I also have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and the anxiety increasing side-effects on stimulants made me into a gibbering wreck. My extreme reaction was part of what got me the OCD diagnosis as I was forced to come clean about some of the thought patterns I had been unwilling to discuss. I still believe I have ADHD as with appropriate therapy the OCD symptoms are largely gone, but the ADHD ones are not. I also have a number of other family members on my maternal side who have ADHD diagnosis or would have if they werern't from an older generation (most notably my mother, from whom I have learnt all the coping mechanisms that allow me to get by without meds). Complicating things further, my mother's side of the family has an abnormally high number of people with bipolar disorder, which is also understood to have a relationship to OCD. I am not bipolar however, and neither is my mother.

There is a strange psychology rabbit hole to go down with the inter-relation between the conditions. Each population is more likely to be diagnosed witht he other condition than the general populace -- yet our biochemical theories for how each works should make having both impossible. One is believed to be caused by too much dopamine, the other too little.

Related to this, after a first attempt at stimulants, I was given an anti-smoking medication that has off-label use as an ADHD treatment. It works by increasing dopamine levels. This was even worse than stimulants, but I wouldn't have called the effect as increasing the obsessive-compulsive symptoms, more I just felt very very stressed and about a hair-width from a breakdown for a week.

That must have been a strange job to do.
A late reply you'll probably never see, but while in theory that works, keep in mind that (at least for US Court systems), there is an evidentiary process that must be satisfied before any of that will be considered. The police have repeatedly been documented outright beating and murdering people with dozens of witnesses and even their own body camera footage -- very few have been punished in a meaningful way.

None of what you mentioned really changes anything about my statement -- if the court date for my arrest where I was brutally beaten by officers for no reason is 30 days out, it doesn't matter that I got a video on my iPhone and uploaded it to whatever social media -- I'm still in jail, I still got the crap beat out of me, it's unclear if the video will even be accepted as evidence, the police video footage will also be considered as will their testimony.

Again, it's not about the actual video files, its about the concept of what surveillance can do, who actually is empowered by it, and who is surveilling who; the fact that there are continued policy brutality/abuse incidents despite the ever-present surveillance from all things is pretty supportive of what I'm intending to convey; they are surveilled for sure, but because they have the power/are protected by those who control the surveillance, they act with impunity because they _know that the surveillance works for them_; that is the point, not that you _can_ surveil someone if you want.

Pine64 makes SBCs with the same goal as their PinePhones to get mainline Linux on them. That effort expands to many boards that use the same SoC. So the rk3399 used in the PinePhone. Their newer board uses rk3588 which isn't completely mainlined yet. But I think these are the best bet for software support.

If supply and demand don't set the number of surgeons, then who does?

Currently, the American Medical Association limits the number of new doctors being trained in medical school. The AMA judges this to be enough to attend to the population. The long working hours, high wages, and continuing shortage of doctors is direct evidence that their judgement is questionable.

Did tech fundamentals suddenly get sane or did the layoff train just stop at the AI hype station?

While I do believe AI (imho shorthand for LLMs and Diffusion models) has a lot of potential, it's main function has been to reignite irrational exuberance in the tech industry.

I work in this is space and I'm very curious how long the mania can hold out, and even more curious what the consequences will be for the people seriously working on AI when it dies down.

Layoff didn't stop because a correction had finally concluded, but because investors snorted another line of hype and were happy to throw their money around again and pretend everything is fine.

The come down from this, I suspect, will be pretty rough (but hey, if I'm wrong it's great for me).
In the world of high interest rates, companies like Snap that have not figured out a business model in the 10 yeas of their existence are not likely to survive. Not surprising. Unfortunately there will be more of these from Snap and the likes of it.

Mitchell's translation of part 50, in particular, has long resonated with me:

The Master gives himself up
to whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die,
and he has nothing left to hold on to:
no illusions in his mind,
no resistances in his body.
He doesn't think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep
after a good day's work.

He admits (in the end notes, If I remember correctly) that this is not a literal translation; but comparing it to translations that do stick more closely to the original text I find that there's a lot here I prefer.
My understanding is that exercise (of lack of) is significantly more important than diet.
It is my opinion as I have a functional moral framework and the ability to think for myself instead of blindly digesting government propaganda.

