Most objections of claims about mass sociogenic illnesses that I've seen have to do with people using it to dismiss behaviour they don't like, often without any real evidence that this is "mass sociogenic illness".

Even this article doesn't really make any attempt to disprove a null hypothesis and we basically are required to take these people at their word that a) the behaviour expressed is not consistent with Tourette's and the patients don't actually have it, and b) the source of this is due to the YouTuber mentioned. There's no control group or anything to prove these two facts beyond the author's opinion.
I bet the Samsung SoC's were a lot cheaper though as less sophisticated. Samsung -> TSMC got them away from a competitor, possibly cheaper (US -> Taiwan) and onto better roadmap.

This is quite different and possibly a further sign of Apple spending to diversify supply chains.

I suspect the real issue is often untreated diabetes or other cardiovascular stuff… that’s how they discovered viagara back in the day - they didn’t go into a lab intending to create an ED drug.
Also, bring these geniuses together in a space where they can experiment with expensive equipment. Call that space a "lab". And give them an office near that lab so they can work out new ideas.
I'm not sure what tech space your experience comes from, but this is ridiculous. Thes numbers are true to demonstrate*biocompatibility* but are 4 or 5 orders of magnitude smaller than what is required to show *functionality*, let alone to develop a new technology.

People complain about kids in a similar way to how they complain about their jobs. An unemployed observer might conclude that a career is inevitably hell on earth, but that wouldn't be the whole picture, even if everyone's work sucks some of the time and some people's work just sucks all the time.
From what I understand, it's hard to know exactly how non-drinkers are different (besides not drinking), but the nail in the coffin for the moderate drinking-endorsing studies which tried to correct for all the factors they could think of, was the rise of Mendelian randomization studies.

Some people have gene variants that interfere with alcohol digestion, effectively making hangovers come much faster and harder. Because these people drink less than other people for a well-understood reason, and are otherwise like everyone else (the gene variants are well mixed into the populations where they occur), it can be used as a causal wedge to pry apart the health contribution from alcohol from the contribution of basically anything else.

And when they did this, the supposed health benefits of alcohol, which were already smaller the more reasonable things you controlled for, vanished entirely.

You can look up meta studies of Mendelian randomization studies on alcohol use on Cochrane and so on of if you want to dig deeper into it.

There has been some pushback, trying to argue that if you don't assume the effect of alcohol to be linear (I.e, don't assume a normal dose-response relationship as you would by default on pretty much anything else), then there's too little data to tell. I don't buy that, as you can probably guess.

> your experience really reminds me of how friends have described ADHD to me

I can't speak to how often this happens for people without ADHD, but it is a very common trait for those with ADHD (and describes me rather well on most days).

For what it's worth, my interpretation was that they were criticizing you so much as elaborating/describing/explaining a different perspective on the same phenomenon you described (or at least, a similar phenomenon)... and then that turned into its own tangent. of a tangent of a tangent.

So, bringing these tangents all the way back to the OP: ADHD is hard, communication is hard--especially with people. Communication patterns are context sensitive. Toxic communities are easy, toxic communication patterns are easy, and establishing constructive communication patterns for a broad community of people is hard. Ruby's community tends to be mostly nice, although it's a lot less popular and energetic than it was 12 years ago. Ruby itself is marvelous--haters be damned--even when there's a little truth in the criticism. I think that its positive impact on the industry as a whole is hard to measure (almost every commonly used web framework before Rails, Rails, almost every commonly used web framework before Rails; and the languages like Rust and Elixir are hugely influenced by the idioms, ergonomics, and aesthetics of Ruby, IMO). And adding Data in ruby 3.2 is a great little building block and will probably replace 90% of my Struct usage. And I've been wondering if I should backport it, wait for all of my projects to hit 3.2+--I'm hoping there will be a good implementation in the "backports" gem soon--or just use one of the gems that will create an adapter layer over it (I'm sure one or more of the dry-* gems will be built on it, and I'm using them in a few places anyway).

So, I was going to type a six word reply ("yeah, this is a common ADHD trait.") and this accidentally got blurted out. So yeah. ADHD. ;)

> No credentials to speak of other than the fact that I could probably think my way out of an undergrad level abstract algebra or real analysis problem if cornered.

