Alain de Botton has a book called "Religion for Atheists". His central point is that religions have gone through hundreds or thousands of years of cultural evolution and likely contain rituals and rules that benefit us even if the religion literally isn't true. Discarding religions because we don't literally think there's a bearded guy in the clouds watching over us is throwing away the baby with the bathwater.

That's more of a description of why Christianity is popular. Not every religion was big on charity, had a happy afterlife, or even particularly ethical gods.

I suspect a lot of the appeal is that people want some explanation for things, and the idea that anyone is running the show is comforting.

>A much more interesting (and harder) problem is creating good vectors to begin >with.

Indeed, this is the hardest problem. Vector search shines when used in-domain using deep representation learning, for example bi-encoders on top of transformer models for text domain.

However, these models does not generalize well when used out of domain as the representations changes. Hence, in many cases, simple BM25 beats most of the dense vector models when used in a different domain. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08663

Personally I've linked caffeine with anxiety. The more I take the more anxious I feel, particularly if I take caffeine a few days in a row. So now I'm only occasionally having some, like on weekends or on family holidays.
Part of the problem here is the vagueness of the term. Sometimes, diagnosing someone with "depression" is like diagnosing them with a headache - accurate, but not particularly clinically useful.

Lifestyle changes will help some depression, it will not help others. Generalizing from your own experiences is useful, but be very careful with how you present this to others.

Telling a chronically depressed person they just need to take a walk and eat some fruit is not just insulting, it's fodder for self-invalidating thoughts which can increase self-destructiveness.
Yes. 100%.
Designs of how the app is going to look. Sometimes these are even interactive, and convert to CSS.
Sometimes, yes.

However, in my experience, when you truly are clinically depressed, (1) you can't really force yourself to do anything good, and (2) even if you do something positive, you'll just get tired from trying to look like a functioning human being and may even feel worse.

In general, doing positive things do help, but only after you started medication and/or psychotherapy.
> usually they do not work out

I know a personal trainer with depression. <shrug> No silver bullets. I'm inclined to see these things as symptoms, although (if I may borrow more PT lingo) maladaptive behaviour from unrecovered injuries is also a thing. Pretty much every physio will tell you that a pain in muscle X is caused by a deficiency in supporting muscle Y. It's just that we have zero insight into the mutual support structure (if any!) inside the brain.

Careful management of your social group and obligations can turn you from a depressed person who does nothing into a depressed person who does things. Sometimes that's good enough. But antidepressants can definitely do more.
I would think the difference between a tax and a rent is that taxes only apply to the same piece of property once and rent applies over and over. If I'm paid a hundred thousand dollars I pay income tax on that once and after that I can keep it in a trunk until the end of time without anyone worrying about it. Whereas if I spend a hundred thousand dollars on a parcel of land the only thing stopping me from paying an infinite amount of "rent" (taxes) on it is the fact one day I'll drop dead and then someone else will start paying the infinite amount of rent on it. That property tax on a square foot of grass totals much less than rent on a square foot of apartment seems like a difference only in amount, not in fundamental nature.
Can you elaborate? I don't see how you would exploit Python with a string like that unless there's an `eval` somewhere in Python's logger? I wouldn't exactly put it past the language, for sure, but I'm not aware of that being the case.

The reason this works in the java library is that the library explicitly adds functionality to evaluate the strings that are passed in, and has a meta-language for computing based on those values.

In religion this is nothing new: it's known as hypocrisy, which is despicable because a hypocrite inevitably ends up exploiting true believers, taking advantage of their trust and goodwill. It's a well-studied phenomenon in religious literature (at least from what I know of Christianity and Islam). Tolstoy wrote much about the hypocrisy of the Orthodox leadership in the Russian Empire, and hypocrisy is a central theme of the Koran.

Religious people are well aware of the fact that many of their fellow practitioners (including leaders) do it for societal/family/community/health/power benefits without actually believing in any of the rhetoric. Hence the classic clergy child-abuser, for example. Talking about hypocrisy is not forbidden, rather it is necessary for a person to regularly question themselves to recognize hypocrisy and remain true to their beliefs. Someone who doesn't believe should leave, because otherwise they may inadvertently or knowingly turn into "a wolf in sheep's clothing".
I am aware of that. Yet I had my adolescence during a time where "bringing democracy" was cited as the goal of multiple US-led wars.

