In my experience, it tells you how you're physically feeling, not mentally. I don't need a watch to tell me how I'm mentally feeling.

Sometimes I feel like I need more sleep, and it shows me I'm at 100. So that's a good sign that I already had enough sleep and need to start moving.

Often when I'm very low on energy, I'm too tired to sleep. But there's a burst of energy, the kind you see in tired kids late at night. So the watch would say energy level is at 11 or so and I'd turn off the phone and close my eyes. But when you're tired, often the last thing you want to do is rest.
Girls attempt it more, boys succeed more.

It's not entirely unreasonable to suggest that "more attempts overall" = "more troubled"

Maybe boys are overall less troubled than girls but just choose more effective forms of suicide.

Maybe boys choose more effective forms of suicide because they are in fact way more troubled.

Really though, it's not a competition. We should be able to help both boys and girls, in ways that are effective for each group.
How about we do both, in which case we still want to do this one?

People aren't running to Apple for this. Apple is using its market power to throw people a bone in the hope that it will make an excuse for all the other bad they do.
> Utilitarianism is just as subject to countering every argument for it with "yeah, but why?"

I'm not sure what you mean by this, sorry.

> It boils down to the is-ought problem. If you remove the objective will of god, what is left is the subjective will of individual human beings. I struggle to see how utilitarianism would follow from the latter.

Well, utilitarianism would suggest that good derives from pleasure and bad derives from suffering. Thus, a good action is one that increases pleasure or reduces suffering. Pleasure and suffering are subjective, so the idea is that the ideal is to fulfil people's preferences. The will of god, on the other hand, is not objective either - different religions have different interpretations, many religions don't have a will of god, and atheists don't believe any of them anyway.

> What in the world does that have to do with being a moral philosopher?

Racism is broadly considered immoral. I just find it a funny irony, not a critical takedown of Kant's moral philosophy.
Senators probably don’t cross the threshold. You gotta have a lot of money and a lot of status with the airlines. Also likely not all airports will have/do this.

I also have a billionaire friend who only flies coach. Personally I think he’s a moron for doing so, but respect that he’s so cheap. You generally keep your wealth by being cheap, but realistically business versus coach won’t fundamentally change anything. It’s more the principal.
It is early to learn to separate work (school in this case) from home by using separate hardware but it's a good lesson to learn. Get a second laptop, school spyware nonsense goes on one, non-school stuff on the other.

It's annoying and generally a waste of resources so feel free to argue with the school at the same time. Corporate IT won't remove spyware from my work computer, school sounds likely to be similar.
In general job hopping is much less an issue than it used to be. That said staying less than a year at multiple jobs, unless they were clearly a temporary consulting gig is definitely a major red flag. It is important to note too, someone with a 20 year career that has had 2-3 short stints is seen far differently then someone with < 3-4 years of experience that has the same.

When I review a resume I look for short stints where the person was an FTE (or freelancer) as generally it is a sign they have a hard time being a team player, or they look for any small reason to self eject versus work through issues. Companies aren't perfect, not one of them, so there will always be one or more reasons people can use to eject, but you need to stick it out some and learn how to work through issues.

In general (specifically in tech), if you stay a minimum of 2 years no one will really care much if you move on, under that and you have to be more cautious how you present and discuss it. I'm not saying I wouldn't interview someone with 1-2 stints under a year. But if you have ~3 years of experience and have had 3-4 jobs it better be clear to me that the jobs were planned as short term gigs or something specific like 1-2 of the companies failed etc.

One strategy you can try is to arrange your resume not in chronological order but about skills and projects you've worked on specifically. This sometimes gets you past the resume review stage though the short stints will come up and you'll need to have a good reason why you are worth taking a risk on. The first one that was because of relocation is fairly easy to justify so I doubt anyone dings you for that, but the others will raise some eyebrows and potentially concern.
Russians would likely shoot at US forces in Ukraine. Then what? I sympathize with the Ukrainian people but Ukraine is not a US treaty ally.

If you're brave enough, the Ukrainian military is accepting volunteers. Other foreigners have already enlisted. Go join them. And I'm not being snarky: if you really believe in the cause then I sincerely think you should do something about it.
I'd really love to hear more about your use-case and expectations here.

The feature I use most often for exploring new data is facets - I explain those in the tutorial here: https://datasette.io/tutorials/explore#using-facets

By default Datasette doesn't include visualizations, but those can be added as extra plugins. Two of the most popular are https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-vega for charts and https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-cluster-map for geographical data, e.g. on https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/global-power-plan...

