Try a can of coconut milk and a cup of pecans or cashews blended in 4 cups of water. It’s a good vegan base. Inexpensive and most flavors can be layered on top.

In heaven the cooks are Italian, the lovers are French, the mechanics are German, the police are British, and it's all organized by the Swiss.

Similarly the power of golang concurrent programming is that you write non-blocking code as you write normal code. You don't have to wrap it in functions and pollute the code but moreover, not every coder on the planet knows how to handle blocking code properly and that is the main advantage. Most programming languages can do anything the other languages can do. The problem is that not all coders can make use of it. This is why I see languages like golang as an advantage.

got contacted by a trading firm when one of the founders saw one of my Show HN posts. Was my breakthrough into the quant / hft industry and I now run my own trading firm: that one event massively changed the trajectory of my entire life.

My favorite passages:

“This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world:”

“Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream; Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream.”

“So is all conditioned existence to be seen.”


Cool stuff, thanks for sharing. I strongly recommend you add `rerere.enabled true` (makes `git pull --rebase` life easier)

    Although tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and other stochastic parrots are useful in specific contexts, AI still has nothing of "I"; on the contrary, what they really do is generate text that makes sense (grammatical text, as opposed to ungrammatical texts), which was already possible with Prolog in 2011.
If you think LLMs are no more capable than Prolog, I'm not sure if you'll ever be impressed by anything.

Richer people are happier, healthier, live longer, less stressed, and have a better quality of life. Is this a surprise to anyone?

I think the big lie is that wellness companies, doctors, and sleep widget salespeople claim that you can improve your sleep with blackout curtains, less screen time, exercise, fancy tech, and a host of other strategies. But this article is saying that being healthier and richer improve your sleep more dramatically, and those are things that are not directly in your control.

One thing is a lot of asian recipes tend to be more modular.

Also, the middle/lower range asian restaurants can't afford to print menus each day.

So for instance, if the shrimp don't look good that day, they'll gladly throw in the littleneck clams that just came in. Same with green leafy vegetables, where they're pretty much interchangeable.

"We have ong choy instead of a choy. Deal with it."

Whereas in a lot of western cuisines, if you need endive in a dish, it has to be endive. Especially in higher end restaurants. They care so much about the flavor that substitutions are not possible.

Maybe this green is slightly more bitter than this other green, and it throws off the whole flavor of the dish. Whereas, in a lower/middle end asian restaurant, nobody really cares.


If you’re really looking for a tool to collect small steps/script I highly recommend you check out the ‘just’ cli tool. It’s completely replaced our use of Make and the syntax is much easier.

If you're on MacOS an imgcat tool pairs well with an imgpbcopy tool like this:

https://github.com/williamcotton/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/im...

Then create a shell function like:

  imgc() {
    tee >(imgcat "$@") >(impbcopy -) > /dev/null
  }
So you can:

  cat image.png | imgc
Which will then show the image in the console, and if you switch over to another app you can simply paste in the image. And if you create a new file in Preview it will be the image in the paste buffer!

Just enter a page number; it works fine. Or if you wish, here are the direct links:

http://ramanujan.sirinudi.org/Volumes/01/01.pdf

http://ramanujan.sirinudi.org/Volumes/02/02.pdf

http://ramanujan.sirinudi.org/Volumes/03/03.pdf

http://ramanujan.sirinudi.org/Volumes/04/04.pdf

Ramanujan's total known/preserved output today is 37 published papers and these four notebooks; all of it is available on the site. The notebooks have been transcribed and published in several volumes with explanation (as mentioned above); those are the only thing not included on this site (and arguably, not "by" Ramanujan).


These excerpts from the The Bed of Procrustes by Nassim Taleb resonated with me and I think it applies here.

“You will be civilized on the day you can spend a long period doing nothing, learning nothing, and improving nothing, without feeling the slightest amount of guilt.”

“They are born, then put in a box; they go home to live in a box; they study by ticking boxes; they go to what is called “work” in a box, where they sit in their cubicle box; they drive to the grocery store in a box to buy food in a box; they go to the gym in a box to sit in a box; they talk about thinking “outside the box”; and when they die they are put in a box. All boxes, Euclidian, geometrically smooth boxes.”

Make it easy to start, just try doing nothing for a while, it’s uncomfortable at first but the reset comes soon enough and is quite rewarding.

The bed of procrustes as a whole is also quite thought provoking and I would recommend checking it out.


You could also just send output to separate files by re-opening stdout/stderr and use https://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/index.html (or GNU screen or tmux or whatever) to multiplex a terminal in a more organized way. This also solves an "open problem" in the article of stray prints.

