Agree with the comment, but riffing on the last few words:

Climate is pretty much my #1 concern about the world, but LLM use of energy is really really far down on the list of important actions for climate.

First and foremost are removing roadblocks for deploying existing technologies for clean energy, and speeding up the necessary supporting infrastructure such as transmission and market policies for choosing cheapest possible solutions (over the objections of dinosaur execs that choose last century's solutions). Then the big hard to decarbonize parts of industry like cement and steel, as well as deploying electrolyzers to get ammonia fertilizer production switched over to carbon neutral production rather than from fossil-generated hydrogen.

Reducing energy consumption is important for advancing AI in general, but ultimately all its energy consumption will be from clean energy sources anyway, and the switch that needs to happen is that switch in energy sources. Reducing energy use by 2x or 10x is not good enough, we must change the sources fundamentally.
What solution does that offer? People have been debating what to keep and cut for generations, as well as ways to improve spending; I don't see any low-hanging fruit or big improvements there.

> It's trauma if they think it is.

This is actually the point I was trying to make.

This is one of the problems with books that push trauma as a catch-all term to cover any stressful situation: An unintended consequence is that some people will read this and retroactively elevate stressful situations to the level of lasting traumas under this new framework.

For a concrete example: Dr. Gabor Mate is one of the more famous podcast influencer personalities. One of the concepts he pushes on podcasts is the idea that trauma begins at birth. He tells stories about working with clients where he's unable to uncover any trauma that explains their current depression, anxiety, or other conditions. Eventually he walks so far back in their past that he gets to childbirth, which he defines as a traumatic experience. The conclusion, therefore, is that they have a form of PTSD from being born.

This is an example of where I take issue with the everything-is-trauma narrative: If everyone, by definition, experiences deep lasting trauma by merely existing, then the term starts to become meaningless.

I suspect what's really happening in a lot of these cases is that some psychologists have been trained to treat severe trauma, but they have fewer frameworks for dealing with more common life stresses and mild depression. Now that therapy has become so normalized that it's being pushed as a solution to everything, these psychologists are trying to apply their trauma toolset to everything. By recasting everything as trauma, they can apply the trauma playbook on it.
This will be fairly unpopular, but we idolize _all_ teachers too much. Wait - Let me qualify that. Teaching, like all professions, has people who are not good at their jobs or just want to coast through. Hell there are doctors who do just that, despite medicine education taking a huge part of their life - but there are less of them for that reason. Teaching doesn't require as significant year sink as medicine tends to.

Not all teachers are good. Some are just atrocious ones with ego, and a lot are there just for the tenure.

I grew up in a small suburban area where a lot of my learned behaviors came from being a mall rat. Since that was the major place I socialized (in the arcades), you quickly learned how to try and signal you're not willing to talk or engage with people. Mainly because malls had a ton of smaller stalls staffed with sales people who would immediately try to pull you aside if you even gave them a side glance and try to sell you a phone plan or other things.

And with HR it can be the same. If the HR have the guidelines of making the employes happy - then you absolutely can share information with them, making planning easier - with the result of a better outcome for everyone. Like when the wife will give birth. "So hey, concratulations, good to know, so we can plan around it" - if it is a good company. If it is a company who don't give a damn and see every person as replacable in an instant, then this is a different scenario and the rule of not giving them anything does apply.

> GDP per capita growth since 1990 is equal to the US

Not it’s not. That’s just an absurd claim. Japan had even GDP per capita with the US in 1990, briefly overtook it ~1995.

Now US has more than twice as high GDP per capita (76k vs 34k). The Japanese economy has been stagnant since the mid 90s…

In PPP it’s almost as bad (45k vs 76k).

Now look at Japan and Germany, they were about even until 2007 now Germany is massively ahead.

> Break ups, failing a class, or even getting yelled at by someone

I agree a lot of people overblow trauma. However it is worth mentioning, all the things that you mention can be traumatizing, though. Like imagine breaking up with a partner of a few years because they've been serially cheating on you and lying about it. Imagine failing a class when you've been pressured by your parents your entire life to do well in school, and you know this is going to set them off the edge. Imagine being yelled at for 20 minutes in front of the whole class as a tiny kid.

Like the question isn't really "is X bad in an objective way" but more "did X create a bunch of problems for so and so that make their life harder in terms of emotions, psychology, etc."

many of them described common life events as “trauma”

We've experienced a massive dilution in language over the past decade or so. I'm not sure if it's because we're churning out more black & white thinkers or incentivizing folks with a victim mindset, but all sorts of words like *-phobic, gaslighting, trauma, etc. have become significantly overused given their traditional symptomatic markers.

