I have health issues so there is that. I think most 40 yo if they go to the gym on a good routine can have the energy. Add in a reasonable job (not an AI startup with a hammock in the kitchen). But 40 you are rolling the dice. 40+ you can die from things and it is not unheard of. It is quite old in a way. You can also have issues unexpectedly that depleat capacity.

Just reread your comment. Don't kill yourself!!! Help raise your niece or nephew or friends kids. You can pass on social inheritence! And you can work in a cube at Google and send half the money to kids charities.

I see it as an argument to have kids earlier, which is rare outside of just "cus we did in our day". I feel there was a cut off maybe 90s someone has a baby you honour them 2000s onwards you feel sorry for them! Everyone wants freedom and pleasure because nothing lasts forever (!). So within agnostic/atheist etc. with the no kids movement it is good to have a balance and then people decide what to do. Make a decision considering the tradeoff.

You will. Not you you. But you.

I (male) was very lucky and this made me realise. Had kids lateish (30) but that is due to finding soneone to do that with took that long. Being shy etc. But now I feel in 40s I am too old to have a baby! I glad I didnt wait too long.

Or dont have kids at all which is fine and max on the freedom to do whatever life. I think I agree decide if you want kids then if so have them early as possible but under proviso of a good relationship and no major issues like drugs/alcohol/violence etc.

It takes a minute to setup for CDN usecase.

Yes, but leetcode shows some level of smarts. It is not something most people can do.

Like I guess 5% of the population could actually do well at it given the time, practice and motivation. Might be 75% for programmers, granted. But companies dont want people who are unskilled.

Anyway yes the oil analogy is close but it is more like too many people are selling fools oil, and your oil is real and so you vouch for it. So oil is not fungible and the vouch means alot. But vouched and proven oil as a class is fungible. Almost everyone is fungible, you can find another Steve Jobs (they did, Apple is doing well after all) or PoTUS. Maybe entertainment is the exception e.g. Taylor but even then if the job is to sell music she is fairly fungible. Other singers do that too.

For most applications 1 location is probably good enough.I assume HN is single location and I am a lomg way from CA but have no speed issues.

Cavaet for high scale sites and game servers. Maybe for image heavy sites too (but self hosting then adding a CDN seems like a low lock in and low cost option)

Wow are they that cuthroat? Sounds like politics not regular dev work. Must be Google I would guess :)

I think you are wrong.

It cares if your smart. Hence leetcode etc. You need to be practiced for that.

It also helps to be connected to get your CV top of the pile.

Yes most of us are commodities. But in some ways we are not. Two engineers, same creds, one knows someone who works at the company for a warm positive intro. This is not fungible.

That would.im theory make kids the best at certain sports like table tennis say. Is there an objective test?

But a lot of stuff had to be invented and Bezos was the person to do it. Amazon sounded intense to work for to get to where it is.

Try disabling JS for that site.

Turning off JS goes a long way towards avoiding most of the ad/popup problem. I just turn it off for bad sites, keep it on for most.

Yes guess it depends on your goals. Whether you are doing it for health, vanity, work or competitions will adjust the calculus.

Everyone is talking like creating Amazon was some kind of low hanging citrus to be picked from the tree.

Is autopilot takeoff a hard problem, or is there just little incentive to do it?

I.e. if takeoff is dangerous you dont do it. Making takeoff generslly easier. The option to not land doesnt exist (insert old joke about a good landing)! So landing may have harder problems like wind sheer, thunder storms, tailwind, visibility, and more incentive to take load off pilots with automation.

Boring is subjective though. For some like me the ideal weight gives endorphins where as too much feels like cortisol. Too light is sort of nothing. So I aim for that "yeah I pushed something" feeling. Which isn't failure.

There is some intellegence. It can figure stuff out and solve problems. It isnt copy paste. But I agree with your point. They are not intellegent enough to learn during inference. Which is the main point here.

superior intelligence

You are talking about the future. But if we are talking about the future the bitter lesson applies even more so. The super intelligence doesnt need a special programming language to be more productive. It can use Python for everything and write bug free correct code fast.

MCP or skills? Can a skill negate the need for MCP. In addition there was a YC startup who is looking at searching docs for LLMs or similar. I think MCP may be less needed once you have skills, openapi specs, and other things that LLMs can call directly.

More like 6 different new nosql databases and js frameworks.

< Red Hot Chilli Peppers Song >

Yes only CA residents can use this.

Feels like a dead end optimisation ala the bitter lesson.

No LLM has seen enough of this language vs. python and context is now going to be mostly wordy not codey (e.g. docs, specs etc.)

Thanks for the link. There are counterpoints in the linked article, including:

Yousef Munayyer, an Israeli citizen and the executive director of The Jerusalem Fund, wrote that Palestinians only have varying degrees of limited rights in Israel. He states that although Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population, less than 7% of the budget is allocated to Palestinian citizens. He describes the 1.5 million Arab citizens of Israel as second-class citizens while four million more are not citizens at all. He states that a Jew from any country can move to Israel but a Palestinian refugee, with a valid claim to property in Israel, cannot. Munayyer also described the difficulties he and his wife faced when visiting the country.[301]

Hope over time this changes for the better. If they can start letting people expelled years ago to return too. Maybe not to their old address but work something out.

Why not US take a few million refugees, and build homes for them. Just borrow $100B from the Federal Reserve and do it.

Nothing. We shouldn't dilute the term hero. Let's call it what it is "groundedness"

Happy new year from ISS!

Just kidding. AU!

Are they afforded the same rights as jewish israelis? What about Gazans and West Bank palestenians whose families came from elsewhere in the earlier Palestine and were driven out to these areas, now living in terrible conditions. For simplicity lets pretend it is Sep 2023 for this argument, as the conditions were terrible then, due to Israels policies.

Thats why you should read and not rely on AI for your opinion.
