Yes, there is ample research that shows suicide and self-harm feature elements of contagion and suggestibility. See eg "werther effect"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_suicide

eg this example of media reporting guidelines that appear to have reduced deaths by suicide: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18082110

> In Austria, "Media Guidelines for Reporting on Suicides", have been issued to the media since 1987 as a suicide-preventive experiment. Since then, the aims of the experiment have been to reduce the numbers of suicides and suicide attempts in the Viennese subway and to reduce the overall suicide numbers. After the introduction of the media guidelines, the number of subway suicides and suicide attempts dropped more than 80% within 6 months. Since 1991, suicides plus suicide attempts - but not the number of suicides alone - have slowly and significantly increased. The increase of passenger numbers of the Viennese subway, which have nearly doubled, and the decrease of the overall suicide numbers in Vienna (-40%) and Austria (-33%) since mid 1987 increase the plausibility of the hypothesis, that the Austrian media guidelines have had an impact on suicidal behavior.

I took his point to be that trauma doesn't determine outcome. Jews have been traumatized, but are successful. Thus the economic outcomes of other traumatized groups may be strongly influenced by factors other than trauma.
I work on GIS systems that enable organizations to be able to use the maps to spatially visualize their own data so their employees can do their jobs more effectively in the field everyday e.g. firefighters having all firehydrant locations on a ruggedized tablet when fighting fires, 911 dispatch operators use GIS, public utilities use it, government agencies uses it, non profits such as ecological conservation orgs use it. CDC to visualize epidemiology data, and scientists and universities use it to map data for studies and research.

It's very humbling tech with an amazing potential to do good and very developer friendly (they have been writing the code since the 60's) and my dev colleagues have been in this field for decades.

I just joined actually, any GIS nerds on HN care to share their experience and what they love/hate about GIS community/tech? Thanks!
The problem with this approach is that you're going to be fixing this "leaky pipe" forever. It also sets another precedent that if you make enough noise then our internet is going to be curated "for our own good".
It sounds only slightly better. In essence it's still about the government telling others that they know better than the person. This kind of thing is bound to get false positives. We also know that the government doesn't care about false positives, because I almost never see a politician address abuse from involuntary commitment.
If it works and does everything it needs to do, does it really need updating though?

Again, I have to underline that if the father or the family of that girl was well aware of what was going on in the messed up head of that girl, she would not have committed suicide, no matter Pinterest, no matter Instagram, no matter any goddamn social network. And if it's true that the border of online and IRL is getting more and more blurry, then again the most efficient solution has to be found in the education, scholarization, in the mindful usage of these tools and in taking the responsibilities from the bases. Yes, algorithms should be perfected but accusing them to be the cause of death of a fragile, insecure, mentally unstable adolescent is so utterly ridicule. And it is distracting from the real goddamn problem that is not "the evil algorithm" or "the evil company" but the ignorant, stupid parent that was so absent not to understand how sick he daughter was!! Oh, but my reasoning is harsh because it throws responsibilities in your faces, I know. Better demand. Better delude yourselves. Better think that the fault is "somewhere else" and let someone else take the fault. What pisses me the most is to see all those people agreeing with that bowl of shit that is wired...
This is perhaps the central point of contention in the CEO pay debate.

Let's take a scientific perspective of performance, ie using evidence to decide which hypotheses to believe.

If we have a situation that's repeatable, say in professional sports, we have a pretty useful basis for deciding who is better. For example a pro soccer player has his entire career recorded by the second. Every touch, tackle, sprint, shot, and so forth is recorded. On top of that the conditions are similar across matches: the point is to win. This is highly repeatable, noise can be removed by having many experiments.

