Show HN: AI Therapy iOS App for Convenient Mental Health Access
Tudle is a revolutionary therapy AI app designed to provide convenient and accessible support for your mental well-being. Whether you need quick stress relief or a longer session, Tudle has you covered.

Current therapy is designed around a lack of therapist supply. The average cost of only one hour of therapy PER WEEK costs $100-350. The average waiting list to get your first therapy session is around 6 weeks long. There are additional barriers such as geographical location, language barriers, stigma, and more. Tudle hopes to lift these barriers and give free AI therapy to all.

Tudle maintains the unique benefit of being able to recall past conversations, enabling a fluid connection, a deeper understanding of your journey, and providing personalized guidance based on your unique experiences.

The base model with open conversations is 100% free. Your conversations are private and never stored on our servers. New Sessions are stored locally on your device to enable a fluid connection with your AI therapist, and Incognito Sessions are available for unsaved, discreet, individual sessions.

Tudle can converse in 106 languages, from Afrikaans to Zulu. The app itself is localized into 17 languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Hindi, Indonesian, German, Italian, French, Russian, and more.

Through Tudle, we aim to empower individuals with the tools and resources to better understand and navigate their mental health journeys. We are committed to fostering a safe and secure environment where users can explore, heal, and grow at their own pace. Our ultimate goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of millions of individuals by providing them with the support they need to thrive mentally, emotionally, and psychologically.
FWIW I'm typing this on a mid-2012 MacBook Pro that shows NO signs of imminent failure.
I'm surprised the article doesn't explain how float numbers are stored in memory according to IEEE that's the main reason you don't use them to represent money.

If you are an engineer who doesn't know what a mantissa is, stop two minutes for a cool ride https://lashewi.medium.com/storing-currency-values-and-float...
There was a recent crash in Santa Clara where a Model Y hit a tree going down an empty expressway. Very sad as both occupants died.
You're right, and in fairness I haven't used an FPGA or VHDL since the 90s. I spent the 2000s in destitution and the 2010s catching up, getting the rug pulled out from under me every 10 years or so like everyone else as wealth inequality reached unbelievable levels. Even $1000 for a testing rig felt out of reach.

I should probably start with an open source setup, but last I heard, pretty much all FPGAs had a proprietary layer like GPU drivers on Linux, which was such a huge turnoff that I never bothered proceeding further. If that's changed, I'm all ears!
I got my pilot license in an airplane equipped with an autopilot and got exactly 1 minute of training on it. It was "here's the switch to make sure it's turned off." (That's literally true, no exaggeration.)

All autopilot knowledge I got was from my own reading the manuals. I assume there's the same information available from Tesla on it.
> They believe in "the value of personal freedom, free enterprise, property rights, limited government, and sound money."

And there's nothing wrong with that. It's pretty good that they stated their beliefs upfront, so at least we can see where the bias (if any) comes from.
"[...], and it’s dimensionless, so you can’t easily check if you forgot to divide or multiply by it."

For what it's worth, it's often the case that a factor of 2pi is the difference between something being in terms of cycles/sec or rad/sec. In an experimental context, it usually isn't too difficult to judge which of these "units" a quantity you're looking at is in...
Our family is using Amazon Photos with Family Vault feature that collects photos in one place. We use Amazon Echo Show to display the photos. We got tired by Echo's spam (we want to use only for photo frame and other features) and we would like to transition to iCloud Photos but we cannot find a similar solution.

Can anyone recommend a good set up with iCloud Photos and some sort of hardware to view our photos on an always on display? We do not wish to manually copy our photos to be clear.
I'm very confused right now, I replied to a comment talking about the quality of films made by a studio and you're responding with investment stuff.
That is exactly it. It was a 30 day backup with no cost and no storage inclusion. It could keep people from buying iCloud storage
I mean this without a shred of disrespect: have you read 1984?
I see. Thus that large Ti flange that was bonded to the dome didn't carry a load through the bolts significant enough to deform the dome either. Carbon gone in a flash and comes apart at that joint totally, Ti is left hanging in water.
True but unfortunate.
I have some complaints about UUIDs. Why not just combining time + random number without the ceremony of UUID versioning. And for when locality doesn't matter, just use a 128bit random number directly.

And in my experience most people somehow think a UUID must be stored into the human friendly hex representation, dashes included. Wasting so much space in database, network, memory.
pprint won't work here because the output is a json string, not a python object, so pprint'ing it will just print the string as is. And plus, pprint doesn't output valid json (it uses single quotes, for example), so the output isn't usable for piping into other filters and programs.

