Cmon, just 600 out of 7 million people experienced this. You have my sympathy but we can’t take every imaginable condition into account and make it a legal requirement. Just today i’ve read that Costco called back all their butter to destroy it because they forgot to print that butter contains milk. It’s getting absurd.
Genuine question: who is using Keras in production nowadays? I've done a few work projects in Keras/TensorFlow over the years and it created a lot of technical debt and lost time debugging it, with said issues disappearing once I switched to PyTorch.

The training loop with Keras for simple model is indeed easier and faster than PyTorch oriented helpers (e.g. Lightning AI, Hugging Face accelerate) but much, much less flexible.

I have a disability that has to be accommodated. It is very legitimate, but it is not exactly 'easy to see'.

I have mountains of paperwork I submit at this point, because over time I have noticed a simple 1 page medical explanation was starting to get rejected, so I'd have to go back and forth getting more and more. Now I'm at the point where I am submitting 25 pieces of discrete information, from multiple professionals.

Frankly, it feels humiliating but I would negatively affect my life I didn't go through the rigamarole. Then there's the whole 'is this influencing whether I get promoted or not' questions and such.

When WFH became common place, it became so much easier for me to exist as a human being with some dignity left on the table, but alas, who cares about that, god forbid we give that any credence in the modern work place.

There's already a huge body of work about how people with disability face discrimination in multiple aspects of our lives, including work, yet the culture still thinks people want to declare these with HR because it makes their life easier? Oh it sure doesn't.
I was surprised to see Gen Z called out here specifically, though I guess it depends on where you live/grow up as well. I'd hazard to guess most of the millennials I know also haven't been to a rave!

I don't think there were any available in my hometown (or they were too underground for me to have ever heard about!), and there wasn't much exposure to electronic music at all, so it's not an experience I'd ever considered trying to find out how to have.

Just one person's anecdote, of course, but I wonder what the balance of generation vs. location is!
This right here is why I love HN. I've searched for years for this. Thanks so much.
This is the same fallacy that people make when they learn a new language, so they pick up anki spend a ton of time on it and most burn out, some don't, but neither see any real benefits greater than if they just spent that time on learning the language. The fallacy comes from the fact the goal of learning isn't to finish problems quickly, but to understand what is trying to be said or taught.

For example you claim that addition flashcards and times tables are invaluable, but you don't specify a base, in base 2 you have 4 addition flashcards, in base 100 you have 10,000, clearly understanding addition isn't related to the base, but flashcards increase as base increases, thus there is a relation, implying of course that understanding addition isn't related to the number of addition flashcards you understand. Oh but of course they aren't invaluable in understanding addition, they are invaluable in understanding concepts that use addition, cause ... why exactly? You saved 1 second finishing the problem that you may have understood before you completed that addition step? You didn't have to "context switch" by using a calculator? Students who don't know the sum often give unused name and go back at the end of the problem and solve it later. This behavior is of course discouraged since students can't understand variables until much later if ever and not knowing something you were taught represents the failure of the student and thus the teacher, school, government and society.

Infinitely better is learning from someone who speaks the language.

The Sentinelese are super close to us. They're hunter-gatherers, we were living like that practically yesterday (20k~30k years ago). Same genetics, same culture, just a little bit isolated.

By the way, we have no idea what the Sentinelese think of us or our technology. We don't know if they see it as more advanced or not, or how they perceive our presence. The only thing we know is that they're hostile towards visitors.
This still leaves out non cooperating image generators, and the real bad guys (organised disinformation grups) will use them.
I would characterise surrender and acceptance as very similar. So in your case you accepted the situation, which I would call surrendering to the universe, or to reality. But yes, in no way am I suggesting that one joins a religion or a spiritual faith during a crisis. It's more like, if there is a time to believe in a higher power, even if you've never had any inclination before, it's this kind of situation.

In very expensive cities like NYC, Boston, SF it'll be $4k+ for 1 to 2 bedrooms, $5k+ for 2 to 3 bedrooms.

If you have 2 buddies and going on a $5500 3 bedroom in Boston, you'll likely be requested first rent + last rent + deposit + broker fee (=1 rent) = 4 * rent = $22k just to get the keys. That's $7300 per person. This is only to get the key, the next month you pay rent #2.

If you're going on a $4k 1 bedroom by yourself (or with your partner) you'll be hit with 4 * 4=$16k upfront cost, or $8k if you're lucky and have a partner.

Renting is extraordinarily expensive in big cities in the US right now. I'm sometimes surprised people can survive this market. I make ~$150k a year in a lucrative software engineering role, and rent is still too expensive for me. It's very difficult for e.g. teachers, researchers etc making ~$70k a year etc.

Some cities will be cheaper, some will be more expensive. E.g. I know that Philadelphia is particularly cheap when it comes to cost of living. Chicago is expensive, but seems to be slightly cheaper than NYC/Boston etc...

I could probably come up with a bunch of plausible reasons it would make a difference, and a bunch for why it wouldn't.

Seems like a good question to ask for that reason alone... it strikes me as the type of datapoint that would allow researchers to narrow in on what's going on in the brains of people who experience it.

<< When someone claims that they're unable to work in an office because they're suffering from a stress disorder, it's reasonable to have some followup questions about how they manage the disorder on other occasions that call for them to leave home.

I personally went through the whole HR to get approved for WFH after pandemic subsided and my former job decided to bring everyone in. I went with doctor's notes on stress and everything. I was offered a room to have a quiet moment in and (edit: ) told I can use FMLA if I want. I quit as soon as I found a new position ( the timing was fortunate too, because that was at the very end of the 'appeals' process so I was able to send an emphatic no email ). It did not feel as good as had hoped.

