My take on it is that if it's no more dangerous than the term "20+ MPH electrically-driven skateboard/unicycle hybrid" sounds, then it's perfectly fine to market it to adults.

That sounds kind of dangerous to me. If I was going to ride one, I'd be sure I was wearing a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads. I'd ride it in a very controlled space free of obstacles, uneven surfaces, and unpredictable road users until I mastered controlling it. I'd step up that safety gear a notch if I was attempting stunts.

Some people aren't that careful, but as long as they're injuring themselves rather than others, it does not strike me as grounds for a recall.

Edit: the wheel locking randomly or unpredictably certainly would be grounds for a recall, but the linked Youtube search doesn't show that, at least not without watching a couple hours of video.
Is that just an algorithm with defined ranges?

It has to use/learn data within a defined scope, so even with dozens of algos, they are all well within defined ranges of variables.

Still within reason to be called well written software that performs the tasks that it was designed to accomplish.
I had a teacher who insisted to my heterochromic classmate, looking him straight in the eyes, that it's not possible to have one brown eye and one half blue/half brown eye, because that's not how genetics work.

I don't understand why teachers are so often threatened by thoughtful children, but it's awfully sad.

Why have something that needs to be turned on and off? simply bury a miniature radiothermal source under your driveway and keep it toasty warm 24/7.

It might be a profoundly awful idea, but in terms of laziness it's completely passive, no needing to toggle a switch or similar to activate it. Not my area of expertise but I'd imagine if you design the system just right you could have a solid-state heat distribution system so no worries about water pumps breaking down.
> I think it is unequivocally not a benefit to almost anyone who has it.

I wouldn’t even be capable of overstating the damage done to my life by it. Inattentive form is a curse in my personal experience, but of course I am one person and not all have such bad experiences.

The mentality can be harmful, for some of us there are no strengths and no benefits provided to us, just years of suffering and bad outcomes. Makes me feel worse about myself personally, but I’m glad for those who haven’t had the same issues.
Back in like 2014 someone at Wells Fargo opened a new account for me without my permission. I noticed it almost immediately. Recently they got a huge fine for frequently doing things like this but I never saw a dime from that fine.

Agreed. To me this is just barely touching angry or adversarial. As a person, who was dropped by a medical practice for threatening with a lawsuit and eventually dropping the f bomb after rather exhausting months of non-activity, that was just that: exasperated.

Google clearly has an issue. The issue is not mainstream, but the moment this hits a bigger name and its community notices, I am sadly certain there will be some adjustment. I do not get why it is only publicly shaming companies work well these days.

I understand that getting the right party is important, but in the article it seems like you can't even seem to get to the right person, because:

1. there is no real person talking to you
2. the person talking to you can ignore you and say buh-bye

On the flip side, I’ve had things like:

// in case this is malformed, fix formatting so it will still parse
input = fixInputFormatting(input);

and had a code reviewer ask, “why are you calling fixInputFormatting”?

Nothing to raise the blood pressure like a code review question that is literally answered by a comment on the line immediately preceding where they left the question.

Do you recognize that there is a distinction between enforcement, and being told "using this particular form of speech is harmful to certain people - if you continue choosing to use it, you are choosing to present yourself as someone who values your own speech over someone else's comfort, and will be judged accordingly"? If so, then we're in broad agreement (though we may disagree about where the line between social judgement and enforcement lies)
Why not both? A comment may be terribly misleading but they explain the programmers logic to a certain function. Always handy to know.

Each segment of code should have a diagram, a flow model, psuedo code, and comments. More the better.
the article mentioned possible clawbacks, so that one thing. However I don't know if clawbacks will be limited to unspent funds or have the possibility to demand back funds that were already spent.

Another possibility--and I have no idea if this might be the case here--most of the grants here where I work use "drawdowns." Specifically the granting agency awards a grant of $X for whatever you said you were going to do with it in the grant application, but they don't actually give you any money. So you start spending money on the project, and carefully accounting it, and usually every month you sum up everything spent, and issue a drawdown request for the funds spent. The granting agency then cuts you a check and you mark those expenses as reimbursed. This means that if the grnating agency goes belly up, there is a possibility you could be out real funds that you spent and are expecting a reimbursal.