It's the language equivalent of WebMD - basically implying that a grab bag of cold symptoms are in fact brain cancer. On one hand it's good that the next generation thinks a breakup is "traumatic", because it means people are experiencing less absolute trauma. On the other hand words have meanings so we can accurately describe the world.
On the other hand, it wouldn't take much doing at~all to modify something that outputs json into something that outputs xml.

>certbot

I'm not surprised the flagship certbot automagically handled the deprecation since you apparently consistently update it. But many setups, especially those without auto-updates and other moving parts, just stopped working. And certbot would've too if you hadn't have made sure it was up to date. And some acme clients never supported 2 and just died. It will happen again.

>a centralized dependency with an inconvenient workaround.

Except there's no workaround with QUIC based HTTP/3 because all the libs people use come without the flags to allow self signed certs. So 99% of browsers/HTTP using software released is stuck with CA TLS or no communication at all.

It doesn't matter if you set up a custom CA for internal use or if you enable it in your custom http/3 lib build of your custom build of $browser. People still won't be able to visit your hosted HTTP/3 site with your custom CA. Not without you installing your root cert in the browser or system cert store of most people on Earth. That seems unlikely to happen.
The term of art there is "concentrated PV solar". Big fresnel lenses concentrating light onto a postage stamp of photovoltaic material. Requires sun tracking to keep the light on the PV, so it's useless for rooftop solar.

If you look it up you'll notice all the citations are decades old. Designed for a world where PV was terribly expensive, so you'd trade a lot of mechanical and packaging complexity to use as little of it as possible.

Then silicon got 100x cheaper. Now every solar install uses fixed-angle racks or just plopping the panels flat on the ground. You lose some efficiency, but land is cheap, so who cares?

> But there are a lot of people for whom "holding it in" and adopting general-purpose stoic principles are enough.

I don't believe this is true - in my experience, the people who fall into this group are more likely to not be able to regulate their emotions properly, usually leading to them perpetuating the abuse. One can't "hold it in" forever - eventually it comes out, usually explosively.
If anyone wants to tackle it, the challenge of creating a superhuman model that doesn't use search during inference is still open. I think I have some ideas, not that I could do it without a lot of computing.
> Some people need help. But there are a lot of people for whom "holding it in" and adopting general-purpose stoic principles are enough.

I think this is too dichotomous. I think it's common for people to just process things and move on over time, which isn't exactly "holding it in". People grow up, mature, learn to get over things, and move on.

But there is something weird happening with a subset of people who approach these now-mainstream psychological concepts not as a way of overcoming, but as a way of moving their traumas and issues front-and-center in their personality. This was one of the more concerning things I saw in the subset of college students I was talking about: People would get diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or ADHD and go on to make it an outward fixture of their personality. With some students I couldn't make it more than 5 minutes into a conversation without them injecting their diagnoses into a mundane conversation about something like a computer science topic. For this subset, it was less about getting over things and more about building a persona. I suspect many of them will grow out of it as they age, but it was very worrying to see it so normalized.

That doesn't mean there aren't three different things all worth considering and addressing. And there is such a thing as a discipline poo-pooing an entire aspect. In this case you describe:

- trauma as ironic, gossipy turn of phrase

- medical trauma (Is there even just one category? doesn't matter here.)

- trauma as short or long experience which leaves a mark which affects day to day life for years.

Just because you might work or consider one version doesn't mean the others are somehow "not legit". When people use a word for some purpose - they still mean something by it. Even when it's easy to dismiss that with a (tm).
Definitely lucrative enough. The use case you've described isn't particularly uncommon, but lots of companies just pay for the egress.

If you start by giving a little bit of context and then jump into some reasonable end of the backlog, then you get to see how they think of priorities, they get to ask you lots of contextual questions, you get negotiate with each other a thing to do, you get to investigate and/or develop a solution, and at the end of it all parties involved got lots of signal about what it’s like and what’s required to do the job. Not to mention you stand the chance of some normally useful thing getting further along too. Work with the person like they’re “consultant for a day” and see where you get to.

Why is our industry so resolute to come up with a bunch of bespoke, oblique representations of a job when the actual job is right there available to be used for assessment?

Yeah I mean its not great. Obviously, having CPTSD stresses the body out and can cause chronic issues. So there a big problem of the intersection of (people with chronic pain) and (people with CPTSD), is non-empty.
