I'm not denying that some people have a harder time than others, but to restrict an ADHD brain is not unlike repressing a child. The "distractions" are only distractions to an orderly system - it does not imply that your brain is inherently disorderly, only that it doesn't mesh with the order defined by our society. Learning to reconcile the gap between your natural strengths as an ADHD individual and those needed to make it in the modern world will work far better than trying to shoehorn yourself into a set of rules that your brain refuses to comply with. Living without fulfillment will only further muddy the ADHD mind.

Medicine is a shortcut to that, but as you've already noted, it's a huge undertaking of trial-and-error, and may only amount to a transitory solution. Nonetheless, if it carries you forward even a little, it's a worthwhile endeavor.
I guess I'm a bit torn on this. Even if we had an extremely fair and equitable society with growth I imagine there'd still be plenty of people who feel rejected or lonesome at times. Or just like the feeling that these drugs give them above normal drugs.

I drink alcohol a couple times a week and do edibles once a month. I'm sure some would argue I'm not fulfilled but I think the easier explanation is that a lot of times doing mind-altering drugs is...fun? And can be social.

I'm sorry to hear this. I've had the exact opposite of you - 35-40 hour weeks for 13+ years.

Yes, I've done OT, 2 AM deployments, 5 AM deployments, hours on holidays, etc etc - but I'd always take time off so I can recover, either from PTO or "free hours" approved by a good boss.

If I was even threatened with what you've been through, I'd put my two weeks in. Life is too short to work for free, on a fixed, 40-hour salary, for someone else. It's wage theft, plain and simple.

I think there are inevitable outcomes we can predict early on which are not sensitive to these considerations. You might think I’m doing a ton of guessing and hindsight reasoning, but I do want to at least say one of the principle characters in Foundation is someone thinking sociologically/cosmologically on 30,000 year scales. He wants minimize the future inevitable cluster collapse of the galaxy. He knows it’s unavoidable in the future, that space is subject to certain governing processes which will drive all starting points to the same collapse. At best he can minimize. By a magnitude of 1 or 2.

The Fermi paradox can be outmoded or not really relevant at these scales.

I avoided raising any particular outcomes other than the one thing which seems inevitable, the cluster-outlier dynamic. It’s weird this reasoning exists, or it was at least interesting to Asmiov imo. I think he found most interesting that a few distant inevitabilities can be known, and space-wise those relate to the cluster/very very few outliers.

And I’m pretty sure there were aliens (The M**). Asimov was both relying on human sociology and history AND taking that to the largest backdrop. Like only needing a slice (statistics, modeling, or selective deep-thinking even) of something deep gain to gain immense wisdom about the future. That was the most interesting thing about the character who set the whole story in motion at least imo. Even the initiating character, The M**, and counter forces could not disrupt the course…No planet perpetually hidden, no stopping perpetual clustering…(sorry for spoilers)

"the antithesis of 007 is George Smiley and that's how espionage and operations are really like"

Much more realistic of course, but reality is likely more trivial.

Like the case about Kim Philby, the famous spy le Carré wrote about in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy". The book is way more complex and the characters engage in way more sophisticated double plays and schemes, than in reality, where they make quite trivial and dumb misstakes all the time.
Plus the developers need to be able to make a profit after accounting for operational expenses, closing costs, etc. If there's no financial incentive, nobody is going to build houses.

This myth of zoning being the only factor is maddening. It's almost like the California folks think their housing market is the only one. Plenty of jurisdictions have loose zoning laws and we still see skyrocketing property values. There's interest rates and inflation to consider.

The cold hard truth is: when a bunch of people all want to live in the same areas, housing is going to be expensive. There's no way around it.
I suspect they're talking about how single family zoning results in only having more expensive places to live.

Even if you build a "cheap" single family house that's still going to be more expensive than some equally cheaply built townhomes, or apartments because of stuff like parking requirements and minimum setbacks.

By making more off of ads and subscriptions than they pay, the same way they are profiting off of music? That's how their business works, right?

