I am also not.

But anything that gives me insight into how I differ from others, and how their mind works has helped me.

Even books like "The Intelligent Negotiator", "The Intelligent Conversationalist" which superficially seems to be mainly about manipulating and scamming people give interesting insights into how people work.

I've also read some books on pedagogy, a subject I hate due to how much childhood trauma its rigid application caused me..

Maybe because of it.. Those books, at least the old ones I read, define the boxes into which children will and must fit, the methods to make them fit, and the reasoning behind those methods..

Very interesting stuff to read for me, because it made it clear why it didn't work on me, and why it would have worked on my peers. They are almost lists of "behaviour X is due to situation Y" which may be true for neurotypical children, but were certainly not for me. I digress, they gave me good insights into how "the others" work.
That is certainly a very useful service.

I think the solution need some improvement, because:

1. The system relies in a third party person. What happens if the user loses the qrcode? Or even if he becomes unavailable?

2. What if the system send the e-mail, but the user doesn't see it (mail server error, spam inbox, etc)?

3. What if the server/domain goes down? This type of service must the the most reliable possible. Maybe a government funded project could address this.

I hope you find solutions for these problems.

Since you touched this subject, Google has a service that aims the same, but the validation is different. If the user doesn't access his account after n months, a phone call is made to the user AND an e-mail is sent to someone the user choose.

Hallelujah, as I recently discovered I'm on the ASD, this speaks great truths.

Autism is a disability (but it's only a disability because our society is disabled) —— the individual isn't disabled.

Obviously, many people don't believe "reasonable accommodations" are to be made and that our society is to be improved and resolve to neologisms such as "ausplaining" which I find deeply inappropriate in our times.
It is interesting to note how Climbing and Sailing use different knots because each sport has different priorities or different threat models.

When it comes to knot strength (how much the knot reduces the rope's breaking strength), they are quite similar, both sports seek strong knots after all both sports can apply quite strong forces on the rope, so better not to weaken it.

But when it comes to knot security (how easily the knot fails to hold) they go to very different strategies. Sailing knots mostly seek a balance between good-enough security and practicality, mostly knots that one can still easily undo even after it was tightened by a very strong load on the rope. While climbing knots seek top security above all, even if they can be a pain in the ass sometimes to undo.
They already do this, especially for cancer.

Phase 3 trials aren't always needed. Phase I/IIb are common.
Author might be confusing “autistic people can’t acknowledge when they’re wrong” with “you can’t acknowledge when you’re wrong”

In all of the straw men he presents, it’s curious that none of them entertain the possibility that he ever is actually wrong. The issue isn’t that he is autistic it’s more likely he's simply insufferable.
I tend to view it the other way round: happy people are dumber. As a general rule only though.
Putin is a nationalist dictator whose foreign policy seems to be driven by some combination of a persecution complex, an inferiority complex, and a Mafia-like need for "respect", and perhaps to distract from the domestic situation. I do not think there are any signs that resurrecting the Czarate is one of his motives; it is merely that they have resulted in something that resembles it (or the Soviet Union without the nominal socialist theory, for that matter.) One might as well compare him to a Byzantine emperor or a shogun.
He openly admits his default way of dealing with the miscommunication was to quietly walk out of the room. Looks like he could consider some of his own advice. Also, referring to "allistic communication patterns" might also be another impediment here. Normal people don't talk like that. It's like talking to a robot.

You're reading more into this piece than is there. The author never advocates that the rest of the world should change. This post only claims that these miscommunication scenarios between experts on the autistic spectrum and allistic people HAPPEN.

They happen to me too.

Understanding the nature of the miscommunication is the first step towards averting it in the future.
I have found that sometimes nobody is wrong. Sometimes it is a preference that is being debated (once you dig in). As such, it's not as important to be right as it is to preserve a working relationship. I also try to decide if the thing being discussed the "hill to die on" or is it not really worth debating? Advice I give my kids to think about is- if you think you are right and it feels like the whole world insists you are wrong, take a second and try to make sure you are as right as you think you are. In my experience, it is a rare thing that everyone is totally wrong about something. And- in the end, if you're right, you're right-- but does it really matter? Does being "right" help you or those you are debating in that specific situation-- or is it only pride that motivates you? I think we need to relearn that it's okay to disagree.
> more than half the population is below average intelligence.

