There is no evidence for functional neurological disorder, it is simply a hypothesis. As a diagnostic category it is essentially a "god of the gaps" construct. Remember also that the name is a re-branding of what used to be called conversion disorder (previously known as hysteria), that was found to be an acceptable term to patients.[1]

It's heavily published on and widely accepted as valid by neurologists, but that does not make it true.

The concept with FND is that there is no identifiable structural pathology, but that the neural circuits are dysfunctional, and that this can be fixed with things like cognitive behavioural therapy. This is typically framed to the patient as "the hardware is completely OK, there's just a problem with the software." (As most of this audience would recognise there is very little overlap between how brains work and how computers work.)

However, more advanced imaging techniques, such as 7T MRI are now showing structural abnormalities in these patients, which is a pretty fundamental problem for the above hypothesis. An attempt to rationalise this by FND proponents is made here.[2]

A recent example involves a 10yo child who developed a movement disorder following Covid.[3] Typically these would be diagnosed as functional movement disorder [4][5][6] and psychological therapy advised. However this group showed that in fact it was due to a neuroimmune pathology, with auto-antibodies forming that targeted some portion of the basal ganglia. The patient recovered completely with immunosuppression.

I will just point out that when my team and I talk about streaming, we are focused on not real-time because in many cases, the value to a customer is not there. Not every "streaming" use case is fraud detection. In fact, we have been saying for awhile that for many streaming use cases, the value is 60 seconds < [value here] < 60 minutes.

On the other hand, there are also a lot of Western expats who were very happy living in China for several years, but are leaving or have left China in the past 2-3 years due to the political changes taking place. China is a much more totalitarian nation today than it was 5 or 10 years ago.

> We want the cheapest possible power. What adds cost to solar power? Moving it from the array to another place.... Hydrogen distribution costs are also extremely high, but because Terraform is only using hydrogen as an immediate precursor we’re going to ignore distribution costs here.... by ~2040 ... nearly all grid electricity will be downstream of solar, providing energy to customers through parallel distribution networks of electricity, oil, and gas.

They should be able to trivially determine, after the fact, that the two accounts were using the same IP, even if not at the time. (Of course, that doesn’t _necessarily_ mean they’re the same person).
Maybe not, but frequently hiring a team that has accomplished a significant percentage of a goal is a better choice than trying to retask existing folks, or to grow a new product set outside of core competency.
That's an interesting take. Crackpots and overhyped layman being a dual of anti-science. What would we call that? Well, I guess we'd normally talk about that stuff as science fiction.
I think you misinterpreted what I meant. Yes I would prefer that my dates are in my preferred format, but if you are building an MVP, a Minimum Viable Product, spending precious time on getting localization implemented instead of your core features that deliver values to your customers is misguided. It would be like focusing on accessibility when you don't even have a single customer let alone a customer with a handicap.

Focus on value, everything else is fluff. When you have a few paying customers and that your product is now mostly proven then it's time to make it better.
Ah yes, I've been doing this with stdout.write since Python 2; it didn't occur to me that when Python 3 turned print into a function that would make it usable in lambdas!

You're right that the walrus makes assignment more usable; we can also call methods like .__setitem__ to get similar effects. Unfortunately the walrus seems to suffer the same broken/ambiguous scoping as assignment statements, e.g.

>>> a = 1
>>> b = lambda: (print(a), a := 2)
>>> b()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <lambda>
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'a' where it is not associated with a value

> Don't need return in a lambda

`return` is needed for early returns. Notice that my `abs` example is trying to do that with `return n` (to skip the `-1 *` operation, since `n` is non-negative in that case).

If I were King of NYC and had to fix this I'd cut the budget to 15k per student and use the balance on incentive pay. Think: 1-2k for an A, maybe 100 dollars for a good discussion on a book, couple grand for getting a 4 or 5 on an AP test - that kind of thing.

Quality education can likely be delivered for very little money. What I think we're missing is the motivation from the students, and young people are much easier to motivate with small amounts of money than adults.

Ah, indeed. Kind of a nothing-burger then if you ask me.
It's possible to extend the effective context window of many OSS models using various techniques. The Llama-related models and others there's a technique called "RoPE scaling" which allows you to run inference over a longer context window than the model was originally trained for. (This reddit post help highlight this fact: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/14lz7j5/ntkawar...)

But even at 100K, you do eventually run out of context. You would with 1M tokens too. 100K tokens is the new 64K of RAM, you're going to end up wanting more.

So techniques like RAG that others have mentioned are necessary in the end at some point, at least with models that look like they do today.

Mostly because React was yet another "we're so much simpler/uncomplicated than all that enterprisey Java" sale job (just like Rails was) and lo and behold, React went full enterprisely in like less than 12 months (at least it took Rails something like 3-4 years to get to full complexity, and Rails/Ruby contributed huge amounts of groundbreaking frameworks and idioms along the way).

