I don't understand - what is wrong with condensing the python representation `sum_of_lambda_for_each_psi` to `Σλ∀φ`? It seems that 4 symbols is much quicker and easier to read than a slew of snake case stuff.

What happens to people’s money during inflation when that money is tied up in stocks or mutual funds rather than in savings? Does the inflation affect the stock prices, and partially protect you from the inflation?
You got any evidence of that?

'get a trainer' is proxy for 'get a form check', which is fair advice to prevent long term injury.

There are many beginner friendly lifting resources online, and communities who will help you review videos of your lifts without needing a specific trainer.
I would respectfully disagree. We have that Dyson, about the same age. The basic (plastic) engineering is very clever, but I think also made to fail in the long haul, in ways that can't be fixed. That's what has happened to ours over the years: it still sort-of-kind-of functions, but suction is terrible, various clips and mating profiles no longer really engage fully...

Last month, I decided to go all in on a Miele. Time will tell if the incredible expense turns out to be worth it in the long run. It is WAY easier to use in most situations that our Dyson.
I'm in the lucky situation that locally I can transfer instantaneously or nearly so across all of Europe and internationally I use bitcoin for recipients in places where banking fees are too high or the transfers too slow. It's a good combination.

Did you have any MRIs that showed actual damage? That’s the boat I’m in. I’ve tried a lot of things and nothing has worked so far. I’m happy to give another book a shot, but everything else I’ve read so far has not been applicable.
Unfortunately that part about Animal Farm a lot gets lost in translation. Snowball and Napoleon specifically mimic ideas of Trotsky and Stalin. Many people take it as a criticism of leftism, I heard it a lot, but Orwell died still a party member of a socialist party.
I don't know about three decades ago but this type of payment has been ubiquitous in the UK for at least two in the form of Direct Debit and widespread across Europe for years now via SEPA.

It is not just much cheaper than card payments, it is also dramatically more reliable. If you lived in a parallel universe where all of these payment methods had emerged at once and you described a payment method so unreliable that people would actually give a name to the hack of retrying each failed charge automatically, they would think you were joking.

Ironically, despite in theory having a more generous reversal policy to protect consumers from fraud, these direct payment methods are also much less likely to result in inappropriate reversals that harm legitimate merchants, at least in our experience. Perhaps this is because banks will typically only reverse in cases of real fraud whereas card chargebacks are widely abused to commit fraud themselves or applied inappropriately as a blanket measure after an event like a stolen or lost card, and the incentives favour granting the refunds even if the customer just says for the flimsiest of reasons that they want their money back.
It's almost like product placement has been a thing for a long time now.

>The popularity of Microsoft’s Surface is the least realistic thing on TV

Although sometimes these deals blow up in memorable ways.

>Microsoft has had some high profile flubs with its Surface product placement. During election coverage in 2014, CNN pundits were set up behind a row of Surfaces but were spotted surreptitiously using iPads. A partnership with the NFL backfired when Patriots coach Bill Bellicheck blasted them for being “undependable” in 2016.
Good question! I can't find a truly authoritative source, but a few calculations on the web put photon flux at the earth's surface at 10^21/m^2/s, give or take. Assuming your thumbnail is one square centimeter, that would be 10^17 photons per second, or 100,000,000,000,000,000, but only during the day :)
Exactly my thought as well. I actually find it surprising that we haven't seen more assassination attempts using customer-grade drones, I guess the tech isn't quite suitable yet.

I would say that "dismissing" something as psychosomatic is the type of "oh it's all in your head" bullshit that, yes, has happened far too much in the history of ailments like CFS (and still happens today, I'm sure). And I'm completely against that.

But at the same time, I know people with CFS who refuse treatment like CBT, antidepressants, counselling, getting more regular exercise, on the grounds that it must be a viral/bacterial infection, or genetic, or autoimmune. Those things are all possible and should be researched - but so should the idea that it's partly or largely a mental illness. And there may well be physical dysregulation - that can be caused by the brain in many ways.

No, but clients do advertise how much of the torrent they have, so you can glance at your peer list and if you have 2 peers stuck at 10%... there's a good chance that you won't get more than 10%.
Definitely an amazing piece of design. The electronics/digital part can be a little unreliable on heavily used machines, but the mechanical part is sublime and so robust.
Possibly, but spreading faster is much more deadly than being more deadly - at least for a disease that already starts at a high death rate like Covid does.

