I did the same thing as you. I wasn't on Concerta for as long; I started on Ritalin in 3rd grade, and switched to Concerta my senior year of high school. I dropped all meds in college.

I actually tried TWICE to drop my meds. Each time my life fell apart, as you described.

The second time, however, I did not interpret my life falling apart the way you did: instead of interpreting it as validation of the medication's effectiveness, I interpreted it as a withdrawal period. So the second time I quit, I expected going into it that the process of adapting to life without medication would probably last at least 2-3 years.

I can't say what would've happened had I taken your path and not mine. But fifteen years in, I have no regrets. I still don't do what I'm told, but I'm productive and happy and useful. I've found my own way, and it's been a good way.
Total number of howitzers, MLRS etc across all NATO countries combined is in the same range as what Russia posesses. So that is not going to end the war, just more people will die. This is not a soccer game.
I am on the cloud provider side; we would sometimes limit the upper and lower range of frequency but completely disabling scaling would be very unusual.
> Short term for treasuries is generally considered <= 1 year, BSV is only 1 to 5 years.

BSV is literally named "Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF".

That being said, the only "standardized" terms I'm aware of are Bills (less than 1 year), bonds (greater than 10 years), and Notes (1 to 10 years).

In any case, it is clear that BSV is considered short-term by Vanguard and its investors. So I'm more than willing to believe in Vanguard's language over yours.

In California you get 500 bucks a month and a lot of free hand outs if you are on the streets. This has been blasted all over the western world media, arguably resulting in more migration to pleasant weather and resources.

It's easy to rose-tint the past.

(Methylphenidate is not amphetamine btw. Other ADHD meds are literally amphetamines but I'm only talking about methylphenidate)

If cocaine had positive effects that outweighed the negatives then it absolutely should be prescribed. But it doesn't. Unlike methylphenidate - which for most people has fairly mild downsides at the doses it is usually prescribed in. It is also largely non-addictive with little evidence of long-term health damage.

Also unlike cocaine.

All in all, I'm not sure how this comparison helps.

Uh, yeah?

If you have nukes you can pretty much do whatever you want, short of launching them at another nuclear power. That's just like, reality.

Remember this the next time everyone bellyaches about "unfair sanctions" or whatever when some country even hints that they're pursuing a nuclear program.
I am fairly sure inequality is more extreme than that (top 10% hold 70%) at the moment, and it was less bad in the second half of the 20th century. The top US marginal income tax rate was 90% in the 1960s, and 70% in the 1970s, and it did not seem to discourage GDP growth or innovation.

That can be true, but it's not true in this case. Eric Mazur's classroom is sort of a visitor sport -- people come from around the world to observe. I'd encourage you to do the same. It's very human.

As originally implemented, the technique was pretty simple:

- You give a traditional lecture

- Every five minutes or so, students are asked a question to see if they understand concepts

- The system peers students who answered differently to discuss. Students can change their answers at the end.

- The instructor and class see aggregated statistics (e.g. 90% of people answered 27, 5% answered 54, and 5% gave other answers)

- Based on the feedback, the instructor can do a deeper dive into places where there are common misconceptions

Today's class is very different. Mazur juggles all sorts of peer learning models, 360 reviews, etc. in ways which are superhuman. But that's the original model.

Most of the uses of formative assessment lead to classrooms feeling more personal, more personalized, and more human.

There are control-oriented systems which scare the heck out of me, like GoGuardian and Securely, but this isn't it. There is a complex ethics question of how to build systems which don't dehumanize students.
Unlike many parts of California, Houston is not exactly a welcoming environment (weather) for the unhoused.

It's built on a swamp after all.

The summer is a brutal mix of heat and humidity that basically runs from May through September with frequent severe storms or tropical events. October and November start to get cold and from December through March it alternates between the 70s and 30s. March and April are nice again as long as you can get out of the rain.

Houston does not exist without HVAC and living without it is difficult and frequently dangerous.
That has always been my fear and objection. I worshipped my own crazy creative engine. But after decades of failing to complete those awesome ideas, failure to execute, follow through I would suggest that you experiment. It's not some permanent contract.

