I dunno, the therapists I've been to (half a dozen or so of them) weren't anywhere as helpful as some of the books recommended in this thread (like How to Win Friends and Influence People or Nonviolent Communications).

They often tried to hyperfocus on whatever they saw as issues in my life, or else parrot and rephrase back to me what I told them, with very little in the way of concrete actionables.

The books were dramatically more helpful and totally changed my life.
yeah, something about all those doesn't feel as ubiquitous.
Hollywood Studios, Amazon and Netflix Sue Pirate IPTV Operator from Texas
blocking studio owned distributors from other jurisdictions makes sense, though I'm sure its the sort of thing that would happen on a case by case basis.

Newspapers in general don't syndicate most stories to begin with, so no I don't think it makes sense in that context.

by the way, this isn't some weird new policy. the equivalent applies to studios and movie theaters [1]. we just neglected to extend the policy to online distribution because the powers that be decided vertical monopolies are OK, actually.

The tradeoff is being able to decide how your project should be organized rather than someone else deciding for you. Sometimes you want that, sometimes you don't. The advantage of mixing paradigms in a single technology is the ability to switch / decide on paradigms without switching technologies.
It's not an issue with size. It's an issue with race conditions. With Mongo I can update a.b and a.c concurrently from different nodes and both writes will set the right values.

You can't do that with PG JSONB unless you lock the row for reading...
It is very convenient to send money online, but through banks it is expensive and if you use payment systems, study the question very carefully. i once got to a service that said that the transfer is free, but in the end I was charged a crazy hidden commission, so i now do not experiment and work through Arbonum for 3 years already.
>If a stock tanks because a report reveals the company was cooking the books, that's good for the market and the economy as a whole.

How about when a stock tanks because a report was wrong, or a report was specifically crafted to imply all kinds of things, just to tank the stock price.
Im sure that would be an honest mistake, that they just happen to make millions from. Whoopsie. smh.

I get the relationship between negative facts and a healthier stock market, but is anyone here naive enough to believe humans play things like massive mountains of money, honestly? rofl..

GL with that.
i'm not familiar.
This is incorrect. The article explicitly mentions PFAS as a potential cause.

> So-called forever chemicals like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, better known as PFAS, have been linked to other cancers and could also be driving some of the increase in early-onset colorectal cancer.
We've had plastics for 70 years though...?

Just that trend has accelerated alarmingly.
Relevant, one of Simon Peyton-Jones's claims to fame is that he was too busy researching and publishing world-class research with world-class writing and teaching, that he didn't get a PhD.
What makes this a "systems programming project"?
What credibility? As you yourself pointed out they accomplished nothing.

Some are quite famous, but that’s irrelevant in the face of thousands of years of utter failure to be more than pure entertainment. Try and find any philosophical statement from all that navel gazing which both means something and is generally accepted as true.
The speed of light in fiber (or electrical signal in copper) is less than the speed of light in vacuum.

There are delays (very small) converting a signal from electrical on one end of the fiber to light and back to fiber on the other end. For this reason, DAC tends to have measurably lower latency compared to fiber for in-rack networking.

The length of an undersea cable is greater than both the straight line and the great circle distance between two points on the earth's surface.

These things do not explain all (probably not even most) of the difference between the latency you suggested and that in the real world, but I hope they help to suggest why the naïve calculation is not achievable.
Not production servers, but I use it on my home server running RHEL (and RockyLinux in the future).

I'm okay with using it instead of the shell because I know how to do stuff via the shell but I just got lazy.
It's wild to comprehend what you supposed when one entity is an actual person and another is a corporation
I answered here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39865835
Fair question. People have kept pictures, paintings, art, belongings, etc of their family members for countless generations. AI will surely be used to create new ways to remember loved ones. I think that is a big difference than "keeping around grandma as an AI version of herself", and pretending they are still alive, which I agree feels unhealthy.
Fun stuff, a bit to similar to the DBNZ cpu concept - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-instruction_set_computer
Good algorithms make the market more efficient, and this remark of yours about the future being unpredictable probably isn’t as great of a display of wittiness as you imagined.
I look forward to the inevitable probabilistic sub-bit machine learning models :)
that, on the other hand, does feel as ubiquitous as plastics.
It is tinfoil hat, and you mean "Dual EC", not "DRBG" --- "DRBG" is just the NIST term of art for "random number generator".
I did a trip through a bunch of national parks recently, and was thinking why the hell isn't there some sort of organised transit - be it shuttle busses, or trains for the capacity. The amount of space wasted for parking in a nature preserve was crazy, not to mention all the infrastructure for the traffic jams.

