>There is a reason why memes like sanguine vs melancholic or The Political Spectrum are popular -- but I don't see why it should be likely to cleave reality at its joints.

The point of models such at this isn't to 'cleave reality at its joints', it's to provide useful frameworks to reason about disease (or politics).

High level concepts such as schizophrenia attempt to given a human understandable account of what Schizophrenia is, why it emerges, and what treatments we may form.

Reductionism of the sort of, "we've looked at every neuron and figured out that 12301231723 of your 3782328372832 brain cells are out of whack" has no explanatory power. The goal of inquiry into mental illness is not to give some physical account of what is wrong with the brain, it is to give an account of what is wrong with the mind.

These brain chemistry accounts of psychological illness really have glaring problems. By definition they exclude all ecological or cultural factors by focussing on some individual's brain. But this is almost tautological, all psychological illness manifests in some sense in the brain.

When some local company pours lead into the river and everyone loses 20 IQ points then that manifests in the brain, like anything else does. However the right framework in that case is ecological.

A lot of companies tend to forget interviews are two-way processes, it's as much about them getting to know you, and you getting to know them.

Especially in tech, where you often need to do take-home test; I've seen so many companies not giving feedback on that test. To the point where it seems irrelevant to even do it.
If I don't get feedback on a technical test, through email or a follow-up interview, it's instantly a red flag. The company didn't respect the time I put into it, and I don't see how it will become any better when actually working there.
Yes, this 100% resonates with me.

That's a fair assessment. The brain doesn't store information so much as reproduce your experiences while reading during recall. It lets you relive, in part, the lighting, the angle, how heavy the book was, whether your edition had a defect on a particular page, the feel of the paper, the smell...

All of that comes in to play.

For my last read-through of Children of Dune (roughly a year ago now), I read it on the Kindle app on my phone. I remember the hotel room in Mumbai, the look of the text (white on a black background), the sun going down, and the characters moving through my mind. Would I have developed these recall skills if I hadn't spent my life reading paper books? I'm not so sure.

It’s the smart move. Frankly, it was a mistake to open in CA in the first place. CA is not business friendly and definitely not an affordable place to manufacture goods.

I think this is correct, like in the sense that react uses a VDom. When you make changes, you sort of pretend that you are changing everything, but the rendering engine figures out the differences to the real DOM, based on the in-memory changes, and makes minimal edits to it. This is why you can use react with all kinds of things that aren't DOM or even web-related (react-native, react-blessed, react-babylonjs, etc.) I contributed to react-blessed & react-babylonjs, and wrote the main chunk of react-babylonjs's current fiber system. You essentially just use the VDOm to describe the full graph, and that graph doesn't have to be DOM at all.

> Depends on your definition of "high functioning" and "democracies", I guess.

Well, let's take Denmark for example.

They typically record more than 80% participation in elections; they score 9.22 out of 10 in The Economist's democracy index (7th globally); they score 1.87 out of 2.5 on the World Bank's government effectiveness index (also 7th); and the population consistently views their government favorably and reports high levels of satisfaction in their personal lives.

I'm not really sure that there's any other more closely fitting definition of a "high functioning democracy" than one in which the population is repeatedly shown to be prosperous, happy, and broadly engaged.

> Framing is important.

> In many places the annual flu is more deadly. And all the articles about running out of space at morgues, etc. are common in winter in Europe.

This is false and you are spreading misinformation. The estimated IFR you can calculate from e.g. the antibody test done in NYC is between 0.8 and 1.5% that's 10times higher than the flu. Moreover, the percentage of patients requiring intensive care is comparatively even higher (it really is not about the death rate primarily). Also please show some evidence for you assertion that morgues running out of space in Europe is common.

> We've had SARS and MERS before (MERS is way more deadly, yet we didn't enter a global panic). There is something specific about this panic, and it's not the virus; it's a variant of something we've seen before.

The reason why MERS and SARS did not cause this response is because they spread much slower. There are lots of diseases which are more deadly than covid19, the difference is how they spread. For example a disease that spreads through blood transfusions could have 99% fatility rate but would never be as dangerous to public health as covid 19 is.

> That the media played fear mongering is a given, that's what they always do; I suspect the new factor is social media, which has probably amplified that factor even more.

Actually the new thing is "experts" popping up all over social media talking about how everything is just overblown and we should not trust the real experts. This stories are pushed very clearly from political corners with a very specific agenda, it's all about discrediting science, evidence based decision making and our institutions (it all started with cigarettes then global warming and now covid19) . That's the irony all the conspiracy followers don't realise that they are part of the biggest misinformation campaign orchestrated by groups with very strong economic interests (you might even call them elites)

Yeah, I read that anecdote, too. Saying “many people” is meaningless. A tenth of a percent of a million people is a thousand people. That’s “many people”, but the rate is quite low.