Currently I take L Tyrosine, CDP Choline, coffee, lionsmane and kava. My focus and ease of attention are amazing, and I've been very productive.

Even if I get diagnosed and get a prescription, I would still take these supplements as they support the core problem: low dopamine, low acetylcholine. Eat well, exercise too.
In fact, this is really simple: If Putin wants to launch nukes, he will launch nukes. If Putin thinks it will help his cause, he will launch nukes. There's nothing we can do about this.
The strongest weapon Russia has right now is the threat of launching nukes it seems...
Thank you for your support. My response got downvoted to oblivion, so I deleted it. One day, people will be less angry and care more about what happened.
> Why does everyone want to tax the billionaires?

Because they take a lot of value out of a shared society and concentrate too much power on their hands.

> What are you going to get out of it?

Reduce the power discrepancies, mostly, and money too.

> Do you think taxing the billionaires is actually going to help the poor people?

Yep.

You are asking about government efficiency, but one of the reasons for the lack of efficiency is that billionaires do not want it.
> First, not everyone, Ukrainians knew

That's completely false. Just read the news from February.

U.S. Intelligence was warning Ukraine that Putin was planning to invade while Zelensky was in denial.

The invasion began on Thursday Feb. 24. On Monday Feb. 21, Zelenky was insistent that Putin wouldn't be crazy enough invade Ukraine.

Here's some articles from right before the invasion

A huge number of tricky thread problems go away if the child thread is blocked at startup, and allowed to run only after the parent allows it. To retrofit this, it is easiest to lock a mutex before spawning and have the child block on that. Then the parent unlocks it to let the child run.

I firmly believe Musk, Gates, and Buffet to name a few do more good with their money than if any government got their hands on it. Not all the billionaires are bad.
> Much more useful to focus on system level incentive than to focus on a small minority at the top.

The issue is that the minority at the top can easily hinder development of system level incentive to cement their power, once they have achieved such a power imbalance.

Could you elaborate on this attack? It’s an interesting read, but I’m curious about practicality.

How would you ensure that the user loads your malicious script, and has a running web worker for it?

I see that you trained it on 100 websites. Would you need to retrain for every new version deployed or different paths with varying content?

If your intention is to detect sensitive website accesses, wouldn’t you need those websites to be public to train the model first? I’m not convinced that detecting porn access is particularly malicious, but I acknowledge that it is illegal in some places.

It's not taxes, the taxes are high but the gross salaries in EU and even in the UK are very low, compared to the USA. You don't have stuff like developer making 200K a year but taking home 50K a year, it's more like making 60K a year and taking home 40K.

IMHO it's the culture and the VC environment. There's simply not that much money around to throw at moonshot projects, therefore you don't have many unicorns that lose a few billion euros a year paying extravagant salaries for talent. Obviously EU is a very rich place but people with money invest their money in stuff that are profitable right away, likely to be profitable in short term because a giant company is behind it or invest in the US companies if they are more adventurous.
> On the one hand the US is asking the EU and allies to stop buying oil and whatever from Russia.

> WE'RE going to buy from Russia.

Having spent three years consulting for federal agencies, this behavior seems to align with my experiences. You learn not to say anything because it's a waste of time and energy. There are other ways to constructively spend your time, like focusing on the mission and the task at hand.

The cool thing is that you can do this attack with code execution rather than physical access. That means a totally separate threat model.
Have you already launched?
You can support Ukraine and fight inflation, both are good actions. It's a level of sanctions that has to be adjusted properly.

The wrong thing to do would be to drop all sanctions to try to lessen inflation in hopes of getting elected.

> predict the presence, make, model & operational schedule of someone's washing machine just by observing how fast their power meter spins over time

I think this is a really excellent analogy that explains the situation well. However, I think doing exactly that would be really straightforward, and your analogy explains why. Imagine an ML model constantly adjusting the probabilities for the set of possible washing machines... after a large number of washing machine runs, it will be narrowed down to a really small subset of the possibilities. Given that this is a cryptographic key, they can then trivially brute force the remaining possibilities.
From GP above:

>"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."

