I’ve also experienced anxiety dreams at various times going back to early childhood. If you can get over the unpleasantness, they’re nothing to be afraid of. In fact they’re usually useful indications from your subconscious about things that are happening in real life. The best way to reduce the frequency of these dreams is to figure out what they’re about and fix the underlying problem. Easier said than done, obviously, but still a better solution that trying to fight the dreams or suppress them.

In general it’s good practice to maintain a close and cordial relationship with your subconscious. Dreams are one of the best ways to access this part of your self. To improve dream recall and understanding, practice writing down dreams first thing in the morning upon waking. It’s hard at first, and definitely unpleasant for anxiety dreams. But power through it. As you get in the habit, your dream recall will improve, then you will be able to decode the messages from your dreams, and then make changes as necessary.

For example, I have noticed an increase in anxiety dreams after interactions with certain emotionally abusive people in my family. Noticing this pattern motivated me to minimize my contact with these people, at which point the anxiety dreams stopped.
They're already made great strides into expanding the pro-level meta hero pool over the last several major patches. As an observer it feels like the viable pro hero pool is bigger than ever this year at TI8.
Said parent commenter:
"Without any good life strategies the happiness money brings peaks at 70k or such (basically you don't have to worry about regular life expenses)."

Please! Try having a few kids and living in a desirable metro area. I didn't stop worrying about money until my salary was twice that, and my wife works too.

So many sayings about financial happiness seem written for single people with no dependents.
Vertical integration is grabbing up- and down-stream in your supply chain.

Anti-trust is about grabbing horizontal competitors.
I don't think it's that bad. The RTX is a whole new architecture and will have significantly more cores. The bigger question is probably just how the performance is compared to the price and power consumption.

Realtime raytracing wasn't feasible before.

Prices must include VAT in Europe, which seems to account for that 20% plus you’re referring to.
You're effectively training the network for both when training for denoising as your ground truth images are both denoised and anti aliased. With ray tracing both problems are brute forced by the same approach of throwing more samples per pixel at the problem.
I would say something with configurable memory (8, 16, 32, 64) and storage (m.2) and a basic GPU. If you need more powerful graphics, then get an outboard GPU.

Pretty much an Intel NUC with an i7.
Doing a short JavaScript training for colleagues. What should I teach them?
I am going to do a two hour training for my colleagues in JavaScript and the surrounding ecosystem.

They are developers with 2-8 years of experience mostly doing SharePoint projects and websites. Their technology is stuck in 2009, with bare HTML+jQuery. They can do a bit of nodejs too.

My plan is to talk about three things:

- cool features of ES6/7 like async-await.
- webpack basics
- vue.js basics

What else should I teach them?
> Why smoke, with the known health impact? Why not edibles? They last a lot longer, and it doesn't harm your lungs.

I'm aware of a handful of reasonable significant health impacts due to smoking, and as you say, the harm against the lungs is something I'm concerned about, along with the harm against my teeth/gums.

I've recently (last few weeks) decided to cut back on smoking flower, in favor of using an oil pen. It's still not ideal, but I believe it will help in this regard.

I actually don't really like edibles, to be honest. The potency is too unpredictable for me, and they last way too long. At the same time, the come-up takes longer than I like to wait for the effects. I'd appreciate an edible more if there was an extended period of time that I was intending on being high, but my life isn't usually that available. At the same time, edibles are much more difficult to come by, and also more expensive. Also, it's difficult finding an edible that isn't produced with something highly suggary/fatty, of which I don't usually eat.

Digital nomads: What is your org stack for work?
I’m considering building the skills to do remote work effectively. These questions would apply to those who flex time, freelance, or solo develop as well:

What is your “organizational stack”?

How do you keep it all together, especially if you are a part or full time traveler?

How is it working for you?
I read somewhere (looking for the link now) that back when the highway system was being planned, it was felt that i95 had to go through all the major cities down the eastern seaboard, and it would be an "insult" to Philadelphia to give its highway another designation.

Yes, it would have been be logical to simply redesignate the NJ Turnpike as i95 for its duration, and relabel the highway that goes through Philly with another number, but instead we got the craziness that exists till today.
I worked for a competitor and we had similar verbiage. It's there to prevent "XXX is a 10 million times faster than YYY." We actually gave everyone permission if they both asked and allowed us to review their methodology to make sure they weren't doing anything horrifically wrong (benchmarking is hard).
You have a point, and charging too little in certain taxes is one strategy to help the poor.

