It's a motherfucker
don't you know
If they push that button
Your ass got to go
What you gonna do
Without your ass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsPrINajncU A given Chrome installation may be participating in a number
of different variations (for different features) at the
same time. These fall into two categories:
Low entropy variations, which are randomized based
on a number from 0 to 7999 (13 bits) that's randomly
generated by each Chrome installation on the first run.
High entropy variations, which are randomized using
the usage statistics token for Chrome installations
that have usage statistics reporting enabled.
How many users have 'usage statistics reporting' enabled, and are there for a "High entropy variation"? Is it enabled by default and thus will only be disabled by the minority of people that know how to opt-out? Paula: "...what's that?"
Blank Reg: "It's a book!"
Paula: "Well, what's that?"
Blank Reg: "It's a non-volatile storage medium.
It's very rare. You should have one."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIWR-b42lU0 In the beginning, there was a plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form,
And the plan without substance,
And the darkness was upon the face of the workers,
And they spoke among themselves saying,
"It is a crock of shit and it stinks."
And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said,
"It is a pile of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
Such that none may abide by it."
And the Managers went unto their Directors saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength."
And the Directors spoke among themselves saying to one another,
"It contains that which aids plants growth, and it is very strong."
And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor
Of the company With very powerful effects."
And the President looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good,
And the Plan became Policy.
And this, my friend, is how shit happens. local tmpFile="${TMPDIR:-/tmp/bash-web-server.$$}"
# ...
rm "$tmpFile"
To avoid collisions when the PID is reused, and to clean up0 the tempfile on errors, I recommend using mktemp and trap: local tmpfile="$(mktemp --tmpdir="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}" bash-web-server.XXXXXX)"
trap "rm -f \"${tmpfile}\"" RETURN EXIT
# ...
# Do nothing at the end of the function; trap will
# remove the file at RETURN automatically.
Otherwise, I like the implementation! It's nice to see good bash techniques like parsing with "IFS='&' read -ra data" and rewriting variables with %%/etc.
The tech startup that eventually creates that will call this "efficiency". This type of 'solution' is exactly what capitalism creates.

Not only would it be distracting, it could also bias you in unexpected ways.

I already don't trust a lot of the mental health industry because of the very bad experiences[1] I've had in the past. The easiest/fastest way to guarantee I never visit a psychiatrist again is to start using that kind of "AI" tech without first showing me the source code. "Magic" hidden algorithms are already a problem in other medical situations like pacemakers[2] and CPAP[3] devices.
> make up for the trade-off of not being in the room
Maybe what you need isn't some sort of "AI" or other tech buzzword. It sounds like you need better communication technology that doesn't lose as much information.

On the more general topic of "AI in psychiatry", I strongly encourage you to play the visual novel Eliza[4] by Zachtronics. It's about your fear of a cheap, high error rate system with an additional twist: the same system also optimizes your role into a "gig economy" job.
