> doesn't everyone respond extremely well to stimulants?

Not really - despite their popularity (as you say, heavily sought after), studies have shown that there really isn't a significant cognitive boost for neurotypical folks that take these stimulants[1]. While they have a significant effect for those with ADHD because their brain is not providing the chemicals properly, and these drugs enable that. They aren't boosting cognitive abilities for those with ADHD, they are fixing a problem so that folks with ADHD can think and focus properly.

Didn't spend a ton of time looking up the sources I've read this in, but here is one:

[1] - https://www.mdpi.com/2226-4787/6/3/58

> Studies support that stimulants enhance attention, memory, self-regulation and executive function in individuals with ADHD. Recent research, however, has found that many college students without ADHD report misusing prescription stimulants, primarily to enhance their cognitive abilities.

> ...

> Overall, the present findings indicate dissociation between the effects of Adderall on activation and neurocognition, and more importantly, contrary to common belief, Adderall had little impact on neurocognitive performance in healthy college students.

I'm sure they're talking about manipulating a single line and the fact that you're extremely limited by the behavior of machine for that particular line. Anything that doesn't fit within the hardware design constraints needs mid-line changes and/or clever hacks and, even with those, what you want to output might just not be physically possible.

I enjoy getting certain news letters. The key is to provide uncommon, valuable, well written information.

Take julian dot com for instance. I like his work so much so, that I am using it as an example here.
Nice writeup, been a while since I had used coq, it was nice to try and work it out from memory, but be able to refer back to your post when I got stuck.

Also threw together a tiny lean proof without tactics, figured i would post a link to it to avoid spoilers.

couldn't get the link to work in the lean-web-editor though.
But after they read your comment people will have always known it was sarcasm.
If you're going that way you can reasonably say that capitalism is the context that makes some of these things disorders in the first place.

For example it's still not clear to me whether I consider my adhd a disorder in a vacuum. It definitely is here, I can't consistently execute the tasks that that will allow me to safely live.

But there have definitely been times and places where "weirdo who is good with kids, calm in an emergency, and knows a lot of infrequently-used-but-valuable skills" is a role people are allowed to occupy.

I'm definitely disordered within a context where each individual must labor effectively or die. There have been other arrangements though. This is probably true for some, but not all or even maybe most, mental illnesses and neurological disorders as well.
... but, this isn't at all correct is it?

I chose a recession history from 2019 - not cherrypicked, just random, you are welcome to try also, and it talks about two negative quarters: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Recession&oldid=9...

Last week I corrected people implying that wikipedia editors were removing the 'two quarters history' and now I am correcting people that claim we suddenly added it in.

... you can literally look it up for yourself...

I think that Silicon Valley talks big on social issues precisely because they know they walk in the wrong direction.
I suspect it is worse now than when some of us were kids. Some of us had less exposure to stuff that could mess us up because there was less stuff available. After all, in my early youth we had only three TV stations.

I also see a parallel with HN and developers with impostor syndrome. Before HN, and even before Slashdot, I was a good developer. I wrote some impressive C, C++, and Java code that went into some serious projects. But now, thanks to HN, I know that I'm a below-average developer. Perhaps I'm not, but it sure feels that way because of what I see presented and discussed here.

If I had grown up with HN, I might not have done some of the things I did; rather I might have given up and chosen a career which I didn't feel inadequate at. This is how I imagine kids today feel with all the stuff they have access to. I mean heck, you can even go to youtube and see 10 year olds making amazing creations out of just about any material you can think of. How does that feel when you're still trying to cut straight lines on paper?
I understand why you suggest this, even though archivemount is LGPL, but I digress.

FUSE is cool and all but given it's "userspace" and we're just reading a single file here, I don't find this compelling versus reading from a block device in-process.

TFA is compelling because it's compression over specific data sets without being in the hot path for every operation. Putting a sqlite.db in a tarball is... problematic. There is no random access, so if your database doesn't fit in memory/cache, performance will be abysmal.
We started with a full-stack k8s approach (on GKE); left (switching to plain GCE VMs); then came back much more conservatively, just using GKE for the stateless business-layer while keeping stateful components on dedicated VMs. Much lower total maintenance burden.

(Hard-won bit of experience: k8s + Redis really don't like each-other if Redis 1. is configured to load from disk, and 2. your memory limit for the Redis container is somewhat-tightly bounded. At least from the k8s controller's perspective, Redis apparently uses ~400% of its steady-state memory while reading the AOF tail of an RDB file — getting the container stuck in an OOM-kill loop until you come along and temporarily de-bound its memory.)

However, we're considering switching back to k8s for stateful components, with a different approach: allocating single-node node-pools with taints that map 1:1 to each stateful component, effectively making these more like "k8s-managed VMs" than "k8s-managed containers." The point would be to get away from the need to manage the VMs ourselves, giving them over to GKE, while still retaining the assumptions of VM isolation (e.g. not having/needing memory limits, because the single pod is the only tenant of the VM anyway.)

