cema··on LLMs should not replace therapists
Yeah, that's good too.
cema··on LLMs should not replace therapists
More like cooperation than rivalry. But you are right that the "talk therapists" typically are educated as (practicing) psychologists. Unless they are also MDs they cannot write prescriptions, and work together with those who can (when needed). Sort of like surgeons and anesthesiologists, although the analogy is weak, of course.
cema··on LLMs should not replace therapists
Many professional therapists are working online now. There are advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Sometimes it is better for a patient to be at home in a comfortable situation during a session. Sometimes visiting the therapist in an office provides a welcome change of scenery.

In some cases, such as certain addiction clinics, the patients are required (by law, if I remember correctly) to visit the clinic, at least for some sessions.

...and a standard joke.
cema··on Joke written by an AI: “A basic program walked into a bar ”
Ouch. Have you passed the Turing test?
cema··on The Kobayashi Maru of comparing dates with times
"It depends"

First, are we talking about what _is_ or what _should be_?

Second, what is the business logic behind the choice of Date versus Time to represent data (a data point or a segment) in the timeline? And is that logic consistent with the original design, and therefore with how the data have been collected?

There is more, of course. Lots more, some touched upon in the article and comments.

Well if that's the case then the interview process was not well put together.
cema··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Yes it is subjective, that's the point.
cema··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
What a horrible advice. People absolutely do not have to share your attitudes and priorities. And you are saying it to a person just starting a career! I am glad to see the majority of the comments have been supportive and constructive, like HN usually is.

cema··on Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure
Not _except_ but _because_.
cema··on The Invisible JavaScript Backdoor
This argument seems to assume that people who do not know English cannot figure out how to use ASCII character set for identifiers. If so, it is rather incorrect. Is there something else here, maybe?

One of the "goals" not business but ok.
cema··on Elite Underproduction
Looks like you are talking about https://podcastnotes.org/portal-with-eric-weinstein/thiel/ from 2019, correct? Sounds interesting, thanks!
cema··on Don’t do interviews, do discussions
"Some people are ... inferior to others." Don't you want to qualify your statement a little?
cema··on Don’t do interviews, do discussions
One of the business for interviewers our company has is to leave a good impression even on a weak candidate. This makes for an overall better experience and, should the candidate become a better fit in the future, we do not want to lose them.
cema··on Don’t do interviews, do discussions
Accepting feedback, but also providing feedback, also asking for it. So being able to initiate a conversation when needed is an important skill.

cema··on Why SQLite does not use Git (2018)
With an effort, git becomes a familiar tool to use, but does it every become easy to use? There is a reason people have called it user-hostile.
cema··on YouTube deletes rapper's 'Let's Go Brandon' song claiming medical misinformation
It is not part of any government, but if it does work on its behest we need to ask questions.
cema··on Global Climate Report – September 2021
Strings are always attached. Government does not work without regulations.

Yes, and so can the UN. And it actually does, while AI still has to show its true colors.
