MBTI differs significantly from astrology in that it's posited mechanism of action (genetics/early life experiences) is actually plausible, unlike astrology which suggests that differences in personality are due to astral bodies. It's pretty unsurprising that we're unable to measure the cognitive processes the MBTI posits given how limited our ability is to measure the brain in general. So I wouldn't count it out just because there's no experimental evidence (yet).

I've been able to observe the difference between what the MBTI calls "Judgement" (slow thinking) and what the MBTI calls "Perception" (fast thinking) in real life. The example I always give is my high school "Further Maths" class. There were 4 people in my class and it happened that we always ended up working in pairs. However the way in which each pair worked was entirely different:

- Pair 1 (me and my partner) worked independently, rushing through the questions by intuiting answers to each step. We'd then compare answers as a kind of checksum. If our answers differed, often one of us would immediately notice a mistake. And if not then we'd fall back to slowly working through the problem together step-by-step.

- Pair 2 (the other two students) defaulted to this approach of slowly working through each problem step-by-step together. This took longer up front, but produced more accurate answers.

Interesting, both approaches actually ended up taking a similar amount of time overall and yielding a similar accuracy of answer. But there is a huge qualitative difference in the kind of thinking that took place in each approach, and each person in the class also demonstrated a clear and stable preferrence for a specific approach.

There is also a vast body of literature on "Dual-process theories" like this one, popularised by Daniel Kahneman's book Thinking Fast and Slow.
You are addressing the effect rather than the cause: Simply removing an anxious person from the workplace won't solve the underlying reasons why that person became anxious or depressed at work in the first place. If you went on a crusade and fired all of the anxious workers, do you contend that will stop the 'spread' of anxiousness among your employees? I certainly don't think so.
In a couple of generations, there won't be a Uighur people. That's more or less extermination, isn't it?
Part of this is because of tools like Discord which is not indexable by Google.

We need something better than Discord for community discussions and support.

> We know inflation should start decreasing within a year or so

That is assuming the Russians eventually pull out of Ukraine, are completely beaten militarily and their assets will be used to fund Ukrainian reconstruction, and it assumes that China does not increase tensions with Taiwan or, heaven forbid, actually invade.

Should the war drag on, the situation will grow completely unpredictable - eventually, governments (no matter their political orientation or prior campaign promises) will have to raise taxes to pay for Ukraine aid and especially new arms projects, which means price hikes for the masses as companies will just pass through tax increases instead of accepting lower dividends for the capitalist owner class.

> but you cannot predict how millions of people will react to suddenly not being able to afford stuff.

IMO: Riots are inevitable IMO unless politicians invest money into at least filling the gaps for the lowest rungs of the societal ladder, the French are blazing the trail here - and it's only a matter of time until at least the UK population has enough of empty supermarket shelves. In the US, it depends if Biden will be able to secure a second term.
> Khronos was more than happy to do it themselves.

I was involved in a few of those committees, and sadly I have to agree.

The reason Khronos is often so slow to adopt features is because how hard it is for a group of competitors to agree on something. Everybody has an incentive to make the standard follow their hardware.

A notable exception to this was the OpenCL committee, which was effectively strongarmed by Apple. Everybody wanted Apple's business, so nobody offered much resistance to what Apple wanted.
It remains to be seen whether the lawyers agree with you.

A tiny UX tidbit I like, is the "close dialog" buttons in some products, consider the following 2 buttons:

[ Dismiss ]

"Dismiss" is self-deprecating and is an implicit admission that the warning is annoying, which makes the user less engaged.

[ Got it ]

"Got it" or similar phrasing subconsciously encourages the user that they understand the message and can continue. Even if they don't care about the message at all, at least the message doesn't consider itself "Dismissable" and unimportant... it's a subtle UX change, but makes dialogs are bit more tolerable...
There are definitely Rust and SQLite astroturfing mafias on HN, and they are very powerful :)
Of course it's not possible!

That's why you chuck Plex on a NAS, an old workstation, at least wrap it up inside a virtual machine.

