You’ll find that ADHD is a really hot topic at the moment. Everyone I know is getting diagnosed and the stigma is disappearing. It’s actually to the point that you will get cancelled if you question the “science”.
Good point and thought. I started this because of my ADHD built the product with a community of 50 ADHD-ers alongside us (not including the coaches and experts). We also do a lot of work in advocacy for adult ADHD, women x ADHD, BIPOC x ADHD, and more. Our mission is rooted in helping people with ADHD succeed, however if we happen to help others that's even better! I guess we're choosing the harder route.

If you don't get a timely response, try sending a follow-up or reminder message.

I've sent a lot of HN mod mail over the years, and usually get a response within a few hours. Occasionally a few days, during busy times, and on a very small handful of instances, an apology for missing or overlooking an email. I think all of those have occurred within 1--2 weeks tops.

I try to keep most correspondence short, sweet, single-focused, and direct. (Most of that concerns submissions: titles, URLs, or nominations to the 2nd chance pool.)

Occasionally I address more complex or difficult issues. Dang emailed me a few days ago noting that he's still meaning to reply to series on one topic (not pressing, though interesting). I'm aware that he's pressed and that there are more urgent priorities. But he does go out of his way to stay on top of things.

(I also owe him a reminder on another issue, also fairly minor, I'd raised a couple of months back.)

Keep in mind that mods are ingesting a firehose and that complicated or poorly-scoped questions or issues might be difficult to respond to. (This is a general principle to keep in mind when corresponding, not just for HN mods.)

Show HN: Collie – A minimal RSS reader just for you
Collie is a minimal RSS feed reader application running on your desktop. With Collie, you can subscribe to multiple RSS/Atom feeds to organize your own news feed, receive a real-time notification when a new item is added to the subscribed feed, and save the items to read again or later.

All you need is a local machine and the Internet. No virtual machine, no cloud infrastructures, no always-on database, and no account registration with privacy information required.

I've been getting tech news from HackerNews, Lobsters, etc. on Twitter (It's X now, but I'll keep calling it Twitter anyway), but many of them have been terminated due to changes in Twitter's API policy. I went from place to place: Bluesky, Mastodon, Slack, and newsletter. However, I couldn't settle anywhere. The social media services such as Bluesky and Mastodon had too many unnecessary features as news feed. Slack RSS was good to get the news in real-time, but the notifications mixed with other workspaces overwhelmed me. The newsletters gave me a lot of high-quality information, but not in real-time.

Then, I remembered Miniflux, the "minimalist and opinionated feed reader" that I had used past. This is the best option for my goal, but I had to pay for the hosted version or keep running docker machine on my local computer which did not have enough resources. Additionally, I didn't need a system that maintains multi-user sessions. Eventually, I had no choice but to create my own application, and that's why I made Collie, the minimal RSS reader just for me.
I didn't and wouldn't go that far. Logging in to a remote server with default credentials and wiping remote data after exfiltration would be a closer example to that than the ones I gave, and to answer the rhetorical question: no.

There's a big difference when you start talking about destruction of data for others, faking credentials in interactions with a third-party, and/or knowingly causing remote unavailability.

> There is this insane notion that if you can accomplish something in cyber space, then you are allowed to. That's not how society works.

What my previous comment is trying to challenge is the rules-for-thee-and-not-for-me dogma which means that publicly exposing private records of others on an unprotected S3 bucket is an oopsie-daisie while an individual doing a request for it risks ending up in jail.

gumby says >"I believe that the absurd “virgin” obsession in some cultures is an archaic holdover to try to avoid STDs."<

No shit, Sherlock!8-)) But to characterise this as an "absurd ...obsession" is wrongheaded.

Of course people don't want STDs!

STDs for the most part killed people (syphilis, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, et al). Only in the last century have we had antibiotics and only in the last 50 years antivirals. Were there a major war supplies of those drugs, along with the birth control pill, would dwindle or vanish.