Facts: in the US, the hospitalization rate for covid is around 4.6 per 100,000. It’s half that for people under age 50. The rate of serious disease is very, very low...and this includes high-risk groups:

OP here - please trust that I have given this a lot of thought, both through hours and hours of examining the conversation and introspecting my answers, and (months) later, in a long phone call with the director of the program, who very generously walked me through why they made the decision they did.

I alluded to this in the post - this wasn’t the only thing I did wrong, not at all, but it was by far the easiest to change and the clearest signal to the interviewers that I was overconfident and incurious, and the other stuff would just detract from the message that’s already there.

Let’s be real. All this drama by Elon Musk has very little to do with his “concern” for workers. He just wants to resume production so the business can resume. This is the same person that refused to shut down the factory and put his workers’ health at risk. The motive behind his dangerous tweets and tantrums is pretty clear for everyone to see.

I would be supportive if the advice is “copy those styles, extend them or host it themselves”, not adding a dependency that’s bound to be broken sooner or later. There are way too many bloated, slow, or broken websites due to linking to random blurbs from the internet.
The other poster already pointed out that there is a difference between CFR and IFR (and initially CFR was reported because we did not have good estimates of CFR) The IFR for the flu is 0.1% in the bad years, and we have estimates of the IFR which are more in line with 0.9 to 1.5% (based on the antibody tests in NYC for example). That's 10 times higher, I don't know about you, but an order of magnitude is pretty significant in my book.

He's known to use at least marijuana and Ambien.[1] Sam Altman was worried about this back in 2017:

It is why I like IRC channels to have public logs. (These can be client-based logs or server-based logs; all I know are client-based, although server-based logs are also possible and this is independent of the protocol; you don't need a new protocol to support them, although of course some way of accessing them would then be needed; Gopher (or HTTP) would work fine, and the topic message could link to them.)
JSON vs. Structs vs. Columns in BigQuery – Observations
Video game consoles, especially modern ones (the Switch is an Nvidia Android tablet, the Xbone and PS4 are AMD NUCs) are fundamentally owner hostile devices. Their business model is to sell you a computer with crippled software and no ccontrol over it where programming for it requires NDA to get developer documentation.

They are a gross facimilie of computer. They waste what could be general usage hardware on restricted functionality all for the sake of maintaing total software control to extort maximum profits out of their userbase. And they can only get away with it by having their userbases - the audience they hold captive is pressure on game developers to have to submit to their rule to access their captive audience.

They are a middle men that parasitizes developers and gamers for the utility of "convenience" but its their market dominance that prevents less heinous alternatives from emerging. SteamOS was the closest we saw and even that Valve wasn't willing to invest that much into given its less profitable than the fully proprietary contemporaries.

I can't stand gnome3 on Ubuntu. It's just dysfunctional and slow in so many ways. I could expand on that, but lets just say I had installed 19.10 in Feb for testing, and when I occasionally switched back to using my old notebook (with 16.10 and Unity), which I had to to search files since 19.10 doesn't find anything, I was shocked how much faster and usable it is. And while Ubuntu offers other flavours (Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.), once you leave the mainstream setup, you can as well use something else altogether since you're loosing the network effect and QA through crowd-testing that Ubuntu has anyway. Mandatorily updating Snap packages on 20.04 were the last straw for me, as I'm having no use for such a setup; as developer working with multiple customers and customer data, and often times from remote and not-so-well connected spots, I absolutely need to be in control of what SW is on my system so I decided I'll go back to using Debian proper (Devuan, specifically, so I can also get rid of SystemD).

I don't notice much of a difference with reading, but I do feel the same way about writing; digital todo lists or notes just don't work for me.

I used to think this was about the act of writing in itself - that doing it by hand forced me to be more conscious of the information - but writing with e.g. an Apple Pencil on an iPad is just as useless as typing.

I'd really like to figure this out because I love the idea of searchable notes that are available anywhere, any time, and aren't dependent on a dead tree for their longevity, but I haven't found the solution yet. I have a theory that it might be related to the fundamental experience (friction, texture) of a pen and paper, so I'm considering a reMarkable[1] but I'm wary of obsolescence.

With AWS you also pay for much more than just hardware.

Even when compared with other cloud providers, AWS is super expensive.

The only interesting service that AWS provides is the ability to host your services globally through multiple availability zones, but unless you need to provide a global service with low latency everywhere in the globe then that's just not worth the time and money.

In short, the expanded air and vibrations from lightning are hyhpothesized to cause disruptions in the hyphae of the shitake fungi, leading them to change into a reproductive phase and increase yield.