So understandably I was surprised when I realized the degree of misrepresentation going on in the US.
Until very recently Stromer was just about the only available e-Bike in the Netherlands that could reliably do to 45km/h,and thus quite popular. The retail prices for the 618/814/987 kWhr batteries are 1190/1650/1990, which to me indicates that the retail price is not at all related to any costs they make but that they are doing pure value pricing (whatever consumers are willing to pay). Their monopoly on proper speed pedelecs is rapidly coming to an end, so hopefully prices will soon get down to something more directly related to manufacturing costs.

It is already happening for normal e-bikes, where 3000+ used to be the starting range for a somewhat decent e-bike. This is currently about 2000+ but in a few years it will hopefully be possible to get a somewhat decent e-bike for 1000 - 1500.
No, and I often wish I did. The discipline of the constraint to logic is useful
What I mean with dopamine fasting is not giving in to the urge of a quick dopamine kick for a certain amount of time.

Say you feel the urge to play another round of a video game. You tell yourself "No, make a break". Now your brain replies "Ok, then let's eat some chocolate". You reply "No, let's not eat chocolate either". Now your brain replies "What? You said take a break from the GAME! Why not chocolate? Ok, then lets drink a coffee". Now you reply "We take a break from dopamine! No game, chocolate, coffee, beer etc! You understand?". Your brain "Damn. Ok. Grumble. Grumble.".

Then later in the day:

Your Brain: "I feel so good today. I wonder why?"

Depression is like a catchall term to represent symptoms that could have any number of causes, which is why treatment is very difficult and inconsistent from person to person.

A lot of the time the change in behavior is a coping mechanism rather than a cause for the depressive symptoms. They don't work out because they are so physically drained they can barely even muster up the energy to fulfill their responsibilities, or they become recluses because they believe their social connections aren't capable of supporting that level of vulnerability.

I suspect that it is more like the other way around, in that lifestyles incentivized in the developed world are rather poor at mitigating causes of depression, and by that I mean on a more fundamental, macro level instead of individual, which is why it has become so pervasive. For example, we have a fairly individualistic society, where many people have very shallow roots in their communities because of various causes of upheaval like immigration, education, employment. This makes it very difficult to get compassionate community support, which leaves mental healthcare workers to fulfill that position in a clinical manner.

My first day on the job at Boeing, in the 757 flight controls group, as a newly minted mechanical engineer, my lead engineer told me to "size the jackscrew". The jackscew is what drives the leading edge of the stabilizer up and down. If it fails, the airplane becomes uncontrollable.

I went back to my desk, stewed for a while, and panicked.

So I go back to Erwin, shamefaced, and said I had no idea how to size the jackscrew. He chuckled, and said "did they teach you column buckling in school?" I said sure. He said it's a column buckling problem. You know how to do it.

And sure enough, I did.

I agree with you and would include most or all Chromebooks I've experienced on that list. My experiences include the Acer C720, the Acer R11, the HP 11 (the white version that was recalled) the HP 14, and the original Chromebook Pixel laptop.

Maybe the HP14 was not quite as great as the rest although I think it was fine, while the Pixel experience was exceptional. I don't think it's a matter of a specific one, I think it's generally across the board a very solid to good experience.
Yes, in the following cases:

1. for non-trivial business logic which is confusing/unclear
2. when I need to explain or present it to others
3. when I need to explain it to myself (similarly to Rubber duck Debugging [1])
4. when starting working on a new codebase, especially if it's poorly-documented and/or legacy

Also, you don't need to create flowcharts for the entire program/application, only for the difficult parts. Likewise there is no need to document the non-functional parts, i.e. stuff done by the framework or common libraries.

BTW: flowcharts are less useful in general and can be easily replaced by pseudocode. IMO the most useful diagrams in Software Engineering are MSD (Message Sequence Diagrams), then Call Graphs [2] (sometimes can be created automatically with profilers/intrumentation/tracing tools), then dataflow diagrams.

State Machine diagrams and ERDs[3] are also useful when applicable.

