I am not sure how to say this: the article is not wrong, but the argument as a whole is kinda pointless.
The “Legal” link at the bottom of the website points to Y Combinator’s TOS.

It’s odd that there isn’t any mention of the TOS upon registration. Does this mean they could potentially be non-enforceable?
Why is this portrayed as an “addiction”? This is one of America's important exports, and it is also really good for rural areas (usually would otherwise be in decline) with a college.

What we need is to strengthen this by granting green cards to those who get advanced degrees in key fields.

I still using my Sony Smartwatch 2 (2014), not even changed the wristband. The only thing is lack of software updates and support.

Sony made very good hardware. But they are not good updating their software. Just like the Sony Xperia Play, they don't even upgrade their Android version when they could.
In the context of the press release it was a little confusing to me because the published paper doesn't really report on anything that would be considered long-term. I assume she meant something like "the less treatment resistant, the more pronounced the effect"?

Treatment resistance probably refers to prior treatments, which is a sort of indicator of severity or, well, resistance to treatment. So it makes sense to me that people who were less resistant to prior treatments would show more immediate longer-lasting effects.

But it's confusing.

This is impressive but it's not a randomized controlled trial at all, and it's a fairly select group of patients, so it's hard to know what to make of it. TMS treatment of depression has kind of been plagued with publication bias effects -- not to say there's no effect but more rigorous meta-analyses have suggested that publication bias is significant in the area.

Sometimes with very severe patients you see more regression to the mean, in that they have bigger apparent improvements in control conditions just because they can only stay the same or get better.

Though I don't agree with UBI. It makes people dependent on government, who can fiddle figures to pay less, as with state pensions.

What's really needed is UBE - universal basic equity. Every citizen gets a stake (not 100%) in all of business, and shares in profits and dividends, derived from the economy they work to maintain and expand.

Here is the published study including an abstract, for those interested: https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.2019.1...

This new form of rTMS appears to have truly incredible potential to help people whose depression is otherwise resistant to treatment, which is sorely needed.

Having over 85% of participants meet remission criteria is, to put it mildly, incredible, though with only 21 participants, sample size is too small to make conclusions regarding large scale effectiveness.

As the paper notes, we now need double-blind trials. I very much hope that this treatment will be able to help people on a larger scale.

I wonder if this might have been a feature for testing that they figured "hey, why not expose to the end user?" Testers need to test text rendering/dimensions in different languages, but likely don't speak all of them, so they could navigate the menus in their native language and then switch to the language under test when they got to the right place.
example.com is also always a safe one; RFC-2606 defines four top-level domains and three second-level domain names permanently reserved by IANA for testing purposes: .test, .example, .invalid, .localhost, .example.com, .example.net, and .example.org.

I write about strategy in (mostly Blizzard) games.

I think players who read HN might enjoy my blog. I have been somewhat disappointed with most of what I read on reddit or similar---I see a lot of what's out there as "the strategic equivalent of jQuery," if that makes sense, a lot of hacks that don't cohere well together.

I tend to appreciate the same things in strategy that I appreciate in code: simplicity, efficiency, cleanliness, conceptual clarity. Much of my blog is about "refactoring your thinking" to get closer to those ideals. Overall it has been immensely satisfying, and I've seen the same benefits you tend to see with well-refactored code---a sense of order and easy control. I can play Protoss in such a way as to "force" a vulnerability to DT's, I can take a micro tactic and tell you how (or whether) it changes things at scale, and I can pick a trope and "compile" it to strategy so that it will be effective in-game.

There's also a strong focus on Overwatch teamplay, drawing from system dynamics, control theory, and game theory.

There's a frequent claim, especially amongst the American far-right, that chattel slavery of Irish people was a common thing (it wasn't, outside isolated cases, generally of non-white Irish people eg https://medium.com/@Limerick1914/an-irish-slave-in-antigua-7...), and that this somehow shows that slavery isn't a factor in the modern socioeconomic condition of black people in the US (because Irish people in the US had better socioeconomic outcomes).

