No idea if this is done, but couldn't you in theory add the instrumentation before or during the compilation?

I bought an Xbox just so I could play Red Dead Redemption 2. Had Stadia been around, or had I been interested in Cyberpunk, I would certainly play on that.

I still think it’s a good idea, with a lot of people falling into the “who is this for” camp, and very well could eventually be very successful.

My impression is that it just needs more time to mature. If we were talking about some saas product, those rough edges and missing features wouldn’t be a big deal. Everyone here would be saying “yeah, it’s an MVP that they needed to get into market to test things out. It’s improving incrementally.” But because it’s video game related, people’s expectations are that it finished and perfect the day it launches.
This research puts me in mind of the ESP research by both the Soviets and the US in the 1960s (or thereabouts). They were looking for secret communications between the Earth and Space, or between other locations by the military.

I meant long term support in general but I was not specifically running LSTB. It ran vanilla W10 Pro installed by the reseller. I found much later it was not even an OEM license so not a bad deal - effectively the machine was free. The world must be awash with W10 licenses.
Can you elaborate? You don’t need to install Steam or the game to play that game on GeForce Now.
I wasn’t French when I studied here. The tuition was still pretty low, roughly 800€ year including insurance afaik my school did not distinguish between local and foreign students. More known schools like ISEN or EPITA took roughly 5k€/year afaik but I may be wrong.

Granted, I didn’t go to a prestigious grande école, rather just a “pretty good” engineering school. Also business schools are indeed more expensive than technical degrees. Not to mention that Paris region is way more expensive than the rest of the country.

Not quite -- Snowflake allows you to query data directly from S3 without having to ingest it. You can either query the S3 file directly [1], or define an external table on top of it [2]. If the data is JSON, Avro, XML, or some other "semi-structured" format, then Snowflake's "variant" data type makes this type of data very easy to work with. For raw text or log lines, you can still load to Snowflake and process using regex or UDFs. For unstructured or "complex" data like images and PDFs, then you may need to reach for a different compute environment.

I thought I had to buy Stadia to Pro to play any game. This isn't the case. There was a game I wanted to play, it doesn't run on Linux, I bought it 50% off on Stadia and I'm a happy user. I'm not going all in on Stadia of course; I realize that there's a good chance Stadia will disappear eventually. For the convenience and quality I'm getting now I don't mind buying this game on Steam again later if it happens that Stadia is gone and I want to play it again. For the right use case I recommend Stadia.
Habituation is definitely part of it.

Many prescribers will also start patients on very low doses and titration up to minimize the distraction of the euphoric effects.

Unfortunately, many mew ADHD patients mistake the initial euphoric effects for the medication “working” and get frustrated when the effects go away. They start chasing bigger prescriptions, shopping around for prescribers willing to give higher doses, doubling up doses and so on.

Everyone going into stimulant treatment should know that excessive stimulant dosing can worsen focus. If you’ve ever seen someone abusing stimulants, you’ll know exactly what this means. People on too high of a dose tend to be overly energetic, or overly focused on the wrong things.

Ideally, you want to be on the lowest dose you can get away with. Contrary to what is often repeated online, it’s best to take the medication continuously rather than skipping days. The medication should blend into the background while you work on improving ADHD. Don’t fall into the trap of leaning on the stimulant to solve everything for you.
For me, medication and counseling compliment each other. Have you considered going back to counseling now that you are medicated to get even more "good habits" that you can apply to your life as it is in 2020?
I think this person is very harsh in their judgement of people who went into programming as a career choice rather than out of some starry eyed passion for computing.

I was absolutely one of those "dead eyed zombies" in my CS classes in university. And I loved computers and computing!

What I was lacking was energy from working two part time jobs while attending classes. What I was struggling with wasn't a lack of passion for programming, it was a lack of passion for anything, because my teenaged years had ground it out of me.

> Filming me defecating in the privacy of my home is not comparable to a quasi-anonymous unique value traveling from my computer to another.

