To anyone reading this who is struggling but hasn't had the time to talk to a human therapist, I'm working on an accessible AI therapist to provide at least some experimentally verified help. I've got a prototype up at facebook.com/mindfulmarsha and would love feedback from yall. I work on this bot at night after work and am a ways out from doing anything to monetize it, so if you're interested in helping with dev time, message Marsha on FB or contribute to our patreon: www.patreon.com/mindfulmarsha

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder after a panic attack in 2014, ironically during a time that it looked like the startup I was at was going to be unable to raise a round and my girlfriend at the time was suffering from severe depression. It has taken me years to be functional despite my appearances, and I literally, while working on adding the PHQ-9 Depression screener to the bot, realized that I had also been suffering from depression. Trying to turn this pain into a platform though. Looking forward to feedback!

I think your project is very very cool, and I was thinking maybe we can work together on this.
We created a very similar thing, but instead of scraping RSS, we scrapped some well structured pages like newspapers and blogs.

Sure, nobody ever said otherwise. But that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

The software I use is open-source, so I can see what I'm running, and what updates I get. I also don't use any auto-updates. The web is inherently different in that I can't really guarantee that the code I get is going to be the same code that you are getting.
More reasonable labor costs.

Seattle costs are ginormous.
In 2017 the gap is in IoT. The Linux + 32 bit processor w/ MMU + WiFi stack adds up to a minimum cost of $30 for anything that connects to the internet.

Something super-lightweight that has a good network stack, doesn't require a conventional MMU, TLB and all that stuff that explodes the die area. (but ideally has some memory protection)
Yes, I work in IT.

Why do people put monks on such a pedestal?
I think it’s a fallacy to say it’s hard to move people given today’s tech and capabilities. Also given the over crowding of current tech centers.

You also have to see it from Amazon’s stated goal. They said they want a viable second Headquarters. They want some place that could function if the other place went down. Detroit fits that.

I'm pretty sure in the case of at least Qualcomm, the carrier can do a heckuva lot more. Most snapdragon SoCs support a pretty hefty subset of OMA-DM at the baseband level, allowing for execution of arbitrary 'apps' on the baseband, by the carrier. Throw in any vulnerability in that baseband stack, and now attackers have a very direct path to system memory.

In a country like Brazil, there are people that would very desperately like those $25 precisely because of aforementioned disparity.

> GTP MSS clamping assume there is no <1344 link in the path!

Huh? You appear to be implying that clamping the MSS is causing large packets to be dropped, or ICMP responses to be blackholed. Neither of those is true. It's simply the mobile network asking the endpoints not to send larger TCP packets than that. (And since TCP has traditionally been 95%+ of the traffic, the GTP fragmentation for large non-TCP packets isn't a big deal).
That’s brilliant.

Oh! That's brilliant. I usually carry a cheap camera instead of my expensive DSLR and it doesn't geotag as it has no GPS. It's disabled on my cell phone - usually. It re-enabled itself (that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it) at one point, so I manually edited the exif data.

I'm not a hugely private person (I've had countless internet friends visit me over the years) but I'm not giving up coordinates to my favorite fishing hole. As near as I can tell, only three people know about it.

I really am partially serious about telling nobody. That's how things get ruined - from your favorite diner to your favorite hidden beach. Pretty soon your favorite diner is always full and there's trash on your once secluded beach.
Embracing and experiencing emotions in the present moment is exactly what the concept of mindfulness aims to teach. Repression of emotions is widely considered an ineffective strategy of coping with negative circumstances.

Stress and depression and other mental health conditions are determined much more by concerns about the past or future, questioning why or how things have or will happen. That's not to say that these are unreasonable thoughts...but for afflicted people, they can become consumed by these thoughts. If people wanted to become monks and completely live in the present, that's their choice. But striking a balance is probably a more reasonable goal for someone with aspirations of success...or whatever.

I recommend looking into Network+ material, don't do the exam, but I learned quite a lot studying for the exam using the CBT Nuggets videos.

Also, Cisco has the ICND1 and ICND2, or rather called CCNA, which goes into depth on network technologies.

If you're more on the Web technology side, I recommend looking at this book called "HTTP: The Definitive Guide"

By far it was one of the best books I studied in undergrad, it goes over a lot of Network protocol fundamentals.
I don't see any lack of incentive outside of poor infrastructure but hey, it doesn't seem to stop LA.

The M-1 rail is a joke. It goes from New Center to downtown, which is like a 4 mile stretch. It's the People Mover 2.0, public transportation lip service. It doesn't connect the burbs to the city, which is what we need. Not a personal shuttle for Quicken Loans employees living in midtown.

Our problem is that the northern suburbs get to vote on public transportation and they always vote against it. People who live in the burbs closer to Detroit (Ferndale, Royal Oak, Oak Park, Hazel Park, Roseville, etc) want to be able to ride something into the city so they don't have to deal with traffic and parking.

I can't say I care very much one way or another wether Amazon comes here, I just disagree with the sentiment that Detroit is unworthy of it.

