The first talk therapies with any empirical validation are recent inventions. So are the first (relatively) effective and safe psychiatric drugs.

Mental health services in the "good old days" were shrouded in a thick fog of Freudian bullshit and couldn't do much for really troubled patients besides keep them warehoused and docile. Before that, they didn't really exist at all.

The feeling of a collective mental breakdown has been in the public consciousness since at least WWII. The loss of meaning and religious faith after such large-scale horror and the response in postmodern aesthetics and philosophy, the isolation beneath the surface-level perfection of the new suburbs, the invention of mass market consumerism, the constant threat of nuclear annihilation, struggle and upheaval around gender/sexuality/race, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War and Nixon-era loss of faith in institutions, stagflation, you name it.

AFAIK there’s no self hosted equivalent. Ive been using it for years. Whenever I put a link in my docs / notes I use that site to cache a copy as well.

When I first signed up I wrote a script to convert my bookmarks to a text list so I could import them. Around 25% of the pages I’d bookmarked were gone.
Tracking someone for marketing should be illegal.
Sounds like you're using it wrong. The autoformatter is for the whole repo, not for individual contributors. The point is that the whole repo has the same style, so you should only ever get diffs on the lines that were changed or the first time you run the autoformatter on the repo (and then you shouldn't be making manual changes that will be hidden amid the autoformatter noise).

>When through the normal course of using a technology you reveal information to the government (in this case the military) they can use that information against you.

That’s not the legal standard for searches and seizures under the 4th amendment.

It’s about the reasonable expectation of privacy, and when a defense attorney emails their client the client has a reasonable expectation of privacy. A reasonable person doesn’t think the prosecutor has embedded tracking into emails sent to their attorney which will relay information back to the prosecutor when shared forwarded to the client by the defense attorney.
Ideally we should also skip or go easy on the best tasting food. Oh well..
I don't care. In fact, I prefer it this way. Death in species is an evolutionary advantage. So too with culture. We mustn't let it ossify.

For the whitewashing thing, it will happen anyway. Only vigilance can protect against rewriting. Websites can be altered. There is no provenance.

I'm not convinced infinite recall is useful.
Of course they are. They're incentivized to make money, not pay it out. I'm completely baffled that people would rather this system than a universal healthcare system simply because they don't want a poor person to have insurance because they're "not pulling their weight". And that's the reason. "Hard working, red blooded Amerikans don't need anything taken away from them by them poor folk that don't wanna work!". ugh.
Slight nit-pick, but matrix multiplication is not exclusively a contraction, but rather a contraction on the tensor product of the two matrices. See the next paragraph for why this is concerning.

I find this notation great for simple applications, but potentially unwieldy for dim > 2. For instance, how would I represent the tensor (or outer) product of two matrices? the inputs would be two circles with two lines attached to each, the result would need to be a single circle with four lines attached. The natural attempt would be something like:

a - o -
/ /
| /
\ |
ab ---o---
| \
/ |
/ /
b - o -

But I suspect the above diagram isn't correct because there are no "open" indices at the end of this. Rather, this diagram seems to represent the contraction of a 4D tensor with 2, 2D tensors.

It seems we we would need a way of connecting circles without implying a contraction of a particular index.

Anyone know how to annotate the outer product of two matrices in this diagrammatic convention?
I agree with you that for any given $20, it's probably more effective to give it directly to an outreach program. But this doesn't scale. Consider a charity that wants to build housing for the homeless. Well now they need to buy property. But now they need a holding company or some business structure to legally own that property. That holding's company has fees for bank accounts, po boxes, people to check the po boxes, etc. Now the business decisions matter: how to structure that investment to minimize tax or properly insure it. Then you need to build on that property. That requires permits to be filed, and construction plans to be drafted. now you need educated business people to manage this. Those people don't work for free. So now you're paying salaries. So now you need to manage that situation. Who do those people report to, how much do they get paid, etc. Now you have a corporate structure (and significant overhead).

My solution is to introduce salary caps. So that NGO's cannot compensate any employee more than some modest amount. Bonus if the state or local gov could give people tax breaks (fed would never go for this) for working on an NGO. So, say a lawyer or accountant could take a few months off their high-stress, white-collar job and work for an NGO for part of the year, make enough for rent, reduce their tax bill, reduce their stress levels for a while, and help the community, then go back to "real" work.
Yeah, I'd be interested in knowing this too. Seems unlikely that a niche topic would generate so many human views in a short period of time. I do CMS management for a national nonprofit website with a few million hits each month, and 30k views for a single article with no promotion strategy seems...unlikely.