It's not a "Quasi-anonymous" token the moment it's tied to your Facebook account... which is exactly 100% the point here. Facebook wants to be able to tie your off Facebook activity to your Facebook account.

Also, there are some incredibly private things which happen on people's phones. If I went to the courthouse or a DUI lawyer in town, I don't want Facebook to know this. If I have to install an app due to parole restrictions, this shouldn't be a thing Facebook finds out about.

There are piles of other private activities which people keep in the apps they use.
Would you say those occasionally useful ads are worth the added stress (extrapolating from your words: “hate”, “angry”) of having to see other ads?

>Once you need something complicated, you're on your own, while being stuck in a proprietary environment that you cannot extend.

Snowflake supports enough SQL constructs to allow for very complicated queries. If that doesn't suit your needs then there's stored procedures and custom javascript UDFs you can write. That covers probably 99+% of the use cases at most companies and usually the rest can be done somewhere else on pre-aggregated data.

I live in Northern New Mexico. There is virtually zero mental healthcare out here. As in, I've been on waiting lists for dozens and dozens of clinics/clinicians for more than a year, following up with all of them every few weeks. Money isn't even an issue here -- I'm willing to pay the $450/30 minutes out of pocket or whatever it costs to see someone. There just literally is not enough mental healthcare to go around. Virtually zero clinics are seeing new patients.

I've been lucky enough to be able to get treatment from my GP (who is actually a PA) for mental health conditions I've been diagnosed with previously in other states, and prescriptions for (admittedly lower stakes) meds that have worked reliably for me in the past. But she's not able to evaluate me for ADHD -- only refer me to clinics where I've already been on the waitlist for a year.

Anyway, some of us self-diagnose because it's literally the only fsking option. Not everywhere is the SF Bay Area where there are excellent free and low cost clinics on every other street corner and world class treatment options for those able to pay more.

GFN offers something unique: you can connect to existing stores like steam and play many of the games you already own there over GFN. This is a big deal.
In BQ you can query data as an external table with Hive Partioning. No need for duplication and extremely useful for consuming "Landing Zones" in a Datalake.

Pretty similar as defining a Hive Table and then using any other engine to process it.

Yes, if your definition of active is that you had to make a decision, yes. Pretty much everything we do is active. In the same way that sleeping is exercise because your muscles move.
I've had the opposite experience; I do rely heavily on note taking (especially when it's something I can be distracted away from) but I find having more than 10 tabs extremely stressful and tend to close out as much as possible to avoid getting overwhelmed. Maybe that's a coping mechanism for the object permanence issues that come with ADHD.

Yes, Apple can take the offending app down upon receiving a DMCA takedown. Then the offender can, depending on how profitable the app is, send in a counter-DMCA notice, forcing Apple to put the app back up in two weeks and now Apple is off the hook for infringing, and they're back to making money. Your only recourse is to sue to offending party (not Apple).

How does that matter for the subject at hand, ie. the price of GameStop shares?
Not really. It’s true that ADHD patients will likely react differently to stimulants, but the exact differences have been greatly exaggerated online. There are some studies showing that some people respond better to Ritalin than Adderall and vice versa. Prescribers should try switching medications if the patient doesn’t respond.

Most people will experience increased focus when first taking stimulants, ADHD or not. Many ADHD patients will experience euphoria with their first doses. The idea that ADHD people have polar opposite responses to medication is largely a myth.

Most long-term patients don’t identify with the euphoric or energizing comments because they’ve built a tolerance to those effects. There’s nothing wrong with that, because the therapeutic value doesn’t derive from inducing euphoria.

However, a drug-naive college student taking a double dose of Adderall will certainly be buzzing. For a short while. They will then suffer a rebound on the following day or days. There isn’t really a free lunch here.

