Indeed, finding my therapist felt a LOT like dating. I went to the Psychology Today site, entered a few compatibility parameters, and then scanned through the list.

And I admit that the first pass was a lot on how they looked, whether they seemed like somebody I would trust. That was distressingly like dating, and I kinda worried that I was actually applying the same criteria.

I finally found somebody like 20 pages down. It wouldn't have occurred to me to use the keywords that would have led me to that person, but it felt correct. I talked with them and a few other top candidates, and picked the one who seemed right.

It has worked out very well. Incidentally, they're also doing parts/IFS type things.
I am really curious about Rust after looking for API proxies (in particular Linkerd2 - https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2-proxy). Can anyone share her/his experience on going from Python to Rust? (bonus point if related to API :lol:)
What are you even talking about. How the US military is funded is not what is relevant but its perception as a force capable of preventing external hostile entities from harming the US and disrupting its government. If your money was in Ruble for example, the weakness of the russian army makes it a bad currency to use as a reseve among other things.

You did not add any new information here, refusing to print money to pay your debts means you defaulted right? I did say for whatever reason right? If you are so knowledgable then perhaps you might also know that printing money is inflationary and at some point the government will have to decide between devaluing its currency so much chaos and civil unrest breaks out or you stop printing money to pay your debts. This is most unlikely with the US so it is a good reserve dollar. But other countries like lebanon and venezuela were forced to be in that position. I mean whether or not they actual refuse to print money is not even the issue, it is the perception that they might have to make that decision.

The issue is that the cartels are now endemic to the region. They're part of the government, they're extorting legal businesses, they're laundering the money and investing into legitimate businesses. You can't just undo their influence.

By the time robotics advances to that point, it would most certainly be economical to manufacture a significantly more capable replacement telescope, wouldn't it? As far as I know, there isn't any particularly exotic materials in Hubble, it's just a big heavy precision manufactured (lol) object.

Even right now, it seems like the real cost of a falcon heavy launch is relatively low. We would get more science for the money by mass producing several higher performance telescopes with fewer reliability requirements.

The comment that you're replying to is poking fun at the way the biden administration responded to the report saying there were two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. Everyone "knew" that a recession meant two quarters of negative growth, but we were told that actually it's only a recession if the people in charge say so. You do "trust the experts", right?

"Define text" is a pretty good question, but "ASCII" v. "Unicode" is frankly one of those deeply nerdy things that won't matter much at all in the grand scheme of all of this.

I suspect those familiar with pre-computer languages/linguistics would be able to come up with a pretty good working definition here, but something like "communication systems that utilize a relatively small number of repeating symbols to convey meaning, often associated with vocalizations?"
And one of the largest social applications in the US. Hearts and minds.
That’s what we call recycling.
My operating assumptions here go something like this:

- Living in a sparsely populated area that is near a chip fab presents X health risks due to its specific kind of industrial pollution.

- Living in a densely populated city without a chip fab presents Y health risks associated with higher traffic, other kinds of businesses that produce air pollution, etc.

I would want to see X quantified against Y in order to make an apples to apples comparison here. If such a comparison is made, it seems likely to me that the health risks are similar. Hence, the only way to minimize your health risks is to live in a sparsely populated area that has no jobs. Anyplace with significant economic activity is likely to be hazardous to your health in some way.

And even if X is significantly more hazardous than Y, okay, then what? "Don't move there" is a lot less helpful than proposing regulations that minimize people's exposure to pollution while still letting us have chip fabs. The damn things need to be built somewhere for us to have nice things, so let's figure out how to do it right instead of just scaring people with (potentially) misleading stats.
Pie charts are nice for gas vs taxes, just so the customer knows where the money is going.

But it's a totally different situation when one of the fees (a cc surcharge) only applies if the customer chooses a certain payment method. That has to be explicitly flagged somewhere in the transaction flow. You can't expect people to do the math and realize that the total is 12% more than the subtotal, not 9% more.
Twitter is definitely not relevant.
"These tools just regurgitate a mishmash of images from it's training set"

I don't think that's a particularly useful mental model for how these work.

The models end up being a tiny fraction of the size of the training set - Stable Diffusion is just 4.3GB, it fits on a DVD!

So it's not a case of models pasting in bits of images they've seen - they genuinely do have a highly compressed concept of what a cactus looks like, which they can use to then render a cactus - but the thing they render is more of an average of every cactus they've seen rather than representing any single image that they were trained on.