Ah you’d pay the students - it might actually work.
You don’t have to look far. What happens when everyone can write a letter to the editor and have it instantaneously published? What happens when everyone has a handheld camera and can publish huge amounts of visual crud? Do we really savor a well taken photograph ie form or do we just look for the content. Does art remain art when the form is average and the content is either close to literally presented or just surrealistic? The enshittification of creativity and craftsmanship, perhaps? Mass produced content will undoubtedly lead to enshittification of the platform where these are published.

Imagine one could make an approximate clock that does not rely on batteries or similar things that can expire. How close would it need to be to the actual time to be useful? Does it have to be within a day, or could it be within a week or a month?
That isn't really backlog refinement though. That is when you start actually doing the task and you realize that plan A and plan B of how to implement the fix or whatever can't work, and fixing it will necessarily be much more time intensive and some sort of plan C or plan D. Often this happens when you go to start changing code and you see how badly the tests blow up on you or something like that.
I'm sorry but the 10M people of Los Angeles County with 3.5% of the GDP of the United States which if a country would put it between Poland and Switzerland would, on an open market for water, absolutely crush the ~100x fewer people who live around Mammoth Lakes, Owen's River, etc. We import ~800k (in 2018 it as ~750k, latest number I found) acre-feet of water a year to LA County via MWD, or 0.08 per person per year, or ~100m^3 per person. That's used to generate ~$72k of economic activity.

Alfalfa for instance uses ~0.4acre-feet per ton. Alfalfa prices haven't ever been higher than $300/ton. That means that if water cost more than $750/acre-foot, they'd be out of business on water cost alone. At that price, the average Angeleno would have to pay a shockingly high... $5/mo for all their water. Oh wait, no, that's less than 0.1% of GDP per capita in Los Angeles County.

The fact is urban dwellers don't use much water, and are enormously economically productive, much moreso than rural areas, and so in any kind of open market for water, the urbanites will win handily every time. The city will get it's water, no matter what, and the fairly economically unproductive areas will have to adapt. It's only through political interventions like silly "water rights" designed for the benefit of farmers that a city has to resort to more expensive sources.

The position is clear, but I don't think it's a valid position. If I, the user, want my dotfiles to exist per-app in $HOME, the way they have since I started using UNIX in the 1980s, I have no recourse. Not being able to configure the location of config files to the place they already were in the name of "user choice" is incoherent at best.

A fellow commenter pointed out that it makes excluding cache files from backups much easier. That is a great technical justification, which hilariously does not apply to vim, which by default drops swapfiles in pwd anyway.

I further reject the notion that this is something being "done to the user" by the software. Software is a tool of the user, refusing to learn how the tool works and pretending that the program you chose to execute is some kind of rude houseguest is just wheelspinning.
I too was missing the punchline of how they reduced the capital costs so much. The writing implied it was inevitable engineering, but the real world is seldom so simple.

Yeah. I would argue that he displayed some bad science of his own. He kept harping on about how the LK-99 paper didn't show resistivity going down to exactly zero, but had a residual resistivity. But that is exactly what you would have seen with a mixed phase sample with some superconductor and some normal material. It took proper scientific detective work to distinguish the possibilities, not this kind of silly snark.

>The paradox doesn't exist because the premise of the paradox, that tolerance of the intolerant inevitably results in the victory of the intolerant, isn't true.

The paradox doesn't apply to actors operating in good faith who simply disagree, but those whose intolerance extends to authoritarianism and violence in oppressing the free speech of their opponents, such as the Nazi regime that insipired it, and its truth seems self-evident. You'll have to explain to me how greater tolerance of the Nazis would have resulted in a better outcome for anyone (besides the Nazis) than intolerance of them in order to disprove the premise.
I do understand that, but currently my open source projects don't bring any monetary benefit at all, and my user base is too small to provide enough donation to support the development. So under this circumstance, any payment is way better than none payment. Plus, I also designed the system in such way that it allows me to vastly extend it's functionality based on the same base code. So in theory I could make a big enough feature-gap between the two.

> On top of that, your main audience consists of people who really prefer not to pay for software.

I thought about this as well. But doing a pure close sourced product is unlikely to cover these people too. Sure, making the product open source might convert some paying users away to use the open source version, but at least I earned the trust of these users (and hopefully made them happy), still not a bad out come from the open source perspective :)
The boiling point of lead is too high (1700 deg C) for it to be vapourised during soldering.

Rosin has a complex molecular structure that is too big to cross the blood-brain barrier.

It is a lung irritant and has an associated lung disease risk of the form of adult-onset asthma but it cannot cause brain cancer; there is no known link between rosin and any form lung cancer.

Most of us don't use rosin anymore, as it's an absolutely awful flux, synthetic fluxes are more effective and don't have the same risks - although it's probably too early to say on carcinogenic risks, but needless to say with many of us gen Xers having spent our lives using synthetic flux, we'd have expected to see cancer clusters by now.