I guess I'm in the bottom half, then; I thought the average was that quantity for which half are below, and half are above.
Ribbonfarm is better than anything else for non-neurotypical people. The examples are real and accurate although it does kind of spiral into odd places at the end.

Using operating system provided functionality, a GUI library or anything in libc, isn't something I'd hold against anyone when counting lines of code. Relying on an entire external project however, that's a bit misleading.
I think those are two separate points.

They've found a profitable market where they can rent out EVs to Uber drivers slightly more long term which is cheaper for them and they pass some of that onto the drivers creating a win win.

But, renting more cars out to professional drivers should in theory increase mileage and so maintenance. I believe by maintenance here they're not talking about the touch points, but what most people would think of when you say "maintenance".

As they said, lower maintenance was not a surprise. It's been widely reported by fleets of EVs as a benefit.

Seems like the correlations between IQ tests and life outcomes related to this ill defined questions does imply a degree of crossover in rotating shape skill and dealing with the ambiguities of life. However that is probably genetic or due to early development , not something where practicing shape rotation to improve it further will improve your marriage or relationship with your kids.
Funny you said that. Slavery, for instance, was abolished in Canada ~30 years before the USA.

I guess it can go both ways.
> This post is about Google pushing RCS to other platforms.

RCS doesn't belong to Google. It's a standard.
And yet none of the hypothetical examples seem to entertain that possibility.
Regarding blinding: I was part of a clinical trial (phase III, not the drug or cancer this article relates to). It couldn't be blinded - the side effects of the trial drug were too significant compared to just the standard of care which was the control. Also it would have been obvious during infusion, etc.

There are many different ways to conduct research like this, of course there is no single perfect methodology.

> Because I tend to think holistically, my questions may seem unrelated to the original question. I reason in terms of systems, networks, interfaces, communication patterns, and feedback loops (...) Often, people will be surprised, not understanding why I am asking a certain question. Queue frustration and the dismissive "you're not getting it."

I get this a lot (relatively speaking), or I used to, especially when I was more active on places like reddit. Don't think I'm autistic, but it baffles me nonetheless. I mean, of course that a on-point and very focused discussion may be of value, in many cases it actually may be quite interesting, but imo the point of a internet forum (or of a general discussion, more largely speaking) is to try and reason exactly about these "holistic" approaches, no matter how bad or good the respective takes may be.

If it matters I find that people here on HN are a lot more open to that type of holistic/"let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture" discussions, without necessarily resorting to accusations of "you're not getting it" or "you're changing the subject" (which is partially true, of course).
Actually you are disagreeing with vehicle engineers.

Because every single connection is a failure point. Every screw, every clip and so on is a failure point.

A very reliable car would be cast in a single part. That would not be reparable.

If you want to make things reparable you need to make them in many parts that can be individually replaced. That means many failure points.

No it's not. Once a partial has been compiled into bytecode, Rails doesn't reach to disk anymore, it's all in memory.

Thank you so much for the suggestion.
I like this guy. The interviewer keeps on trying to take him off into softer areas and he just wants to dwell on math -good for him!
> Risk budget

How does a smaller risk budget reduce the chance of type I error? Also, a lot of care would have to be taken that all smaller studies are pre-registered as well as their outcomes.

> Unblinding

In practice, things happen that were not foreseen in the predefined analysis plan. Still, that solution may work provided that the statistical issues were solved correctly.

> speed of enrolment

Patient groups are often very selected, and almost all studies struggle to find sufficient participants. This leads to delay for many studies, and 1 in 10 studies are even prematurely stopped solely because they cannot find enough participants [1].

