This feels really weird to me. My whole point in the piece was that non-Autistic people shouldn't be given unilateral leave to talk over and in place of Autistic people, but that's exactly what you're doing.

I had a whole section in the article that explains why the phrase "Severe Autism" is inappropriate, and does more harm than good to Autistic people.

I see you saying that you can't possibly advocate for your son's needs without using that phrase, and I don't understand why you're saying that. Surely "High Support Needs" conveys everything you mean to say without misrepresenting what Autism actually is?

Like, I hear that you are worried about and love your son. Of course you do, and you seem like a parent who is invested in their kid's future. Thank you.

But this comment was really disrespectful. I made a reasoned argument as to why that phrase was hurtful and you didn't address it at all except to say that you didn't respect it.

I want to stress that I absolutely understand that you are dealing with a lot. Raising Autistic kids is really hard, and scary, and often the only support you get is people who don't know what they're talking about. But some of them have doctorates, and so you listen to them, and that makes sense.

All I'm asking is that you take the time to listen to Autistic adults, as well.

Why wouldn't he just have done that before bailing out?

I mean standard tech posts, "I did Y by doing X" not tied to a particular product.

Medium seems to have lost its plot with all the paywall stuff, dev.to is blocked here, substack requires to already have a readership, same for a blog in my own domain. Any alternatives?

>"capable of making a decision between usually only two candidates"

This short sighted attitude is the peoblem.

Do you know your representative? Have you ever spoken to them? How do the two presidential candidates come about? Have you ever been in a political party? There is a lot more to democracy than choosing a front clown
I've known plenty of amazing creative artistic people who were definitely unhealthy in terms of how they pursued their art.

I'm also interested in the GP's question: what does healthy look like?
Why would anybody be surprised by this? Look around. People, by and large, are not very capable to begin with, poorly educated, and disinterested.

In an earlier age, it was common for newspapers to target a 7th grade reading level.
>I'm even more confused about what autism is than before.

There's a full list of diagnostic criteria you can look up, but in short Autistic people lack the "hardware acceleration" that neurotypicals have to assist them with social interaction (and, in the more extreme cases, language).

In childhood, this usually shows itself as a deficit in theory of mind (ie, the child will assume that the other people know what they know).

In adulthood, it usually means that people struggle to maintain the types of cognitive dissonance that smooths over interpersonal interactions (I suspect this is because neurotypicals run multiple systems to simultaneously process the concrete reality and socially agreed-upon "ostensible reality", whereas Autistics rely on a single system to process both).

Just like any other group, this does come with shared experiences. Just like any other group, though, just because there are some shared experiences it doesn't mean everybody is the same.
using a domain allows people to share information easier.

For example, if I wanted to tell a friend about the blockchain, I could share a link to a video I found helpful using email or Twitter.

By using the domain web3.net, we can create an wiki on everything about web3. We could all edit the wiki and learn from others.

I could build this site myself and slap some advertising on it, but I would rather follow the Wikipedia model. I want to work with lots of people that want to learn about Web 3

But we can do so much more than just a wiki.
You shouldn't trust that uninstalling the AV reliably gets rid of whatever kernel drivers and other detritus it came with. I don't know of any AV examples but plenty of video game anti-cheat software has that problem.

Just wipe and reinstall Windows.
They're referring to dynamically-sized arrays that do not store their own length. In C, this would be a pointer to the first element of an array; the length of the array must be passed around independently to use it safely. Instead, they're advocating collections which store their own length, such as vectors in C++ or arrays in C# or Java. Personally, I believe there is a need for three different kinds of array types:

1. Array types of fixed length, ensured by the type system. This corresponds to arrays in C, C++, and Rust, and fixed-size buffers in C#.

2. Array types of dynamic length, in which the length is immutable after creation. This corresponds to arrays in C# and Java, and boxed slices in Rust.

3. Array types of dynamic length which can be resized at runtime. This corresponds to vectors in C++ and Rust, and lists in C#, Java, and just about every interpreted language.

Of course, for FFI purposes, it is often acceptable to pass arrays as a simple pointer + length pair, this being the common denominator of sequential arrays across low-level languages.
you can see that this is a 'joke' article, used to show how 'facts' can lead to bad conclusions..

1. I'm not an Aspie. I'm Autistic. The language choice matters.

2. I'm not talking on anyone's behalf and spend half the words in the text validating people who disagree with any of my claims.

