"just a description of some symptoms."

Yes - all psychological disorders are syndromal. None are purely genetic or environmental, in fact the DSM and and ICD explicitly rule out psychosis or positive schizophrenic like symptoms caused by say toxin poisoning from their diagnostic criteria.

What we can do is heritability studies on those who do fit the diagnostic criteria. We can test their relatives on neurocognitive batteries, including twin studies and get quite an accurate picture of the level to which genes contribute on a population level. Here's one review - https://academic.oup.com/schizophreniabulletin/article/43/4/...

So you're right in asserting that schizophrenia likely isn't one clearly delineated disorder, but this is less due to an unclear 'medical definition', and more due to the fact that it's not entirely endophenotypic. It has sociogenic and psychogenic elements too - as do ALL psychological disorders.

We diagnose from symptoms, but symptoms too are culturally mediated. We can never have a simple 'medical definition' of schizophrenia, because it's not only genetic, or only environmental, or only behavioural. It exists on the line between the creation and performance of personhood, and the biological mechanisms that make that possible.

Put another way - if schizophrenics behaved 'normally' we wouldn't have a disorder at all. We deduce an internal experience of suffering, based on what they tell us of their inner experience (delusions and hallucinations), and the ways in which their behaviour departs from normative. We see a disease course, because many patients also have physical symptoms over the life course (like catatonia), although this is complicated by the brain damage caused by long term use of antipsychotics. A disorder of perception, selfhood and behaviour isn't reducible to a biological mechanism gone wrong - any more than joining a cult, following an extremist belief, or committing an act of terrorism would be. Those behaviours too could be said to have a genetic component - in so far as there are measurable aspects of impulsivity, neuroticism etc that can be used to explain them. But they're clearly not a disease in the conventional sense of the word.

How would you describe it?

One approach would be: you're moving along a straight line, perpendicular to a large body that attracts you through gravity.

Now "down" is towards the gravity, "up" is the opposite direction, and "left" and "right" are perpendicular, but which one is left and right, if you cannot rely on handedness?

Artisanal mining is a grey area in Zimbabwe’s conservation story
I remember watching an interview with Jim Keller, where he explained that they had the front-end team doing RTL for the ARM64 ISA and the x86_64 ISA in parallel, and independently of the back-end team who were doing the core execution block.

I think this was talking about the K12, which as I understand was ultimately never released.

Perhaps the modern CPU design space looks a bit like what compilers look like today, with a core that's independent of the front end language/back end target architecture. In which case it might be a lot more modular than one would expect...
Both are very opinionated frameworks. Basically, they establish a convention for dealing with packages and custom config code, and build from there.

With Spacemacs, the expected default is to use Vim-style editing, with the addition of the Space key (hence the name) to access all of Emacs functionality. It's quite user-friendly and very discoverable. And it's still Emacs, so it offers a lot of customization.

Doom Emacs is a more focused approach, it has a clean set of defaults, and the ability to load lots of optional features. One key difference with Spacemacs is the use of an extra CLI utility to manage things such as package installation and config upgrades. Doom also disables customize-mode, which leads to cleaner configs at the cost of some discoverability.

Personally, I've been using Spacemacs for years, the key shortcuts just make sense to me, and it includes everything I want. I also love the default theme, the documentation is helpful, and the main drawback, long startup times, is minimized because I never exit Emacs.

Anti-cheat dev threatens legal action against negative reviews and articles
Translation:

> This article greatly lacks neutrality, is objectively false, and there's nothing to shield it from legal liability. At the very least the publisher should've contacted us and included our side of the story.

> We're going to work with our legal counsel without hesitation and take necessary actions against the publisher of the article and the Steam user who made the original review comment.

Here's the context:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35576148

In the thread, he also takes issue with complaints about privacy, providing two conflicting counterpoints. On one hand, he claims that there's no reason for anti-cheat software to collect personal information. But right afterwards, he says his software includes a privacy policy to comply with regulations.

It's a long thread, but in general, it doesn't seem to occur to him that people have issues with the invasiveness of anti-cheat software. He repeatedly claims that the article and the original review comment was made for the sole purpose of harming his business interests.

I guess some could argue that we do have some special vocabulary for cars too.

E.g. you don't call it the front/back door, you call it the bonnet/boot (or maybe hood/trunk depending where you're from) though that probably is stretching the definition of a door a little bit... but then you also have nearside and offside for passengers/drivers side, though that's probably a bit more of a technical term.

This is interesting. As a developer I haven't thought about using GPT to give me a task list instead of code right away.

Right now it seems like hit and miss still. The examples can be impressive but also have to be very generic - since GPT doesn´t have access to your codebase.

The real game changer will be a few years from now when something like GPT is an addon in VSCode... and it will know about your entire codebase.

In fact a wrapper around GPT would tell GPT about all the packages you use, the language, framework etc so much of the prep work this article documents, would be done in the background.

Then you could straight up ask the bot to give suggestions to refactor your code, wide sweeping changes. Or ask it to uprgade eg. your Symfony php app from version X to version Y including major upgrade changes... and even if it gets only 90% of the way, you can review everything in git.

People seem to forget the three ways to make things faster in computers:

1. Micro-optimisation,

2. Better algorithms,

3. Change the problem.

The potential impact of each of these increases as you go down.

Choosing Rust over Python is micro-optimisation. All things being equal, the impact isn't going to be that great. People are like "let me squeeze out every ounce of power from my CPU so I can run a linter on the entire codebase every time I save". Python folk are like "why on earth would you do that?" We simply changed the problem.

