This is sadly all too common in the disabled community in general.

I am not ignorant. I understand that many, perhaps the majority, of disabilities that exist in the United States are of the “invisible“ kind.

However, the number of individuals who want to elevate their very common, and human, difficulties in life, to a “disability“ is ridiculous. If I had to diagnose most of these people, I would call them narcissists.
> You don’t need one of those as the maintainer. They can also just hire somebody to do it for them.

And who are they going to hire? Someone with people skills and accounting skills. That doesn’t need to be a tech person.
> The project teams will receive up to €47,500 over six months

What a nice round number.
Well, in 1990 I created a first FIDOnet node in USSR and became first regional coordinator of FIDOnet there. Next I graduated from Novosibirsk State University and opened my first business (ISP in Novosibirsk). Then in 1995 I moved to Moscow and became a first CTO of a first Russian stock exchange. Since that time I launched several startups and changed multiple CIO/CTO jobs at different Russian and international companies. In 2018 I understood that I fed up with Putin’s cleptocracy and moved from Moscow to Switzerland, now working as an enterprise architect for a large insurance business.
> I'm very much for radically open borders — in economic terms, it's one of those twenty-trillion dollar bills lying around on the sidewalk that no one has picked up yet.

This will probably happen, maybe in our lifetimes but it’ll be at the expense of the nation state and blocs like the EU. Probably a good thing such that people can choose where they want to live but it’ll eventually revert back to borders again very quickly as the wealthy shore up resources in the best places and then leave everyone else to fend for themselves. We already saw this “wealth flight” during the pandemic when remote tech workers and executives fled cities and high taxes to create their own little versions of Galt’s Gulch all over the mountain west and no income tax states. When we get to open border policies under the auspices of fueling economic growth you’ll see this occur again. And when this occurs the shells of former nation states will no longer provide services like healthcare because there won’t be anybody to pay for it. The wealthy certainly won’t.
Not perusing available evidence when making policy decisions like this is simply bad decisionmaking. “Doing things our way” just out of principle is just as silly as blindly aping others. It’s possible to (fallaciously) argue against anything by saying “but we’re special so doesn’t apply to us” and I’ve seen too many bad decisions made due to what is essentially a case of the NIH syndrome.
That "issue" is unrelated. You've just hijacked the thread to talk about it.

Also the point you're making is controversial, and definitely isn't widely agreed on. As a human, I can read public code on Github, and use my internal neural network (brain) to regurgitate sections of code, and don't need to attribute anyone (who can say which codebase I'm recalling code from? I certainly can't). So a neural network doing the same thing, but external to a human, is certainly questionanble, but it isn't a cut-and-dry case of copying without attribution.

How is that supposed to make sense?
Your quote is more literal than you think. It's not "finds it hard to focus on", it's "can't focus on". With ADHD, in many cases, part of your brain will decide without you whether or not you can concentrate on a thing, and you cannot push past it.
I think we are seeing that effect with regards to mental health and autism. It seems to me that there is at least a greater understanding. Growing up, I was likely right on the bubble of being diagnosed. Unfortunately, instead I was just labeled a bad kid.

Now I have a child with an official diagnosis, and I see a lot of the traits from my childhood, and things that I struggled with and her, just magnified.

I think if I were to go through the school system now, someone probably would have at least suggested that I get tested. Rather than berating me day after day and labeling me a bad kid
Banning Chinese companies is actually a ban on Americans using Chinese companies. As tempting as it is to retaliate or perhaps extract national economic gain, It must be done sparingly, if at all, as it as a reductions in freedom for American citizens.
This is a feature in fossil since the beginning. And fossil is good enough to be used by sqlite, it could be used by other projects.
And the North would never had existed without USSR and China’s backing. I’m not sure what your point is?

And your comment about “free will” is telling. How much “free will” do the Vietnamese have today?

The only difference is it’s Vietnamese elite that control the masses, not some foreign power.
> It is also worth stating this is from 2020. I am not sure why this is submitted now.

I came across it a day or two ago in a reply to @Suhail's thread of donating to OSS projects[0]. I suspect that's where the submitter saw it as well.

