That you think this way (and if like me, it makes you excited!) I think it's because it has clicked for you.

For many that light bulb above their head doesn't flash on, hence they get to dislike the subject or forget it after they are done with their studies. I was lucky enough to appreciate math that much to redo it in my free time after high-school and make it click for me.

But what if we find the exact same face in different rocks or pixels? I also think the researchers were aware of this issue as the article mentions they were careful not bias their model.

Very interesting point though!

I have a curious question. My local setup has worked for me for ages ever since arch decided to switch to systemd. Same on the servers I deal with, after Debian's switch. At the same time, I can say I'm not involved with inner workings of a Linux system enough, to be affected by init system change and the pain it might bring.

In other means consider me an average Joe of the Linux world.

Hence this question: If it sucks so much, why did it become so widespread?

I asked them: twice a day, 10 minutes each. No need to put too much pressure, that is, no need to make yourself uncomfortable during practice. Weight loss & less snoring should appear within a few months ;)

Sadly the (non-english) whatsapp group is no longer available. There wasn't really more to it; you had to practice circular breathing daily and post an update. But the teacher wanted to create membership schemes and make extra money, so people left.

Depression

Just learned from comments here it's called "circular breathing"!

A friend of mine started "blowing air into water with an straw" (making bubbles) very seriously. I was very skeptical to say the least; but after a couple of months the effects have been very eye opening. Not only it has helped sleep apnea and snoring but also helped with reducing their weight. They had an online group and most participants reported the same. The wight loss was reverted when they stopped for some personal reasons. I wonder if making bubbles in the water has the same effect.

I had an old projector; If the film roll stopped for any reason (operator error, getting stuck, etc...), the lamp was so bright that it'd catch fire.

I'll remove the comment then

Off topic, removed

Except when I wanted to get ChatGPT or Claude to criticize a religion or religious figure, namely Khamenei. It never backed down and if forced too much and I pointed out its contradiction, it would switch to 2~3-word sentences response mode (i.e. passive-aggressive).

It was a long time ago, Claude 3 or maybe ChatGPT's v3. It felt so dehumanizing that I never tried again.

It didn't seem like trained behavior though, it felt much like hardcoded behavior.

{Personal experience} many many years when beginning SWE, I used to think the same. I didn't want to admit but it meant I didn't have to learn DSA. There was plenty of evidence to back me up with the same thinking as this article. Life happened and I had to painfully spend time and slowly learn it. Comparing the person before & after, the difference in my software building skills were very tangible. Sadly I cannot point it out and say "I'm wiser and I know how not to make a mess in the codebase, because I learned such & such algorithm and data structures" yet I can fully imagine how the previous person would've been lost in the jungle.

{Less of personal experience but more of a anecdotal observation} I see the same pattern in hiring. Those who know DSA, build systems that cost less overal.

So maybe it's better not to throw DSA right out out the window, but also not stick to either ends of the spectrum?

Proton let's me bring my own subdomain for those random emails and does a pretty good job of tracking which email is given to whom, and also supports hiding your email even if you want to initiate the email contact, not just reply (plus scheme in mail address doesn't allow this). Otherwise you can also use their domain too, to stay fully anonymous.

So far I've been happy. I hope I'll stay happy.
