This is really dystopian:

>A major challenge for employers is that employees often remain unaware of their mental health issues until they reach a crisis point, resulting in limited utilization of corporate well-being benefits.

This has become a trope, but the reality is these systems work terribly, even one on one with a doctor, which doesn't have to same conflicts. We need a healthier environment.

What are the advantages of trying to involve the very people that are causing your distress? (although this is somewhat true with the medical system too, but that's a problem for another day). I'm not sure what "utilization of corporate well being benefits" means; a coupon for a therapy portal? Even the doctors and mental health experts can't really help.

> This research addresses this challenge by presenting a groundbreaking stress detection algorithm... Leveraging automated chatbot technology, the algorithm objectively measures mental health levels by analyzing chat conversations

Very skeptical of this working based on modern chat-bot technology, but the idea itself is really dark. The people emotionally abusing you will detect when you've had too much, so you can go back to the shop to get work done.

It's already way too late, and beside the point. I thought about managing mental health with a previous employer, and it was absurd to think about how that conversation would go:

"Do you know where the stress is coming from"

"You're trying to fire me for having a disability"

"Oh, well that's essential to business"

Which is the point. Systems are in place specifically to make the problem worse and induce someone to either quit (see statistic about 60%+ of attrition due to mental health), or too stop complaining, and "fit in". So you leave, or you are bent into shape, until you become overstressed.

It's by design. The point is to get rid of the problem. These systems are designed in opposition to our goals on this issue.

Reverse parenting.

I'm laughing (and crying) with you, not at you.

From my past life in academia, you're totally right. But that kind of reinforces the point... you do occasionally get some budget for servers and then have to make them last as long as possible :). Those one-time expenses are generally more palatable than recurring cloud storage costs though.

> There are 10kloc C programs that could be 10 lines of shell

Only when the shell calls other external C programs. Ten lines of calling ffmpeg or curl is not shell programming.

> there are 1kloc shell programs that could've been 100 lines of C

The 1kloc shell programs are fragile spaghetti that breaks in weird ways. Any invocation of an external program can fail for a variety of reasons, and the shell doesn't provide adequate mechanisms for dealing with it, apart from exit codes and filtering error text output.

The quest 3 does essentially the same at roughly 10x lower price. I say that because I think the price tag makes AVP a non starter for vast majority of families with kids. I think its out of reach price-wise even for a lot of professionals without kids tbh.

But also this is the first version. The original iPhone didn't have copy/paste or the ability to shoot video.

The software will continue to get refined and the hardware will get smaller. It'll eventually fit into roughly standard sized glasses and I think that's going to change everything

So yea, it looks like it would normally be a disqualifier. I'd imagine it's for the same reason that not being a part of a union means you can't be leader of the union.

Or why Boeing should probably have had a signification number of engineers at the top levels over the last decades.

EDIT: There's a peculiar meme that I first noticed in the early 2010s that it's actually good to not know anything about what you're doing because you can "innovate" and "disrupt" better. I remember first hearing it explicitly stated by the founder of B.S. startup uBeam. Wonder how that's turning out...

Wow, at first I thought that was just the first page, but it really is the entire paper.
That's one vector of my "not quite as secure as it could be" statement was thinking about. Or of someone just managed to steal your phone and break into it.

But, there are still other attacks that this setup protects against.

Two-factor isn't "two device", two factor is two factors of authentication, where factors are generally:

* something you know (password)
* something you have (key handshake, totp generator)
* something you are (biometrics)

Storing your TOTP secrets next to your hard passwords is putting eggs in the same basket, I agree. But I'd prefer someone do this than just forego adding TOTP or multi-factor entirely.

And in the end, even if you used two different apps on your phone you're still putting all your eggs in the same basket, which is a trade off tons of people are going to do. Even a lot of very security-conscious users will end up with some TOTP app and a separate password manager, chances are both apps will be installed on the same device. If that device gets thoroughly compromised there's potential for both apps to be attacked and compromised.

If your OS vendor shipping malicious code is a realistic threat to you, or at least attackers being able to impersonate your OS vendor, you're probably going to end up getting compromised even if you split it out into two apps. You'd probably just want to avoid TOTP entirely and move to physical hardware cryptographic tokens.