But I agree with you on taste! This is why I'm most excited about what happens when a human with great taste gets to take control of these generative models and use them to create art that wouldn't be possible to create without them (or at least not possible to create within a short time-frame).
The US Civil War war never achieved its stated aims for black / previously-ensalved people. Even though the North won the US Civil War, because of Andrew Johnson (edit: not Jackson) and the ultra-conservative SCOTUS, the people of the US South were able to put into effect Jim Crow laws, and the South essentially won the war over whether non-white people should be treated as equal citizens – there's a book on this subject: https://www.amazon.ca/How-South-Won-Civil-War/dp/0190900903
Or perhaps it proves that Python and its libraries are fast enough for a service like Huggingface.
Sure, I picked that ratio because it makes reasoning easy since then interest rates = percentage of GDP.

My point is precisely that it only works when rates are low. When rates need to go higher you can’t spend so much of your tax base on servicing debt without bad things happening. You cannot simply let the debt mature because it gets refinanced at the current rate unless you’re running a budget surplus to reduce the principal (which is generally considered unwise compared to growing/inflating out of it).

Rates don’t stay low forever
My note-taking system, basically the same since college:

1. Write down every nontrivial observation in a flat text file.

2. When that file gets longer than a few pages, transcribe it into a new file while leaving out or combining or rephrasing everything that now seems trivial.

3. Repeat until you've either memorized everything or don't need the info anymore, then delete the notes.

In retrospect this is similar to spaced repetition, but with a subjective "this feels trivial now" interval instead of a fixed interval.
Ask HN: Google Tag Manager?
I'm jumping back in to setting up analytics tracking for a project and I'm not sure how to set up the Google Tag Manager. My basic question is: should I use the GTM snippet that Google Ads gave me or should I use the one that Google Analytics gave me?

They say to only use one so I've used the Google Ads snippet but now Google Analytics says I've got no data.

Any tips, tricks or docs would be greatly appreciated. I've set up GA before but not with the current tools so I'm a little lost but I hope it will make sense soon.
> It’s sad that well into the 21st Century, Computer Science has so regressed that people no longer see the point of distinguishing between a programming language and its implementation.

Amen. I guarantee that Rust will regret not addressing this sooner. It's mature enough now that defining a semantics is more than appropriate.
Reinforcement learning is usually introduced as a technique to train an agent in simulation that would then be let loose in a real environment. Interesting that they choose to treat it is a search strategy.
The US is officially in a recession when the National Bureau of Economic Research says we are. Two quarters of shrinking GDP is often used as a heuristic but other factors like duration and intensity are included as well. Sometimes labor and unemployment data gets corrected months later, so it is sometimes the case that a recession is not official until it has already passed.

Basically, in the US, we are in a recession when the Business Cycle Dating Committee says so.

1) You responded as if I said, "the only purpose of monetary policy is to stimulate the economy as much as possible even if it introduces instability." Please don't do that.

2) You gotta read the thing I was replying to, and interpret my comment as a response to it, not as a standalone assertion. I think it's pretty obvious that I meant monetary policy resulting in inflation, as that's what they were complaining about, not all possible monetary policies in the abstract.

The person I was replying to was saying that inflation is bad because it dilutes the value of savings, which is therefore sorta kinda like a tax. I'm saying, that's a terrible model; a better one is that monetary policy uses inflation to stimulate investment in order to grow the economy, and doesn't care if that dilutes your savings, because it wants you to invest those savings.

If you disagree, say so, but argue with the whole thing, not with a sentence fragment taken out of context.
can you explain this with an example?

IMO communication is a skill involving verbal and non-verbal communication.
If a robot suggests that you maintain eye contact while communicating, it might help someone be aware of that and improve. There's usually always important guidelines to follow that you're free to break at your own risk.

Unfortunately diplomacy is a balancing act. India, I assume keeps a higher priority on making sure its poorest don't go under in this ongoing energy crisis.

> It's not just that we "don't understand" the mechanism of action, it's that there's no remotely plausible way for it to work in our existing model of the physical world.

That's the same thing. FYI the posited mechanism of action is that water is able to form substructures just with H2O molecules themselves and it's these water structures that theoretically produce the effect. Obviously this isn't verified and just is speculation but atleast it's a "remotely plausible" way for it to work in our existing model of the physical world, even if we don't understand all the mechanisms underpinning it.

> "As suggested by the peer-reviewed literature" is a deep and frankly disingenuous mischaracterization.

Fair, but that's why I qualified with "the peer-reviewed literature (according to various meta-analyses)" so you know that I'm not referring to peer-reviewed literature as a monolothic beast that achieves consensus but instead am referring to the various meta-analyses.

