I would be interested in what studies/papers/research is/are backing up the methods used by Olo, I haven't found any on the linked homepage. It does sound intriguing but in this crowded space of mental health apps I think referencing specific scientific research is crucial for standing out and honesty.
Depending on the state, there are social workers whose sole job is to reach out to and guide homeless people towards these and other programs.

The experience related to me by one of these people is that the mentally ill homeless tend to not trust social workers, believing (wrongly) that they'll be institutionalized if they accept any help at all.

The sad result is that they only way many of these people will get any health care is if they are, in fact, institutionalized, because they refuse every other effort to get it.
Fantastic feedback. Indeed these are distinctive problems. For instance, "SSO is expensive" seems to be the root cause for the "centrally manage permissions" and "automatic account provisioning/deprovisioning" problems. At least when we're not talking about enterprises.

OpenOwl tries to give transparency over the user permission data in your SaaS tools - independent whether you have SCIM APIs or not. It's read-only though. No automatic account provisioning here.

However, as some of these problems are very close to each other, it could make sense to solve them together. But that's not the intent for OpenOwl.
The individual regiments are very often royal titled though. "Royal Artillery", "King's Fusiliers" and so on.

You made that association, not me. Corporations will act in the interests of the corporation - there is no argument here.

A well-run foundation that would benefit from corporate help doesn't necessarily have to bend to the whims of the corporation. The Linux Foundation is a good example of where private/corporate partnerships are done much better.
Basically every license out there has some "can't be held liable" clause in it (see the mit license for an easy to find one).

Does this mean the license may be invalid entirely in the EU, making it so you actually just can't use the software at all? I know that's how the GPL basically works, if you don't accept the GPL, then you simply have no license at all.
This is how AI will destroy us? It’s like the holodeck on Star Trek: if that would exist, almost no human would do anything else than be there 24/7. The low-fi versions we will have the coming years might be enough to at least keep the male part of society permanently occupied.
There are other reasons to do that unrelated to the electrical system of the car. You're keeping the engine and any other moving parts lubricated. You're burning fuel, so that you don't wind up with as much degraded oil.
I’ve been using Cloudflare workers for a while now and I have to disagree.

There are entire classes of problems I no longer worry about with Workers and can just focus on building. My search history is a reflection of that. I’m no longer looking up “how do I put this thing in a Jails or container to limit exposure?” “how do I properly secure an SSH server?” “what is the magic incantation in my NGinx configuration to get an A+ SSL rating?”

I also spend less time thinking about ongoing maintenance, automating rotation of SSL certs, keeping system packages up to date, doing a dist-upgrade every few years, maintaining Terraform files to rebootstrap a server from scratch, thinking about hot/cold redundancy, etc.

With (some) serverless providers an absolutely massive slice of the responsibility of building a web application is pushed across the API and vendor boundary and is someone else’s responsibility.

For me at least, this is huge. I have a handful of clients that don’t have any full time engineering staff, and being able to push the cost of ongoing maintenance down is the only thing that allows them to afford building a custom application.
It seems to me (at the moment) that the 'engineering' of "prompt engineering" happens at the level of taking a word prediction model AI and turning it into a Q&A AI, and the art of decomposing requests into state and behavior that can produce an A from a Q. Also the chaining of prompts, self prompting, etc.

It's functional composition that's interesting. A system of prompts. Not the phrasing of a single question, no matter how clever.
> I don't see a point of any questions like that

it's a discussion starter. The point is to start the discussion. It often works.

Ok, that's another argument than "it's lazy". I can see it, especially when people are unemployed, they often feel ashamed.

On the other hand, isn't it a risk with any personal question? Aren't people used to handle these questions anyway?

(I otherwise agree that asking about the job is not the best thing to do anyway)

Outside the vehicle, the engine and tires are pretty quiet too, not much different from any other car.

As for hummer level acceleration, I agree that’s unnecessary and would be dangerous to use in an urban area. 0-65 mph in 1.4 seconds sounds wrong though, it’s more like 4 seconds. Car and Driver measured 3.3 seconds for 0-60 excluding rollout time. Accelerating full blast in such a fast car in an urban area would be reckless on the driver’s part, but that doesn’t mean you can’t drive it safely and reasonably in urban areas.