The challenge is that non-ADHD people often try Adderall once, like the effects, and assume a positive response means they have ADHD. That’s blatantly wrong, but it has lead to many people pursuing unnecessary stimulant prescriptions in hopes of feeling that way every day. They are always disappointed when they discover that the long-term effects are very different than those first experience effects.

I am not articulating myself correctly :)

As far as regulatory submissions go and the design outputs that get stored in your QMS, the SDLC appears waterfall because there are clearly defined design inputs, design outputs, and verification / validation checkpoints. In practice, however, the actual process can be agile.

I've done a fair amount of work in the area, and one of the biggest lessons is "even if you can diagnose, you shouldn't"

We likely won't have to deal with the legal dilemmas for a while for a simple reason: doctors _hate_ when non-doctors diagnose, and you can't build a diagnostic tool without doctors. The tools simply won't get built to any real quality standard.

There's an easier path, interestingly. It's much more effective to just give docs the info they need. A system that could do the following would be the holy grail: "Patient entered ER with [chest pain, shortness of breath], and has a history of [hypertension, diabetes]. They are on [X, Y medication], but have not filled their prescription in [Z weeks]." No diagnosis, just the right info at the right time.
I agree with most of this, but the Superhot game that's on Stadia Pro is a new release. (It's basically a Superhot roguelike, and I don't like it, but it is a new game.
It is true, you're conflating things here.

We've formalized how to define the "fastest" algorithm and for that we have definitive answers on what is faster and what isn't.

Our notion of what is "best" is the thing here that has not been formalized. "Best" is a vague word it needs to be defined before it can even be formalized.
Of those 3 I was only somewhat happy with Anathem. I couldn't finish REAMDE and Seveneves convinced me that I may not read another one of his books again, unless it debuts to unanimous critical acclaim or something similar. I thought the ending of Cryptonomicon was pretty weak but the rest of the novel leading up to it was so fantastic that I didn't care. Honestly I found the Baroque Cycle to have the best ending of any of his works, and I would describe it as the one time I was happy with both the journey and the destination of a Stephenson novel.
Not possible with Stadia. You have to buy the games again to stream them.

Why? Probably less latency/better quality with a PC.
Two questions:

1. I wonder how many times the test set can be used on "incremental changes in future versions of the model" before losing statistical validity.

2. This article describes their process, but not the FDA's process. Are there specific regulatory requirements for ML models beyond their four types of reports?

Nice. I've talked myself out of starting a monitoring product at least a few dozen times. As you point out, customers either get to choose between being gouged or run their own spaghetti.

On top of bad UX, I do think the storage layer is where customers are really getting hit by these companies. The big players are using very unoptimized ingestion and querying layers and pretending like tiered storage never happened. Developers share some of the blame too by not being at all pragmatic about how long and how much to keep. It's a tough nut to crack.

What's the plan for commercial? They run it themselves and pay per user? If so, that's refreshing.
Reminds me of games like Densha de Go

That’s a lot of anger and resentment. I think this resonated a bit for one of my jobs (that I did stay way too long at). Despite my endless complaining about that job, I stuck around. I can’t think of a real reason why, I don’t know if I was scared or complacent or what. There are a lot of good memories with friends (stuck in the same trap) there.

Don’t be afraid to change things. You’re the hero of your own life’s story.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
Totally agree re: the tone. I think it's unfortunate because many folks will likely not see past it.

I think the general message he's trying to get across re: therapists is that even the best intentioned therapist ultimately puts a ceiling on one's personal growth, as the dynamic inherently implies that the client in some way needs the therapist to heal. And that therapists have little incentive to acknowledge this dynamic.

History working at all is a more recent change. Previously, if you disabled location history it would only remember POIs that you navigated to. Not addresses.

The whole thing was outright unusable for no technical reason, as if nobody at Google had tested "non-treacherous mode", or as if they on purpose sabotaged it.
Any advice for how you bootstrapped this and started to get clients? I find that the hardest part about taking the leap and leaving a full-time role.
