Also not OP, but if you open up with any mental health positive people in your life, that's a great place to start. They may even have a recommendation which will really ease a lot of your worries going in as it largely is a personality based thing in my experience.

Also - give a call to some therapists. You can choose some arbitrary screening criteria that make you comfortable - like if you only want to talk to men because you're a man and worry about that, or if you want to find an lgbtq-oriented therapist, those types of things can be filtered. There are even faith-adjacent therapists - but I personally would be uncomfortable with that - but they exist!

Once you have a list after filtering down of 3-5 therapists, call each for a consult. During the consult, if you don't like the therapist, cross them out. After calling 3-5 you can choose the one that your gut tells you. If you can't commit even then, then flip a coin on them to be honest. If your gut tells you to go with two different ones, choose one at random and try it out.

Finally one other thing that I found surprising was even if someone marks cognitive behavioral therapy on their listing (A lot of them do!) - they may not use it in a 'tool-based' fashion. Meaning, you won't get a lot of homework.

If you are someone who needs take home work to be able to function, this could be a question you ask during your calls.

Here is an example of how it could go:

You have the criteria:
1. Must be LGBTQ positive
2. Must accept my insurance
3. Must be skills-based oriented around processing emotions

With these three, if I cannot find the information on their page, I can ask them during the consultation call something like:

1. If you don't accept insurance, can you do a super-bill so I can file a claim with my insurance?
2. Do you do skills-based learning as part of your practice
They may say "no, but I do X, Y, Z" in response

Anyway, I'm not editing this down but hopefully that helps a little.
Every platform has limits on its APIs. There's no such thing as unlimited API. This has been done forever.

Threads said if anyone ever sees a problem to let them know, as no user should see an error during use.

Unlike Elon who dropped the limits to 5 minutes of browsing for regular users (and then in few days effectively brought them up so much, that almost no one gets errors).

It’s been pretty consistent, although I admit I’m usually looking for work when everyone else is: during tech recessions.

Lots of good, valid information in this article. After more than 10 years in this field I would add, that it can be beneficial to do the book keeping yourself. It is useful to get a feeling for your numbers and expenses which helps you when doing financial decisions.
Usually pop-over text would have some extra tid-bit: like him having calculated how many words can fit over the ocean along the way, he might say how many Oxford dictionaries or Ulysses that is, though it's obviously too much for this particular example. Maybe a rate at which we'd get another Ulysses in the ocean would make sense: every 45 minutes there'd be another Ulysses worth of words in the ocean :)

Is this a problem though? I a lot of countries you can open a 1 shop company, and any two companies can sign whatever they agree on into the contract. Of course some higher level laws may void (parts of) the contract.

Do you think that “nature of the relationship” is more important than wording of contract? Why?

If countries hate the idea of 1 person shop contractors they can still ban the “shadow employment” via higher level laws. If they don’t I don’t understand how this is a problem.
This isn't about analog data. The states will still be quantized/digitized. Besides, currently used transistors in regular CPUs are analog too.

And, does anyone want more than 0 and 1? If it's faster and has largest capacities, with equally feasible manufacturing, then yes.
As someone who does kind of thing, I think while this is a good explainer, it doesn't explain the thing that actually makes it work.

It can be fascinating to read about and obviously it's an immensely deep subject.

But there's a tendency to focus on the pure intellectual "how do the prices move" models that doesn't take into account the business around how you actually get the model operating, both from an engineering point of view of "how do I code up the execution and housekeeping" and in the larger business sense of "how do I arrange the shop so that I am able to trade this model".
I ran a survey and some one-on-one interviews of 30 or so engineers at my workplace to get some real data about the impact of slow tools. IIRC, the results were something like this:

* Most engineers can maintain focus on a task for up to 10 seconds waiting for a slow tool. However a couple of engineers (myself included) will get derailed at only about 3-5 seconds.

* A tool that runs for more than a minute will cause just about every engineer to switch task while it is completing. (This means they stop working on their highest-impact work and likely spend time on lower-impact things).

* A tool that runs for more than 15 minutes will make any engineer have to start deliberate multi-tasking where they are trying to work on two major work items at once.

Also, I wouldn't have read the article or posted this comment if it weren't for the slow CI pipelines at my workplace.

The second part "and therefore we should all go to Rust" does not follow necessarily from the first. Maybe the reason not everybody is gone to Rust is that it lacks something. Maybe we will all go somewhere else.
The first time I saw an AI creating images in like 2018 or so, I remembered the scientists called it "dreams" and I thought it was so appropriate. The constantly morphing landscape and how things blend together to form new things and how almost everything is wrong when look at closely. It was an interesting description, and I didn't care much more than that.

Then the AI got better, and still the dreamlike things never go away. The constant problem with the hands, words never properly formed, clocks always look wrong, etc. But now it is more cohesive, more "solid" but still malleable. Like a lucid dream. Still straddling the border between consciousness and unconsciousness but there is a hint of control and direction now.