This happens because living sick people help spread the disease, while dead people don't.
Am I the only one who doesn't see this as a binary choice? I've written SQL for decades and I still like ORMs for most scenarios because:

1. I always check the SQL being generated

2. I profile the SQL being generated to ensure that the indices are being used optimally

3. I only fetch what I need and try to reduce trips to database

4. Most of the time, this is good enough and helps reduce boilerplate.

5. Sometimes, after doing the above, I see that the ORM isn't upto the task - then I just drop to SQL and get exactly what I want the way I want it. The ORM doesn't block me from doing so.
I haven't read the book, but am familiar with the story. The pain origins don't need to be "psychosomatic" for the mind to override it; the pain may be real.

The back surgeon interviewed patients long after back surgery. They reported some help, but some pain / discomfort remained. He looked at Xrays of painful vs pain-free, & found Xrays looked very similar. That's when he started teaching 'pain management'.

IMHO teaching 'pain management' would be helpful for all. Could prevent some surgeries, but even if they got corrective surgery, the self-help management could still prove useful.
Flux dev here. There's Transformers.jl which has prebuilt transformers built on top of Flux. While the package does change, we have been more careful about ensuring we don't break code all that often.
This treatment is based on the work of Dr John Sarno - who I first heard of here on HN almost 10 years ago. And of all the wonderful things I’ve discovered on HN, Dr Sarno’s work is probably the one that’s had the biggest positive impact on my life.

When I first heard about his approach to chronic pain, I was pretty skeptical. But I’d tried everything else to solve my debilitating RSI, and nothing else had worked despite only being in my early 20s, so I was willing to give it a try. 6 months later, I was back working pain-free after being out of action for 2 years.

As patmcc mentions, people can be incredibly reluctant to believe that physical pain can have psychological causes. And in many cases, there are underlying physical issues, so this should certainly not be your first approach to treatment. But if you’ve tried everything and nothing works, I encourage you to take a look at Sarno’s work. It made a world of difference for me and for many others.
The way I see Julia now is how I saw python ~12 years ago
So a bunch of professors get together and decide that if students have issues with their (extremely expensive) education it’s the result of pathological cognitive distortions. They’re weaponizing CBT against people below them in the status hierarchy. Employers do this stuff too. If you’re not a good enough cog for the machine it’s a flaw in your psyche.
>No, it should be equal.

Okay, what is the consistent testing/diagnostic methodology that accurately measures stress and psychosomatic impact across patients?

Typically it is going to be a diagnosis of exclusion. If you think you're diagnosing someone with stress/psychosomatic causes before comprehensive testing, imaging and/or specialists visit have been done, then you're jumping the gun, and potentially adding further stress to the patient as they try to follow a regimen that has little effect at helping their condition.

I was not aware of the Stanford CFS clinic drama.
So essentially they found an old dkim key which had been exposed and used that?

I love Kroger's natural peanut butter (ingredients: peanuts,salt) for $1-$2/lb. It's amazing to me that the hydrogenated crap is more expensive, and the name brand natural stuff is more expensive still!
We are facing quite aggressive space limitation at FBA warehouses. And we are not alone... Meaning Amazon can't sell fast enough to free up warehouse space. I wonder if the pendulum moving to the other end, meaning we have too much stuff with significantly decreased consumption... For what it is worth, we are going to decrease order sizes for now.
Same, though I did not hear about Dr Sarno from HN. Healing Back Pain is an incredible book. It is sad to see so many people who are close to me suffering from back pain spinning their wheels to find relief -- surgery after surgery, chiropractor after chiropractor. The connection between the experience of pain and the psychological dynamics that Dr Sarno elucidates is so critically important. I recommend his book to everyone who experiences persistent back pain.
ZFS. Complete research companies unknowingly depend on the utmost reliability and flexibility ZFS has to offer. Started right with the first version included in FreeBSD in production use and never failed once while being the central storage connected to multiple HPC clusters with millions upon millions of rather small but also some vary large files. While offering five nines of uptime we even had to ability to send efficient binary forever incremental differential snapshots to remote DR locations. Meanwhile we saw many large crashed sites at companies which had downtimes of weeks using lustre. ZFS even got hated by management because it's not giving them fancy relationships with the normies using HP/Dell. So the last ten years are probably the best ZFS got here because some instructed architect is looking for commercial replacement but nothing better seems available.
It reminded me of my experience at a Japanese Onsen (hot spring) last week. While entering the Onsen, the sliding door is automated and slides to open on it’s own. While exiting, the automated sliding doesn’t work. It has handles with no indication of pull or push or slide. The design of handles suggest most probably pull. I kept trying to pull/push with no movement. Finally, realized I am supposed to use those handles to slide the door left and right. That was one funky design, imo.
Let's adopt patio11's criteria to a programmable public blockchain, like ethereum