I worked on setting up ansible for running a setup playbook on our new virtualised dev environments complete with VirtualBox bugs. Ansible has been a bit of a pita for me to set up. Try pulling in a git repo with it. It fails and does not even tell you what is up. Helpful error messages anyone? Maybe this tower could help debug some issues. Although it is basically more added complexity. I don't really understand the advantage over running a normal script either, but it was not really my idea. Somehow my team thinks they should not listen when I say something sucks and listen to this rude kid who likes to talk fast, likes to interrupt and call themselves the best ever instead. I might not look cool and my ways are not the latest in cool tech, but I sure as f am experienced and know things. It will be the others problem soon enough I guess. Maybe the advantage is that you get to run it on all servers at the same time. Not that this is a big one when you have like two. Oh well. I guess I'm not quite done with this software until my team realizes maybe I'm not entirely bullshit when I say we should use simple scripts or go straight to docker. Maybe this tower thing can help debug the mess.
You don't need an explicit `--passthru` option. `rg '^|foo|bar|baz'` will print every line in the input while highlighting `foo`, `bar` and `baz`.

You're intentionally conflating "basic code review" with "politically charged state actor performing code review", which are not the same thing.

Did they say they allow no audit or outside code review?

Or simply that political nation states who have intelligence agencies that actively subvert security solutions to compromise computers (the very things AV companies work to prevent) shouldn't have access to the very cookie pot they work to steal from?

Frankly, I have no idea why you'd let people review your source code who have a vested interest in finding exploits that they will use against people using your software.
Risk becomes a vehicle by which privilege reinforces itself – only the privileged can take risks and only risk is rewarded. Which is not to say we should all be cautious and people or institutions should never venture to do unusual things.

I agree with what the author is trying to say here, but disagree with the second part of the first sentence. Everyone can take risks, and risk is not the only factor that determines reward.

Anyone can take risks, but me investing half my net worth into a company is fundamentally different than Elon Musk throwing half of his into a business venture. While we both would essentially be betting the same 50%, taking 50% from me might put me into financial hardship while Musk, though I'm sure he would be very upset about it, would not struggle to make ends meet.

Say both of our 50% bets paid off and we made a 5x return on investment, that would immediately put me into a higher tier of quality of life, while Musk is still just another billionaire. In this example I, the comparatively less privileged, have far more to gain than the more privileged Musk.

From a purely financial standpoint Musk seems to come out better in terms of risk to reward ratio, but there is more than just money at play in our internal risk evaluation strategies.
Immutable content is a prerequisite for pins. The caching benefits mostly fall out of the immutability, not the pinning. So as long as the hypothetical standard would allow one to be used without the other additional uses could fall out of that stack.

It's an implementation detail that varies by headset. I've read that Oculus's developer kits had it at infinity, but the CV1 is fixed at 2 meters [1].

Oculus also had a "focal surface display" tech demo of a display system that can alter the optics to vary tje focal distance across an image, letting it approximate the scene you're looking at. This isn't in any consumer hardware (yet) [2].

I can second that. A lot of virus detection basically boils down to detecting this particular substring. Which is usually quite easily bypassed.

why do you extract the frames as jpgs instead of something lossless ? I expect you'll get better quality, smaller gifs with less noise if you use pngs instead.
Sure, but that's open source and you can disable automatic updates, meaning they can't change the code whenever they feel like doing so. And if they do, the code will be kept in the source code control history, and will eventually be caught.

It's wildly different from a JS file that's loaded every time you visit the website.
> You'd be placing a similar amount of trust in Mozilla by using Firefox, since browsers automatically update themselves these days.

No, because I use the Debian Firefox, which means that I'm trusting the Debian Mozilla team. I feel much better about that than about directly trusting Mozilla themselves.

I think what GP is getting at (somewhat anyway) is the people who say, "Drop acid or do shrooms at home. You'll come out a changed man." That's not psychedelic therapy. As you said, that's taking psychedelics in hopes of therapeutic benefits.

I've seen people say that a non-trivial amount of time in threads like these. It could work, but that's a huge gamble.
Saying my family history is significant for depression is an extreme understatement. My parents and grandparents shared the sunny disposition of Henrik Ibsen. It was no surprise that I too suffered from major depressive episodes and dysthymia (persistent depressed mood over a long period of time).

It has been a long strange journey but by taking advantage of what the medical community has to offer I now am happier than I ever thought possible. One really important moment for me was the realization that everything is biology. There is no difference between physical and mental health. Migraine pain and the pain of depression both hurt. A heart attack and suicide make you the very same dead. Everything you think feel and do is modulated by the soup between your ears. If the soup is short of some ingredient or another it manifests as emotion or behavior.

The book Behave by Robert M. Sapolosky is a fantastic journey into the chemical basis for behavior. While the book is admittedly dense, Sapolosky clearly explains how neuroanatomy and neurochemistry form the basis of experience and consciousness. The writings of the late Oliver Sacks also illuminate how when the physical seat of perception and cognition, the brain, is disrupted in some way, our ability to perceive or what we perceive is fundamentally altered. A patient with a visual field disruption was only able to perceive half the food on their plate. Turn the plate around and the other half was experienced by the patient.

The human organism is insanely complex and nuanced. Human life is in cosmic terms is a trace of a blink. For anyone suffering from depression I would urge you to put aside any misgivings you have about labels and stigma, find the best doctor you can and start to address your depression. It's pretty great not to be miserable. I've tried both.
