No it really didn't. I think I mentioned here elsewhere in a comment but I use an Intel Core-i7 6700 "non K": so the version that is not meant to be overclocked and which Intel rates as having a max TDP of 65W. And this would be with the four cores running. I don't know the TDP / power consumption when it's turbo-boosting at 3.9 or 4.0 Ghz (when one or two cores are at full speed on the 6700, it goes from 3.4 to 3.9 or 4.0 on these cores).

Basically I like my workstation to be quiet. Really very quiet: as in I can only hear it if I put my ear on the tower. So I never have ultra power hungry CPUs. I don't game so no GPU besides the integrated one. A M.2 SSD which consumes next to nothing.

Power bill probably did increase a bit but honestly it was lost in the noise: I definitely didn't notice anything : )
I've never heard of a termination based on individual performance being called a layoff. In fact, I'm fairly certain it's defined as a termination due to factors outside the employee's control. A layoff is when the position itself no longer exists due to downsizing, restructuring, etc.

Being terminated due to poor performance or a bad fit is not a layoff, by any standard I've heard of, and some brief googling seems to support that. Terminating an employee for being a bad fit and calling it a layoff would almost certainly invite legal action.

But I'm no lawyer, so if you've got a source backing up the claim, I'd love to see it and be enlightened.

Please reconsider the real names policy, it is perfectly appropriate to keep my legal name separate from what I write online, and I don't even live in a country where I can be arrested for my opinions.

I would much rather see a 'durable identity' process, whereby when someone sees my username as an author, they know it was authored by me. This goes beyond allowing or not allowing duplicate screennames (where you swap an I for l and impersonate a politician etc) -- consider authenticating edits and transactions with public key cryptography so I can assert my identity -- just not necessarily the one I can't change.

keybase.io is, of course, an innovator in this space and you should consider adopting their strategy for asserting identity online !

You can still make it a pain in the ass to create multiple accounts without asking for a government ID (which can be faked too, by the way!). ban multiple log-ins from single IP, have a phone number challenge, put a waiting period on the account, nothing is perfect but all of this is better than having to use my real name.

I had a similar realization a couple of years back when I stopped using Facebook.

After mostly using Reddit for a while I realized that Facebook wasn't designed for having actual conversations or expressing yourself.

So for example, unlike sites like Reddit or HN, you can't downvote on Facebook. Downvoting is crucial so that the community can curate the content. Facebook (or Twitter) doesn't want you doing that. They just want as much content as possible and only care about likes/upvotes to trigger dopamine bursts. "Jane has liked your photo!!!" In anonymous sites people will just downvote you and tell you why you are wrong without mercy.

Another example. In Reddit and HN you have enough space for having actual conversations. In Facebook not only the space for comments is extremely small, but it's very difficult to know how are comments related to each other. After a couple of replies the UI stops making any sense. You don't know who is replying to who, etc. In practice, Facebook comments end up encouraging people leaving reactions to some content the user posted instead of being a place for discussion. Again, to trigger that dopamine burst when someone says something in the photo you just posted.

Of course, the objective of all this behavior shaping is to get more user engagement so that they spend more time in the platform and consume more ads.

I love reading these older papers, because since there wasn't a whole lot of prior implicit understanding of computer-science, they're a lot easier to read for a wannabe-intellectual like myself (someone who loves the academic world but who isn't smart enough to actually be an academic).

They also seem to have blocked the archive.is and outline.com paywall bypasses.

That's definitely part of what I'm driving at. I didn't mean to blame individual teachers, and on re-reading that should have been clearer. If I were to distill this to a thesis, I'd go with:

"Education, particularly in literature, is seriously worsened by structural limitations teachers can't control."

Standardized tests are a big part of that, and I do think "analyze this book in detail without access to the text" is a singularly useless task that actively rewards shallow thought. Multiple choice analysis questions are another problem, especially "what did the author intend by this passage" questions which set people up to totally misunderstand 'death of the author' later. Less directly, test questions like "compare and contrast the handling of death in two novels" put teachers under pressure to cover laundry lists of themes so that their classes will have something relevant to write about - which gets in the way of any other kind of focused study, like reading theory or following one author across multiple works.