In terms of use-cases: I've recently started asking people who use it what job they hired it to do. One of the leading answers is for data publishing - they use it as a tool to quickly publish data online for others to use:

datasette publish cloudrun mydatabase.db --service my-database

A Death-Row Inmate’s Embrace of Conservatism Led to His Release
Modified comparative fault seems to make the most sense to me (it was actually the one I was thinking about when I said contributory negligence, refering to the action and not the rule).

The only real issue I have with the pure method is that theoretically a lower bar to bring a suit might encourage more to be brought and can lead to some perverse outcomes like the Ralph's case.

I mean, I don't have a lot of faith in the justice system based off of things I've personally seen in it. But even just taking the Ralph's example (which admittedly I should look into more), the impact of the truck being parked there seems like it should be essentially nonexistent. He was going to hit something, hard. The only real question was how much did the truck being parked there contribute to the outcome as opposed to hitting some other object. Without any real details, it seems that the outcome would have happened anyways, especially if he was simultaneously suffering from some medical condition.
That sounds like exactly the issue I've just described when I plug a USB C display into mine. I actually notice it, albeit to a much lesser degree, when I move a USB mouse connected to the dock.

Probably time for a change I guess.
I'm a female engineer in my early 30s and I'm very interested in this stuff, to offer a counter-example.

I'd be interested in paying a physicist to explain the Scharnhorst effect (predicted travel of photons very slightly faster than c between Casimir plates), and the implications for whether c is a core constant. I can't find much written about this - some papers were published about it in creditable journals iirc, it just hasn't gotten much attention for whatever reason.

Something about Hossenfelder rubs me the wrong way though.
Heck, as a physicist let me clue you in: most physicists simply use single words or short phrases to describe a whole vague bunch of related concepts. What the hell is “entanglement”. Oh my if physicists from two different subfields would try to unpack each others conception they would spend a whole day arguing like those old theologians about the nature of the Holy Ghost. Another is the interchangeable usage of “Lie groups” and “Lie algebra.” It helps, I guess, to realize that these words are actually labels for certain heuristics or sequences of mathematical operations. They work more or less when everyone is taught to use the same techniques but a farce when squeezed for puns.. not looking forward to the emergence of “hair loss” in both professional and journalistic black hole discourse— and yes, another religious term, “emergence”. Bastards.
Sorry bub, but this is America. We don’t have rights and other commie nonsense like that.
I procrastinate on the work for 5 hours, then panic and get hyperfocused. It's not a good way to do things, but it's how I do it.
Another hypothesis not bothering with evidence, is that due to increased media, mass media, and internet media exposure, we lack a 'quasi-local' version of what success can look like in a meaningful way.

The internet and mass media have 'de-smallified' our world, in that we're in constant exposure to those who have made it. They tell us their secrets, how they made it, and when it doesn't work for us, we get blame ourselves and take our failures as personal. There is an extreme selection bias for success in what we see in the world.

Failure, in that same sense, is hidden. Kids don't see it except on rare occasions where it can be spun positively. Kids aren't exposed to the real grinding failures of just trying to get by.

So we have two very different distributions forming childhood mental frameworks about what success looks like. Likewise, exposure is more and more purely digital. There's no grounding in any of this, or acknowledgement that most of why anything happens is due to circumstance and random chance.

Youth get put in a situation where success is effectively (based on their abilities and view of success) impossible.
Now that we don't have a dislike button, the comments are the only option.
I find it depressing to work in one place for long periods of time. Even if you give me the most ergonomic and high-end workstation, it would still make me less productive the more time I sit there.
the derision of MI3 stems from the fact that it's not Ron Gilbert "endorsed" (or made from him). My personal opinion is that it's stylistically above everything else but I recently played 3 and 4 again and I have to say: The jokes in 4 are way better. Considering that part 4 is "universally" derided, this just means that it's best to make up your own mind (but for new players who are short on time: just play 1+2 :D).

We assume this one will be great because Ron Gilbert hasn't lost his humor and he recently delivered a good game with Thimbleweed Park. So he's most certainly capable (also other stars like the voice actor of guybrush and the musician Michael Land are back, too).
Endocrinology has to be the hardest kind of medicine. Anybody who can do it must need immense patience to tolerate all of us buffoons.

Robert Sapolsky succeeded in delivering the flavor of it, in "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers".
fine, let me rephrase that.

There's an aggressive societal push towards taking an apathetic stance towards the mental health among boys. White boys from poorer communities seem the most egregiously affected by this but they are hardly the only ones.

