Things changed once someone pointed out to me that almost everyone has problems of similar or greater magnitude as mine, but most of them are not sad/unhappy/depressed.

Well, OK - that realization didn't make my problems go away, but it did set me down a path.

As others have already said, the role of a therapist isn't to solve those problems you have in your life. They might be able to help you not get mentally affected by those problems, though.

When I found out my insurance included therapy, I said "Heck, why not?" Had only 3 sessions with him. The outcome?

I learned that my problems are not severe enough to warrant serious therapy (based on a heuristic they use). That's not to say I shouldn't feel bad about them or anything, but to highlight that yes, people have ups and downs, and I may have just a few more downs than the median, but I'm not far from the median.

The problems I was dealing with had solutions. He outlined a few options to me and recommended some books. I picked one of the options and started reading those books (frankly, I was interested in the topic anyway).

Knowing that my problems were ultimately due to the lack of a few (learnable) skills makes a big difference. And now I can see people around me who have similar issues - some who think they've got serious psychological problems - and their internal mental torment is rather sad.

Agree with what others have said: Plenty of crappy therapists out there. I seem to have been lucky with mine.

As I understand the WA Price position, it is not evolution. It is essentially symptoms of a form of poor and/or malnutrition.

No, there is a vast difference in tactics between rebels and terrorists. Rebels may use terrorism, terrorists may be rebels, but the two are not synonyms.
I think if you're a true hobbyist, the Raspberry Pi is the path of least resistance. I've done projects with both the RPI and the Beaglebone Black.

RPi is very aimed at taking some sort of existing project and modifying it, which sounds mean to say but actually lets you do some very powerful things. The average RPi user will never be compiling device tree overlays, screwing around with the bootloader, busting out the datasheet for the processor, etc. You find some project that is kind of like the one you want to do, use their hardware and low-level settings (involving device tree overlays, but so abstracted that you will never encounter that term), and then go to town on the software, probably written in something like Python.

The Beaglebone is more like a dev board for TI's SoC. You will configure every pin exactly as you want it with a device tree overlay. You will be reading the datasheet to figure out exactly how many CPU cycles a certain instruction takes on the PRU. The amount of power you have over IO and hooking them into Linux is infinite. As an example, you can control the clock signal for the entire board through an IO pin. If you are doing realtime processing and want to make something happen in the Beaglebone PRU at the exact same time as some external hardware, you have the power to make that happen. Most people do not need this.

The TLDR is that I would use the RPi for pretty much any "maker" project because it's so easy to get things working, but would use this new Beaglebone for something like a CNC machine. If you're making a CNC machine, you need a microcontroller to stop the motor instantly when it drives into the endstop (even if Linux is currently processing your mouse movement or a network packet), you need a realtime microcontroller to properly move the axes in unison (so you can cut a circle at your exact feedrate), and you need Linux to drive a monitor with the controls on it. This new board puts all the processing power you need on the same board, and has all the kernel hooks you need to communicate between your non-realtime Linux software and the microcontrollers. (It's been a couple years since I've used the PRUs, but they show up as a "remote CPU" under Linux and have APIs for bidirectional message passing, which is potentially more powerful than a serial port interface to an Arduino that does the realtime stuff.)

You can of course just plug an Arduino into a USB port to get the same effect... this is how pretty much every 3D printer ever works. I literally have this exact setup on my 3D printer; an RPi that controls my 3D printer over USB -- the RPi hosts a web interface, the microcontroller handles the realtime motor moves. If you are manufacturing something like this, having everything on one board will probably lower your costs. That is why the Beaglebone exists.

(What this has to do with AI? I don't know. Maybe it's for pick-and-place machines that need realtime motor moves and some computer vision.)
My experience is quite different. I am experiencing a 500 error on every push to the container registry in my project, I contacted GitLab support over two weeks ago, and the person has clearly no idea how to debug this (and seems very unfamiliar with GitLab, for example couldn't find the web page for my container registry from my Docker image name, e.g. registry.gitlab.com/my/project -> gitlab.com/my/project/container_registry). Very disappointed.
While skeptism is always healthy, a lot of the flack Amazon is getting seems pretty legit.

Competitors might be piling in it and pushing it under the spotlight、even exaggerate parts of it, but of lot of Amazon’s operations is still provably shitty.

For instance what part of the warehouse working condition do you think is completely fabricated ?
That's kind of my point, the concept of "traitor" for Snowden only exists in the us-vs-them view, which is even more radically anti-government than the moderate view. So this makes it very ironic when government officials advocate for the radical anti-government view unknowingly.

Ask HN: Do you store permissions in a JWT?
If you store your permissions in your JWT, how do you handle changing permissions?

Is the overhead of a database query for permissions worth the security gain of instantly able to change permissions? (IE use JWT for authentication, check permissions for authorization on each request)

What is the general consensus these days on handling permissions WRT JWTs?
It's absolutely illegible.
I am informed that "History is written by the victor" is bad historical thinking, one that people should not use in their arguments. Presently, the past is constantly interpreted by people, 'winners' and 'losers', historians with expertise, and folks with an axe to grind.

