There’s a reason that traditionally in America psychology is taught in a research oriented way. This has the upside of at least ideally causing psychologist and psychiatrist to have a curious attitude toward their patients. In a field that is dealing with something so complicated as people’s brains and their social interactions and their self perceptions and their bodily health, it’s pretty much a necessary condition to begin from a standpoint of assuming that you don’t understand everything. I think it also has the unfortunate downside of producing a lot of questionable research though.

The problem is that in a research paper you do have to have operational definitions, P values, etc. it’s not that these things are bad but they are not particularly well-suited to such an ambiguous problem as attempting to explore the human condition.

To bring the point back to Wittgenstein, we are forcing students to talk about “the unspeakable” in scientific terminology. Bringing in his viewpoint from the investigations, it feels to me like in the mental health field we need to be playing a different game than the scientific research game. Professionals on-the-ground are doing this, but how to bring that back into the academic sphere, I don’t know what the best solution is.

For me, there were a few weirdisms in the wording of some commands but they weren't show-stoppers. I think for people like me who came from centralised CVSs, it was that Git was actually more powerful so it seemed a bit overwhelming or un-necessarily complicated.

Once you realise why git is like that, I haven't found it that bad.

It's no different than someone who has only ever ridden a bicycle asking why a motorbike is so hard to use. Because it does more stuff.
One ongoing thread might be better, but it's hard to argue that this is not big tech news. HN users cut through the noise of Twitter replies, and I enjoy reading what they have to say, so I'm having to search "Twitter" in HN's search and sort by "last 24 hours."

I'd imagine this practice of only refunding people that spend hours and hours complaining to customer service is part of what they're getting fine for in the first place. If they're legally obligated to refund you, you shouldn't be getting the runaround like that just to get what is owed to you.

I wanted to build a culture of documentation in my organization, and asking many people to use an app dozens of times per day - performance matters!

We ended up with Slite and are very happy 3 years and 1,000 documents later.

Slite is not nearly as feature rich as Notion (and that's totally fine for us!), but it does what it needs too extremely well.

https://atomicinsights.com/chinas-high-temperature-reactor-p... has a summary of the past experimental reactors (skip half way down to the heading “Brief high temperature reactor history”), and explains some of the reasons past reactors have failed to be commercialised.

It also explains one central problem with using gas: “Even with higher temperatures and higher efficiency, each core can produce 1/10th of the electricity of light water reactors, but [China’s] HTR pressure vessel is described as ‘the world’s largest and heaviest pressure vessel.’ Pressurized gas has a far lower capacity to move heat than pressurized water.”.

The primary issue is the subsets of possible extensions to the core.

Can it replace ARM? maybe in some roles that only require core features.

Will it become the popular standard? probably not, as the groups failed to learn what ARM did wrong. Most popular ARM cores have many advanced features disabled in the compilers for a few reasons:

1. Some ARM ASIC advanced features would err on some chips, or were simply unavailable on some silicon revisions.

2. Deploying chip specific compilers is unsustainable commercially when your competitor can port in billions of dollars of work with gcc (as bad as it is)

3. a complete RISC-V implementation with floating point and DSP extensions should have been the minimum core. Without these features, it dropped the whole generation 1 chip hardware into the low-end mcu domain. A saturated market, that has already fragmented.

Is there possible solutions?

Complete a fully open 64bit core with mmu, fpu, and DSP. Then give the design to companies that have had a proprietary hardware issue for decades like microchip.

Allowing companies to make proprietary design variants was a mistake.

Happy computing =)
Right, the missing step to make these assistants actually-useful beyond very simple tasks like "play [album name]" or "set a timer for 5 minutes"—which are basically just a voice-driven command line—has almost nothing to do with voice recognition per se and is more-or-less identical to the problem of "invent AGI".

It'll be useful when you can have it create, say, a menu and shopping list for your week, interact conversationally to tweak it including understanding that something like "I'm allergic to that ingredient" means never ever try to include it again while other statements of preference may be much softer, learn your preferences so those conversations get shorter every week, and order the ingredients for you, too. It barely matters if that happens over keyboard input or voice, because the hard parts of that problem have nothing to do with how the input is done.
Still looking for viable replacement:

* Joplin had some issues I've checked year ago.

* Apple notes while I have iPhone there's no Windows app.

* OneNote is just trully horrendous app.

* Obsidian just can't convince myself. I'm forcing myself to use it work, while it works, it's not something I enjoy doing.

* Notion is odd, everything is a block and sometimes formatting is just meh...

* Google keep is just simple note and that's it(unless something has changed).