Our Google Analytics filters out bots and crawlers, which do significantly inflate pageview stats.
I've never heard of this product before, but it definitely does sound interesting. I know exactly how hard it is to get a small / medium sized company to switch to a new product, its definitely not easy.

That aside, I wish Slack was more customizable (or open to allowing some customization) that would enable it to function more like what Derrick was trying to accomplish with Level. That would be the best of both worlds.
Overhead luggage provides relatively high space efficiency in space that can't really be used for much else. I'm also not sold that idealized deplaning with overhead luggage would be any slower than deplaning with idealized bag retrieval.

Oh, that was fascinating. I've never seen Tesla Autopilot in action before. It's ... really, really underwhelming. I wouldn't ever take my hands off the wheel.
Tangentially related, but the reader view of a page seems ideally suited for archival bookmarking. It's unfortunate that so many sites seem to be intentionally breaking the reader view functionality in order to maximize newsletter subscriptions and eyeball monetization. Recipe sites are the worst offenders IMO.
The average person with a $10/month budget in 1997 (let's ignore inflation for now) is buying maybe 8-10 CDs a year. They're absolutely not long-tail discovering new stuff. They're buying what they hear on the radio.

It's basically an indefensible position that we're not discovering more and paying for more 'long tail' type media in the digital streaming era.
How rigorous? Helpful suggestions are determined by the level/depth you want to go or by what you'd like to accomplish.
I think you're comparing apples and oranges here, and leaving out details. He says the entrepreneurs as risk takers are important, because they are doing something that benefits the economy if they win and don't really impact anything but themselves if they lose.

That's completely different from what he's talking about in the second half, which is the focus on financial markets. He's advising that people who don't know how to hedge themselves should stay out of the financial markets. He didn't specifically say it, but I think the rationale for that perspective is that the risk taking in the financial markets takes a very different form than the risk that an entrepreneur faces; the risk taking in financial markets can fail spectacularly and cause a lot more problems than bankrupting a single person. The best example is the LTCM crisis, where a single company's failure was so impactful and sudden that it threatened destabilizing the entire market.
As a European all the complaints In this thread sound completely foreign. Whenever I fly, the stewards just help those who can’t find space at their seat with their bags. It’s never an issue.
I recently picked up a book I'm reading by S.J. Gould. I read a sentence with the normal level of attention I'd use to read a Reddit comment or something similar and it seemed like the sentence was total nonsense.

Then I slowly re-read the sentence with more focus and it made total sense. That's when I realized I have been become accustomed to reading "shallow" content, content that doesn't require any work to understand. Both Reddit and S.J. Gould are technically "consumption" but I think they're qualitatively different kinds of consumption.
Why not play a DRM-free audio file (Opus, while having lossless FLAC backed up) instead of an obsolete CD?

I don't use renting services for music, but I don't buy CDs either (unless it's the only way to buy it). I buy audio files. The benefit of CDs though is also getting the lossless version, when digital one sold is lossy only. Other than that - I don't see the point.
In theory yes, but the grandparent just gave an example of where they don't like what it did to code. Could easily be someone else's.
Certain policy decisions matter on a larger scale. Killing off millions of people has to have some meaning on future abilities, right?

I think that generally I agree with you, but I would tend to say you have a small (but >0) number of things that would have huge long term ripples.
They had to train the various pruned nets 15+ times each to know the cutoff to be a success...

Also what is a strong subnetwork? What we get to know it's that their pruning algorithm produces a network that is vulnerable to weight randomization but better performing with original weights.
If there is a better pruning algorithm, it could tell us more about structure of such subnetworks.
I have what I consider to be a reasonable expectation of privacy not to have 3rd party tracking pixels embedded in websites I visit via a secure connection on the internet.
"The gist is that it’s tough to get unbiased feedback during customer validation." - I wish this was taught along with lean startup content. Too many times I have heard founders say they validated the idea when all they have done is gotten biased feedback while asking self-fulfilling questions.
I recently moved to Canada from the US, and there's stores here that do the coin-deposit for shopping carts--and have folks bag their own groceries. I know the latter would save money, but the former makes sense, too--labor costs are higher, there's liability, and honestly, having wayward carts about the parking lot makes it look a bit unkempt. I bet there's folks who'd gladly pay a quarter--or more--just to have a decent cart that hasn't been beaten by cars and rain.
>“He was instructed that the embedded image contained a cyber-tool known as a ‘splunk’ tool,’ which can allow the originator full access to his computer, and all the files on the computer,”

It seems the journalist here believes some tool much more powerful than a tracking pixel may have been used. I've never heard of a "splunk tool" and frankly it seems like BS, but if the journalist believes this then the tone of the article is explained.
I'm not looking for an "excellent" standard. I'm looking for something that isn't a complete outlier.

