I’ll get to your question, but first…

> racing thought and elevated heart rate

This sounds an awful lot like either your dosage was too high or you’re one of the people with ADHD who doesn’t actually respond well to stimulants. Elevated heart rate/blood pressure is common and responsible doctors prescribing these drugs check it routinely, but racing thoughts is not a typical reaction at an appropriate dose.

Regarding other methods, one common but less formal thing that has helped me, and which I’ve seen benefit a lot of friends and others diagnosed later in life: developing and nurturing an awareness of the kinds of coping mechanisms that are already present, with close attention to which are helpful but could be developed further and to which are counterproductive or just neutral so they might be put aside.

For myself, I’ve realized that there’s a couple common threads through most of my helpful coping mechanisms. Foremost among them: keeping consistent routines is kind of a house of cards, but one which is much more resilient for me if I allow myself to be fairly rigid about them. Another: having a high degree of control over the sensory stimulation I’m exposed to, especially but not only sound, is one of my best defenses against cognitive overload.

These coping mechanisms vary by person but they often cluster around the kinds of problem areas that ADHD patients notice rather than the external problem areas that tend to lead to childhood diagnosis (or internalized self judgment reflecting real or perceived external judgment regardless of diagnosis age). As in, “why does ____ cause me to struggle and what’s been most effective when I do struggle?” tends to be a better starting point than “why can’t I just do ____ like normal people seem to do?” If nothing else, it gives you a chance to have self empathy and recognize that there are reasons and that you may already have a framework for those reasons, even if you haven’t noticed it yet.
In my experience the only Americans who use WhatsApp have family outside the US/Canada. There's a very large proportion of the population living entirely inside the Apple ecosystem.
(Pedantic nitpicking) You mean anti-SLAPP laws.

For others' curiosity: A SLAPP is Strategic lawsuit against public participation, a strategy for plaintiffs to silence opponents by way of burdening them with an onslaught of lawsuits and hoping they are scared away by potential legal costs of mounting a defense thereby resulting in them just giving up. The potential for this strategy to have chilling effects gave rise to anti-SLAPP laws.
> The way to address the real problems behind ergophobia is, counterintuitively, more energy. With enough cheap energy, we could literally pull excess carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and bury it again.

With cheap energy, we could literally pull excess carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen out of the air and make fats, carbohydrates and amino acids. No need for agricultural land.
Green bubbles are disgusting, to the point where you won’t be allowed to certain events or parties if you RSVP with a green bubble. You’ll just never get a response back, don’t even bother. It’s a way to gate keep. There is even an androidphobic slur for those who text in green bubbles, that I won’t repeat here. Ask your kids.
Was talking to someone at work and their kid didn't want a laptop because they were fine with doing papers on their phone. Blows my mind (and that of others) but I guess that's where we are.

Interesting situation. I never touched a PC until after college. But, yeah, there was at least a period where basic "computer literacy" was expected. Maybe things have shifted again.
This wasn't an action brought by the government. He wasn't sued by the SEC, the FTC, or the FCC. He was sued by the parents that he defamed repeatedly over years.
from someone who is not too long outside of high school and so maybe remembers this better:

imessage is specifically impactful because it doesn't exclude from individual communication as much as groups. you can still talk to your friends just fine but i remember being left off group texts because the experience is otherwise just so bad. can't add people can't react to stuff whatever.

what usually happens is there ends up being a second gc: 1 is ostensibly the "main one" with everyone in it and the unofficial second is with just blue bubbles. but communication usually ends up in the blue bubble one.

i will add it's not nearly so bad now, most people just do a snap gc but that wasn't the case e.g. 6 years ago.
My friends and I once argued about the primary reason top schools "produce" overachieving students. She thought that at least a part of it is from better staff and student to teacher ratio, whereas I argued that most of it is a self fulfilling prophecy. Families that cares most about education will sacrifice the most (time, money, opportunity cost) to get kids into elite schools, and those kids will work harder and devote more resources to test-prep.

This article states that failure-rate went from 8-9% to 25%, but I'm curious how that compares to the regional average. If say 35%-40% of 9th graders failed in surrounding regions, it would be an argument to keep the lottery based system.
Given that AMD shares are down more than 61% YTD (vs 52% for INTC), I'd say neither company is setting positive expectations for the future.

