> and it's hard to live in a world that thinks "everyone has a little ADHD

Ironically, headlines like this contribute to the idea that “everyone has ADHD”. Once you identify 27 different variants as being linked to ADHD, a lot of people are going to have at least one of those variants. That doesn’t mean they have ADHD, because the correlation to any singular variant is insignificant. But a lot of people are going to find one or two or three of these variants and assume, wrongly, that it means they have ADHD.

The more variants that are “linked to” a condition, the more people will have at least one of those variants and get confused. When you have as many as 27 variants linked, it could be the case that virtually everyone has at least one of those variants, depending on how common they are.

These aren’t diagnostic for ADHD in any way. They’re more of loose correlational hints for further research.
Bathrooms are a messy issue, and personally I'm in favor of a pivot towards individual genderless stalls, but one important thing to consider is that trans women are much more at risk when using the men's room than women are when trans women use the women's. There's also the issue of how you're going to legislate passing trans women from using the women's room.

I also generally dislike TERFs because they're partnering with right wing reactionary groups that might be helping now but don't want women's rights in the end either.

> People after all, have free will - and if they can't choose to quit their jobs, terminate their relationships with shareholders, executives, employees, etc., then they are in a position of slavery or at least, indentured servitude of some sort.

That's not quite the way I see it. To me, a corporation is an emergent intelligence that results from a system of smaller parts interacting with one another. Those parts are in fact shareholders, executives, employees, etc. In this sense, saying a corporate person is a slave to its employees is like saying we biological people are slaves to our cells and organs.

I have no idea if that's true, but I think it's fun to think about the implications. It certainly brings into question one of the premises of your post; that people have free will.
I am a thinking person and I wish for the collapse of the Iranian, Russian, and Chinese nation states (among others). Some people always have a rough time in a societal collapse, but that would at least offer the possibility of a brighter future instead of perpetual authoritarian oppression. And, selfishly, it would eliminate threats to the US and our allies.

I don't think we should intervene military to cause such a collapse. But we should exert peaceful pressure to hasten it, just like we did with the USSR.

A wider attention window. ChatGPT can see 4096 sub-word tokens which is not a lot in the grand scheme of things. You could get "explainable" explanations of topic if it went and read 10 articles and was able to attend to the full text of all the articles to quite literally link the part of the article to the output with both generated text and a citation. That would take an attention window in the 400,000-4,000,000 tokens range.

There are very long-range transformers but as of yet they don't work so well. They will be a continuing research topic because a longer attention window allows applying LLMs to more problems. For instance, document classification or retrieval of documents longer than 4000 tokens.
There's a hard limit on that - the speed of light.

The best is when you realize you are yelling at the mirror. :D

And, to be fully fair, I'm sure this is in many walks. Cast iron advocates. Electric stoves. Manual transmission vehicles.

The worst is when things /used/ to be true. The world has a habit of moving on.

I don't think it'd be reasonable to assume that, no. The Islamic Revolution didn't happen in a vacuum.
For reference, these are the established "12 steps" of overcoming alcoholism:

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

This, under some atheist/agnostic worldviews, is roughly equivalent to "you just need to control yourself".
> Whether the corporation should be considered a person is a matter of active academic and public debate.

If a corporation is considered a person, then it's the biggest asshole I know.
Countless studies have shown that SARS-CoV2 can infect systemically and not just the lungs. The SARS-CoV2 virus has been found in virtually every organ and the first autopsy studies in 2020 demonstrated this.

It is horrifying that the person who has lead the response to this virus for the US is a coauthor of this factually incorrect statement 3 years into the pandemic.

I agree that pricing might be their biggest challenge. Matte 4k X1 Carbon ThinkPads in like-new condition go for around $1k on eBay, and they run Linux fine, so long as you're willing to install non-free firmware. I'm not sure what kind of premium I'd be willing to pay to get the faster boot and libre firmware from a company with no track record at all in the marketplace. I've recently upgraded the SSD in my T480s that's running Debian, and I figure I have another 2 or 3 years before I'll feel the need to go shopping for something better. Maybe when the used ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 AMD machines start hitting eBay in force.

I also own a Framework laptop, and the 3:2 aspect ratio is a killer feature for me. It's really hard to go back to 16:10 after using that for a while.
How can a monarch and a separate head of government exist at the same time? Sounds like the Shah called the shots.
Can they be incarcerated for misbehaving?

- their members and employee can be incarcerated,

- they can be enjoined / barred from conducting x, y, z activities,

- they can be executed / dissolved,

- they are subject to civil asset forfeiture if their assets were used in a crime.
This debate is internationally relevant when it comes to moral agency of corporations. The question is whether corporations have first-order moral responsibilities or whether all the responsibilities fall onto the shareholders. It is separate from the question of legal personhood which I agree is not controversial in most discourses.
I'll have to agree with this comment by "Jason":

Victor Mair quoting a colleague said:

"In 1998 when the reformist president, Mohamad Khatami, came to power he tried to eliminate this slogan from the political scene and he suggested to replace any 'marg bar' slogan with 'zendeh baad my opponent'."

