Obviously no right answer, but personally I think worrying too much finding the perfect tool instead of just integrating more knowledge to your PKMS is a distraction.

Rolling your own solution is especially limiting in the context of the sheer amount of integrations the popular ones (like Notion for example) support.

You're basically saying you will quickly build something better than the X hundred engineers at PKMS company Y quickly and it will continue to be better than what X hundred engineers will iterate upon.

I think that time is just better spent learning and picking the subset of features that, for example, Notion offers that really improves your learning rate.

If the expert has good T skill shape and beginner's mindset for new scenarios - this does not applly.

One counterpoint I have to this article.

Considering expert vs. novice problem-solving: Within their domain, experts leverage highly efficient models. Outside? Rigidity often impedes adaptation. Their ingrained patterns, assets in familiar territory, become cognitive liabilities in the unfamiliar. The novice's counter-intuitive strength lies in a lack of assumptions, fostering the openness to explore without ego.

I found that a nice compromise between self-hosting and publishing on a Medium / Substack is using Github pages + Notion published links:

- You get one free site per GitHub account

- I forked https://github.com/academicpages/academicpages.github.io and updated the blog posts to link to published Notion pages.

- This gives you a great WYSIWYG editor and all the nice features that Notion provides (collab edit, embeds, tables, LaTeX, view/edit anywhere).

- Notion handles the SEO too.

- See https://mikeshen.github.io/year-archive/ and an example post - https://mikeshen.notion.site/Deepnote-Embeds-Share-Your-Resu....

This issue was raised quite poignantly in the Eminem hit song -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkqMbsmLrtA

The cynic in me knows the real reason for them to be a carbon neutral company is so that you don't feel bad purchasing another one of their phones since it was produced "neutrally".

...may not be loaned to, FTX Trading. They could lend it to any other entity though, like Alameda. LOL

It's not so simple. Asians for example are genetically predisposed to being lean (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-46960-9), so we "seem" healthier. However, that can be deceptive because Asians tend to have less fat and more muscle than other ethnicities and are predisposed to higher rates of type 2 diabetes at lower body weight (https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/spotlights/diabetes-asi...).

So even though Asians might "look" healthier, it doesn't all come from a difference in diet and even BMI ratios can be a deceptive measure of health.

It's a multi-variable analysis and can have confounding factors.

I agree with asking hard questions, but I think there's a limit to how much one can really expect an individual job applicant to determine the financial state of the company.

For one, the people that are answering their questions are by pre-condition already drinking the company kool-aid.

The Great Resignation was a step in the right direction.

I see this argument come up all the time. However, the job market in general and especially in America is terribly inefficient. The vast majority of Americans work paycheck-to-paycheck and are tied down to their geographic location (family, children, housing). There isn't really a social safety net (by design, I think) in America for employees who voluntarily quit their jobs. So lots of people are stuck in jobs they hate, getting paid less than they deserve, and are a poor match for their skills. There are still lots of jobs that don't have the luxury of entirely virtual interview processes. Over time, I do hope the job market gets more and more liquid for candidates.

Tinder would seem to contradict you there. How often is an eloquence requirement given vs. height requirement? Sure, height is not something we should fixate on, but it doesn't mean that doesn't happen anyways.

I think achieving superiority over humans is practically solving the problem though. Solving chess or go by going through a complete search space seems more like a hardware/computational goal than a practical ml/ai goal.

Is this an article or a commercial? Psych, it's both!

Many people without families don't see the need for a yard/garage/garden when they live on their own and can take public transit in a high-density area. These people value proximity to bars/restaurants/experiences and are okay with trading off space for a shorter commute more things to within their nearby surroundings.

There are people who quit, but there's always another engineer willing to complete the work they wouldn't. That's the unfortunate reality.

You can have a job and still be free. The two are not mutually exclusive. OP's point is that you shouldn't slave away the prime years of your life saving for the dream of FIRE on some beach, island, or etc.

I think the idea that you'll be so much happier once you're on that beach than you are now is equally as insane as conspicuous consumption.

The longest-lived vaporware in history

Having the same playlists, interface, and experience on various different mediums is more convenient. The vast majority of people do not have enough local music to have to clear out their local cache manually. It's easier to share playlists with your friends who are likely all on Spotify as well.

This is a local problem, not a global problem. I fail to see how reducing population in Tokyo, Japan would solve a housing crisis that exists in San Francisco...

They'll never get 25k workers to relocate to Nashville.

I, for one, welcome our quantum word salad overlords.

Hand-offs are also dangerous in many parts of medicine. So, often times, hospitals want the decisions being made by a single shift to mitigate the risk of transcription errors between shifts.

Removing one driver from a bus which can carry 30-60 people is less cost cutting than removing one driver for 1-4 passengers for a private/pooled ride. Companies don't attack problems from a societal benefit-analysis standpoint, they attack them from a profit standpoint.

Metadata querying I imagine. The search was working, buffered videos and main site were loading, just not displaying videos. (so not network)

Well put. The article makes it sound like training the "quiet eye", i.e. improving eye focus by X percent, will improve elite athlete traits of calmness and zone/flow. When cause/effect operating in the opposite direction is equally (if not more) likely.

True, but it does impact how probabilistically unlikely the hot streak needs to be to default the house.

Good job, compiler :)

Agreed 100%. For quick one-off scripts and coding interviews, I have no qualms with using python. But maintaining api input/output guarantees in a large piece of software w/o explicit typing sounds like a huge pain to me.

People are often underpaid compared to market rate because jobs are not a perfectly liquid market. This is due to a number of factors: family situation, workplace social bonds, confidence in one's abilities, fear of change. It is very naive to believe that the labor markets are efficient. This is why some companies are able to take advantage of employees and get away with underpaying them.