- Customer UX: crypto wallets built into browsers and phones. Connect your wallet to any webpage to pay. Or, tap your phone to pay via a crypto payment

- Certainty: crypto transactions are, by default, instant and irreversible. Any kind of chargeback scheme, refund policy, or time-delay may be built into the crypto app layer

- Settlement time: per previous remark, crypto transactions settle instantly on a global basis, unless a slower speed is built into the app layer

- Reversibility: again, crypto transactions are irreversible by default, and any kind of reversibility scheme or policy may be built into the app layer

Doubters or critics of ethereum's ability to handle global-scale payments may find the following items to be of interest:

- Scale: ethereum has adopted a rollup scaling architecture where separate physical networks settle on ethereum. These separate networks are known as rollups aka Layer-2s aka L2s aka execution layers,. Some of the most important L2s are Arbitrum, Optimism, StarkNet, zkSync 2.0, and Miden. These L2s will help grow ethereum to billions of daily active users

- Cost: ethereum's rollups may be expected to be cheap enough for everyone in the world, especially using a technology known as "zero-knowledge rollups with off-chain data"

- Environmental impact: ethereum is five and a half years into a six-year upgrade to completely eliminate any negative environmental impact. Ie. Ethereum will stop using proof of work mining
JMAP is an alternative protocol to IMAP while EmailEngine is basically a proxy. If you want to build a new Outlook or Thunderbird you probably have to connect to email servers directly and speak IMAP or JMAP. If you want to easily integrate a lot of email accounts with your existing system and only care about basic info (like notifications about new emails etc) then EmailEngine is easier to use as it handles all the hard work itself.
Will this suffer from the usual payment restrictions imposed by PayPal/Stripe?
Sorry but I just disagree. A game that is free to play and where every item is bought and can be sold later for a higher price doesn't stop being fun and engaging just because people can sell what they bought when they feel like they don't wanna play anymore. The idea that there absolutely need to be people who are buying things without the intent of ever selling them isn't what would stop from making it a "ponzi scheme". Like I said, people sharing in the success (and failure) of a company's valuation is not a ponzi scheme.

>and the profit needs to be in part redistributed to the community.

This already happens through the token's increase in value. The notion that this redistribution can ONLY happen if there are money sinks in the system is misguided and old fashioned.
Someone once quipped that modern men's razors are just worse versions of women's razors. I'm inclined to believe it.

My dad has been fighting cancer for the past 13-ish years. He recently told me that he's expected to live another six months or so because he has ran out of treatment options. Though we've known for most of these past years that his cancer is terminal, I feel like him telling me the news set something off inside of me.

Starting shortly after the time of hearing this news, I started to feel subtle, hard-to-pinpoint discomfort near my tailbone & perineum (sorry, TMI). I went to the doctor multiple times, had all types of exams and scans, but everything was coming back as "normal". My symptoms got worse as weeks went on, and I became incredibly anxious, though I was not able to recognize it as "anxiety".

At the peak of all this I found myself having what I would assume was an anxiety or panic attack. I could not control my breathing, started sweating, feeling like I was about to pass out. My wife was able to calm me down by helping me breath. I would break down crying on the phone trying to schedule doctors appointments (I'm 30 years old). I was unable to sleep at all for several days in a row even though I felt completely exhausted. Had to take time off (Incredibly thankful for coworkers/managers who were understanding) Chest pain, digestive issues, etc.

It's been a weird few months, but I finally think (hopefully) I am starting to get back to my "normal" self. The experience has taught me at least a couple things:

- Mental / emotional heath is something that is taken for granted. Now I have a new perspective on the importance of trying to maintain it and want to be understanding toward others.

- I think some (all?) of my symptoms were definitely related to what was going on in my life, and how things played out as I tried to fix them. This is hard for me to wrap my head around, but really I have found no other logical explanation.
That’s where folks are revealing how clueless they are.

