You know you're only getting half the security updates though, yea? The Android ones you're getting, but anything in the baseband/modem/low-level hardware you're not.

Don't get me wrong, I think Lineage is great and I use it too, but I think too many people are fooling themselves on how much extra security they're getting using it.

LineageOS will be using the exact same baseband that came with Android 9 on hardware they're deploying Android 12 to, if the phone's actual support stopped at 9. Yes with the new "Play System Updates" there's better security coverage, but it's still a gap compared to supported hardware.
“Following training – both immediately and after three months – participants reported that suppressed events were less vivid and less fearful. They also found themselves thinking about these events less.”

“In general, people with worse mental health symptoms at the outset of the study improved more after suppression training, but only if they suppressed their fears. This finding directly contradicts the notion that suppression is a maladaptive coping process.

Suppressing negative thoughts did not lead to a ‘rebound’, where a participant recalled these events more vividly. Only one person out of 120 showed higher detail recall for suppressed items post-training, and just six of the 61 participants that suppressed fears reported increased vividness for No-Imagine items post-training, but this was in line with the baseline rate of vividness increases that occurred for events that were not suppressed at all.

“What we found runs counter to the accepted narrative,” said Professor Anderson. “Although more work will be needed to confirm the findings, it seems like it is possible and could even be potentially beneficial to actively suppress our fearful thoughts.””
What is mind-boggling to me is that it includes an actual, physical, hardware Gameboy Advance CPU in it for when it's playing Gameboy Advanced games.

I was one of the people who used the 'Ambassador Program' due to paying ~$250 USD or so for it up front (I pre-ordered the blue one, was hyped in the years leading up to it, read every rumor, loved it to death). The program gave a bunch of free games, some not on the eShop, as an apology for the extra $70 or so cost when they sharply dropped the cost of the console not long after release.

I was happy with it.

Mario Kart Super Circuit was a part of my childhood growing up, and I played that one not too rarely. Using the already-amazing swivel-joystick with it was a dream.

Knowing it was actually running on a real-life GBA CPU, like the old one I used to have and played games on all the time growing up, somehow makes it even more special of a memory.

Wow. Thank you for writing this article, Rodrigo. Much love. <3 :'))))
Not exactly what you're asking, but it might be helpful to know that they're not planning to take a direct flight there. NASA is planning to use gravity assists off of Mars in Feb 2025 and Earth in Dec 2026. They can launch it MUCH more cheaply that way but it'll take about 3 years longer than a direct flight.

There's an animation of the planned trajectory on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Animation_of_Europa_Clipp...
I get not defining it yourself, especially if your polyfill is limited to the sliver of a feature you use, but why not check if the feature is there first?

Ok, maybe someone else monkeypatched it. But at least you’d end up using the native functionality if it was there.
For ethical reasons, no participant was given a negative event to imagine, but only positive or neutral ones.

I wonder if using the technique people succeeded in suppressing "negative" emotions but also in suppressing "positive" emotions. In other words, did they just feel less overall? More numb? Or did they somehow feel less "negative" emotions and the same or more "positive" emotions?

I would hypothesize that it made people feel less overall, more numb, or more indifferent, and for someone feeling a lot of anxiety or fear, I think feeling less overall might feel good.

If that's the mechanism, I don't know how adaptive that is in the medium- to long-term.

What you call “reacting differently to” negative thoughts is sort of what the article means by “suppressing”.

A negative thought is often a right turn on a mental track that leads down a dark hole full of more negative thoughts. You may notice the initial one, but by choosing not to go down the hole, you have in a sense “suppressed” all the negative thoughts that were waiting there.

You can recognize them and tell yourself to not keep thinking about it. You may not be able to suppress the initial thoughts, but you can recognize your own distortions that negative thoughts lead to and not allow yourself to keep on the subject. It can help prevent future negative thoughts. It takes some work, but it's one of the strategies that cognitive behavioral therapy teaches you, and it really helps a lot of people!
Last I heard, ChatGPT is the most rapidly-adopted app in the world.

If not this, then what?
The post you replied to said “they're not both girls”. That’s 75% not half.

Weirdly though, “it's pretty much guaranteed that they're not both girls” sounds unacceptable to me, but “it's pretty much guaranteed that at least one of them is a boy” sounds ok-ish, even though they’re equivalent.
Yes, you can achieve mastery over your train of thought.

