No. Full personal potential. Skills and interests they should have developed. Friends they should have made. Trips and experiences they should have had. Things they would never have consciously traded in for getting high, were it presented to them as a stark choice.
Because if you have a 15% minority X, and you need to include it in an ad to appear "inclusive", then unless your ad has 9-10 people in it of which X is just one person in the ad, X would be over-represented.

So, if the average ad has 3 main actors/models max, and there is a 15% minority X, then even including just a single actor/model of X in your ad, X would be over-represented as 33% (a whooping over 200% over its actual share).

It's not a big conspiracy, just math. If the minority has a 40% share (compared to a single 60% majority) then it would be much easier to not over-represent it.
Thank you for explaining to me what I expect and think. It's much clearer to me now.
Quite a similar experience to me. After a change of meds I had a bought of intense disphoria and anxiety which I (perhaps falsely) attributed to the meds after 9 years of use and misuse (insufflation etc). I stopped cold turkey until my special authorization expired and haven't used them since. It is a relief in some ways that my overall as methylphenidate is quite hard on the heart and addictive, so it got me through the quitting phase. I've found other ways to get by with my ADHD; diet, sleep, caffeine, environment etc. Its possible the meds had already helped to establish the patterns of concentration too.
“The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory experiment shows that scientists can get more energy out than put in by the laser itself. This is great progress indeed, but still more is needed: first we need to get much more out that is put in so to account for losses in generating the laser light etc (although the technology for creating efficient lasers has also leapt forward in recent years). Secondly, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory could in principle produce this sort of result about once a day – a fusion power plant would need to do it ten times per second. However, the important takeaway point is that the basic science is now clearly well understood, and this should spur further investment. It is encouraging to see that the private sector is starting to wake up to the possibilities, although still long term, of these important emerging technologies.”

I am having this issue at work, and have throughout my career, come to think of it.

Give me a challenge, AND all the tools to conquer it, and I can get it done. Give me a lab environment with the servers and scripting tools I need to automate something, and I'll put it all together.

Hamstring me by not giving me the tools I need, make the barrier to accomplishment too much, or give me really boring work without some kind of clear path, and I lock up.

I can play Factorio for 12 hours a day when I get my yearly mood for it. When I am assigned a cool automation task with the tools available to BUILD it, I can run with it. Too bad my current job, a multi-billion dollar software company, can't spare me a few VM licenses without me jumping through hoops.

Oh, and Adderall can help, but it makes me so anxious and even more impulsive once I'm done with work.
> Millions of people worked towards peace, peacekeepers, activists, anti-war protesters, diplomats, lawyers, soldiers, etc. Many have laid down their lives.

This is idealism. It just so happens that resources are much more efficiently acquired through more peaceful means in this age.

If the incentives were in the opposite direction, those lives would have all been wasted. People don’t seem to realize how unprecedented this era of global peace is.

Most of the population is fed news from the extremely wealthy who benefit from these peace oriented policies. It really doesn’t take that much to take a population from benevolence to militarist nationalism.
So much of this is familiar, the timeliness, forgetfulness, the blurting things out, but especially that feeling of "FFS, why can't I do these things like everyone else, I suck".

I was incredibly lucky, once I got into software dev, that my untreated ADHD often manifested in hyperfocus, so I could deliver large amounts of business value in bursts, that meant my other foibles were tolerable.

Of course, my spending 20 hours of a day hacking on something for a week was very hard on my family, but at least I stay employed.

I much prefer being medicated. The symptoms are still there, but manageable. I still need lists to ensure I don't forget things, but at least with medication I a) remember I have a list and b) remember to use it.

So many times previously, people would say "Just write a list, how hard is that?"

It was quite hard.
Hi Adam! I really enjoy listening to your podcast, but if I may I have some feedback:

* Every time your guest specializes on something low-level - like Rebecca Heineman from most recent
episode, David Shayer from last year, and others - you keep saying "yeah, this is a very complicated
subject and I don't understand anything about it". Everyone has they own area of expertise, no one
knows everything - and that's OK. But when you as a host constantly put yourself down, it leaves
a very strange impression on the listener: "well then, invite someone who does".