> The thing I still can’t figure out is, why did Jones publish this paper at all? He’d already landed the juicy Dean of Engineering job, months before submitting it to his own journal.

As a hardcore c++ guy, I recently switched to a company heavily into databases. I never had contact to databases before. And I'd like to go one step further: Why databases?

I come from an industry that heavily uses custom binary file formats. And I'm still bewildered by the world of databases. They seem to solve many issues on the surface, but not really in pratice. The heavy limitations on data types, the update disasters, the incompatibility between different SQL engines etc all make it seem like an awful idea. I get the interop benefits, and maybe with extreme data volumes. But for anything else, what's the point? Genuinely asking

My experience with recruiters on the phone has mostly been those recruiters pulling in one or two extra random people from their company on the call to hide behind as they try to lowball me with fifteen minutes of rambling about market conditions.
I’m sure those prisoners who protested for better conditions and the end of forced labor and were thrown in solitary confinement as punishment agree this whole thing is childish.

I worked for the previous Dean and the guy mentioned in the article. After a conversation with him, it was clear that the college's mission was inverted. Rather than serving the students, the college was there to serve him. Basically, everyone in the Dean's office quit after he started. It is sad because the previous Dean was a civil engineer and spent 30 years at the institution building it up.

This seems overly reductive. Why would you want to take business advice from people who weren't able to build a sustainable business. I get that starting a business is fraught with risk and there are factors outside your control that can impact, but the reasoning on this seems to basically boil down to. "There is nothing you can do to be successful and everything is at the arbitrary whims of fate."

Or to put it about another aspect

> Do too much, and you were sandbagging. Do too little and you're not a competent planner.

BS processes with BS metric targets lead to BS outcomes. In this case, the management is too scared of their own performance reviews (a process) to be unable to take risks (<80% complete) or to accept success (>80% complete).

They would much rather spend months massaging 1 quarter's OKR to fit the 80% bounding box than do any work end-to-end that helps the business.
Uhm ... how can prisons be pay to stay? Do you get a worse prison if you don't pay?
After 80% of the article explains survivor bias, we finally get to the subject (business advice), and this is the gripe:

This to not survivor bias! Call it selection bias if you want, but it's plain old data manipulation!
It's interesting seeing so many of these takes on AVP. So many people imagined how they'd use it when it came out. Now that it's out, they're realizing that reality doesn't meet their imagination. Not that AVP is bad or that it doesn't work correctly, it just doesn't do some of the things people expected it to or it has more limitations than they expected.

Which, to me is odd why they would think this because this is an Apple product. You will only ever be able to use it the way Apple wants you to use it. If it doesn't fit your imagined use case, Apple expects you to adapt.

I personally write myself a letter once a year around new years. Covers what happened over the last year, my 3-5-10 year plans, goals, family/friends/health, photo of myself, etc.

Then the next year rolls around and I compare the current year to the previous year, see if I am hitting my goals & trending in the right direction. Helps me hold myself accountable.

Of all the challenges with using CLIs, the one that bites me consistently is capitalization of flags. Really wish we'd standardized on being capital-agnostic (or even demanding lowercase only).

... but we didn't, so now you have to memorize whether recursion is capital or lowercase R, restart is capital or lowercase R, poweroff is capital or lowercase P, etc.

>Klansmen didn't gain much influence until 50 years later when they had captured the imagination of a certain US President.

While the klan itself didn't gain influence until later, it was one of a litany of paramilitary groups engaged in similar acts. Those groups were very influential, using intimidation to secure Democratic control of the South for decades.

pgmq (which is linked on this gist) provides an api to this functionality. It can be 0 seconds, or 10 years if you want. It's not a row lock in, which can be expensive. In pgmq, its build into the design of the visibility timeout. FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED is there to ensure that only a single consumer gets any message, and then the visibility timeout lets consumer determine how long it should continue to remain unavailable to other consumers.
SQL was introduced in 1970s. Considering vector search was only adopted in the last 5 years, I’m not surprised by the lack of standards on vector API. At Google embedding as retrieval became popular in 2019-2020.

This is the new kid in town so you would see soon all major SQL dbs will support vector. However, any serious user, O(10M) vectors or above, would still require a dedicated vector db for performance reasons.
