Hard disagree here.

One way to think of an economy is GDP/stock market/etc. Another way to think of it is: "What is the maximum level of poverty before there's a revolution?" Moving people from the poverty class to the middle class should be a basic goal for any economy -- because it's likely to affect the most citizens.

> That's not an argument.

So if you're in small town Nebraska in 1910/20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90's, it was super hard to learn calculus (one example) unless you enrolled in college and traveled to the university/college, etc. Why? No one else knew it, nor could they teach it.

Back before 2000's era, people were held back, mostly based upon where they were born. In the internet era, you can be a millionaire/billionaire without having to travel to the shit hole that is silicon valley. Amazing!

Edit:

I saw your edit, and yes, you would expect poverty to go up in a down turn economy. But you would also expect it to go down if economic gains are truly affecting everyone, and not just the rich or upper middle class.

ECT therapy is AWESOME. It can treat depression and mood disorders, and it can help with severe epilepsy.

It was falsely maligned in the "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", because it can _look_ upsetting. However, even when it was done without anesthesia, it caused amnesia so patients didn't remember the procedure itself.

Yes, I agree with both your comments. I agree that diagnoses and therapy aren't the problem, and I like your hysteria comment.

I realize now I was completely focused on the portion of the excerpt that "It takes Shrier until Page 70 to acknowledge that the vast majority of American children are not, in fact, in therapy" even though the premise of the book seems to be that kids are messed up, and it's from therapy.

And yeah, not carefully measured before and IMHO add some amount of: families used to deny issues, cover things up, send kids away, etc.

Best wishes to you and your family with everything!
I really wanted a heat-pump dryer but the problem is that they seem like they are all designed to go in tiny European closets.
I am not space constrained and would like a larger dryer, with a big filter and a larger drum. It seems like everyone has problems with the filters, and I imagine that at least some of that has to do with the compact form factor.

Out of curiosity, how much memory can a single app actually use on the Vision Pro? I know it physically has 16GB of RAM but mobile OSes usually don't let an app use anything close to the entire memory, and that arbitrary limit will dictate how big of a model you can load.
Whoa I missed that and several others - not sure what happened there. Added above now. Thanks!

Another way of phrasing this is 23% want a job earning more than 25K per year and are incapable of finding one. I can’t imagine living on 25K per year. While I would technically be “employed” I wouldn’t be happy about it. What is the purpose of measuring employment? I think satisfaction with one’s living circumstances is certainly part of the reason. From that perspective, the measure proposed in TFA makes some sense.
Oh, for sure. Giant C++ projects have lots and lots of issues.

Yet, they do useful work and just abandoning them in-place and rewriting them from scratch is rarely a good solution for these problems.
This will depend on how accurate the machine is. I assume that not only are there restraints to keep the head in the right place, but that the machine targets the beams based on where the head actually is rather than where it expects it to be. I also imagine that ultrasound is also being used to precisely locate the brain or even the targeted section.

For the Alzheimers treatments, it seems the damage (if it can be called that?) is subtle enough that it only lasts 24-48 hours, and shouldn't have side effects if that is true (the drugs themselves will of course have side effects). For other treatments, it is essentially pinpoint surgery, so has all the same risks, but less so because pinpoint. I can certainly imagine that destroying a few neurons to treat essential tremor could have drastic side effects.

I need something which allows me to interactively re-arrange the date on-the-fly --- if you've never worked w/ Improv it's hard to express.

as the article points out, in the book as written, paul (who is named 'paul', a roman family name that became popular with the spread of christianity because of the apostle of that name) and jessica (who is named 'jessica', from shakespeare's 'the merchant of venice') are speaking 20th-century american english. (i assume this is also the case in villeneuve's film, which i haven't seen.) this is clearly implausible; we can explain it as an instance of the common practice of translating dialogues and sometimes even people's names into the language you're telling a story in

but if the entire language they're speaking is rendered in translation, why not 'atreides' and 'duncan idaho'?
Ask HN: Is employment termination during stem cell transplant legal?
I have a family member who was let go by his employer while he was recovering from a stem cell transplant. While interviewing for his role with this company, he knew that he was going to need the transplant in the next month, and he made this clear to them in interviews and when he accepted the offer. They were very supportive initially and even pushed to get him onboarded so that he could be on their medical insurance (fortunately he didn’t need it). About one month after the transplant (also about two months into his employment), when he’s just about at his lowest point physically during the recovery, they let him go. Is this illegal for them to do (he’s in CO?) Does he have any grounds for a lawsuit?

Unfortunately, this recovery has been really brutal for him with lots of GVHD to deal with, so he hasn’t been able to look into this more or get another job. I would greatly appreciate anyone’s input on this
For me, the peak of decentralization efforts were Beaker Browser [1] and Stealth [2].

But one project didn't make enough money and the author of the other one got doxxed into oblivion, so I guess we can't have nice things.

A peer to peer browser has so much potential, I wish somebody else might give it a try. Imagine the possibilities when you can just share the content with others, without needing a web server.

Does anybody know whether there's a decentralized (static/generated) blog for ipfs or similar? Maybe that would make a nice starting point.

It's scary how much code out there is less than 4 years old, and even scarier how much of it is because someone decided to somehow rewrite it unnecessarily and thus introduce this bug. I don't even want to know how many people think the code they wrote will be in use for more than 4 years.

