the article points to a lot of adverse health effects that undoubtedly exist but it also sounds a little dramatic.

That sleep deprivation after 18 hours for example significantly degrades performance is something I have not experienced. The sluggishness after all-nighters I can attest to but not to the level that I'd compare it to alcohol intoxication.

I've heard of people having drug-induced hallucinations after days without sleep, but the article states that hallucinations seem to be common after only 48 hours, which surprised me.

In general, I've had to deal with lack of sleep a lot in my life, first in the military and later when co-founding a business, and while it definitely wasn't always pleasant, I'm not sure it's quite as bad as people nowadays make it out to be.
I have been suffering from (LUPUS) disease for the last 10 years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.This disease started circulate all over my body and i have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (LUPUS) by this Man Dr Abiolo and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him any sickness that he would be of help, so i wrote to Dr Abiolo telling him about my (LUPUS) he told me not to worry that i was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later i started experiencing changes all over me as the DR assured me that i have cured,after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if i have be finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends my advise is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can email Dr Abiolo on (abiolotemple@gmail.com) sir i am indeed grateful for the help i will forever recommend you to my friends!!! with your lovely Email Address( abiolotemple@gmail.com) or you can also call him on this number +2347012232686Dr Abiolo also cure the following(1) EX BACK(2) HIV/AIDS (3) ALS / LUPUS DISEASE CURE (4) DICK ENLARGEMENT(5) HEPATITIS B(6) ALOPECIA(7) CANCER(8) DIABETES(9) HERPES CURE(10) CURE OF ANY KIND OF DISEASES (11) IMPOTENCE,(12) BARENESS/INFERTILITY(13) DIARRHE / H PYLORI CURE(14) ASTHMA(15) HPV CURE/HSV-1(16) FIBROID CURE....contact him now email abiolotemple@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2347012232686... he is ever ready!!!
Yeah, exactly. If the change happens as fast as it is happening, you get a mass extinction. If the change happens over thousands of years, biomes have time to migrate.

Using the xkcd timeline as a guide, the temperature change in the last 120 years is about the size of the temperature change between 11,000 and 9,000 BC, which was only mildly disruptive to global ecology.

you can't just buy any hardware. I'm sure Ubuntu and other distros publish a hardware guide. I have a Thinkpad T490, tried out Manjaro, Suse, Fedora and ended up settling with Kubuntu | Budgie. No hiccups. Everything works out of the box. I have 40gb ram, something I could never get on the current generation macbooks. Keyboard is excellent n trackpoint. only bad thing hardware wise, are the speakers. I also have a Retina macbook pro 2013 personal. and use a 2015 Macbook pro for work. My old job I used the 2018 macbook pro, a shitty computer, that I would compare to my 2012 Dell inspiron, in terms of shittiness. Forgot to mention my thinkapd dispaly is 500 nits 100% ARGB. KDE has fractional scaling to handle DPI displays.
Show HN: On-Device Machine Learning to Redact Protected Data in Images
I've come to accept that most OSes are inevitably broken in different ways. OS X has always broken my dev environment on every update. So over three years ago I switched to a ThinkPad X1 Carbon with XUbuntu and have no issues other than having to change my DPI when I connect/disconnect to a non HiDPI screen. Then I recently built a gaming PC with an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU, which did not go as smoothly with Linux: I had to install experimental Nvidia drivers, audio is a little wonky, and sometimes the wifi doesnt work and I have to restart. But overall I'm quite happy on XUbuntu and it gives me fewer problems or annoying prompts than Mac OS or Windows ever did. For gaming I use Windows of course.
Exercise doesn't have an effect for me. In high school I played two varsity sports and in college I played in some club/recreational leagues. Now I swim and weightlift, but I wouldn't say any of these activities improve my quality of sleep or ability to induce it.

This is because, for me, "sleepiness" is not the same as "tiredness." I can be extremely exhausted, both mentally and physically, but I'll still never feel sleepy.

I would say one of the most frustrating aspects of being an insomniac is that is makes activities like weightlifting much more difficult. I'll never be able to achieve my weightlifting goals because I simply don't sleep enough hours to let my body fully recover. I've found I still have a strong stamina for aerobic sports, but building raw strength and muscle has been really hard.

This!. Love your reply. I'm also tired of developers criticizing Linux desktop for not being friendly enough and running away to propietary systems instead of trying to help to fix what they don't like of Linux Desktop. That's the good thing of open source: don't like it? Then fix it and send me a patch and stop complaining. Its not like propietary systems where you only can complain (you can't fix)

I think the different stages of sleep play a part here ... Salvadore Dali apparently liked to keep an object/pen in his hand that would drop and wake him up.

