I already think that has happened for companies and startups, but I don't think much progress at all has been made for individuals.

I'm not seeing it. Newspapers and cable both heavily rely on ads. Credit card fees eat up way too much for small transactions. I had hoped Paypal would have addressed this 20 years ago. They seemed best positioned to bypass traditional credit card companies. Cryptocurrencies seem like it technically could work, but I don't see that happening.

One way around is the iTunes model. Where everything is bundled under a single company (Apple) that negotiates and/or batches transactions with credit card companies--or eats the fee on small transactions as a loss leader for larger ones. Patreon seems like a decent candidate for this. Another benefit of a centralized model is trust an familiarity. I'm more likely to use Apple or Patreon for subscriptions because individual companies suck with alerting you before reoccurring payments or letting you cancel.

Exactly. This blog clearly showed that tracking remained even after switching to a paid plan. These companies have tasted the forbidden fruit of surveillance capitalism and they won't roll back voluntarily.
But we can usually objectively tell what is wrong. A test can be administered by different doctors and they're almost certainly going to arrive at the same conclusion. Mental illness has so much overlap and comorbidity that we can't really do that. Even for something like ADHD we don't really have an objective test for.

How do you solve Z order changes and similar runtime changes?

The example is multiple layers with images. When first rendered they were Z ordered as ABCD, in a next frame reordered as DBCA. It's possible these images are grouped into 2 textures as AB and BC, this means after the reorder you need 1 draw call per image, which is less than ideal.

Happens quite often on the web. Like a forum thread with avatars, as user scrolls, the rendering order of avatars changes randomly.

Silicon Valley Insight | REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.siliconvalleyinsight.com/

Silicon Valley Insight was started by some of the most talented engineers from Stanford University in Silicon Valley. We specialize in building full digital products from scratch (design, prototype, development, and launch) including “full stack” web and native mobile applications. We've worked at famous Silicon Valley companies including Google, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Our mission is to build a world-class global team that builds world-class software.

We're looking for new Senior Software Engineers (focus on BACKEND) to join us.

https://www.siliconvalleyinsight.com/svi-opportunities/sr-en...

We're looking for folks who:

Literally every individual thing you wrote is wrong.

1. Suicide rate doesn’t “measure death from mental illness.”

2. The suicide rate isn’t “the death rate from mental illness.” (See #1)

3. What do you even mean by “we are doing a bad job”? Who is “we” there? Also, this “conclusion” you’re drawing is supported only by nonsense predicates (see #1 & #2).

4. The “mental health profession” isn’t responsible for moderating the suicide rate. Also literally every mention you make of “mental health profession” is fallacious because the suicide rate is not an actual metric for evaluating the efficacy of the “mental health profession”, so even addressing anything you’re saying about “measuring how good of a job the mental health profession is doing” would be legitimizing a nonsensical claim. This one covers how pretty much everything else you wrote here is wrong.
> 4x10 shifts are not a new concept.

This sort of argument sounds like a red herring.

It's irrelevant if a company pioneers exploitative working conditions. What's relevant is that the company is imposing exploitative working conditions.

Isn't the whole point of society to ensure everyone has the right to a decent living? Why are we arguing about the virtues of forcing a Dickensian work cycle?
How is that the case? The first anecdote is someone with only glancing knowledge of the people taken to the mental health facility. They pick them up, probably on a very bad day, and drop them off without seeing evidence of wrongdoing. What evidence would they see? A mustachioed doctor twirling his mustache and laughing maniacally? By contrast, the other anecdote has intimate knowledge of an individual affected by the system for the course of their involvement with it.

I don't think either anecdote is compelling, but I do think it is wrong to weigh one as greater than the other.

Reverse mode AD can always get into situations where it needs to store original values (i.e. network state).

One advantage, however, of doing a more whole-program approach to AD rather than individual operators is that one might be able to avoid caching values unnecessarily. For example if an input isn't modified (and still exists) by the time the value is needed in the reverse pass, you don't need to cache it but can simply use the original input without a copy.

And yes PyTorch/TF tend to perform a (limited) form of AD as well, rather than do numerical differentiation (though I do think there may be an option for numerical?)

I wouldn't really position a tool like Enzyme as a competitor to PyTorch/TF (they may have some better domain-specific knowledge after all), but rather a really nice complement. Enzyme can take derivatives of arbitrary functions, in any LLVM-based language rather than the DSL of operators supported by PyTorch/TF. In fact, we built a plugin for PyTorch/TF that uses Enzyme to import custom foreign code as a differentiable layer!

It is well known that antidepressants, especially SSRIs and SNRIs, will often make the depression symptoms worse during the onboarding period (~2-6 weeks) before the symptoms become alleviated. I'd say this was a failure on your doctor's part for not indicating and emphasizing that.

It also depends on the medication as people have different reactions to different medications, even if they're in the same family of drugs (e.g. SSRI, SNRI, etc.). Some people will have the side effect you mentioned (e.g. suicidal ideation), but feel much better than before the medication after a few weeks. Those same people may not feel any difference on a different medication, even on the highest dosage, and never feel any improvements. Then there's a wide range of reactions in between. Unfortunately, it often takes a while to find the right medication for someone and the journey to do so is rarely pleasant.