Yes, the doctor should explore all possible causes with the patient. Tests can be done, and the doctor can also discuss stress. That is generally how it is done. Quite often in these cases there will be no final diagnosis.
When discussing Europe, you can't leave out the rise of mobile payments that work similar to India's UPI.

For instance, in Sweden, "Swish"[0] has quickly taken over the market for casual payments, with free, instant, irreversible bank transfers between individuals using only the recipients phone number (or a QR code).

They are a bunch of these systems, but currently they are all fractured into national systems, although work has started on adding interoperability[1]

My own preference would be for the pmOS project to pick a target subset of the devices on the Community and (perhaps) Testing lists. These would be chosen for a combination of criteria. For example (ducking):

- How close are their ports to being complete?

- Are they based on the aarch64 architecture?

- How many of them are economically available?

- How easy will it be to install pmOS on them?

With this subset defined, the project could focus on making these devices available to relatively naive users. There could be FAQs and HowTos for installation and setup, specific forum and wiki pages, etc. The knowledge gained in this sprint could help the project to develop an approach for the greater, long-haul effort.

You say "crystal healing doesn't work and people shouldn't try it." Why not? Aren't you being closed-minded? How is crystal healing any worse than any other scientifically unsupported remedy?
Yeah, and while current peer % is useful, it doesn't answer the other user question of "What percent of this thing has been seen anywhere recently?"

Which seems a pretty reasonable question for a user to have, if we're talking about fully decentralized torrents without a tracker.
Although I appreciate the results of this study, there's a big misconception in here about Cognitive Distortions:

> Cognitive distortions are errors in reasoning resulting from negative intuitive thoughts that are not evidence-based (Burns, 1980; Covin et al., 2011).

This is not true. Cognitive Distortions are (a) not errors in themselves, and (b) usually do have lots of evidence for them.

Take, for example, the Cognitive Distortion of Fortune Telling. In a CBT session, it typically applies to a thought like "I'm going to fail this test." Well, that thought might not be erroneous — you very well might fail. And there is probably plenty of evidence for it — you might have done poorly on your homework, or you might be behind on studying, or you might not know the answers to questions on a practice test.

The issue with a Cognitive Distortion is not that it is erroneous, nor that it lacks evidence. The issue is that it makes you depressed, anxious, scared, and unable to function. In CBT, if you think that you will fail a test, you naturally start to feel anxious, frightened, and lose morale, and get really sad — after all, you think you are about to fail! It's pretty scary to fail. You start thinking about what's going to happen when you fail. All these actions actually prevent you from studying dutifully for the test and doing better on it.

We need to stop thinking of people using Cognitive Distortions as being irrational. In actual practice, we all have Cognitive Distortions (like Fortune Telling) in most of our thoughts. They are little shortcuts that we use all the time to get by, because we can't think infinitely about everything, so we use shortcuts that explain the evidence as best we can. The problem is that we can sometimes get stuck in depressive loops on deeply distorted thoughts.

In other words: a distortion by itself is not bad; but if you are doing bad, you are probably in a distortion.

So it's no surprise that people who are fragile, who feel any thought or statement could trigger them into a dangerous panic attack, tend to have distortions in their thinking.

Another way to put this is that people who are depressed and anxious are likely to be emotionally fragile and need restricted safe-spaces of speech in order to avoid being triggered into an anxious loop.

The problem is that we're letting college students, and the public at large, become depressed, anxious, and lonely. Our mental health is suffering a psychic epidemic, as Carl Jung put it. Getting mad at overly restrictive safe-spaces doesn't help. We need to cure the depression, and heal each other's psyches. Calling people irrational isn't going to help. We need to listen to each other, love one another, and heal and grow our way out of this, by caring for each other as individuals and mending each other's minds. We have to do this in love.
> . I don’t know what exactly happened to my computer but I suspect malware.

Yes, that's very plausible.

> Have the trust issues improved?

If you're retrieving executable code, the source giving you the magnet link is usually given some implicit trust. A good practice is to distribute a hash or better still a signature of the file(s). Though I would expect BitTorrent is designed to protect the shared contents' extents via hashes too.

If the content is some multimedia, then ideally it could be untrusted. Your favorite OS probably has much more robust libraries handling the multimedia content than it did a decade ago. But ultimately if the content distributed is infringing then it probably comes from a less trustworthy source. In which case you should have a different posture when handling these untrusted files than the generally untrusted interwebs content.