Well they kinda did. They released it on the Satellaview:

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

Unfortunately, said game never got released anywhere else, meaning the one time we got a 16-bit version of the original Zelda game, it was on a Japan only service that's long been discontinued.
It's sort of the reverse: they can't know, from a bare commit ID, what repo it "belongs" to without searching backward from every tag or branch in the repo. (Even that question is malformed: repos have histories and may have contained commits in the past that are no longer ancestors of existing branches or tags).

So they just fake it: they look in their database to find any commit with that SHA and put it up. And that database happens (for obvious performance reasons) to be shared between a repo and its forks.

10k for a new car is possible but you are quite limited. I am not even sure that Volkswagen has a single car under that price point, except maybe for end-of-life entry-level models.

Dacia prices start at 8k, and their cars are decent, but they are comparatively old tech. It means they won't get the latest advances regarding fuel economy and the low price is partly offset by higher fuel costs.

All in all, expect to pay around 15k for a no-thrills new car.

Obviously, used cars are cheaper but that's apple to oranges comparison. We don't know how much the ID.3 will cost used, so it's pointless.

As a recovering marketer I take no offense to that statement. I started my exit from the field when I was working with a PR firm that was running a "behavior modification" campaign. Psyops presumably has regulations and oversight; marketing has nothing of the sort. Want to convince a billion people to drink an addictive chemical known to cause colon cancer? Classic.

You all still think we have rights, but I'm of the mind that technology and corporatism have erased all of it. All. Of. It.

There won't be any peaceful resolution to the situation, same as there wasn't when the King of England ignored our grievances that time.

People won't revolt until they're good and miserable--hungry, homeless, with nothing left to lose.

Right now, those types are being "managed" by homelessness, suicide, as well as opioids, marijuana, alcohol, video games, and other distractions. But that won't last forever, either.

It’s a runaway reaction with a positive feedback loop feeding into itself. Current scientific opinion is that within a certain range, increases in temperature caused by CO2 emissions can trigger a negative feedback loop but beyond a certain horizon (which we passed long ago) and up to the point of a doomsday scenario, the warmer it gets the more it causes secondary results that directly contribute to accelerating CO2 and methane emissions. Melting of permafrost being a chief source of the latter, in this case.

Naively that's true, but if you consider a distribution grid with a series of transmission line segments at a given voltage, after each segment the voltage is increased to normalise it to the target transmission voltage. Each stage results in a proportional loss of power transmitted, resulting in an exponential loss as distance increases.

Achieving a linear transmission loss ignores bounds on the source voltage. In this case, you may as well choose a transmission voltage of infinity and say resistive losses are constant because current tends to zero.

For a psychiatrist (MD), I suppose it's a typical rate. I can't speak for the commenter, but when I was younger everyone (including my psychology professor who was also a therapist) suggested prioritizing a therapist unless medication is needed (for which only a psychiatrist can prescribe). The claim was psychiatrists were trained to have a bias in favor of medication.

And therapists will not charge crazy rates. You'll get plenty of good ones for half that cost.

No idea if still true.
As the namesake suggests, "millenials" are ideally people who were young-adults around the 00's. That generally means born from the early/mid 80's to mid-90's.

Gen z were/are young adults during the '10s. Gen alpha will be young adults during the '20s.

Generally a person's pre-teen/teen/early 20's are very formative so the shared experiences that a generation will have probably do form a real connective tissue within the age cohort that separates them from those with different experiences. A binary (anyone less than x years old is a y) isn't so useful to describe such a phenomenon.
I did a bunch of work on managing/anticipating the power draw. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13747481 ). Something nobody talks about is how grossly wasteful & inefficient Hadoop is. There's a bunch of cited papers (https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.58... ) that study power consumption of Hadoop nodes, but nothing on how to actually reduce the consumption.

So here's something you can personally do to make a dent to this problem. Most of the Hadoop jobs that you write will involve some statistical summary over a dataset. Find the total, or the mean, median, 90th quantile, whatever. Writing a Hadoop map-reduce job is the single worst way to do this.Almost always, you can sample say a 1000 points, get a kernel density estimate via Parzen & then use a table. All quantiles, order statistics, functions of order stats...these can be hand computed for several univariate distributions & their location-scale families, and your real-life data can easily be bounded above below by these estimates. So you can get to > 95% accuracy just by hand-calculating. I can go into details if you like, but I suspect most of you already know how to do this.
The problem comes when you use the money form the loan in a competitive market - e.g. real-estate. The availability of credit increases what people are able to pay, and hence the price. To buy a house, a loan becomes a requirement, which benefits the lenders, as their market grows.

I should add a disclaimer: While this is a harmful consequence of loan availability, I wouldn't conclude from it that credit is harmful in sum. E.g. higher house prices eventually increase the supply (there are exceptions, like if the supply is limited by some other factor, like land availability).