This is one of the hardest things about psychiatric pharmacology. There's no go-to medication because you're trying to alleviate symptoms for something that you don't know the exact mechanisms involved (i.e. everyone's brain is different and a "chemical imbalance" or the cause of it in one person isn't the same as another's, even if their symptoms are the same).

With all of that said, I'd definitely recommend attempting cognitive-behavioral therapy before going to medication as a supplement or alternative to CBT, especially if the depression is mild/moderate. For those with severe depression (like me), however, they may not have the motivation/drive/confidence to consistently see a therapist. In those cases, medication might alleviate the symptoms enough for them to do so, which is what happened in my case. Although I don't continue CBT, mostly due to time constraints, I still take anti-depressants to maintain what I've climbed out of so far.

None of this even mentions those with severe, treatment-resistant depression in which the only relief they get is maybe from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The former sometimes doesn't work and the latter's effectiveness tends to range from months to weeks and dependent on specific pulse train protocols for those cases.
As someone who grew a startup to a successful innovation consultancy, i can give you few tips.

1.Network as much as u can
Networking is the core of every successful career and essential activity for every startup CEO. Your company is probably young and unknown, so every new contact can contribute to spreading the word. There’s no point in leading a company if you don’t have a network of people from the industry.

LinkedIn is probably the most common way to do it. Follow people from your industry, engage with them, and share details about your product. Invite them to give you critics and opinions that will help you lead the business and improve your product.

2.Don’t quit after the first failure
Having a startup means taking risks. And taking risks means being prepared to fail. And you’ll fail many times before you finally find the right recipe for success. What’s important is to believe in your product and don’t quit after the first obstacle.

For example, in the beginning, Instagram was nothing like what it is today. It wasn’t even called Instagram, it was called Burbn. Burbn was an app where people could check-in where they were at. However, Foursquare, an app that was doing pretty much the same thing, was pretty popular at the time, so the founders realized this product wasn’t going to work. That’s when they saw that people liked Burbn’s photo-sharing option, so they decided to focus on it, which was the real idea for success.

3.Co-create
You might think your product idea is great, but you’re not your customer. Your customers might have different needs than yours. To find out what are their needs, use co-creation. Co-creation is a model that allows companies to engage with their customers in order to create a product that will meet their needs. You could use crowdsourcing techniques, like hackathons and makeathons to collect fresh ideas, or design thinking – a method that solves complex problems by understanding human needs. Using co-creation will result in reduced costs, better market insights, and better product design.
Color preferences are strange. Their is a slight fuzziness to the color contrast on dark mode, but for me it just reads more like a natural grain, compared to the light modes strict contrast being more obviously digital.

> Newspapers and cable both heavily rely on ads ... Cryptocurrencies seem like it technically could work, but I don't see that happening.

Because of the fundamental asymmetry in the law: advertising+tracking don't require AML/KYC, cryptocurrencies (mostly) do.

If your users pay you with their attention or tracking data, you're not required to verify their identities, ask them if they're terrorists, store copies of their passports in some hacker-magnet database, or any of that.

If your users pay you with cryptocurrencies you have to do all of that.

The problem isn't a business problem or a technological problem, it's a regulatory problem. This outrageous double standard is massively subsidizing the adtech-surveillance monster. Require AML/KYC be performed on users before ads can be shown to them, and if ads are shown or data collected without AML/KYC, impose the same "corporate death penalty" allowed for AML/KYC failures. Or else eliminate AML/KYC for cryptocurrencies.

There is a time bomb in there and servers will kick you out regularly unless you have updated.

> Why shouldn't people who post in the wrong place get a generic message?

Because people aren't clairvoyant and it is reasonable to assume that people that post stuff on GitHub accept issues, just like the main Signal account does. The generic message, without original clarity in how to note an issue, is easy to interpret as being ignored. Especially as they had a false positive ban being flagged as spam. I understand Signal's pov and I understand DuckSoft's. I think Signal has the higher responsibility in clarity than some random person trying to note a flaw they found.

Look, you can like Signal and still think they made the wrong move. I've used it every day for years and converted the majority of my friends. No one expects Signal to be perfect.
It's absolutely not required, I assure you. If you run the Python binary inside the venv you have the same environment as if you'd activated the venv, but only for that execution and not affecting your shell. Try making a venv, running python, and looking at sys.path.
This is one of the most insightful Q&A's about Steve that I've read. I especially appreciated the part about the risers for the gumdrop iMacs not working perfectly smoothly: he was pissed even though the audience couldn't possibly see the stuttering risers and even though the keynote was successful.

One might think Steve Jobs was an arrogant, perfectionist prick. But you realize in this small story, that the whole keynote could have been torpedoed, could have gone sideways and been ridiculed, if those mechanical risers had failed. The big moment for this product that could (and did) save the company, might have been a laughable sad trombone even though Steve had warned Wayne that it was a problem that needed to be fixed.

The work of hundreds of people, and hundreds of millions of dollars, were pitted against shitty mechanical hand-cranks -- that's why small details matter, and why Steve was pissed.