Any worthy apps to look at besides those?

I don't think it should (or can) be that simple, but I also think some of these airlines intentionally hide that "standard" services aren't included, and sometimes even the pricing.

E.g. [1]. I had no idea the pricing of carry-ons for Frontier changed depending on when/where you add it. It also makes it hard to compare prices across airlines, because I have to remember which charge for luggage and how much, so I can add it to the cost when I use flight finders.

Sometimes the changes are also something I wouldn't think about. E.g. I flew Southwest recently and had no idea that "open seating" was even a thing to check for.

I can see how people who don't fly regularly get confused. I fly a couple times a year and get surprised, I can't imagine the bewilderment of someone who flies once every 5 or 10 years.
IMO, too many people took the wrong lessons from being ignored as children themselves, and they swung too hard into "Watch over your children 24/7 or you're hurting your children."

Ask HN: Why not have a lecture note taking app that knows what you will write?
In particular, the app could get the lecture notes in advance and then use them to autocorrect and autocomplete the student's notes during the lecture as they make them in real-time.

The student could even take rough notes with a pen and have the app automatically convert them into LaTeX in a way that preserves some of the student's formatting and is 100% accurate with respect to the professor's lecture notes.
I'm not sure what the problem with this is. It sounds like utopia.

The problem with LoRa is that you can't (or atleast shouldn't) control the frequency from software.

Which is exactly what you want. Also the frequency band is a bit too narrow and short ranged for real earth applications.

LoRaWAN is terrible because you move into the overengineered and heavy IP stack... the other way is better: build your own "from scratch" network topology in software.

I don't get why a lot of people are calling mlflow a shitshow when it has done so much getting data scientist out of recording experiments via CSV. I can log models and parameters and use the UI to track different runs. After comparisons, I can use the registry to register different staging. If you have other model diagnostic charts you can log the artifact as well. I think mlflow v2 has auto logging included so why all the fuss?
This sounds like all but two of my software jobs. The greatest challenge of being an individual contributor is being beholden to the constraints of the environment. If they tell you to dig a hole then that’s what you do. If they tell you to waste all day digging into some unnecessary framework to make a single CSS change that should take 30 seconds plus a few minutes for deployment then that's what you do.

In front end development people NEED the world's largest application frameworks (sometimes plural) because they cannot figure out state management. State management is stupid simple and a solved problem, but whatever. It will still, at the job, take you all day (maybe a week) to make that 30 second change.

I've been working on Entrepreneurship for quite a while now and still feel like a noob!

I created an ebook a while back on how to make money with Airbnb (based on my experience as a superhost), but I did zero marketing and ended up making about 3 sales total...

A few years back I made a course on Udemy. I figured this would solve my marketing issue. It took me 6 months and was a real slog but managed to create a course about Neo4j. I don't make a tonne of money from that, but managed to make a best selling course, and on a good month it might bring in $1k USD.

A couple years ago I did Sam Ovens consulting accelerator which basically teaches you to reach out to ppl with problems and get them on a sales call then sell them a $2k solution to said problem. I followed this and managed to sell a handful of people on helping them land their first dev job. People's problems were varied, I realise in hindsight that I could have been more educated around coaching but I did help all those people land their first job. I played with pricing a bit, selling at various prices ($2.5k, $750, $1.5k). I feel like if you pushed long and hard enough on this niche perhaps it could be successful, but to me it always felt a bit off for various reasons.

Now, I'm creating a website builder. I'd say it's not a project for the light hearted - it pains me a bit to say that it's been a year so far. I actually have something that can build a website and did have it up online, but took it down to avoid server costs while building it out.

I've learnt a lot on my journey and I find it fun (in a massochistic sort of way), but still very much a work in progress.

Happy to share if anyone has questions :)

> Git commands are too many, too low-level and hard to understand.

Most of these are 'plumbing' commands, not 'porcelain' commands. Perhaps the author should have read the book on the Git website¹, as it explains this.

> Git tracks 4 versions of files, instead of just "my" version and "the team's" version.

This is because it's a distributed version control system, not just a tool to upload files to GitHub.

It seems like the author hasn't even taken the time to understand the basics of Git, and its design goals, before writing this ignorant screed.

