Quick question, and this is really for everyone else out there and although directed at you, it isn’t really about you.

How do you KNOW that adhd is “overdiagnosed?” Are you a clinical psychiatrist? Or a clinical researcher?

Probably not. You just saw some article written by a person who doesn’t specialize in the area. Who doesn’t have access to the full data, nor have any exposure to what’s REALLY going on out there.

You don’t know. You just think you know because you saw some Netflix documentary about teenagers selling adderall pills.

Remember selection bias: the narrative comes first and then we filter data to fit our idea of how the world “is.”

Nominally what this means is people avoid getting treatment that could make a real difference to their life.
MicroG claims that it is disabled during normal usage and should pose no security risk.
Being poor isn’t a crime. Many homeless people never commit crimes.

Your tough-guy jingoism also just ignores all the evidence that shows that just punishing people at the lowest end of society simply doesn’t work. Send them to jail (which costs more than college) and they don’t get out and say “oh, now I have the skills to get my life back in order”.

Being homeless is terribly uncomfortable and punishing already. Nobody who operates on your simplistic sticks-and-no-carrots approach would ever be homeless in the first place.
Genuine question -- are there places where painkillers are advertised in hospital?
The article said "external security threat" that's getting more into economic threats. Although that could be factor as well.

Kotlin is pretty much a thing on Android, and only because Google doesn't bother to support anything beyond Java 8.

Outside Android we get to enjoy Java's improvements.
NOTE: You are describing the native-image feature of GraalVM. GraalVM is primarily a full featured JVM so you can run your normal backend and it will probably be a bit faster, and it does support everything in the dynamic class loading and reflection space.
I think there is no such thing as a conditional random variable. There are conditional probability distributions, but I've never heard of A|B itself being a random variable and I think it doesn't fit the definition. A random variable (I'm not a mathematician) is a function that takes an elementary event and returns the value of the variable.

You may say this is pedantry, but I think it's important to keep track of what is what, especially when being a beginner. You can afford to be sloppy once you're more advanced.

I wonder if it is possibly to access the local scope with similar trickery. It would be useful to get a reference to a local variable via a string:

import 'foo'
import 'bar'

(function (module) {
console.info(localThis[module]);
})('foo')
That's how most of the power plant waste in the US is "handled" right now, because it's so far been politically impossible to agree on long-term storage and transportation. It's an inferior solution, though. There are security issues, and many points of failure for environmental damage. It's particularly problematic when plants are decommissioned and the waste is still stuck there requiring indefinite security and storage facilities for an otherwise-defunct plant. We'd be better off with all of it in one secure and safe facility, pending a better solution in the future.

In case of open source, everyone wants someone to (beta) test their solutions in production. Only after few years of that such testing a tech product becomes usable for the rest of the industry and thats when it becomes profitable.

Im not surprised the leaders of IT, ppl who create those new technologies, push for a narrative to use those new shiny things.

Yeah, advertising is a field I also will no longer work in.

Manipulating people for money is ethically suspect. And the whole industry is an arms race: people spend money on advertising mainly because their competitors do.

If we banned all advertising tomorrow, consumers would still get about the same outcomes, especially now that the Internet makes it easy to find products and product information. Well, the same outcomes except they'd have circa an extra $1k/year in their pockets, and would spend a lot less time watching ads.

My parents followed the “ADHD is overdiagnosed these other kids just need discipline” script.

My brother as an adult was able to self diagnose and just try adderall(or was it ritalin) since even non-ADHD people get benefits concentrating with it, and yeah that worked out well for him, he doesnt continue using it and can approach professional work more holistically. I would attribute a lot of his academia challenges and underperformance to undiagnosed ADD/ADHD. Works great for the coked out party scene though. Got to swim in the right environment.

I dont have the above experience, but I did take an in person class at a college recently. Havent otherwise done formal education in almost a decade. The first couple of sessions I was fidgeting and couldnt stand sitting still, which was shocking to me but I got acclimated after that.

We are having a 20% time at my company (Medigo) since almost 5 years. Though the effects are hard to prove I see these:

- obviously great for hiring
- as we are not in a position to offer super advanced technical projects to tinker around with, it may have helped retention in a few cases, maybe general
- one side project made it into a successful in-house product
- it is sometimes a useful gap-filler if a project/backlog is not ready enough to start or too crowded on the dev side (a rare problem, ha!)

The biggest advantage though I feel is that it frees from hierarchy, planning and (most) coordination needs. Agile or not, the overheads are real.
Developers often "know" at the back of their head what is the right thing to do. Let them do it. 20% is great for learning responsible autonomy.