False dichotomy....
After being at many successful and unsuccessful companies there's definitely different vibe, on one side you as an individual are allowed creative freedom to design+deliver a large project... on the other theres a lot of fear blame, time sunk into these "core" projects eg going mobile or video First or changing Clouds or cost cutting.. they often turn out to be illconsidered wastes of time, the pretence for war is a poor excuse for this lizard brain/ groupthink/ just doing what said manager likes to do

I was in Montessori from pre-school through grade 6, and then transitioned into a traditional private prep school for grade 7 through 12. Honestly, it wasn't that bad of a transition, even though I had to completely relearn what school was supposed to be.

My Montessori school day by grade 6 was a lot of unstructured time, often outdoors, sometimes doing math in the bathroom because that's where it was quiet, very often project based learning with other kids rather than the teacher. Never any "homework" assigned, but often doing school work at home because I wanted to keep working on something.

My prep school was eight periods a day, sitting in desks, learning whatever the day's lesson plan was, getting fixed breaks for lunch and recess, and getting several hours of homework assigned a day.

The two environments were very different. But I adjusted and moved on. The biggest annoyance I had with the prep school was that they controlled my movements so much. In 6th grade, we'd leave the school and go down to the center of town for lunch, getting something at the sub shop or eating our bagged lunch by the town's waterfalls, and returning to school on our own when it was time. In 7th grade, I needed a hall pass to even be out of the classroom during a period, and would definitely get suspended if I left campus during the day.

But from most of the local Montessori schools I toured when I was looking for my son, the freedom we had at my Montessori school in the early 1980's seems to be very much more restricted these days, simply because the larger culture doesn't allow it any longer. The one that actually offered the most freedom for the kids was still the school that I had gone to. But I live too far away from it now for it to have been a real choice.

As it turns out, my son failed spectacularly at his Montessori school because of some learning disabilities he has that they were unable to handle, and he actually is much more happy now in a more traditional school which helped him overcome his disabilities and be successful (not specifically because they are more traditional, but because they are a school well-versed in handling learning disabilities).

> Yes it can make you more reckless and impulsive to take risks like founding a company, but it's important to keep in mind that ADHD is a serious cognitive disability, and we should treat it as that. There is so much it messes with on a daily basis and it absolutely sucks.

I think the r/ADHD approach on Reddit nails it: even if it did have benefits for you, please don't refer to it as a superpower because there's a lot of people who will feel even worse about their own experience of the disability when you do that.

And, yeah, for me it's been very much a double-edged sword. I started a consulting company while in grad school; it was awesome for my (undiagnosed at the time) ADHD brain: new projects every couple of months! Learn something new every time! Hell, I went to grad school very likely because of ADHD; I couldn't handle the stale "every day is more of the same" feeling I had in the regular working world. I went to study a hard problem, but about 16 months after I started really digging into it, commercial solutions started appearing that essentially did the same thing I was researching... I lost interest quickly, especially when all of the research was done and writing and editing my thesis was all that was left.

I've worked on so many wildly varied projects over the years. I've got an EE/CS dual degree, and I've been down at the schematic and PCB design level and up at the web & mobile app level. I'm just as comfortable writing Verilog as I am writing React code. Deep GNSS work and software-defined radio, 2D high resolution imaging, 3D depth field imaging, audio processing, ultra-low-power sensors, level-sensing in 80,000L fuel tanks using a clever pressure-sensing approach, drone flight planning and control algorithms, yadda yadda yadda. And all of those different things all are related to each other in some tangential ways that I pick up on right away while others just scratch their heads.

On the other hand, I lose things all the time, forget to pay bills for months, lose touch with people I care about, struggled for years and years to maintain a romantic relationship, forget my bag in the car and forget to lock it (that was an expensive mistake). I've spent a ton of money starting new hobbies only to lose interest. I have a multi-year backlog of projects I've started but not finished. My house is a disaster. I'm almost 40 and have almost nothing saved up for retirement.