The Hummer’s bad stopping distance is from a combination of heavy weight an off-road focused tires not optimized for dry pavement grip. With that said, its stopping distance is only around 15% worse than the average car.

As an example of stopping distances and cornering grip of a more typical pickup like my RAM 1500, on stock tires, it’s 187 ft from 70 mph, and cornering grip is 0.78 G. For comparison, a Toyota Corolla has a 174 ft stopping distance and 0.82 G grip on stock tires, so around 5% better but not drastically better than the RAM truck.
The noise used in the toy isn't very pleasing to the ears.
The same take applies to individuals too, which basically nullifies your argument.
> If people don't want treatment, we should ask what's wrong with the treatment, rather than forcing people into it. It's rarely helpful and makes things even harder down the line.

This is ridiculous.

Some people who are mentally ill cannot make informed decisions for themselves.
If the voices in someone's head prevent someone from getting treatment, it's not the treatment that's the problem.

The problem is that more societies are joining them. In a vacuum its good (for some values of good, since there are real problems with declining population) for all populations to stabilize, but if poorer countries reach population equilibrium (or slight decline) while also consuming like the USA, then we're net behind. The nonhuman biosphere doesn't really care about per-capita consumption and emission, just the overall amounts of each.
> It's safe to say that your average homeless maniac would lunge at the offer of free housing/food/cleaning-service.

You say that it's "safe to say", except that it isn't true. There are many many services for the homeless, and these services legitimately help transitory homeless people, but those who are chronically homeless usually cannot stand (mentally/emotionally) or follow the strictures of these services, things like not engaging in drug and alcohol abuse, or being required to follow-through on mental health treatment. If your solution is basically paying people to care for mentally ill homeless people without /any/ restrictions on the behavior of said people (e.g. no required treatment, no restrictions on drugs/alcohol), then you're asking for people to literally risk their lives to care for people who do not have the mental capacity to even appreciate it, without any of the necessary power to help make the situation any better. It's a fruitless exercise. Those strictures are in place, because they must be in place to make it socially meaningful to help at all.

As long as we expect that homeless people will undergo treatment in return for free housing/food/service, there are /many/ chronically homeless that will either refuse or relapse. They certainly are not "lunging at the offer".

> an army of zero-skill workers.

Dealing with mentally ill people and drug addicts in a safe manner is not "zero skill", even if the other base service you're doing may be.

> So yes, there is an easy path.

There is only an easy path if you can forcibly institutionalize people and forcibly treat them. Which... is kind of the point of the entire article.

Empirical observation #1: A student said “I’m sick today. I can’t make the lesson. I’ll contact you later,”

Empirical observation #2: That student didn't contact her later including not replying to emails she sent afterwards.

There's also a direct consequence of empirical observation #2: The lessons could not continue.

Assumption #1: The student pretended to be sick. This student could have been actually sick. We have no evidence either way.

Assumption #2: Your definition of "genuine friend" is the same as the teacher's definition and the student's.

Assumption #3: Using the term "obviously" shows that you've assumed that I (or possibly anyone reading this) have the same cultural values and definitions needed to draw the same conclusion that you have.

I know I'm being pedantic and apologies if my tone comes across as condescending.

These studies seem to be largely focused on job displacement. There is is a reasonable likelihood that AI grows the overall economy.

I think we forget that our perspective of AI now is comparative, probably to that of a preindustrial worker worried about machines. Displacement, sure but complete replacement seems a non nuanced view of how it may all turn out.
Jobs getting harder or bot paying well is a odd explanation of low birth rates.

this is not directed at you, but at this attitude which is very common and which I see all the time: everyone is lightning fast to come up with reasons that something won't work.

why?

why do people say things without understanding that almost any given problem has subproblems, and that those can be solved.

in humans, negativity is always just under the surface, and positivity is often buried deeply, and I do not understand this. I don't think I ever will. people just love to be contrarians.

> the prior statement that new CSS/JS features are a burden to keep up with is patently absurd.

