I think you’re missing the point.

My thesis, perhaps not well stated: depression and anxiety are linked to a flight/fight, motivation system that isn’t well tuned to a world completely free of any actual risk.

Thesis handily answers your last questions and others.

> Sometimes depression and/or anxiety is like having a hundred of events like that a day and not time to get back up.

Yes, because in the absence of actual struggle in life, things like getting up start to look hard. Without seeing actual hardship, non-hardships look difficult.

This is conceptually related to the concept of hedonic adaptation. If you were to take someone who is actually struggling and put them in the shoes of a depressed, privileged westerner, they would be overjoyed. Someone who has never known struggle or threat may not realize how happy they should be. Gratitude journaling is another strategy that is very successful.

>> The output of a machine simply does not qualify for copyright protection

> "Simply"? If it were that simple, surely that would mean that the output of the Unix "cp" program would not qualify? What about a DVD copier?

It means that the output of "cp" does not qualify for copyright protection as a derivative work. The output is still a copy of the input and would be subject to the same copyright as that input.

Roughly, a derivative work is a new work that incorporates some copyrightable elements from a previous work. The derivative work gets its own copyright separate from the copyrights of those incorporated elements.

As of now it is difficult to find any significant damage that is not actually the result of direct human mismanagement that they try to blame on climate change.

Edit: no, not climate change. Things like diverting water and pumping wells dry, planting the wrong trees and preventing small fires that leads to huge fires, for example.
If you are working on some application that uses cryptography, don't ever use these as a generator for random numbers.

If you are working on some other application you should first start with a cryptographic secure pseudo random number generator. Perhaps, they are too expensive for your application and you might have to switch to something else.

In digging into whether the hive/hivemind is one robot or many, and whether our gut bacteria are part of us, Tom has basically stumbled into the illusion of the self as a distinct thing from the rest of reality.

The idea that we all have (numerical) personal identities, and not merely qualitative identities, is very appealing to most people. I think that's the largest reason the concept of a soul or individual spirit is so widespread - we want to be able to create a hard-line division between us and the rest of reality. But that division is imaginary.

Whether we consider it to be one robot or many, or whether we consider our gut bacteria to be part of us or not should then be a matter of pragmatic semantics. Instead of asking "is the division there/real?" we should ask "is this imaginary division useful?".

For the case of the hive/hivemind, I think it might make more sense for a repair technician, for instance, to think of each physical unit as a separate robot, but a developer for the hivemind might find it more useful to think about the whole system as a single entity.
I understand using squash. I still never groked the use of rebase. Why not just merge the changes together? Is it just "I want fewer total commits in my history" and disagreeing on the value of seeing what happened in parallel?
Generally speaking - probably yes. That’s because the output would be (a) transformative and (b) not likely to affect the profitability of the original work (at least not directly).

Note: I’m not really trying to comment specifically about the code/movie examples - just the general notion that the more input there is (from different sources), the likelihood that the use will be considered “Fair Use” increases.

> Such an attack is impossible in PoS, because unlike mining chips, acquiring enough staking tokens is simply impossible for sufficiently distributed coins - there isn't enough for sale and most owners are anonymous, making sanctions unenforceable.

This is only true in the absence of software bugs. In the presence of buggy node software, a worm can spread through the network, compromising all the private staking keys. In this way the whole network can be subverted by gaining access to secret information (private keys). This attack is not possible with PoW.

There's many companies who release source code. I don't know enough to say if that makes the word "most" in your sentence false or not.

Anyways, a company using GPL code need not release all their own code. Just their modifications to that particular GPL program. And then again, only if they do intend to distribute the modified program.

As an engineer, I have always wanted to quantify the effect of PR. The PR people I spoke to often says it is hard to measure, occupying mindshare, "upper" funnel, yada yada. Some may offer number of publicity as a measuring stick. Would love to learn what other "more useful" metrics are out there.
1)Yes, with a caveat. 2)There are no other ways.

There are no other ways because we humans are story machines. Among the many things we do, we consume stories and produce stories and that makes up our inner world. Story require words. Talking. Assisted self-talk would be therapy. There are no sustainable ways to soothing but words. Unsustainable are the use of supplements such as magnesium glycinate (to calm the mind), etc. All roads lead to self-talk. Therapy and Mg could be used as crutches to better self-talk. That written, self-talk should not be talked about without caveat.

The caveat is this: Self-talk can only change within your mind if you can conceptualize another kind of self-talk. Like a fellow answered your question, expanded awareness is key to make space in your mind, space for another self-talk. There is this technique called the Alexander technique whose purpose is expand your awareness. By expanding your awareness, by being able to think and feel those negative feelings and thoughts and think positive ones at the same time and gently steering your mind towards the positive you can achieve a new status quo in your mind. This require words and there also is non-verbal aspect to it. Words can come in the way of feelings if they are not embodied. For example, when you tell yourself "I want to..." or "I should not..." yet behave not as the words suggest, then that means you are not embodying your words. Also, self-talk ideally as a time component attached to it. Which is where it gets a lot of strength.

"I don't like this. (awareness of the current experience) But, it is necessary to get what I want (expansion of awareness, to include a desirable future). Therefore, this pain is a sign I am making desirable progress! (new self-talk)"

Whichever road you take at the beginning, therapy, supplements, meditation, etc, know the destination you seek is better self-talk. Embodied self-talk with a time component. Also please remember, the brain takes time to create new pathways. You might be able to achieve perfect embodied self-talk with a time component, but only consistency will make it easier and eventually automatic.