Given that this change was committed to the main branch, if I download the code right now, haven't Microsoft redistributed it?
I like your last question. Can you give an example of a "non-attribution license"?
“Easy to read” is not part of the criteria. The definition is explicit.

> "Conspicuous", with reference to a term, means so written, displayed, or presented that a reasonable person against which it is to operate ought to have noticed it. Whether a term is "conspicuous" or not is a decision for the court. Conspicuous terms include the following: (A) a heading in capitals equal to or greater in size than the surrounding text, or in contrasting type, font, or color to the surrounding text of the same or lesser size; and (B) language in the body of a record or display in larger type than the surrounding text, or in contrasting type, font, or color to the surrounding text of the same size, or set off from surrounding text of the same size by symbols or other marks that call attention to the language.
Seems like a mistake to me. Microsoft recently adopted one of my Open Source projects and part of the agreement was they would keep the original license. This was a request on their part, I had no choice in the matter. They know what they're doing, I don't think they would do this deliberately.

You can usually at least try to see any wiki information and about us info for a site or resource. Those are both available for Defector which show it is credible, former employees of Deadspin:

https://defector.com/about-us/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defector_Media

You could say it might be even more credible than other places since it is employee owned. A small trend of modern media sites like https://Clickhole.com which was bought from being The Onion subsidiary, both owned by the same new bad parent company as Deadspin. Except for Clickhole I believe Cards Against Humanity bought the site and then let it be employee owned. Even cooler!
Google search results have become trash. They have no connection to reality any more - they're connected to money, and that's all.

The quality has dropped consistently over the last several years, and now most search results are ads or manipulated results. Have you tried searching for a specific PDF lately? Or a manual for a common device? The original site or the vendor will definitely not come up before ads and bullshit sites.
It's the government's fault for refusing to expand licensing enough that there's a reasonable supply of doctors for even intake apointments.
To get into a password manager account, you require a secret and your master password. It is a potential point of failure, but less of one than what I tended to do without a password manager: reuse the same passwords across different sites. It would be impossible for me to remember a unique password for every site I'm registered on, so 1Password is just my place to record it.

Having said that as someone else mentioned in this post, your email password reset flows become a point of failure: if someone can get into your email address, they can essentially reset your password to whatever they want. This is why I also enable 2FA on every site I can, and have recently started using unique email aliases per website.

I'm considering getting a couple of YubiKeys instead of using something like Google Authenticator, but not really sure if that would result in a more secure setup overall yet.
I’m much more concerned about what will happen once the telescope is in operation. We can’t send astronauts to L2 to fix it like we could send them to Hubble on STS.
> Here is an example. This Go program (a compiler) generates and serves its own website: https://NN-512.com

Not a very good one - clicking the link produces a download dialog on Firefox (I'm guessing because the website neglects to indicate a Content-Type).

Ironically this is an argument against trying to do everything yourself - you might waste time chasing the long tail of thousands of little details that had been solved many times over elsewhere.
I avoided using TikTok until the company I work for announced a couple of months ago that they were investing in TikTok content. I went on the app to see our content and was also surprised how addictive it was. After I checked out our content I deleted the app. Since then I have twice reinstalled the app and used it for a week and then deleted it again.

For most web content I use https://freedom.to to allocate narrow time bands during the day when I have access to HN, Twitter, Reddit, etc. I look at this as enforced mindfulness of how much non-productive (or marginally productive) time I spend. I think that I may reinstall TikTok and control access with freedom.to.

There is a lot of fun stuff on the web and for myself, I just need a Buddhist middle path of enjoying this content, but not too much.

Anyway, I respect TikTok’s success and I like seeing competitors to FB, Twitter, Google, etc.
Name one major feature that IntelliJ has that VSCode doesn’t.
OP is here. I was a son of very ordinary parents, they both were doctors, second most underpaid profession after teachers in the USSR. In my post I just wanted to make a point that even in USSR if you wanted something and worked really hard to achieve it, you can get it. Without any help from your parents.
In almost all such circumstances, the control group is still given a "real" cancer drug that has already been proven, and the study looks for the new drug to demonstrate an improvement versus the current state-of-the-art.
Pretty sure James May Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond solved this a few years ago. It was part of a BBC documentary if I recall correctly.