Unions might decrease lifetime earnings, while also killing off the industry entirely...

The solution they prescribe, "An Intervention to Reduce Job Insecurity:
Self-Affirmation", is rather scary. It's blaming the workers. Or getting them to delude themselves. This is a political position.

This has been a huge problem in the Rust Belt for years. People whose identity came from what they could do had it stripped from them. No solution seems in sight.
Fake job ads undermine credibility. If you feel you must advertise, post a generic Are You Our Next Rockstar? ad that is up-front about resume fishing.

Gotta wonder though, what thing X would you do with such a 'hero' if they appeared, and why aren't you doing X already, upskilling the people you have in the process?

This feels like a magical-thinking policy not a strategic one? If there's no clear goal for the continuous search, don't do it; it wastes everyone's time. If there is, advertise that job instead.

Good luck!

No, they don't. Also facebook seems to be still a big thing in the US. Really funny how the culture is different.

The only time I use SMS is for to receive codes for two factor authentication. Nobody ever receives an SMS from me.
As opposed to what? A communist system where it's run by spotless, selfless bureaucrats? Do you have an alternative to our capitalistic system that results in lower corruption?
Yeah that's what I do. But I'd be happy to pay an all inclusive subscription to Mozilla for a full set of web services and drop my subscription to google and mullvad. But they just don't offer a product I can buy.
Please be specific what public records requests you've done, and how they demonstrated that this whole event stinks to high heaven.

What records have you reviewed?
I own a Moto G Stylus 5G (256 GB) from 2021 that I paid $240 USD ($330 CAD) for on Amazon earlier this year.
I agree. Maybe in the donation drives, they should threaten ads if a target is not met. This might avoid this drastic step and surprise to users.
My take here is that if iMessage is truly a Better Tool, I'd be great if it was available on any computer that fulfills the hardware requirements to participate. For example, Apple could release an iMessage app for Android (and if they priced it fairly, this would still be cheaper than an iPhone, yet still turn them a profit). Or release specs so others can do so.

Do I think they should be or should feel obligated to do so? I'm not sure. I think society is having a debate about whether modern communication networks have "public infrastructure"-type characteristics and need to be regulated more in general, and this is probably also a question on that spectrum to a degree. Let's say I wouldn't be surprised if one day we come to the conclusion that the answer is yes and a larger functionality scope for what is considered basic interoperability is important to us, but there are also some good arguments against it.

Another angle to approach it from is the spectrum of arguments pro and con of bundling/unbundling of hardware and software/services (i.e. need-iPhone-to-iMessage). Governments which run environmental certification/badging schemes for example are increasingly expanding them to apply to software and considering or enacting rules that are decidedly against bundling with HW. The reason is that it tends to cause more frequent hardware replacements to stay compatible with SW/services and therefore a larger energy/carbon footprint - unbundling allows legacy HW to keep going longer on average. A project along these lines I was tangentially involved with myself was the research to expand Germany's "Blauer Engel" label to software.

What guides my thinking here is a bit overboard and flowery again, and also personal. As a software engineer and teenager myself I cut my teeth on making and maintaining one of the better-known IRC clients at the time; this was my first project that really had other users project part of their lives into it, hours at a time. For me it was quite powerful when I realized that I knew people who had met using my chat software and later gotten married and started families. It solidified my view of the engineer as a supportive toolmaker for others to better live their lives and build civilization. The modern day equivalent to the people who conceived of and made the flint tools others would use to start the fires to tell stories around. Comm tools being broadly available and interoperable and their social effects are stuff close to my heart, and stories of folks suffering from lack of access that isn't due to real technical barriers just aren't great, even knowing the complex economics driving the situation.
Adding to the answers already given (complexity related to the computation of full Hessians). First order methods, i.e., methods that only require gradients, are the methods of choice when extreme solution accuracy is not required, which is the case in many practical settings (including ML).

One of Newton's method major selling points is that once it's close to a local minimum, under the right smoothness assumptions it essentially converges faster and faster to an exact optimizer - in practice you get "one more correct significant digit each iteration" once you are close enough. It's called Newton's method region of quadratic convergence, see [0] Theorem 14.1, p.3

That and the implication that China is a poor country is pretty ridiculous at this point. Sure, there is poverty in China, but there is poverty in the west too.
I don't think the point is that they can't. Just far more unlikely to, and there's usually more recourse. Google is mega-corp who never listens to their users, and are un-contactable. Some AI can and probably will ban some people for no real reason and even Google won't know why it happened.