I'd rather keep the tax and give them money, but that seems... difficult in the current political climate.
Normally I would be excited, but now when I hear about Apple updating any Mac hardware I get worried about what will be removed or broken next.

It will be very disappointing to me if yet another laptop comes out of Apple with no useful ports, an unreliable keyboard, and the goofy Touch Bar.
The premium for EU market is just about the amount of VAT. In US there's a sales tax for that which isn't included in MSRP.
I assume it'd look at lot like Intel's high end NUC models. Small case, Thunderbolt 3 port. Maybe multiple TB3 ports?

And it could actually be "Mini", which is increasingly a stretch for the current design from 8 years ago. The Apple TV is probably smaller and more powerful if you could run a general purpose OS on it.
I mean if the data says they're safer on average, I'd pay a bit more? And it'd do away with loud blasting of the driver's favorite genre in the car, turning off the AC and rolling down the windows when I'd prefer it on, aggressive acceleration, etc. that you see with some UberX drivers.

Pain relief: Folks in legal states tend to use fewer opiods. Seizure relief. It also helps folks with MS deal with muscle spasticity - it makes folks feel like it is lessened, though from what I understand they aren't actually, physically better. In addition, it can help folks with low appetites and/or nausea (like folks getting chemo). It also appears to help somewhat with nerve pain specifically.

Some folks are able to get off other drugs by using cannabis - opiates and alcohol, for example.

There isn't as much research on migraines, but I've known a few folks that are helped by them. One person it is a risk: Sometimes inhaling it can trigger a migraine, but sometimes it helps with the pain.

Mental health is a mixed bag. For some folks pre-disposed to certain mental illnesses, it can bring them out. For others, specifically with anxiety or depression, some strains can affect folks badly or help, depending on the person.

Yeah, that's why I said this:

I'm totally for sandboxing, at the discretion of the user. It doesn't require complicated infrastructure to do this.
The market disagrees with you as it's trading at $142 at the moment. It's not like Coke is merging with Pepsi.
That might not be a winning strategy if you have real competition though.
Ask HN: How do I choose between software engineering and data science?
I'm applying for internships for summer 2019, and as the title suggests, am unsure of whether to apply for swe or data science positions. My background and skill set are mostly in statistics and machine learning, so I'm inclined to apply for data science, but many of the postings I've looked at list a PhD as a minimum requirement, and I am an undergrad. On the flip side, there are lots of swe postings looking for undergraduates, but they expect knowledge of data structures/algorithms and programming languages that I don't have (I'm not a CS major).

I think I'm a reasonably strong applicant, but am unsure how to navigate between the Scylla of having the wrong degree and Charybdis of having the wrong background. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Doesn't this mean that EVGA or MSI overproduced them, and NVIDIA sold everything they made?
Anecdote: I self-experimented with binaural beats some years ago. I did not notice anything regarding concentration, but I did find that tones starting in the normal awake/aware range and sliding linearly down to the slower, deep sleep range over 15-20 minutes would reliably cause me to fall asleep.

I ultimately layered that audio behind a guided meditation relaxation track I found online and used the combination as a sleep aid for a few years.
If it was much safer, I would.
Independent consultant sued over Tesla Model 3 teardown
Not only that later in the same demo you can notice the fps drop during the explosion sequence.
not really. both those indicated projects had all the required component worked out already, plus the physics at their basis where understood. there was a working reactor and the governing phenomena was well understood. it was mostly a refinement and tuning process to get it right. same with apollo, at that point nasa had been launching people in space for a decade, working out the docking procedures and capsule operations.

contrast with deep neural network, there are no models to predict overfitting or undertraining beyond what training cross validation say. hardly the same situation. there's no model that can predict a network confidence and network output as a classifier is still very rough even before it gets converted into car commands (i.e. see Uber report)

those cited project had a theoretical framework on which they were built upon. neural network are still rooted in 'tune them if they don't work' stage.
I think the headline should probably read "More Americans admit near-constant cannabis use"
I still can't follow the pictures on the linked article that somehow have 295 going both east/west and north/south.