In reality, indentured servitude of Irish people (and English people) was common in the early colonisation of America. This would be considered _modern_ slavery, colloquially (the term slavery is in a modern context used for all unfree labour), but it wasn't _chattel_ slavery, and was pretty dramatically different from chattel slavery. In addition, most Irish people immigrated to the America in the 19th century as free immigrants.

The Irish slavery myth isn't inherently racist (though it is inherently ahistorical), but it is often used as a racist talking point.

Much more context here: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/04/19/how-myth-iris... ; tldr; it's complicated.

By the way, it's worth noting that claims of widespread Irish chattel slavery are almost exclusively an American thing. Here in Ireland history classes etc give a more accurate impression of it. Cromwell engaged in in forced population displacement and unfree labour in Ireland (and there's certainly a case that he engaged in genocide), but not chattel slavery. Think more Stalin than Caesar.

It's all based on self-reports, it's very hard to account for individual differences in how people answer the questions and to control for those factors. I agree wholeheartedly.

However, certain types of severe depression seem to have a biological basis. Inflammatory cytokines may play a role. The "leaky gut" theory seems to be what's helped me personally.
A 90% response rate is in-line with ECT on non-medication resistant patients, actually, and it's not historically out of place that TMS performs so effectively. [1] [2]

Historically, TMS has had lower response rates than ECT, though this trial seems to offer a less invasive treatment with a comparable response rate. The measured response rates of the initial trials tend to drop after testing in a larger population, but it's great to see TMS progressing with improvements identified regularly.

It's a really cool idea, but I don't know if this would ever be a practical method for image compression. First of all, you could never change the neural network without breaking the compression, so you can't ever "update" it. Like: what if you figure out a better network? Too bad! I mean, I guess you could, but then you need to to version the files and keep copies of all the networks you've ever used, but this gets messy quick.

And speaking of storing the networks: I don't know that you would ever want to pay the memory hit that it would take to store the entire network in memory just to decompress images or video, nor the performance hit the decompression takes. The trade-off here is trading reduced drive space for massively increased RAM and CPU/GPU time. I don't know any case where you'd want to make that trade-off, at least not at this magnitude.

Again though: it's an awesome idea. I just don't know that's ever going to be anything other than a cool ML curiosity.
Another example of the myth of the omnipotence of marketing messages.

Marketing only works when the product works. Coke works because most peoples first experience is good, not only good, but in many cases magical (kids who've never had caffeine, especially combined in a tasty high sugar drink). Coke advertising just has to trigger memories of the happiness of that original taste association, and the marketing director looks like a genius.

Then he tries to make his own products, and the feathers on his gawdy wings start to smoke.
Switching branches does get a bit annoying if you happen to work in multiple branches simultaneously and have to switch halfway through a task, or there's a lot of differences; however, that is also a matter of organization.

It's happened to me though; one scenario is that you created a couple of merge requests for the same repo over the course of a day, and the next day feedback from code review or testing comes in. You end up having to switch to various branches to fix the reviews.

But that's really not that big of a deal. The context switch is worse than the git checkout call.
Here's better rationale for this kind of approach: it requires a lot less rebasing and merging:

1) If you branch a lot, keeping up with upstream changes can be tedious: you have to rebase each branch separately just to keep up. With this method, to keep up, you rebase just once, on your one branch.

2) If you branch a lot, merging each branch can cascade into a bunch of rebasing. As you build your feature, you might clean up unrelated code. Your "implement feature" commits could be interspersed with "fix unrelated code" commits. If you're creating a branch for each cleanup commit, as you submit them for review earlier than your feature, you have to rebase all your branches one by one. With this method, you rebase just once.

Is this the cutting off your nose to spite the face workflow? It seems like a lot of faff to avoid the trivial task of creating a branch.
Unfortunately, or maybe even fortunately for the rest of us, this 'wisdom' isn't necessarily true unless you believe it to be. I worked extremely hard during university both in my school work and at multiple jobs, it was far from 'the best years'. Now, most of the people who had all the fun in university agree with you. For me, it just keeps getting better.
"The harder you work, the luckier you get" might have been better advice.
Arguably many consumers, even if they _could_ evaluate a product's security before purchase, wouldn't _care_ because they don't understand how it affects them. And often, the effects (DDoS nets, etc) are against someone else anyway.