I got lucky and made it through undergrad and a masters program. Hell, I got lucky and made it through high school... if my teachers had followed their own rules to the letter I probably wouldn't have, but they saw "my spark" and made enough concessions that I ended up, just barely, on the honour roll instead of failing out.

I had no insight into any of this being related to a disability until last year.
Sure, but based on your previous comments and overall stance on the matter, don't be surprised when most people have the opinion I expressed about your question.

Can you give some details on the good parts?

To me it sounds like one of those ADHD self-management guru talks that try to apply something generic to an issue that's very personal and individual. Some solution that gets ADHD folks interested, hyperfocus on it as the next productivity solution, just to lose interest after 2-3 weeks and forget to cancel.

I want to believe that I understand my ADHD better than anyone else, and my warnings signals go off when I see things like that, because I can absolutely see myself getting hooked on a new productivity paradigm for a short while

I’m imagining the poster is thinking about things like rust doctests where code in the comments will be executed as tests when you run cargo test on the project. It’s a nice way of being able to ensure that (at least part of) the documentation will correspond to the behavior of the code.
I very much relate to this. Sometimes challenging and complicated problems come apart easily. Sometimes you waste a week procrastinating something simple. Unfortunately my procrastination has been rewarded so many times. Of you've got a change in scope for the thing I haven't even started yet? No problem! Oh, our priorities have changed and we no longer need that thing? Fantastic! Most recently, I was supposed to be planning a vacation with another family. I procrastinated it long enough that circumstances changed and the other family had to cancel for unrelated reasons. That can be even more frustrating because I know it's just reinforcing those bad behaviors.
The foundation releases profiles.

For example, the RVA22S64 means it's a 64-bit application processor with supervisor mode complying with the 2022 recommendations. It has a bunch of specific requirements about RAM layout, cache instructions, being little-endian, and so on all specified so code is portable. Likewise M (mul/div), A (atomics) F (32-bit float), D (64-bit float), C (16-bit instructions), and some misc bit manipulation and other instructions MUST be implemented.

At the same time, it specifies optional extensions like V (vector), Zfh (16-bit floats), scalar crypto, H (hypervisor), and some optional supervisor stuff.

If you want to claim to be a RISC-V chip, you MUST implement the specs exactly (else be infringing on their trademark).

If you want to enter the desktop ecosystem that is being started, you'd better support the extensions they specify in RVA22S64 (or newer standards) otherwise people aren't going to buy your chip. You can implement proprietary stuff provided it doesn't conflict with the standard, but normal software isn't going to use those features, so you are probably just wasting transistors.

All the work on unifying stuff like UEFI is because the companies involved are serious about a compatible standard moving forward. It's in all the biggest player's best interests to stick to the spec which is all that matters for end users as it guarantees a consistent experience.

I suspect a regular bike would also have a hard time (my car shakes like crazy going over that spot), but the e-bike has much smaller wheels (about half the size of a bike), and that made it much much worse.

In my city they rent out these scooters with tiny wheels and people are only allowed to use them on the road. Those ripples are at the bottom of a nice downhill, and if anyone were to hit them on the scooter they'd probably go flying. I just fell hard.

So you've listed houses, cars, watches, food. All these things indeed serve a purpose as well as allow for creativity and expression.

But the difference is, all those things have sale values that DIFFER based on that creativity and beauty. Code does not. My customer does not care if my backend code is beautiful, and neither does my CEO because it won't make more money.

> Is a dish or menu designed by a chef not art? Is a house designed by an architect not art?

Of course I see the art in those things, and in response i'll pay a lot more for a Frank Lloyd Wright than a mcmansion. But the customer of my B2B CRUD app does not care if my code looks like a FLW or a mcmansion. They care if it works.