Pretty neat to see these symptoms understood and researched. I experienced all of them during high school when I worked at a movie theater that kept me there past 2AM and got up each morning for Seminary at 6AM. No caffeine was allowed in my parents household either. The freeway microsleep is the scariest. You suddenly become very alert and realize you don't remember the last few minutes at all.

Joshua Waitzkin has an interesting perspective on this. He will take an idea, keep it in his hold, and then make sure he lets go of the focus a few hours before bedtime. IE. Do something with family instead.

> I come from a country where while public/state education is under attack from the usual suspects, it's historically one of our core values, one we feel strongly about.

Charter schools are public education, even private schools that take vouchers are public education.

If your local government isn't particularly good at administrating schools efficiently, then a more private or corporate school which is directly accountable to the students' guardians is likely to have better outcomes. It's that simple.

If your local government does a spectacular job of directly administrating schools, then who would bother? but public education is a qualitative goal, not a specific type of institution.

The goal of public education is to educate the public, but the administrative reality of state schools in many regions is that they tend to enrich public sector unions and their senior members more than the public at large.

> Issues with open addressing are issues like clustering if linear probing is used.

Robin Hood hashing more or less solves that problem.

> When we delete keys, we have to leave "tombstone" entries in their place, so that the linear probing can continue past them to find other items.

Actually no. Even ignoring Robin Hood Hashing, you just swap a later element into place.

idx = hash(value);
delete(array[idx]);

for(int i=idx+1; array[i] != empty; i = (i+1) % TABLE_SIZE){
if(hash(array[i].value) <= idx){
array[idx] = array[i];
idx = i; // Repeat for the new location
}
}

I just typed the above in like 2 minutes, so there's probably a bug. But its probably "correct enough" that you can get the concept. There's no tombstones needed for linear probing (and only linear probing).

Conceptually, you can see that array[i] is simply being "re-hashed" into the hash table. Donald Knuth in "The Art of Computer Programming" proves that the above procedure (well... the correct bug-free version at least) is equivalent to clearing out the hash table and rehashing all elements. Except of course, the above procedure is way faster.

--------

Robin Hood hashing solves the problem in a different way. See this other guy's blog post for details: https://www.sebastiansylvan.com/post/robin-hood-hashing-shou...

By removing this app some amount of public opinion swings towards the notion that the HK Government (and police) are the victims here. Let's not forget the decision that led to the protests and the incidents of police brutality that have occurred since.

Perhaps avoiding police is the primary use case of the app.
It's still not clear how complicit companies were in the Prism findings.

Specifically, did Apple/Google/etc actively cooperate with the NSA (outside of court ordered warrants), or did the NSA break in, or did the NSA have agents within the companies.

If anyone knows differently and has a source the community would be very interested to hear about this.
I've done two, but I didn't find them very helpful. They take several months to schedule, which is quite inconvenient, and they require dedicating a lot of time staying overnight in clinics with wires strapped to you.

The end result is the same, too. Current medical advice is a mix of sleep hygiene and meditation strategies (some insomniacs feel extremely anxious when they can't sleep, which makes things worse) and medication.

I'm currently not taking medication, but for many years it was a pretty constant cycle 6-9 months on medication, and then a few months tapering off because my body would quickly build tolerance to them. Medication was pretty critical when I was in college, but in the decade since I've graduated I think I've just come to see the cycle as unsustainable and ultimately kind of pointless which is why I haven't taken them for about a year now.

Correlation vs causation leaves a lot open, chronically sick with a number of illnesses people may sleep more. Their mortality risk is also higher.

I believe 0.005% of the population can't revolt against an emerging superpower. People in the west think it's 7 million protesters when the reality is 7/1400 million. It's a fringe movement rooted in (justifiable) structural dissatisfaction expressed through bigotry against the only people who can help them. Ever considered why no protesters had the idea of waving the Chinese flag and petitioning the Chinese for change? Why they target mainland people, businesses and institutions while waving imperialist flags and using imperial insults, like Chee-na? The belief in the bigotry is what makes the belief in revolution impossible. Further the combination of bigotry, instability with democracy will ruin prospects of democracy across mainland and peace across the straight. The ideal that westerners think independence is remotely in the cards and actively cheering it on because it's good popcorn is incredibly worrying. Separatism/reunification is the #1 Chinese issue since founding of CPC and a clearly articulated redline with anyone remotely familiar with the issue. The longer HK drama draws out, the greater the chance of a hot war in Taiwan in 20-30 years.
Absolutely. The problem with Apple's, and many other companies, early response policies is it depends on the source of truth, such as the police, not being complicit.