Certain groups who feel that there is a zero sum game when it comes to empathy seem especially threatened by the notion that we pay any attention to this issue and aggressivly push back against any attempts to talk about it out of some sense of moral superiority.

when I saw those idiots with the tikki torches, what I saw was insecurity by people withheld from any sense of meaningful identity. So much so that they revert to the ridiculous notion of being proud of their skin color because they have little else to go on. This root of the issue hasn't been addressed at all and by continuing to shame boys for being boys and creating an outlet for positive masculinity, we are leading society towards a very dark path.

happy?
Sometimes I wonder where these arguments will lead us if the the technology develops further...

Why would you use work-provided air to transmit voice to discuss things the company may not like at the office? Don't you know they have smart microphones in the walls and use Active Noise Control to 'cancell' any words you say that they don't like?

For example, do you not expect your employer to know if you are thinking about another job while you are using their devices? They track you microscoping eye movement and body language to tell if you are dissatisfied with your job, to tell what products you might want and sell that information to marketing agencies, and they use machine learning to guess with 70% accuracy what you might be thinking about
Because it's convenient to carry around thin and light notebooks. Especially the ones that flip around to a tablet, making it easy to sketch ideas with a stylus. In addition, it becomes annoying to plug in multiple cables every time you wish to dock. USB, audio, power, ethernet, and video. USB-C is much more convenient when it works. I went through a similar churn as the author and finally settled on a StarTech-branded hub that has few bugs. Now, when I want to switch my setup between my work and personal laptops, I just unplug a single cable and switch devices. I can even connect my phone to the dock if I need to type a lot in an app, download a lot of data to it, or connect external storage.
The search for explanations always starts with a hypothesis.

I find it funny you call me out for being honest.
I've dealt with plenty of anxiety. Talk therapy is great.

If somebody's anxiety prevents them from connecting to the article because the author refers to themselves as "a baby" instead of "like a baby", that person may benefit from talk therapy.
I don't know of any organization that filters chat apps to prevent socialization. I have heard of preventing people from browsing facebook and similar though. Forcing employees to be unsociable robots seems like it could backfire spectacularly and just cause more dissent, unhappiness, and further harm productivity.
I gave one doozy of an answer once in an anonymous feedback survey. I then started to feel quite bad about it and realized probably it's not so hard to figure out who that feedback possibly came from. I went to my skip level boss and leveled with him about the feedback I had given. He was remarkably cool about it and told me they didn't get enough responses to that particular question to pass some threshold and hence he hadn't even seen that response. Luckily he wasn't a psychopath type manager and was generally just a wise old guy who was a great politician and I didn't wind up burning a bridge. But I definitely learned never to give honest feedback under the guise of anonymity.
Why scale up a technology that has resulted in no understanding whatsoever - only statistical matching of word groups like a super parrot?

Words are simply the data we humans use to convert to a model of space/time for computation as we read them. The model we build in our minds is conceptually linked with little resemblance to those very few input words.

You could dim the lights of the earth running the largest computer ever made with the largest training set ever assembled and still, you would be no closer to understanding or anything genuinely useful for us humans.
"nobody likes him (because he is superior to the other children)."

No. They didn't like him because he attacked other children.

From the article:

"He could be charming, generous, and humane. But he could also turn suddenly violent. At my son’s seventh-birthday party, Trevor bit another boy on the ear so hard that the mark was still visible when that child next went to school. Trevor terrorized the smaller kids in the class, and, if they pushed back, he would try to get them in trouble. He was shrewd in his manipulations. In second grade, he tried extracting cash from other boys by threatening to spread embarrassing rumors."

"He pushed one child down some stairs; the mother asked the school to insure physical distance between the boys in the stairwell. Playing paintball, Trevor sneaked up behind a boy and fired close-range into his helmet; the child developed blurry vision. Another boy came home from school with red marks on his neck; the school told his mother that Trevor had choked him."
("Tertium Non Datur" - that analyzed options are exhaustive)
Yeah I've managed an assumption based on what I'm seeing here. That's all the data I have.

Similarly most everyone assumed that the manager went out of his way to talk shit about him. Managers don't go around and talk shit of their employees without getting prompted. If someone asks his manager "Hey I saw you worked with aroundtown, what was your experience like" you bet the answer is going to be crystal clear.
For everyone under 40, there was a shaver ad that flooded the airwaves of our youth where some guy (Victor) would say, "I liked it so much I bought the company".

The thermal properties of AC for comparable amounts of power in a conductor are significantly better.

Copper is expensive, and having dealt with just the difference between connecting 12 gauge and 14 gauge to outlets and pulling it through conduits I'm certainly not enthusiastic about needing larger conductors.
It specifically illustrates my last point. The field is filled with ideological zealots who put our bogus propaganda to further their ideology. More in common with a cult than a science.
What an uninteresting (set) of posts on HN's frontpage..