> it's silly and wrong to think that's a valid criticism

Knocks it out of consideration for me. Deploying these things zaps energy. I trust a start-up with that investment more than Google. Sure, with an SLA, I’d have assurances. But for the “let’s throw a couple in some offices and home offices and see if it works” threshold, it seems like a time waste.
And no wonder, as they correspond much closer to a Kahneman system 1 than system 2, where we do most of our math.

A couple of very intriguing points:

> Over time they were less likely to be aced, and were able to have longer rallies – and the human cells could rally for longer than the mice

> Prof Karl Friston from UCL: «Remarkably, the cultures learned how to make their world more predictable by acting upon it ... This is remarkable because you cannot teach this kind of self-organisation; simply because – unlike a pet – these mini brains have no sense of reward and punishment

Very interesting principle: no need for reward, just a drive to understanding - a call to adapting to some world, to know it in order to know how to deal with it.

In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2022.09.001

> Integrating neurons into digital systems may enable performance infeasible with silicon alone. Here, we develop DishBrain, a system that harnesses the inherent adaptive computation of neurons in a structured environment. In vitro neural networks from human or rodent origins are integrated with in silico computing via a high-density multielectrode array. Through electrophysiological stimulation and recording, cultures are embedded in a simulated game-world, mimicking the arcade game “Pong”. Applying implications from the theory of active inference via the free energy principle, we find apparent learning within five minutes of real-time gameplay not observed in control conditions. Further experiments demonstrate the importance of closed-loop structured feedback in eliciting learning over time. Cultures display the ability to self-organize activity in a goal-directed manner in response to sparse sensory information about the consequences of their actions, which we term synthetic biological intelligence. Future applications may provide further insights into the cellular correlates of intelligence
Signals position is moronic and if they go through with the change it basically leaves matrix as the only option. But matrix/element UI/UX is still not really ready for prime time.

Any theory that is explainable and hard to vary does not need probability.

Can you explain how probability is used in statistical mechanics in a way to contradict what I am saying?

P.S. Thanks for being a sport and talk about this in a truly respectful way.

If you want to understand where I am coming from, I can really recommend David Deutsch talk about probability here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfzSE4Hoxbc

It was a big awakening for me once I realized not only where probability theory came from (not physics) and how engrained it is in our thinking.

As far as I know the backup is encrypted.

> Are you not able to import these backups into the desktop client?

No, the desktop client is not standalone, and ONLY syncs with the a phone to get content. Moreover, if you don't use the client for a period (2-3 weeks in my experience?) it de-syncs that desktop client. Re-connecting that desktop to your phone will only sync messages starting as-of the connection, so there's no way to get the desktop app to pull your whole history. (This is another gripe I have about their sacrifice of actual usability for security that only helps a few very specific use-cases.)

You're probably rigth about hacking something together. Someone has created a library [0] allegedly for decoding the backup files. Friday night is D&D night though, so I haven't had the chance. :-)

It's absolutely not like that. Apple extracts profits in a lots of ways, including those which rely on gathering personal data.

> Internally, the Idris2 compiler uses deBruijn numbering for its terms, which is tricky to get right once you start trying to manipulate terms

I'm lost. Why does it use them; what does it get from doing so? Also if it's internal why would you as a language user (vs implementer) ever encounter them?
It’s not just a screen, it projects different images to your eyeballs to give the illusion of depth.
Still better than SMS/MMS. But apple can come up with a new standard if they want. Or... they can port the one they've already invented to android.
>The camera opens when I click the camera button

I've been a lifelong Android user but this problem is very real and has only gotten worse, and even with a brand new current-generation device it still takes 2-3+ seconds (sometimes up to 10 seconds like you mentioned) for the camera to open. Extremely infuriating. Does no higherups at Google use an Android phone and see this happening? Or maybe they just don't give a shit
Better still, if you're using Arduino, you just choose a different target processor from the pull-down menu, recompile, and off you go.