* When you do a voice over for the interview and queue interviewee responses - the whole sequence feels
doctored. It just doesn't sound as a normal conversation, more like out of context clips forced into
pre-made narrative. Again, I'm not saying it _is_ out of context, it just feels that way.

Please don't take these two the wrong way, you're doing great job.

Also, I would love to support the show and you seem to have a Patreon account, but prices there
are a bit too steep for a casual listener: $6/14.50/36 per month (that's in Canadian dollars).
For example, semi-weekly Darknet Diaries has $3/7.50/14.50 tiers.

In the last episode you've announced bonus content with Rebecca, but there's not even an announcement
on the Patreon page and it's not clear what tier would allow access to it.

Sorry for the rant, but I hope it provides outside perspective and you might find it useful.

It says the majority of the plays are likely written by the same person, since Shakespeare have a distinct "voice" which is clearly different form other contemporary playwrights. But there is a number of pitfalls in the statistical approach because an author might try to mimic the writing style of another author, especially since these collaborations was somewhat like master-apprentice relationships. The Oxford Complete Shakespeare credits Marlowe as co-author of Henry VI part 1, but this is highly controversial since some believe Shakespeare was just strongly inspired by Marlowe in his early plays.

Here is a podcast with a bit a bout the controversy: https://www.folger.edu/shakespeare-unlimited/christopher-mar...

As for the general authorship question, you can just read anything which isn't written by a crackpot. But Oxford has "William Shakespeare - A Very Short Introduction" which is a pocket-size introduction and biography. If you want something meatier, Marjorie Garbers "Shakespeare After All" is a great book.

> You can nationalize the infrastructure without nationalizing the operations upon it.

That was the intention of my post.
Change my view: given any data storage medium, the smallest granularity of data must also be the most-child element of any markup language. Given the immense overhead of storing markups on a granular level, processing markup therefore must be a perpetual exercise in recursion.

I.e.

Poem->Verse->Line-> <char>

Book->Page->Chapter->Paragraph->Sentence->Word-> <char>

HTML->Body->Div->P-> <char>

Therefore, any given letter (here as a <char> type) can retain a back reference of parents, so the <char> object retains a hashset of {Line,Word,P} parent type references representing three domains, but really needs to be a Dictionary of key values, the key being the domain name, the value being the parent name, so that would be:

Domain: Poetry, Value: Line

Domain: Book Object Model, Value: Word

Domain: HTML, Value: P Element

We could then ask any letter arbitrarily "what is your Font Style in your HTML context?" and it would be able to walk up the parent P which obtains its style from a CSS markup, and return that correctly. Or "What is your Poem's name in your Poetry context?" and it could recurse up to the Poem element to find it's Title.
Your definition differs from the results offered as evidenced by your examples differing from other examples: i.e. of The Big Five[1] you picked on only the smallest, not even focusing on journalisitic enterprises because one of the larger organizations literally called "News Corp" didn't have a single of its publications make your list of news outlets. Curious.

He signed some of the paperwork I guess. But more critically, he subsequently lied about it.
In general, I agree. It surprises me that it's possible to follow Musk's whereabouts in this way, and I'd be uncomfortable if someone did this to me. That said, I think there are some mitigating factors here.

Firstly, the account doesn't track Musk himself, it tracks his private jet. If Musk wanted to, he could avoid the issue completely by chartering planes or just (heaven forbid!) flying in conventional airlines. Musk is explicitly making a convenience-privacy trade-off here.

Secondly, I think we do Musk a disservice by pretending that he is an ordinary person like me or you. He is, depending on your accounting, the world's richest person, which obviously affords him incredible luxury that we should bit begrudge, but it also means that he is one of the most influential people in the world. Bear in mind that he has recently bought one of the biggest media platforms in the world.

