Full agree. My wife is a physical therapist (DPT, Northwestern) and the owner of a PT practice. I say this with some (very limited) authority, repeating things she has said to me:

1) Absolutely seek the advice of a good PT. It's not like going to a chiropractor where you'll get signed up for the "forever plan". You go, pay for a few visits or even just 1 and they will evaluate and give you things to do on your own. You're empowered directly to change your trajectory vs being reliant upon them week after week. In many states PTs have what is called "direct access" meaning they can see and treat you without any MD referrals being required. Also if you can afford it (HSA/FSA accounts are fine here), try to go to a "cash pay" PT that isn't burdened by death grip of our insurance system. You'll get better 1:1 attention and probably a much less overburdened PT.

2) Stand up and walk around at least a couple times an hour (I know, not practical for many of us) for 5 mins or so.

3) Sit on an exercise ball while at your desk and simultaneously think about your posture on a background thread. This will help you with core strength quite a bit over time. This is something most of us with desk jobs (and even most of us period) could use improvement on. She sees serious athletes who even have weak <random latin word> muscles hidden in spots they'd never think about.

4) Sometimes, like when it comes to pain in hands/wrists, you would want to seek out an occupational therapist (OT) instead of or in addition to a PT, who don't specialize in treating those types of dysfunctions.

Good luck getting/staying well!

You pose your comment like the answer is obvious, but I don’t know that it is.

If Tesla can solve FSD with only cameras, then yes, their ability to scale is much better than Waymo’s.

But that is a stupendously large “if”!

I’ve seen the Karpathy quote before, and I think it’s kind of hilarious to compare one company which does X0,000 robotaxi rides per day, to another company which has a robotaxi maybe entering production in two years, and say, “well look, they both have problems!”

Bit of a misleading simplification, no? Tesla boosters assume they will crack FSD, it’s just a matter of time. That seems like a big leap to me.

Imagine modern Russia. You can't have much of an opinion on pressing subjects of today unless that opinion is sanctioned by Russia's authorities - otherwise you're dead, or incarcerated or at best left the country. The propaganda machine is working 24/7. Now, Russia is a young country - counting from the last big turmoil in 1991, it's only 30+ years old - but some of the people there lived through USSR times. And some 100- years ago USSR was going through grim times itself, with millions suffering in purges, and even more millions and tens of millions learning to conform. And, as some prized artists and writers said there, the country killed a lot of progressive and inspired and very many of who're left are those who did purges, participated in them or from their families. So now the Russia's population - many involuntarily - support the war which was started for, frankly, really wrong reasons. And the future the Russia is perhaps looking towards is grim, hard and thankless no matter how things will progress. Can you imagine the scale of the task of getting back from the proverbial pit towards what we'd see as a more normal way of a country, what's going on in the heads of those people trying to live a normal life there?

Now, you might be surprised but America also has problems under the surface. America likes to project the good impression, but certain problems exist, aren't addressed enough for some time, got accumulated and it's harder to gloss them over. And since those problems are decades old, you have some parts of generations quite familiar with them. And we have Trump - first winning in 2016 and then even more triumphantly winning in 2024 - and those "normal", "good" sort of decidedly lost this November to those who's combined message might well be "things aren't well". Maybe we need to look at what's normal, as in if we have that state? Should we consider normal something only 40% think? 50%? 70%? That is, if 30% have long running reasons to think things aren't normal - is it enough for you to pause?

To the melting pot. What would you think if, looking into the pot, at the extreme you'd see the whole pot is full of that pent up anger, and nothing - or almost nothing - of what's "normal" here? Do numbers matter here? And, if they are suddenly too large, what you're going to do with lots and lots of those who'd think, figuratively, that lynching is still a good idea? Or in other somewhat known words, what would you do the good from, if the only thing you can do that is from evil?

I don't run auctions but something tells me there's a lot of research behind them that goes into optimizing for this precise thing. It's wild that the judge is disregarding the expertise of the person who was appointed by another judge to run the auction without asserting that the person is not qualified to run it.
This feels very pie in the sky and dreamlike. Of course some corp will figure out something to do within this space and make closed products that push out free and open uses. At least that's my pessimistic view opposed to your optimism.

The Rails dev says that Rails defaults are very good and so says the Django dev about the Django defaults.

The Django ORM is loved by tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of Python devs globally, and while I could raise concerns about it (for example, the async experimental capabilities fucking suck, and the core dev team is extremely slow to innovate on them on the basis that that's not "the Django way"), I've never heard anyone but a Rails dev complain that it's "too verbose".