That seems like a rather bold claim to make. I don't think anyone could really do that without having studied those subjects deeply. Did you study mathematics at a University and just didn't complete a degree or are you completely self-taught ?
Laughing with somebody in a social setting also triggers a dopamine reward.

How will you define pornography? People are aroused by what’s forbidden- ban or strictly regulate say, nudity, they’ll eventually seek out crap like the Sears catalog with the same… energy.
I'm confused by your numbers - it's not 1,500 procedures, it's 1,500 animals, and we have quotes like " Reuters identified four experiments involving 86 pigs and two monkeys that were marred in recent years by human errors", so I have no idea where your 0.1% number comes from. Even just the 25 pigs that had the wrong implants installed brings that number up to greater than 1%.
The only counter-thought I’ve got is that maybe there are some things that aren’t necessary in lower density populations, like say streetlights at night.

But the bulk of the environmental impact of civilization seems like it is more efficient at density, though I suppose the negative effects may be more concentrated and visible (a few big trucks making deliveries rather than a huge number of small vehicles)
I'm not sure where they're getting the number but 23 minutes left according to https://www.twitch.tv/gremlinformayor
Agreed -- having a degree is important; having it from a prestigious/expensive university, for most people, is quite often much less so.

Obvious exceptions exist; we don't typically see presidential candidates who came from a community college. But most of the time, the degree is there more to show you could commit to a more self-directed educational experience than high school, and follow through with it while not usually under your parent's roof. Executive functioning, basically. Show some engagement in clubs, sports, or other activities for a bonus.

In many fields, if anything beyond this is expected, they want a graduate degree anyway, and this is where it can pay to splurge on the name, depending on your field.

Impossible Metals reveals successful proof of concept for seabed mining
(Impossible Metals’ first proof of concept, an autonomous underwater robot ‘Eureka 1’ has successfully identified and collected rocks, A world’s first for selective harvesting of seabed minerals.)

Collingwood ON, December 6, 2022, Today, Impossible Metals announces that its first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) called ‘Eureka 1’ has successfully completed its first trial of selectively harvesting rocks in an underwater environment.

“This shallow water milestone demonstrates progression of our principles of avoiding serious harm to the seabed by replacing dredging technology with an alternative that prevents biodiversity loss and large sediment plumes” said Oliver Gunasekara, CEO & Co-Founder.

This approach for collection of polymetallic nodules, rich in critical battery metals, requires three key enabling technologies to be invented by Impossible Metals: a buoyancy engine, an underwater fast robotic arm and a computer vision AI-driven system to detect nodules and marine life on the nodules.

“The success of this first proof of concept is a major milestone for the company toward demonstrating the technical feasibility of using an autonomous, AI driven system to hover above the seabed and selectively harvest nodules.” said Jason Gillham, CTO and Co-Founder.

Plans to have the technology ready for large scale deployment by 2026 will not only be a huge step forward for sustainable critical metals, but will also change the economics of critical rare metal resources - positively impacting global supply chains.
>Unless both parents come from a really dysfunctional family, this should never be the case.

Why? Many people immigrate away from their families for a variety of reasons other than them being “dysfunctional”. For example, economic opportunities.

I know a quite a few couples that moved from places with low economic opportunities to places with better opportunities, and one of the downsides is that they have to navigate parenting by themselves. It is a cost they are incurring to give their kids a higher probability of success when they grow up.
It’s different. I would say for most people the infant age is the toughest just because it’s physically tough which is not something most people in the modern world are used to. The rest is mainly just dealing with a moody person who is learning about the world and themselves and can be completely infuriating about half of the time.

> these lifelong genetic differences

I'm not aware of convincing evidence that bipolar and schizophrenia are of genetic origin (other than that schizophrenia sometimes runs in families). There are serious people that insist that they originate in childhood trauma. And since childhood trauma also sometimes runs in families, family histories of schizophrenia aren't that convincing either.
I would suggest to add some Train protection system (or even ETCS if you're motivated) on your Lego railway
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_protection_system

You can see that in some railway engineering firms.

There have been train protection systems for decades, to stop trains when something is unusual (over-speed, incapacitated driver, running a red light,...), when railways aren't fully automated yet.