The problem with this is a principle of democracy is that power requires scrutiny. That's why we usually have a good idea of where our leaders are at any particular time - this obviously makes their lives difficult, but if we are going to hand power over to our presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors, then we should also demand accountability from them. But for Elon Musk, whose power comes solely from his wealth, there is no clear accountability. We have no right to know his whereabouts, or what he's doing with his money, or who he's being influenced by (and who he's influencing). His power is essentially unchecked (at least in the democratic sense) and limited only by the market.

So from that perspective, it seems very sensible and practically democratic to keep track of such powerful people.
There are so many odd edge cases in HTML, a good one I found was with forms. If you open a <form> but don't have a closing tag, the browser will close the form block "visually" at the end of the forms immediate parent, as you would expect. All styles are applied to it, or children via selectors, up to that automatically inserted end point. It's how browsers handles most unclosed block tags.

However, the forms "functionality" isn't closed at that point, any inputs further down the page (outside of the forms DOM tree) are included in the post/get when the form is submitted. Or at least until another form is found in the DOM. Effectively an unclosed form is two things, a visual block that is closed automatically, and an "overlapping" form capturing inputs indefinitely.
My interest was piqued when you mentioned cuts would heal faster. Is there a video that explains what life would be like if the earth had higher concentrations of oxygen? (30,50,70)?

Private SaaS, a New Paradigm
There's a theory that his "gee shucks I'm so cute and dumb" thing is an act. He's portraying a character. No one is dumb enough to talk so much to so many news outlets after losing so much money.
The other moat was supposed to be Full Self Driving. Trouble is, it's been "coming soon" for a while now and a cruise control system that's a bit more ambitious and risky than other OEMs' isn't nearly as obviously a moat, and a class action lawsuit from the people that paid for the promise doesn't help matters. Even if you're bullish on Level 4 robotaxis within the near future, Tesla doesn't look like the most likely winner of that market.
If you're building a marketplace, your SaaS offerings are more limited because the functionality diverges from B2C Retail... as you've probably (re)discovered, content moderation and approval for catalog information from your third-party sellers is crucial[0] and you'll need to solve interesting problems in promoting and suppressing search results when the business asks you to support paid partnerships with some third-party sellers as "official resellers" or sponsored listings.

Right now Mirakl is the big incumbent in marketplace APIs, but whether that's the right answer will depend on your company's scale, technical capabilities, and margins.

[0] I keep a folder of examples of unmoderated third-party seller content embarrassing large companies running marketplaces, this one is my go-to example: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ashli-babb...
But in a more abstract code example where you don't have good context for what is happening, this similar behavior could be very helpful.
My intention was to nationalize the rails; the current operators can still do so as private businesses but they now have to share with other operators (including passengers).

From https://grapheneos.org/faq:
"Connecting to your carrier's network inherently depends on you identifying yourself to it and anyone able to obtain administrative access. Activating airplane mode will fully disable the cellular radio transmit and receive capabilities, which will prevent your phone from being reached from the cellular network and stop your carrier (and anyone impersonating them to you) from tracking the device via the cellular radio. The baseband implements other functionality such as Wi-Fi and GPS functionality, but each of these components is separately sandboxed on the baseband and independent of each other. Enabling airplane mode disables the cellular radio, but Wi-Fi can be re-enabled and used without activating the cellular radio again. This allows using the device as a Wi-Fi only device."

When I am at home, I am WIFI only. When I am out, WIFI & bluetooth are off. This takes some discipline at first but then just becomes habit. I know the spot on my commute home where I switch my settings.
To try and explain some of the bullet points, because the common sentiment here seems to be that he's speaking an alien language.

Terrance is providing a list of things where if "you already know a fact" about a problem or function, then you can take shortcuts based on that fact.

So for example, he mentions:

> Reflection symmetry -> suffices to test odd and even functions separately.

This means that if you know that there is a "mirror image" in the function around the origin, then you can use this fact. The definition of mirror symmetry is:

A function f(x) is even if f(-x) = f(x).
The function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x)

That's quite a strong statement! You can use this to simplify proofs, eliminate cases, etc...

