Try to join support groups or socialize with other people who are also neurodivergent so you have more perspective. You aren't as alone or different as you might think once you start interacting with people who are similar to you. They might also have more life experience in trying to do what you are seeking out to do which is very helpful.

It's kind of like a sanity check on your own perspective of reality.

There's questionable reporting in some parts of the article which makes me doubt how seriously I should take the rest of it. Case in point with the concept of moisturizer adding moisture. While the name implies that that's what it does, it actually prevents moisture your body provides from escaping, it doesn't add any moisture that isn't already there. While the end result may seem similar, it isn't, for example you can't keep adding moisturizer to get more and more moisture, you're capped by what your body provides.
> Teslas have crashed when cameras were blinded by the sun. Now throw in snow, rain, dust…

I used to think the more sensors the better, but after listening to George Hotz talk about it I can see the logic of focusing on ambient spectrum in visual and near range. Of course, he will talk up his approach as best, but here it is as best as I recall:

1. more sensors ~= more signal
2. more sensors means
a. longer processing pipeline for fusing data streams (timing, registration)
b. more software, thus more surface area for defects
c. decisions about response when 1 sensor modality fails
3. visual range spectrum is
a. well adapted for environment
b. has inexpensive and high quality sensors
c. sufficient for humans so is sufficient to get to human-like driving by a computer

The answer to blocked cameras is:

1. to have protocols to slow down and stop gracefully
2. maintain enough of a spatial model of the vehicle surroundings to perform the above (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, SLAM)

Both of the above are basically what humans do.
I used Copilot for several months and there were times when I was “wow”ed and others where it’s just got in the way.

I recently decided to make my editor much more minimal and even went so far as to disable autocomplete entirely. So far I haven’t noticed a reduction in my productivity and actually find it much easier to think about what I’m writing since I’m not having to correct autocomplete and Copilot all the time. All the extra things popping up on the screen were really distracting and I find that for me, a minimal approach gives me more space to think deeply.

Honestly. In a world in which JavaScript is the number one language, I’m walking back on the idea that “instability means no good for production”.

10 years ago, I thought for sure that JavaScript devs were eventually going to get sick of breaking and deprecating changes, but they’re still going strong with picking frameworks that just don’t give a shit, switching to new breaking tool chains, etc.

It seems that there are A LOT of developers willing to put up with a whole lot more than I am.
That book Code, by Charles Petzold, is good. It starts talking about the development of switches and relays, then logic gates, then how to add and subtract with logic gates, build memory from logic gates, then about the first integrated circuits from the mid-1970's, the 8080, and I don't remember what else.

It's more computing focused that electronics focused, but it's a great entrypoint for learning about how logic gates translate into an algorithmic unit and memory.

If apes did evolve outside of Africa, why did they not radiate across Asia ? Getting over to East Asia would have been far more easier than migrating into Africa and continue evolving there after disappearing from Europe. Yes I know about orangutans, but I would think after 7 million years there would be more diversity of Apes in Asia than Africa.

So I really find this hard to believe. All I can think is more fossils in the now dry environment of Türkiye probably survived than the humid areas of Africa.

Honestly first pick the programming language you are most comfortable writing the project in and then pick the most popular web framework in that language. If this is your first non-trivial web project you're doing on your own, you have enough things to worry about getting right that you don't need the added overhead of learning a new language or dealing with an obscure or badly documented framework.
Some analysts say the situation is (was) more nuanced: Prigozhin was pro-Putin but anti-MOD. His intention was to replace the MOD, claim their resources and fight in lieu thereof, for Putin. The article also hints at that.

Clearly the research team at Meta knows the domain as well anybody, has access to a data trove as large as anybody and their distribution capability is as large scale as anyone's.

If their choice right now is not to try to overtly monetize these capabilities but instead commoditize and "democratize" what others are offering it suggests they think that a proprietary monetization route is not available to them. In other words they do not leave money on the table. They think that (at least right now) there is no money on the table that they can get to.

Rather than remaining quiet and isolated, the best alternative - their conjectured thinking goes - is to show up as they do, buying up good will with various stakeholders, maintaining mindshare internally and externally etc.

Assuming that the above reading is correct it still leaves various options as to why they may have come to that conclusion: For example reasoning about the future of this sector they might be thinking that there is no real technical moat and they simply accelerate that reality to gain some brownie points.