Right, but that doesn't do anything unless there's life-savings-amounts of money on the line such that anyone is incentivized to actually try. And even when people are incentivized, just look at the stock market for clear evidence that it doesn't work: a market doesn't magically make people good at things; people screw up and lose bets and go bankrupt all the time. Sure some of the decently-competent banks and hedge funds don't---but there is no reason to think there are any actors close to that sophisticated on a prediction market.

> Someone making 15k a year working 40 hours is functionlly unemployed, in every sense of the phrase imo

We have a much better metric for that though, which is the poverty rate.

You can be employed and in poverty and you can be unemployed and not be in poverty. You can even be earning less than a living wage and be out of poverty if you have savings or other financial assistance from family, etc.

Tracking unemployment for what it is makes sense. Muddling the term doesn’t.
The thing is only one and a half foot tall on average and has ~1500 stones, so rather than moving large stones they could have simply incorporated large stones that were in useful locations. It’s an artificial structure, but they didn’t need to move every stone just most of them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a small hunting party could have saved time after building it because it lasts a lifetime and people hunted regularly. However, reducing the number of failed hunts was probably more important than making hunting more efficient. The transition to farming was a major increase in effort for a consistent food supply, this is could have been an in between step.

One thing that's nice about the changes in perception and tolerance of cannabis use is that now we can actually get some real studies on the thing.

Ah, so you're talking about how the CNS is sort of part of the brain. That's valid, I think.
No - that they are both &mut _ indicates that a mutable reference is being acquired regardless of whether or not they’re used for any mutation. Possibly the compiler could automatically lower to a shared reference if it detects no mutation access locally but there may be design reasons why that’s impossible (+ you can’t have a mutable and a shared reference simultaneously anyway so downgrading to shared would still be disallowed)
Founder here. Jason (OP) and I think about this a lot. The balance of cluttering everyone's names on the left panel, v/s making it feel like you're in the same room as these people.

If you look at feed based platforms, they tend to get very asynchronous (almost forum like). And so our design for the real-timeness of the feed was to emphasize the fact that you're in this room with these people, and they're talking right now. It's really fun when a new thread pops up, or a new chat emerges in the feed. That is exciting.

I think perhaps it would help to show a list of online people, so you feel like starting a conversation. Or, perhaps, just seeing other people participate would help. There's surely room to optimize to get the conversations going.
Sorry to hear, our personal experience with ABA isn't really what you are describing. I also don't think ABA is outdated given the new software available and also because most child psychologists, pediatric neurologists, BCBAs and more still recommend and really emphasize ABA for Early Intervention today because it "has significantly more published scientific support than any other form of educational therapy."[1]

There are certainly alternatives to ABA such as Floortime[2] and now that it is accepted by insurance in some states[3], caregivers and their children have more options thankfully.

JSR (JavaScript Registry): First Impressions
Everyone who has been around this game for long enough has scars. At one point in the early 90s I was asked to take over maintenance of a vertical market accounting app that had a few hundred users. It had been written using Lattice C, but at the time was being built with the ultra modern MS C 5.1.

The first time I looked at it, I saw that the make file set the warning level to 0 and redirected the output to NUL. Removing that, I ran nmake and prayed. About 45 minutes later it finished building, evidently successfully. It turned out that having the warnings actually print added 10 minutes to the build.

It was averaging more than one error per line of code at /w3. And it was around 40k lines of code. Not large by the standards of today but huge back then for MSDOS. Peeking, it used K&R c and included no header files. So step 1 for me was to hook up some scaffolding using various tools from mks to make sure as I edited things that the error count didn’t increase.

The biggest thing I learned from this project was to not combine other coding with the warning removal or other cleanup. Makes it much easier to spot when you introduce bugs.
You couldn't write explicit lifetimes before NLL, either. (Nor does conventional type inference mean you can always write the type! This is why people who design type systems care about "principal types.")

NLL (and even moreso Polonius) brought the borrow checker closer to how programmers reason about lifetimes in their head than it was before, empirically speaking. The thing you described was a worry at the time but it never turned out to be accurate.

If there is anything about the borrow check that does match your description, it is things like "borrow splitting" and mutable reborrows, which can be done locally but are not expressible in function signatures. These problems existed long before NLL, though, and don't have anything to do with syntax or lexical scope.

I love upgrading my pc to ridiculous specs, playing in 8k, opening stupid amounts of apps and not worrying.

I was pondering about the 5090 earlier today. For the first time, I'm not sure what I could do with it. No flagship game, everything already runs fine in 8k. No mining.

I'm sure it'll be great for some people who want to upgrade, but I fail to see what would actually leverage it, better than a 4090.

Founder here. Struct is designed for both teams and communities. Because the problems affecting Slack and Discord are the same. We already have a bunch of community features, like publicly indexable knowledge base from threads, public-to-internet channels -- which are being used by many OSS companies (list on home page).

Teams is a different product. Companies who use Teams are there because they have tight integration with Microsoft Office, which is the USP there.

One way to look at record labels is like an investor, but I think that brings the connotation that if the business fails the investor is simply loses money.

In reality, record labels basically loan a lump sum to the artist to pay for producing the product. This loan also comes with a contract to own some/all of the final product. The artist then has to earn that money back in order to pay off the loan before they ever get a share of the profits.

It's easy to say that musicians should be more careful with the contracts they sign, but the system is kind of stacked against them if they want to pursue this career. Nowadays, you can make it fairly big (possibly) by doing most things yourself but record labels are still out their signing artists.

EDIT: I was incorrect. You don't have to pay back the record label if your music makes no money. I have removed the statement that implied that.

No, this removes plaques, and having plaques means you already have Alzheimers. This just slows or stops progression.
