Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown?

Been there, done that! I have about 10 "core" mechanism that have stuck, but some stop being effective because I needed to change them up to make it more suitable to address my suffering.

The psychwards I went to before my Dx/meds taught (DBT) (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) it's more about coping and life skills to execute on. You can also find therapists that practice with this modality. In a nutshell, DBT is all about "mindfulness" and "skills" (basically more involved coping mechanisms). It's more "actionable" than regular CBT in my opinion - but I'm biased.

You can skip the DBT therapy and look up all of the skills and practices on your own too. It's good to have a professional as a therapeutic guide and hold you accountable, however. I won't go too far into that, but you have to track "bad habits" (PG-13) and if you followed through with what you set out to accomplish for you illness.

Also, if you're in the US, you can freely/anonymously join the local DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support) meeting. The name is misleading though - it's basically for any mental or "advanced" mental illness. My sample size is 1, but their were folks in the meetings that had debilitating anxiety / anxiety disorders soo..

I still have that ugly spice rack. Sometimes the best way to learn is to just do.

Many years later I got the bug again and that time I started spending more time on YouTube. I find videos to be an incredible resources, whether I'm browsing for something specific or just watching good content and learning secondarily. Matthias Wandel has a channel with a variety of content that's worth watching just on its own, but you'll learn endless amounts of woodworking skills as well. Steve Ramsey's channel is great, though his videos can definitely be a bit annoying to watch. Really there are too many great channels to name. Best bet is to figure out what kind of thing you _want_ to build and then search for videos on how to build that. I guarantee there will be hundreds of great, simple tutorials.

If you've got a woodworking store nearby (e.g. Rockler) they often have free or cheap classes that can be great even for newcomers. Those are great because you don't need any tools; they provide everything. And they cover a wide range of stuff so you can figure out what kind of woodworking you like. Maybe you like turning wood, or working with a scroll saw to build small decorative pieces. I attend a Father's Day class where we made a wooden bow tie. It was free and introduced me to scroll saws, inlays, and spray varnish. Best of all, I got a great gift to give my father at the end of it.

The tool connects to the target email's SMTP server, and parses the response of the "RCPT TO" command. To avoid IP blacklisting, I use Tor.

The code is in Rust, 100% open-source. The core library is here: [link redacted]

How do you calculate overfitting for something like this? I know how you would do so with a more traditional supervised learning model with numerical inputs/outputs but NLP still seems a little like black magic to me since I haven't dived into a project using it myself. Is it just a comparison of similarity between generated posts and all posts in the training set? How do you calculate how "close" an output is to an input?