I do not like the article's use of "suppress" as it is an active and forceful word, that connotes some sort of combat or struggle over the thoughts. It's the struggle that will get you in trouble.

It also depends on the nature of the thoughts and our relationship to them. Sometimes we need to work through negative events, process them, deal with them. This study appeared to focus on future imagined events, which are clearly different, and many of us fall victim to catastrophizing, ruminating, and worrying about things that may never happen, or things over which we have no control.

Practicing centering prayer, or mindfulness meditation, it is a discipline to master our thoughts and not allow them to dominate us. Rather than "suppressing" negative thoughts, they can just be neutrally acknowledged, and released without engaging them. In fact, all manner of thoughts and ideas can be treated this way during a meditation, and we will find that nothing in our mundane lives is so important or devastating that it could take the place of God.

But yes, you can get to a certain age, and with a lack of developed discipline, you will feel trapped and powerless to "control" those thoughts, and the first attempts will feel futile. But it's certainly possible and achievable.

> natural monopolies

Most of the "natural monopolies" we have were created directly as such by governments.

Electric utilities? There used to be competition. Idk what happened exactly, but then we had no competition and they were regulated.

Public transportation? New York's subways (90% of existing track!) were built by two competing companies, then NYC regulated them into bankruptcy, and then NYC acquired them. Similarly with busses and trolleys. There used to be a vibrant trolley system in New York, then the city killed it and "nationalized" it. Compare to Buenos Aires, where they never nationalized the bus system, and which has a privately operated bus system that is the envy of every American city!

Cable systems also had competition, but then all the towns regulated them.

If Edison and Westinghouse could compete a century ago, they could compete today.

Roads are pretty much the main case where I'd agree there's a natural monopoly, and then only because there's not enough physical surface space for competition.

In any case, airlines are far far from natural monopolies. Airports might be, but not airlines.
The GBA CPU is part of the NDS CPU, so that's why it's in there.

The idea that the effects should grow is hard to make sense of, because what's grown is only the lead exposure gap between classes, not the IQ gap. So no change in IQ gap with a change in the lead gap means the lead effect is picking up on confounding, not becoming larger.

It would have to do that be consistent with this claim that the sensitivities have gone up, unless both groups have trended down in lead levels non-linearly.
Thanks for the comment! I definitely expect the pricing model to change over time as we get feedback, but I was curious to see how users responded to the per minute model to start with. Selling in blocks has tradeoffs as well (e.g. if I sell in 15 minute chunks, but the user only needs a couple of extra minutes after 14:30, I don't want to charge for another 15) but I'm very open to doing it if that's what users prefer.

Re: the $60/hour rate: given that online tutoring prices can vary pretty widely (anywhere from $10/hour to $200+/hr), I actually think it's fairly reasonable for a high-quality product. My hope is that the quality of tutors won't feel too variable in practice even if students end up working with different tutors for every session -- it's very important to me that we keep a high bar for all tutors on the platform, so a lot of work goes into the vetting process.

> This doesn’t seem like a common problem but whole system “out of memory” conditions are not that uncommon. When the system is in this state, it starts rapidly paging memory onto the hard disk. UI applications will be affected and this will cause your system to hang without warning and with no way to intervene since keypresses cannot be processed. From a user standpoint, this is worse than a kernel panic. This type of failure has happened to me multiple times on Linux so I know it’s a problem there. Perhaps Windows and macOS engineers have already considered this issue but I doubt it.

In my experience this is only a problem on Linux. Windows and mac will simply inform you that the system is running out of memory and then you can kill things to set it right. No hung system.
Oh no. Without record pattern matching you have to have few extra variables declared in scope. Easy with modern IDE. Async code with either a spaghetti of CompletableFutures or reactive style is a nightmare. But I can achieve the same throughput with a “virtual thread per request” style as with reactive, it’s a game changer.
One made up example that attempts to embody the complaint:

If I visited a site dedicated to hamburgers today, I would not be surprised if the "Log Out" button was presented as an image of a hot dog. It would be a mystery to me what that hot dog did until I clicked on it.

Compare this to 90's UI, where it would pretty much be unheard of to do something like that. It would have been a joke, or a novelty. These days that sort of ambiguous interface isn't presented as a joke or a novelty - it's the real product.

When most people lived on farms (up until the 1950s), there was less need to be good factory workers. But there were more factories offering more employment in America, so the stats say you are correct.

