Thomas Jefferson is on a list quoted in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC181243/. You can read the book for more on that.

Richard Feynman I'm basing on my impressions from Surely You Must Be Joking, Mr. Feynman and What Do You Care What Others Think? In particular the first book explains his inability to function when he tried to comply with external demands, and describes the lengths that he went to to live a curiosity driven life where he functioned much better. That matches my experience of ADHD. The second book has a long description of the period in which he wrote https://history.nasa.gov/rogersrep/v2appf.htm. That description contains a lot that is instantly recognizable as what it feels like to have hyperfocus.
One thing I've learned since joining Fly.io in 2020 is to laugh when people point to the 1500 MTU. You absolutely can't count on that: IPv6 cuts into it, and so does every additional layer of encapsulation on your path.

> If you are distributing a library of web components, wouldn't you provide a CSS api for the things that are supposed to be styleable via CSS custom properties and styleable parts?

If you read my previous comments you'll see that the parts that should be styleable--i.e. the content of the component I've defined--are user-defined, so no, I can't document them.

> Consider the existing libraries of web components — Shoelace for something generic, RedHat's Patternfly or Adobe's Spectrum for something company-specific. How much of a non-solution are they, really?

If you read what I said in context, I'm not saying components are useless, I'm saying the unstyled shadow DOM is a completely useless non-solution to the problem I've described.
This has been an issue on every distro I've ever used on every hardware I've installed it on. What's new?
Didn’t this happen recently with a usb to serial port vendor or something like that? Vendor released a new driver that bricked all of the knockoff ones…
I wasn't claiming it is wrong. Just a very big number.

ADHD is diagnosed by the occurance of defined symptoms. like most things in the DSM. Many things can manifest psychologically to give the collection of symptoms. Its not purely or even needs to be structural differences in the prefrontal cortex

The live broadcast at https://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watch/76561198810986181 shows what I assume are two devs who're having fun right now.

The displayed gameplay looks absolutely incredible, they are in multiplayer and to save his mate one of them just used a spell to knock off a guard down the stairs. Absolutely DnD kind of move.

I love the mix of both real-time and turn-based combat as well. A someone playing BG2 in my childhood for endless hours, seeing this (from what I can tell) top-notch release makes me really happy.

The hubris involved with freezing yourself just blows me away. Like society that is technically advanced enough to unfreeze, reanimate, and fix whatever disease or damage killed you the first time would have any desire to add some ego manic that wanted to freeze themselves to the society of their current day.
Aren't both of those also arguments against maintaining life support for coma patients? In both of these cases it costs power and insurance money, only the odds of recovery and amount of time on support are the differences. Which does change the ethics a bit, but not massively. They're basically just long term unlikely to recover coma patients.
> Because google lets you sideload. Even though almost no one actually does this

Maybe its because 30% is a relatively small price to pay for the benefits of app stores versus trying to get users to manually install your app via side loading.

Asking Apple to allow side loading and alternative app stores is like forcing Tesla to make a gasoline powered car.

It's hardly a US, or a recent thing.

When the UK electrified the East Coast Mainline in the 80s, that cost an inflation-adjusted GBP 600M, for 397 route miles. At that time 1 GBP was approx 1.5 USD.

Using 1.5, that's $2.26M/mile.

PS: Even in Japan, almost all freight travels by diesel to this day... they run on separate tracks to the passenger trains, although freight in general in Japan is less important since they don't have much bulk cargo, being a major exporter of neither food nor minerals.
What do you expect if you're using an MS platform?

Meanwhile, all of us not using MS platforms (Linux, Android, MacOS, iOS) don't see any of this.

MS only has power over you because you choose to give them that power. They have no power at all over anyone not using an MS OS.
You don’t actually need to use the AMI. Here’s an example of a NAT instance we build from scratch:

> Is there a reason why the answer to ADHD seems to be "use AI to do your work" rather than "use the proven medications to allow you to focus"?

The same people who are anti-medication are most likely anti-AI.