Why would he try to do this if "marg bar X " neutrally means "down with X", not "death to X". Similarly:

"Alireza is right to try to downplay the slogan — for two reasons: 1) This is an early revolutionary slogan that is quite exaggerated. 2) Not many Iranians actually subscribe to this view…The official government uses this slogan, but not many actually take it seriously."

Again, why is your colleague /so concerned to downplay the significance of this slogan/ as "exaggerated" (whatever that means — do they mean "hyperbolic") and "not taken seriously" if it merely means "down with America?"

Frankly this piece reads like pure political drivel of the type that's increasingly infecting Language Log of late, when it seems perfectly obvious that:

1) Marg bar Amrika literally means "Death to America"
2) Native Persian speakers are perfectly aware of this fact, or else why try to euphenize/euthemize the expression or downplay how "seriously" Iranians take it?

Reza Mirsajadi's effort in sophistry reminds me of David Irving's attempts to prove that "ausrotten" doesn't mean "exterminate". And indeed, given what happened to the Shah, the fact that the phrase originated in the Iranian revolution is the opposite of comforting.

Violent metaphors have a long provenance in all langauges, but in the age of terrorism and the twitter soundbite every English speaker has had to learn to avoid them /precisely because/ you can never know if such threatening language is sincere or not. I fail to see why Iranians should get a free pass and a translational obfuscation courtesy of Mirsajadi on such language. Can anyone trust Mirsajadi to translate honestly after this particular effort?

You may as well claim "go kill yourself" is an idiom that means "I don't like you". An idiom is when it's nearly impossible to infer the actual meaning based off the literal meaning of the words. A hyperbole or a metaphor does not make an idiom. Death is invoked here exactly because of what it implies. "Death to X country" is not any less metaphorical in English. A country obviously cannot die.
It's not "basically true" though. The whole point of the "disorder" designation is that it interferes with life activities. Everyone has attention deficits at times - that does not a disorder make. Otherwise I agree with the analogy.
Communists fought the Khmer Rouge, and these Khmers were backed by the US first.

> It seems like they’re eager to…

My understanding of the position of the various physicists that I follow is that they are *not* eager to assume this. It’s just, after quite a bit of investigation, the best explanation that fits the sum total of information that we have the best. I wouldn’t describe any of the cosmologists that I’ve listened to describe their position as “eager” for it to be matter. The ones I’ve listened to, in fact, would be absolutely thrilled if we had evidence that ruled out the “matter” explanation.

> Why assume that it’s matter in the first place?

I… don’t think physics assume it must be matter. It’s the leading theory largely because we’ve spent a decade ruling out various other possibilities and ideas. Dark Matter is what we have left that best fits the sum of available evidence. But, again, every physicist I’ve heard talk about this subject has acknowledged that it’s basically an area with a lot of question marks, and we don’t really know much about it, so we’ll have to keep studying the question to try and learn more.

> Because we can’t think of anything else that bend spacetime…

Again, we can think of lots of things that can bend spacetime that aren’t matter. That’s trivial. But (again, my understanding from physicists I listen to) is that we’ve thought of lots of those things and ruled many of them out (because the observation we have are more than just “bends spacetime”). Dark Matter is what’s left after ruling lots of our ideas out.

Does that mean DM is definitely the cause of the behaviors we see? No! Of course not. It could absolutely be some matter-less cause that we haven’t ruled out yet.

I would throw out their that I don’t feel like you are able to provide a summary of the Dark Matter proponents position that most Dark Matter proponents would agree with (or, at least the ones I’ve listened to; I’m sure there are some proponents who hold the positions you describe, I’m just not familiar with them).
Tailwind is less dialect, more subset. If someone has zero pre-existing knowledge of HTML/CSS then something like Tailwind is, in my opinion, a much better introduction to styling web pages because it focuses on one dimension: determining which rules you'd like to apply to which elements.

With Tailwind, you're not caught up in understanding the relationship between CSS and HTML which includes challenges like inheritance. Another benefit of Tailwind for new learners is the exhaustive documentation which captures all of the rules and their relationship in one place: it's hard to overstate the value of being able to look at a single page to fully understand how you can pad an element.

Certainly, there's limits to what you can achieve with Tailwind, but given it does expose a learner to the key principles of styling, it can then lead into an expanded learning of CSS if a user is interested in learning more -- you don't have to unlearn anything from Tailwind.

