python attracted certain types of folks who wanted to say quickly understand the latest output of the large hadron collider, about the size of life peoples let’s say. Ruby attracted live action role playing larger than life sage type of people. Seems people just about the size of life is what is needed to make languages flourish.

Immigration support should read like this if it is to align with even a grain of truth.

"We know that this situation is particularly tough if you’re a visa holder. Basically you are fucked. Here is a dildo sign to show you in picture what your situation is. There is nothing called non-employment visa. So here is a picture of two dildos if you are still reading this"

Offering a different view from another vantage point. My GPA was tied to my scholarship which was tied to my visa. Slipping below 3.75/4 can get me deported. Looks pretty incentivized to me.

Just a datapoint. No, I procrastinate less now. My tip is to schedule remote co working, even if you are not working together, just talking to someone- planning your work and help them plan their work and end of day check etc has helped add structure better than onsite.

Hand strength is correlated with exercise. Legs tend to be strong in general for modern people because in the end we still walk and the legs have to carry the whole weight of the body - which tends to be significant. But hands will be strong only if you voluntarily exercise. Even physically demanding labour tends to have many tools to make hand oriented tasks(hand jobs?!) considerably easier. So if you can't/didn't control for this correlation, there is no news here.