I have ADHD and I’ve studied it a bit, and have followed a lot of developments and changes in perceptions around it. I also don’t use meditation.

Generally, I’ve noticed a lot of society has a vague anti-daily-medication-for-mental-health view. If you need it every day people tend to be against it. Part of it is that people seem to think you should learn how to cope (you should), which some people think as minimizing the disorder (which is bad). I’ve seen people mention that they don’t like how medication changes your personality (which can be very strong) or generally just don’t like the feeling of being on it.

I’m not a doctor, but ADHD medication can increase your risk of suicide and other severe mental health issues, so there is good health reasons not to take it unless you “need” to. Everyone just seems to have a different definition of “need”.

Personally, for me and my decision not to take it, I felt it was important to learn to live how my body wanted me to. I never liked how i felt on the medication, and i wanted to be myself. Society is very focused on productivity, which can be hard for someone with ADHD to fit into. I wanted to learn how to fit myself into the world, so I could “succeed” and live a happy life (whatever that meant) without having any dependencies. I didn’t want a missed pill one morning or a drug shortage to impart my ability to live my life. That might mean that I don’t have the career I wish I could have, and I won’t live by others’ definition of success, and maybe I have to make conscious changes to my routine.
Like solar cell and battery material discoveries, there is an ocean of problems to overcome before the promising results flow into a product. Potentially decades of problems to solve.
Yes, sorry, it was a rhetorical question in response to previous.

Taking either step you suggest (along with robots.txt or eqiv.), it would seem fair to expect that Brave, Bing, whomever, would not feel it their neutral/natural domain to include in a public index.
It's actually really interesting, because it's nothing like that these days. Now, it's the Americans who are easily the loudest people in the room.
It only took 5+ minutes of poking around to figure out 1) it's not for MacOS, it's for Mac OSX, and 2) it's something different than the existing Cocoa OSX support that's apparently been around forever (since Emacs 23, apparently), but never seems to get around to clearly spelling out what that is.

I think the money quote is:

So if it [the Cocoa port]is good enough for you, then you don't need to try this.

I feel upset when I see stuff like this, because we are next in line.

You would think people would take it seriously and try to address it, but apparently the narrative is still "muh taxez" so nothing can be done except go on social media and say that climate change isn't real and all the magatards click like and subscribe.
I can't speak to the Genesis specifically, but in general software emulation introduces tiny inaccuracies, in the form of missed inputs (because of things like context switches - it's important to note that, while these old consoles were hilariously slow compared with modern hardware, they were single-threaded), slightly incorrect emulation speed, things like that.

For most people, myself included, this doesn't matter at all.

For people looking for an extremely "pure" original experience, this is the closest you can get to original hardware - which is getting both more expensive and lower quality with time.

For the competitive speedrunning scene, incorrect emulation speed is a non-starter in some categories, and dropped inputs are a huge problem when they happen.
UEFI+ACPI quirks is my guess.
SteamDeck proton experimental has worked flawlessly so far.
I'm assuming it would require a complete demolition of the frozen brain, recording the state of its cells and connections, then rebuilding that in some way, or running it in simulation. Not an easy task at all, but perhaps more believable than repairing the damned thing.

Somehow I see Elon Musk as the kind of person who's going to spring for this. Cryonics on Mars! At least it would save on life support costs there.
I believe multiple screens are possible, even on the M1 MBA, you just need a docking station. Officially some don't support multiple screens, but there are mainstream solutions to this in the form of docking stations, just not sure why Apple doesn't even so much as hint that it's possible. It's a really unclear process!

Everything else can be sacrificed as long as the line keeps going up (GDP, stock market, revenue, profit, share price - take your pick). No politician will risk doing anything that makes the line go down even if it boosts 'non line' metrics like happiness, health, social connections, free time, any environmental measures, home ownership, min wage)
> > Most people are rich ... because they made or did something that's valuable.

Value is determined by the people. I personally find Pokemon & MTG cards to be worthless, but other people do, and they're where that value is derived.