Not on the company dime is by far the most effective way I’ve found.

I block out 3 hour chunks of time without any interruptions and work deeply on my personal projects.

During my day job, incessant meetings, status updates, slack and stand ups ensure I don’t do much (if any) deep work.
I am missing something about this distinction: It seems your actions, such as organizing community action via government or voting, are definitely implicated in your virtue. Why are these actions, which have serious consequences, treated differently from other actions? If I organize neighbors to pickup trash, or work through city council to clean the street, what is the difference other than the mechanisms?
Maybe I'm not the best person to talk about this, because I simply don't take photos and I'm a bit of a sociopath when it comes to stuff like this.

I get photography, will probably get back into it that one day (film photography though, the darkroom/development process is something I enjoy)

but I don't get photographing everything that happens in your life. It happened, that's enough for me, onto the next thing that will happen.

and, disliking clutter on my phone and disliking the notion of wasting data or battery power with superfluous background processes to mirror my photos on iCloud, I turn off all the iCloud auto-uploading stuff, take photos sparingly and purge them regularly. I've had the same 40-ish photos on my phone for the last 4 years and I'm cool with that.

I think the problem being discussed is one that was created by us in the first place when someone decided that manually uploading a good photo was too much work.

Thanks for replying, Simon! I guess my use case was a bit of a toy, I don't have a huge dataset to use facets on, I basically just made a small spreadsheet of blood tests and wanted to see if I could easily navigate the data better than what Excel did. I did install Vega, but it had basically one way to display data (I didn't look into it too much, though).

I think my use case was just not suitable for it, from your answer I guess it's more for people who have huge datasets they want to publish. I imagine it will be much better suited for that purpose, though I tried the demo a few times and couldn't really think of any interesting questions to ask it, so I didn't get it there either...

Datasette is one of those things that sounds very promising, so I want to explore it, but I end up walking away every time. It just sounds like it's not for me, though.
Possibly related-- does the Church of Satan hold an official position on vendor lock-in? :)
Why would 100x something only cost 2x to produce?

If you create an app, the cost is mostly developing it. Once you can sell a copy, you can sell 100x for more or less the same cost.

It's tricky for physical things. We tend to think that costs correlates with weight or volume, but that's wrong.

The price of a typical 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) perfume is around $50 in shops, for an "official" $100 price.

The cost of the juice is just $3, maybe $5. But that's not the total cost: the perfumist, the bottle, the box, shop markup, distribution markup, marketing, tv commercials, design, samples...

In this case, I guess I+D and machinery is a huge cost and price per unit is set not so much for the cost of producing one unit, but looking at what the whole costs are, putting a markup and dividing by expected units, hence my question.

By the way, nobody answered :-)

I know that the reponses answered somehow, in an indirect way...
I'm amused by the implication that they're willing to break the law (specifically forbidding discussion of unions) and inadvertently impede work conversation (forbidding code snippets that include a union type).
Not to mention the anti-evolutionists.

One of the top people in retrovirology turned out to be a crank when AIDS was elucidated, and he couldn't see it. Peter Duesberg (duesberg.com). Also, HPV doesn't cause cancer, after all? He has got Kary Mullis, 1993 Nobel/chem for the polymerase chain reaction, on his side, anyway.

Geology used to be full of cranks. Not just anti-tectonicists, but anti-catastrophists who could not abide bolide strikes. There are still many who can't accept a strike 13kya; they have fallen back on demanding a crater, knowing not all bolides leave one.

A really great geology book, BTW, is "Reading the Rocks", by Marcia Bjornerud.
Hmm, so out of curiosity I looked up both, Apple’s are actually cheaper per centimeter than MP, but don’t sell shorter overall cheaper options if that’s what you can use.

Okay, I can’t say I thought they were going to talk about a bite visible the next day. Not saying it isn’t violence, just not what I was expecting with that lead-in.
Worked 10 years. Only stuck at one job for over a year, but less than two.

It is a red flag, but employers are in no place to be picky. Most would hire contractors for the same position if they couldn't find a full time person. And if they can get a FTE for half the cost of a contractor, and that employee leaves in 9 months, that's not a bad deal.

I would draw the line around 3 months though. At that point, you haven't really hit the ROI of training and onboarding and such.
Can second this recommendation for an M1 Pro MBP. Expensive, but I've been very happy with mine. A single cable in and out of my laptop to cover power (at a full 95W) plus monitors, USB-A peripherals, network, and everything else, super amazing.