Then went to Grand Canyon and Zion and saw they have shuttles which are sometimes exclusive (if the shuttle is operating you cannot take the road), which makes so much more sense, and even allows for more flexibility (you can go on a hike which is out, and not have to walk back the same way but hop on the shuttle bus).
Relational databases have also evolved. With JSON types you can now easily mix relations and documents.
As a frequent reader of r/europe, Americans have FAR from the worst reputation for tourists within Europe, it's not even close.

At least among larger countries, they might actually have a better than average rep.
That applies to criminal law, not civil law. See Calder v. Bull, 3 U.S. (3 Dall.) 386 (1798).

Here's an article that goes into great detail about the historical evidence for and against that interpretation [2].

Shielded by default or opt in depends on the wallet you use. As you can imagine, a lot of people like shielded by default. There are reasons to have transparent transactions btw. You may want public proof.

Again, it is not the same as bitcoin. Using a mixer does not come with ZKPs. The transactions are also still public. You can see how much was put in and how much was taken out. Worse, you now potentially have traceable tainted coins and a target on your back.

The point of Zcash is the Z. Zero knowledge proofs. Monero uses differential privacy. Zcash has much stronger privacy guarantees.
The credence people give to podcasters with no credentials whatsoever is frightening. Broadcast news has to at least attempt some modicum of truth, but podcasts are a free for all. The number of recommendations I've gotten for so and so podcast "it's really interesting!" that spews half truths and complete bullshit is alarming.
Speaking only about human consciousness here, there’s a perspective that many people don’t contemplate. Most of us feel like we’re inside our heads. We’re looking out at the world “out there”, and our eyes are like windows to that outside world.

But it seems that instead everything we see is rooted in consciousness. A projection based on the combined raw inputs of our sense organs all made into this continuous experience by our brains. So when other phenomena “out there” occurs, it’s not just something we “see”, but it’s also something we are, e.g. a bird flying in the distance isn’t just “out there”, it’s rendered fully by our own minds, alongside the other processes of our brains and within the same conscious space that contains all other aspects of experience, both internal and “external”.

I’m not saying I believe the sun is conscious, but for sake of argument, let’s say it is. Whatever it means for the sun to be conscious, one could theoretically conclude that to whatever degree our thinking minds cause physically measurable phenomena, and to whatever extent that phenomena is “detectable” by or interacts with other conscious entities, some form of “communication” could occur.

But since we don’t know what consciousness is, and whether it is truly an emergent property or as some on the fringes believe, a more fundamental property of the universe, the term “consciousness field” seems mostly meaningless outside of our own first-hand subjective experience of being conscious of the world around us.
Horizontal scaling is still challenging in Postgres. That’s where “NoSQL” systems still have their place. Or one of the SQL systems layered on to a NoSQL architecture, with the trade offs that entails.

A long term goal of mine is to have a local LLM trained on my preferences and with a very long memory of past conversations that I could chat with in real time using TTS. It would be amazing to go on a walk with Airpods and chat with it, ask questions, learn about topics, etc.
"Yeah okay Béla I get it you got absolute pitch, sheesh..."
I think the answers you are getting to your question are reflective of someone we are seeing across many aspects of society. The division between three "haves" and the "have nots".

If course taking a kid out of school for once in a life time events should be okay, even applauded. And children who are excelling should be allowed to take that trip to Europe during school. They will learn more there than in a class room.

BUT, those excuses hinge in good academics and support at home.

I heard someone say once that at the end of the day, everyone is home schooled. If students are not raised in an environment that values education, it really doesn't matter if they are going to school everyday. In my opinion as a dad of two young kids, attendance is a symptom not a cause.

But penalizing attendance issues is a lot easier that fixing the core issues which I think are mostly economic and mental health related.