You can also encode information next to the tracks, and pick it up with the train !
This kind of system was a prerequisite for high speed trains. Drivers can't read signs at cruise speed, so they are replicated on their dashboard.
A fun but edgy automation would be to encode cards against humanity near the tracks, and to randomly route the train, to generate text.
Sounds like that is correlated since semen and urine both pass through the prostate.
Is there a reason, why this technique is not used in the browsers to animate currently non-animatable properties?

I would state fewer named employees, not fewer employees as the people creating the infrastructure automation was still employees of you in both focus and impact, etc.

One problem is that the same argument applies to sex as well. Pornography is just the "junk food" version. But I don't think anyone would be ok with the government regulating what goes on in their bedroom (with consent, obviously) - nor should they be.
To be fair, the reaction is similar towards most of the other potentially addictive things also. People talk a lot about sugar addiction, video game addiction, porn addiction, etc. but few are willing to do anything about it other than tell the addicted people to get themselves straightened out.

To me it seems clear that we need some sort of regulation and/or cultural defence mechanisms against this stuff like we have for alcohol and drugs. What exactly it would look like, I don't know. Otherwise we are just going to entertain and eat ourselves to death.

They certainly would have been looted, if there were something to loot. But as noted, looters never cart out the trash. (Or, anyway, until recently, in order to feel more like legitimate archaeologists.)

Anybody can co-opt a spare pyramid and scribble it up. There is even an absurdly sparely applied term: usurpation. Usurping one of the Giza constructions would raise eyebrows, but the others could tempt, if in good shape.

Once one's immediate predecessor is securely dead, actually expending on a fancy interment is not strictly necessary, given nobody can see inside anyway. Lots of crypts were left comically incomplete, later. Even Menkaure's pyramid was not clad as specified.

Later they must have got the idea of having supporters demand to tour the crypt before it was sealed, to make sure things were actually done. You probably can determine which successions were ... unfriendly by how incomplete the funeral chores are.

It's bonkers to me that anyone thinks police activity reduces crime.

Look at the crime graphs, 1990 to now. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/2D7B/production/...

Firstly, we're in a very safe historical period. But right wingers try to freak everybody out as their latest wedge issue, no different from prior wedge issues, like scaring people over gay issues or trying to juice turnout by talking about abortion. (The latter recently backfired, of course, but was more effective for them in the past.)

It should be obvious from crime graphs that policing does not shape crime rates, it moves on larger trends that are harder to understand.

You should do some reading on how gender affirming therapy and treatment works, because it is absolutely not standard to pursue treatment immediately without any process or consultation.

Whether transition is the right option is absolutely explored, it's just explored in a way that allows the patient to come to a decision rather than a doctor making the gatekeeping whether this person is "really transgendered".

This is a straw man.

1. This is not a good faith representation of what trans people are arguing for; no one is saying that playing with dolls makes you trans.

2. Trans healthcare for kids does not involve surgery. Surgeries are not performed for people under the age of 18. Trans healthcare for kids largely involves letting them choose what clothes they wear, pronouns they use, perhaps changing their name. The most that might happen is that they take puberty blockers, a reversible and safe treatment.

3. I can see why people would be upset by your straw man, were it the reality, but trans people are not an abomination, and directing dehumanizing language towards a group of people who are frequently targeted for violence is profoundly not okay. It's been less than 3 weeks since a terrorist entered an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs and opened fire, and this has happened more times than anyone can count; don't contribute to this. And your straw man is just that.
Is ASML even going to be able to meet the demand created by all these fabs opening up across the US (and rest of the world)?

The stories I've heard about what it takes to build a single machine would suggest to me that scaling up would be a huge feat and I could only imagine take years to accomplish.

Then again, perhaps TSMC and their peers had predicted this kind of growth and already placed their orders long ago?

Objectively this is trivial to disprove.

I wish I could upvote comment by user "Meh" under the article.

This is not a problem. This is a brief hiccough that will literally evolve out in a generation or two. That "trend" is measurable in decades, against millions of years of history. And it's not universal, either.

We would be INCREDIBLY LUCKY if it lasted long enough to cut the human population in half, because we are likely already over long-term sustainable carrying capacity. In fact we might be over sustainable capacity at 4 billion. But we are very unlikely to get that lucky.

It's very fashionable right now to hand-wring over "population collapse", but it's dumb.