Is it possible that the gravitational discrepancies can be explained with dyson spheres? Or dyson spheres collected into grids (with a dyson sphere scale tech you can prob move suns by making the dyson sphere a giant fusion engine).

There is an advantage to arranging dyson spheres closer together in order to reduce latency between nodes.

If your dyson spheres were optimized enough, could absorb all known spectrums and recycle them. Wouldn’t that appear completely dark save for gravity?

I mean, isn’t it possible entire galaxies have been converted in this way? Seems like it could be a much simpler explanation within the confines of current understanding.

But I’m sure this has been thought about and accounted for.
The whole I/O is the bottleneck thing is the same as saying “memory is cheap”.
It’s true in a way, but that doesn’t mean we should all ignore it. It’s usually not a big problem, until it is.

I love Ruby, but I love crystal in terms of performance, except for compilation times.
Ah, I misunderstood that comment entirely. This makes more sense
The brushes seem better in Krita, and the pop-up palette is quite convenient when using a tablet. With layer styles supported now, I don't miss anything from Photoshop.
Exactly. The more you know, the more you realize that you can't do anything about, and thus less happy of course.
Unfortunately, that generation is going out with a bang. Car size and driving are correlated with wealth, which explains the average age of new car buyers, specifically the luxurious ones.

What people fail to realize is just how much alternatives have to win out on cars to make a dent. Being marginally less expensive isn't enough when opportunity costs are far higher.

Those alternatives can be much better. That's the real story hidden within The Netherlands: you can't make a half-hearted attempt and expect it to solve itself after because the world believes Utrecht, an already small city by global standards, is the status quo of the entire country. If it doesn't cut deep into car ownership nationwide, it's not the success people claim it is.

But aren't particles emergent property of space wave function collapse?
Ask HN: Thought Experiment about Gravitational Acceleration
Imagine a universe consisting of only two bodies: a super-massive black hole and a ball bearing.
This universe has no space expansion/inflation, space is static.
The ball bearing initial position is at rest at a location such that the gravitational attraction between the two bodies would generate an acceleration of 1 m/s^2 toward each other. No spin or rotational motion involved on either body.

1. How far away is the ball bearing from the super-massive black hole at t=0?
2. Will the ball bearing accelerate to near speed of light velocities before reaching the event horizon?
3. If it does, how does that affect the gravitational acceleration? Is there some sort of doppler effect for gravity if something is moving that fast?
4. What happens if it gets really close to the speed of light? Does it stop accelerating? What would it look or feel like from the bearings or black hole's frame of reference?

I had this thought stuck in my head and I don't know how to solve it, particularly the relativistic elements, any insight from more knowledgeable people would be appreciated.
Im not sure if the guy who declared "the end of history" in the 90s is really best poised to comment on this. The deep, societal rot that set this polarization in motion essentially kicked off shortly before he famously declared western civilization to be akin to perfection.

It seems pretty clear from this essay that he thinks that polarization is a surface level issue best dealt with by tweaking "how we talk to each other" across the political divide rather than addressing the underlying structural issues that indirectly trigger a deep level of anger and resentment like staggering wealth inequality.

Yeah and sometimes I go back to them just for nostalgia. But truly the archiving doesn't matter all that much. I like the Field Notes tagline: "I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now."

What does the startup do? What kind of things do you have to measure?

Or to put it another way, whats the criteria for success. More sales? Faster development, less downtime?
You misunderstand. I don’t care about Apple’s desire for lock-in at all. I want Google RCS to implement, and make mandatory, secured device identifier attestation. I want to be able to block the actual hardware devices that spam me through carrier messaging. RCS could have offered that, and doesn’t. What a shame.
Interesting, this income seems to imply there a gender difference in whether you know wealthy people. I wonder what might cause that.
The majority of stay-at-home partners happen to be women. There is something wrong with that.
Thank you for answering.