FWIW, as a consumer:

98% of "newsletters" are awful spam and make me think more negatively about company.

2% of newsletters are ephemeral gold, and they come from various categories - I have great newsletters both from companies wanting to sell me stuff, as well as interesting bloggers & writers.

So if nothing else, there's definitely opportunity for differentiation. You can be better than the competition :). As a consumer, I'd say format (web page or app or newsletter) is less relevant - it's all about content and relevance, as well as timing and approach.

If you live in a representative democracy and vote for politicians that expand regulations, you are effectively regulating.

> yet they see a lot of need for regulation

Of course they do, their ideology reaches for that solution by default. Look at this particular thread just to see how misguided the recommendation for regulation was in this case.
> Have you seen their data?

Yes, for similar sized brands and types of campaign. I worked for quite some time in email marketing for blue chips.
Keeping some context in mind is probably helpful here. The target is WASM. And if you look at the organization the repo own is a part of, it is a web wallet for the cryptocurrency Nano.

So perhaps using a generic message serialization library is too slow for its use case since WASM's data types are just ints and floats since the parsing code can't behave like on a native CPU with things like bytes and C-structs?

It would have been great if they had disclosed links to issues regarding out-of-bounds access for things like Protobuf or Flatbuffer.
i absolutely think this is the next step. we're at a point now where it's becoming obvious to even a layperson that we really are lacking a lot of agency over our lives, which has been given over to big tech companies to arbitrate. i also think it could be a way away from the monopoly of facebook over our social lives, to have e.g. library servers which run a local instance of mastodon, for local people, to be connected to the actual community they're in. the only way to reverse suppression of small email providers is to make it more common for people to /use/ small email providers - which happens if it's more common for email addresses to be administered by someone you actually, physically know. for that to be the trust relationship with the system administrator, rather than blindly accepting every new privacy policy just because it feels like there's no other option. the more i research this topic, the more this feels like the only sustainable way out of the dystopian hellhole described in her letter.

> Solar is not the only clean, cheap energy source. Wind coexists nicely with agriculture.

Then why not nuclear too? The world sorely needs options where we can spend some CapEx and solve global warming. I see nothing wrong with a mix of hydro, solar, geothermal, wind, and nuclear. There is no reason not to expect capital efficiencies in larger nuclear build-outs compared to the sporadic reactors we've built for the last ~50 years.

Right now we are seeing coal and natural gas plants getting built because there aren't enough renewable options. As has been the case for the last 50 years while renewables catch up.
Maybe the "allegedly" is misplaced, I hope my overall point is clear anyway. Apple haven't "officially" helped Asahi, the change could have be made by a single contributor to the kernel for example, or more of a "why not" change without regarding Asahi specifically. We (unless you work at Apple) don't really know at this point.
> we'd like the scheduler to be aware of which node has which image

The kubernetes scheduler should be aware of which node has which image, that is why the Node object has the status.images field: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-ap....

It turned out to be somewhat tricky, because it increased the size of the Node object, and colocating node heartbeats onto the same object meant that a bigger object was changing relatively often. But that was addressed by moving heartbeats to a different object: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/589

A quick search on the New York Times website (nyt.com) shows quite a few articles discussing recession. Just search "recession". And you can see different articles and different contributors discussing various points of view.

Examples:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/29/opinion/recession-not-for...

It is true, as the Biden folks argued, that the nation’s official recession arbiter, the National Bureau of Economic Research, has yet to call one, because it relies on many more signals. Still, it sure sounded as if the Biden team was splitting hairs. (It's a recession opinion)

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/26/opinion/recession-gdp-eco...

But we won’t be. That’s not how recessions are defined; more important, it’s not how they should be defined. It’s possible that the people who actually decide whether we’re in a recession — more about them in a minute — will eventually declare that a recession began in the United States in the first half of this year, although that’s unlikely given other economic data. But they won’t base their decision solely on whether we’ve had two successive quarters of falling real G.D.P. (It's not a recession opinion)

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/25/business/biden-remarks-re...

That is true — not every recession includes two full quarters of negative growth, and in 1947 the economy shrank for two quarters without a recession declaration. But typically, two quarters of contraction lead to a recession call. (It's a recession opinion)

Stock Market Drop Accelerated as Recession Seemed More Likely

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/15/business/stock-market-rec...

etc.

Personally I think we're in a recession and/or facing economic headwinds due to a lot of different factors. I also don't know that it matters. If Biden came out today and said "we're in a recession" what exactly has changed? What specific actions should be taken so that we're not in a recession? Should we never be in a recession? Is that possible? If we are in a recession then why is that the case? Can anyone even point to specific actions that any organization or person has taken to cause a recession? I mean the Russian invasion of Ukraine is for sure a big deal in the global economy. Interest rates rising is a big factor. Do we point to those and say "those caused a recession"? If we do, then what do we do about it? Lower interest rates and lift sanctions on Russia so we're no in a recession?