Of course I'm over-simplifying, but in fact, the portability of Arduino code across platforms has saved my bacon a few times during the chip shortage. There's always some overhead, such as changing a wiring harness, but it's better than being dead in the water.
That's not going to happen. It's much easier to open a model or sidesheet than use server side rendering. I imagine in future generations of frameworks and browsers, we will be able to do SPAs without the issues we currently see.
US is iPhone-land. iPhone users default to iMessage and "don't want another app", so SMS is still going strong, as it's only bridge between ecosystems.

Rest of the world is more diverse, so iPhone users don't get to force their default on everyone (as it's crappy if you don't have an iPhone). Also Google constantly fails to build vaiable, cross platform alternative. Therefore everyone is used to having a few apps.

Basically situation in US is what you get if you allow entire nation to be put in walled garden.

Also it's absurd, that instant messaging, that had zero meaningful innovation over last 20 years, still isn't over open protocol and we tolerate that's used by corporations to pressure customers into their ecosystems.
That is a camera problem in the Google Pixels, specially 3s and 4s. Never a thing in old Samsungs and Motorolas I had.
I've personally tried a prototype and it's actually pretty impressive. You get a fully-3D life-size person sitting across from you. The rendering is not 100% perfect, but it's close enough that you're not in any sort of uncanny valley. The main problem is that it's really a 1:1 thing.
> I don't have to work for several years

So what have you got to lose?
I have the opposite experience for what it's worth.
it's not "pressure to conform" it's that you will end up gradually pushed out of friend gcs especially. it's not always intentional but there is 100% a certain amount of social isolation that usually results.

(p.s. this is actually a bit better than it used to be, everyone's a lot more comfortable doing a snap gc because it has most of the same features and the UX isn't dogshit like a mixed gc vs imessage.)
I mean, Meta showed off some pretty convincing Codec avatars at Meta connect[0], but the challenge there is that it requires pretty beefy machines to run and complex precisely-positioned cameras.

> SMS conversations in iMessage lose features.

"Lose" makes it sound like they could be found. Are the features even possible to implement with SMS?
If iOS was properly supported on Linux, I'd use one.

But it's not.
I haven’t championed anything, I’ve stated a fact. There do exist family subsidies, there do exist laws that protect against discrimination. The principle that these should apply fairly is one that doesn’t always make it into law, legislators being the easily corrupted we know them to be, but in this case every business needs to comply.

On top of that fact I’ve given my own opinion - that I would be happy to employ women and that I believe a mixed workplace can outcompete ones wholly made up of men. Nowhere did I mention rebuilding the traditional family nor any other corollary.

I think you should stick to the arguments presented to you instead of inferring too much, much like the inference that because a guy might prefer working with other men that he’d prefer to work solely with other men. If you want to know my intentions it’s best you ask but I can tell you that they go as far as “I can outcompete you” and “I think you’re wrong” but no further.
Really why are you concerned about this age… you could die tomorrow go do what you want and stop worrying … thats my gut advice.

You forgot three very important points:

- Privacy. Apple didn't built their business on milking people's data unlike google and so many others.

- Security. Among many other factors the walled garden does provide a higher degree of security compared to Android.

- Performance. Not only iPhones completely destroy Android in terms of performance and optimisation but the fact they are so performant make them great long term purchases. Still rocking my iPhone X from 5 years ago and it's still buttery smooth.

The only thing worse than Godwin's Law on the internet is discussions of the first amendment. I've seen the exact same arguments and misunderstandings repeatedly.

It's a highly subtle right that does not mean what most people think it means. Trying to apply it in this case won't bring any value to your argument.
why is it only people that get desperate? why doesnt the companies, in these scenarios?

why do we always assume its the "slave-minded plebs" that blinks first?

if companies really are so greedy, surely they could see the benefit in paying more than they would prefer(which would naturally always be 0), and get to earn decent, rather than employees saying "too bad, wont work" and they get to earn nothing?

this kind of thing strikes me as very elitist, how can someone listening to the argument interpret it as anything other than "those regular working joes are so stupid they will just offer themselves up as slaves the second a company talks sternly or the price of food increases!!!!" ?

is it really that much to expect, that people individually take some responsibility, say no to conditions that are, by THEIR judgement, poor, and save up a decent enough buffer that they wont have to say "well it was a good run, im a slave now" the instant a company might not immediately cave to a demand or meet at a reasonable spot?
I’m not suggesting he can hide money. He gives up everything he has of bankruptcy date, and then starts fresh with a new company and the same followers and same advertisers paying him to lead those followers.
