Agreed on Frameless. I think Frameless was an experiment that didn't pan out. I don't think Scala 2 is capable of implementing a usable system that does what Frameless attempted to do (a typed data frame). Scala 3 might.

I find what most people mean when they say "simple" is really "familiar". When I first started teaching most programmers weren't familiar with first class functions and they were "complex". Now almost everyone has been exposed to them. Similarly I'm seeing more students are learning FP at university and thus find FP techniques "simple".

Ask HN: How do you deal with hobbies, etc., when you have diagnosed depression?
I have depression all of my life, i believe since 13, now i'm in my early 20s and i've been diagnosed by my ex-therapist with severe depression and anxiety. I started anti-depression meds over the last week but haven't seen any changes for the better.

Currently i'm living a very dark chapter of my life, and i can't do anything. Essentially i have anhedonia but also feeling guilty that i don't do anything. I want to do something like read a book, watch a movie, study for my degree, search for work, but my thoughts go directly to "It's pointless", "how reading a book will get you out of this mess, that's partly your fault?" (I appreciate that my depression doesn't put all the blame on me hahaha), "you will 100% fail", "you are broken and not like the others", "you can't defend yourself if someone is trying to abuse your rights." etc.

The only thing i do every day is go out and try to be surrounded by others in social settings all the time. It kinda relaxes me. Wake up -> staying in bed for hours browsing mindless things on SM -> go out and return early the next morning -> sleep. Repeat.

The difficult part is that my feelings enforce my thoughts and vice versa.
When I tried to write one, I couldn't find a way to do it at compile time without generics. You can do it before compile time with code generation, or after compilation by coding dynamic objects and end up with something like sqlalchemy, but I couldn't do it at compile time.

ent [1] is what I've been happiest with. It uses code generation, and has an extension system so you can generate your own custom code with the models. I've seen a GraphQL extension and a REST extension, but haven't used either enough to comment beyond that they were easy to set up. Took like 20 minutes and now all my models transparently get GraphQL endpoints.

So far I've been happy with it, but we'll see in a couple of years.

Look, these talking heads are simply well-paid entertainers - nothing more. All they spew is lies, propaganda and downplay the things that are really happening. Unfortunately they have a willing audience in the majority of Americans who cannot see through all the bullshit. I personally cannot recall when last I tuned in to any of the mainstream media outlets.

So I'd recommend that they be stripped of all of those protections and get the same punitive treatment that we, the People (we are the ones who pay taxes, BTW), get when we talk shit. Trust me, that'll make them sit up.
Legality of publishing leaked or stolen materials, is essential part of press freedom. So it will be an interesting case to watch to go through the US courts.

Recently James Okeefe was raided by the FBI. The reason was that he was given Ashley Biden's Diary (President Biden's adult daughter), and published things in it. He offered to return the diary to Ashley's Lawyers, but that would have authenticated it. The FBI raided him, which I suppose they would not do for a fictional diary.
But I think its fairly obvious journalists should be able to publish leaked information. Not so obvious who the FBI works for.

I'm guessing that's about to be tested in court.

The overarching question is at what point does a private citizen/activist become culpable. Developing technologies and social networks (old school kind, not facebook) which are explicitly designed to enable the stealing/leaking of state secrets would seem to be skirting pretty close to the line of "I'm just a private citizen/journalist." This is doubly true if said leaks end up putting military personnel and government assets in harms way.
it's almost like you didn't read my comment.

as i've said, long-term sequelae certainly exist - and they are different for covid probably.

i also have had long-term loss of smell and modification of taste after getting a breakthrough delta case.

that said, demographically (as well as by diversity of symptoms reported), it does appear that there is also a "CFS-like" disease population being super-imposed on top of those that are experiencing long-term sequelae. much of the conversation around long covid is also being funded by ME/CFS lobbying/patient advocacy groups [0].

i think there are two distinct phenomena, and the fact that women are over-represented as long covid patients may be due to the CFS-like phenomena rather than the sequelae one.

Because "we'll revoke your First Amendment rights if we don't like how you're using them" is a very big step on a very steep and very slippery slope.

This is not the end of the world -- he has not been convicted of any crimes in the United States; there is just sufficient prima facie evidence to warrant extradition.

I'm hopeful that in a trial he'll be able to mount an effective defense and that in the end we'll get a wonderful victory for free speech. I'm looking forward to being able to donate to his legal defense fund; I see that there are some gofundme things out there, but I worry they might be scams so I'm waiting until I see something more official to contribute.

Given his poor physical and mental health, however, that may not be in the cards; he may end up not making it to trial or compelled to accept a plea bargain for a lesser charge in order to put the matter to rest.

> That's a good question and I am not 100% sure where I would personally/morally draw the line.

What benefits or harms a country is orthogonal to what is factual. Any law that claims a moral high ground in protecting facts from being publicized, is used as a club to suppress speech. That is the moral issue, not some misguided idea that you are beholden to where and when you were born over reality to make statements. When you chase people after the fact (information is already published), you're doubling the moral insult. This isn't he ruin of the US, so it's transparently a petty vendetta.

There are practical problems (like state secrets in larger war games, ie Game Theory), which countries have historically forgone any nuance for the club, in the interest of expediency and simplicity. This isn't so complicated. Everyone understands. This is not a justification for totalitarian behavior, regardless of how dressed up the process is.

