Ironically, most of the largest companies in the world these days are pushing a left leaning agenda of higher regulation, and not really pushing back too much on taxation. Which seems odd, until you remember that higher regulation and taxation means that they're better able to keep out their competition, which means they have more of an ability to dictate exactly what people have available in the way of pay ranges. Sure, every few years at the local level that may mean minimum wage jumps by a dollar or two, but at this point, it's not even keeping pace with inflation; meanwhile, their earnings and C-suite executives are making more than ever before.

Perhaps it's time to actually look at the effects of liberal politics rather than simply the rhetoric.

And no, I'm not saying voting for the conservative side tends to offer much support, except for a few cases. At least in America, both sides seem pretty content to have oligopolies in most industries, as it's a lot easier to serve extra-judicial "requests" for customer information, or for measures to "fact check" or otherwise tailor the flow of information in ways that government isn't allowed to do directly.

By all means, vote, and look carefully at who you're voting for, but during the rest of the year, support your small businesses (including, if not especially, online companies), and find ways in your community to provide services that government and big companies are not providing without a whole net full of strings attached.
Funny how everybody here panics about 'the hell' of experimenting with human brains that could possibly grow consciousness. What about the actual hell we put animals through so that we can eat them? There are also studies suggesting that, for example, crows and other animals have some form of consciousness:

Because the kidneys are much more simple than the brain, diabetes is diagnosed with a blood sugar test.

In contrast, mental health diseases are generally diagnosed by talking to the patient, because there is little understanding of the underlying biology.

"I am not a medical professional, I have only taken some 300 and 400/grad level courses in psychology."

Do you believe your professors would agree that the mechanism of treating ADHD is the same as treating diabetes, or that the kidney is as complicated as the brain?

"I would suggest you look into the modern state of neurophysiology and neuropsychopharmacology. The "we don't understand" is not true anymore. "

Last time I "looked into it" did not result in a belief that we understand the brain.

I just "looked into it" for a minute or two, and here's an interesting APA article from 2012 where a professor of brain science and Nobel prize laureate is stated to believe the field is where cardiology was 100 years ago. I recommend reading it:

It's good to see that in recent years we have been talking more openly about more nuanced aspects of obesity than just calories in vs. calories out. I think that this reductive way of thinking (while practical to an extent) has stigmatised scientists who are looking beyond it. And it is a little bit sad to see that we have already had carbohydrate-insulin models for over a century but they are just now entering the public consciousness.

I hope we will see biotech or personalised medicine put the last hundred of years of research into practice soon and something a bit less rudimentary than calories in-calories out becomes practical for treating our obesity epidemic.
You dearly wish for storage to be expensive, just as you used to wish solar PV would be. But you were wrong then, and you are wrong now.
It doesn’t even have to be bluffing. Salary for a new position should be decided based on how much value you can bring to the position, and how much each party is willing to accept. Previous history is the most irrelevant part of the process.
p.s. for people who have a hard time understanding how an amphetamine can help someone with this type of condition.

Everyone is different, and most people experience a stimulant effect from amphetamines. I do not, my son does not, amphetamines significantly calm and slow us down. With the correct time delayed dosage, the world feels less “exciting” and things that were distractions or often stole my focus just become background noise. It’s not a feeling I particularly like, but the best thing I can compare it to is like a washing machine getting off balance and knocking around, sometimes you just need to slow it down and let it settle for a little bit.

Yeah, I'm impressed by all the enhancements like this that GrapheneOS put the work into. However I can't see myself using them because of their stance towards rooting. I strongly disagree that a user having full administrative access to their phone is something intolerable when it's accepted on a desktop or laptop. With Magisk I get a similar security barrier to sudo or UAC with biometric authentication to use su, and I can't really trust my phone unless I have full visibility. I understand their reasoning but the whole point of flashing a custom ROM is that I'm in control.

That being said, it's a shame that LOS doesn't borrow more from Graphene.

> I’m not commenting on over/under diagnosing of ADHD, I’m commenting on a condition that some individuals legitimately deal with. Some find themselves unable to focus on tasks, or get labeled the weird kid in their peer group because of behaviors they don’t even realize they’re doing.

I'm of the opinion that there's nothing wrong with that. I lean more towards the acceptance side of things. Humans are diverse in many ways. I don't believe we should be attempting to stifle that with drugs. Maybe there's value in your inability to sit still and flaws in the paradigm that asks you to?