People love it so much that they'll do atrocities like import it into Jupyter notebooks or simple scripts that should otherwise have no business in bringing in those type of dependencies. I should know because when I've felt creative and a bit naughty about doing those types of things I've found out - to my unmeasurable disappointment - that there were many other trailblazers before me to write gists, Medium articles, and almost everything every type of format short of an entire O'Reilly book on how to do it.
the only real limit is until you start interfering with other people to the point they notice and complain. it's not like the FCC has vans roving the streets looking for unlicensed TV usage like the BBC but for wifi.

If the bids are secret and the highest bidder pays what they bid then bidders have the incentive to try to bid strategically, i.e. less than what they'd be willing to pay as long as they think that's more than anyone else would be willing to pay. Plus, if there is someone who thinks it's worth way more than anyone else, they could just place a modest bid and then if they lose buy it from the winner for $1 more than what the winner values it at anyway.

The way you can avoid this with secret bids is to specify that the highest bidder will pay $1 more than the second highest bidder no matter how high they bid. Then everyone has the incentive to actually specify the maximum they'd be willing to pay, because if the next highest bid is lower than that they still actually do want to buy it, but they lose nothing by bidding higher because they only pay a dollar more than the next highest bidder no matter what, and then you maximize bids.

But by that point you don't benefit from keeping the high bid a secret anymore, because of human psychology. Someone bids $100, is the current high bidder and thinks they're getting to buy it, then someone outbids them and loss aversion kicks in so they make a higher bid, even though the first bid was supposed to be their max.
Because tons of people are making money with it and want to justify it.

They need to get all the talent that left and joined Apple’s silicon team back, IIRC they tried to get Srouji back by offering him the CEO position in 2020 but he stuck with Apple, I have a strong feeling they are probably going to make him the offer again, if he accepts and the Board doesn’t interfere Intel may as well come out of this swinging.
Depending on your family/travel background, it's very possible you don't or don't enough to need WhatsApp.

We travel overseas but everyone we have met just keep in communication over Facebook.

All our family is in the United States. When we are overseas, we just use wifi calling to communicate back home or since most people have iPhones, iMessage/Facetime.

My brother is about distance of Moscow to Lisbon from me, still a free call since it's domestic.
That won't help. Their TOS and policies are vague enough that they can terminate all accounts you own (under "Use of multiple accounts for abuse" for instance).
IIRC (from mobile), it was a different article from Wired that corroborated this, with a surprising disagreement (from what you mentioned) being that the gig-workers would keep notes that are attached and shared. The notes are per-... random? I suppose they'd be called? The gig-worker's customer is the streamer (or agency) that pays them, so I don't have a better name for the hoarde of people they're meant to be chatting with

Though I don't doubt that less careful (or less well-paid) gig-chatters exist and can have a slightly different feel when handing off a random at shift-change

I'm trying to convey this very thing to my [new] manager and [new] BA/QA. With them coming on and taking over we are now doing agile in name only ... they brought their process/documents/outputs(over outcomes) waterfall ways here. It's a bit hellish lately. (I get those things were needed for SOX compliance but that overhead isn't needed here. They know a hammer, we are a screw. They are now trying to hammer the screw to make things work. SMH)
> And yet - whatever sources you've been reading seem to have left you with the impression that Burns's "brightest of red lines" had in fact been crossed, and that this is what "caused" the invasion.

Mainstream Western press like the Guardian and CNBC, both of which are fiercely pro-Ukraine now. In 2014, before the Crimea invasion:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/29/ukrain...

Nato's eastward expansion was halted by the Georgian war of 2008 and Yanukovych's later election on a platform of non-alignment. But any doubt that the EU's effort to woo Ukraine is closely connected with western military strategy was dispelled today by Nato's secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who declared that the abortive pact with Ukraine would have been "a major boost to Euro-Atlantic security".

Notice that the Guardian's mention of "fascists" is also Russian propaganda now (given the propensity of the Western media to call anyone and anything "fascist" I do not attach too much value to that part, but it is there.)

Before the 2022 invasion, from CNBC:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/08/biden-didnt-accept-putins-re...

President Biden didn’t accept Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s “red lines” on Ukraine during their high-stakes video call that came as Russia’s military builds its presence on the Ukrainian border.

Namely, that means the U.S. isn’t accepting Putin’s demand that Ukraine be denied entrance into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is the world’s most powerful military alliance.

> Why is that?

Because they are standard mainstream sources. You seem to think that only a concrete and signed membership plan is a red line, whereas even CNBC cites Putin's red lines.

I agree by the way that the invasions by Russia are horrible, but please let's not rewrite history.
> Majority of learning surface will come from framework and not the language

Once you get past the beginner level in Django, you're going to pick up a ton of Python knowledge (standard dunder methods, MRO, standard lib, data type's im/mutability, package ecosystem, etc.) and muscle memory along the way. Django (for the most part) is just plain old Python data structures, classes, and functions that a decent Django dev will apart, reuse, override, repurpose, and add on to as they do more interesting things. Python is boring (in a good way), however it has a lot of surface area (std lib is massive) and intricacies that a Django dev will pick up along the way to becoming an intermediate/advanced dev. It would take someone coming in fresh to Python quite a while to catch up. Naturally, if the same person knew several languages, the ramp up would be quite a bit quicker.