I think the confusing part is merely why they word it that way; everwhere else does just fine with understanding that sometimes driving north on a freeway has you going east or west for a time.

> But Apple has the iMac Pro and the upcoming Mac Pro update. So, what would a pro-focused Mac Mini be?

I guess a lot like the 2012s. I have a 2012 mac mini server, i7, 16gb and two internal disks. The only thing I miss is that the built in GPU can't drive a 4k monitor.
From what I understand, she clearly understood the limitations of what Babbage achieved and wrote her program to demonstrate the value of extending the hardware in order to run more universal "programs," like the one she writes!

Also note that apparently Babbage later did consider exactly the implementation of the said missing hardware functionality:

if you think the odds of something happening are lower than the share price, you sell / short / buy "no". if you think they are more likely, you buy. the odds are 100% if you plan on killing someone, and surely some people will think its less than 100%. they will buy "no" shares because they think that its less than a certainty that someone is going to be assassinated.
Quad core is believable, probably the same Coffee Lake parts that just got them to quad core on the 13" Macbook Pro.

I could see a RAID of SSDs like the iMac Pro has. Not in a base model certainly, but that's what I'd put in a pro-focused mini.

Thunderbolt 3 for expansion for sure. Which will be hilarious because the Mac Mini Pro will be a more up-to-date Pro machine than the Mac Pro is. They still have Thunderbolt 2 ports (with the mini DisplayPort connector) on Mac Pro, Macbook Air, and Mac Mini. The latter two are said to be updated soon, the Mac Pro who knows when.
Windows Server 2016. All the improvements in the post that helped us are the same on Linux. I will agree though there's more dogfooding to be done. It's happening slowly but surely.
> React: when you need total control over the architecture and build, but only for webapps built with components. React-ecosystem development takes time and requires a lot of planning beforehand. React pays back plenty, but only if you know what you are doing.

Complete nonsense. React is not any more complicated than Vue and I think it's significantly easier for newbies to grok than Angular (with some non-trivial anecdotal evidence to back this up). I do not understand where this perception comes from. My best guess is that React scales well to complicated applications which makes people think that's what it's geared for. Maybe I'm lucky that I learned React in the "early days" before this perception was common.
>Buying and selling stocks allows you to allocate your capital as you see fit.

There is an intrinsic difference between the normal flow of money in a basic economy vs. the stock market. Namely it is the: allocation of capital for the sole purpose of selling it at a higher cost and buying at a lower cost. This is entirely different from allocating capital to create a factory, or buy food, etc.. etc.. The net effect of a market that trades stocks like this is negative due to the infrastructure required to maintain it. It's similar to how a casino can be viewed as a net negative to society.

HFT is the perfect example of this. Trades made in nanoseconds with no physical meaning other than trying to outplay another automated gambler.

> They reward well-run companies and punished mismanagement.

Wouldn't it be better for the workers who produce the actual GDP to participate in the upside rather than some rich dude who contributes none of the work? This is the primary driver behind wealth inequality. You would know that if you understood economics.

>hey reward well-run companies and punished mismanagement.

Any business owner will be rewarded regardless of whether it was owned by a billion shareholders or by a few. Incentive, punishment and rewards are not the result of "capital markets" it exists regardless of whether or not a company IPO'd.
Frankfurt Airport still has an enormous one (landside, not for those already waiting to board). It's absolutely beautiful to watch.
Ah right. Please flag it.
One possible way to implement this: Have on betting pool per person. When betting cryptographically commit to a time interval for predicted death time. After death bettors have limited time to reveal the time interval they bet on. Split pool among correct bets weighted by 1/interval-length.

Making it easy to hire an assassin anonymously is why I find privacy preserving coins like zcash scary, despite valuing my privacy highly.
What makes you so convinced that breaking Chinese censorship is in Google's best interest? What makes you convinced that they have any responsibility to do any amount of good to anyone?

Google stands to gain a monopoly in the largest market on Earth by signing a deal with China. They stand to lose the largest market on Earth with no chance of ever competing in it if they stab China in the back. They will do nothing to "break" censorship. Doing no evil isn't even in their mission statement anymore, so starting a civil war over free speech certainly isn't on their radar.

Google wants market share. They want more GBs of personal data that they can use to profile the human race and target ads to the right people. The only concern about well-being in any of this is Google being concerned that their own employees will turn this into a media fiasco, which it slowly is becoming.
>Pretty much an Intel NUC with an i7.