Still, I completely buy that there are people who will 'abuse' the system, but I also agree with you that HR drone determining whether I fit a set of criteria listed on its chart ( and every company in US is a little different... ) does eventually get to you. For one, they are not my doctor. I remember snapping pretty hard at one girl and I had a visit from VP about my behavior.

Honestly, I do not think WFH is too much to ask given it has been proven to work.
"True" is such a power word here. It's a symptom defined condition like ME and we're seeing epidemiology and medicine do what it has to do: weak evidence can make for bad science.

I am not in medicine or epidemiology. I am confident sufferers have symptoms and I do not believe this is a totally psychosomatic problem, or driven in anxiety & depression both of which have been said of ME.

Wiser minds will comment more. This isn't a "bad" BMJ piece it lays out how hard it is to go from symptoms collections to a true understanding of a disease aetiology.

Be kind to long covid sufferers true or otherwise. It won't be fun being told you may not exist.

The RVA23 spec has only just been ratified a couple of weeks ago. It will be a couple of years before there is hardware supporting it.

A suitable RVA22+V chip (SpacemiT 8 core) has only been out on dedicated dev boards for a few months. That's probably going to be their 2025Q2 main board.

Their 2025Q4 main board will be the first high performance RVA22+V one. If the chip happens ... it's struck some political (sanctions) problems.

JH7110 is the right chip for a first board to get the wrinkles ironed out. No one has ever done a 3rd party or non-x86 mainboard for Frame laptops before.
LLM can only provide statistically most likely diagnosis based on the training data.
If used by the experienced doctor LLM can be a valuable tool that saves time and maybe even increases accuracy in majority of cases.
The problem is that LLMs will be used to replace experienced doctors and will be used as 100% accurate tools.
This will result in experienced doctors becoming first rare and then non-existent and outcomes for patients will become increasingly unfavorable due to LLMs always producing a confident result even when it would be obviously wrong to an experienced doctor or even just a student.

So why not raid the corporate offices too? Why, out of all of the people and organizations involved, just the CEO?

The FBI is quite good at serving multiple warrants in multiple locations at the same time when pursuing conspiracies. Presumably, in the scenario where they are the conspiracy, they could do just as well.

It doesn't seem like a great conspiracy theory to explain what actually happened.

“Journalism” isn’t failing to report a story because of who it might offend. If it happened, it’s valid. Even worse, journalism isn’t telling the opposite story because the real story might offend.

That’s the problem with the Guardian. They spend a lot of this time writing defensive stories, while missing the real ones.

Didn’t Guardian write a single story about how Kamala Harris got her political start under the patronage of Willie Brown? I don’t recall a single Guardian story critical of anything Kamala Harris did once she became the candidate.

But personally I do wonder what is best between (1) leaving without any impact on the rest of the herd, or (2) trying to be careful about what you do, raise awareness and try to move the herd in the good direction.

He actually did know how to code. He and Woz created the classic video game Breakout while working at Atari. (I have no doubt Woz did most of the heavy lifting.) It's not that he didn't know how to program, it's just that coding was not his strong suit.

From the looks of it, each module has plenty of tests - and the codebase is written in a spring/boot style, making it fairly intuitive to navigate.
It's more complicated than that—this trade-off between using a tool to extend our capabilities and developing our own muscles is as old as history. See the dialog between Theuth and Thamus about writing. Writing does have the effects that Socrates warned about, but it's also been an unequivocal net positive for humanity in general and for most humans in particular. For one thing, it's why we have a record of the debate about the merits of writing.

> O most ingenious Theuth, the parent or inventor of an art is not always the best judge of the utility or inutility of his own inventions to the users of them. And in this instance, you who are the father of letters, from a paternal love of your own children have been led to attribute to them a quality which they cannot have; for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.

Agreed. These sorts of accommodations are heavily abused in academic settings already. For example, I’ve seen situations where a parent says something like “my son has a disability that just happens to mean he should get a bunch of advantages on the upcoming exam but does not affect his life in any other way whatsoever”.
Z2 sessions are supposed to be boring, they force you to endure the mental pain of not feeling physical pain when doing something dull.
They also train you to listen to your body.
Doing something else while in a Z2 session is going to kill those Z2 gains.

And overall, being bored is great for the mind, help with creativity, problem solving...

Once you embrace Z2 sessions, they became some sort of meditation, with the endorphins helping after a few hours.

Watching a video or typing stuff will remove all those potential benefits!

Sometimes it's nice to not overthink or try to optimize everything. Just enjoy the moment, enjoy the mental pain.

Emphasis mine.

I don't know how bad the blurring was in motion, but I read the petitioner's argument as "this version is worse in every way for reasons that are only hypothetical". I really don't see much room for a generous interpretation.

You're right, I had been using a definition of regulatory capture that doesn't really fit what I'm seeing when I look it up. I learned it to mean capture of market share through regulation, either by getting your competitors banned, forced creation of consumers through law (like car seats/helmets/paper straws). Maybe someone knows what that is called?

Instead, it means regulatory agencies become dominated by the interests of those they were originally charged to regulate.

I still speculate this raid to be Kalshi/Robinhood/whomever to be going after polymarket at a prime time- the concept of betting on events got huge and the industry of event-hedging directly (avoiding the stock market proxy) no longer needs to band together to get the idea out- now it's a matter of getting all the consumers to choose your particular product vs a competitors.