... at LEAST least run it as it's own user.

Not your dev machine for a security company!

I promise I don't usually buy into a scapegoat. This is a unique situation. Almost any other company and it's a forgivable mistake. Any other role it's a forgivable mistake. Hell, any other seniority and it's a forgivable mistake.

Bro you are responsible for all my passwords, could you give half a fuck about basic security?
> The discussion was probability of ChatGPT having invented it, the probability that description for such a game is in ChatGPT's dataset is extremely high.

If this were the case, it would have been trivial for you to find a game with its written rules described and which match the one generated.

You have done nothing but say that is the case. You haven’t actually proven that’s the case.

ChatGPT can’t magically infer the rules of the game from screenshots, and you have only shown that similar games exist and have existed for centuries. But that is not the same as saying that this specific game has and that ChatGPT just pulled it out of its dataset.

That is the extraordinary claim that you don’t have evidence for but are acting like it’s right there obviously out in the open for everyone to see.

I agree, and I'm making a correction. Instead of "foo1 will never cause UB without the caller committing UB first", the article now reads "foo1 will never cause UB without the caller writing unsafe first." Thank you!

> Yeah obviously, but it doesn't answer my question of why can't we regulate them out of the housing market?

Sorry I misunderstod your question. Well the main reason I would argue is the disconnect between politicians and general people. The examples you gave, like asbestos or child in mines do not benefit politicians directly. However most politicians are house owners, most own multiple properties, those laws affect them directly. The fact many of their constituents do not own a home is irrelevant because signing those laws affect them.

> This rampant inequality is what led to the communists seizing power ~100 years ago, and despite being only ~30 years since communism collapsed in Europe, communism is on the rise again in elections in some EU countries especially among young people because the last 20-30 years of deregulated globalized capitalism has seen the biggest and quickest wealth transfer from the working class to the upper class ever seen.

I think whatever is coming is gonna be inevitable, there has been an economic capture of levels unseen, coomers owned 30% of the gdp when they were the age millenials are now. Millenials own like 7%. It is unsusteinable and things like AI, the Internet, Globalisation have not yet been integrated properly into the economic model.

I think the prefered solution is more horizontal models, unions are coming back, cooperatives are having a resurgance. Ideas like digital money can be terrible but could also reduce lending barriers. We are at a point where it seems to be more than enough for everyone its a matter of logistics. Green energy and 4 day weeks seem atteinable goals
I recently learned that job interviews are great at showing what’s wrong with the company you are applying for.

For instance, I recently had an interview where I got hammered with questions regarding design patterns. My daily work doesn’t consist of figuring out why I should prefer the Observer pattern or Mediator pattern over one another.

As such, I failed to give a satisfying answer in 2 minutes.
How it would normally work for me: I see that I would need to apply one or the other, and would start researching the pros and cons. I've used both of them. This is a substantial decision, and as such needs some time and thoughts.

Or maybe I'm the fool and I’m just "doing it wrong".
Nominal interest rate = inflation + real interest rate, now your question boils down to 'how does one determine inflation?'
Your prompt doesn’t take into account what this feature actually does.

Asking whether you did fall is not really the right question in that situation.

For example: I did have a serious fall (that hurt a lot) with my bike that triggered this feature – but I was conscious afterwards and seemed somewhat ok. As such I didn’t want my watch to make an SOS call (dialing emergency services and contacting my emergency contacts). I wanted to give myself time to assess the situation first.

However, I did fall and the Watch correctly detected that fall. So to this yes/no question I would have to technically answer yes.

In that context the “I’m OK” button is actually pretty great. It works both if you didn’t actually fall (a false positive) and also if you did fall but it’s not serious enough to call an ambulance. (If you say I’m OK it actually asks follow up questions to determine whether it was a false positive or whether you did actually fall.)

When the watch detects a fall there is a countdown and noise and vibration and after that the watch will make an SOS call automatically. As such it‘s not so important to make it super clear and easy to make that SOS call manually. In that context it seems like a fine tradeoff to me to prevent accidentally making that SOS call.