I very much relate.. I've been so bitter as to keep a small list of "told you so's" that I'd update when my rejected ideas were finally proven to be the better path (though it may have been months or even years after the fact (most agonizing when someone else suggested exactly the same thing, but explained it in other terms,focusing on things I didn't find central to the point).

In the end I deleted the file. Some of the "told you so's" were petty things anyway, and.. Now I try and take it as part of my responsibility to work a bit harder at finding arguments against my point of view, as well as work a bit more politically to get it through when I'm ready to put my head on the line that I'm right and everyone else are wrong.

P.S. I'm closing in on the big 4-o and I'm still working on myself, still trying to learn politics, how to talk with nontechnical superiors and how to accept that sometimes, we go with the wrong solution because someone else tells so.

curl-impersonate[1] is a curl fork that I maintain and which lets you fetch sites while impersonating a browser. Unfortunately, the practice of TLS and HTTP fingerprinting of web clients has become extremely common in the past ~1 year, which means a regular curl request will often return some JS challenge and not the real content. curl-impersonate helps with that.

You are conflating the judicial system with enforcement authorities.

Judges very often do reject charges and procedures brought to them by the enforcement authorities. This separation of power is evident if you ever sit in on proceedings (many courts allow and encourage the public to sit and watch).

Enforcement authority is executive branch and answerable to the elected officials. If you don't like asset forfeiture - ask the mayor why he allows it. You may discover that your fellow residents don't agree with you.

Judicial review panels are what judges endure in their tenure where panels of judges review how frequently their rulings are overturned in appeal. The rationale of their rulings are disputed and their tenure as a judge can be removed if they're found to intentionally skirt the law by their peers.

This is how the system works. Do you have specific suggestions to make it better, or are you just advocating we burn everything down?
I wonder how many move to lesser paying roles, e.g. game dev, seed stage startups, utilities, etc.
That’s what I think is happening indeed, and I’m almost never the one shutting the conversation down. I didn’t go into “strategies” to address the issue in this article, mostly because I just don’t have enough experience to back it up, but I think recognizing that something is spiraling, saying “let’s continue in writing/retable this/i will try to understand your point of view” is something to try.

> 1. The allistic (non-autistic) person is not hearing what I'm saying.

> 2. I need to ask questions before forming an opinion.

I'm not considered as being on the spectrum (except when "everyone is on the spectrum" for inclusivity reasons of not alienating a socially inept person) and I've had an experience distinct with workers at big tech firms

when I offer a perspective they say I'm being defensive and impossible to help. I think I'm having a conversation, and they think I'm being defensive.

does anybody else have this experience? like, I'm presented with a unilateral view/criticism of something I did, and I'm still forming an opinion of it gathering more information and open to correcting myself or the perception, but any response is seen as defensiveness

given who this comes from, it makes me think that conversations within these firms go this way
Another thing though: If at least one of your constraints are speed, a dynamically language probably shouldn’t be your first choice. If you need to maintain memory safety, Java or Rust would be more applicable.

That being said, once you have a codebase written in a certain language, you might just be stuck there due to hired talent being familiar with it. I don’t think I’ve really seen a company pull off a polygot move cheaply. Instead, a parallel move to something like Crystal may require minimal re-training.

… just thoughts I would have if I were in charge of investing R&D time at a large org like the ones mentioned in the article.

Negative re: cinder blocks. In person, they're quite plainly larger than cinder blocks, and with a different texture as well. The absence of paint is also quite noticeable. As far as I recall, I'd long presumed it was stone of some sort. That alone is not particularly remarkable- stone buildings abound in the area, though not in that specific neighborhood- and absent this article I'd never have paid it any mind.
I cringed reading the article because of how much it reminded me of my younger self in my software engineering career 30 years ago.

For what it’s worth, I think your assessment and advice are both spot-on.

I know the original author is far into his career as well but I think especially as we get more senior that humility and valuing other’s perspectives become as important as the technology. Some of the biggest mistakes I’ve made in my career were from dismissing the ideas of peers.
Not being differentiable is going to break a lot of physics texts, I suppose (though the article was not specific about it).