And it's true that it won't scale well but it still has worked every time I've wanted it to :)
To extend on your point, and to brain dump something that went through my mind about the parent comment:

I can tell you the name of (most of) the characters of the Avengers movies.
I can also tell you the name of some of the actors who play those characters.
I have absolutely no idea who directed them (nor do I really care that much).
I can't tell you the names of anyone involved in the production (art/music/cgi etc).
I can tell you it came from Marvell Studios via Disney.

I can tell you the names of the characters of HalfLife series.
I can't tell you the names of the voice actors (apart from the fact nobody voiced Gordon (lol)).
I can't tell you the name of the guy who wrote the story, other than he left Valve and published a story outline for HalfLife 3.
I can't tell you the name of a single programmer, visual or level designer, artist, musician etc.
I can tell you Valve made it.

So yeah, unless your character also shares your name, and as you point out, unless the game is titled "John Smith presents a John Smith game directed by and starring John Smith: JOHN SMITH THE GAME" you can all but forget about me knowing your name.
No way, I've never seen a public viewing, I just like it because it's subversive against a genre I normally dislike. It's a musical that people who hate musicals can enjoy.

And it's catchy as fuck. Everybody knows the Time Warp even if you never did the silly dance.
those are birds
I guess I don't see the relevance. Are you saying any tactic or action is fair game in class warfare?

Voluntary association and participation of individuals should be a baseline understanding.
That's fine and dandy, but most people probably don't approach anywhere near that regularity. I enjoy culture just fine, but I'm a busy father and I also enjoy my hobbies.

All I'm saying is that most people that act like rural areas have "nothing to do" probably don't do all that much regularly anyways - and there are simply different things to do. We live 5 minutes from a state park with great hiking and have two public beaches within 5 minutes as well.
I posted something along the lines of "games are too easy to make" on reddit and got expectedly lambasted. My fault, don't tell people with new found ability that the only reason they have it is because it's 100 times easier than it used to be.

A long time ago, I got interested in computers to make games but immediately veered into other kinds of software. No worries - I always planned that once I was "done" in the application/startup space, I'd head back and make those games.

Sadly - I waited too long. Like music, books, or photography - the supply-side is so inundated with content that the market is more about marketing than creation or merit. Mind you, never did I expect or even care if I made money. That was never the goal. But now I realize just to get some people to play my game would be a huge undertaking requiring tons of luck - just to rise above the noise. That was the deal breaker - I don't care about making money - but I do care about eventual players, at least if something will take months or years* to create. I wanted to make games, not do marketing.

The bright side is there's no shortage of fun games to play. I'll stay on the player side of the equation!

*Wouldn't be surprised if something like ChatGPT allows games to be made in days in the semi-near future. If so, I just might make games anyway - still not for money, and now not for players - but just to finally let those ideas out of my head.
I created Allie. I don't want to link anything here that might violate HN rules, but you can find me in Discord where my username is belladore.

I don't even know that I do disagree with you. I just don't think Venture Capital is some sort of existential threat, or by definition a problem (some specific applications of it, sure), so I don't think the blockchain solves any real problem out of the box. It's an interesting thing from a technical standpoint, and some interesting things have been built on top of it, and I made some money on BTC back before it was 5 figures.

But you're not going to convince anyone to swap out VC funding for utility tokens by talking about Napster and FogBugz.
Perhaps it explains my perception of his work as ill-designed movies.
Is this crowd an online crowd or a real one? I can't think of a single leftist who is against identity politics but pro-slurs.

You might describe these people as "capitalizing a venture", in fact, or "venture capitalists".
People did but they were inducted into the Cult of the Soda Machine and have never revealed it secrets.
Here's the video I think.

It is apples and oranges.

I have actually owned in the past:

* A real, bi-weekly printed publication.

* A couple of mildly successful blog sites.

Their economics are wildly different.
I'm not really seeing a big enough difference between 7 and 10 years to call one ownership and the other leasing to be honest
And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross section of necessary skills. Of course it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. But ah with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present gross national product within say, twenty years.
…so it still has a hard stop, just 3-4 years further into the future?
A lot of regulation has no safety purpose. Stuff like parking minimums requiring an expensive parking structure or space dedicated for surface parking, mandating x amount of units be rented under market rate, overbuilding elevator capacity, insisting on things like balconies, or void space for astroturf that reeks of dog pee. All of these things are sometimes mandated by ordinance or code, increase the costs per unit and limits the size of the potential build per construction loan, and these are costs beard by the renters ultimately.
"...Between March 10 and May 1 of this year, three of the largest bank failures in U.S. history occurred.