About a year ago Spotify surpassed Apple for monthly regular podcast listeners. https://www.aakashg.com/2021/12/14/spotify-podcasts-apple/ Some portion of spotify podcasts are "spotify exclusive" (that they pay the creators for, and that can only be listened to on spotify app) -- they bought Gimlet and several other podcast publishers. But I think they also distribute podcasts that are not exclusive? (not totally sure, I don't use spotify). I think the spotify-exclusive podcasts, along with their existing customer base used to using spotify app to listen to things, are probably crucial to their success in market share.

They want to be the (or one of the) only way to reach listeners with a podcast, so they can take a cut. They're working on it. While right now I think even their exclusive podcasts can be listened to on free spotify accounts (they still make money off ads), if they can get to this dominant position they will of course have subscription-only podcasts too.

> I had a programmer friend who got the FX-8150 in 2012 for compiling - pricewise it was basically equivalent to a i5 but you got 8 integer cores in return.

but the integer cores shared a frontend which alternated between feeding the two cores, so using all 8 threads (2 threads per module) reduced per-thread performance even further from the already abysmal 1TPM performance levels.

The FX-8150 failed to outperform a 2500K in compiling let alone a 2600K. In fact it was significantly slower than a Phenom II X6, which was much closer to the 2600K while the FX-8150 failed to even match the 2500K.

https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph4955/41699.png (may need to hit enter or open-in-private-window to force a referrerless load)

You can see how hard that shared frontend hits - Phenom with 6 "modules" curbstomps the Bulldozer in compiles despite having "fewer threads". It's not just that Bulldozer IPC is bad per-thread and it's made up with more threads, using more threads actually causes further reductions of the IPC which destroy a lot of the benefits of having those threads in the first place. It was not a good processor even in heavily multithreaded loads, outside some happy cases.

Frankly there was just as much of a fanboy effect in those days as in the early days of Ryzen, which really wasn't justified by the actual performance. Most actual productivity loads used AVX which strongly favored Intel over Ryzen due to the half-rate AVX2, the 5820K did great in those workloads for a very affordable price and was also much better in gaming/etc, plus had massive overclocking headroom. But people tend to laser-focus on the handful of very specific workloads Ryzen 1000 did OK at. Intel was generally much more potent per-core if you did video encoding, for example, or in later Cinebench variants that used AVX. But Ryzen looked real good in pre-AVX cinebench R11.5 and R15 so that's what people cited.

People bought Bulldozer because they had always bought AMD and that was the brand they identified with on a social level. It was a terrible product and only slightly mitigated by the Piledriver series (FX-8350)... which had to go up against Ivy Bridge and later Haswell, where it was just as far behind.

https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph6396/51121.png

Same story as Phenom. Bulldozer would have been a competitive product if it got to market 2 years earlier and didn't need another couple years to fix the deficiencies.

(author here) With hyperthreading/SMT, all of the above are shared, along with OoO execution buffers, integer execution units, and load/store unit.

I wouldn't say there are issues with sharing those components. More that the non-shared parts were too small, meaning Bulldozer came up quite short in single threaded performance.

I bet Open Rewrite can handle that quite easily: https://docs.openrewrite.org/
A few thoughts:

1) On the talk of saturation Netflix had somewhere around 230 mil subscribers last year. In theory the addressable market should be adults ~20 and up so somewhere around 5 bil. So not even close to saturation. Discounting say half of that imagine how much better the service could be with 10x the current subscriber base. They talk about increasing subscription price... At 10x you could half the subscription price and still increase content spending 5x which would be pretty incredible.

2) The article talks about old content not holding value as expected. I think a lot of this has to do with the near complete failure to invest in rewatchable content. They were clearly aware the value of shows like The Office and Friends in terms of rewatchability. Off the top of my head I can't even think of an attempt at original content in that lane from Netflix (Licensing and extra seasons of Arrested Development is the only thing that comes to mind). To be fair though utterly bizarrely nearly every service has failed at this kind of content for the past 5 years or so.

