First of all, I'm glad people are trying to come up with assistive technologies for ADHD. I applaud anyone who actually makes something and puts it out there.

That said, a lot of "ADHD apps" are todo lists and planning apps. ADHD isn't a disorder of planning, it's a disorder of doing. I can make realistic, specific, achievable plans as well as anyone else, but when it comes to doing the work it often just doesn't happen. Literally yesterday I lost a freelance client purely due to my own procrastination. I had a sensible plan and didn't follow it.

I don't want to just slam this app or other existing apps, so in an effort to be constructive here are some spaces that I think could be explored further to help people with ADHD:

* Smart speakers. I use them heavily and they are a great distraction free computing device. "Fire and forget" reminders are great. I have a smart speaker in every room and can set a reminder to do something in 30 minutes time without having to move, find a pen, pick up a phone or distract myself in any way.

* Emotional regulation. ADHD means you are on a rollercoaster of emotions that you can't regulate well. There are techniques for controlling them but when you are blinded with rage or bursting into tears you don't remember. Perhaps a device could constantly asses your emotional state and remind you of regulation techniques right when you need them.

* Anything centered around positivity and forgiveness. An app that makes past successes visible without minimizing the impact of the disorder would be great.
Just getting the probes to connect reliably is tricky. depending on how large the superconducting features are it may be anywhere from just difficult to next to impossible to do accurately (for instance, if the size of the superconducting features is smaller than the probe size).
"Made today"? Probably not. "Still in operation today"? Definitely.

My company makes what is essentially an enterprise IoT device. I'd guesstimate 10% of networks with our hardware in them have no ipv6 support at all. And these are businesses that are on the more tech savvy side (I would assume, since they're ordering our stuff).
After 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic, can anyone find a standout reason why someone might want to transit into Manhattan to work in a highrise office tower?
Haha, i'm not exactly familiar with that medical terminology. But agreed, that's fair, comas do have known examples of recovery, this doesn't. It's more like the first ever comas.
Tilling the Collatz (Conjecture) Tree: A new approach
Every time people try to point this out, a less privileged Jewish person points out the less privileged Jewish people as if proof that nobody can see with their own eyes that, yes, there is also heavily disproportionate representation of Jewish people in an influential caste of US society

Why is that deflection the depth of the discussion, not everyone is trying to exclude Jewish people or start a pogrom over these observations, but the depth of the discussion seems more like a deflection just in case, and I dont think its that helpful

like, is there something other groups could learn, perhaps even the less privileged Jewish people?
It’s an ethnic group with an associated religion. I don’t know about race in the sense it’s used today, but it makes sense to disentangle it from White here given its wildly divergent pattern. That said, White here presumably still includes other populations originating in Asia and Africa that aren’t likely to be considered White colloquially.

I understand that few people use F-Droid and similar alternative app stores, but for those of us who do, it is the single biggest reason why Apple gets singled out. F-Droid still exists. I can still homebrew Android apps and run them.

Would I prefer if there was a truly FOSS mobile operating system? Yes. But life is what it is and I'll take the /option/ to use F-Droid over only having the App Store any day.

You mean you change your IP to a US IP to watch shows/movies in a non-US country? I think Hulu & Netflix can detect VPNs and restrict access. I just use a SOCKS5 proxy with a high reputation score.
> I'm baffled as to why you would assume that people who hold beliefs different from your own would raise their children without leaning upon the very effective "shaming" mechanism.

It isn't an assumption, it is my observation. Those examples are types of people that typically (not always) know they are causing harm and even by their own standards their actions are immoral. The nuances of individual's beliefs matter, just not for my brief example. But also, these nuances end up being mental gymanstics created as a result of cognitive dissonance and self deception, to avoid self-confrontation that might result out of shame.

> You label all Republicans as "Trumpists" because they didn't vote for Biden. Give me a fucking break. Even the "Bidenists" aren't happy with Biden.

I did nor label all republicans anything but trumpists are either sociopaths or shameless people. Knowing the objectively observable acte of that man, you would have to create so many excuses and claim every fact before you as a conspiracy or "fake news" to avoid feeling shame for supporting him. Republicans as a whole (democrarts too in their own way) are quite the shameless insidious bunch, either willfully ignorant or intentionally malicious to their fellow man. Keep in mind, I am judging people here based on my own beliefs, but my argument is that any reasonable moral system (especially Christianity) that the people i listed hold agrees with my belief.

There are things, like cruelty for the sake of it or tormenting children that just don't give you any gray middle ground for excuses so you have to challenge reality and facts to allow your behavior to continue without shame.