If you really want to share one terminal / stdout but also prevent timing-based record splitting, you could also send outputs to FIFOs / named pipes and then have a simple record boundary honoring merge program like https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/funnel.nim with doc at https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/funnel.md As long as "record format" is shared (e.g. newline-terminated) this can also solve the stray print problem.


Really nice and fast (which is the reason I’m still using Sublime instead of VS Code). I’ve only found one piece of functionality that’s dramatically slow compared to Sublime so far: selecting all of the current highlight. In my current file I have 2,396 occurrences of `<span>`. Selecting all of them in Sublime (with ctrl + cmd + g) is certainly less than 200ms. Doing the same in Zed (with cmd + shift + l) beachballs my machine for around 5 secs.

For most code work that’s probably not a situation to optimise for, but I often work on large markup documents.


Slight edit to this. I didn't realize the core founding team was pushed out and largely committed Aliyah for Israel after the 2022 War began.

Not surprised either, as the core team was fairly progressive and anti-war, as a lot of Russian techies are. Also, it was the core team that was working on forward facing bets - sort of like a more functional version of Larry Page and Sergey Brin - and they're keeping those forward facing bets.

Middle management appears to still be operating in Russia though.

Edit:

If you're wondering why you might want to use this instead of just launching Neovim directly in a terminal, then for me the answer is performance. Everything is silky smooth, much smoother than in Kitty/Alacritty. And to disable those annoying animations, just put this in your config.

  vim.g.neovide_cursor_animation_length = 0
  vim.g.neovide_scroll_animation_length = 0

“Entrepreneurs are not at all like ordinary businessmen. An entrepreneur who is not in trouble closes no avenues, keeps a lot of balls in the air, and will never tell you the whole truth when a half-truth will do. An entrepreneur who is in trouble will lie, cheat, and steal. He will smuggle cocaine or ship bricks. We should never measure an entrepreneur by the standards of a rock-solid businessman.” — attributed to Kenneth Rind[1]

This is a damning indictment of Wojcicki's management of the company. Failed execution on the drug development strategy over 10+ years, lying about growth, pushing out the cofounder, never making a profit, hack that went undiscovered for months ... about the only area she's had success is raising money and that's in large part thanks to being a member of the Silicon Valley elite.

If she can't convince her family, friends, and connections to pony up more cash, the company will likely be sold as the DNA and profile information has real value. I worry that it will go to PE (like Ancestry.com) or a global data broker that will strip-mine the assets in every evil way you can imagine (and maybe even some we can't).


> We should also remember how a foolish and willful ignorance of the superpower of rewards caused Soviet communists to get their final result, as described by one employee: “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.” Perhaps the most important rule in management is “Get the incentives right.”

I've successfully done self-therapy using nitrous oxide, psilocybin, 5-MeO-DMT and LSD, most recently to come to terms with my difficult father to forgive him. My problem with the current push for this type of therapy is the requirment that it be done by professionals charging hundreds or thousands of dollars. One must never mention "self-therapy" because that might scare legislatures into keeping these drugs illegal. I remain resistant to this insertion of the state into what should be my right to use my own mind the way I see fit.

Yeah, my sister works at a nonprofit foundation and it sounds like an absolute disaster in terms of awful culture and management :/

I would naively expect non-profits to have more humanizing cultures internally but it's just objectively not the case. If anything it's the opposite, using the mission as cover for absolute cultural rot. And some of the best cultures seem to be at trading firms like Jane Street and TGS which also pay better than the alternatives. Go figure.


I wrote a bash version of this:

  function frg {
    result=`rg --ignore-case --color=always --line-number --no-heading "$@" |
      fzf --ansi \
          --color 'hl:-1:underline,hl+:-1:underline:reverse' \
          --delimiter ':' \
          --preview "bat --color=always {1} --theme='Solarized (light)' --highlight-line {2}" \
          --preview-window 'up,60%,border-bottom,+{2}+3/3,~3'`
    file="${result%%:*}"
    linenumber=`echo "${result}" | cut -d: -f2`
    if [ ! -z "$file" ]; then
            $EDITOR +"${linenumber}" "$file"
    fi
  }

That linked is the revised version

I don't think he's on his own. All those people he helped in the past have come out to support him via heart emojis. Almost his entire company (minus the board) has publicly supported him. His team is currently hosting him at the office with hopes to reinstate him. The CEO who temporarily replaced him has publicly and privately supported his return. OpenAI's investors are backing him. His cofounder quit in solidarity.

Turns out the secret to getting through something like this is to simply have spent the past 15+ years genuinely helping everyone you've ever come across.


The big underreported story here is how involved the Stanford Law School professor parents of SBF were and still are. They had the connections to VCs, they helped set up shell companies, they even picked the perfect FTX compliance officer: the crooked and disgraced lawyer Daniel Friedberg. And the parents were richly rewarded for their involvement.
