To add meat to these bones, I've played piano on average 20 minutes a day for 22 years. That means ~2700 hours of piano practice. Probably an underestimate but it does match my intuition of thousands of hours.

If they're sitting at home, not driving anywhere, watching cable news all day, that's a recipe for rutted-grooves of thought and deterioration of the mind.
If you try this with Google, at least when we used it, it didn't have multi-display: You could only see the "main group" talking, which might be someone laughing or ruffling a bag of crisps. Furthermore, the sound quality was straight up worse than Zoom, borderline inaudible with the same equipment Zoom gets.
What would you say is the "modern" approach for joining large data quickly, and for creating clones and running various jobs repeatedly?
How did you construct the Copilot? Did you use a learning approach based on data from actual pair-programming sessions? Or did you take tons of code as your input and use that to suggest next methods based on input code?
I learned a ton whenever I pair programmed, but now I'm at a small company so I'm looking for fun ways to learn new methods :)
He doesn't distinguish between practice and effort. In my view, practice takes effort and effort occurs during practice, they are two dimensions of the same thing, which is really just "experience." You don't gain experience without effortful practice.
Furthermore, where is his mention of accountability to a team? One of the greatest motivators is having helpful allies who tell you what they want from you, provide tips how to do it (leveraging their experience), and then give you the keys you need to work hard and get great things done.
Another lackluster article from PG that rockets to the top of HN within an hour. There are much better writers out there, I'm not sure why his work is so lauded.
For cleaning, they could hire out cleaning to the hosts or even the guests for a discount, or they could acquire someone like TaskRabbit or an Uber-for-cleaning type app.
To me, it seems they're taking the easy way out by not doing much about the issues and letting hosts deal with it.
It seems that mass media and culture is revealing some truths, that there are extremely wealthy people at the top 0.01%, far above even surgeons or lawyers or engineers, who work very hard and are just as smart as the ultra-rich (if not more smart/hardworking). The difference is those professionals optimized for interesting, impactful work that also pays nicely, and the ultra-rich are optimizing for maximal wealth creation, or they're simply inheriting it or getting lucky on risky bets.
In any case, I think lower-wage workers will slowly get a better lot, since our employment rate is increasing and people after the pandemic are realizing how exploitative many jobs are.
Would this work in financial industries? I can see it working with products that value is added into, but for financial instruments I'm not sure how that'd operate.
Specifically: Is it productive for HN users to have anecdotal evidence rise to the top, or actual peer-reviewed evidence from studies with N=100 or N=10,000? I'd argue if layman HN users have time to read only one comment, we should upvote the N>1 comments, not N=1.
From the guidelines: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
We went from an international article (N=745k) to anecdata, which is a downgrade of substance in my view.
2. How much power does the generator/house back-up provide? I can see it being enough for a couple tools on a jobsite, but how long will it run a refrigerator, furnace, lights, etc.?
3. In this page, Ford claims to have the largest charging network in the USA. How is that possible, I thought Tesla had a huge lead on supercharging stations and destination chargers?
4. Price: At 40k base, you'll be seeing average costs of 50k+, even after the 7.5k tax incentive. I'd take the larger battery for sure, it would greatly increase the utility of the truck for my cases. 50k is what MANY truck buyers are already spending, I don't see that being an obstacle at all.
5. Gripe: Most people who claim to need a truck don't really need to OWN a truck; they should just rent. I live in a rural area and 95% of the trucks I see have 1 passenger and on average almost no cargo in the bed. We are polluting our planet for the occasional privilege of using our OWN truck...people simply buy vehicles for the outlying use case, not the modal case, and it's incredibly inefficient.
6. Overall: These EVs are a step in the right direction. It's still energy inefficient overall, and renting an ICE truck once a month would still be better than buying a new massive EV truck, but this is a step in the right direction. It'll nudge the "I want my own truck" people in the right direction towards efficiency.
This would be disastrous for our house, we have a large wooded plot, it would presumably be heavily taxed beyond our means to pay.
On the negative valenced side, it's not just a panic attack. It's more related to fight-or-flight than anxiety, though I see cases where amygdala hijack is overlapping with a panic attack.
The reason there are 1400 analysts: research studies each require one or two analysts. At this very moment, there are thousands of research studies taking place in the US medical system. Without these number of analysts, you'd have to completely revamp the system, killing all current projects, all current code, and creating a HUGE HUGE headache for everyone, not to mention laying off 1000+ through a system which it is NOT easy to layoff individuals through.
As a matter of fact, they want to transition to a new data infrastructure at the VA, but it's been delayed many times and the logistics have been very vague.
One of the biggest limits is weather and climate. Mosquitos don't exist here in New England for half the year, but if we increase the temperature by 2 C, we'll probably be facing them for 7-8 months and they'll rebound harder and faster.