3) The lack of global hits is very strange. I was trying to lookup high budget tv productions in foreign countries and not sure if it is just a lack of data or they don't exist. I would think even if there is a cultural bias around kinds of shows people watch just in terms of production quality western shows would still be globally dominant. Are there any examples of international shows with 20 mil per episode budgets?

This one is definitely strange to me looking back on what I would have estimated for the world of streaming a decade ago. I would have expected a much more expected shared culture in terms of what is watched worldwide. Instead it seems if anything we have become increasingly isolated. It's crazy to think Netflix isn't even active in a country the size of China for example. I would have thought by now technology would lead to shows with viewerships counted in the billions not millions. Squid Game is apparently Netflix's most popular show ever but even that from brief research has under 200 mil views which in the context of total population still makes it incredibly unpopular. I.e. if you take 100 random humans and put them in a room almost none of them have seen it. I wonder if we will ever reach a point where anything is actually globally popular.
I'm confused as to what you're saying here, but it sounds interesting. Can you clarify? Survivorship bias of what over what?

You can’t say the same about Netflix. Netflix is completely dependent on streaming revenue.
You don’t need a union. It’s enough to have a long notice period required by law.
In all high cost of living areas, the cost of land is the much more relevant factor. Even when people say, "oh no it's the cost of goods or the labor," they're talking about land.

Go compare the costs of identical pieces of plywood from the Home Depot on West 23rd Street in Manhattan and the Home Depot in Jersey City, directly across the river.

Manhattan: $76; Jersey City: $37

Is that the cost of shipping a piece of plywood an additional 3-10 miles? Is it taxes?

It's the rent.

I really wish they would stop shipping stuff with only 8gb of ram. With how memory hungry things are this day, 16gb is the least amount of ram most people will find usable.

Case in point, I have Chrome, with 5 tabs open, slack, dropbox, xcode and terminal and I am using more than 18 gigs of ram. I feel like apple services/apps are probably taking up at least 4-5 gigs of memory.
Been using it as my desktop for about 5 years and have never looked back.
I wonder why Microsoft (GitHub) didn't harbour such reservations.
We need to be careful with the language here. It's not true that there are models of ZFC where the real numbers are actually definable. What's true is there are models of ZFC where what is considered a "real number" from within that model is always definable (but will not be definable within that model). However, those sets do not form the actual real numbers, they are simply sets that from within the model satisfy a given definition of the reals without actually being the reals.

A similar result is that there are models of the reals in ZFC that are countable, even though the reals are not countable. How can this be? Well it's similar to the above argument, those models do not represent the actual real numbers.

All this means is that it's not possible to categorically define real numbers in first order ZFC. Any axiomatic definition of the reals in first order ZFC will have some models that satisfy those axioms but are not actually real numbers.

The thread was flagged by users and downweighted by moderators, probably for similar reasons: it's not clear how this is a significantly new story, given that the topics it relates to are already getting tons of coverage on HN. This is standard moderation here.

HN is a curated site; it always has been. One of the things we have to do, to keep it interesting, is to prevent it from getting too repetitive. If you want to understand more about the principles that this place operates by, here are some links to past explanations.

I think you can dislike the behaviors being exhibited and the game simultaneously. I hear you, it's the reality of the situation we live in now, but it's not a good system for the vast majority of people.
Maybe `isLinux` is not the best example, as it's pretty much a self-documented boolean. But when I'm in the general situation you describe, I tend to just search github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs in order to figure out usage, if it's not documented elsewhere already.

Here is an example for isLinux specifically: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/search?q=isLinux

Reading through how the stdenv stuff is working might help as well, the generic lists a bunch of "is" booleans: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/7e325cb89453651dbe9a17...

In general I agree, things are vastly under-documented, and that makes it kind of hard, and only solution I've found is digging deeper into sources. Which had the happy side-effect of me understanding NixOS better as well.
I will also +1 this as an i3wm user. I do use displayplacer and yabai together though. I have two identical external monitors that don't behave well with MacOS. Apparently the monitor's unique id's are not unique in MacOS. This causes MacOS to get them mixed up any time I disconnect from them. I have a keyboard shortcut that uses displayplacer to toggle between the two monitor valid configurations.