3. Oh, I see, Autistic people are like Trans people in that we aren't worth listening to. I wish I'd seen that line before I started responding, but here you go!
Gosh I've had this conversations more times than years I've lived I'd expect. I suspect I understand your position, never the less.. last I'd checked, we'd pretty fully embraced socialism for quite some time now. I'm fine with whatever the majority want if the direction was to change, however... Maxime Bernier didn't exactly do well.

My only nit pick on the CBC is that I believe the very REASON Canada has so much fantastic media is because the government funds independent artists, could someone like Matt Dusk have had a career in any other country? He certainly doesn't say so. Leonard Cohen, Drake, Shania Twain, all funded by the government, because of the Canadian Content mandate, the mandate dutifully fulfilled by our national broadcaster. Additionally, I very much enjoy shows like DNTO, Quirks & Quarks and especially: not having them chocked full of advertising.

Yeah, from the perspective of someone joining a project rather than creating it, why wouldn’t you use ones that explicitly prevent any kind of outsized return for the creators?
You sound like a person that wants to believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is/was American.
Thank you so much, I agree with you. That's why I started with disability as the first subject -- because "Nothing About Us Without Us" isn't just about Autism, it comes from the disabled community in general.

It's 100% true that a lot of what I've written generalizes to many other disabilities.
Modulo, in this context, is defined as the remainder when dividing two numbers, and mod is just short for modulo. Is your objection that the term modulo didn't originally have this meaning? That aside, perhaps the % operator should be pronounced "rem(ainder)" too avoid unnecessary jargon.
Raymond Chen makes fun of customers all the time. He just doesn't name them.

Also, in this particular case the case is old enough that it's not necessarily any AV that's still around anyway.
>But, though we have to do it all the time, no one has ever found a perfect way of assigning scalars to vectors and no one ever will.

Write the vector (x, y) in [0,1]^2 in its binary representation as (x0.x1x2..., y0.y1y2...), resolving any repeating sequences of 1s, and let f(x, y) = 0.x0y0x1y1x2y2...

Then f is injective and therefore bijective onto its image.

(I know this is incredibly pedantic and f isn't continuous/doesn't preserve whatever mathematical structure, but I think you're inviting this comparison when you write a blog post that is just saying "You can't represent everything 1 dimensionally" which everyone knows but unnecessarily couched in mathematical jargon)
I guess that it would encourage spam, and less-qualified leads. As an employee, I would know better how to screen for culture fit than a random person on the internet. I would also have a vested interest in finding good people since I would have to work with them.
> and the decades-long prevalence of "lol nerds suck" attitudes to those who even THINK of getting said education.

There was a HN post semi-recently comparing American mathematics textbooks to soviet mathematics textbooks. Basically the Russian school textbook was/is equivalent to the American university textbook.

There were other comments in the thread about education quality, school systems, etc, but the novel takeaway for me was that there are some countries where anti-intellectual stigma doesn't exist at all.

It was quite a moment to realise that a lot of your experiences growing up and going through the education system (as one kind of said nerd) are the result of a mass-cultural and quasi-political _choice_ of attitudes that aren't actually universal.
It has been 10 years since I looked - 10 years ago spam wasn't a problem and Americans usd their phone for voice about 5 times as much as anyone else.

Even today most people I know answer their phone when it rings. And most people call each other often (though video calls are becoming common) We complain about the spam problems, but most people still answer the phone.

Anecdotally I can say spam calls were never the majority of my calls - and I don't talk on the phone much compared to most people I know. And the amount of spam calls has been going down a lot.
I was thinking of France, which IIRC had such a mandate.
IANAL: Since the company offered to buy the software, they obviously don't think they have any claims on it. Of course, your legal position depends upon your local jurisdiction.

You don't say who is using your software. Is it your company's clients? Your company? Others?? How much are they saving, paying?

First step is to establish a discounted cash flow monetary value of the benefits of your software. About 20% to 30% of that might be an appropriate price for it. This estimate depends on numerous factors which are beyond the scope of a HN reply.

If the amount is much more than $10k, then you might have a viable business to establish a startup. In which case you should seek out competent legal advice and test the waters for potential investors.

Or, you could consider $10k as the starting point for negotiations. Based on the above estimate of its value you could counter with a far larger price. In any negotiation the first amount discussed is simply the starting point. As a basic principle you never accept the first offer, but counter with something far above what you think is reasonable. If you are uncomfortable with such heavy negotiations, then you could pay a suitably experienced lawyer to negotiate on your behalf for say 15% of the final amount.

And for anyone not up on the details at hand, the incident involved four white individuals. It had nothing to do with racism.
As an Autistic person who recognizes that many friends and interlocutors are also Autistic I can tell you that I have yet to discover a way to so much as suggest people look into it without terrifying and offending them.

