There's no reason they can't. In fact LLMs do seem to be the best at artificial general-purpose reasoning of any attempt so far (pretty much every other attempt has failed miserably). That doesn't mean they're particularly good compared to humans, though. I'd characterize them as very high knowledge, low intelligence.
You took the words out of my mouth. Mental health on the NHS has more or less collapsed under its own weight. All this time limitation, ignoring what you say, forgetting to note important details, pretending at each appointment that there is no history etc is just systemic refusal/inability to offer treatment at the end of the day (not just mental health).

Psych in general is where the whole reproducibility crisis bubble up from. We're paying attention to it everywhere else but the work here is just rotten to the core.

If no one replicates, and especially here, we have major issues because everything is fuzzy.
along similar lines, I noticed that "authority" has two different meanings:

1. I don't care what you think is right or wrong; you need to do what I say

2. I don't care if you do what I say or not, but if you do not you will be doing the wrong thing

call them political and scientific authority for short. the other interesting thing is that religious authority tries to combine both forms into one.
Changing your environment is one of the best things you can do and this has been shown countless times.

For example, it is paramount for an alcoholic to get rid of any trace of alcohol in his home and any other frequented places. Do you perhaps believe that instead he should just "get his act together" and through "sheer will" ignore the temptation of alcohol even if he is surrounded by it 24/7?

I’ve always found it interesting how the word corporation is traced back to the Latin for body, corpus. As in Corpus Christi, the body of Christ, or the word corpse. There is something very organic about the word’s etymology which becomes even more compelling considering the role of corporations in the future of life on this planet.
So if they can't do it, how come they did? If push comes to shove what is worth more in court?

I mean you are correct in that public statements are not worth nothing, but Adobe customers would be incredibly naive if they took this as a guarantee that their data is safe with Adobe. In doubt their ToS are the real test. If they won't use, or didn't plan to use their users data in such way: Why did they add that to their ToS? And if they now say they won't don't do that why keep it in their ToS and push people away for whom that is an issue?

Adobe could have been the trusty software publisher whoose products you rely on blindly, yet on many occasions they have shown that this trust is worth next to nothing to them. For once they could do a thing that build trust instead of acting like a drug dealer, but yeah. Monopolism.

> You have an employee that’s brilliant in technical area X but also has very strong and very wrong opinions about how the company ought to structure its cap table, pay its cleaning staff, and market to potential customers. He gets into constant arguments about these things. What do you do?

The same thing you do with any highly anti-social employee, fire them. It doesn’t matter how sophisticated their technical skills are, if they are incapable of transforming that into value for the company, then their value to the organisation is at best nothing, and more likely negative.

Companies/institutions are social systems, and the phrase “politics” is mostly just used to refer to “social skills”. If too many of the participants are corrupt or incompetent then the social network of the organisation can become especially toxic. But that’s a different problem to the fact that if you want to contribute value in such a system, you need to have social skills.

Can you get value out of somebody who has terrible social skills? Maybe sometimes, but it takes a lot of babysitting. Even then, you’ll never be able to properly trust that you’ll be able to rely on them to do anything ever. So it’s almost never worth the cost.
Geometric abstraction was advanced by Russian abstract painters from 1910-20 or so. Look for constructivism and supremism. They are much closer to what you are exploring than cubism. That early abstraction was looked down on after the Russian revolution because it didn't adhere to the new cultural programs. It gave way to social realism fairly quickly in Russia. Germans adopted it and Bauhaus was directly influenced by it. Cubism is actually an evolution of multiple perspective depiction. It wasn't so much about cubes and angles as showing top, down, left, etc all in the same image instead of just one perspective. Some think of it as a style that Picasso invented, but there were many influences that evolved over time and it wasn't just a style but a whole process. Many other painters of the time used a multi-perspective approach.
> I know some people will think it is morally wrong of me to not be interested in the world and society.

Social media and the news are probably the worst way to be “informed” of the world and society.

One could even argue you’re worse off using those because it gives you the illusion of being informed, without much substance.

You’d be far better off picking up a quality history book (not the popular history books which are a step up from the news), but recognized historical books that are globally recognized as authoritative texts.

If you read one book like that a year you would have already exceeded the knowledge from a lifetime of social media and mainstream news.
My angle is I think those following the field of Psychology are not being mindful enough of when Socrates said "All I know, is that I know practically nothing". At least the author acknowledges we are still in the dark ages in many ways toward the end of their post.