Japan enacting harsher punishments for cyber bullying is not a slippery slope into free speech infarction, as the harm principle has always been part of the philosophy. GP's stance is based on an increasingly common misconception (these days in the U.S. at least) that free speech means freedom from consequence.
Sadly no amount of UI levity can excuse all the ways modern macOS phones home and violates my privacy. I'd rather have a boring OS that doesn't need remote permission to let me run unknown applications, one preferably made by a company that haven't publicly stated their desire to scan my devices for distasteful/illegal personal data.
I worry about the unaccounted soft power of someone with that much money. Through lobbying and market consolidation, the extremely wealthy hold disproportionate political and economic power. At least with corrupt politicians, in a liberal democracy there is some amount to which they are accountable to the people. The power of the wealthy is without account except through government action. laisse-faire capitalists like to hand wave and imagine this power is "not a problem" when it very clearly is, with people like the Kochs wielding their power to sow political propaganda. They did not "earn" that power, or at the very least I don't think people deserve that power even if they were skillful businessmen. For me, it has nothing to do with sour grapes, I don't care that they have more money then I can imagine, other than they can use that money to have a greater voice than me.
I'm 24, and started on meds about six months ago. My experience with the double-edged sword sounds similar to your own.

I had the same concerns, but I found them to be unwarranted; there was no 'trade'. For me, it's more like being given access to a dial to control the speed of all the scattered thoughts flying around in my head. I can space out and get distracted just as effectively as I do without meds, but when I need to focus, I can nudge that dial. Focus is an active process, and it's one that I maintain control over.
Whatever the people decide. That's why we have democracy.
So what if their product is arguably poorer in quality than it used to be, so what if there are spammed-out reviews or whatever? You're not showing that any of their competitors are better in the eyes of most consumers, and they definitely have competitors, very large ones in fact (eg Walmart, AliExpress, eBay).

If you think Amazon is unfairly using their monopoly to keep others out and capture the market, state your claim. If you think competitors could do better, prove it with consumer choice.

Walmart or Shopify or eBay or wherever you want to shop are just a click away. If consumers think they can do better, then they will. I have already ditched Amazon for all those reasons. But you cannot speak for others.
I do believe that it's not "at all cost" though. Otherwise a nuclear power could do literally anything and you wouldn't be able to stop them "because nukes". If Putin started rolling tanks into Poland saying "don't stop me or I'll fire nukes" that would be the time to call his bluff, even if the consequences of getting this wrong are dire. The line has to be somewhere - right now it's the border of NATO member countries.
no, the article says the opposite, these policies are specifically for the chronically homeless and "most vulnerable". These are not the ones most likely to get back on their feet.
Posted about this separately (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31743388) thanks for pointing me to this post.

I used to work at Google where they have an internal tool called mldash. Was never able to find an equivalent user experience outside Google until now.

To be honest, I rarely need versioning for my datasets, and I had sort of put DVC into a bucket in my mind called "dataset versioning". For this reason, I have not really been a DVC user until now.

From what I see in this post, though, you guys are building a more cohesive experience around the common tasks that someone has to do in the course of training, deploying, and evaluating a machine learning model. Experiment tracking is a great place to start. Kudos.
Nothing wrong with buying property that they plan on using productively.
The WARN act in California is a good example [1]. They must give 60 days notice, but the way to get around this (it seems) is to lay off without warning and give 60 days pay.

> Then what are you suggesting? That Putin ought to be allowed to do literally anything he wants because if we tried to stop him he might nuke everyone?

"Henry Kissinger, who wondered in his 1957 book Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy if extending the American deterrent to all of Europe at a time when the threat of total destruction hung over the US itself would actually work: ‘A reliance on all-out war as the chief deterrent saps our system of alliances in two ways: either our allies feel that any military effort on their part is unnecessary or they may be led to the conviction that peace is preferable to war even on terms almost akin to surrender... [1]"

In summary, the concern you raise is actively discussed in security circles. Post Ukraine, it's increasingly common to see the absolute nuclear taboo questioned.