A large part of the reason why I do what I do is to offset that reaction and let people recognize themselves in descriptions of the Autistic experience.
> Coal is up about 10x since the early 1970s [2]. Both of these are inflation-adjusted.

Sure. 1000% over 50 years. Now we’re talking in some cases 1000% within a couple of months.
in Australia, we have so much wind and solar that prices are going down. I looked up a off grid solar and for about $5000 AUD I could provide all my meager needs and pay it off in 5 years compared to grid power
Yes. The key realization is all forms of wealth preservation are the same. We value things because other people value them (once we have our basic needs met).
I also moved away from Facebook. Moved my photos to a Photoprism instance on a VPS synced between all my devices with Nextcloud. Couldn't be happier. And I'm not paying Flickr's crazy fee of $60/year just to host some photos.
Apparently it's working. Since the whole "dream cheated @ minecraft" drama - it's clear that there aren't really any consequences for lying to millions of people and in fact, you might even get your own little fanbase defending you.

The video is sponsored by the way.
Butterfield (one of the founders of Flickr, and later, Slack) is quite a character.

He and Caterina (Fake, the other co-founder of Flickr) were working on a game, a so-called "Game Never Ending" when they realized that they needed to come up with a way for people to store screenshots and share them. Thus, Flickr was born (this is why some URLs in Flickr had ".gne" extensions).

Yahoo acquired Flicker in 2005, and a few years later, both Butterfield and Fake left.

Butterfield then went back to his game. In the process of developing the game, he realized that he needed a good, reliable chat system: and hence Slack was born.

I wonder if he's back working on the game, which, really seems like a "game never ending" for him...
Go all in on the boringness. You can't fool your brain no matter how many Spoon-full-of-sugar songs you try to sing to make it go down easy.
You seem to be confusing your argument for my own. I'm the one claiming that the text is ambiguous and shouldn't be, you seem to be outright denying that it's ambiguous at all? You're the handless guy feeling smug about their innate knowledge that the author's intention was "Acceptable answers include statements such as:" rather than "Acceptable answers include a statement such as:", I'm the top-hat dude calling you out.
They were either not plugged in, or definitely not on their own vlan in any of the datacenters (dozens of them) I worked in from 2000-2007. Many admins have no clue they exist or what they do.
Longer lectures are common for inter-semester classes. It's not for everyone but I think it works better for some.
As a skydiver, I think I noticed some stuff from the video that looks pretty fishy. Why is he flying with a skydiving rig on? Normally pilots where emergency parachutes with only one parachute which are made to be worn comfortably while flying. He's wearing a skydiving rig in the video which would be very uncomfortable to wear while flying an aircraft. I could be wrong, but that sort of makes it look like he was planning to jump before he ever took off.
Thanks for this feedback, I'm hearing that that part of the essay was confusing. I'll try to revisit it and simplify it.

The TLDR is that there is an assumption dating back to the beginnings of Autism research that Autistic people have a "communication deficit".

The point of the Double Empathy Problem is that it shows that that's not true -- that when you have an Autistic Person and a Neurotypical Person interacting they each struggle to understand the other.

In other words, it's not a deficit on the part of the Autistic person -- it's a mismatch between communicators and should be recognized as a systemic failure mode not an error on the part of the Autistic. I hope that helps! :)
Of course there is the autism spectrum. But it is a spectrum, it is not something that goes from mild to severe or where people have every symptom on the list in a certain degree. The spectrum is diverse - so it is wrong to make any general assumption about it.

(Note: I am not talking about "autism spectrum disorder" diagnosis according to DSM V or ICD-11. These diagnoses have a defined set of required symptoms. But the spectrum is far bigger than that).
It seems exactly like you’re NOT letting them enjoy the story, just because you didn’t.

This seems like an easy way to rob their childhood of fun memories, interest (watch how much more they care about Christmas movies when they think it’s real),curb creativity, and produce a child who’s overly skeptical.

Kid will also probably ruin Christmas for other children/parents, garnering a reputation as a know-it-all and possibly alienating themselves socially.
Spending a few dollars on NFT "ownership" is worth it to me to have my name next to something, just like spending $10 on a League of Legends skin is worth it to some people to have their name next to a piece of artwork in a video game.

I am literally interested in looking at a hash for fun, since it shows up online in NFT viewers with a little picture of it in my account. $10 is such a small amount of money to me, if I didn't spend it on an NFT then I may have bought a CS:GO skin or hypothetically some Candy Crush lollipop hammers, spent it at the arcade or put it into a slot machine or something. The NFT sparks better conversation.