But standardized tests aren't the only structural pressures which crop up regularly. I mentioned consistent homework and daily class periods - discussing "yesterday's reading" for a book like 1984 is a ridiculous approach, but there's relatively little room for finishing and then discussing books, or choosing a few key check-ins mid-book. (And these problems all tie together: with more time for theory, you might do that in class while reading at night. With better cross-class organization, you might offer lots of reading some nights while shorting other classes, then no reading on other nights.) Short grading periods and always-visible Blackboard grades drive time-wasting assignments; I've heard plenty of teachers say that they gave out tasks just to have baseline grades for the first interim report. The lack of block scheduling means every class is effectively <35 minutes, making it hard to show films or discuss serious themes without numerous interruptions.

I could go on at enormous length, but that's the gist. For all that schools demand cutting-edge educational practices (which are often bunk), testing and organizational demands leave teachers with worse learning arrangements than your average book club.

One of the most important things to understand about depression and suicide is that those who are in the middle of it are in an altered state of mind. They are locked into thought patterns that are self-reinforcing and prevent rational understanding. A person who is depressed and suicidal is literally unfit for making such decisions about their life.
When the suicidal thoughts and depressed state abate, it's as if the person is suddenly a different person, of a different mind. Problems that once seemed insurmountable are no longer so. Positive things that seemed irrelevant or invisible before are suddenly there again and meaningful. It doesn't mean that all of one's problems go away or don't matter; it means that life seems livable again--and the only thing that has changed is one's thought patterns.

It's almost like the mind is drunk on despair. And just like a drunk person is unfit to drive a car, a person who is "drunk on despair"--depressed and suicidal--is unfit to "drive" their own life.

If you recognize that you are in a state of mind like this, you must use whatever rational part of your mind that remains to reject all of the thoughts and impulses of the despairing part. Don't give the drunk the keys to the car; he will kill not only himself, but likely harm many others as well. And don't ignore him, because he'll probably get drunk again tomorrow and want the keys again. Go, take him to get help, now, while you can.

There are people whose entire life's work is to help people in need like this. Let them help you.

> I had a positive take-away from it as well, which is that a large percentage of people who experience a failed suicide attempt are glad they failed.

I watched the film during a time in my life when I was very depressed. I noticed that the data they used to draw this conclusion was something like a survey of how many people had reattempted suicide. Prevention techniques were considered a success if the person ultimately did not kill themself.

On the flip side, I seem to remember one woman who noted a paradox that sometimes when people are treated and start to feel better, that's when they find the motivation to actually carry out a suicide plan. As I recall she sort of calls into question whether the treatment is actually a good idea if it will lead to that outcome.

What I noticed (and felt quite bitter about at the time) is that everyone seemed to be focused almost entirely on their own goals (avoiding the anguish of their loved one dying) and somewhat oblivious to the goals of their suffering friend or family member (escaping the anguish they likely feel all or most of the time).

The metric for success should be not "did this person ultimately avoid dying" but "did this person find a way to keep living without being in misery?" To show that you need to know more than just whether the person died or not.
> That's not what "theoretically impossible" means.

Sure it is, if the hypothetical is pointing out a constraint on the boundaries of theoretical impossibility (or, in theory, if the hypothetical is itself possible to describe but theoretically impossible because of physical limits, though that doesn't appear to be the case here; there might be a theoretical lower limit on the size of a transmitter of the require power output or the supporting power system, but in theory there is no limit to the size of a satellite except the bound at which it becomes the primary because it's larger than the thing it is supposed to orbit.)

A careful examination of the thread will find that no such question was previously raised.

> 10,000 images collected from leading clinical centers internationally

Lets say the data was collected from 5 different clinical centers. One risk is basically that when you deploy the model, it only works at those clinical centers due to idiosyncrasies specific to those centers. Or suppose certain doctors were more likely to take melanoma images, and certain doctors were more likely to take non-melanoma images, and both sets of doctors used different techniques to take images. These are just some ideas, there could be any number of confounding factors.