And recession discussions are all over mainstream news and extensively covered by journalists and bloggers so I'm really confused as to why anyone who is talking about a recession would be an anti-Biden conspiracy theorist. Is the entire US public square an anti-Biden conspiracy since everyone is talking about it?
I'm sure that Docusaurus can do a lot, and more in the future. I think the resulting pages feel a little heavy to use (how they load and react in a browser), but that's just my personal opinion.

I had tried to find a tool that would be simple, quick to use, and as close to a static HTML page as possible while still retaining a "book" character. Even a Vimwiki HTML export would have been an option, were Vimwiki's Markdown support better. Mdbooks fit the bill, and does not seem to stray too much from that initial direction, as far as I can tell.
> If the person lost their actual keys and wallet, they've got bigger problems

Do they? Typically for those sorts of things you have recovery options. Your landlord will be able to get you a new key, your bank can issue you a new card.

Looking through my wallet, the only thing that would have a significant hurdle to replacing it is my Egyptian residence permit (I'd have to travel to Egypt to re-issue it). The only significant "loss" would be my current monthly public transport ticket, but if I can produce some kind of payment proof and am willing to argue with metro staff I might even be able to get that replaced.

Point being, there is a lot of recourse for offline things, but if you get into this situation with a tech company - there is none. I have a lost 10+ year old Gmail account and I could not regain access to it through any means even while working as an SRE at Google.

Serious question : why do publishers break down their blog posts into umpteen tweeted microblogs? Do the engagement web algorithms give preference to the number of tweets in a thread? I see this is becoming more of a trend (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32296873).

If I tweet the 587,287 words of Tolstoy's War & Peace are more people inclined to read it, or at least have it come across their feed?
Interesting, their use for that is so common I assumed it was a real effect. People who use them that way definitely think it helps. Prescription stimulants are also pretty powerful mood boosters though so I imagine it's very easy to assume you're smarter while on them just because they make you feel great.

Anyway thanks for the info, definitely upends an assumption I'd had for years.
There has definitely been a rash of anti-TikTok stories lately. I wonder if it's Facebook's PR department working overtime.

My preferred outcome would be if the companies involved performed mutual annihilation by making social media as a whole look as bad as possible.
Absolutely agree. Balancing the extremely technical side of things with humor and readability is such a rare feat.

The author, Nicole, has consistently been one of the shining stars of this sort of technoarcheology.

She's writing games for these consoles, too, so it's not just dry archeology. It's not dead technology to her.
I work with younger people in a tech-centric mentoring program. Most of them shun TikTok just as they shun other mainstream social media sites like Facebook.

However, there is another huge offender in the psychiatry misinformation space: Reddit.

The amount of incorrect, oversimplified, and downright weird psychiatry and psychology information they pick up from Reddit is astounding. The most common self-diagnosis is ADHD. Do some of them actually have ADHD? Sure, statistically speaking some of them will actually have ADHD. However, there’s something about Reddit’s hive mind that has convinced these people that the bar for ADHD is very low, such that they see everything as ADHD. It’s so bad that entire cohorts will come through and convince each other that they all have self-diagnosed ADHD, despite most of them functioning just fine in their personal, academic, and work lives.

They say things like “My brain doesn’t produce dopamine” (ADHD has dopaminergic involvement but it is not a disorder of decreased dopamine production, thats Parkinson’s) and other such statements that would be easily disproven with even cursory research on the topic. This is one of the most confusing aspects to me, as these are the same people who will spend hours researching the intricate details about front-end frameworks or other topics. There’s something about Reddit psychiatry that short-circuits past their normal logic and leads to blind acceptance.

I suspect the root problem is that they’re not actually going to Reddit for psychiatry advice or self-diagnosing with the goal of learning how to work with a mental health condition. It seems to be more about identity and adopting an explanation that makes them different and unique. ADHD has become especially attractive as a self-diagnosis because it’s trendy right now and it gives people a sense that their accomplishments are that much greater due to starting from a disadvantaged point.

Meanwhile, I have worked privately with several mentees who admit struggles with doctor-diagnosed ADHD and they behave completely differently. They usually don’t want to public announce their condition and go to lengths to avoid letting it be obvious to their peers or employers. The trivialization of genuine ADHD is massively frustrating to these people.
A community that does not control the narrative its members hear, will cease to be a community. A massively dystopian reality I feel we are only beginning to understand.

As an aside, a TikTok employee told me TikTok is known to trigger old maladies like anorexia etc. I was told this after mentioning that trying TikTok gave me my first nicotine cravings in several years.
'the missing millions' has been a conundrum for economists for past 18 months - where the massive layoffs in 2020, should have led to a high liquidity labour market in 2021, but didn't as thousands of vacancies remained unfilled. The significance of long term illness - maybe permanent debilitation - is likely to have been underestimated
Sounds like a false equivalence. The contradiction here is between our physical rendition of a phenomenon (like the image being rendered upside-down on the retina due to optics) and experience. We don't have a physical description of belief systems or philosophical views (nor we can), so I don't see how the sarcastic remark applies to those contexts.
This is an absolutely abhorrent take.