That's before getting into the fact that if I buy an independently drawn NFT, that $10 doubles as a donation to help support the artist's work, and the NFT becomes public proof that I helped financially support the artist.
"The problem of educating the educators is a problem which the democrat forgets in his enthusiasm for educating the pupils."

Except now we don't even have the latter. We've just accepted that the least qualified individuals in our society are charged with doing what is arguably the most important work outside of governing, and with a laughable wrong headed course of training.
I'll never forget the time a few years ago when I was on a support call with a client who happened to be a member of the administration staff at one of the largest school districts in the US. After about 20 minutes of frustration, I realized that the problem was that she couldn't read, and she was trying not to admit it. I got the hint and figured out a different way to solve the issue. I looked through her files and sure enough her signature was literally an illegible scribble with a smiley face.

And this was a member of the staff. In a school district! Blew my mind.
Seems that way, huh?
The original on YouTube credits Ridge wallets as a sponsor (complete with referral link spam), so that's one company I'm never patronizing.
The camera on the plane was there to film the crash, for his video, so it's pretty straightforward why he would not remove it before bailing out.

As far as the controls, it just depends on what was done. At some point he started filming, and he couldn't change any controls after that without giving it away for free.
Smart contracts on Bitcoin?
So the controls got a sham TMS, but not a control location?
They do but it’s all the same stuff at the undergrad level. I don’t even think Ivy League schools matter much either it’s all about the individual.

But I appreciate the dig xD
I don't know which side is right but I'm detecting a distinct lack of objective criteria or empirical evidence in this debate. What's a sixth grade reading level? Are the majority of US adults capable of that? How do you teach someone to read at a sixth grade level - other than simply having them practice? Can someone reach a sixth grade level only to later fall below it as their skills atrophy by voluntary disuse though adulthood?
I cannot even find one piece of jargon in that passage. Here is a list of marketing jargon [1]. Just because you are not exposed to a topic does not make any conversation about the topic contain jargon. If I say "baseball is a sport where you use a bat to hit a ball to score points", the word "bat" is not jargon because we only use that definition in the context of sports.

Great point! My grandfather's B-17 caught on fire back in the 1940's flying over California and the crew all had to bail out. They definitely did NOT hike back to the crash site.
That doesn't seem right - though I must say macs have always felt to me as if the boot->user desktop takes way longer than other OS'es.

> My guess is that the gulf between the author and people with autism who are less functional is greater than between a "neurotypical" and the author.

Your guess is wrong. Research shows that people like me still die before 60 from heart attacks and suicide, largely because people like you make assumptions about what may or may not be true about me and then try to hold us accountable to those assumptions.

Further: there is no "high end" of the spectrum, that's not what spectrum means. You're thinking of a gradient, which measures a specific value from 0 to 100 in some normalized sense.

A Spectrum is a gradient of gradients, and "Autism Spectrum" does not refer to the range of "severity" (which as established does not actually exist) but rather to the diversity of presentations.
Intel needs to focus and this is the right move. Intel did a bunch of shitty acquisitions during the time of BK, then the CEO of Intel. BK was a terrible visionary, jumping from drones to mobile-eye to velocicopters and sports media. BK, along with Sohail, directly caused the 10nm shitshow. At one point, Intel wanted to build a fitbit competitor. What happened to Realsense? What an epic boondoggle. IoT train never came. Intel NUCs have recent resurgence, but about the only 'edge' compute that's surviving. BK wasn't crucified by the investors because the datacenter revenue kept on growing which was basically on autopilot. Under his leadership, Intel slumped as the leader of semiconductor manufacturing and handed over the the crown to TSMC around 2016. This is just Pat cleaning things up internally, but I think with all the things that have been swept under the rug, the rug might have gotten spoiled.
I left the Bay Area and purchased a home in the Research Triangle for 1/3 of what I would have pain in SF, and I got way more for the money. Apple and Google are opening offices here, and the area is relatively progressive. There are 3 cities in close proximity with many universities. I feel that this area is very up and coming.
> I still think NFTs are a bubble that will come back down to Earth eventually. But I also find sneaker and stamp collectors equally perplexing, and people don't discuss these phenomena with the same sort of skepticism.

While I agree with basically all of your comment, I'd like to point out that plenty of people in the online space look at the sneaker market with the same skepticism... but that skepticism isn't stopping teenagers with rented bots from making some serious money buying and flipping new releases.