I'm also critical of the post's author when they say "Try to explore her jungles and she will send snakes and mosquitoes to stop you." . 'Nature' as a personification is a metaphor, and animals are not collectively trying to stop you from scientific enquiry. Nor is knowledge being kept secret from you. My view is that all organisms are simply trying to make a living for themselves and why would you imagine phenomena are arranged for easy discovery or otherwise?

My advice is to avoid getting lost in your own analogies. That's the path to the insane asylum. Physician heal thyself!
> Here is a quick and dirty reference discussing how lazy kids of rich people blow it:

The only evidence presented is assertions by companies selling wealth management services:

> "The “third generation curse” indicates that 90% of wealthy families are likely to lose their [money](404 ERROR) by the third generation, according to AMG National."

The only link to further evidence results in a 404; and the only advice is, "Train your kids not to be stupid", and "Use one of these wealth management services".

I think I'd actually seen that exact article before I listened to Piketty's book; but Pikkety actually provides evidence across many different countries, sometimes going back to the 1700s. Absent other evidence (which again you simply assert without giving a reference to), I'd trust an academic more than a company who has a vested interest in drumming up business by scaring people.

ETA: Even supposing we take the article at face value (which I definitely have doubts about), it makes two claims:

1. Of "wealthy" families, 90% will lose it within 3 generations

2. This can be prevented if children are taught money management skills growing up

Even supposing those are true it doesn't support the statement that "generational wealth is generally a myth".

Why? Because % families != % wealth. It's perfectly possible that 10% of wealthy families who consistently teach good money management to their children control 90% of the wealth.
It would detract from any real answer, like making medical/care work more attractive. This might be a very European perspective from me but the people I know who work anywhere close to medicine are doing so despite the pay and working conditions.

>>1) they make the best consumer laptops by far

> Very debatable. That's just your opinion.

Sorry, no, I'm not handholding PC manufacturers anymore. When Macbooks were Intel based there were trade-offs, you were buying a laptop that would overheat and underpeform for the spec. The keyboards were iffy to the point where they removed essential keys etc;.

Now, there isn't a better laptop that's an all-rounder for 95% of people. They are fast, cool, do not compromise on display quality or audio quality, afaik they're the only laptop manufacturer giving you full 40GB/s out of each and every USB4 port and they optically seal them (and always have) making USB-Killers ineffective.

They are stupid expensive for upgrades, this is true, however the comparable systems (XPS/Precision, Elitebook, Thinkpad X) are all within spitting distance of the price and still have significant compromises.

PC manufacturers need to do better.
Indeed, well written too.
Hi Fox, i'm not aware of any other usages on the platform i'm familiar with sorry, maybe a gap in my understanding.

Afaik, if you want access to a chip like TPM, the OS will need to cooperate as such I/O access or MMIO or however it's accessed, will be privileged instructions likely.

I'd find it somewhat logical an OS or loader component starts verification, and then components upwards in the chain are well, chained together via verification, taking away the need to access the TPM after the initial modules are verified.

- Do you have any examples of how else the TPM is used? I'm very keen to learn more about it's use-cases.

Like the article says, threading can be tolerable with a programmer mindset but in more general audiences you often end up with just nests of essentially unthreaded conversations.

Even here it’s a major drawback on the very big threads, because it’s impossible to see what posts are new or keep current on the big discussions.

As soon as you see Dang posting a link to page two and promising software updates in future, you know you’ve no chance of understanding what’s being said.

None of these things are problems with unthreaded conversations, which easily scale to thousands of comments.

Thanks, that's interesting. as commenter noted i'd say this is part of the boot-process, but you are right, it's not technically secure boot related. booting securely != secure boot that's correct :)
Every synchronous call is, in fact, asynchronous. We just hide it on the stack, in the return address, in the TCP connection etc. No call is really blocking anymore, the OS or the CPU will run some other thread. People who insist that things are simpler in a synchronous model are just ignoring the actual mechanics. Which is fine, that's just abstraction.
Not specifically about event-driven, but the most damaging anti-pattern I would say is microservices.

In pretty much all projects I worked with in recent years, people chop up the functionality into small separate services and have the events be serialised, sent over the network and deserialised on the other side.

This typically causes enormous waste of efficiency and consequently causes applications to be much more complex than they need to be.

I have many times worked with apps which occupied huge server farms when in reality the business logic would be fine to run on a single node if just structured correctly.

Add to that the amount of technology developers need to learn when they join the project or the amount of complexity they have to grasp to be able to be productive. Or the overhead of introducing a change to a complex project.

