What? I never said that. I was explaining gender affirming care. It's not a trans exclusive thing necessarily.

It's literally something that helps maintain a physical aspect associated with a person's gender. Granted, hairloss can happen to anybody, but baldness is highly predominant towards the male population.

But the interview process is a mockery.

You're not necessarily wrong but maybe a bit naive about what cutting edge research entails.

Ok. I'm fine agreeing to disagree.

Because who cares? There are any number of mathematicians out there, why put so much value on one "thought leader"? I just find HNs obsession with knowing what one particular person thinks odd. It's a consistent reoccurrence.

I guess if that's how you feel about it, more power to you. The day I get away from almost all tech will be a good day. Also I get that TSA sucks but I don't think they deserve the vitriol you're throwing.

This is such a brain dead solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. Why push for digitization?

Water is wet.

Why does it matter what Terrance Tao thinks? Genuinely I find this obsession with what some specific math researcher thinks about x topic bizarre.

What do you think of it?

> It’s one thing to be upset and angry about capitalism and businesses.

Right, we should all continue grumbling about it for the rest of our lives as law and government intended. Nothing will change and the meat grinder will continue churning. Imo, this line of thinking of "they're angry and upset in a way that upsets me!" is easily exploitable towards complete inaction.

Also I'm so sorry but having sympathy for effective oligarchs? Come on. Wishing their death might be a bridge too far but at best these people deserve ambivalence, not pity.

It's never an easy thing to do or one that should come to fruition, but yes, I would contribute to the effort for my country if it was so.

No, it's not. But at least they have some relative, albeit flawed, context. It's the difference of having heard of something vs not.

Its broken with alias but what's this about the podman-socket? Do you know where I can take a look at that?

You would be surprised how many people have no idea what "machine learning" means (not even technical definition but just as in the field). I'm working on a PhD in an adjacent field and basically have to tell people I work in AI for them to have any semblance of what I do.

My only problems with Podman is the lack of up to date repos across systems, the fact that the latest raw binaries are managed by a maintainer out of the goodness of their heart, and that the VS Code extension ecosystem for managing pods is not integratable with the existing Docker stuff (and the replacement extensions are woefully underdeveloped).

Otherwise it honestly is great and preferable over Docker.

As a hobbyist photographer, I am deeply touched by this. Thank you for sharing this.

Or you could just use a burner account and avoid this.

Exactly my point, hence why at least from the learning side it works well towards making something that is actually correct. What I was aiming at is that too often people teaching this stuff get lost in the weeds without any clear motivation for what is actually being taught.

As an introduction to the topic it functions very well though. It doesn't matter whether it's valid or not. In fact, I would say that diving immediately into the validity of some bullshit independence assumptions and other nonsense is where you lose most students (it definitely lost me).

I think flawed examples lead to a great way of scaffolding towards the "true" nontrivial answer in a teaching setting at least... I am still exceptionally bitter at how I was taught and forced to learn stochastics and it was very much through a purely theoretical, proof driven, abstract lens with very crappy examples that were more of an afterthought... because of course the theory is all you need to make sense of it!

The same could be said for R and Tidyverse crowd. Honestly two entirely separate visions.

> What’s more, people’s negative moods appeared to be the result, rather than the cause, of the mind wandering.

This is I think one useful take away from the article... on the other hand...

> “A lot of us spend a lot of time trying to optimize the objective reality of our lives,” he told me. “But we don’t spend a lot of time and effort trying to optimize where our minds go.”

I'm so sorry but I refuse to take this seriously. The modern day obsession with optimization is off the rails and honestly is probably the thing that makes most people miserable. My man lost respect with that line of thinking.

But I don't know mind wandering/daydreaming is pretty lit. I like the distraction. Yeah, sometimes it can be a not very positive experience but I feel like these researchers either fail to address or don't discuss the distinction between daydreaming and anxious thought.

I'm so confused. I'm trying to understand what is wrong with mind wandering but to me it doesn't seem clear.

Not to me.

Okay, happy it works for you. Still don't see a point.

But why build a whole VCS around that one use case? I looked through the docs and honestly it looks like it complicates life instead of making it easier.

edit: everyone is so focused on the "single use case" part and not the fact that it looks more complicated and verbose than regular git. Unless everyone using it is some git god that runs into edge cases left and right... maybe my workflow is just not that complicated to need a solution to problems I don't have?

Your mom. But seriously, nothing. Just the problem at hand. What's there to visualize when working on a job? It's not exactly an art and it's a lot closer to mathematics in regards to problem solving.

Case in point. It's hard to value life when you are willing to contribute to the loss of it. I hope that the price of your morals is at the very least high to be sold so easily.

Given that it's a site run by a startup incubator with opaque moderation and a strong American bias, I would imagine that most things that make "line go up" are ok.

Yeah... only downside is that it requires a level of competency to recognize when the LLM is shoveling shit instead of gold.