I think it‘s exactly right for the watch to put front and center why it’s doing what it‘s doing in those situations, while also making it very clear that there can be false positives.
>There's nothing wrong with a sub banning/censoring people. That's a critical part of having a trust value within a social network

I would not characterise a community moulded according to the whims of a few anonymous individuals as high in trust.
Higher rates mean lower property values - and lower property values mean the rent/mortgage trade off pushes rents lower. It’s instructive to look up how much those SFHs rent for and compare it to local apartment complexes. There’s a huge premium.

(And it’s of note that dealing with renting a SFH is possibly a worse experience than renting from a complex. Large enough complexes have maintenance staff and professional management. Someone renting a SFH might well have just that unit to rent - amateur hour. Or they could be a corporation but because you’re just one unit in probably a more spread out population of properties the renter might well experience lowered services from the property management.)

I do agree the investment activity we’ve seen in simply hoarding up SFH properties for investment is deeply problematic. There are all sorts of ways to push the market back towards owner occupiers.

It’d also be nice if it was a standard thing for working people to be able to make it to public local government meetings. Those tend to be timed when working people are at work. That could help something’s, but there’s probably still be a lot of NIMBYism…
Well good things laws aren't based on your feelings. I also hate putting my seatbelt on and I'd like yo enjoy real life instead of spending so much time clicking the damn belt

With the 0.1s it takes to click on a banner I'm sure you're fine. Most people probably visit less than 50 different websites per month, so at most that would be 50s per months, minus the banners you already clicked on, for which your browser already saved your choice (Unless you use incognito, but why would you do that, it's only for people who have something to hide right ? regular people just accept all data collection right ?)
This seems very bay area bubble to me.
Oh well, "about 5,000" then.

Whatever, it's a rounding error.
Because anything google can detect, the spammers can generate to match. We will soon enter an era of GPT generated spam which not even humans can tell if it's real info or just garbage that looks real.
Very interesting designs. Bicycles are stupendously efficient as a whole, hence a small inefficiency in the drive train is noticeable by the user. Weight constraints are another issue.
That is exactly the point!
Their model was trained on vast amounts of copied data. Is making a copy of their model really much different?
The MBTI is descriptive. However, it claims to be descriptive of internal mental processes, which it posits to exist in a certain way (admittedly not everything interprets the MBTI this way, but IMO this is the only interpretation under which the MBTI is an interesting theory).

I'm personally quite open to the idea that it's an accurate categorisation, but I do also think that it's an extroadinary claim that requires extroadinary justification. IMO saying "oh, it's just a description" because that evidence hasn't (yet) been found is a bit of a cop out.
Could a diet people would say "works well" be determined by looking at the dishes people say they love most? Topping the list would be foods that are too unhealthy or too expensive, foods that most would agree wouldn’t "work well" as a sustainable diet.

When you've followed such polls for many, many years, you see that programmers report they "love" languages that they pick more than those that are picked for them, that they tend to use for hobby more than work, that they tend to use in newer/greenfield projects, that they tend to use in smaller projects, and that they tend to use alone or in a small team. But the languages that end up working out well -- for the kinds of projects where Java is used -- are those that gain wide adoption in industry, that scale to large codebases and large teams, and yield programs that are maintained for many years. The languages that have managed to achieve that best are Java and C, and, to a lesser degree, C++.

If you've lived through the BASIC and later VisualBasic craze of the eighties and nineties, the SmallTalk craze of roughly the same era, the Haskell craze in academia in the mid to late nineties, the PHP craze of the early oughts, and the Ruby craze of the mid oughts, you see that the most "loved" languages are rarely the ones that end up working well.

Aside from a short ~5 year period (its first five years), Java was never a particularly "loved" language. Hell, James Gosling designed it to be a boring, conservative, "blue collar" language for work, and this work-in-teams-on-large-import-projects has been the main focus of Java's evolution. It's hard to argue that this hasn't worked out really well for Java. Even if Java isn't your cup of tea, you should appreciate the need for a language you can safely bet on to build a very important codebase that should be maintained for twenty years or more.