It may be also idiosyncratic reasons specific to their own business model (data privacy challenges and how any AI monetization will mesh with all that). The drawback of being the elephant in the room is that there is not much room to move.

The nature of their long game depends on which of the decision branches carries more weight. Maybe it is wait-and-see until others clear up the regulatory hurdles. Or keep the engines running until the real and irreducible added value of LLM algos and the like becomes clear.

I've read a little bit about life on ships during the age of sail.

One common theme is that the enlisted men's lives are basically thought of much like the wooden planks: Not at all, and if so, only when it's affected the mission, in which case it's beaten back into shape. The sleeping quarters and conditions, the rations, the toilets, etc, all just terrible. Officers had it a smidge better at that time.

Navies are very traditional things. They do things like they always have. Mostly that's because the sea is so dangerous and these methods are tried and tested. But also, that's kinda just the way they are.

So, my null hypothesis is that modern navies, being very traditional, just don't really care all that much about enlisted men.

I would love to be told off here so I can update my priors. If any servicepersons are on HN and would liek to rip me a new one about life aboard a ship, please do!
> We also support wheelchair access to places

As of very recently (9/2021), less than a third of MTA stations were wheelchair accessible. I realize I'm nitpicking your point, but I'm illustrating how awful we are at implementing any of these ideals because we are a selfish society.

> It is an accessibility issue caused by arguably unnecessary dependencies on tech being asserted

I disagree. While the additions may be unnecessary from the point of view that things worked beforehand, technology has increased accessibility for nearly all aspects of life. I think that the benefit greatly outweighs concerns about people who don't yet have access to a smartphone (which is the primary limitation here, right?). Considering how disposable they have become, how ubiquitous wi-fi is, and how vastly $10 smartphones are traded around the globe, I don't see a financial limitation here.
Deterrence works broadly across a population.

If a suicidally insane leader ordered a broad first strike nuclear attack, every officer and soldier involved with executing those orders would understand, individually, the retaliation they would create against themselves, their friends, and their families.

I’m not saying it’s perfect, and I agree that the world would be way safer if zero nuclear weapons were on standby status.

My point is just that the concept of deterrence is ultimately based on the self-interest of the many many people who make up a nation and its military forces. Not just a few leaders.
I think in this case the poor option is using Ryanair at all.

It does. The English I was taught in school, includes the diaeresis as part of the writing system. Words like coördinate, reëngage, Boötes, are spelled as I just spelled them.

I don't adhere to it. It is old-fashioned, even a bit archaic. But it is still the preferred spelling in some style guides, and it is still used in some publications.

> Currently Windows 7 and 8 are listed as Tier 1 supported platforms. However, this has not been true for a long long time. We simply do not have the testing infrastructure. And with so much software now abandoning Windows 7 and 8 (everything from Git to Go to every major browser), continuing to provide the little support that we do is only getting more difficult. There is also a lack of vendor support for these targets.

The main effect is to split out Windows 7 and Windows 8 as their own targets, such that

And thus

> Individuals or organisation(s) who can commit to providing some level of legacy testing and support should go through the normal process for creating new targets.

I've been using this or something similar internally for months and love it. The thing that gets downright spooky is the comments believe it or not. I'll have some method with a short variable name in a larger program and not only does it often suggest a pretty good snippet of code the comments will be correct and explain what the intent behind the code is. It's just a LLM but you really start to get the feeling the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
It's the new official spelling, but with an umlaut it doesn't qualify as an english spelling.

Interesting name choice
Kotlin doesn't get enough love. It gets derided by some Java developers for being too cutesy and sugary and it's not talked much about by the kinds of people who love to talk about Haskell, Lisp or Rust (no shade to these languages), but to me it's the most pragmatic language I've used so far.

TBH, the vast majority of most art looks uninspired - Sturgeon's Law applies to everything. Looking at the tag on Twitter or Instagram, a lot of AI art already looks better (or at least not much worse) than what you would find on Artgram[0] or Cara.app[1] (which I picked as communities which have banned AI art altogether) and certainly not "abysmal."

...counting fingers notwithstanding. And how much of AI art is anime porn. So, so much anime porn. So many Asukas JFC.