Entertainers have First Amendment rights, too.

If I feel your argument does that, do I get to revoke your rights?

> So I'd recommend that they be stripped of all of those protections and get the same punitive treatment that we, the People (we are the ones who pay taxes, BTW), get when we talk shit.

We, the People, are similarly protected by the First Amendment. Weakening it would impact us, too.
American “democracy” is a facade and none of these people work for you. They think of you as livestock. There isn’t any hope of this changing without challenging our corrupt government.
They pay taxes too. Direct cash payments are good, but they’re often mostly consumed by the administration. I don’t rely on the government to help the poor, lower taxes from government and direct cash from gofundme and other sites is the most efficient.
Before the "woke" people come out of their holes and try to bash this: The concept IS NOT to exclude women, the idea was to move to the most distant place possible, and to live a life far away from society, love, sex, etc. - something everybody should respect.

The resistance to modify an opinion in the face of contrary evidence is called cognitive conservatism

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism_(belief_revision)

Challenging a deeply held opinion whether with logic, examples, or facts only reinforces the prior held belief. Most typically this has nothing to do with perceptions of wrong, but rather negative social stature associated with ones beliefs called loss of face where on the other hand reinforcement results in positive social statue described as pride. The social repercussions of face and pride are dynamically and mutually reinforced within a social reference group.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(sociological_concept)

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride

Given these dynamics the best way to change a person's opinions is to provide a connection that benefits their presence within their social reference group whether by enhancing a person's perceived status within their group or by modifying/redefining the group. This line of thinking works the same whether you are selling soda or convincing people to join an underage sex cult.
It's a clue but not necessarily true. Being fat is also highly correlated with cardiovascular issues, and hypertension is apparently the worst comorbidity with covid.

I think a mostly vegan diet would probably be the best you can do as an individual to protect yourself from severe covid (aside from vaccination).
That’s what people like. If you make the AI know that those things are bad, you’ll be acting as big brother. Do we want the government or mega corp setting preferences?

For example, the American Heart Association promotes a high carb diet to those with heart issues. Sadly, evidence based medicine shows such a diet is bad. If the AI did as the AHA says and promoted a high carb diet, we’d have more heart issues in the country.

“Utility scores” and their close cousins “prior probability distributions” seem to me like a way for mathematically inclined brains to frame their decisions in “math” because anything else feels “irrational” and icky.

To me, it seems like the assignment of priors and utilities scores is mostly arbitrary in these types of personal decision-making applications. How does one arrive at a score of 40 and 80? Does the magnitude of the difference mean anything? What’s the range on utility?

If these are just random numbers plucked from thin air then how is utility different from a feeling which you can plug into some equations? How does saying one thing has 80 vs 40 utility mean anything other than “I feel a little better about this than that”?

And if utility is just a numerical representation of a feeling, how do the results of these equations produce anything that we can interpret?

Org babel is great, but it's emacs only. That's why it's not used much compared to Jupyter and others. Also, there is at least one thing that would make it better: Dependency analysis across blocks for automatic re-execution. Of course, that's probably non-trivial to do across every language that org-babel supports. Pluto does this for Julia, you can break it (I have) by using certain styles in the code block (making it hard for it to detect the use) but it is nice if you work with it.

org-babel is also nice even if you aren't doing interactive programming, though. I used it to dissect a complex (150k SLOC or so) C++ program that had piss poor "documentation" (auto-generated UML diagrams and similar garbage). By converting each file to a giant source block and then extracting portions I was able to make sense of it much faster than just reading the raw code. I also left the team with my full notes which amounted to a couple volumes worth of material (code + prose) in the end.

There are not easy questions to answer when you consider the difficulties of operating in war. Many times, people in those situations are moving on incomplete or even incorrect information and lives of their fellow soldiers hang in the balance.

No one is denying that income and wealth are distributed very unequally. But my point is that well more than 99.9% of individuals primarily earn money via labor and are therefore subject to an income tax, and so it isn't correct to assert that income taxes don't hurt the rich. They don't hurt the absolute richest individuals - but most people aren't defining "the rich" as only the top 0.05%.

I would love to understand why the fed hasn't increased interest rates to counter the rapid increase of inflation..?

I remember learning some basic economics in 2019 about how the U.S. learned a valuable lesson from 2008. How they will never make the same mistakes of letting inflation go unchecked because they have tools to work against it. Yet inflation has rapidly scaled to 6.8% (reported).
Also, I am keeping supply chain demand in mind but I don't think it excuses the fed's decision to not immediately start curbing high inflation rates. My guess is that people with money are profiting and want to continue profiting until it is no longer sustainable.
I think there's a small mismatch of expectations. A monastery is not generally a "life of study". There may be study and prayerful contemplation, but there is definitely labor, physical labor -- generally starting with some measure of agriculture -- as the community supports itself.

It's also still a society, a small one at least, a group life. It is likely to impose on you much more than society in general, though in different ways. If you prefer solitude, you may be looking to become a hermit, rather than a monk.

In a secular context: You might care about work, jobs, careers, and riches, is not for their own sake, but because the riches can support you in a life of study. With a million or two from tech you can buy a small house somewhere quiet and study there all you like.