What does a CEO do? Well they mostly do things that aren't replicable. If your company launches the iPhone, they aren't going to do it more than once. If they miss the boat, catching up is a different condition to leading. If the economic cycles turn, the CEO's time at the helm will certainly not last enough cycles to tell whether they are good at weathering such storms. In fact decisions that CEOs make tend to be rare and unrepeatable. Did Marissa Mayer have to be skilled to sell Yahoo? Well nobody else has been allowed to try, so we don't have a lot to compare with. Did she get a good price? Well she only did it once, so we don't know.

In fact it is a lot easier to ascertain that LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo are at the tops of their games than any CEO. Do they score a lot? Yes, and many other dudes have tried. Are they effective compared to opportunities? Yes, and the stats say so.

Coming back to the CEO vs man on the street, I get the feeling a lot of CEOs are quite replaceable. Their firm is in some business, and there's a few strategic decisions to make. If you have multiple parallel universes, it's possible the CEOs would make the best choice more than the man on the street. But you'd certainly find men on the street who'd also launch the iPhone if given the chance. Now consider people who are reasonably close to senior management but not yet there. Would they make similar decisions? They certainly cost less.

By contrast it is glaringly obvious when a man on the street tries to play a sport. It's even obvious when a pro who is less good tries to play against a superstar.

> Especially not from a user perspective, if you’re a social worker you now have to know how to use 5-10 complicated and error prone IT systems, on top of your regular job, and we just keep on adding more. I mean,those 5-10 systems are linked to their work on top of that there are another 5-10 adiministrative systems and maybe 50 different digital forms.

The workers are users of those IT systems, but not the end-users of the social services. Those workers' jobs shifted in nature. Their new work is to interact with numerous different IT systems to provide a social service. In the long term, all those workers are currently gathering data that will help to build a new digital social service which won't have those inefficiencies. They work toward the transition to a "better" digital world for the end-users of the social service.

> None of these systems are necessary mind you, 30 years ago, almost none of them existed and our social workers performed better for less money back then.

"better for less money" : According to what sources? What indicators?

> but from a user perspective things have mostly deteriorated.

Same questions, from the end-users perspective of the social services. What indicators are you using?

We could imagine providing a social service without human social workers at all, enabled by digitization, like in all other sectors.

In the past BMW model names were correlated to the chassis type & the engine inside. So 530d would mean it’s a 5 series chassis, with 3.0 liter diesel engine and so on. These days, AFAIK, that’s no longer the case and model numbers are a bit arbitrary
There's CPU bottleneck, but there's also intense GPU requirements for high settings in some scenarios. At least according to task manager GPU was loaded at 100%, so I suppose, it was GPU bottleneck.
I don't mean to be a weekend psychiatrist, but sending the girl who committed suicide pictures of hangings -- consistently -- seems unhealthy, or at least unethical to me. The father spoke about "helping to kill" his daughter, and the social media being "partly responsible". I agree with that phrasing: they're not wholly responsible, as much as I don't believe that everyone who plays shooter games becomes a real-life killer. But there seems a clear (to me, again, not a subject matter expert) that there is a correlation, and if you get your social media in front of a few billion people, the numbers add up and you can't just absolve yourself of all responsibility. We have to look after each other, take care of the weaker and more vulnerable.

Blockchain offer no satisfactory solutions to this, houses can change, people can lose access to identification, people can be evicted, people can make mistakes. The last thing I would want is to be evicted with (by design) no chance to get my house back because my computer got hacked.

I cannot understand how at the same time lots of people are worried about "superintelligent machines eating the world" and proposing to remove humans from all important decisions in our lives.

Well, in your case it's definitely a CPU bottleneck. In my case I just gradually increased settings and when I'm turning antialiasing to highest possible setting, my FPS drops a bit below 60 (to 50+) and GPU is loaded by 100% according to task manager, so I suppose that it was a GPU bottleneck. I'm playing with mostly ultra settings but not highest antialiasing, it provides 60 FPS for most single-player scenarios and GPU is loaded at 80-90%. Of course in raids and dungeons FPS might drop below 30 and that is CPU bottleneck indeed, can't do anything here. My friend recently bought 9900K and 2080 and experiencing FPS drops in raids, it's almost funny.

