This article seems to relay on the idea that by default we can take no action and therefore we don't acquire helplessness as it is the default. But it doesn't seem to make sense? The norm is that we make actions all the time and agency is expected. When one loses their agency then we are talking about learned helplessness. If we want to say "Oh, in fact those people did not learn helplessness since there is nothing like this to learn, it is more accurate to say that they find their circumstances so dire that all actions seem to them unreasonable effort as it won't allow them to change those circumstances." then I guess that true but it seems trivial. It is like saying that if you are so depressed that you don't eat then it is not depression but a default state since you need a reason to eat and you just fail to have that reason. Which is like, the point? We expect healthy people to take care of themselves and if they feel like there is no reason for them to do so then they are not back to some natural state which is fine. So I feel like there is no big discovery here. It is just terminological adjustment so that we can avoid possible misinterpretations plus some new fact from the neuroscience which doesn't change anything about our psychological understanding.

So yea, the big fanfare about "debunking" and how the science progresses are out of place. This is a one paragraph news without citation.

Even with plain text CSV files one can detect that a given cell was changed, have md5 checksums of files, etc. In a day to day use where users often share their edits using emails just figuring out which is the correct and most recent copy is a fools errand.

In some settings the sheets are just a giant white boards: different parts of the same sheet can contain partially replicated and not cross-checked data.
Samples in columns, so each row is a different type. "Free flow of thought" or annotations of say numerical cell with text in the same cell.

All this steams from the fact that users do not see the data as something to be queried and compared but as a board one can just look at.
I mean, the LLMs are already hallucinating, so it shouldn't be that much of a stretch...
My understanding is that "learned helplessness" is not "unlearned control" but "not-learned control". Someone who can't read isn't someone who forgot how to, but someone who never learned how to.

I think it's helpful because that means that everyone has to learn control. As opposed to just a few people who would need to learn it to fight their helplessness. So, maybe something that should be taught at school?
The swipe keyboard on iPhone is bad, but it is usable. Android is definitely better.

Coming from Android, I find typing and editing generally painful on iPhone even after 6 months and fiddling with settings. However I have yet to swap back to Android to see the pain points there.

Hate that iPad doesn’t have swipe.

although do not discount the skepticism made through objective observations. apple has tried ar for better part of a decade with limited success. ar/vr/mixed-reality headsets have come a long way but the realities of current technologies remain.

> who the heck would carry a USB key with them??

> but with this, synced to your password manager of choice, that's A LOT better

While I agree with your general point that passkeys are great, I strongly disagree with these specific points. It's much easier for me to carry a small usb-key everywhere than it is to carry a big-ass phone (I often leave it at home) or my own computer.

With a yubikey on my keychain, I can log into my company's AzureAD from any computer. In a pinch, this also works on a phone if it has an NFC reader. It used to work fine on my iphone 7.

Another use case is specifically not wanting anything company-related on my own computing device. My personal phone isn't enrolled in the company's AzureAD, I don't have their 1passwork vault there, etc.
It's a VR headset, not a spatial computer.
So very different then Mac then.
The last one is a problem for a lot of use cases. Lots of sites have different domains (also for example when HBO max renamed to max).

Plaid also relies on entering bank passwords on neobank sites and is widely used.
It is important to note that car usage an extra parking are strongly correlated as any car is either parked or travelling.

If you add more cars without adding at least 2 parking spaces per car you almost surely get less usage or cars stuck in traffic.

In modern programming you would reject these arguments as invalid and refuse to perform the execve syscall with something like EINVAL. Instead we now have this additional quirk that's going to be part of the Linux lore forever and people may start relying on as a feature.
That is a disappointing answer. I was hoping for the truth, but got a poor attempt at humour instead.

I genuinely want to know the real answer, because this kind of behaviour confuses me. And every time I ask someone about it they don't answer, or get a non-answer like yours.

If HN blocked comments with certain words, I'd understand.

If you genuinely find shit an offensive word, and instead chose to use some other word instead, I would understand.

But this makes no sense. So please explain.
No worries. Re-reading your original comment I also realized that the quote you begin with talks about "dangerous levels" of radiation, which I suppose should prime one for the fact that you were talking about unsafe exposure levels.
Regarding the "acute", I think I mixed up my previous "actual radiation sickness" with the "acute" in ARS there. You're right of course about it normally being used for short-term effects. So that would be another hint that what you were calculating was not the threshold for radiation sickness.
Without wanting to downplay the effects of being told you have cancer, one has to wonder if the doctor or lab should be responsible for whatever an unstable person does upon receiving this news.

The examples you mention would be just as bad even if the news was true. Not sure if there's any valid logic there on my part.

> Even outside of US I can imagine it would be very easy to sue for emotional distress caused

Living in the EU, I'm guessing it would have to be REALLY bad for you to be able to take someone to court over this. It would have to be "fake news" that persisted for a pretty long time, not just a phone call or email.