Until the first nuclear power lobs a tactical nuke and doesn't suffer reprisal, we'll be in an uncomfortable transition period, analogous to the time immediately preceding MAD. (And let's be honest. If Putin lobbed a tactical nuke at Ukraine, does anybody seriously think he'd face military force?)

If you have better data on the subject we’re talking about, feel free to share it.
That's very bad. 99% of organizations don't have a volume of alerts that justifies any of MySQL, Redis and RabbitMQ.

Complexity comes at a steep price when something critical (e.g. OnCall) breaks and you have to debug it in a hurry.

Shoving everything in a container and closing the lid does not help.
The attack isn't nicely asking the computer "hey how fast are you running right now?" and then deriving the private key from that data. If that was the case the fix would be as simple as you laid out here.

This attack works by measuring the absolute (wall) time that elapses during many crypto operations and deriving the speed / private keys based on statistical methods applied to that timing data.

Side-channel attacks are by definition, attacks against unintentional information leakage by a machine. The laws of thermodynamics virtually ensure that side channel attacks will be a persistent issue as long as computers are made of matter and consume electricity, multi-tenant computing exacerbates the issue.

If I'm coming across as defensive, then I haven't been clear enough. I'm not defensive, I'm furious but I'm trying to channel it into rational discourse. There's nothing "defensive" about wanting to stop the propagation of this trope.

And yes, it's a trope. I said very clearly that this is not about rising rates of ADHD diagnoses and medication. The trope I'm referring to is the tendency to not only jump to a conclusion that it means we have an overdiagnosis crisis, but to present that conclusion as a fact and a significant problem.

The reason why I'm furious about it is because this narrative has been pushed for years and it has a negative impact on those of us who wish to help our children. In my personal case, it created a strong urge to avoid addressing the issue and just hope it would go away with "better parenting". If it hadn't been for the stigma of "you just want to drug your kids into submission", I would have started helping my kid earlier -- not with medication, but by finding a psychologist to help us.

Again, the focus on "school is boring and kids misbehave, so they get drugged" is too narrow and damaging to those who are affected by ADHD. Imagine being interested in many things, but not being able to advance in any of them beyond initial interest because your brain doesn't let you overcome simple obstacles that require concentration and it only lets you do so if you become somewhat obsessed by a particular random thing it settled on.

Yes, the study I (belatedly) linked in my previous post does indicate that there might be some overdiagnosis and overmedication of milder ADHD cases. And yes, that's something that we need to be aware of and work to improve.

I'm not objecting to raising that awareness. I'm objecting to the utterly irresponsible and damaging way to do so.
You mean the instant acceleration you get from an expensive EV with a powerful motor. No Leafs out there keeping up with Teslas.
It's crazy how responsible some automakers can be when it comes to responding to safety issues with their vehicles...

Ford found the issue, filed a voluntary recall, and ask their dealers not to sell the vehicle until the fix was published.

Meanwhile, another famous car manufacturer pretends there is nothing wrong with their vehicles, fights every recall tooth and nail, and continuously makes false claims about their vehicles' safety and capabilities...
And Europe isn’t buying Russian oil? You have NATO members still on Russian energy. Why bother about other countries?
You would need to block access to high-resolution time sources. Because all an attacker needs is accurate measurement of how long code ran.
if by OP you mean me, thats not true, I am motivated. I was being succient in my point and hoping to understand what others felt / do in my situation, if they have any similar experience. I'm extremely motivated to get to the bottom of this. I've been roadblocked by therapy in some ways, because they just say your sex drive is yours, her sex drive is hers, and it shouldn't define your relationship on one hand to another therapist telling me that women should drive sex in a relationship not men to yet another telling me that I don't exhibit a normal pattern of sexual desire but gave little recommendation in the way of action on what to do about it.

Doctors are even worse, they either don't see an issue, or just want to throw ED pills at me.

Its alot more complicated than you might think. I just didn't want to put all of this into one post like that, so it didn't augment peoples opinions.

I'm somewhat regretting this now, as I wonder if any potential employer might track down my identity now and see these posts and think lesser, but I'm willing to put myself out like this so I can hear from others, and I think thats worth the potential exposure