On March 10 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) seized Silicon Valley Bank after $42 billion in deposits had exited the bank the day prior with another $100 billion queued up to leave the next day – meaning it was possible for a federally-insured bank to lose 85 percent of its deposits in the span of 48 hours in the digital age. (For a closer look at what was going on at Silicon Valley Bank, see our report: Silicon Valley Bank Was a Wall Street IPO Pipeline in Drag as a Federally-Insured Bank; FHLB of San Francisco Was Quietly Bailing It Out.)

Two more bank failures followed in short order: Signature Bank on March 12 and First Republic Bank on May 1. Both banks were experiencing bank runs as a result of a loss of confidence by their customers.

First Republic Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank were the second, third and fourth largest bank failures in U.S. history, respectively. (The largest failure was Washington Mutual during the financial crisis of 2008.)

The Fed’s answer to this crisis of confidence was to allow JPMorgan Chase, officially the riskiest U.S. bank with a string of felonies, to buy the failed First Republic Bank. At the time, First Republic was the 14th largest bank in the U.S. and JPMorgan Chase was the number 1 largest bank with $3.3 trillion in consolidated assets. (Is there any logic, whatsoever, in allowing the riskiest bank in the United States to get even larger? The only possible explanation is regulatory capture.)" [0]

What’s being counted here is the interfaces and wrappers.
It is always the implication when people point out false dichotomies that there are more than two options. The rest is left as an exercise for the reader. Flex those critical thinking skills.
It is telling that game developers are not storytellers like those who write novels or even performers in a niche like like opera singers. It looks like after all these years, computer games have been around since the 1970s, they don’t have not only don’t have the cultural cache of writing but also music.
I suppose my point was that Ada had missed it's shot-by the time GNAT came out, the buzz of an exciting new language expired before people could easily use it.

I'm not familiar with the marketing that Mozilla did, but whatever they did it does seem to have been effective. However, I do think that the Ada mandate by the DoD would be equivalent or more effective in kick-starting an ecosystem.
I agree several of their movies ARE masterpieces. I think the problem is when they tried to get too preachy and sacrificed the "soul" of the plot to the message you're supposed to get out of the movie. Wall-E was a good movie, but it feels preachy. Incredible 2 was a nightmare because all it did was preach. I haven't seen most of the newer ones. Ratatouille came out post-Cars, and I feel like Ratatouille does one of the best jobs balancing the message with the plot, and giving you an aesthetic experience you will not forget: perceiving the world from the point of view of a rodent. Ratatouille genuinely changed my life. And yeah even if you grew up with Pixar, you can watch those movies again and they're still solid, soulful film.
The seamless incorporation of iCloud into the MacOS file system has given my current laptops (6+ yrs old) 2-3 additional years of useful life.

Being able to access the same files across MacOS and iOS without doing anything special is amazingly convenient.
That type of home appreciation happens in larger US real estate markets as well, assuming you're willing to put a few hundred thousand into renovations. Everything has shot up tremendously post-COVID.
This is extension of Streams API in Java, that allows custom intermediate operations, looks great I hope it will come to Java soon.
> The restrictions appear to only apply to televisions and not mobile devices for now. Once you are successfully logged in on a smartphone or tablet, you should be able stream on it from anywhere.

So if I never log in from a TV then I can have as many mobile devices (and computers?) on my account, from as many locations as I want?
> experience of working on a film or television series that is underbid, understaffed, subject to unreasonable, inflexible deadlines, and endless directorial nitpicking: "pixel fucked"

This feels like working for a video game company. People overworked, underpaid, and doing it for the love of the creative arts and working on a name brand project. Similar things have happened at Electronic Arts.
There are hundreds of thousands folks, who came here for college, are still on h1b. They have been in this limbo for 10+ years.

> combining time + random number

You can't guarantee that this will be globally unique.
That's true, but I'd argue those that go out monthly could easily live an hour or two from the city.

Don't get me wrong - if I were still single I'd probably move to a city, if only for the dating prospects. Once you have a family though and limited free time the pros and cons change a bit.
That's how the type is encoded as a string, but type-safety ultimately comes from how the TypeID libraries allow you to validate that the type is correct.