And to lobby your politicians to take controls and schedules off the stimulant medications used to treat ADHD. Stop voting for candidates without sensible drug policies.
Briggs is very good. I will always have his voice and cadence in my head for Vimes. I was very happy with the audio books, and sadly I can’t often say that. The Audible versions are of mixed audio quality, some pretty bad, which is strange.
To expand on that, as a security measure it allows a company to provide an encrypted tunnel and their own DNS to their internal network even if you're in a coffee shop.
> Is there remotely any reason to believe you could put their brain back together in a functioning way or that the connections are even still there cryopreserved like this

This is a well studied area, and there's good reason to believe the damage isn't unfixable/absolutely devastating to the brain structure. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22533424/ is a paper specifically on this.

I wrote about what I was doing here: https://eli.lipsitz.net/posts/internet-connected-pinball/#mo...

I needed to detect writes to a bus that could happen at 1MHz, which involved reading the state of the bus multiple times per microsecond (based on the timing of the various signals). The jitter in the worst case was multiple microseconds (causing missed accesses), no matter what I tried.

I wasn’t able to use DMA on the ESP32 to help— perhaps it could have if I had tried to massage the problem a little bit more though.
You liquefy H₂ for the density advantage, not for storage. You actually want to store hydrogen as a gas since it won't boil off.
yeah so dumb programmers that follow you can understand your code.
Yeah, if you have a high res image, you can get color info at super low-res and then regenerate the colors at high res with another model. (though this isn't an efficient approach at all)

i've also seen a controlnet do this.
DDG states the same, that they use multiple sources but it's largely just Bing.

Brave on the other hand is a totally independent index and while it's true that it depends on premium subscription, a paywall search engine cannot ever be mainstream or better than a free search engine that can optimize queries and search experience better.

Now, I know Google used to be like that but got worse but the point still stands, as long as the search engine isn't too bloated.
They'll probably dominate light cone traversal and pop into a perfectly recreated simulation whenever they want.

It's a quote from Matt Groening's "Life in Hell".
>we successfully verify and synthesize the LK-99 crystals which can be magnetically levitated with larger levitated angle than Sukbae Lee's sample at room temperature. It is expected to realize the true potential of room temperature, non-contact superconducting magnetic levitation in near future.

Aaaand we’re back!

I’m really trying to remain (reasonably, not ideologically) skeptical but if this is legit this is a huge step towards confirmation.
I think the point being made is that movies were made for the B&W end result, not just shooting color with B&W film.

For instance, fake blood in B&W was often produced with black liquid. Colorizing it correctly just doesn't make sense. Or a green or blue dress can be chosen because of the way it looks on film, not because it's supposed to BE a green or blue dress.
I think this applies to every operating system -- most people don't "choose" operating systems, they just use whatever came installed on the device.

Ahhh, thanks for explaining.
They started with a Firefox base but realized the shortcomings very soon. Then they tried electron but it too was not great. Then they switched to chromium and the rest is history.

Electrons are fluid. They can agglomerate wherever there's positive charge.
I don't think it's ridiculous that there is an electron configuration that permits H4 to exist.
Small Gods will always be my favourite (not least because I got mine signed by the man himself, many years ago in Dorchester. Though isn't the joke that he signed so many books that it's the unsigned ones that are more valuable?). For starters though, I'd pitch Wyrd Sisters or Guards! Guards! Both are wonderfully constructed, early, but late enough that he's stopped satirising fantasy novels and has started satirising the world.
Yes, it's not obvious that structural information suffices to reconstruct brain state, but it's not implausible either. We know brains survive periods of reduced activity, and they're stable over longer time periods than you'd expect if a ton of vital non-transient state was stored non-structurally.