That is, like, the primary work required. And many of those things often don't even have a solution until someone finally figures them out in a performant manner (like CSS's :has)

> It would probably pay for itself in reduced fuel/rolling resistance when going fast in a straight line on the highway.

Just having your tires inflated right at the start of your trip does that. TPMS systems will already tell you what your tire pressure is, and with so many cars ditching the spare and going with an inflator+tire goop kit the car already has an inflator you can use. As mentioned, the vast majority of cars aren't leaving the pavement, so as long as they keep their tires inflated properly its not an issue.

That little compressor inside the wheel is then adding unsprung weight, which is bad. You normally want to try and reduce that as much as possible for your suspension's sake. You'd then also need more complicated wheel assemblies. That area of the car also takes a lot of abuse with all kinds of nasty stuff kicked up in there, not exactly the place where you would want to keep an air compressor. You're also then putting this minature air compressor in the space that takes the most physical abuse in the car. You also then need a way more complicated hub design with gearing and clutches inside to properly drive the compressor when needed. This would be a way worse style of doing it compared to existing designs which just run air hoses to each hub with a central air compressor tucked away someplace safe and protected.

If I had a choice between a car that just had an inflator kit in the trunk versus one with four mini air compressors and tiny transmissions and clutches in the wheel hubs along with complicated non-normal wheels and was overall more expensive, I know exactly which car I'd take every time.
> you'll be severely interfering with the SRS algorithm if you do that

My assertion is that "no, you won't", from a practical standpoint. One of the reasons people lapse on these things is the "overwhelming" issue. If you keep the max to what you can ACTUALLY DO, you'll be more likely to actually do them.

What you're referring to is an optimization issue; although doing less than what it thinks isn't "optimal" FOR ANKI, its way, WAY better than getting overwhelmed and not doing them at all.

And 150 vs 1000, if done regularly, WILL calm down and you'll chip away at that backlog.

And I also firmly believe that people focus way, WAY too much on "the card has to be done on this day or it's lost". No, it isn't. There is no "proper" time for a card because our brains and memory is SO variable that Anki just is a VERY crude guess at proper. Miss it by a day, or 10, or 90 isn't (IMO) that much a difference in the long run.

I see this over and over in /r/anki; people are getting WAY overtuned in trying to keep the software happy rather than the goal of remembering more things in less time.

It would also absolutely destroy the EU economy. Developers in the EU would be blocked from PyPi, GitHub, NPM, Stack Overflow and much much more. Pretty much every single commercial software product contains at least one open source package. You wouldn't even be able to use Java or .Net. There's also no way in hell that commercial companies like Oracle or Microsoft will assume any kind of responsibility for errors their code would result in in a customers code base. At least not without massive compensation.

And how about Linux, or Android... or iOS, they contain open source software as well. Could you go after some random kernel developer for a bug that affects Android?

This hasn't been tought through in any way, the ramifications could be enormous.

I do want to hear what they have to say. It sounds like they have some pretty out-of-the-box ideas about how society should function. Admittedly, it seems as though I would oppose those positions, but rather than dismiss them as the muses of a sociopath I prefer to get to specifics and address the idea in its entirety.

The notion of forced religion certain could lead to the worst versions of theocracy imaginable, but surely someone would think things to their logical conclusion before professing something so heinous. Right?
This is true and not well understood by many as well. Community colleges and many graduate programs often run counter-cyclically to the economy. When unemployment is high many post pone entering the job market or go back to school to up-skill and fill an unemployment gap.

Undergraduate enrollment at a 4-year school technically runs cyclically to the economy, but in practical terms enrollment remains flat at most schools.

The only bar that the heuristic has to pass here is "delivers a result that doesn't suck as bad as the analysis in Reckless, Infinite Scope". The analysis in that article is so bad, however, that your heuristic can literally be, "if you encounter an item that was also in Drew DeVault's input set, then assign an arbitrary probability 0.9 (or whatever) of whether the item should be counted", and it would still give you a more realistic result than what the article says (and that people are actually relying on in their arguments—and that you are defending) here.

It should be both ways round. This is especially true for languages (where your brain needs e.g. French -> English for reading/listening and English -> French for writing/speaking). It's also useful even where you only need one direction because learning both directions actually strengthens the memory for the direction you need.