I'm not sure if "tragedy of the commons" is the right term for this, but I feel it's in the ballpark. Insecure devices create a form of pollution on the internet, let's say. And perhaps we should think of them like other polluters.

Obviously pollution controls have a cost, just like security, but we all understand that it's in everyone's interest to have air we can breathe, and ultimately lowers health care cost. Likewise, it could be argued that it's in everyone's interest (and perhaps a national security priority, as well) to have devices that don't allow themselves to be taken over by arbitrary attackers.

I think these are the regulatory models we should be considering.
Branches are still very much a thing in trunk-based development.
I've published several scientific translations and my goal is basically one page of the original a day. Or if it has small text and multiple columns, one column might be a better choice. One page a day is manageable. Just doing a bit every day makes this seem much more tractable.

Here's probably the most popular one (by downloads) that I've translated:

https://repositories.lib.utexas.edu/handle/2152/76302

Probably the largest things I've translated were about half of a Russian dissertation (76 pages) and a chapter of a German dissertation (50 pages). Either would have seemed beyond my capabilities if I hadn't taken them one page at a time.

Of course, there's more to translation than doing one page a day. I do one page a day for the rough draft. Editing a translation can take time (particularly to make the terminology consistent as automated translation tools don't always do that) and maybe I should also have a daily quota for that too.

Pro-tip: If you use exactly the same translated title as most people, Google Scholar will think that your translation is the one other people are citing when they use the translated title:

Do you have a data source on bed occupancy? Some countries provide this in real time but I couldn't find one for the UK.

Anecdotes from single ICUs can be misleading. We were told northern Italy was overflowing, that the healthcare system had collapsed. So I was a bit surprised when I learned that hospitals in Veneto were 2/3rds empty and other hospitals in the region of Lombardy were also not really at capacity. We were shown the pictures from Bergamo but not much elsewhere.

In the USA the media showed harrowing pictures of people queuing up outside overloaded hospitals, people visited those hospitals themselves after the news had gone and found they were quiet.

In Switzerland there is a problem with hospitals now needing financial bailouts because the flood of corona patients hasn't arrived, but they also don't have the revenue from all the other operations that would be happening. Hospitals needing bailouts otherwise they must furlough medical staff! That's not at all expected, surely?

In the US states are sending ventilators to each other because they don't need them.

It's possible that a very busy ICU doesn't translate to a busy hospital, or other mundane factors. But the picture being painted across the world with respect to hospital load is quite chaotic and I would be unwilling to assume "our ICUs are overflowing", especially as overflowing doesn't mean the same as very busy.

At any rate, there's a wider point being made here: given the measures taken the healthcare system is not currently turning away patients or even reducing standards of care (5 staff for one patient, that's a lot!). That was the scenario that motivated the current lockdowns. Given the catastrophic damage being created by the global shutdown, the hospitals actually should be overflowing to justify it - as in, patients being taken to hospitals far from where they were picked up, queues for beds, really dire stuff. In London there are suggestions it's already at peak and if that's as bad as it gets, it's really hard to understand why artificially creating a new great depression is justified. The effects on lives of a new 1930s style depression could be horrific.
Sweet, looks good. I reckon docker and docker-compose have been probably some of the greatest enablers for my development process, and how I think about desiging software systems.
The protocol is actually fairly intensive and expensive, involving tailored brain scans and all-day treatments over multiple days. It's the sort of thing that I could see in inpatients or partial hospitalization patients, or as an intensive outpatient protocol. You'd basically have to take off a week and go in every day all day.

This is promising but it's not randomized or controlled so hard to make anything of at some level (you can see how this kind of protocol would induce massive placebo effects).

If there is an effect, it may be that some kind of mild version of it, say, for a day or half-day or something might be useful in more mild forms of depression. But it's an intensive expensive treatment in its own way so might be hard to implement as an initial intervention.

But I agree that if it works this well it might be worth it to take a week off or a couple of days or something.