> You are the one who should be ashamed, but you know all about that, right? Maybe you should take a break from trying to save everyone else, and talk to a therapist about your savior complex. You might discover that you need some saving yourself.

You don't know anything about me but yes, in my own way I have my own mountains of shame, I hope I am not being shameless about anything I did wrong. I am not saving anyone else, I only mentioned those groups you objected to because they cause harm to me or people i care about without feeling shame, I am merely reducing harm and danger to me and mine. Anyone that claims they don't need saving are too busy digging a hole they can't climb out of.
Thanks, can I scream my hype out, now?

Wow, you have the entirety of the world ecosystem, from deep ocean currents and biology, to the entire 70% of the world's surface oceans, to the jungle rainforests, arctic/antarctic ice, atmospheric changes, solar radiation variation, historical records, 100% accurate computer simulations/predictors, all nailed down?

All the interaction of species, effects of (mass) extinctions? Invasive species? Habitat destruction, soil loss from farming, AND you can predict the impacts of human industry, economics, and technology change?

You have ALL THAT NAILED DOWN, internet expert?

Forgive me if I don't take your assurances about that as being "no big deal" with any iota of reliability.

There are literally 20 major scientific domains that all are in lockstep agreement about anthropogenic global warming, from geologists, atmospheric scientists, basic chemistry and physics, oceanographers, biologists, archaeologists, historians. A massive collection of scientific inquiry that basically all ends at the same conclusions. It's quite literally thousands of PhDs, maybe tens of thousands.

Of course, all of them don't know as much as you, internet guy.
The Jewish people are an ethnic group, one that has survived for thousands of years of persecution and murder.

So if you could maybe not start with a semantic argument about how the Holocaust wasn't "actually" a genocide, that would be fantastic. Thanks.
Fixed, thank you. I swear typing on my phone has gotten worse in the last two months.

iOS 17 is supposed to be much better. It’s like my phone knows it’s coming and is punishing me while it still has the chance.

I’ve never been so tempted to put a beta on my daily driver.
> The biggest polluter isn't the US. Most of it comes from China because they don't give a damn, and a lot if it can be addressed by making physical goods last longer and be more repairable.

The fact people say these sort of things with a straight face without any context is why we will never get anywhere

Well, yes.

There's only two generally available phone platforms and they both collude to take a 30% cut, so avoid that cut amounts to getting exculded from the largest computing platform used worldwide (except China)
Any parent who waited months and months and months after getting their own vaccine before they could vaccinate their own kids against COVID-19 has first-hand experience with this. If ever there was a time to be more slightly more innovative about the approval regime, a widespread active pandemic was it. The FDA failed completely on that dimension and millions of kids paid for it in various ways, especially for a vaccine which is ex post completely safe and even at the time was obviously safe.
Those were people I strongly believe avoid shame. They cal everything fake news or a conspiracy. Every racist these days goes "i am not a racist? But..." these days lol.

They are very proud of their ways and proudly defend their self-deception.
I just searched for Microsoft Teams in the Play Store and there were no imposters in the search results. Searched for just "Teams" and again, no app trying to masquerade as MS Teams was in the results.

You could download cracked games but you can't install them without enabling third party apk installs. Grandma isn't likely to do that.

Same for any random webpage that pushes an apk.
Primitive Technology: Wood Ash Insulated Furnace [video]
Heating the cabin was a known problem with older Teslas, especially because resistive heating reduced range significantly. Newer Teslas use heat pumps which are much more efficient.
I vaguely remember nuitka or pyinstaller being able to handle this for me, but I used vms or qemu to build them "natively" for each target platform. Never found a way to solve cross compiling.
In fairness, that later one I would quite like to know. I've accidentally bought a game I already had access to at least once!
Only after the Activision acquisition goes through, they need to pretend they're friendly for a bit.
This can take a while. With the current fabrication process, they're only getting a chunk with LK-99 particles sprinkled in. Since nobody yet knows how to fabricate a pure chunk of LK-99, it'll be hard to measure the true resistance of LK-99.
They got about 50 degrees C, but note that the bulk sample and the more pure tiny sample are different.

It definitely contributes to the general feel that however this works, it's an inefficient synthesis that's problematically generating the material we want.

It certainly makes me wonder if something like molecular-beam epitaxy would be able to directly grow a more pure sample (but I imagine that's expensive and time-consuming to setup, plus not really what we're hoping for if we want to use lots of it).
Ask HN: Has anyone noticed Hacker News changed its logo to SVG format?
The link to the Hackernews logo is here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/y18.svg

It used to be a GIF file. I really like when you zoom in it doesn't get all distorted since it's vector format.