Huh? Sigh... I suppose you misunderstood it.
Personally, I like the idea of reclassifying things based on biochemical mechanism. Not that this is any small undertaking, as we need to understand the mechanism that leads to the symptom(s) and develop some sort of reliable test for them. This goes for all psychological issues though, beyond just ASD
The principle reason I'd like to see sites ranked lower for specific usage patterns is because those patterns severely degrade the Web experience for me. And I feel I'm not alone.

So: make it hurt a bit to do stupid stuff.

Fighting spam through standards compliance and elegant site design is not the principle account. There should be other indicia of spam which are readily apparent, and used.

But any site, spammy or otherwise, which flagrantly abuses dark patterns, should pay a penalty for doing so.
NASA, like most US companies, outsourced flying things to space to other entities, since flying things to space it's not it's core competency anymore.
I wonder if craving attention is like being lazy.

I won't say I have ADHD, but I am very lazy. For my entire life, I've found myself unable to just snap out of laziness and choose to stop being lazy. I don't believe that I'm selfishly lazy, because my laziness often causes obvious, preventable problems for me, and I still can't find the switch inside myself to turn it off.

I wish we could set aside the labels and say "I'm lazy and I want to buy therapy to help me deal with being lazy." Maybe there is also a reason people are not getting their need for attention satisfied in whatever way they're supposed to.

I satisfy my need for attention by being good at programming, and then talking to other programmers about programming. I notice most people (general population) don't have any particular skill worth showing off like I do. I don't know what the actionable to fix that is, though.
>> but the actual data has yet to be encrypted.

You probably don't want to look too closely at how medical records are being kept in the private sector. Encryption is supposed to be a rule but the exceptions and loopholes mean very little is properly encrypted.

Most medical privacy rules can be met by implementing drive-level encryption, transparent encryption that protects only against hard drives being stolen but does nothing to prevent data extraction from a live drive. A small medical office can probably get away with simply turning on bitlocker.

> The notion that a neurotypical person exists is kinda silly.

It's not at all silly. Not more than what's a good car. For some, a Toyota model is a good car. For some, a Mercedes model is a good car. A Dodge is a good car too perhaps. But a boat is not a good car. A Formula 1 engine is also not a good car.

This seems rather noticeable to me, gets to the point, and is considerably more readable.

By using the all-caps sparingly, we've made way to draw attention to the heading, then offset the passage with large amounts of whitespace to draw attention to the passage itself. At the same time, this keeps readability of the actual text that you want people to read.
IMHO Intel was just dumb for annoncing to blanket ban anything from Xinjiang. They can still audit their suppliers and discontinue collaboration with those that look suspicions.
A.I is misreading human emotion
> how a good lead or manager should go about identifying these problems.

Notice when things aren't getting done by the time they were estimated to be done, and notice if the person seems to be continually pushing back completion dates. After a day or two of "thought I could get it cone but couldn't", it's negligent to _not_ dig in to _why_ the person is struggling. Really not meaning to be snarky, but if a manager isn't doing this, I'm not sure what exactly they are doing.

IME most solid engineers prefer autonomy and trust over schedule and process, and would strongly resent having to spend their time in a meeting because their manager was unable to do people management.
‘Festival of shame’: Why China has cracked down on Christmas
> actually autistic people such as my wife and I cannot get the official diagnoses

If you don't have an official diagnosis, on what basis do you claim to be any more “actually autistic” than the other undiagnosed people that see themselves that way and are seeking an official diagnosis?
Maybe they don't want a dull population sitting many hours playing games and eat junk food.

Or they want the population to use some domestic platform, I am not sure, but even the Google ban has some legitimacy perhaps, when considering the amount of misleading news articles.

China does propaganda, the US outlets lie selectively according to their bias.