Put an innocent person in jail for X years, compensate them for it. Tell a person they're going to jail and tell them the next day that they aren't, that's a different story.
You probably also don't want to take them off if everyone around you is going to wear one, not sure if AR is the right bet though for our dystopia. We don't want to augment the tent we live in the billionaire city, we want to replace the cardboard box we live in with a mansion to ease our embarrassment at not yet being a billionaire.

Future consumer electronics needs to focus on easing the transition of hundreds of millions of people in the western world into poverty.
PHP SQLite in-memory effort is `$db = new PDO('sqlite::memory');`. With postgreSQL, you'll at least have to:

1. create the ramdisk

2. mount the ramdisk, configure systemd to automount it

3. modify the systemd unit file for psql to depend on the ramdisk

4. initialize all the psql data structures in the ramdisk mount folder

Show HN: One-Click MLOps Platform Sandbox with ZenML, MLflow, Kubeflow and MinIO
Founder of ZenML here, the company behind the sandbox service. We created the MLOps Platform Sandbox to give ML and MLOps Engineers the ability to pick and choose their preferred infrastructure and tooling to build a platform that fulfills their company’s needs.

Deploying a rudimentary MLOps platform can be time-consuming for new users. The MLOps Platform Sandbox bridges this gap by providing a one-click deployment platform for a pre-built ephemeral MLOps stack, simplifying the deployment process.

For now, you can create a sandbox for 8 hours with a stack made up of ZenML, Kubeflow, MLflow, and Minio Bucket. We plan to expand it to other services like BentoML, Seldon, and other MLOps tools in the future.

The Sandbox comes with pre-built example pipelines that you can run and try out. It provides a seamless experience for you to experiment with these tools without worrying about infrastructure setup and management.

Looking forward to the HN's communitys feedback!

> Some of the thoughts and emotions they block are scary

Building on this, if someone is scared of the 'psychedelic' part then there is also MDMA which too lifts 'filters' and makes the subject aware of those thoughts and emotions so they can be processed, but takes away the fear and anxiety.

MDMA is not classified as psychedelic and currently studied for treatment of PTSD (among other diagnoses).

Psychonauts found a way to combine those effects: candyflip (a combination of LSD and MDMA) or hippieflip (psilocybin and MDMA).
That's only if you marked function with "async". Developer who writes code for "eating a donut" supposedly has better knowledge of how I'm supposed to eat it - synchonously or asynchronously. So if they didn't mark function as "async" I can't decide how I should eat it, it's decided for me.
I'm talking about the "personal use" usecase and not the professional/business usecase. I agree with the value of security keys as being a physical token with low/no risk of leaking. But for personal use there's no way I can make that work for me day-to-day, even less of a chance I could get my parents bought-in on that idea. And I've tried, as someone who actually developed software to interface with this tech directly. I always have my phone with me, but if not, I can always login to my cloud-synced password manager in a pinch. (Worth mentioning, I don't have the same paranoia as some regarding cloud-synced vaults when done right, big reason I left that aforementioned company).
Wow a reference to Rainbow’s End! IIRC that novel was set around 2026. I don’t think we’ll have Vinge-style AR/VR contact lenses for many years to come. Certainly not by RE’s fictional timetable… :(
Is anyone able to watch Apple marketing without cringing or feeling uncomfortable? Part of it is the actors' exaggerated enthusiasm and practising what they've learnt at some bullshit, TED-style, influential speaking bootcamp. But it also makes me feel defensive. Like when a religious nutjob or cult leader tries to tell me the "good news" or something. I get the very same feeling as I have done on the few occasions I've attended church.
But people still do shoot movies and make video games.

It takes more work, but also (hopefully) provides an additional value. At sufficient scale it might make sense to do this (something like IKEA).

Google now occupies 50% of my screen with an intrusive non dismissable message telling me I need to enable autouodate of the apps in the appstore.

Short term thinking drives their narratives. And money.

Take the F-16s question. Last year Biden said sending F-16s to Ukraine would mean World War 3, now he's changed his mind. Technically he's not sending them, but he's not holding back on others sending them.

The next escalation will have him sending them.

Yes, but does PHP run atop a Javascript interpreter?

I thought not! I rest my case.
If this is you use case some Audio-Technica ATHM50XBT would probably have way better sound at a 3rd of the price. For over a decade it's the most used headphone set in professional studios for a reason.

P.S. not saying there aren't better headphones, just that the price ratio is great with these ones and the sound to my ear is better than on airpods pro. No noise cancellation though.
Terrible. It's slow, UI is jaggy, everything feels so clunky. I didn't know it's possible to make it worse than current reddit. Apparently I was wrong.
> Yea, but does it scale? Yes, for 100 users maybe. But you have 100 000 small sqlite db:s

If it's a case of 1 node per customer (node being vm, lambda, cloudflare worker, whatever) then there should be no limit.

