The training set is a one time computation though, running the model still costs cycles and people have to pay for it (see sites like Hugging Face or GooseAI). What people are asking about is the code itself and the one time computed training set. They're not asking to run the trained model for free.

Anyway, getting cycles isn't too hard, expect CoreWeave or another compute-centric company to hop on board in due course.

A person with ADHD exists in a broader social, economic, genetic context.

Having a high IQ, being economically privileged, very good looking,is going to change the impact ADHD has on someone.

Also, its widely agreed that ADHD is over diagnosed.

Keep those points in mind when reading accounts like these.
Thank you for pointing that out. I misinterpreted that bit to mean something less accurate than CAS.
Hard disagree. At least from a business perspective. The transition to Apple silicon was likely more about long-term cost savings and their ruthless vertical integration. Apple appeals to customers (most customers, HN users are outliers) as a luxury brand and their market dominance is based on their brand more than their products. The products need to look distinct with high quality finish. Like Louis Vuitton bags or Polo shirts. Otherwise they'd be back to occupying the niche of the laptop for graphic designers.

I was the 30 year old that went to night school to study a degree in Computer Science. I got my first real tech role (paying $85k) three years into my six years of study. I've just made my first job switch for a $40k payrise with six months left in my degree. I'll graduate late this year and I'll probably also be close to my next payrise which will put me at $140-150k.

I cannot recommend enough making a switch like this. It isn't easy. In fact, it can be really difficult. My life and the life of my children are going to reap benefits from this. If you're reading this and thinking "Can I do this?" then I'd highly recommend you attempt to find a way to make it work.
> When your business is, even just operationally, different in some way, bespoke is often the best way.

most business think themselves different, esp. in their IT infrastructure. It's closer to hubris imho.

If you have an internal/back office app, it doesn't require a custom UI framework to be created.

The only place where a custom framework should be created is if the domain of the software is custom.
> When I was around seventeen I took a Real Analysis class at Columbia University.

How typical.

> When my first-year hallmates were “studying” they were looking out the window, playing with their pencils, talking to their roommates, all sorts of stuff that wasn't studying. When I needed to study I would hide somewhere and study. I think the ability to focus on just one thing for a few hours at a time is a great gift that ADD has given me.

That's the opposite of executive disfunction. (To be fair, the author does describe other hallmarks of executive disfunction elsewhere.)

Wow that's strange to read from someone who blogs about programming !
There's not many great places for such a switch, and even then, then you have to validate _that_ behavior. It's mostly just not worth it.
How would Apple ban you from running apps on a Mac?

>When I was at Amazon, we didn’t take boot camp grads very seriously, and in recent years the company only looked into this to increase diversity hiring, specifically boot camps oriented towards either women or the LGBT community.

I think because average candidate quality of bootcamp grad probably pretty low, due to shortness of the program and people thinking all they need to do is complete the bootcamp, when really you need to stay learning for years.

Also Amazon is top tier, wouldn't expect someone with 3 months experience being able to keep up unless they were really top notch.
Great points, transactions are certainly useful in helping developers think about state transitions. I think some of the ~snark might come from my personal struggles with trying to convey why wrapping non idempotent state transitions in "BEGIN TRANSACTION ... COMMIT" doesn't immediately make the system reliable. I completely agree transactions make understanding the state transitions easier and that is valuable.

I do think CRDTs or idempotency/fencing tokens are also a valuable way to reason about state transitions, and they can provide much lower latency in a global distributed system.
Pretty much every company I've worked with not just doesn't care about bootcamps, but actively avoids them. They prefer self-taught over scammed-into-crash-course. In particular, they don't trust that any github projects were completed independently.
Time stamping and trust authorities are going to be very valuable. Keysigning ceremonies will become the law of the land.
It doesn't seem to be a very historically accurate or cover modern examples where OOP works well. The original OOP was Simula 67 used for simulation that doesn't use the definition of OOP in the video. I have no idea where that one comes from.

I'd say maybe 50% of application code I see (not write) are web UI/clients. Something like React with OOP components work very well. Same goes for mobile or UI's in general. The argument would be more persuasive if it used a more common definition of OOP and concrete examples of both good and bad applications to show which kinds of cases fit and which don't.
Kudos to them if it's secret. This isn't how development should work, ever.

Even though I actually worked for a telecom company in 1999 as my first programming job, the telecom stuff has always been mysterious.

Even with everything being voIP now it still feels mysterious.

So I still can’t wrap my head around what happens when you go from a Twilio api call to the cell tower and ultimately the handset.