STDs are a scourge b/c we have nothing to make them go away permanently. Maybe someday we will, but until then being a "virgin" has certain very real advantages.
> desoxyn are extremely rare to the point of being basically zero.

It's truly a shame, because from anecdotes I have read, it apparently works so much better and with less side-effects. But you are right, it's not very common. I've asked doctors about it before. Some have literally never heard of it (though they could be feigning ignorance). None have been open to the idea, and from what some have told me -- good luck getting insurance to cover it.

> I think it is irrelevant to this discussion because the fact of the matter is ADHD drugs just really aren’t the same thing as meth.

"ADHD drugs" are a very wide brush. There are 4 commonly used non-stimulants, for example, and a few others used off-label (Wellbutrin, Modafinil, etc..)

Adderall and its ever increasing array of delivery mechanisms are the most common ADHD medication(s). Hell, you can lump Dex in there too since it's 75% the same drug.

But as for the difference in effects between M. Amp. and Mixed Amp. Salts, even this psychiatrist doesn't think the difference is as profound as I am lead to believe you think:

These models work on a "latent" representation of the image, instead of working on the pixels directly. The model essentially learns a compression algorithm which allows it to process images most efficiently according to its loss function. The latent space might not represent certain types of shapes very well, as is the case with text characters.

Models like DeepFloyd IF work in pixel space, without learning a latent space. This means they can capture much more detail, but require more computational power. This is why these types of models usually rely on creating a smaller image and then using a separate model to upscale the image.
The Synology and QNAP web interfaces are very similar to this, they've definitely got traction.
My dream to-do app is a combination of some novel features plus the best ideas from other apps (TaskPaper, Notational Velocity, Drafts app, SimpleNote, etc...)

The overall concept is tasks, notes, and bookmarks are integrated together. As I do a task, I often want to take notes on that task. Some bookmarks can be tasks to read/share later.

- Plaintext-based interaction + graphical views (markdown, calendar/timeline, etc...)

- TaskPaper-style tags like @due(2023-10-10)

- Drafts-style actions on text

- Multiplatform/sync like SimpleNote

The novel features of my to-do app:

- Priority is just the due-date: I usually want to work first on tasks that are due earlier.

- Larger tasks are broken down into sub-tasks. Those sub-tasks can have earlier due dates, bumping up the "effective priority."

- "Effective Priority" is a dynamic tag: its value is based on the first of the parent's or children's due-dates.

I've been making prototypes of subsets of the features, like:

Everything has limitations. The linked piece is very much a statement about limited potential, not the current state. In this context, this stance is akin to saying "I asked a 6yo this math question and it gave me a wrong answer, there's definitely limitations". Sure – but who would use that observation to assess where the future potential cap of the kid is?

I'm using GTP-4 and it makes trivial errors all the time.

I asked it (actual names changed):

"I run the Linux command line program "foo". When I use the flags -xyz, I get results, but when I use -txyz I get nothing. What could this mean?"

And it told me: "The lack of results is because you didn't use the -t flag".

Or I ask it some very basic music theory questions and it gets stuff wrong all the time, giving impossible answers.

Definitely drug/alcohol. Among adults who have an alcohol use disorder, ADHD is 5-10 times more common (American Addiction Centers); Among children, children with ADHD are 2-3X more likely to abuse substances than kids in the general population. Other areas where folks with ADHD have pretty alarming stats: School (46% more expulsions), Healthcare (33% more ER visits, 3x more motor vehicle accidents), Home (3-5x more divorce). It's a really important problem that has far reaching impacts, where multiple solutions are necessary to make a sustained dent to improve the lives of people with ADHD!

SOTA Text to speech/voice cloning is scary good, but it's only available via SaaS like 11labs (perhaps just them).

One interesting weekend they allowed anyone to clone a voice (required only maybe 10-60s of audio) to say anything

I made Bob Ross read Neuromancer using 60 seconds of fuzzy audio from youtube, but 4chan made something like 20k fake audio recordings on vocaroo of everything horrible and hilarious you can think of. Then they shut that off for good reason on Monday.