I and many of my peers grew up with one stay at home parent who volunteered at my school occasionally and engaged with my teachers. Now my wife and I both have to work to afford the lifestyle I had growing up. My kids are going to have to be in after school programs which are basically just babysitting even if I am in a position to afford good mentoring.

Cell phones and social media are also causing issues with older and younger students. Peer pressure is at an all time high and academic pressure is not far behind.

We are putting so much stress on these kids, when they are just kids. They need to explore their world, get their hands dirty and be curious. Not take yet another standardized test. American society is not kind to children.

Back to it being a haves and haves not issues. As someone with a sizable household income. I absolutely afford to supplement my children's education with museum memberships and trips to see events like the eclipse and frankly also mental health support. I am lucky to have a job that I can take time off anytime I want. But this is the bubble I am in of tech workers. The vast majority of Americans cannot do that. This divide is just going to continue to widen the gap.

I don't get it; does the new license prohibit it from being distributed thus, or is this a philosophical "need"?

Private money is what kicked off the National Parks system in the US. Glad to see this happening anywhere. I hope it stays in the public trust though.
Do I think there has been an increase percentage wise in the amount (and in the awareness) of teenagers who don't like various aspects or high school (or children who don't like elementary/middle school)? 100%

But I went to public school not too long ago. High school, about 4,000 people. Really diverse culturally.

I think you can make the argument that you had "the majority" (50.1%, 2k+ teenagers) who "did well/liked it" overall. Did they dislike it for one reason or another? Sure. But I don't think 49.9% were bullied (social media or not). I would say it's a smaller minority/more "fringe".

Not to say that if it's 20% of children it isn't a very large problem. But... if 80% of people 'can and do' make it out + benefit from it + find a way to enjoy it... how come it works for them and not others?
If there's really a "recent panpsychist turn in philosophy", then my first thought wouldn't be that philosophers spent a long time thinking about it so maybe the sun really is alive, it's that maybe the institution we call "philosophy" is slipping away from credibility.

There's value in considering these kinds of things, but maybe only a little more than exploring the lore of a fantasy novel. Maybe elves really are related to dragons but it feels safe to assume the universe where that question is relevant is far away from us and I'm not invested at all in the speculation.
Lol. I don't know why this is such a meme in hacker news. I would be highly skeptical of anyone (from anywhere) who doesn't have a degree. Trying to make a rule from some one in a million type person is such a misguided way to go about things.
It is valid, it is just that the resulting definition of "interesting" is itself uninteresting. The value of a distinguishing function is its ability to split its inputs into various buckets. In this case the "interesting" is just the identity function again; you put in "the set of all numbers" and you get back out "the set of all numbers". While you can create super convoluted function descriptions that map to the identity function, they're really all the same.

To a first approximation, at least. As is always the case in math, you can always split finer, and the field of math readers of HN are most familiar with, computation, you can have visible differences in the performance of one identity function versus another. But broadly speaking from a "conventional" mathematical perspective, they're all the same and uninteresting.

If you also want to get all mathy, the argument does depend on the set of numbers being ordered. It breaks down on numbers that aren't, so, for instance, the proof nominally proves that all integers are interesting (since orders on those exist) but it is invalid on real numbers, complex numbers, and a lot of other things that lack orderings, because there is no first "uninteresting real number".
Notebooks: A New Way to Analyze Papers in Elicit
AWS has been pushing MemoryDB, which is redis compatible storage, works with the redis clis and supports Redis features.

I suspect in the long run, Amazon will eventually "pay" the licensing fee for customers that demand "Redis". But they will push everyone else towards their in-house fork of Redis that they brand MemoryDB or whatever. You will pay more for the Redis licensed version and AWS will steer you away from it, but it will be there if you are adamant.

This is already happening with Aurora, which has Postgres and Mysql compatible versions. If your company is big enough for special pricing, then you know they want you on Aurora. The pricing discounts for Aurora are insane (50%+) compared to what you might get on a traditional Postgres of equivalent size (20%). They will probably do this with MemoryDB and Redis eventually. Redis is available if you really need it. But this other thing that they maintain is discountable to half the cost of the other one and it becomes a pretty obvious choice.
I think panpsychism might be explained as an observation of prevalence of goal-oriented behavior [1]. In a nutshell, as M. Levine said (paraphrasing) "evolution doesn't create solutions but rather it creates problem solving machines", so it is natural (to me) that we can expect evolutionary systems that are old enough (biological lineages, and star systems) to accumulate behaviors that we now see as "goal-oriented" where the goal is perceived by us as a problem to be solved or a set of problems to be solved, in a particular way that is related and explained by the evolutionary trajectory of the system being studied but might not be "justified" outside of this particular historical frame.

