I'm all about hating on the psychiatry profession, but I believe what may be missing here is that these diagnoses are always optional.

If you like your grief, you can keep your grief. But if you need help, the criteria need to be there for you, for insurance companies, employers, and such to systematically do all their accounting and such.

It's a bit similar to a lot of controversies around the autism spectrum. If it's just a personality quirk and you're a functional adult then it doesn't really matter if you meet the this or that criteria. If you like your autism, you can keep your autism.

It's not the size of the landmass that counts, anyway. It's how you use it.

I believe this is a "good" bubble in the sense that the 19th century railroad bubble and original dot com bubble both ended up invested in infrastructure that created immense value.

That said, all of these LLMs are interchangeable, there are no moats, and the profit will almost entirely be in the "last mile," in local subject matter experts applying this technology to their bespoke business processes.

This is leftist propaganda masquerading as objective research, entirely ignoring the significant amount of "hate speech" censorship that goes on, as well.

Whatever your opinion about what books should or shouldn't be banned, claiming the issue is pretty much exclusively one of censorship of LGBTQ material is inane.

Let's make us American workers even less attractive in the most globalized and exportable industry of all by playing Wagner Act games.

It's inevitable that social media will split up into separate and distinct networks of people who can no longer stand or even undertand the other sociopolitical tribes.

All of us sharing a singular global network was an exceptional and ephemeral circumstance.

They're just encrypted IQ tests, working around the Duke Power supreme court ban on IQ testing employees.

You're being tested on your general intelligence, not because anybody cares about binary trees or reversing linked lists or whatever.

I'm in my forties and have been doing ironic retro window managers since I was a teen rocking olvwm on my slackware 486 box in the mid-nineties.

Months fade into years, which have faded into decades. My hair is graying and thinning, and the light at the end of the tunnel draws nearer. Yet not one single human soul has ever noticed or cared about my really impressive desktop setup.

Gonna stick with my gummies, thanks.

Try to avoid the bespoke features of psql in favor of generic SQL unless cornered by circumstances into doing so, methinks.

If there's one complaint I have about pg, it's that it has too many features that encourage finding cute, non standard, non obvious ways of going about things.

Yup. With nothing but love for sqlite.

Garbage data analysis, reporting the statistical rebound from a statistically anomalous period (covid) as if it's some kind of trend. To the article's credit, they make no effort to hide their political motives behind misinforming their audience.

I'm big on digital minimalism and have relied on Chromebooks for everything for well over a decade now. I have Gimp, Inkscape, and the other flagship Linux apps I need. I have ssh and my tmux/shell/vim development environment I prefer.

It would be nice if there were an open source alternative, but all that the open source community wants to deliver is rip-offs of the Windows XP experience. Chromebook is what desktop Linux was supposed to be, but nobody understood that the browser was the Linux desktop the whole time.