ChatGPT in Scientific Writing: A Cautionary Tale
Left and Right didn't have their modern meaning back then. In Old English riht meant straight, as in direct or not bent. It later assumed the meaning of correct as in right and wrong. Lyft meant weak. Their reference to handedness seems to have been incidental. It seems odd to us to talk about the 'straight' and 'weak' hand, but to them it made sense, but maybe not to talk about the 'straight' or 'weak' sides of a boat.

The concept of left and right hands was not commonly used historically. During the English Civil War many recruits didn't know which hand or foot was left or right. During marching training instructors used to stick some hay in one boot and straw in the other for each recruit and call out "Hay, Straw, Hay, Straw".
In Malaysian/Singaporean English there's a term: gostan (read "go stun"), which means to reverse. I was curious about it's etymology and went to research it. It came from "go astern", with "astern" being the back of a ship. I imagine this must be a phrase the English speaking colonists must have used quite a lot in the 17th century
In one of Tim Snyders Yale lectures on Ukrainian history, goes overboard about the left bank/right bank in respect of the Dniepro. The river runs north to south, so the right bank is basically the west. I strongly suspect he has trouble telling his left from his right; I've read an essay in which there is a map with a small patch of Russia (coloured red) in the bottom-left, but the caption says it's bottom-right.

I suspect the reason he made a meal of this subject (and the reason he insists on using the left/right terminology) is because he finds it challenging.

I learned it with the Seine, in Paris: the left bank is to the south of the right bank. It's also where the bulk of the 1968 political protest happened; the protestors were leftists. The Seine generally flows south to north, emptying into the English Channel.
Europe has to accept the loss of Ariane 6. We have to write it off, it's a pill we have to swallow. Either get Ariane 6 into production right now or continue with Ariane 5, but we have to get Ariane 7 into development as fast as possible. Ariane 6 is a dead-end.

Everyone is pretty pessimistic here, but you have to keep in mind that before spacex ariane was a big player. They didn't realise the revolution happening until it was too late and now have this uncompetitive rocket, but Ariane is not entirely stupid and incompetent. They can create a reliable, good rocket.

If I'm honest I never could quite understand the whole privacy kerfuffle about cookies, they ask the user to remember some token and if they so choose send that token back when they visit again. If cookies are a breach of privacy then so are ticket numbers.

Of course the whole issue is that the most popular user agents (i.e. web browsers) did very little to empower users to act responsibly with their cookies. I mean I consider the Cookie Autodelete extension just basic hygiene at this point, just like having a good ad blocker and some kind of firewall/virus scanner.
> software development in the UK can absolutely be ineligible for R&D tax credits yet still require treatment as capital expenditure for tax purposes

Indeed. Although:

"If businesses develop their own software, the classification of expenditure relating to this (including salaries of in-house IT staff) should be assessed following the same principles. The fact that expenses such as salaries may be recurring does not on its own prevent them from being capital in nature. However, it should be noted that:

The salaries of IT staff will not normally be capital expenditure unless some major new project can be identified. If staff are making only piecemeal changes or minor improvements to software, their salaries are likely to be revenue costs."

Yet from the [US-based] contibutions in the thread it sounds as though _all_ in-house software developers' salaries may _have_ to be treated as capital expenditure for tax purposes in the US.

This seems, frankly, bonkers. I appreciate that portions of the US tax code might well be exactly that(!)

It isn't impossible, it is just arbitrary. The whole reason we can have this huge thread about different names for directions is that they is just arbitrary labels, with groups of people having a consensus on what word to use.

BTW, If you really must explain it without just saying it is arbitrary, you can talk about clockwise vs. counterclockwise... which came from sundials, which came from the direction our shadows move as the sun moves. In a similar vein, Left goes against the shadows, Right follows the shadows.

> Where does it say that all your business expenditure must be considered R&E and consequently are subject to the provisions of section 174?

It doesn't, and neither did I. It states that all software development is seen as R&E

> Yes, if some of your expenditure falls under R&E, then you use section 174 which says any portion thereof involving software development must be amortized.

> What’s described is a cause and effect relationship, not a global mutation of all expenses.

That's not how I interpret it. Section 174 states that all sw dev will fall under R&E. By your logic, you could rule out any "Special rules and definitions" of all sections.
Again, it's not about "all expenses". It's about "any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software". Basically payroll, contractors, and even outsourced companies.

To prevent massive outsourcing, the amortization rate is 7% (15 years) instead of 20%.

Look at it this way:

A "machine" must be amortized. In its lifespan it wil generate some sort of income (almost by itself).
Software can be seen as a "machine". Makes total sense.

Here in NL, if you mine bitcoin. You'll have to pay income tax over it, as it's seen similar as "labor".

To go upwind you need a keel (viking ships did) or something that prevents the wind to push the ship away [1]. Sailing against the wind was very important for battle ships. What we have now compared to them is better materials and centuries of improved design which turned into tacking closer to the wind and much better maneuverability. We can change direction in a very short space. However our sailing boats are much smaller, closer to the viking ships than to the galleons [2]

As someone who lives in Norway (permanent resident) I'm quite surprised that Sweden is so bad. A couple of years ago I visited my GP complaining of a small hard swelling on my foot. he said it's probably just a ganglion and that he could fix it if it didn't improve by itself but that he would like an MRI scan first to check exactly what it looked like. It was obviously not even slightly urgent but I still got the scan with a month. In Norway such scans are normally performed at a specialist company (Unilabs in this case) even though it is all paid for by the health national service (except for about 150 NOK egenandel, that's about 15 USD copay)