I feel like in every one of these formatter discussions people are waiting to pounce on anyone who takes issue with the formatting. I'm totally down with formatting: prettier, dart_style, rustfmt, gofmt, uncrustify, I use and love them all both professionally and personally (well, gofmt is bad at wrapping but the language is bad at wrapping in general). But in all these cases, these tools are either configurable or they set a standard for how to format code for $lang. Black does neither, which is fine, but its options then are "pick a common convention" or "pick an uncommon convention". All I'm saying is that I wish it had done the former.
> Government can with the stroke of a pen decide to fully fund any program.

This is largely true.

Notice how easily our government, "with the stroke of a pen", can fully fund state-sanctioned violence and institutions of violence.

And we the people have no problem with this; some of us even cheer it on; some encourage their sons and daughters to join up to these institutions of violence. Others shake the hands of those who already are a part of it, and say "thank you for your service" - in almost reverent fashion.

I'm not saying we don't need these people or those institutions - they do serve a needed purpose - but let's not pretend that need is anything but ultimately for terrible violence.

Yet - we and our government somehow has a problem fully funding things like healthcare, education, infrastructure, and a whole host of other programs, which again could be easily done, "with the stroke of a pen". But we'll hem and haw on that all day long...

...our teachers will never be thanked "for their service" in reverent fashion.

Unless of course they were veterans of those institutions of violence.
No: he does not say that statistics are useless. He says that the assumption of normality does not hold in real life: fat tails and the absence of means are ubiquitous. That is all the “black swan” means and how he got rich: taking risks which are nonsense under normal distributions but not so under, for instance, the Cauchy distribution.

One of the reasons for the replication crisis in science is the lack of more people like Taleb who are not afraid to say "this study is bullshit" instead of being ultra-polite and never daring to put into doubt the integrity of the authors (p-hacking, data falsification, ...)

I've read quite a number of blog posts about scientists who were certain a paper was p-hacked (and proven right later) but who said they would never dare raise their voice publicly because it would kill their career.
I am a huge fan of Aldi, and it is my preffered grocery store when I actually go in person.

However, I do my shopping at Walmart, who offers similar prices with online order and free pickup. This convenience is worth the small price differences, and I usually purchase the generic brands at Walmart which are very competitively priced.
Do you realize how easy it is to set up a facebook page, wordpress or blogger blog? Tons of non-technical people have done and continue to do this. This isn't about your average HN reader but the general public and they're competent enough to do these things by themselves, which has already been proven.
Yes, computer scientists tend to! I'm always a little surprised when supposed robotics researchers and philosophers of mind insist that, for instance, control theory poses an alternative to talking about the nervous system performing computations. What do they think optimal control algorithms do?
Trademarks can control this while remaining open source. If you ship an official package it's Firefox™ but if you ship a hacked-up version it's Iceweasel. Of course everyone will tell you you're evil if you try to do this.
I am sure that people are still super psyched to work at FAIR and Oculus, but those teams are quite small and AFAIK don't hire using the standard FB SDE hiring process.
Both come from the Compaq/HP chimera that absorbed DEC's name. The apple doesn't fall far from the other apple from the same tree.
Whilst the term was usurped by Nazi Germany, it predated it and for many - would not associate it with Nazi Germany in any way and be oblivious of it's usage until reading this.

Should we abandoned long standing words that have been usurped by evil people, or be reclaiming them. For me, with this I'm with the later.
Working at Big Tech Companies Can Be a Trap [video]
> Sanitizers ... do not bring the safety to production, since you probably do not want to use sanitizers in production or release

My team runs ASAN in production. We run lots of servers, and we have load balancing that keeps CPU utilization equal across servers. ASAN binaries are slower (maybe 1/2 throughput / 2X "local" cpu-bound latency?) but not so much slower that running it on a small fraction of our servers means we can't meet our SLO. And it's been a huge help to us. Once in a while, we have some segfault that's pretty mysterious otherwise, as the stack trace where memory corruption is discovered can be totally unrelated to the stack trace where the problem was caused. If it happens on the ASAN servers, the root cause is instantly obvious.