I think resuscitation is ~implausible, but reconstruction seems logically feasible, just not with current day technology, nor obviously with high surety.
Haha... Nice ham-fisted non-sequiturial attempt to make the artists the privileged ones here. Who can and can't go to at school is irrelevant. My example clearly showed that you're understanding of the "economy of art" is not even close to representative. Commercial artists operate at all levels of society, all over the world, and have for a really long time. Nobody making beautiful hand-carved and painted signs for local businesses started out as an independent fine artist using signs as a medium, hoping to get their big break. They learned the arts of carvin, painting, lettering, illustration, and so forth, and the craft of making and finishing durable outdoor wooden structures, and started a career.

The utilitarian argument is only philosophically defensible in the street car scenario; when people are deliberately pulling the levers unprompted and it could have been done ethically but it wasn't because it was just to darned inconvenient and/or expensive, the greater good argument doesn't work. It's the same argument people used to defend the Tuskegee experiment and its ilk... And roman public slaves. If we're willingly throwing people into the spinning wheels of progress because it will be wonderfully convenient and neat for non-artists to use other people's skills instead, there is just no ethical defense. Knocking the stool of from under someone using a tool they built and you didn't even have permission to use is just not ethical. You and many others end up falling back on right-wing platitudes about the free market.

I'm actually a technical artist— my skills are now dramatically more valuable. That doesn't make it any more ethical even if it works on my favor.

I was a developer for 10 years, and have seen this unadulterated hubris in nearly every group of developers I've ever encountered— when you find yourself explaining someone's job and industry to them, you might want to stop and ask yourself... "Am I pulling a Dunning-Krueger right now?"
Think inference time was on the order of 4-5seconds per image on a v100, which you can rent for like .80 cents an hour, though you can get way better gpus like a100s for ~1.1 usd/h now. But ofc this is at 64px res in pixel space.

If you wanted to do this at high res, you would definitely use a latent diffusion model. The autoencoder is almost free to run, and reduces the dimensionality of high res images significantly, which makes it a lot cheaper to run the autoregressive diffusion model for multiple steps.
Korean scientists embody key cultural values: (Jeong) fosters deep bonds and commitment to their work; (In-gan-mi) encourages inherent honesty and sincerity; (Che-Myun) upholds honor, discouraging dishonesty; and Confucianism instills respect, loyalty, and duty. These values shape their dedication to research integrity and professional conduct.
I choose to believe!
I'm confused by the number of upvotes this article has. It's a mishmash of innuendos and barely-related facts. I thought Lithub was a better website than this.

As far as I can tell, the narrative of this article is "the CIA did some real-world tests of how harmless bacterial spores propagate in a real-world environment; they also did closed-lab tests of how harmful bacterial droplets for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever propagate in a controlled environment among monkeys; a botched chemical weapons experiment ended US offensive chemical and bio warfare research; then a specific researcher had some family troubles, the end." It appears to be structured to imply that an outbreak of tick-born illnesses in Long Island in 1968 is not a coincidence.

Maybe the full book is a different story, but this seems like pretty bad conspiracy theoretic stringing together of tangential things.

The first in the “witches” series is “Equal Rites”, but is, IIUC, considered a very weak entry. The rest of the witches series don’t really acknowledge the events in it, and they start off the next book with a blank slate, not assuming that you have read the first one. If you really just want to read the witches series, I’d suggest that you instead start with the second book, “Wyrd Sisters”.
It's got good macros and the implementation of both regular code and macros operate on the same core datastructures.

It has the interactive features for inspecting and modifying a running system that Lisps often have.

It has reflection APIs

Its ints are big like Lisp

Eichmann in Jerusalem – I (1963)
Yes we have made great progress with maternal and basic health, these are really great and represent real meaningful knowledge and capability gains. However, there are other health trends that are not looking very promising at the moment that take a bit of the shine off.

Poverty has some very definitional issues with the chosen metrics and I am hesitant to actually draw any conclusions on if it has brought net positive human fulfillment.

In any case the whole system is a pretty precarious place at the moment with rapidly closing windows to maintain stability, and if we don't those "stunning achievements" are going not going to persist in a meaningful way.