Slightly OT but I wonder what the readers of this thread have experienced with this model and how acceptance in the wider company was handled.
Edit: Apparently this has replaced Weste and Eshraghian:
"CMOS VLSI Design: A Circuits and Systems Perspective (4th Edition)" by Weste and Harris
https://www.amazon.com/CMOS-VLSI-Design-Circuits-Perspective...

Weste and Eshraghian was (and may still be) the Bible for a very long time:
https://www.amazon.com/Principles-CMOS-VLSI-Design-Perspecti...

It's a lot newer (and nicer) than most other references.

I would avoid Mead and Conway because it's really dated. It's not wrong, but a beginner won't know which parts to skip.

If you're looking for something about VLSI layout design, "The Art of Analog Layout (2nd Edition)" by Hastings would be the choice:

Disclaimer: I also don’t want to throw gasoline to the issue, but the above comment needs a response. This analysis is so wrong that where should I start. This is the exact same lazy thinking that is prevalent in conservative circles today that gave rise to trolls like Trump, Milo, and Alex Jones to conservative leadership.

1. Unemployment rate and generous welfare — Scandinavian countries have the most generous welfare state of any nation, but has among the lowest unemployment rates in Europe. How does that explain the correlation that you casually made ? Taking a step further, why is unemployment rate even a indicator of a true health of a society? I know the unemployment rate is artificially low in the US as a significant portion of the population is working in jobs that do not even provide basic living wage. And they have to work multiple jobs just to sustain. Aren’t a lot of Walmart employees on welfare?

2. Homelessness and liberal cities - this is a two pronged issue. Since red states see poor, homeless, mentally unstable and drug addicted people as essential criminals, a lot of them migrate from red states to liberal cities, who view them as human. Coupled with already dense cities where it is difficult to build housing in huge numbers it accentuates the problem. In European countries these decisions are made at a Federal level, hence a city like Amsterdam with even more liberal policies around drugs has zero homelessness issues. One option is to throw everyone is jail. But the American public has woken to be the fact that we are most incarcerated nation in the world and our prisons are >70% minorities. And clearly people have lost appetite in liberal states to put more people behind bars. But fear not my concerned red state friend. We will solve this problem too as we have solved a million other issues. As you forge ahead and sign heartbeat bills and take control of women’s vagina, and continue to build prisons, we will continue to take care of the most vulnerable Americans.

This is a good article, but the real major feature that Vim 8 introduced wasn't running a terminal inside Vim (which has been possible in various forms forever), but support for asynchronous processing. The terminal is just one use case for the new async functionality, which is powering all sorts of useful plugins or behavior which used to be blocking.
I am reading The Fifth Discipline by Peter M. Senge at the moment.

It is a fantastic book that came out in the 90s and was updated in the 00s. It describes the need and practical solutions to systemic thinking for a learning / adaptive organization. It covers a lot of different areas:

- introduction to systemic thinking (via a very good example and then a formalised introduction to three often occuring systems)

- personal mastery (life long learning with a reflective attitude) as foundation for a learning organization (i.e. how can personal self improvement be scaled up to a similar process with many people involved while keeping everything together)

- practical examples at the end (I have not read that part yet, I am just inferring from the chapter titles)

Even that I have not read the book completely, it is now one of the books I always recommend when friends with interest in founding a startup ask me for advice. It is one of the very few "management" (loose category) books I have read that I actually found useful and actionable. Only problem is that it is quite big so it takes dedication to read through it.

Edited for formatting, title..
Language in Thought and Action by S. I. Hayakawa is an introduction to General Semantics and deals with the limitations of language-oriented mental models, e.g. "the map is not the territory," a reminder that a model is just a model and not reality (or what Joel Spolsky would call "a leaky abstraction").

The World of Null-A by A. E. Van Vogt is a science-fiction novel with a world that has largely adopted General Semantics. [1]

Claiming that the only "safety-relevant" (much less "safety-critical"!) functions of an auto-steer system are "must be able to easily turn it off" and "must only steer/accelerate/brake slowly" is pretty sketchy in the first place.

Claiming that these functions are adequately implemented by some software running on a single microprocessor? Just nope. No hard-wired shutdown/disconnect system, no redundancy/failover/self-checking, no visible attempts to follow any kind of coding standard... the whole thing's a science project, not a well engineered high-reliability system.

Edit: The reason I'm so adamant about this is that, while I don't consider myself a 'safety expert' or anything of the sort, I'm currently being forced to deal with this stuff (machine safety, not self driving cars) in my day job and it is WAY more indepth, rigorous and tightly regulated than any of the hand-wavey stuff that's being discussed here.

Yes, I agree logical concepts can be abstracted into generic core concepts. Like how the concept of "picking up a coffee cup" can be abstracted into the more generic core concept of "picking up an object" which can be applied more broadly.

But that's more about logical reasoning than it is about mental models. A mental model is how the brain understands a logical concept.