I don't think calling China's actions for the past 4 decades to achieve this exact goal a "conspiracy" is reasonable.

> with notable variances in mortality and DALYs between areas, countries, sex and cancer types. Encouraging a healthy lifestyle could reduce early-onset cancer disease burden.

and...

> Dietary risk factors (diet high in red meat, low in fruits, high in sodium and low in milk, etc), alcohol consumption and tobacco use are the main risk factors underlying early-onset cancers.

seems to indicate that the authors of this article were not pointing the finger at environmental causes.
More libertine sexual habits. They are already causing an increase in pharyngeal cancer.
> The balloon analogy is a 2 dimensional example. If you are on the surface of the balloon, there is no "edge". You can go forever in any direction. If the balloon is inflated, it doesn't expand into something (remember we're in a 2D space, it's not a 3D balloon), it "expands into itself".

I'm talking about 3d that we live in. We're currently standing on a ball of dirt, if the earth started to swell up, the surface we're standing on would expand into space. The thing we're standing on that's pushing outward is what I mean by "edge".

What is the universe expanding into? If it's pushing outward in all directions, it's pushing into something, the same way a swelling earth would expand into space
Similarly, a real-time voice to voice translation system that uses the speakers voice would be really cool.

The main use case I find myself reaching for JSON/JSONB fields is unstructured map-like metadata, like KV tags on a resource, where the data model/domain has no expectation that any given field is set.

I don't know why it isn't more common, especially when most parks have a relatively short main road/loop that 90% of visitors never leave. Yosemite for example has a great bus system that goes everywhere you need, except that they don't block private cars so the buses constantly get stuck in traffic. I think the exclusive shuttles at Zion are relatively new, so maybe it will spread to more parks in the future.
You missed out the bit about crystals, and how our vibrations influence our aura.
I'm in exactly the same boat. Yeah ofc you can run LMs on cloud servers but my dream project would be to construct a new gaming PC (mine is too old) and serve a LM on it, then serve an AI agent app which I can talk to from anywhere.

I also think these are the culprits, and ultraprocessed food is the ultimate.
Very cool story; thanks for sharing!

I think a major fault in the industry is "find somebody who's good at X". It's not a necessary or even optimal requirement. Common Lisp doesn't have too many particularly odd language features; I'd say learning the Rust borrow checker or Scheme's call/cc is more difficult than anything Lisp has to offer.

What organizations need to do is prepare to let smart engineers self-train on the language as a part of on-boarding, instead of making it a hard job requirement to know the tools before walking through the door. In my experience, even for good programmers who are pretty green in their career, are entirely productive in just a few weeks—maybe a month total. That includes learning a new language, a new editor, and a part of a new code base.

Perhaps counterintuitively, the hardest people to teach Common Lisp to in my experience have been "senior software engineers" who transition into the project, who are so dead-set on their preferred languages and tools that they're entirely unwilling to even try something new, even if they're being paid to do it. Instead, sometimes, they'll find it preferable to do political maneuvering to avoid it, either by carving out a new module in their language, by petitioning to rewrite it, or by prioritizing other things entirely.
Wankels can be made extremely compact so that might have something to do with it, i.e it has both very high power to weight and power to volume specs. I honestly don't know if that is the reason though, perhaps someone more knowledgeable of the specifics of range extenders might chime in but I imagine that is an important factor.
This is actually pretty common. My company did exactly that with an Apache project founder. I know of several others. They still work on their own project, but have to shift priorities.

Sounds like that's basically what happened here, too, except not with Google. I'm not sure why.

That makes it sound like national parks were invented in the USA and there are no national parks in Europe ... So when a new store opens outside of the US it's called European Wallmart?
Of course not, but even by that analogy airplanes manufacturing is <1% of total manufacturing and we are worried about planes.

That 1% of the time software is critital, it is messing too many lives... things like royal mail and what not.