If they always wait for a court order, PR disasters happen, and polticians dredge up 'think of the children' arguments.

If they don't wait for an order they can become part of the machinery of ill-intentioned polticial or commercial forces.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

However, I still think waiting for an order, especially in tense environments, is the right moral choice. I concede it probably isn't the right economic choice a lot of the time.
Stallman never represented the future of computing. He was the same backward guy in the 1990s that he is now, the major difference being that the only feasible alternative to GCC in those days was whatever shitty proprietary compiler your vendor slapped together, so sites adopted the GNU suite because it was better than the alternatives.

It was never Stallman's goal to "represent the future of computing". It was his goal to preserve the spirit of the past, specifically the 1970s AI lab at MIT where hackers could just log in and hack, and didn't have to worry about vendors locking them out from their data or equipment.

Look, I don't agree with Stallman, on a lot of things including software. But without his sort of lone-voice-crying-in-the-wilderness extremism, where would we be? Lots of people, including Gary Kildall, Chuck Moore, and Steve Wozniak could plausibly claim to have been at the vanguard of a culture of openness and sharing in computing. But it was Stallman who had the courage to come out and say, "these are the freedoms we demand, and you're a shithead if you abrogate them." We need more courageous voices like that. They are in short supply, especially as the loudest voices in open source now come from large companies who have much to gain by compromising the Four Freedoms.
I'm sorry you went through that. Yes, bullying needs to stop, but if we back up and ask the question, why do kids do this? We used to hear 'kids can be cruel'. I think it has something to do with with alpha/beta dynamics. Kids always want to fit in but they also want to be popular. To be popular means some have to be unpopular. Maybe a quick way to do that is by putting someone down and in effect making them lower than you on the social status ladder.

I think the kindest of us probably suffered through bullying or forever being the outsider, and maybe these people experience more empathy for others as they know first hand how awful it feels to be on the receiving end.

But the majority don't go through this. Because of this, I don't believe we will ever get rid of this behaviour. We may minimise it a bit, but really we are trying to change embedded behaviour.
Finally we will be able to manufacture online consensus.

Bowing to state actors is a decision individuals make.

If the platform gives specific people the ability to bow on behalf of everyone (as iOS does - reviewers have that power), eventually some of those people will do so.

A centralized app store must at least bow to the state actors where its business operations and servers live. Otherwise the state actors will take their hardware and remove the business from existence.

If the OS supports direct installation, then you avoid the inherent risks of centralized software.

Granted, you gain the risks of decentralized software.

I read the original article and the abstract of your linked study.

First, I'd like to see a breakdown of 8 hour vs 9+ hours instead of grouping them. Someone sleeping a healthy 8 hours and someone sleeping 12 hours are very different.

There might be issues like, people who sleep 12 hours are sick, and that's WHY they sleep 12 hours and they die due to their illness.

Overall I'm guessing people who sleep a lot per day aren't very active, both career wise and going out/excising (just my guess) - and people who don't have jobs and are poor, they live less than people who do have jobs and have money. Also people who are depressed sleep more. So not all sleep is equal.

It's hard to approach health from a cybernetic point of view, but I think that's what's missing to make these studies less unidimensional. The key is how to make science more cybernetic. That I don't know.

Thank you very much for writing this up. I have been using TensorFlow since it was first released and even though I am now retired I have been looking at my own open source models with an idea of converting to TF 2.

Since I am just keeping up with deep learning in particular and AI in general for my own interests, I will likely switch over to PyTorch because there is no risk involved and learning something new is fun. This is a big change since I have years of TF experience and perhaps four or five evenings spent with PyTorch.
It's not "whatever." Apple has removed emoji and an app; they don't provide the government with backdoors or biometric data. There really is a line.
That's not from a lack of sleep. If you want to build strength and muscle, do less aerobic exercise and eat more - a lot more. You need to be in a caloric surplus for a while.

I am not surprised by this. I always thought Tim Cook talks a good talk, but fails to walk the walk when the stakes at hand is real. He’s fine with standing up to the CIA/FBI because he knows it’s good PR for business and the US government cannot do anything without a lengthy court fight that is mostly fair. Same with other US domestic issues such as DACA, sane sex marriage, etc.

But when it comes to the PRC government, he caves immediately because the threat is real. He knows he CAN and probably WILL lose access the Chinese market and manufacturing capacity, and there’s no court system to appeal—-the system is rigged and controlled by the CCP. Therefore, principles bow down before revenue.

Personally I don’t care what Tim Cook and Apple does to get and keep access to Chinese market, but I am disgusted by hypocrite with the high rhetoric about privacy, human rights, etc., but compromising immediately when $$$ is at stake.