Even if you don't know if the mirror symmetry is odd or even, this doesn't really matter because it's just two scenarios! Just check both and you're done.

Not only did I have ADHD for the first 38 years of my life without being diagnosed, I also had sleep apnea without being diagnosed until around the same time. The challenges from both of these multiply each other. Think oversleeping, late to meetings, difficulty staying organized and focused, being irresistibly attracted to the interesting and hard problems but not the necessary and boring ones.

I tested high-IQ, I did amazing in secondary school, but college and the workforce have been rough. I don't usually stay at a job for more than 2-4 years before the executive functioning problems accumulate to a degree that results in termination, and I've been negative on myself my entire life, told I was lazy, told I was immature or a baby (I'm 50 years old!), etc. etc.

I have a 17 month old son and I'm looking for steadier employment as I've been freelancing for years now (partly to get away from the inevitable judgment of the usual boss) but the pay is spotty. My partner is anxious about my future earning potential given we have a kid now (let's just say "this has impacted our relationship"), and I absolutely cannot stand the flakiness and the rejection and the constantly being measured by someone else's ruler that is part of job application (I had this problem whenever I dated, too). Years ago I noticed that I could not emotionally tolerate applying to more than 1 job a week because the rejections just withered me... "rejection sensitivity dysphoria" is a thing I apparently have. (I couldn't take more than 1 rejection a night from a woman when I was out and about as a single person, either... This might explain why I only found my partner at 39, and possibly why I was basically sexually addicted (sorry, "on and off again") to a prior partner prior to that despite that person being bad for me in numerous other capacities (those dopamine hits are everything!).)

Do you think video gaming is simultaneously more appealing to this type but also makes it worse?

And also, at what point is this more of an excuse than an explanation?

Given that you should not generally disclose your health issues to bosses, how would you even find accommodating work (in, say, technology) with this "limitation"?
> quality control

new Toyota EV = wheels falling off, battery overheating and not able to charge to 100%
new VW EVs = large panel gaps

> processes
new VW EVs = if you are lucky with your firmware version, to update the car via OTA you have to leave your car dealer's service center; dealers still a pain in the ass for both VW and customers
GM EVs = just don't produce them because of parts shortage

I don't believe their expertise helps, it was the slow iterative upgrade path that created this myth. As soon as the OEMs need to create a new product, they encounter the same problems that Tesla was criticised for and eventually solved.

> It just is not that hard to build a decent EV anymore.

There are lots of low-hanging fruits for EV efficiency and production that traditional manufacturers are slow on adopting.

> The biggest realization I had was that I have been using negative feelings/emotions in order to get stuff done for years. On the outside I looked like a productive, healthy person, on the inside I was beating myself down all day every day, and that behavior didn't lead to a great relationship with myself.

Yeah, those years of negative self-talk, there's a lot of learning to be kind to yourself that comes with a diagnosis.
That's an extremely good point. It's easy for me to forget that DARPA is primarily in the business of war.

I hope there is a version of this that's used to help people, but I have changed my mind and now agree that it's inappropriate for a military to be developing a technology like this.
> In a world where everything changes rapidly and I might need money now, I'm going to demand a lot of interest before I'll lend you my cash. Because I'm incurring a lot of opportunity cost by parting with it.

My logic is that the market participants have the expectation that everything changes rapidly for the better; that is, advances in technology have a deflationary effect and therefore people are happy to lend at a lower interest rate, expecting the same number of dollars to buy more later.

Yes willpower is too simple and too tied up with connotations of hardworkingness and virtue to adequately explain it. It's more like "don't have control over where attention is focused." Wanting to do it may make it more likely but there are other factors, and I can also easily get caught up in a task that is actively unpleasant. Unmedicated the focus goes where it wants to go, not where I want it to go; but not necessarily nowhere either.

And ADHD people in my experience aren't worse at activities that do require what I would call simple willpower. Things like race cycling or endurance running, where persisting through discomfort and even pain are necessary.
