qorrect··on Show HN: Sweep, Open-weights 1.5B model for next-edit autocomplete
Glad to hear I'm not alone, the latest releases of JetBrains have been so bad I finally cancelled my subscription. VSCode has been a nice surprise, "its giving old emacs" as the kids would say.
qorrect··on Show HN: I designed an espresso machine and coffee grinder
> Some people might say that it’s cool to open to open up a home appliance and expose yourself to high voltage AC components, but at the end of the day, it’s also pretty fun.

Ok you got me.

Was really hoping this would be a new major mode for Emacs.

qorrect··on Mice live longer when inflammation-boosting protein is blocked
This also lines up with something said in the book Lifespan about fasting reducing inflammation.
qorrect··on Ask HN: Should I remove work experience from resume?
How long did it take for you to get a job? I'm currently looking again after a long sabbatical.
qorrect··on Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Geometric Perspective
I think they are talking about the word embeddings, where context is embedded into high geometric dimensions (one dimension might capture how 'feminine' a word is, or how 'blue' it is).
qorrect··on Ask HN: What is the best financial advice someone has ever given you?
Most of the market gains occur overnight, not during trading hours.
qorrect··on Ask HN: How can I advertise my open source project for almost no money

qorrect··on Ask HN: How can I advertise my open source project for almost no money
Yes I think you are right, it was funny to me but I see your point.

I haven't yet posted to Show I'll do that after I make those changes, thanks!

qorrect··on Making light 'feel' a magnetic field like an electron would
> the researchers observed, for the first time, that it forms discrete energy bands called Landau levels

Isn't this huge news? Discrete energy levels for photons?

qorrect··on What is the Fourth Dimension? (1884)
That's Lorentzian geometry and Minkowski space from the 1900's and created for Relativity.

This is Euclidian geometry, much older and more 'accepted'.

qorrect··on Linkers and Loaders (1999) [pdf]
Yeah this book takes me back too. It is very approachable and yeah even fun.
qorrect··on SymPy: Symbolic Mathematics in Python
Same here, I've been slogging through with raw sympy this tool looks great.

How do I speed up the start time for it - any ideas? Recompile it with PyPy or similar?

qorrect··on The Enchippening
What are you going to do with the steam boiler ?
qorrect··on Ask HN: Who else is working on nothing?
Thank you both - I'm feeling the same, and I had tied up so much of my personality and life with software development, I feel pretty lost now. I've had a side project to work on for as long as I can remember, now I'm just not interested in building at all. And honestly, I don't know where to go from here.
qorrect··on Software Engineers Say the Job Market Is Getting Much Worse
It does feel that way. Also feels unjust that the first to be replaced by AI is us (software engineers), that may be playing into it?

We had it good for so long. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for all the bugs.

qorrect··on Phind Model beats GPT-4 at coding, with GPT-3.5 speed and 16k context
It's so fast ... and accurate.
qorrect··on Has a San Antonio inventor solved a problem of small-scale wind power?
All of the small wind turbines I have seen have been mounted on a tower, which creates its own set of headaches.

But yes the tower is a must usually.

qorrect··on Goodbye to Thien-Thi Nguyen
What were y'all working on back then?
qorrect··on DJI Virtual Flight (iOS) has been broken for five months
I am just imagining this, or did it feel like 10-15 years ago breaking changes were a big deal, and companies went out of their way to provide an upgrade path. Now my flutter app from 3 months ago won't even compile.
qorrect··on Mamba: Fast, robust, and cross-platform package manager for Python
Just started using it, it's amazing.
qorrect··on Ask HN: Those who were broke and lost in life in 20s. How'd you find way again?
My advice is aimed at previous me, so take it with a grain of salt.

I was not lost in my 20's. I am now lost in my 40's though, and I'm not looking to get back on the path.

Travel if you can. Find a job that takes you somewhere you wouldn't normally go. Life is about experiences, be open to them and get out of your bubble as much as you can stand.

Don't take it too seriously. Laugh and enjoy life as much as possible. Fake the enjoyment till it becomes real if you have to.

Stay lost, see where you end up.