Are these guys claiming that the software does all that?

In which case, how do I hook into the carriers and telecom infrastructure?

Would Verizon give me an IP to connect to? Which protocol?
I think you're right, over the last couple years i've noticed ADHD as becoming like a hobby mental disorder. Lot's of people claim it as like something to be proud of. If you really have ADHD then you know it's an absolute miserable experience and the right medication can change you're life. I wasn't properly diagnosed until my very early 30s and I bounced around different medicine until i found the right one and dosage for me. The level of mental peace it has afforded me cannot be overstated. Anyone bragging about having ADHD doesn't have it IMO.
As an tech professional and coder I can still say that barely 5% of my work is constrained by CPU. I'd trade all their hardware improvements for physical left and right click buttons instead of those awful trackpad gestures.

"The book is a delightful guide to the many facets of the internet that are hidden in plain view—from the the small graffiti like utility markings sprayed on to asphalt, to the gigantic “Carrier Hotel” skyscrapers that house telecom switches. Some of the symbols and objects are easier to spot than others, but once you know they’re there, you can’t stop seeing them."
I don't think so. Maybe 20-50% of people can learn to be decent at programming. Maybe less than 10% can be really good. The simple fact that you're on this website makes me think you can probably learn if you put in the effort.
It is sexism when those women specify that they are being mocked by men. Being mean is not a trait inherent to women or men as the prevailing attitude in these comments implies.

>for talking about how painful it can be isn't helpful.

Allowing a culture of men complaining about women to fester is not healthy for society.
This seems to be somewhat biased in favor of vocabulary. It would be interesting to see if there are similar methods for estimating breadth of vocabulary from 10 words and checking for correlation. You could perhaps use this to scale the score. The cynic in me feels like this would just result in headlines like "Knowing more words makes you creative"

This isn't about the hardware, it's about thread count.

There are limits in the linux kernel, and the 5m concurrent connections was chosen to exceed it.

From what I remember (my knowledge is ancient though), a Java thread consumes a pid_t in the linux kernel. By default this is limited to 64k. However, this can be increased by setting a flag in the kernel, to a maximum 2^22 or 4m.

In order to have more than 4m connections, the existing Java code either needs to be changed to be event driven, or it can't use kernel threads.

Event driven code is very different. It's very powerful, but it is very easy to get lost. Think writing Java code that looks like a Makefile with dependencies or "andThen" everywhere, and everyone having to make sure everything is threadsafe. Thread safety is hard for large teams with high qps services - deadlocks can bring down a service.

If a developer can write "regular" non-re-entrant Java code and still get the concurrent connections? Win all around.
Thank you! Hoping to be a part of the solution.
This is what I remember from those times: if you had external gear (synth, sampler etc.) then the Atari was your best bet because of the built-in MIDI ports[1] and consequently having a good ecosystem in terms of MIDI sequencers. (Cubase, for example, was available for ST)[2].

If you didn't have external gear, then you would go for Amiga (maybe using a cheap Amiga sampler interface[3], and a music tracker[4] as the software) due to the fact that Amiga had better onboard audio, courtesy of Paula[5]. (IIRC, it wasn't until the Falcon that Atari caught up with Amiga in terms of onboard audio).

It started with some interesting analysis of the war in Ukraine. By the time it started trying to parse out the hidden meaning behind Biden's reference to a "new world order", I was getting a little suspicious. Then it started complaining about censorship, making an argument I'm sympathetic to but which seemed largely irrelevant. (Meanwhile it picked Hillary Clinton of all people to quote.) And then it pivoted all the way to full-scale complaining about wokeness.

Edit: In particular, the article quotes Biden claiming that "democratic progress is under assault" in "so many places, including [..] the United States." Biden is presumably trying to make a point about domestic issues ranging from the January 6th riot and Trump's attempt to contest the election results to Republican voter suppression laws – all issues on which there can be debate, but which are clearly related to democracy or the lack thereof, and not directly related to 'wokeness'-type social issues. But the article uses the quote to support the proposition that: "it has to be Woke. Otherwise it is not a real Democracy, but something else."

Sigh. That's Substack for you.
Is the way architects work on buildings functional? It appears architects have no influence on most buildings out there in the world, until one day they design a giant multi-billion dollar sports stadium that looks like a body part[0]. There's nothing in the middle, mainly because in the US we essentially banned building anything interesting around 1970.

"A Pattern Language" was supposed to be about designing buildings that the inhabitants could then adapt for their own purposes, but it's unclear if this actually ever happens.