Having said that, I believe we should work on making Java more suitable for smaller, more fun projects without giving up its scalability. That's a difficult challenge, and, as far as I know, no language has ever achieved it, but perhaps Python is a reasonable source of inspiration.

Immigration is a method of wage suppression. The issue is that the businesses don't want to cut into their profits to raise wages to attract native/local workers.

Solving it in general is quite trivial - solving it 'fast' is another story. I can write a backtracking algorithm or a constant propagation one on spot. Yet, I am not quite sure how efficient the latter would be, the former is obvious a brute force one.

10 cards, with average of 3000 limit. Would mean you could take a 30000 more loans at high interest rates very quickly. It is not about having used and paid them, but capability to get loans beyond what you can manage very quickly.
It's almost never possible to test for what matters. The most important actually measurable quantity in any test of someone's skill or knowledge ir their motivation and willingness to prepare for the test. The next-most important is general intelligence. These two things probably account for most of the correlation between what you care about and things you can reasonably measure in a test.
> For example, rather than finding an amazing article written by experts in a long-standing publication you’ll get some rantings from a random blog from someone broadly unqualified to opine on the subject and whose writings are full of inaccurate nonsense.

That's not my experience. I appreciate the rant as much as the amazing article by "experts". What bothers me is in case of anything which make money for someone and who pays Google addwords fees is presented prominently while the rant is buried.
I mean, no. It’s not just a rounding error, it’s literally ignoring the real numbers and pulling something out of your ass to try and sound snarky.

Very few people upvote stories around here so that number is actually very large. Considering the current top thing on the news feed is a magnitude lower points, that actually means a lot.
I have to agree with you. I see this as a tendency for sites to start getting back to basics. Large frontend frameworks often cause more problems than they solve.

> So I wouldn't count it out just because there's no experimental evidence

That's not how science works. If you have a hypothesis with no experimental evidence, discussing it as a fact is akin to doing astrology.

I'm sure you're aware that most people recognize themselves in horoscopes descriptions of their personality. This is quite similar to that.
As a reddit-addict this really depends on the subreddit you're using. In /r/askreddit you don't stand a chance that your question will attract serious attention, but there are so many subreddits with small usergroups and enough reactions. In /r/askreddit or other popular subreddits, my answers get reasonable attention, even if I'm not on the reddit timeschedule.

Maybe try with smtp2go?

Previously, I was also using Sendgrid as well. But they seemed to start doing the "growth at any costs" bullshit which for an email sending company means accepting and delivering spam. (Regardless of their PR/weasel-words these places use to deny it, that's what it comes down to). Thus lots of places now just drop all mail that comes from Sendgrid, no workaround.

When that happened, a friend pointed me to smtp2go, which I've used since personally and we now use at work. We haven't (yet) had anything blocked as spam (less than 10k emails sent a month though), so it seems like they've not done the "growth at any costs" bullshit like Sendgrid.

You're obviously a troll and have already made up your own mind. And I've already said publicly what I'm going to say. So I'm going to take a hard pass buddy. Stop spreading misinformation.

> Good UI design should render the action obvious - a button should look tappable, a slider slidable and so on

That's basically what every designer says. What these people usually forget is that these intuitive Interfaces are only intuitive for people that think like them.

Nothing about that screenshot indicates that I'd have to swipe to take action. There is a very high chance I'd be unable to figure it out in a stressful situation while hurting... Unless I've already encountered the same interface in a less stressful environment.

I love reading what Derek Sivers writes - he has become a wise man.

Quick responses and slow responses reminds me of Daniel Kahneman's book "Thinking, Fast and Slow". I found it a very thought provoking read and in particular how often our quick responses are completely wrong with 100% confidence.

That in turn makes me think that those quick responses are very much like what ChatGPT does - come up with the most likely thing to say using our meat based large language model.