But whatever the other effects of credit may be, empirically, it sure does look like it concentrates wealth.
It definitely can't. There are many cons to this of course that have discussed ad infinitum, but I'd like to point out this opens doors for a new industry focused on scrubbing, "pixelating", or even faking your online social presence. How that would work, who knows, but I'm sure there will now be a demand for that type of technology.

I think online creators should take this new tech very seriously - this isn't a platform or something like The Onion which, if overstepping the law, can be taken down by force. This is based on algorithmic research, which will undoubtedly continue forward. Think twice before making a 45-minute video with just your face talking about an extensive topic, and be mindful of bad actors when doing something like podcasting or audiobooks.

To me, the deepfake technology could be seen as the "black plague" of social media. Once it spreads far enough, many will be fearful about how they conduct their social media presence keeping in mind a bad actor can step in at any time and practically fake your life.
Framed that way, it actually appears quite logical, because hacking and killing is illegal, whereas bullshitting is not, so it's the path of least resistance. Sueing is legal too, so propagandists and lawyers it is…
I would say you shouldn't go to a doctor either unless you actually need treatment for something.
I realized this about 6 months ago, and this is exactly why I decided to start my own company. People that truly want to change the world should do the same, unless you fear instability more than you desire to change the world.
I came back to Twitter after a 4 year hiatus to my account which formerly had thousands of followers in my hobby niche. Wow is it horrible now. I don’t remember it being so polarizing and negative constantly. I find that to be the case for many Internet communities (e.g. Reddit).

I'm skeptical of the substance of this article because WSJ and Amazon share an owner.

I typically like the WSJ's reporting, but this honestly feels like a topic they should be recusing themselves from.
I'm ambivalent about this kind of thing. One one hand it takes advantage of people's stupidity, on the other, if people let themselves be that dumb then they deserve what they get.

I distinguish 'are that dumb' (children, some people with senility etc. who need protecting) from those who 'let themselves be that dumb' such as mystic belief in homoepathy, or that read up on the latest cancer cure in the Daily Mail (a right-wing UK rag). Elective credulity deserves no protection or respect IMO. But opposing views welcome.

> because they sell most of their cars in California.

11% of US auto sales are in California.

But even if it were 50%, they could still make different cars for California. They are simply choosing not to because the costs are high enough to bother. They seem to perfectly manage to produce cars in different colors or with dozens of other options, including ones that are picked in less than 10% of sales.
I don't think the PLA gets called in for executions when the PAP can do the job just as well. So the PLA's internal deployments are more likely to be something like fighting separatist groups, which they might want to boast about.

Bravo to Google for this show of corporate leadership. Their pledge to purchase renewable energy to match their real-time demand really is impressive, especially the note that it must create new renewable generation (discussed on the Google blog announcement not this article) .

It is also prudent, as these long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with new renewable generators will be very competitive, probably much cheaper than wholesale power prices, and be fixed into the future, avoiding price fluctuations from e.g. future gas supply shocks.
Today's ICEs are very reliable and generally outlast the car body - assuming your follow the maintenance schedule. All the wear on the body will be the same: pot holes, salt, accidents... Motors won't have nearly as much maintenance (you still need to lube bearings), but the car will die based not on the method of motor power in most cases even if you don't do the maintenance.

Batteries are a worry. Price has come down, but used electric cars are very cheap compared to the ICE cars because of this very reason. Until the market figures out how to replace the batteries at scale, and then buyers figure out how to account for the battery this will not change.
That is already happening, AI bots are in video chat rooms as well.
For everyone that enjoyed this, there's an entire free online MIT course called Performance Engineering of Software Systems[1] where you'll learn plenty more tricks and common pitfalls like these. You'll also learn how to use tools to debug the low level performance of your programs: looking at cache misses, cpu utilization, time spent per assembly operation and so on. It's pretty cool :)

By Henry’s gas law. The amount of gas dissolved or released depends on the temperature of the fluid. This is why for example you need to chill sodas to carbonate it during manufacturing.

Thus could it be that dissolved methane is being released from ocean and lakes as earth is heating? The gas law would imply that. As the liquid that contains methane heats the dissolved methane will be released to the atmosphere.

Same gas law Henry’s law is also active during scuba diving nitrogen absorption.

Yeah, but an even more important system programming trick is to measure what you're doing every time. Performance optimization at this level is never about just trusting tools. If you aren't willing to be reading generated machine code and checking perf counters, you aren't really going to get much benefit.

And if you're willing to check your optimizations by reading disassembly, tricks like stuffing tag bits into the bottom of aligned pointer values is pretty routine.
Heres one for you. A benevolent and all knowing AGI runs a tamper proof social credit system that penalises things that are "bad" in the eyes of a strict majority and rewards things that are "good", reducing the rights of people with poor scores to limit potential harm they can do and giving people with good scores more leeway.

What are the ethical considerations here? Is it just a perfect democracy + judicial system? Does it impact growth as a society? Im remembering the quote "All progress depends on the unreasonable man". Would it be a very conservative society that resulted?

PS should go without saying, but this is just thought exercise, obviously..