> One thing I often wonder: What happens when a depressed person forces themselves to do things that are associated with not being depressed? Workout, dopamine fasting, social interaction.

First, that's borderline impossible to the point that it's an impractical and irrelevant suggestion. Second, for many, including myself, not much results but more stress and misery. Depression isn't one disease and is just a syndrome (a set of symptoms) caused by many different unrelated conditions and for many people those causes are entirely biological- not behavioral- and need to be treated like any other physical ailment. For some people (but not all), medication, therapy or other treatment can cause an improvement great enough for them to do be able to do those things and for some of those people (but not all) doing those things does help.

I compared BERT[1], distilbert[2], mpnet[3] and minilm[4] in the past. But the results I got "out of the box" for semantic search were not better than using fastText, which is orders of magnitude faster. BERT and distilbert are 400x slower than fastText, minilm 300x, and mpnet 700x. At least if you are using a CPU-only machine. USE, xlmroberta and elmo were even worse (5,000 - 18,000x slower).

I also love how fast and easy it is to train your own fastText model.

All this sounds counterintuitive to me. For someone on the brink of a crisis daily, something that sounds like torture (a tap on your skill every 15 secs during 10 hours) helped her to feel relaxed at the end of the day.

Religion isn’t about believing in the bearded man in the sky. To me it is about developing a wiser and healthier mind. That includes understanding things which are at times hard to believe at first. But that mustn’t necessarily be whether there’s that man in the sky. It could also mean whether there’s actual other life in the universe, maybe even more intelligent life which eventually degraded into the bearded man due the lack of a wise, developed mind. Maybe.

* If I don't watch TV for a week, the next time I watch a good movie, it's way more enjoyable

* If I'm physically active for a week, the lazy day after that week of physical activity is more enjoyable

In my experience, a lot of things in life seem more enjoyable when moderated. The list can certainly be expanded.

Unscrupulous marketing people discovered the effectiveness of doublespeak. They turned the natural suspicion of internet information back at itself by implying that “the other people on the internet are lying to you, I’m going to tell you the real truth” and because everyone knows you can’t trust the internet they are subtly manipulated into being more likely to believe something new that is untrue.
Sometimes, sometimes not. I can structure my words before I say them and they literally appear to me like text on a page, in front of my mind, and I hear myself saying those words with various versions of intonations before picking out the version I want, then I say them out loud in that intonation to the person I'm speaking to.

> As you move up the chain, it eventually stops being about your direct technical contributions and about your ability to multiply the value of everybody under you in your org.

This will forever strike me as a post hoc rationalization for justifying salary increases when the truth is that the salary increase is just a natural outcome of being granted institutional authority. This is the most visible with the CEOs that fail being given absurd bonuses and then justifying that as necessary to attract top talent. The people that are value divisors are still given huge remunerations precisely because of the position, not because of their impact.

To the exclusionary aspect of the idea, unless your employees are being micromanaged then a large part of their work is discretionary. If they are not being kept in the dark and are not working alone then a large part of their work is also collaborative. Putting these things together, your good employees will field requests from other teams, prioritize them on an ad hoc basis, connect dots and report opportunities amongst themselves: solving problems that influence many more customers than the direct ones they work with. Promoting them will move them out of the circle where they learn about these situations on the ground. Instead of multiplying your capabilities, you may end up dividing your people by removing a key communicator from the employee social network when you promote them. Potentially, everyone recognizes there is a problem, but the problem solver role is a vacuum. Worse if nobody is able to recognize there is a problem now that the person who was able to recognize it is faced with different challenges.

Institutional authority is not isomorphic to collaborative potential (or any general notion of work multiplication). Personal authority, respect, cooperation, skill, insight, all kinds of things can make a person's individual contributions many times greater. All these things are independent of institutional authority and the actual use of institutional authority will almost always come off as a cheap form of insecurity: "Do it because I'm the boss."

The truth is that it is easy to create a hierarchy and challenging to measure impact.
Home ownership isn't just wealth building, I would not recommend it for that aspect. But it also has an effect in your investment in communities around you, which is pretty important to build support systems for people less fortunate. The economic advantages and insurances are a side effect.