I can absolutely understand why someone would dislike Tailwind, especially those with pre-existing knowledge of CSS for whom this is a totally different way of styling, but to describe it as problematic for newcomers seems ignorant of where the real challenges of learning CSS are.
> It's more likely that a Holocaust denier would have luck convincing someone if the commonly touted numbers are inaccurate and vociferously defended.

Why do you think Holocaust deniers are hell bent on nitpicking about these estimates? Their tactic is to use them as a wedge to push other bad faith arguments to cast doubt on all aspects of the Holocaust. Again, do you think it makes any difference if a gross estimate is 5-10% over or under? The strategy followed by Holocaust deniers is to abuse this logic to jump to conclusions like "if they are wrong about these numbers then what other lies have they been pushing?"
Also on the game development front, I maintain a raylib wrapper https://github.com/planetis-m/naylib As long utilities like c2nim https://github.com/nim-lang/c2nim exist, it's trivial to create bindings of C/C++ libraries. One thing I want to experiment more is making it more automatic by writing a callback exposed by c2nim that transform the generated code using Nim's AST. But regardless in that project I was able to write safe language abstractions on top of the bindings that provide a more native experience. It has scope-based memory management, generics and ... function/enum overloading.

"Treatment" involves a number of different options, of varying permanence. It isn't "Okay, surgery scheduled for Tuesday" at every patient's first consulation.

It's not so much that he commanded US jets, he gave an order for the object to be shot down by the first able aircraft, and included authorization for that to be US aircraft. I don't anything is implying that the US pilot bypassed US chain of command to do so. Trudeau had obviously been discussing strategy with the US, but it's important for Canadian sovereignty for the order to come from Canada.
Can you get two viruses at once?

I assume they mean an immune response to multiple viruses. Every human has millions of viruses laying dormant in their body and various environmental inputs can reactivate some of them. The immune system will respond to as many viruses that are detected provided the immune system is not already overloaded.
Google and Firefox made the change roughly at the same time -- because there was a lot of evidence that EV indicators simply don't work. Users don't pay attention to them, and even if they did, the idea that company names are unique - even within a jurisdiction - is simply incorrect.

The only upside of EV certificates is that the PKI companies can seek a higher rent.

Was this expert who defined ADHD tested for psychopathy and sadism, or is group conformity and obedience to authority on display here with the existence and definition of ADHD?

I suppose one way a university can get around its ethics boards, is to identify and grade highly psychopaths and sadists, to carry on their work by proxy of their students. A highly deniable move by any means.

Note: there are no real answers here, of course. I think the "purpose" though would be a less myopic view of what a person is. Notably, that there's no reason "person" and "homo sapien" should be synonymous. Once you admit that, then things start to get really fuzzy and we need a framework to get back to something that makes sense.
I think the trouble really starts when you have ADHD for things you love.

The best example I can think of on this, is to look up that TDD creation of a Sudoku solver. This is collected in an old HN post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3033446.

It is reasonable to think you can know what functionality you need to test. And, for certain, if you know the boundaries of the system you are building, you will know some. That said, there is a tendency to build more boundaries than needed in our industry, period. Would be like a community garden that thought they should arrange things by type of plant that will be created by the community. When the actual divisions should be on how many community members you will have.
Dependabot on Gitlab (2016)
Back in the nineties I stumbled over the dot, when a friend of mine claimed his mail address was `something@aol.com.` insisting on the dot. I proved him wrong, claiming it didn't matter. Only a few years later, when dealing with DNS config I learned the truth... now it's knowledge I can use to be alone in a bar.

But more recently that knowledge got some relevance in Kubernetes clusters to me: By default they use the `cluster.local.` domain. As that is configurable, now many people leave that out and rely on the search domain config. In consequence in some situations a broken service may try to connect to the outside and with bad choice of i.e. namespace names might leak as valid host names on the public DNS ... which in worst names can lead to a connection attempt from cluster to some foreign system.

That’s unfortunately likely true, other regimes which have fallen in recent years have resulted in terrible misery as the power vacuum opens up.

The reality though is there is already misery in Iran; economic stagnation, government sanctioned murders and beatings, and people are deeply unhappy.

Generally, one would want to be more than 1000km from the eruption site. Ash would cover crops and so on, but you're not going to be obliterated. Yes, the crop failures and cascading effects would render much of the world food source inoperable for some time, but also would replenish the midwest topsoil.

How long ash would remain airborne would also have an impact on crops elsewhere and could result in mini ice-age conditions.

Still not the end of the current civilization.

A bunch of incendiary balloons in a dry windy summer on the west coast would be rather messy for a rather large area. We've already had a million+ acres per year burning as it is. Wouldn't be hard to burn 10M+ acres that way. That said, I do believe we'd consider that an outright act of war if it wasn't in a middle of a war.

Of course on all things relate to fire it seems like the US has been about dumb as possible. 99% Invisible podcast episode 'built to burn' goes over this rather well.