And the funniest of all, people spending significant portion of the project resources trying to improve the performance of a collection of slow nanoservices without ever realising that the main culprit is that the event processing spends 99.9% of the time being serialised, deserialised, in various buffers or somewhere in transit which could be easily avoided if the communication was a simple function call.

Now, I am not saying microservices is a useless pattern. But it is so abused that it might just as well be. I think most projects would be happier if the people simply never heard about the concept of microservices and instead spent some time trying to figure how to build a correctly modularised monolithic application first, before they needed to find something more complex.
Physical and mental well-being are likely linked.

Take for example a diet that causes gut problems, which then causes anxiety to manifest physically, which result in anti-depressant medication, which you guessed it, cause gut problems.

However, when a raise in mental-health issues correlate with a an inequality crisis, de-funding of mental health services, and lowering of national food standards ( UK, Brexit, Austerity ), maybe it's not so much that we can't sit in offices, but rather balance has simply been stripped for profit.
> In the past few decades we changed completely how we are supposed to live... outdoor activity, sunlight, bonding in close communities, quiet time

> continuous stimuli and artificially induced anxiety and stress of modern world

Is anxiety artificial?

400k years ago, humanity emerges. 40k years ago we finish raping and murdering the last of our close ancestors off the face of the earth (Neandertals and Densovians). It's not like we settled down after that. What are the founding stories for Rome: one brother kills another then go one town over a kidnap some wives (rape of the sabine women).

I picked Rome because the Pax Romana was 200 years of peace. ON the back of mass professionalized violence (the Legion). It wasnt exactly a time of ease and abundance out side the select few.

The last dual in America was less than 200 years ago.

2 generations ago you were lucky to make it out of a major war... the ones we have had since have been mild and voluntary.

We live in a time of abundance, ease, and calm in comparison to history.

No bears are going to eat us. No one is going to come in and burn the village down. We're not worried about starving. Or war... the "plague" was a bit upsetting but in the grand scheme of things it didn't kill a lot of us.

Are we supposed to be anxious and stressed for real reasons, are we programed to be that way, and are now freaking out over minor things because we have gotten rid of all the major ones?

> psychiatric models in the 20th century, centered on the notion of disease... ..mental health conditions are to a large extent, a social construct produced by lifestyles

Is the problem medicalization of psychiatry, or is it "sciensification?"

How much progres have we actually made in the last 100 years? Medicine, particularly "wellness" is difficult to map onto an experimental framework. Even theoretically testable, Popper-esque theories are hard to formulate. For psychology/psychiatry... pretty much impossible.

To the extent that treatment is ever actually science-based... "Science" means a pharmacalogical framework, a drug testing framework. You can substitute exercise, talk therapy or whatnot for drugs but... that approach is going to lead you to conclude "drugs."

IRL, practitioners are either entirely nonscientific or extremely narrow... or both. There isn't really a "model of the mind" that's both expansive and scientific. We're dealing with that middle ground of science, philosophy and practical need that tends not to produce knowledge.

Without being disparaging, how much actual knowledge has psychiatry gained over the last 100 years?
> Perchlorate reductase is usually encoded as a combination of four genes, denoted pcrABCD. ... The function of pcrD is uncertain, but may encode a molybdenum-containing chaperone protein specific to assembling the pcrABC system

Odd, why would a chaperone protein require Mo?

edit: Ok, I see. Seems like pcrD is homologous to a part of the DMSO reductase and that has a chaperone that inserts the Mo cofactor (Molybdopterin) into the complex

HTML and CSS are pretty terrible languages. Basic things like form interaction, centering, printing a page of something, overwriting every default UI, etc. often take an odd amount of LOC to make basic things.

We're collectively getting better via following the same spec, which is great, but challenging the browsers and even the spec can shed light on potentially better implementations. Let's not pigeonhole ourselves to a couple vendors just because it's easier and works _good enough_.

My favorite web design is that '90s style where text went from very left to very right, barely any CSS, and Javascript (somehow my favorite language) was for fart buttons.

I'm currently most excited about keeping up with WebRTC. And yeah, I have no interest in writing a new browser engine.
React SSR Framework
Hello everyone. I have created a lightweight React SSR framework. Its main focus is to make it easy for you to quickly integrate the latest features of React, such as streaming rendering, and it supports many performance optimization options. What sets it apart from `nextjs` and `remix` is that it does not require bundling server components like `nextjs` does, nor does it need to use the `defer` syntax like `remix` does. You can simply use `use` + `suspense` to achieve this functionality.
It's the initial state for a self-replicating hardware procedural generator.