Looking at the solar generation LCoE alone, you're correct. The numbers I found for battery LCoE are all over the place, which makes it hard to judge. Assuming $100/kWh and a cycle life of 1000 (close to existing batteries), battery LCoE is high enough to justify nuclear-to-hydrogen. With longer cycle life, which has gone up to 10,000 cycles at lab-scale, that number comes down substantially. Assuming technology improvements, of course, would also have to be applied to nuclear.

I was originally interested in thermochemical hydrogen for a solar concentrator source, but a lot of current research seems to focus on nuclear because the thermal energy input is more stable, with an outlook towards solar as the technology is worked out.
Please, if you have an "artificial intelligence" that can write and understand code, I'm sure it can fix some tiny bugs in a little code that wasn't in the training set.

Why is this so contentious?

Surely the "AI" can withstand a little scrutiny.
Heh, your 3rd link must have OCR-ed a PDF or something because "(A3T[A-Z0-9]" is for sure wrong; I'm guessing they meant "ABIA" and then the 4th link must have copied from #3 (based on the commit date) because it makes the same mistake
I think the punchline is that they can be "quiet and focused" when they take Methylphenidate and social/reckless/fun when they don't.

That was the problem for me before I was diagnosed and medicated. I wanted so badly to be able to be quite and focused, but it was practically impossible to do it through will. Sometimes I would get lucky and something would catch my interest (hyperfocus), but most of the time I was all over the damned place.
Wow, excited what this will mean for interfaces in the future.
Even a cartel would be easier to deal with. Google could then say "your Play Store Certified Compliance Specialist can tell you what's wrong".

It seems more likely that what's going on here is the issue was flagged by a bot which doesn't tell the human reviewer why it thinks there's a problem, and the reviewer believes they will be in more trouble if they make a mistake in overruling the bot than if they make a mistake in agreeing with it.
At least with version control its feasible to track the original comment/code and understand intent. Although, I doubt an AI is able to do this yet.
hahah trying hard, we really love what we're building and want a lot of people to know about it :) it was a totally different product 4 mos ago and we used that feedback to make it massively better

as for who is this for, we obviously didn't make it clear. Our goal is to help folks become rich by choosing the right fast-growing startup to work for. that's why we think people would want to pay, and this is what we can do 10x better than anyone else.

ie, if you asked me right now which startup you should join to make tons of money in a few years, I would tell you the top 5 right ones for you. We want to productize that.
The US Mil-Spec design/procurement/production is larded with pork at all levels. The good aspect is greater reliability - we have seen how badly some Russian stuff is made. The Mil-spec process had it's start with discrete components back in the day. I can recall cases where 1K 1/4W film resistors were tested one at a time, and each one x-rayed. Each one had a cost of over $10. Production and quality have advanced greatly so that now you can buy them for a cent each at Radio Shack types of shops with a reliability on the order of one failure in 10 million.
At the same time we have progressed to sub-miniature IC's and surface mount tech so that when coupled with automatic testers with use of heat soaked assemblies that the main cost factor is the small runs of a few thousand assemblies where the parts cost is minimal compared to the cost of design/assemble/test - which can be 100 times the cost of the parts used in that production run.
Japan faced this and produced VCR's that ran the USA/ROW out of competitive hopes = we make few, if any of these. Now the Russian stuff is crappy by comparison but they are able to make a lot of it. Ukraine is fortunate that Russians steal everything not nailed and sell it. Their officers allow this because they get parts of the take. The officers also sign off and approve soldier training courses - that the soldiers did not take or pass - they paid the officers who happily reported up the chain - 'We have a good army'. In fact Diesel engines, wiring harnesses, optics, copper etc had all been stripped from 5000 tanks in storage = so much scrap iron. It also explains why the Russian army was so easily defeated in Ukraine. Chinese tires failed after 200 miles = scrap iron.

The US way is better, but needs cost and production method assessment and cost optimisation.
For a good analysis of the Russian system watch this - it is an eye opener on how 500 Billion US$ equivalents was wasted on yachts and corruption in Russia. Does the US Mil-spec have similar horror stories / $1000 toilet seats come to mind.
