Mental health declined? As in, worsened? This sounds wrong.


https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gqtOfZG2sSanWgUdzn-lx-pwSXZ... has the source report.

> Participants were asked to rate their mental health on a scale of 0 to 10... average the full sample of participants reported a mental health score of 6.12. [...] In addition, participants took the 10-Question Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (Kessler et al., 2002). Participants were asked ten questions rating how often they experience specific feelings related to distress on a scale from 1 to 5.

> Table 16 describes paired sample t-tests of the participants who completed the enrollment survey and six-month follow-up survey. While participants from none of the groups showed statistically significant changes,

This should probably have been a period and end of paragraph instead of a comma.


But does it decline relative to a control? I would expect the mental health of the homeless who don't receive the cash to decline, so perhaps the cash lessens or doesn't affect the decline.


Mental health declining over time for people experiencing extreme economic hardship sounds morally wrong to me, but unfortunately, it also sounds very plausible.


> However, researchers did report that all participants showed declines in overall mental health.

Sounds like it's accurate.

Living in a capitalist hellscape will do that to you.


And yet somehow still better than a communist utopia


Is it, though?


It is


What a well thought out and convincing argument! Thanks for engaging in good faith. /s


It would be nice if it could estimate GPT usage costs with a dry-run.


Do we want to train the model during inference? I would think we want to be very particular about the data used to train - notably after OpenAI's notes on the subject.


What happens when you hit a guardrail because there was a politically-charged or socially-condoned phrase? What if the documents are potentially sensationalist news articles or Wikipedia articles with potentially-questionable topics?


When I press the cmd key on my mac on Chrome, all the text disappears.


the initial text on the site is the instructions. I can agree it's somewhat a questionable design, but I wanted to make sure that the instructions are there for newcomers and easy to clear for the regular users. So any action on the editor will clear the instructions, but the text you type is safe.


It’s very surprising, the instructions disappear and there’s no obvious way to get them back. Undo doesn’t work, for example.

Maybe consider selecting all the text on the first click/focus in the textarea. That way it’s still there but a regular user can just paste, type, or hit backspace to get rid of the instruction. Undo would let you get it back.

Nice to see Svelte in the wild here, by the way.


Good ideas on the instructions, will work on it!

Yeah, coming from React I really liked coding in Svelte, hope to see it grow more!


I'm on the 2nd hoop, which is submitting personal information and documents on their website.


I guess no one got that I'm talking about the directions for not doing something, are to do the same thing, having to supply personal info to opt out of supplying personal info.


A deaf couple devised a scheme for communicating amorous intentions when the lights are out at night.

The wife said, "How about, if you want to have sex, just give a little tug on my breast once, and if you don't want to then tug on it two times?"

The husband said "That's a great idea. And if you want to have sex, just tug on my penis once, and if you don't want to, just tug on it two hundred and seventy seven times!"


[flagged]


Believe it or not, people in the Deaf community have senses of humor, and like sex. I'm sure those two things can go together at times.

See joke 7, page 22, for an example similar to gp's: https://works.swarthmore.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=109...


Why is this true?


You record a event today and use the hash from last week.


Exactly. Swimming is not so hard and working this profession is not the same as operating at a competitive level.


Julia is a competitor of R, hence the comparison.


Why does nobody discuss Apache Pulsar as a viable alternative?


Apache Pulsar is a streaming platform more comparable to Kafka. It doesn’t have built in parallel computation APIs like spark. You can hook spark streaming up with pulsar as a data source though.