Show HN: Introducing SuView
Hi HN,

My name is Pete and I'm the founder of SuView (https://suview.io). We allow you to build architecture diagrams which are interactive, allowing your team to discover the information that they need. We believe our approach to describing systems results in a really powerful tool as you will have all of your design decisions in one place, providing essential context which is often missing in static infrastructure diagrams.

If you design and collaborate with SuView, you will build towards an essential documentation resource which your team will thank you for.

All SuView diagrams are declared as a simple JSON document meaning that they render perfectly with no need for tedious curation.

If you're interested, please take a look at our marketing site (https://suview.io), our announcement blog post (https://blog.suview.io/introducing-suview.html) or our documentation (https://docs.suview.io).

We'd really love to hear your thoughts and questions.
The idea of a simulation is essentially equivalent to religious idea of transcendence, just repacked in scientistic terms. You get another world, a creator, perhaps a meaning of life, perhaps even scientistic mind/body dualism (after all, our minds could be running different hardware than the rest of the simulation!).

Of course, it is as useless a model of the world for scientific purposes as all religions are - it can't explain anything that we don't already know about.

In fact, it's not even novel. The whole idea is quite similar to the Hindu notion of Māyā, the world we experience as an illusion that hides the real truths of the world.
Not just academia. Google is jarringly restrictive in who they hire. If you haven't memorized the Data Structures textbook, you can't even talk to a recruiter. I've been pretty successful without even glancing at that book (since most business domain data structures aren't complex).

Now...I have improved my knowledge of complex data structures like graph traversal, but it's rare this knowledge is needed in every day business-oriented development.
Mass processing, repackaging and then selling the data is an exploitative business these multi-billion companies run without paying anything to the people who produced the data.

This is wrong and should be stamped out.

I can't listen to music and sleep or do anything even vaguely productive. It just takes over. It feels more like an addiction to music than something that adds value to my life.

I agree that Chesa is a much bigger problem, but Prop 47 is still a problem too.
Avoiding personal suffering is not necessarily anyone's #1 priority in life. I don't think it's a reflection on one's intelligence whether or not they suffer, as suffering could be a cost paid for a higher purpose they've prioritized. Of course, it could be a cost of stupidity as well.
I like the spirit of this but for dealing with multiple clusters, kubectx is pretty standard, always returns highlighting where you are and we don't have to type in the cluster name in every command. Also avoiding "kubectl delete" seems such a narrow case, I can still delete with "k scale --replicas=0" and possibly many other ways; at this point you are better of with a real RBAC implementation.
> your only way to feed that proprietary code into it would be to upload it to github, which would make you an infringer

Somebody has to do it. Someone ready to take one for the team (or better yet, already skilled in software piracy, so that it's not a big deal for them). Then, if this argument holds, everyone gets the result in public domain.

As I see it, the argument presented in this post essentially makes Copilot to be an universal copyright laundering machine. Not just for code, but for anything that can be represented digitally.

Obviously this won't stand. While I can see Github ending up protected from all liability, the only way for this to not kill copyright is for the users of Copilot to become at risk of copyright infringement. Which kills the whole value proposition of Copilot.

That's a great resource in general for Python extensions, but doesn't have much to say about packaging and distributing them. For that the best resources I've found have been to look at what large/complex projects that use them do, as they've often had to deal with many of the odd cases that often come up.

Using Cython adds another layer of complexity to the packaging/distribution that that link does not address. Fortunately now that you can specify build requirements in `pyproject.toml` Cython has become significantly easier to use on that front, but there are still some less than obvious bits to say the least.

Maybe I should publish an overview of Python best practices for publishing C extensions (with or without Cython).
We accept (quality) patches and contributions from people who have completed the necessary paperwork to put their patches/contributions in the public domain. This restriction is in place so that that SQLite itself can remain in the public domain.

If we accept drive-by patches from anonymous users, then SQLite would have to be relicensed as GPL or similar, which would undermine many of its use cases.

Just using the journal template and looking only for compilation errors does not produce particularly good results. If I am preparing something for a journal like Quantum, where I am in charge of typesetting my work, it would take me a day or so to ensure figures are well placed and margins are not weird (in other words, not simply make it compile, but make it compile without warnings (not errors)). Most scientists do not care about the warnings latex emits as long as it compiles, and the results are ugly papers. I find it reasonable to pay $1000 to someone to take care of that processing (if they do a good job at it, which APS's and Nature's journals do).

It has been eye opening to me to view the universe as a dualism. It will certainty strike you down without a second thought, but at the same time we are provided a space in this time to flourish. If we act good, then good gets multiplied. This is the Egyptian idea of holding a whip in one hand and shepherd's crook in the other. The universe is both a punisher and a Sheppard king.

Robinhood's model is different from the rest of the trading firms. Since they take ownership and find a liquidity maker post-trade, it would make them particularly adept at handling crypto trades that have very large spreads. Think of them as an additional vampiric layer ontop of retail trades instead of charging for each trade. They'll soon be eating coinbases massive lunch. I'll definitely invest in them, even if they are a shitty company.

The modern era of investment is kinda weird.

Lets widen this a bit (possible slight hyperbole ahead, but generally this is my feeling now):

It is more the rule than the exception that any service using AIs are less usable than the previous solution. That is, unless you think about how usable they are to extract money from gullible investors or for making laughing stock of their users and/or developers.

In fact I while I'm certain they exist I cannot right now come up with a single product that I use for anything other than fun or creativity (games, painting) that have been improved by recent AI additions.

Thinking of it maybe maybe Google Translate qualifies, but that depends on how you define recent.

Oh, and by the way maybe there is something that qualifies as AI in some of the new translation web applications I've seen recently.