For example, the PostgresSQL implementation of TypeID, would let you use a "domain type" to define a typeid subtype. Thus ensuring that the database itself always checks the validity of the type prefix. An example is here: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-sql/blob/main/example/e...

In go, we're considering it making it easy to define a new Go type, that enforces a particular type prefix. If you can do that, then the Go type system would enforce you are passing the correct type of id.
great post—it resonates, deeply.

I won't bore you all with the full tale of my similar story arc, but, in short: physically moving away from the scene, eventually mustering the courage to kill the full-time indie gamedev dream for good (after a few increasingly desperate attempts and monetizing this thing I spent my whole life working toward), and then finally finding myself slowly progressing elsewhere in life as a result (meeting the woman who I would go on to marry and start a family with; starting a career working a mundane but decently-paying programming-ish job for my hometown school system) has been one hell of a ride, to say the least.

I eventually reached conclusions that are very, very similar to those that the author reached: game development was, as it turns out, almost entirely a coping mechanism for avoiding progressing forward in life, by maintaining an internal illusion that someone, somewhere would care about the cool stuff I was making, such that it would all be worth it in the end—all the while giving me the feeling of control over something, even if basically nobody else in the world cared about it but me.

I still make games, but I've fully come to terms with the fact that it's almost certainly never going to be more than an interesting and fun hobby. this might not end up being the same conclusion someone else treading more or less the same path comes to, but, it's where I ended up, and I'm much better for it.
This is quite true, especially true when talking about direction (gradient) in high dimensional space. I don't think this can be avoided, since after all we are creatures living in 3D space where left right up down are quite well-defined, just need to make a mental note every time you have to deal with more than 3 dimensions.
As a Meta employee as well, and working in the data analytics / engineering space, I'm finding tooling to be pretty high standards actually.

Though we arguably rely on a lot of Apache products, whatever we use that's internal only is great to work with. Daiq** recently started supporting notebooks, which has been a game changer for us as well as for the teams we work with. Phabricator is great as well, and makes shipping stuff super easy. Only Ben**, the internal notebook solution, I find meh. Especially compared to Google Colab. But the rest has simply been a joy to work with.

For those interested, a former DE made this nice repo that maps internal tools against "real world" products: https://github.com/thijsessens/xmeta2external

what do "these" americans bring for canada?
As of when I last checked in 2021, Seattle tech salaries are 10-20% higher compared to Vancouver with house prices being like 33% lower. I imagine this situation holds when you compare Toronto to Chicago or Montreal to Boston. Even if the Canadian government makes the bureaucracy simpler/less onerous/less evil as long as those fundamental conditions exist I don't expect to see a mass exodus to Canada.
A site that has articles attacking the entire concept of wealth taxes thinks it's not working in Norway?

Kind of predictable.
But you can't incrementally upgrade that ship to become a large ship.

At some point, you need the capital investment to build a big ship, and the return on that investment is zero unless you build the whole ship.
My only gripe is their largest iCloud offering is 2TB - would love to see some expansion there.
> If you're an investor that's a valid concern. But as a user? I've been happy to have VC finding subsidize my food via Hello Fresh etc. whenever I'm inclined.

It's not the same though because you're the end consumer in that scenario and there's no downside to the business disappearing tomorrow.

Instead, imagine if you built a restaurant serving food you get from Hello Fresh. How do you price your meals to ensure you're covering the true cost of you inputs? Can you compete with the guy down the street that isn't smart enough to realize part of their supply chain is being subsidized in an unsustainable way? Probably not.

The whole setup simply makes for bad economics IMO. I'm glad people in tech are finally catching on that VC money is the equivalent of an unsustainable, hidden subsidy that's difficult (or impossible) to calculate.

Thanks, that’s the one! Sorry was on the move on mobile.
Not for people like me that refuse to use iCloud or store personal data (photos, videos) on any cloud service. I’m especially annoyed they put Find My and Apple Pay behind iCloud which means I can’t use it.
What's the comparison, Windows?

Well, sucks if you bought a Windows 10 device with an Intel 7th Gen processor in the first half of 2017. You will only be getting... ~8 years, just like Apple more or less; even if most PCs will probably last longer than that.

As for, "well we can install Linux..." that doesn't make even a measurable dent in e-waste.
In my interpretation they cure the separation anxiety by making sure the toys go to a good home at the end. It's a lot easier to get rid of something when you directly know and can see someone enjoying it. It means a lot to me when I see my friend wearing my old clothes for example.