That's exactly what I'm thinking although Apple being Apple, base price will be $1,299 for the i5 version, storage and memory will be soldered on and marked up 200%. It'll still sell like hotcakes because the alternative is a hackintosh and the time of your average HN reader is dear enough it's just easier and arguably more sensible to spend the money unless you really want to spend the time fighting MacOS to run on non-Apple hardware.
Narrow benchmarks aren't interesting. Use in large scale production, however, more or less guarantees stuff will eventually work well.

A lot of people need Mac servers (eg. for building and testing macOS and iOS apps). Right now, the best computer for that use case is an iMac. iMacs are really inconvenient as servers.

The Mac mini is a perfect server: needs little power, it's small and stackable, easy to replace if something fails, doesn't have unnecessary components like big graphic cards or screen.

I'd love to buy a couple Mac minis as build servers and for running unit tests, but the current version is too slow and way to expensive.
Your main criticism of Apple products is other users' motivation for buying them?
Not directly related to the content, but as a frontend engineer, I'm always curious about the decisions that go into making a complicated web page.

In this case, my devtools reports the following as I load the page with uBlock on with good internet:

> 60 requests | 71.3 MB transferred | Finish: 13.63s | DOMContentLoaded: 1.33 s

Sorting by size shows that it's largely the background images taking up most of the load, with the background header/mountain picture [0] making up 11.8MB of the load. On a similar note, clicking into the tab from a different tab makes Chrome freeze for ~1s on my 2017 MacbookPro. Not quite the most user-friendly experience!

With the explanation I said earlier, yes.

But there are alternative sources for what is going on. In particular:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nvidia-results/nvidia-for...

>> Nvidia previously had forecast sales for cryptocurrency chips for the fiscal second quarter ended July 29 of about $100 million. On Thursday it reported actual revenue of only $18 million.

So its not entirely clear who overproduced things per se, but what we DO know is that NVidia was expecting $100 Million cards to be sold to cryptominers between April and July. Only $18 million were sold.

In any case, it is clear that there's a lot of 10xx cards laying around right now. And NVidia clearly wants to extract as much value from current stock as possible. Pricing the 20xx series very high above the 10xx series is one way to achieve what they want.

A few papers I've read have shown some positive effects with Asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, anxiety.
You guys are right about that. But first to be clear. This is NOT our HQ, but an office not working on our core- platform. People sitting in this office can look out of the window to see who's standing at the door before opening the door.

Also, please note, this was just a fun small project for us. Making an image with a camera and posting to Slack would be better. We had much fun making this without putting a lot effort in it, that was for now the point.

We are aware of all the security issues and are not using this in production at our main office.
Same here - I've been running a 2012 Mini as my media center since it came out. I actually purchased a 2014 Mini the day it came out, found out it couldn't be upgraded, and returned it the next day.
It's Time to End the 'Data Is' vs. 'Data Are' Debate
I think the argument people used last year is still the same argument though. The 1v1 SF mid was all about computer-precision mechanical skill with hitting creeps and HP management. People said the AI would never be able to match pro-level meta/team strategies. While OpenAI Five is insanely impressive, it's still very glaringly obvious that their range of play styles is very restricted. Many of the pros, even ones who have played against (read: got crushed by) OpenAI Five, still think it's very far away for the bot to out draft a pro team with the full ranked game rules and hero pool.

The push heavy death ball strategy is pretty much optimal for the high-precision, perfectly coordinated, mechanical fighting skill the bots have. They get a few kills using the mechanical skill and then they group up and press their advantage as hard as they can.

It seems like all the rules/mechanics they are still working on are the more abstract out-of-the-box stuff that evolved to deal with these types of 5-man "teamfight" hero lineups... (warding, game-contextual item builds, courier management, full hero pool with all the "rat" split pushing heroes, etc.)
Bah. They're not even using the term to display any lack of knowledge, because there are multiple sports involved.

No mention of the Macbook Pro then. My eyesight can't cope with the 13/12" models and the only alternative right now is a Macbook Pro which can't handle the heat generated by its processor. I thought Mac Mini and Pro were opposite ends of the spectrum? Sounds like a bit of "creative" marketing to me.