TSAN is more problematic to run in production; it's a _lot_ slower.
US Air Force deploys missiles that can fry weapons with microwaves
You could try reading a torts book. Since nobody but lawyers ever wants to do what you describe, the only books that get written are for law students and professionals. Learning it halfway isn't actually very useful. No-one wants to hear outsider perspectives on cases, they are pretty much never good, so nobody wants to create a hive of lay-yers ready to go spreading their terrible takes by giving them a book of handy hints. Case in point: most HN legal discussions. Call me elitist but truly we are blessed that more people don't try their hand.

A big problem is that your natural tendency to gloss over details has to be beaten out of you, mercilessly, before anyone will trust you to make an argumentative summary. You won't make much progress with the attitude that you can just learn general principles and be slightly better at reading; you have to get comfortable diving right down to details and coming up for air later.

Torts books are good because they start with the creation of torts and build, they don't have to assume too much knowledge. And the judges are often unbound by technicalities for the same reason. Hence 1L students can read them. You'll get a great impression of what it means for judges to create law. Downside: there are no new important torts cases popping up that you'd want to read.
Speed bumps: interesting, I never thought of that so far.

Potentially quite difficult to detect them if the car doesn't have them marked in its GPS-map, or?
In order for it to violate your privacy, it needs to take some kind of data from you that is considered private. What data is a tracking pixel taking from you?

The only thing a tracking pixel "takes" is the address of the computer that downloaded it and the time it was downloaded. None of that is your private information.

> If it was at all possible wouldn’t Tesla have hit at least that milestone by now?

What? Because Elon wasn't able to achieve a milestone you consider it not possible at all? That's just absurd.

> Still a long way from full autonomous driving.

Yeah, still a long way from full autonomous driving, but having that training data make it that much closer. Theses cars have driven more miles than they ever could on test roads in a century.
On realistic workload (branchy C++ server code, not SPEC and the other crap that Phoronuts like to report) the AMD CPUs are 50% slower ... Intel could pile on the mitigations and still be way ahead. The reason these mitigations cost Intel so much is because they have these speculation features and AMD just didn't ever have them. At least with the Intel parts you can decide for yourself whether to enable or disable them.
No, we can't. My (and, by the sound of it, CrLf's) favorite format relies on information that your pre-commit hook has artificially removed from the code. Eg:

munge(gidget,
thing1,thing2,thing3);
cmplt(dtypeA,valueA,
dtypeB,valueB);

(Most cases are more subtle (and thus less amenable to "oh, you just need to build a complete static type checker into the formatter") than this, but I wanted an obvious example.)
Vote out the city officials then.
...and, it's gone. Guy deleted his reddit account as well. Tl;dr he billed three companies for the time spent on take-home assignments, with his normal hourly rate. Two of three companies paid, around $8,000 total, and one of them hired him fulltime.
> I believe the previous solution was to err on the side of allowing 24-hour involuntary psychiatric holds, with observation by a neutral doctor, and taking abuses of that extremely seriously.

We have a history of using this policy in multiple countries, and in each one the system was abused to torment and commit minorities, people (including children) who were deemed an inconvenience, and political enemies.

I say this as someone with a family member who went through a very similar experience as your friend. I know just how scary and frustrating it is, and the immense burden of care and worrying it puts on people who care about someone going through mental breakdown like that.

I wish there was a solution to this problem, but I don't know what it would look like.
Check out Beaker Browser. Solves this problem on the protocol level and bookmarking automatically stores a copy.
Eh. With proper care and a well-configured turntable, records can last a long time. And you can always buy a new one.

Famous last words.
State run will be cheap and I'll tell you right now that cheap mental hospitals are not high value.
They are prison lite™.

It probably makes sense financially though.

I don't want to pay any premiums to help out people with asthma, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, birth defects, and so on if we are going to do this though.
Yes, but the effort to go through and scrub that much data to ensure only the ideas you want out are getting out would be massive. Seems easier to just shut the door and board up the room than to try and clean it.
Erm...I don't think Game of Thrones is what the OP is talking about. You're talking about entertainment, and GP is talking about "information" in the context that "Humanity as a whole benefits from free access to it". Is humanity benefiting from watching actors enact stage combat scenes with makeup and costumes?