As someone who lucid dream, I think the AI images and the LLMs are just like a person dreaming right now. They sort of have control, but actually not really. Kinda hard to explain but even when I lucid dream, I know it is a dream and I can bend it to my will but at the same time, it isn't possible to control my thoughts. Trying too hard to assert control and I wake up. So it is still a state of unconsciousness for me and not at all comparable to the "me" when I am fully awake.

Of course, the AIs can't wake up if we use that analogy. They are not capable of anything more than this state right now. But to me, lucid dreaming is already a step above the total unconsciousness of just dreaming, or just nothing at all. And wakefulness always follows shortly after I lucid dream.
> status as reserve currency is exactly why the US GDP has been overtaking the EU

USD was the reserve currency in the 90s and mid 2000s. Back then the Euro was very strong and some large European countries were close to overtaking US in GDP per capita.

The last 10 years have more or less been a lost decade in most of Western Europe because (amongst other things) it almost entirely missed out on the tech boom.
I’m surprised you’re able to expense your rent, but otherwise I agree. I like being free to arrange my schedule how I like.

Probably most people have about a 1 in 80 chance of dying each year on average over the course of their life.

The US death rate is 1.04% per year. So in that sporting event example, statistically 313 of them will die within a year's time.

Also if the sporting event was today then only around 2.5 people would die in a car accident "this year" as currently we are already in July ;)

Anyway that is my bunch of nonsense statistics :)

> No one uses PPP for measuring growth,

I've just started to read Graham Allison's Graham Allison (supposedly based on this article [1]) and the exact opposite remark is made at the beginning of that book, i.e. that one should use PPP numbers instead of nominal GDP numbers when looking at the quality of life.

Oof, lost me here. Guess what? It is the customer’s time.

I will always be learning and re-learning. It’s a big field with lots of long small pitfalls. If you have a non-standard system, it means I’m digging and re-learning some shit I thought I had the luxury to forget. That is _definitely_ on the customer.

Honest question. Is midlife crisis and/or burn out a problem that you face only when you can afford it?

I am a frist generation immigrant in the US. I do ok for myself and am at a vantage point of seeing my peers etc have these issues but I also can't forget that my parents worked much harder for much less, with similar, if not lot more stresses, and I don't think it was even an option for my mom/dad to have the luxury of burnout or on a midlife crisis, even therapy would have been an expense to think twice about. They worked Saturdays as well, had much worse commutes, longer hours and they barely even took vacations etc. as much as me and my peers now. They seem to have done ok for themselves and are reasonably happy, and fine in their older age now.

Are these just problems that one faces only after they have certain comforts in life and can afford to have such problems?
Well, it had bounds checking.

I always call them mainframes, regardless if the name is micro or whatever is the pedantic nomenclature.
I don't know anything about this author until now, but by reading the one article and thinking a little critically and reading here, what he said was deceptive. A lot of advice is actually just toxic, because in it's generality, people always give assurances behind it. It might be fine for trivial things, but for shaping major themes in one's life, one really can't have a feeling of FOMO because they don't act on this generic advice.

I say this because I have spending years shaking this off. This is my mid-life crisis (that I decided had to start when I turned 40 :P ) What you say about success and happiness is relevant - even if "success" is an implicit measurement in places where hustle is a religion, it's best to ignore that stuff and do your thing ... or not. :)
>FWIW, the IPCC advocates for a diversified portfolio which includes nuclear, and this is the general stance of most climate and energy researchers as the simplified version of reasoning (I know, ironic) is "don't take it off the table." When to use it, how much, and where is more controversial, but this gets extremely complicated quite quickly.

This seems like the most reasonable approach - if someone disagrees with this, it would be interesting to hear their reasoning.

>which coincidentally saw some of the highest growths in the region during the last two decades.

That isn't some coincidence. The biggest beneficiary of the Eurozone relies on the suffering of its less successful members and this is ultimately reflected by the fact that poorer countries in the Eurozone don't catch up with the rest of the EU and in fact the opposite happens. Meanwhile for EU countries outside the Eurozone it is smooth sailing because they don't have to suffer for the benefit of a country that is role playing as the hero of the Eurozone.
so im not sure what is the difference between what you wrote and what i wrote ? are you distinguishing between "pretrained models" (as in base models) and finetuned models ?

> It's very difficult to argue in good faith "trickle-down" economics was/is a failure.

Let me ask you one thing in addition: can you explain why "trickle-down" economics is superior to "trickle-up" economics: where the money goes directly to those poorest who need it, cutting out the middle-men; and then when they spend it until it inevitably trickles up to businesses and the more well-off?

How does does "trickle-down" economics compare to that?

I think you're also falling a bit for one of the common fallacies people who have midlife crises have, the idea that there's something wrong with changing the direction of your life at 40, that it somehow means you've failed.

Having helped a couple of people going through that sort of phase, a pretty useful tool I found was to have them think about how much the world has changed in even just 20 years. So, given that, it isn't really that big of a deal that at 40 you might want to do something completely different from when you were 20, simply because your current life is almost entirely different to what it was 20 years ago.

We're long past the times when several generations of people would live and die doing the same thing without seeing any meaningful change in lifestyle and so it isn't that big of a deal if that also reflects in our own life choices.