There are some cool applications there. I watched an hour video about the talkshow wars between Leno and Conan and i couldn't figure out what the voice was but it sounded like a smart old guy, apparently it was a weird clone of Biden. Which means anyone can now make YouTube content with any kind of voice. Which is bad for impersonation, but good if, say, you don't like the sound of your voice and want to go for a different one (maybe an old timey radio broadcaster)

What definitely has become shittier is the quality of gpt4. But that's not an AI issue, that's OpenAI being OpenAI.

Interesting, I'd always thought the paywall workarounds were a terms of use violation.
If you have 1-2 engineers, then you have to build a product with a ruthlessly focused scope. Hopefully you do it well. If you have 20 engineers, then you have each one add new surface area each quarter, and then your app is 160 different things after a couple years. It's too bloated for anyone to like and it was too expensive to build to throw away. Sometimes it really needs to be that complicated, but I'm not sure adding 20% more engineering headcount indefinitely is sustainable for most businesses.
I think you got the wrong folks on the team to make this effective.

If there is no diagnosis required then why signal about ADHD?

The ADHD community, like many underserved populations, tends to be overrepresented in the prison population due to lack of accommodations and resources, along with stigma. There's a great deal of peer-reviewed research on the subject of ADHD and drug addiction. The overall gist is that people with ADHD are at higher risk for substance use disorders than their neurotypical counterparts due to several possible factors, including chronically low levels of dopamine and contextual factors like lack of resources and stigma.

Keep in mind that those numbers may be skewed based on how ADHD was diagnosed in the past. Only in the last few years have we started to see more traditionally "successful" people being diagnosed with ADHD, which is revealing that the percentage of the general population with ADHD is likely much higher than previously thought. ADHD was considered a "disease" that caused people to make trouble. That created a vicious cycle of stigma and punishment for those who had been diagnosed or expressed obvious symptoms. Meanwhile, lots of people with more subtle ADHD symptoms, stronger support systems, and greater privilege were never diagnosed at all. I'd take that 27% statistic with a big grain of salt, especially if it's coming from nootropics websites.
Despite neocon politicians visiting Ukraine over past decade (McCain Pence Nuland others), that country is not in NATO. In 1994 Ukraine was disarmed of Soviet nukes and was specifically set up as buffer between western Europe and Russia as part of that agreement. Since then NATO kept pushing east.

Consider what USA would do if China was arming Canada or Mexico and visiting those countries encouraging attacks on USA. As an actual example, consider the panic and fear in USA when Soviet missiles appeared in Cuba.

I'm disgusted by the wasted treasure of USA meddling in eastern Europe. Spend the funds at home.

Man, ExtJS was my jam back…almost a decade ago I really did have fun with it but more in a “how do I make it do what I want” problem solving way. At one point we had a PHP backend that would generate the Ext controls just how we wanted them by stringing a bunch of code into the JS packages because it was easier than writing/maintaining the JS itself. Don’t ask.

I think centers looking between their legs is only true for long-snappers hiking the ball to punters and place kickers. Otherwise, even for the shotgun, centers are looking ahead.
The analogy would hold if a single human could read all books and then be copied an infinite number of times with little effort and respond to an infinite number of prompts simultaneously. This is fundamentally different than the example of a single person reading books and being inspired by them to produce something. The scale is important and I see this lost in a lot of discussions.
> This is a fun one. @Dragon-Hatcher created a very unusual Rust program: a chess engine that computes things at compile time only using Rust’s Turing-complete trait system. (They also have a TypeScript version of the same program.) This causes vast numbers of trait obligations to be generated for the compiler’s trait solver. In this PR I made some small changes to a de-duplication step that runs on collections of these obligations, which reduced both the compile time and peak memory usage of this crate by almost 7x! It also gave icount wins of up to 4% across a number of secondary benchmarks.

By 4% which may as well be experimental error, right? The mice could have very well just lived longer due to increased interest/handling/measurement of their welfare.

Well if someone else was going to do it then I'm sure my brain would have been fine and there would have been no need for explosions.