And such things can and will lead to having Trump elected with his maga disciples.

I think both are equally bad, just different.
It is generally foolish to trust claims of data anonymization from a megacorp. So with the government, your ability to believe them will be based on your existing faith in your government's intent and technical prowess. I think Canadians are generally split on the former and quite pessimistic about the latter.
They’ll be in hot water on social media because of a the automation mishap. Then it’ll be corrected. There will be no legal hot water.

Microsoft is not a person. And, by its size, is not a single entity with homogeneous values and procedures.

You interacted with one part of Microsoft, maybe we are seeing the works of another part.
I'd like to see a modern web directory, that is built automatically, but can be corrected collaboratively.

It should still feature search that finds websites or categories in the directory, but also allows to explore from these points and discover related content.

Does their ToS give them additional rights to the code uploaded to GitHub? There are several unofficial copies of projects like glibc [1] uploaded by people who definitely do not have the authority to grant any additional rights to the code.

it's quite interesting how at least in ML, the transformer architecture has 'won out', at least for the time being, it appears to be everywhere these days: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1468370605229547522.html

the advantage of transformers (computationally) seems to be how little sophistication the attention mechanism needs from AD systems (and how well it appears to scale with data). it's also a very static architecture in terms of a data flow/control flow perspective.

as far as I understand, this is far different from systems needing to be modeled in continuous time, especially things like SDEs. I am curious if things like delay embeddings will ever be modeled in terms of mechanisms similar to attention however.
It’s really hard to find a USB C charger from a reputable brand right now. I ordered an Apple 100w and it’s delayed til March.

I did 2g of dried shrooms about a week ago, having almost no prior experience.

It was fun - I was seeing funny things, my friends looked funny, I laughed a lot, was a lot more talkative and social.

My only issue was a tension headache which started about when the first effects came on and was even worse the day after, lashing until about 24 hours after the mushrooms were taken. My friends did not get the headache.

Otherwise, while I found the experience fun, and I'd do it again if it wasn't for the headache, I really can't fathom how people describe it as one of the most profound experiences of their lives.

Aren't the mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope too unprotected? (2014)
I think what's interesting is that a spectrum can be generated from the combination of a series of gradients.

Consider different regulation in specific biochemical pathways to be individual gradients. These parameters, when combined, can represent many different unique states that exist on a spectrum.
This etiological approach is captured, for example, in the book "Inventing Temperature" by philosopher of science Hasok Chang. It chronicles the meandering, dialectical and controversial journey scientists pursue in order to discover what exactly temperature is - now elegantly captured in concise but sterile formulas. It demonstrates the process of science, as opposed to merely its output.
The Isaac Asimov short story "A Perfect Fit" from 1981 is about that, except the person does not die if they use a computer. It is just that using one or even thinking of using one causes the great pain and nausea.

Here's a copy at EDN [1], which is where it was first published I believe. In the '70s and '80s professional science and technology publications would occasionally commission will known science fiction writers to write a short story somehow related to the subject of the publication.

Since it is short and freely available I won't bother summarizing.

There's also another Asimov story, "Saving Humanity", about a person who could not use computers. In that one there was no pain or anything like that. It was just that computers would crash if he tried to use them, or was even near on being used. This was quite an inconvenience, because it meant that even if he went into a bank to use a teller to withdraw cash the teller's computer would crash.

It is part of a series of short stories [2] written in first person from the point of view of a writer recalling conversations with his friend George, who claims to have summoned a small demon to grant him favors, but due to the rules the demon cannot do anything that directly benefits George. George instead asks the demon to do things for his friends (usually without the friend's permission), which invariably turn out to go wrong in some terrible way.

In the particular story I'm thinking of, George had a friend who was disappointed he had never done anything great and probably never would. He wanted to do something major, like save the world from a disaster. George mentioned that to the demon, and the demon used his powers to give the friend the computer crashing power.

How the heck is that supposed to save humanity? Apparently sometime within the friend's future lifetime we are going to have a Skynet or Colossus [3] situation and what will save us is George's computer crashing friend managing to get near the ruling computer.