Anyone else notice this new change?
But when you think of people and governments, the range of beliefs and behavioral choices is enormous. Certainly some people and some societies and governments have more of (whatever it is) than others, if it is the capacity to prioritize long-term, multigenerational self-preservation and quality of life over short-term gains. Money, in the purest sense as a means of exchange, isn't the culprit; the trouble is the culture that (a) generates wealth via extraction and (b) wastes it on immediate consumption, rather than investing in a sustainable future. I'd even argue that "money" is a red herring. What we're really paperclipping is mostly-disposable stuff. In the long term, we'll probably be remember for being really good at turning a deep geological layer of carbon into a shallower one of plastic. But it's worth saying that we are 7 billion or so individuals capable of making decisions, with vastly different aims and priorities, rather than one monolithic thing obsessed with a particular shiny object.
I didn't say I don't like those people, I said i believe they feel guilt yet avoid shame by using flawed reasoning and self deception. Those were just examples i thought would help sell my point to the HN crowd.
By the time I got around to booting "backup" discs in that system, it could be done just with a dongle (like a GameShark type thing, maybe? Can't remember) although unlike a soldered-in mod chip, it required booting with any genuine game and quickly swapping to any copy of another game, using a spring to defeat the lid sensor thus avoiding a subsequent check for a genuine disc.

Not quite as convenient, but lack of invasive mod was the tradeoff.
Yea that was peculiar. Could possible be that those in a position that r forced to optimize for money, which saps the enjoyment/fulfillment out of it
Indirection is not an abstraction.

An abstraction creates a new language, a new semantic layer, that has a precise definition. You can express laws and properties from its definition. This lets you think in the new semantic layer without thinking about the lower levels of complexity.

But yes… the pattern class problem is real. a good number of us have all done it once or twice.
Was listening to this podcast about netstates and FDA and just general regulations. The guest is clearly align against regulation at large but does raise several strong points about structural risks and abuses by the FDA. It's really long but lex is a great host

One advantage of having blown through the warranty on my Tesla already!

On the other hand, I don't think my car has any unlocked features I want. I mean, I didn't pay for FSD / Autopilot but I'm not sure I'd use either.

There is evidence of "Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome" [1].

> Several recent studies suggest that B. burgdorferi may persist in animals after antibiotic therapy.

There's also evidence that the standard Lyme treatment increases the "round bodies" form of the bacteria [2].

That being said, there's still a lot of shysters who, as you say, push long-term antibiotics or diagnose patients with "Lyme disease," despite not having evidence.

The CDC recognizes the existence of "Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome," but highlights that long-term antibiotics aren't a good solution [3].

Electron microscopy might not work. The moving electrons in the SEM or STEM would create a magnetic field that is opposed by the material, and the opposing magnetic field would affect the electrons and probably destroy any possibility of imaging.
> But it totally backfired ... and any investigation into the darkside of the church was likely delayed for a decade or more.

That is completely debunked by the facts and a very bonkers statement. It provided survivors with a sympathetic voice that helped many of them come forward, especially in Ireland. Please get your facts in order before making such an egregious statement.
I would argue the we won't get anywhere because the real biggest sources of pollution have billion-dollar businesses behind them, that employ armies of lawyers, lobbyists and PR people. And they have been successfully redirecting the public attention into performative, but effectively useless forms that do not pose a threat to their bottom line.
I don't think I understand your question.

The customer can be receiving extra hardware and still be paying a cheaper price due to the assembly line efficiencies you mentioned, as well as the support costs of having just one new car model every year instead of 10 slightly different car models every year.

In other words, the additional hardware costs might be lower than the other cost reductions due to the increased efficiency.

Furthermore, even if the customer is paying exactly the same as before for the car (but now they are getting additional hardware which they can't use), it would be cheaper and much easier for these customers to upgrade their car if they so choose.

This would also mean higher profits for the car manufacturers, which allows them to reduce the initial purchase price of the cars to compete more effectively in the market.

And if it turns out that the car is more expensive due to having to buy the additional hardware, since these customers are price-sensitive they can just go to a competitor who would sell them a car without the additional hardware, therefore cheaper.

EDIT:

> Again, pardon my ignorance, but it feels disingenuous to call it "an upgrade" if the car already has the equipment, especially to be charged more to use what you've already paid for.

Perhaps that's because you're only considering the cost of the hardware and not all the other costs of producing and supporting all the different car models for every combination of hardware features each customer would choose?