Prior to the DMCA this was only a civil matter. A question of whether you were vulnerable to a lawsuit.

Now it is a federal crime to circumvent any digital copy protection measures, no matter how feeble they are. Metaphorically, if the MPAA leaves a locked door standing in nothing but a bare doorframe in the middle of an open field on their digital distribution methods, the US federal government considers it a crime to walk around that locked door.
How was that harassment? They directed a baseless smear campaign which posed a significant risk to Dominion’s business. Unless we’re defining “harassment” as “accountability”, that seems fair.

They link to the complaint, which is obviously a lot longer than the single message [0]. The child, J.F., is autistic and has allegedly exhibited a spiralling trend of aggressive behavior towards his parents which they attribute to the content fed by the Character AI app:

> Only then did she discover J.F.’s use of C.AI and the product’s frequent depictions of violent content, including self-harm descriptions, without any adequate safeguards or harm prevention mechanisms. ...

> Over the course of his engagement with this app, the responses exhibited a pattern of exploiting this trust and isolating J.F., while normalizing violent, sexual and illicit actions. This relationship building and exploitation is inherent to the ways in which this companion AI chatbot is designed, generating responses to keep users engaged and mimicking the toxic and exploitative content expressed in its training data. It then convinced him that his family did not love him, that only these characters loved him, and that he should take matters into his own hands.

Obviously it's hard to tell how cherry picked the complaint is—but it's arguing that this is a pattern that has actually damaged a particularly vulnerable kid's relationship with his family and encouraged him to start harming himself, with this specific message just one example. There are a bunch of other screenshots in the complaint that are worth looking over before coming to a conclusion.

The fact that WhatsApp is also gigantic in large countries with no intermobility between them (Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria) would suggest that the only issue that mattered was the fact that ~2011, mobile carriers would charge insane rates for SMS.
Outliers, bias due to self selection, bad/factually false curriculums we can observe to be in use (not simply worries pertaining to observed outcomes in an individual), institutional methods to force out special needs children to improve averages. These are all confounding factors to a simple and frankly wrong narrative. Perhaps the real issue is our universally appalling teaching in statistics.

Unless you have well designed co-hort studies most of the data just isn't really useful. The SAT, like any other measure that becomes the standard, is going to be gamed. I'm trying to highlight why a shallow and cursory glance at any data can be misleading and adding specific observations as food for thought.

Take it as you will. Test scores surely are directional and with universal declines that is worrying, but that isn't the sole topic of discussion in the thread is it?

The intial ellipses is pretty indicative, it seems clear that radiometric dating is a charity belief and is not something one thinks is a valid mechanism for acquiring accurate data and facts that map to observable, testable reality.

I think most people wouldn't have so much difficulty distinguishing philosophic positions and fact acquiring methodologies, I mean some people view physical reality as not existing and all material endeavor and observation to be a waste, surely that's an equally valid worldview to inculcate and spend tax money on, so as long as mandatorg testing scores are within the margin of error these beliefs have no downside to fund with tax dollars?

I mean if we draw no lines than why teach math or have an SAT at all? Being able to identify and record observable facts are not a critical part of education in some people's estimation it seems.
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I think you ask the right question... who is it for? There are many places to get generic news.

There is no doubt in my mind that the alcohol consumption is much more of a contributing factor to not only the obesity but also the overall decline in health wellbeing and raise in suicide/depression. Alcohol is socially accepted poison, and I feel its consumption in any amount is significantly worse for the individual than any poor diet/exercise regiment.
The water isn't being used for its enthalpy of vaporization, so there's a huge difference between that and using water to transport heat in a closed loop. It's pedantic to worry about the amount of water in the closed loop since it is only lost due to shutdown maintenance activities or leaks. Since the goal is for things to work more than 99% of the time this does not constitute a huge consumption. If you are using glycol there is further incentive not to waste glycol additive which is required to be mixed in at a rate proportional to the refill volume.
So my wife is American and she’s learning Dutch. She seems to be learning about 50 hours of Dutch per year on the app and on top of that 20 hours of conversation with me.

I think she has learned about 1500 words and she’s picking up some of the grammar.

Right now we bought her an actual book to learn formally and it seems that this is the right time to step in.

So from my perspective: duolingo works to start of chill and then start in earnest 1.5 years later without feeling overwhelmed, as long there is a native speaker willing to tease you and ask if you want coffee