>Medication that I’ve seen change my sons life at school, how he interacts with his peers, his ability to constructively participate in Boy Scouts, his ability to be more patient with his older sister and younger brother. He still struggles, the medication isn’t a panacea, but it has given him the ability to improve himself.

Is it not possible that your son would have developed these skills with age, without the aid of amphetamine? Kids are kids. They have a lot to learn. We shouldn't expect, or desire, every child to develop in the same ways at the same time. What would be left to celebrate? Normies don't change the world.

Yes, this is a belief held by a broader group of people, but I haven't booked up on it much myself. Some quick googles for "Quantum consciousness" and "consciousness as a fundamental field" brought up some of the arguments I remembered hearing about:

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind

[1] https://www.scienceandnonduality.com/video/consciousness-as-...

As I understand it, a common form of this framework is basically panpsychism, but more science-y and less metaphysics-y. Some people believe that consciousness may arise from a fundamental field in the universe just like how there's an electromagnetic field or a Higgs field. I vaguely remember hearing one theory that posits intelligent life forms are to the field of consciousness what photons/electrons are to the electromagnetic field — that is to say, spikes or clusters of energy in the field that stand out drastically against the background noise.
Not really sure why this amazing Celeron CPU does not caught on and become more popular due to its low power and high efficiency. Mind you these modern Celeron CPUs are as fast as early mobile versions of the first few generations of the Intel core i5 and i7. Heck it can even support up to 64 GB, more RAM than the advertised 16 GB RAM [1]. The high end versions of the Celeron officially can support more RAM up to 32GB [2].

I don't know what WiGLE users do with the data, but I read the WiGLE admins sold Wi-Fi location data to Microsoft to bootstrap Bing Maps back in the day: https://wigle.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=586

I helped bootstrap Mozilla's Location Service (MLS) to support geolocation on Firefox OS without Google Location Services. Mozilla even had its own Wi-Fi "wardriving/stumbling" app (MozStumbler https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler) and an opt-in stumbler in Firefox Android. But after Firefox OS was retired, Mozilla didn't have have a need for MLS. That said, Mozilla still runs a Wi-Fi geolocation service open to other projects (like GNOME's Geoclue service).

Mozilla also publishes cell tower location data and shares with the OpenCellID project. I worked with Mozilla's privacy and security teams to see if we could publish the Wi-Fi location data, but we didn't find a practical, privacy-preserving way to do that.

For more information about MLS (including a zoomable world map of the Wi-Fi location coverage), check out https://location.services.mozilla.com/

> We don't know what qualia are

Actually, no. This is the one part of the problem we are clear on.

Since this is an adequate excuse to give a lecture, here we go:

Suppose I say "I am fat", and suppose you say of me "he is fat". In both of these sentences, the same thing is meant - an observation of the physical world was made, and excess lipids were detected.
However, if I say "I am looking at a laptop", and you say "he is looking at a laptop", we don't mean the same thing.
You mean that a particular physical state has been observed, with my eyeballs and brain directed laptopwards. Whereas what I mean...

...well, what I certainly don't mean is that I see any eyeballs, or brain. I don't observe any process of looking at all. I just look. What I mean by "I am looking" is completely different to what you mean by "he is looking" even though the two statements are formally similar.

In other words, there are two wildly different, incommensurable uses of the word "am". One of them has a corresponding "is", one of them does not.

So, getting back to qualia, there simply are no qualia. There are qualia that am, but as noted above, that doesn't imply that there are qualia that are.

> I was expecting this, since it's probably the most common criticism of this type of visualization.
Problem is, that analysis only looks at half the dataviz fidelity coin. It recognizes the (unavoidable) loss of fidelity in size, but it ignores the (also unavoidable) loss of fidelity in time.

It’s a real time visualisation. There is no loss of fidelity in time.

Noticing the important distortion in size is legitimate. It’s not really a criticism by the way. It’s simply that the impression of fullness inherent to this visualisation is misleading. Space is obviously mostly empty.

> Instead, objects above ~800 km remain in Earth orbit for hundreds to thousands of years.[1]

And satellites bellow 600km are only there for a couple of years and those bellow 500km a year top. Let’s not forget that area scales with the square of radius.

> Mathematically this second inaccuracy tends to cancel out the first inaccuracy, therefore (presumably) making this "a lot more scary/impressive."

I’m guessing you mean we have to take into account the fact these objects orbit a long time when considering collisions but that’s a separate issue entirely. The two don’t cancel out at all mathematically in any meaningful way.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying debris are not an issue. The new deorbiting rules are definitely a good thing.
> Sorry to say, that is absolute bollocks.