There's also a danger with it becoming counter-productive. For example you might want to learn how to ride a bike. You educate yourself about the technical workings of the bike. How your body will balance itself. When you need to apply force on the paddles. Which muscles you will use to apply that force. You gain full understanding of the concept of "riding bike". This doesn't mean, however, you now have a proper functioning mental model of it. The other kid didn't do all the research you did. He just got on his bike and started trying. After some trial and error he's already making some distance. His mental model of "riding bike" might already exceed yours even though you have a better understanding of how it works. You might even be learning more slowly since you're constantly distracted by how the development of your mental model matches up with your understanding of it.

I believe this is also why some people stutter. They're constantly thinking about their speech. Their mental model of "speaking" gets interrupted by them thinking about it.

So I agree it's valuable to understand core concepts. It's valuable to think about how the brain works. It's valuable to be able to use your feelings (caused by your mental model) as tools to effectively make use of your brain. But I'm not sure it's wise to mess with the mental model that the brain creates about concepts. Or to define a logical concept as a mental model.

My personal belief is that humans are bad at seeing into the future, but are great at mobilising around here-and-now problems. And I believe the next generation will be the ones to start tackling it while seeing the effects.

I think 100% irreversible processes like microplastics in oceans is something that much more urgently needs dealing with. Repairing the climate is easy compared to filtering trillions of molecules back out the ocean.

Yeah, that's how we used it. You were a l337 h4x0r if you could actually code a buffer overflow or whatever. If you just knew how to floodping someone off the internet, or how to break into a computer using a script you got from someone who was actually smart, then you were a script kiddie.

I wouldn't dream of speaking for every vim user, but from casual observation it seems to me that `vim`ers tend to shed plugins as they get more experienced, instead of using more and more of them. So I believe your experience is quite typical.
An alternative way of looking at things: the dynamic nature of JavaScript and ability to monkey-patch things like this has let the language move forward.

> If people are trying to make use of NoSQL because they want to avoid the SQL language (not the relational model), they’ve made a grave mistake in understanding their technologies; I don’t think such a naive opinion should be considered relevant to the equation.

Yes, they are trying to avoid the relational model by avoiding SQL because SQL has basically been the face of the relational model for 40 years. if there was something better, they'd use that. Nothing better has come up, and i don't know why either.

Wow, wait til they find out how many of the things on Mr. Robot are already things in general. That's kind of what made the show good in the first place - that it had relatively realistic descriptions (amongst the theatre, of course) of how to break into computers.
Soo... You worked at CA? Might be informative to note that in your comments....
Additionally, a lazy person will take any chance at delegating even important tasks to subordinates. This is a good thing, because without delegation, the leader is the bottleneck. If someone else can do it, delegate. "Clever and diligent" people will try to complete the most important tasks themselves to ensure they get done right, thus creating a bottleneck.
Leaving it at one line, but just naming it something more explanatory than `__magic__` would also improve it slightly (without needing an extra var declaration).

`__getValueOfThis__` is good. Something like `__globalThisGetter__` or `__globalThisPolyfillGetter__` might be even clearer given the deletion line. e.g.:

__globalThisPolyfillGetter__.globalThis = __globalThisPolyfillGetter__;
delete Object.prototype.__globalThisPolyfillGetter__;
In my very ignorant world view Kalman filters make some prediction from some input. As do various ML techniques. As do various statistical models and techniques.
What are some good sources that show the connection between all these techniques and help me pick the right one for specific use cases?

For example, I want to predict a time series let's say the number of visitors of a site. I know some characteristics of the series (periodic, seasonal), but how should I go about it?
On my case I use https://polyfill.io which is a great service returning only what the browser needs by user agent. Some example url I used: https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.js?features=Element,requ....

> Its clear that its not at an acceptable level of safety.

I am no nuclear safety inspector, but I would argue that there's large variance in terms of safety in different nuclear installations. Not putting a nuclear plant next to a Tsunami-coast would be a major factor here.

> Large scale disasters like Fukushima can't be hand waived away.

Neither can the Bhopal disaster, yet we continue to engage in large-scale chemical production. It needs to be put into perspective.

> What am I supposed to see from Germany? They're the largest electricity exporter in Europe.

In terms of kilowatts, perhaps, but not economically. Energy prices in Germany are almost double those in France. Germany exports a lot of surplus wind energy, sometimes for negative prices just to keep the powerlines from overloading. Lack of wind needs to be compensated by dirty coal (50% of their energy mix) or import of (likely nuclear) energy from neighboring countries.

Without coal (or nuclear from the neighbors) the system would collapse. There are no means of storing the wind energy in a remotely economical fashion on the horizon and there are no obvious alternatives to wind (at least for Germany).

> Is this not true of nuclear power?

Yes, but nuclear power isn't considered "clean".