Yeah it's definitely a presentation format, but probably the most useful one there is for many. As someone who does print design, screen design, and development work, I'm glad PDF is what it is. Absolute subpixel-level perfection, support for raster and vector visuals, embedded fonts, multiple industrial color encoding formats, and other professional design features are essential for designers. Adding generalized formatting rules for dynamic layouts and content would needlessly complicate an already useful tool to adress use cases satisfied in other formats. That people, Adobe included, use it as a general document format is a problem with usage and product management, not the format. It pisses me off when it's used as the default export format unless it's sole purpose is for printing. I've had to write web apps that dynamically generated pdfs: it was a pretty miserable pierces that yielded mostly lackluster results. Glad to see Adobe has moved away from their cockamamie pdf interactive features that contributed little more to users than anxiety about security holes.

Epub should be the defacto standard when the included data remains important.

Yes. The staging area is for prepping the current commit set. I can pick or exclude which changes to go into the next commit. May be if it’s renamed to Change Set people would feel better.
I'm not in any way associated with Notion but I find Notion way better than what you've listed _for me_.

I love Notion because it makes it easy to organize lots of notes and has a good search feature. The databases are super useful, I have a bunch of them and I use the template buttons to auto-create new entries. I also use the template buttons to create new entries for my daily and weekly planning & review to make sure I check off all the things I need to do.

For example, I write blog posts on programming, startups, and mental health. I have a database with ideas for each of those three things. Then I have a centralized database where I link to those other databases so I can see which ideas I'm most inspired to write about in a centralized queue.

If you're interested in things like meal prep, using the gallery to show recipe idea pictures, then you can link a database of shopping needs to a database of meal ideas to automatically create shopping lists and meal prep ideas.

I acknowledge that some people have the opinion that you can spend too much time futzing with your tool and not doing the work enough. I respect that for some people something as powerful as Notion is a distraction. For me, my mind races and I take tons of notes and do tons of planning and I find Notion very helpful for organizing everything in a way Apple Notes could never be. I think people need to be respectful of differences on this topic.

I'm someone who's always hated Jira at work because I felt like we spent more time planning than doing work. But with Notion, I use it very quickly for the most part, there was a learning curve but it mostly just helps me out and stays out of my way. The keyboard shortcuts are amazing too, I like automatically adding different colors to my documents using them.

I do like Bear for Apple Watch and I still think Trello has a better mobile UX for boards/cards, so I take notes in those two apps then organize them into Notion. I also think it's funny Notion advertises habit tracking on their SF billboards since I think habit tracking is one of the only use cases Notion is terrible for (disclosure: I'm building what I consider to be the Notion of habit trackers).

But overall I think people are being incredibly uncharitable to Notion in this thread. Maybe it's a little overhyped, maybe performance could be better, maybe some people prefer more minimalist tools (my wife still likes pen/paper and whiteboards over all these things). But to me, Notion is still an incredibly well-designed tool that's incredibly powerful.

Except of few ideological mistakes, I would say, quite a lot of time was wasted on doubtful technical decisions ...

Evernote is a typical companion application - the thing that sits in tray and pops up as quickly as possible when needed.

I like Joplin, but it's a poor experience on iOS. Besides the material design theme feeling out of place, scrolling is weird/slow compared to other iOS apps, including webpages in Safari, and there's no gestures, so I have to reach all the way to the top to go back to the note list instead of swiping from the left of the screen like every other app I have installed.

Although it's not open source like Joplin, I've switched over to Obsidian.
Although evernote is in the category of the lightest must-have app, it's an extremely bloated app. too bloated in terms of features. I really wonder what percentage of users use all the features.
100% Absolutely!
I am always fascinated by people who want to earn less, pay more in tax, have less rights, etc.

That’s just a straightforward description of changes in the DSM. “Alcoholism” was split into “alcohol abuse” and “alcohol dependence” back in the 80’s, but in the intervening years the consensus view settled on treating these as separate symptoms of a single disorder. This is reflected in the DSM-5, which uses the term “alcohol use disorder”. The purpose of the linked article is to ensure practitioners are using consistent terms when communicating in a professional context.

The article mentions a lack of "undo" with git. This is one of the reasons I use a GUI git tool - specifically I use Tower for Mac right now for most of my day to day git. I still CLI stuff now and then, and Tower still spits out messages that force me to command line when it gets itself in to a state (rebase/conflict resolution sometimes). I can't recall other GUI git tools having an undo, but maybe some do now?

tldr: the 'undo' in Tower has been really handy for me over the past few years. Really handy.
> (27) The scientific method. Many science textbooks, including those in psychology, present science as a monolithic “method.” [...] Contrary to what most scientists themselves appear to believe, science is not a method; it is an approach to knowledge (Stanovich, 2012). Specifically, it is an approach that strives to better approximate the state of nature by reducing errors in inferences.

Mmmh is this Psychology opting out of the scientific method?