Prove it. There is no scientific data that would establish a link between sugar intake and worsening symptoms of ADHD. Systematic review of ADHD-related studies[0] concluded that the current evidence is weak and that what's there may very well describe correlation instead of causation, or even inverse causation.

> Please provide some sources because your comment goes against all professional and scientific advice.

You're commenting under a website that's literally all about one of such sources[1]. I even quoted it in my previous comment already - that wasn't my idea, that was my reaction to actual scientific data that was, for some reason, being described as "surprising".

> the professional advice from my psychiatrist is to stay as far away from sugar as possible

As I've already noted earlier, it's a good advice - just not because consuming sugar makes ADHD worse.

> Personally, as a diagnosed ADHD sufferer, the lower the amount of carbs I ingest, the better my executive centre functions.

That's perfectly possible, for the same reason why stimulant-based treatment works for some people with ADHD and does the opposite for others, and also for multitude of other non-ADHD related reasons. This doesn't mean that what you're experiencing is in any way universal though, and my personal anecdata disagrees with your anecdata anyway.

What was holding back power storage was that it's largely unneeded when we're still burning fossil fuels.

No technological breakthroughs are needed for arbitrarily scalable power storage with good efficiency.

https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.4994054

"Insofar as the numbers I have presented in this paper are correct, they demonstrate that energy storage is a problem of 19th century science. No future laboratory breakthroughs or discoveries are required for solving it. All that is needed is fine engineering and assiduous attention to detail. Said poetically, this is 21st century rocket science.

Moreover, it is clear from Fig. 11 that the storage capacity of months becomes feasible once the engine (including the heat exchangers) exists as a product one can purchase at a known cost, particularly if the heat is further transferred into cheaper media for longer-term storage, such as rocks underground. Thus, pumped thermal storage with heat exchange is not a niche solution to the energy storage problem but a global one. This is the reason I think it will prevail."
The only way I found to get any useful ranking in Solr was to implement application-level scoring of the documents based on semantic considerations of their contents, and also of relationships between the documents. And even that was pretty bad. I concocted some dubious schemes to condition those scores on external info as well, but the project ended before I got to try any of that.

Yes that book described tf/idf and bm25 but a bunch of other stuff too that was somewhat more promising. Really though, IMHO there is no getting away from understanding the actual documents, and possibly their connection with the outer world (pagerank being an example of the latter). For web search it's now probably worse than before, since instead of merely being overwhelmed by noise, the data is now actually adverserial in the sense of having SEO trying to game your ranking.

Even without that though, go on any retail site and try a search. The relevance ranking will be so awful that sorting by price or age or alphabetically will work a lot better. Same thing with the Algolia search here on HN. Chronological is almost always more useful than the search engine's idea of relevance. For automating relevance the scoring system needs much more semantic understanding of the data. Maybe that is more feasible with recent advances in NLP. I don't know whether that is good or bad.

> Instead, the carbohydrate-insulin model lays much of the blame for the current obesity epidemic on modern dietary patterns characterized by excessive consumption of foods with a high glycemic load: in particular, processed, rapidly digestible carbohydrates. These foods cause hormonal responses that fundamentally change our metabolism, driving fat storage, weight gain, and obesity.

This conforms exactly with my experience over the last four decades. A low carb diet with a focus on low-glycemic carbs, while avoiding high-glycemic carbs (typically refined flours and sugars), is the way to keep from gaining weight.

With that diet, if you cut back on eating so that you are slightly hungry, you'll lose weight. And that's not too hard, because the fat intake sustains you between meals.

About the worst thing you can eat is corn chips and Coke, which is what a lot of people in the West consume all afternoon and evening.

Edit: Normally I eat a high protein, high fat diet and I can maintain my weight that way.

This evening, we went over to a friend's place to watch a film. The meal was a choice of pea soup with ham, "cheeseburger soup", and/or turkey chowder, plus rolls, pumpkin bread, and a delicious apple pie with ice cream. That's about the far opposite of my normal diet. We are just sitting here kind of bloated at this moment.

Careful with this. I was “self-medicating” my ADHD with exercise for years simply thinking I just liked exercise and not ever realizing that I had worked up to 25-30 hours a week just to function. Exercise absolutely does 100% work but meds that raise your baseline so you don’t have to exercise is a much healthier relationship with it.

There are a lot of habits that ADHD people fall into to “stim.” Whether or not it’s a healthy way of managing it is up to the person.