In the liability threshold model for disease, complex traits can certainly have monogenic variants that essentially guarantee that disease will occur. For example, homozygous FH (LDLR) will cause clinical disease onset in infancy or early childhood. But most people with FH don’t have homozygous FH.

In fact, we know that ALS is a complex disease because we know that common genetic variants influence ALS risk, but that doesn’t mean that every monogenic ALS variant is going to have its penetrance and onset modified to the same degree. So by saying that ALS is a complex disease I don't mean to take away from the fact that for some families, their causal variant may have a consistent effect with only minimal variation from the genetic background.

I’m fully supportive of preventive therapy. I think that is the actual future of medicine. And so I am a big fan of the idea of using genetics to identify a population at risk, doing individual biochemistry (or whatever endophenotype people use - perhaps imaging or other measurements) to see if the pathophysiologic process is occurring, and treating to prevent disease.

Is there any framework that can batch LLMs on Metal? I don't think GGML or MLC have it yet.

Otherwise that is just another reason they wouldn't be good for LLM hosting at this moment.

Anyway, the real disruptor is Intel. They could theoretically barge in with a 2x48GB Arc card and undercut the market that AMD/Nvidia refuse to dive into because of their Pro card clients.
For mass market I feel 'free' will always win.

With that in mind I wonder if Kagi would be worth having ads for a free version but be super clear what the ads are based on. E.g purely based on 1) search KW and 2) IP location of the search. Nothing more and nothing additional stored.

I wonder if privacy minded people would be happy with that as it's very limited data in today's ad world, a massive improvement on anything else, plus you can turn if off if you want to pay.

I also suspect it would be ~80% as good for advertisers as so much of the rich segmenting advertisers like to pitch has limited to zero effect and KW/location are the big 2 variables.
This same situation happened in 2020-2022 as well. XOM quadrupled.

This has been known among psychologist for awhile now. In fact someone who is too honest, someone who see's the truth of the world is more likely to be clinically depressed.

https://radiolab.org/podcast/91618-lying-to-ourselves

This podcast from radiolab really changed my perspective on the concept. Pretty much if you're not depressed, most likely some aspect of you is delusional.

I would say people on HN are especially prone to lying to themselves. They lie to themselves about how intelligent they are. Programming is tied to intelligence and people need to think they're smart in order to maintain pride.

Religion is easy to laugh off as irrational for HNers because religion isn't a big part of their lives. Intelligence and programming is a big part of their lives and that's where all the lies live, in something you take pride in.

Additionally people on HN think they're more rational then normal... they think they don't fall into the trap of lying to themselves. I hate to tell you this, but that's just another lie you all tell yourselves.
I guess what I would say is that if this is how patients refer to it themselves, I'm onboard.

This problem always resolves itself naturally. Competitors arise. Disruptive innovators arise. It's a great problem to have precisely because it leads to innovation. Everyone salivates at a cut of what the 800lb gorilla is taking, and the gorilla grows slow as it grows large, and it sits on its laurels extracting rent (vendor lock-in), and then the gorilla gets out-innovated.
Definitely a joke, but also maybe not a joke. Enough pressure was put on pirates through ISPs threatening to drop customers (or was it to sue them?) that streaming services saw greater adoption. People are risk averse when it comes to lawsuits from publishers I suppose.

So you can still pirate, but most people don't. Maybe LLMs will be the same, sure you could use an uncensored/unlicensed model that doesn't pay royalties to publishers, but why risk it?
I just feel like the use of linear algebra terminology pollutes search results. Maybe they should have named it Passta/Meetball or some unique dumb name, and continued the naming scheme after satirical religions (Church of the Subgenius -> Slack, Discordianism -> Discord, Pastafarianism -> Meetball), like name the protocol Passta (maybe figure out a backronym for it), and the client software "Meetball".

> Someone being able to prove they are who they say they are is only dystopian to a vocal minority.

There are plenty of non-dystopian ways for people to do that. I was able to prove that I'm ComposedPattern by typing my password. For a higher-stakes identity, I might provide biometrics or show that my appearance matches a previously-provided photo. Those things are possible without involving the state. In fact, it might surprise you to learn that people got healthcare and paid for housing before the early 20th century! The government doesn't enable people to prove who they are. It forces people to use a single state-controlled identity for, at first, just government services... then finance, then healthcare, then transportation... and now there are bills being proposed everywhere to require government ID for "age verification" to use porn sites or "social media".