What I found off putting is they lie about what they are doing by claiming there are 'technical' reasons[1] it has to be that way. When other languages prove that's utter BS.

I'd have more respect if they just came out and said, this style cause hey we don't want conflicts over style and since our language our way or highway. And this feature is abused a lot in other languages (we think) so we omitted it.

[1] I hate that programmers habitually lie about technical issues, especially to management and others. Because those people are as dumb as programmers think. It's why your non technical manager doesn't trust you.
Strong disagree. Doing all the work is not leading by example. Leading by Example would be handling the first emergency with a more junior engineer following along, or doing a write up of how you handled it and then asking someone else to handle next time.

Not leading by example would be expecting your reports to deal with shit that you don't know how to and getting annoyed when they can't.
> she would not have committed suicide

You don't know anything about suicide. It's okay to be ignorant about a topic. It's less okay to be so ignorant while giving such stong opinions.

People die by suicide. For some of them the family all knew the person was suicidal and were powerless to prevent the death. For others nobody knew the person was suicidal, and we don't know if the death could have been prevented.

For the case talked about it's likely that the culture of self harm prevented her from seeking help. She was accesing content that gave advice about hiding self harm from others, and about the futility of mental health treatment.
This is true, but it misses a very important problem.

Super exec might increase profits by more than normal exec, sure. How are you going to identify them? There's actually no way. All the ordinary selection criteria cannot be sensitive enough to sort the wheat from the chaff. Prior experience? They probably only had the job once. Recommendations? Passing the buck. Whiteboarding? LOL.

Chances are you will end up randomly picking out of a group that's mixed super and normal, and chances are you will end up with normal.

If you pay for super you will almost surely be overpaying.

This is definitely a free speech/democracy issue.
Why nobody discusses the facts instead:

- no vaccine was/is ever tested against inert placebo in clinical trial. How the hell can we let manufacturers get away with this?

- majority of (media) cited epidemiological studies around safety are just (very) bad

- so as a result we have here following situation: people claiming to be injured (also killed) by untested and massively deployed product (that also saves lives, yes) and we have no data to calculate the benefit/risk ratio. Instead we just vilify them.

I can understand how/why (majority of) scientific community maintains the old reductionist paradigm. But how this can stay out of scope of investigative media is beyond me.
(edit: formatting/grammar)
The survey data in the past showed that most people on the blog didn't use the subreddit. I don't know why we shouldn't assume that the converse isn't true as well.

IIRC the last survey also had an option for "yes, I know about that thread and stay the hell away from it for the love of god" (okay, the actual option was less extreme than that, but I would have picked my more colorful version if it had been offered and I think many people I know who read SSC would have also). I'm surprised to see that not mentioned in the discussion of those statistics.

Unfortunately with this post the possibility to neutrally poll his readership for their own opinions on that thread more directly is probably forever lost now. Any poll now on the subject would be read by too many users as a question on supporting/opposing harassment campaigns or the tenuous link to deplatforming.

Bigger raises.

The largest users of cloud VMs are internal customers - cloud services and the business that the cloud providers spun out of. If ARM is cheaper to run, the savings for Amazon/AWS could be astronomical. That will generate more than enough internal customer demand to make offering ARM servers worthwhile.
I was thinking recently about why I find programming languages so interesting. The answer I came up with was that programming languages allow you to create your own reality. You get to define how things work in this reality. Want functions to be values that can be arguments and return values? Sure! Want a lot of crazy symbols to do complicated math? Go for it! Want everything to be dynamic? Why not.

The caveat that comes with this description is that sometimes people shouldn't create their own reality. Whether it's making decisions that ultimately lead to really screwy universes or just not being prepared to deal with the power that comes with changing the very fabric of reality, some people will not mesh well with LOP. And there's nothing wrong with that.
At least they don't explode like these ones.