Basically, one should be default suspicious of most research papers working with small datasets (the test set is only 100 images - this is very small) that have not been deployed in the real world or otherwise validated independently. The root comment of this thread is basically saying this (a different comment is the one calling the researchers idiots).

ArsTechnica brings them up in their review: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/04/valve-index-reveal-th...

> The result is a wider peripheral distribution by default, but the system also allows Valve to implement a new type of slider. Valve insists that no matter what face shape or pair of glasses you bring into the Index, you can turn an "eye relief" knob to bring the Index's lenses as close to your face as comfortably possible, and the device does so in a way that guarantees a greater effective FOV. After describing most FOV sales pitches as "dishonest" due to many users' faces or glasses obstructing that full FOV potential, Valve insists that its eye relief knob will guarantee a "20 degree" increase in FOV for all users compared to traditional "110-degree" systems. (This works in tandem with a standard interpupillary distance slider, or IPD, found in most VR headsets.)

It's a "Valve insists" rather than a confirmation based on their experience, but they make sound like it's more glasses-friendly than previous headsets. Odd that Valve's own site doesn't mention it.

--begin quote--

OBJECTIVE: Evidence suggests that there is an increase in the suicide rate following incidents of celebrity suicide in different countries, but there are no data on the overall suicide risk across countries. The duration of increased suicide rates is usually assumed to be on a monthly basis, but the weekly increase remains uncertain. This study aims at estimating the risk for suicide after the suicide deaths of entertainment celebrities in Asia during the first 4 weeks after the celebrity suicides and on a weekly basis.

METHOD: An ecological, retrospective time-series analysis and a meta-analysis of the suicide deaths in 3 Asian regions: Hong Kong (from 2001 to 2003), Taiwan, and South Korea (both from 2003 to 2005).

RESULTS: The combined risks for suicide were found to be 1.43 (95% CI = 1.23 to 1.66), 1.29 (95% CI = 1.12 to 1.50), and 1.25 (95% CI = 1.08 to 1.45) in the first, second, and third week, respectively, after suicides of entertainment celebrities, while adjusting for secular trends, seasonality, economic situation, and temporal autocorrelation. The same-gender and same-method specific increases suggest that as people identify more with the celebrity, their risk for suicide rises. A medium-term rise in suicides up to 24 weeks after the incidents of celebrity suicide is also evident.

CONCLUSION: This study is the first to estimate risk for suicides following celebrity suicides across 3 Asian regions. The results provide important information for public health policy makers in assessing the elevated risk associated with excessive media coverage of celebrity suicide and developing timely evidence-based interventions.

"Apple no longer reports iPhone, iPad, and Mac unit sales numbers..."

Probably because they only care about revenue and profits these days, not innovation and products. Apple didn't get to where they are by optimizing the supply chain but by coming up with incredible products that everyone HAD to have. I bought an iPhone last spring because it was the least-bad option in my opinion; if the Librem 5 is a flop I don't know what I'll get when my current phone dies because I will NOT buy a phone that unlocks by FaceID.
I think the more accurate reason is women carry purses because of the lack of pockets, and since most women have purses, you don't need to put pockets in your clothing. It also used to be scandalous for women to wear pants vs a skirt or a dress, which doesn't lend itself to pockets.

And aesthetically, a pocket stuffed with things, especially in more form fitting clothing, doesn't look good.

Be REALLY careful when you look at these “FBI FOILED PLOT” stories. It’s typically some lunatic they approached, and then sold fake materials to. They are experts at staying JUST on the right side of the entrapment line, legally speaking.

There is a well known sentiment that the craziest guy you’ll find if you are looking for trouble is the FBI agent.

There are documented instances of FBI agents selling fake bombs or drugs to CIA or DEA guys or vice versa.

It’s works for them because they get to pay themselves on the back for stopping the guy they helped radicalize who never would have had means on his own.