Huh, for some reason #matrix-dev:matrix.org hadn't been set to be world readable; I've now flipped the bit to make it visible. Meanwhile, a room which is already world-readable like #matrix:matrix.org should look like this: https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/m... if you hit https://app.element.io/#/room/#matrix:matrix.org in an incognito tab.

> If it was a personality type, you wouldn't be able to treat it with medication.

I don’t follow your logic here. Why do you say that? FWIW what I’m saying here is supported by psychiatrists who prescribe the medication.

> Plenty of more physical effects than that, it's not all at the conceptual level.

Of course, I just gave one symptom that many people find relatable when looking at the list of potential ADHD indicators. The symptoms you mention can also be indicators of ADHD but many people can’t sleep or have variable heart rates unrelated to ADHD, so thanks for these physical examples.
>I don't know about that

The majority of people never were in a pension plan, and even now a lot of people in pension plans don't work for that employer a full career, only getting partial payouts.

Currently the main source of retirement funds for most retirees is Social Security. So all those supposed people in wonderful pensions from the 1970s and so on either don't exist or make so little from those pensions that SS still pays more.

Don't assume your local situation is what the majority sees.
Yeah great point thanks.

Oh, I meant to say mental side effects. But don't SSRIs need a ramping-off period if you stop taking them? With Adderall you just get a bit tired for a week.

I also don't find it addictive at all, ie I often forget to stop taking it. Forgot today in fact. The non-stimulant ADHD drugs like Intuniv are actually substantially more habit-forming, in that you can't quit them cold turkey or your heart rate will be quite affected.
You’re looking through rose colored glasses. My PowerMac 6100/60 ran 68K apps slower than my LCII with a 68030-40Mhz accelerator. The original 1st gen 68K emulator was really bad.

Connectix became famous for shipping SpeedDoubler, a much better emulator. But my 6100/60 could still barely keep up with the 68030-40Mhz.

The emulator performed even worse on the PPC 603.
I think the quality of my research is considerably above average. Unfortunately the people making hiring decisions mostly look at things like number of publications and years of experience and rarely the actual publications themselves.
Yep. I got a job because I followed comma.ai's self driving car project and then did a port to a new car. I got a lot of help from community and explained this to my employer but they didn't really care, only cared that I was passionate enough to do my own project.
Because someone else is going to come along behind you and need to maintain what you wrote. If you're using a standard, just about anybody can sit down and pick up where you left off within an hour or two
From what I remember of the academic job market in the 1990s, this was a real issue. You had all these top level researchers filling positions that would have been taken by newly minted PhDs. It resulted in a spurt of quality work being produced at the destination institutions, but I was even then concerned about the effect on the younger generations both in the West and the ex-USSR.
My argument is that if there was a significant bias against them then that gap would not exist or be much smaller.

Looking at the ADHD diagnostic criteria:
https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html

The criteria specifies that
"There is clear evidence that the symptoms interfere with, or reduce the quality of, social, school, or work functioning."

I don't see this as being the same thing as ADHD being a NEGATIVE. It's like saying that being short is a disorder because it interferes with picking fruit from tall trees, and being tall is a disorder because it interferes with your ability to be a jockey. While both of these are true, it's ultimately condescending to frame either of these as a "disorder" simply because both aspects negatively interfere with one lives in certain contexts.

The diagnostic criteria does not rule out that one can be an exceptional A+ student which still has their symptoms interfere with school functioning if they're for instance repeatedly sent to the principals office for disrupting classes. Simply the very fact they have an issue that other children typically do not typically have, wipes away all consideration of their positive merits, and justifies a rather insulting label. To me, this is reflective of the typical feeling superior to those who are atypical.

>I think the threshold for where we think some Neurotype is affecting our life has been lowered dramatically.

Undoubtedly, but this doesn't in itself justify not lowering the threshold.

Do you think that for any given domain, if there's someone who can make better use of that domain than the current owner, they should be allowed to take it?

For example, soup.com is just a redirect to https://www.liptonkitchens.com/ right now, without any specific content of its own, so they're using it even less than this person is using wormhole.com, since he's using it for his email address. If I am prepared to start an actual soup related blog should lipton be forced to give the domain to me?
haha missed that. words like "plenum", "scoliosis" etc. i dunno if they qualify
Yes, it was a joke. I don't think I said anywhere that all of these were bad ideas. The point was that everyone was trying lots of different ideas, because no one had any solid theoretic basis to tell them what might actually work.

Review by domain experts would be nice, but keep in mind this is just a hobby blog, not an academic publication.