So I agree that studies and meta-analyses are divided on the topic, for sure. There are studies that show positive effects and studies that show no positive effect. The fact that there are any studies showing a positive effect though should be of interest. If the results are not due to error or bias, then the positive effect of homeopathy needs to be followed up on and deserves more funding to get to the bottom of. Unfortunately a lot of science is political and homeopathy doesn't have a lot of political clout.

> Disregarding anything that doesn't confirm your favored hypothesis isn't science.

Couldn't agree more, but you should consider that you're guilty of doing exactly this when you disregard any studies that show a positive effect for homeopathy beyond placebo. It is, as you say, one of the oldest and most common failure modes in human cognition, but moreso is often easy to see in others much harder to see in yourself.

I have a conspiracy theory that collusion is exactly what's going on here, and not just with the "back to the office" push, but also with how kafkaesque the hiring process has gotten.

With remote work, an employee can work multiple jobs simultaneously, and they're unbeholden to any one employer, what with how easy it is to apply and switch to a new one. So how do companies combat this? They introduce friction at the very start of the pipeline - hiring. Multiple rounds of oral exams, take-home exams, leetcode questions that can only be answered with weeks or months of deliberate studying (something an already-employed person has little time for) - flaming hoops galore. They'll still compete with one another, sure, but they've found it's in their best interests if they all agree to hire in this kind of fraudulent manner.

But it's still satirical comedy nonetheless because lots of people do laugh and I would be the first person in line to protect their right to make fun of Trump or Christians or Republicans. Without this right to push the boundary, especially in a way that makes people laugh, then it really does start to look like fascism.
India does business with Russia that does not mean they are allied. Allied means India would be participating in the Ukraine conflict like Bulgaria.

While I agree that this might be a practical and effective step... changing my number costs me a lot of money in terms of lost revenue and expenses, I have business cards to reprint and contacts (business and personal) that I'll need to update. Considering phone companies could simply block these calls if they so desired I don't see why I, the customer, need to absorb such a large cost just to keep my life sane and, after absorbing such a cost the robo calls might just find me again.

I receive more spam calls than spam emails and, being familiar with the underlying technical details of each system, that is absolutely ridiculous. Email was built in a time of pure optimism, there is no central switching authority for emails and there is no cost to sending an email other than jiggling some electrons - telephone calls are highly metered and monitored, they generally pass through several organizations that have been endowed with a high measure of trust to police and shepard them to their final destination. There is no reason other than the monetization of the system that these spam calls are allowed to exist.

What I really want is an advanced caller id system that encompasses the whole process, in which the "caller" or "sender" never actually has my phone number (or email or mailing address).

I can generate contact-ids on the fly, which I can give out to anyone - public or private. I can generate them for each person I give them to, or for posting on a billboard if I'd like.

When a person adds that id to their contact list, the "system" would notice that I've never set that up the caller to contact me, so I get a notification that "[Caller] would like to contact you". I can set the method and schedule they can contact me:

* Text / Email - Weekdays between 9 and 6pm (work)

* Phone / Text / Email - Any time, Always, Until Disabled (family, friends, etc)

* Phone / Text / Email - Any time until Summer (my kid's school)

* Text-Only - For the next 3 days (maintenence, etc)

* Snail Mail Only - 3 Weeks before election (local politicians)

* Snail Mail Only - Once per month (local grocery)

The caller gets a notification that they can contact me, how, and when, and from then on, they look me up on their devices / apps and hit the "Contact" button. They are then presented with the options I've given them "Sorry, You can only call or text during work hours". "This person only allows text messages at this time".

Some interesting bits about this:

* No contact info for spamming

* No possibility of harassment

* No distractions outside of what I've personally defined as available.

* Commercial / Political entities aren't cut out from people who want to hear from them

* Mail can be forwarded to me anywhere in the world, since the sender would just be sending a package / letter to my id, and not to my actual address. The PO would then send it to whatever address I've most recently set. (no more forwarding address or crap for the people who used to live where I do).

This point is so good and so important:

"Getting lost in your knowledge management system is a fantastic way to avoid creating things. Or calling that friend you’re estranged from. Or doing anything else even mildly threatening. It’s also a fantastic way to convince yourself that unpreparedness is what’s between you and creative work. If you believe you’re unprepared, know that you will never transmute into the perfectly prepared person that you think exists in the future."
What we're trying to say is that that approach does not work so well if your individual files are 1-2 orders of magnitude larger and your whole analysis dataset (which must be processed in its entirety to answer any question!) is 4-5 orders of magnitude larger.

Yes, not everyone has such large data sets. (And not everyone has such small data sets!) But it is imperative that scientific computing infrastructure developers understand what classes of experiments they are serving, and what classes they can not or should not serve.