I mean, yeah, sure, car companies could just sell a car with all the hardware features enabled and charge all customers the same, but then the price of the cars would be higher for those who don't need all those features, as the company wouldn't be able to charge higher prices for premium customers to subsidize the cars for the "poorer" customers.
I'm not too familiar with this space. Could someone explain how big of an impact to the world this discovery is? What does the future of this technology look like over the next 5 years?
You're not getting it. The Mars probe didn't crash because of bad unit conversion. It crashed because there were no units in the data!!!

Go read about it yourself. NASA got some data from a contractor. The data had no units at all. The contractor assumed the data to be in some kind of US-standard units. NASA got these raw numbers and assumed they were in some kind of SI units.

Having enforced units in your language isn't going to help in this situation at all. They weren't exchanging code, they were exchanging raw data, or more specifically, a table with a bunch of numbers on it. The people at NASA simply assumed some units (instead of calling the contractor and asking), and they would have done this in your scenario too.

So, these folks replicated the material and it does highly unusual things, is that right ? It had seemed the fabrication process was still very dodgy and unreliable, this team got it to work independently?
If it allows a smaller and cheaper battery (hopefully in the longer term, less size = less expense) then it should make lower capacity small city EV runabouts more attractive. Right now the price floor is unattractive.

Many households have two cars, one for errands and one for work/travel, so if that's true it helps on both accounts.

I've heard about this effect with TDAP and the Shingles vaccine. I wonder what's the mechanism.
I use pyenv myself, but that is beside the point. The two examples above are using different strategies to install python3 versus pypy. A valid comparison would use a package manager for both or pyenv for both.
The way I read that article is that the drought caused by the heat is what is killing the cacti, not the heat itself. They need a chance to absorb water and recuperate at some point.
I've been trying out Firefox on MacOS this week. Been using Chrome since ~2009, Firefox before that. Here are some annoyances so far:

- No download bar to show actual downloads (downloaded files are hidden under a menu icon)

- No built-in page translate

- Search: is in bottom left rather than top-right which is pretty standard in most UIs.

- Search: would be nice if "Highlight All" were on by default (though it's caused me problems on Chrome with large documents so I can see off by default having some advantage.)

- Search: most of those options should probably be hidden under "advanced" or some expandable menu.

- I don't like the scrolling tab view where I can only see less than 10 tabs at once. I'd rather they get really tiny like on Chrome rather than totally hidden. Otherwise it's unclear to me at a glance how many tabs I have open.

- Youtube seems to have higher CPU usage compared to chrome (at least on MacOS x86, non-fullscreen)

- Tabs are too easy to mute and seem less intuitive which ones are playing.

- Dev tools doesn't have the “lighthouse” audit tool.

- Would be nice if cmd+shift+n shortcut matched webkit/blink behavior. I'm slowly learning to use cmd+shift+p instead, but being consistent with all the other browsers would be nice.
As with ever other nuclear energy proponent, there’s not much thought put into anything but electricity generation. But that’s just one part of the battle.

The only comprehensive net zero carbon plan I’ve seen, that involves significant nuclear power and is cheaper than just going all-in on renewables, involve a very high amount of carbon capture and storage. Thats not a sustainable plan and just yet another debt for our descendants to deal with.

The plans for 100% renewables does require more investments in battery and energy storage technology/infrastructure, yes. Some of the technologies we need don’t quite exist yet (though that goes for CCS too). But there is simply no viable path to net carbon neutrality without that. You can’t run your car on a nuclear reactor.

If you make a comprehensive plan that includes things like transportation, steel production, fertiliser production, etc, then it’s easy to see that it makes much more sense to just focus on renewables. There are for more synergies in the technologies we have to develop to go all-in on renewables and every other technology we need to get to net carbon neutrality.
Why is the non-Jewish white demo so under-represented everywhere but Dartmouth?
The specific set of symptoms and the diagnosis they would lead to according to the DSM, are in fact rooted in a set of interconnected structural neurological differences in the prefrontal cortex.

The ability to recognise when someone might be thirsty, doesn't mean dehydration no longer exists. They go together.
At this point, even if this doesn’t turn out to be the holy grail this seems like it would still be a very big step/promising avenue for research on the path right?
326K (+127 deg F) and 340K (+152 deg F) for their less and more pure samples respectively. And, yes, if it's a superconductor as we understand them, that's the temperature at which it would have zero resistance as well.
I think that problem would be promptly fixed by more informative settings, the kind with context and a recommendation.