Maybe you're thinking of a more "traditional" approach with a server process managing 1 sqlite db per customer, which might make sense in order to keep cloud costs down. Even in that case it should be trivially easy to distribute the load.
Eh, while the media seemed to be into "hackers" in the sense of people breaking into systems (and either messing them up or just to do it for bragging rights), that wasn't what most of us were into -- instead we were interested in writing software to get the most of the hardware we had (and used "hacker" in the old-school sense of expert coders).
But what about other armies and their suppliers? They don't kill children/innocents too?

I guess the whole point seems to be that people (companies) "does not take similar measures against other countries who wage wars which have caused way more deaths and displacement of individuals".
In the same way as the bans on smoking or drinking alcoholic beverages under 16/18/21/whatever, on voting etc. etc. are dumb too?
> If your kid is addicted to screens, it is on you. Just delaying their first contact to the age of 13/14 won't magically guarantee they will be able to navigate it responsibly.

I completely agree with the latter, but to achieve the former, it will have to be delayed to at least 18. 12-14 is the age at which they start getting interested in social media, fitting in a group, sexual attraction, etc., which is what makes social media nefast. Prior to that age, many will simply only be interested in cartoons and dinosaurs. It isn't magic, it's just how development works for many (in our environment, at this moment). Hopefully, by delaying it to 18, they will be conditioned less by the instantaneous attention call of whatsapp, tiktok, etc., although many (younger) adults seem quite addicted as well.
I was skimming though the pages of this issue from 1986 and thought how those prices for hardware seem fairly reasonable. But looking it up, the inflation since 1986 was ~176%, so 1 USD back then equals about 2.76 today.

> Not whataboutism, you're parroting the word without knowing what it means. I'm just saying that war crimes happen in any war, even when supposedly civilized nations fight.

I think you don't have a clue what the word means, if you think the scale of war crimes that Russia commits happens in "any war, even when supposedly civilised nations fights" then you are blind and clueless.

> Putin is in no way Hitler, modern Russia is no nazi Germany. If you don't understand the difference, please go study some history, I won't debate you on this.

I don't know they really like flying there Z swastika high and proud, they are indoctrinating their children with a hatred for a nation of people and to fight in the future. They regularly call for the answer to the "Ukrainian question".

> This is an extreme exageration. There have been war crimes as in any other war. To say that the Russian army has systematically been doing this is a lie. The Ukrainian army is responsible of war crimes as well.

This is in no way a exaggeration we know that Russia regularly tortures civilians, filtration camps have been Russias modus operandi for decades now, just look up the filtration camps from chechnya to know what these monsters are capable of.

> This kind of idiotic comparison has no ground in reality. We're not talking about a house, Ukraine has no "children" as it is a nation, and if you really want to insist on the pathetic children analogy, "fighting back" requires tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands more children to die.

So whats your plan to get Russia out of Ukraine then? let them have whatever they want and let there crimes against humanity and the people of Ukraine go unanswered?.

> Would you sacrifice tens of thousands of your children to take back your house? See how groundless an analogy that is?

I would fight back, and not bow down to tyranny and terrorism from the new authoritarian beast. Sounds like your plan is for Ukraine to lay down and just let Russia do whatever they want.

> Yes, the reason Apple moved to soldered memory for their MacBook Air line is likely some combination of physical packaging and fleet reliability.

I love how you've pushed your opinion as fact here, spinning the positives and conveniently omitting the clear anti-consumer advantage that soldering RAM achieved: non-serviceability meant shorter lifetimes, i.e. more replacement sales (and hence more e-waste, but who cares about externalized costs, right?) and more money minted during the original sale (since people couldn't buy and upgrade with cheaper components, they were forced to pay Apple prices). At the time it was implemented, there was no real technical advantage.

Performance benefits have now come along as a bonus, a happy side-effect. But the main mover has always been (and always will be, with Apple) pure and distilled greed.

Did they do it better though?

Their ambition was way higher than what Apple presented, but I've never heard of anyone talk about or write a review about a good Magic Leap device. My impression was that it was complete vapor ware.

The demos looked amazing and completely faked.
Heavy disagree. This is less giving a safety belt and more like saying we got airbags (that are deadly without seatbelts) and a DIY seat belt is somewhere in there too (it's in a box under the seat).

Coming from Java the C++ stuff is jarringly unsafe.
I see airpods more often, but sure, apple did discover a huge market here (and not so kindly pushed people towards it by the removal of jack ports). But I don’t fault them, the airpod pros are really cool and the comfort of noise cancellation especially on public transport is a godsend and it makes sense that many people actually cough together the price for that.
