I feel that sleep will ultimately be the answer and the cure. Personal anecdote - one of my uncles is affected by this disease. One day, my aunt could not wake him up in the morning as hard as she tried. He would mumble and try to go back t

That's an interesting viewpoint, since the usual mantra is 'a good manager protects the engineer' by going to meetings and letting them do deep work without distraction. Maybe in your case she saw the potential of a future le

I have the same issue with late night talk shows / live comedy shows where the audience cheering is way louder than the host's voice. At some point I tried an AI model to detect and lower the volume of these parts, but didn't

I have commented about this in the past and got downvoted for it. There is a reason why virtually all international conferences require presentations and talks to be held in English. If this was a German-only event it would be understandabl

The first pair (evaluation/description) is especially tricky to separate in a management situation. I have seen many times an employee make a mistake and be given proper descriptive feedback, they will take it as evaluative and their p

We actually were considering DVC, however for our particular use case (huge video files which don't change much) the git paradigm was not that useful - you need at least one copy of the data on the origin and another one on each system

Could it be an acquired trait? Most 'smart kids' don't need to put in the work to learn (and that's mostly all the work there is for most kids) until they hit college.

I recommend to go to a medieval fair, there you can touch and handle melee weapons freely to get an idea how they feel. I remember that I once handled a parade sword which had a very thick and ornate blade, my arms were hurting immediately.

From reading the wiki page I take it to mean hallucinations which one gives greater importance to than they should. Which is sort of similar to what you were describing, I don't think they meant offense.

Back in the day when I used to live in a multi-apartment building someone was being so loud as to wake me up in the middle of the night and I could never figure out who it was. It was an old building so the noise would transfer across many

There is no need for a study, this has already happened[0]. It's inevitable that in a crisis the military will use AI to short-circuit established protocols in order get an edge. [0] - https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai

What's lost on HN is that not all people are 5-star engineers with unlimited growth potential. Most are in the middle of the curve, working at companies that can't afford to pay them that well, stuck there because home/family

It's a very nice concept and I think it's much better than the held-together-with-duct-tape concepts usually seen in diy bike conversions. That being said, I am a bit skeptical about your claims to be fireproof. Did you try to sta

The article states that the system was cooled using a solution of sodium chromate to inhibit corrosion. However the wiki page of sodium chromate states that it is very corrosive. Is it a typo or something? It's also mentioned that the

Making detailed lists is helpful to remember what you have to do and prioritize it, but is only one part (planning) of executive function. The other part, actually executing, is arguably harder since it requires more input energy than just

Given the amount of mediocre managers promoted from good ICs, it would be interesting to see if and how they can actually become competent at managing. Maybe playing the games presented in the paper regularly as a team exercise could actual

I'd say the cheapest NAS would be an external HDD plugged in your WiFi router - most of them have at least one USB port nowadays, with some offering advanced features like photo gallery etc.