The argument that the quality of AI art is categorically worse than non-AI art is starting to come off as copium, TBH. Like, it isn't. If it were, no one would be worried about it.

Not that it's a big deal, but Türkiye uses the ü, and autocorrect and spell checkers don't seem to have made the switch yet so it does require some extra effort to type or copy paste. It seem like the use of Mumbai hasn't even been universally adopted in India, so I'd expect Türkiye to take some time.
Really? Just write it in your native language (Welsh in this case) and have someone translate it. For most languages, not a big problem and the uni surely has the resources to do it. Here, the additional effort is the creation of the Welsh words that don't exist and maintaining the list for a Welsh to English translator.

Harris practices meditation religiously in the same way that professional athletes train religiously.

The difference is that people don’t conclude that one must become a religious person to become an athlete.

Describing training as religious evokes a definition of the word that has nothing to do with:

> 1. Having or showing belief in and reverence for God or a deity.

> 2. Of, concerned with, or teaching religion.

Meditation is often (incorrectly) explicitly associated with religion and religiosity, which are orthogonal to a “religious” dedication to the practice, a practice that requires no adherence to religious ideas.

I’m only splitting hairs here because the idea that there’s a religious connection remains pretty prevalent, and is a major misconception.

Functional programming is not really a single paradigm. In particular lisps and ML style languages are very different and you should try both. Scala is still a C-style language at heart, it's just much further along the borrowing ML features path than most.

I'm not super familiar with the contemporary lisp landscape but scheme is the traditional choice for teaching.

Among MLs I would definitely pick Haskell.
Yeah and having 600k high quality lidar points is better than having 40 million noisy stereo points. Honestly their depth map is so full of holes and artifacts, despite the fact that a depth map is the easiest way to hide poor quality (since range inaccuracies only manifest as subtle hue changes).

Also not sure why they picked a 600k points per second lidar instead of a 3 million point per second one like an Ouster 128 beam one.

Sleep in the Basement
The suggestion I responded to was that humans turn off their "lizard brain" and to stop thinking about their coworkers in any sort of sexual way. Obviously making "rape lists" is very far over the line and should not be tolerated (who said otherwise?!) but to ban people from even thinking about their coworkers in a sexual way is patently absurd. We're humans, you would have to chemically neuter people to accomplish that goal.
Those are quasars (supermassive black holes), not pulsars (neutron stars).
They are not pulsing, they have variations.

Anyway, meter and second are defined as fraction of c, which ruins any discussion about variability of time or distance, because we are talking about c instead.

However, when we are talking about variable time, we need to talk about variable size too. If distant quasar was 5x slower, then it must be 5x larger.
That doesn't make any sense. You have ownership over your face and likeness, hence stuff published in your name (or using your face) without your permission can be called "non consensual". This doesn't translate to the code you write. The most one can say is that they are violating your copyright, which is already heavily discussed every day in the context of generative AI.
For obvious reasons, this is hard to do some kind of rigorous double-blind study, but the theory tends to be that this may enhance these urges rather than satisfying them.

I don't know those exact cases, I'll grant you that. It was fairly lazy googling in my part.

However, the cases that I do know of are the food pyramid recommending the vast majority of your caloric intake to be processed carbohydrates, lobotomy as a treatment for mental illness, and the case of David Reimer, who was raised as a girl following a botched circumsicion. Then there's thing like the missaligned incentives between sales reps and doctors leading to hundreds of thousands becoming addicted to OxyContin.

We act as though doctors and scientists are above some standard, and some even believe they follow a falsifiability principle, but there are cases - childbirth being one of them - where a common sense approach that tells you not to follow recommendations might actually be the right thing. It's a fine line, but we should have open conversations about the fallibility of science. Often, and in the comment that I was responding to, the implication is: science says it so it is correct. That's simply not the case.
Ask HN: Recommendations for developer productivity monitoring tools
Hi HN, I'm seeking recommendations for productivity monitoring tools for developers. I'm looking for:

* Can automatically summarize daily activities (even approximately) in a way that can be cross-check against daily standup reports

* Can accurately differentiate code-writing time, non-code-writing time, and idle time

* Allow realtime check-in of the display (screenshots etc.)

* Per-seat subscription model OK