What I wonder is, how do you raise 100M before launch? Like, they can’t possibly have a 100M valuation. So do they just dilute like crazy or what?

It's not an irony.

How do you describe the taste of 'saltiness' to convey the sense of saltiness, if who you're writing to has no understanding of it?

That's the problem with written word. We can write all around, and try to help someone identify the moment the sense happens, but words are incapable of sharing the sense.

The writings about the Dao are so that those looking for it in real life can identify it when they think they find it. Just reading with no doing will never show you the Dao. They describe emotions and senses that writings can never convey.

How many companies will not enter the market because of Amazon's monopoly? How many products will never get invented because of the awareness of the system?

And even with this, with a monopoly it is not a race to the bottom. Once the monopoly is in place, you can raise the costs to whatever you want and the market has no choice but to grin and bear it or go without.

Monopolies are never good for the consumer.

Fairphone promises height years of upgrades (apparently thanks to a contract with Qualcomm which sucks less), compared to the usual 2 or 3 years max in the Android land.

So it's cost per year is probably smaller than other devices if you manage to keep it this long. It being repairable probably helps.

(I don't have a Fairphone, but if I had to buy an (Android) smartphone, I would seriously consider the Fairphone)
it works for all industrialized nations... but us.

the question is how much do we want to waste and how many should die?
Even electric cars driven by non-green electricity are massively better than ICE cars from an emissions standpoint for at least two reasons:

1. As non-green electricity sources are replaced by green electricity sources, those non-green EVs become green EVs with no action required on the part of their owners. To switch someone using an ICE to a green car you have to get them to buy a new car.

2. If you have to use a burning fuel power source, you can try to capture some of the emissions where the fuel is burned to reduce the environmental impact.

If you are burning the fuel in your car, that emissions capture has to be done at the car where you are quite limited in feasible weight and volume of your emissions capture equipment.

If you are burning the fuel in a big power plant and then distributing the energy as electricity to EVs you don't have weight limits and have much less restrictive size limits on your emissions capture equipment.

Going with Tesla fanboy opinions, Tesla will loose: Tesla factories are supposed to be so much more automated and productive, that employees per cars have to be much lower than Audi's. As a result the per capita accidents increase, unless of course Muskematics are different from normal calculus.
The first two paras I agree sound fairly likely.

Regarding the second para, the interesting part for me is: how do these companies determine which are the unproductive devs? My impression so far is that senior management has no way of measuring this, given how little data is provided to back up decisions to RTO.

Not so sure about the third para. Why would one company be more ahead of the game than any other, if indeed LLMs are providing this supposed boost?

If we didn't have an OS duopoly, we'd have a programming language duopoly, GUI library duopoly or something of that sort.

It's just not reasonable to expect every company to maintain more than two or three completely different versions of their apps, and most would vastly prefer to maintain just one, hence Electron and React Native.

It would be a constant incompatibility hell, and most code would be littered with #ifdefs and polyfills.

You can argue that companies producing software tools would specialize, so you would use Microsoft image editing tools on Windows, Foo's image editing tools on Amiga, Adobe's image editing tools on Mac etc, but that argument breaks down when it comes to banks, movie and music streaming companies, games etc.

I like Occam's razor as much as anyone, but it really is starting to seem like there might be more than one cause of the phenomenon called dark matter. My understanding is that WIMPs (weakly-interacting massive particles) are in trouble too, as the LHC has failed to produce them in the expected energy regimes.
None of that has anything to do with "moving fast and breaking things". Take away Musk's welfare and SpaceX and Tesla are out of business within a year.
I went through all the major platforms, and settled with something less enterprise-ey.

Windows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) gateway requires a lot of configuration across several services, but the overall experience is pretty good.

I used Kasm for a bit, but the integration with AzureAD authentication was flaky. It’s a pretty god platform overall though.

Guacamole is mature, but by Jove it’s a fickle thing to configure.

Now I just use a Remmina docker container, which is maintained by Kasm. I have a separate container to route a reverse proxy through to CloudFlare, which uses Azure AD for authentication. Now just go to rep.domain.com, login with AAD creds, and i’m presented with a basic remmina jump host where I can log into whatever VM or host.

It sounds janky, but it’s much more stable and much leas demanding from the administration side of things. It also works over HTTPS port 443, so it (usually) just works on guest wifi.

CloudFlare can also render VNC in the browser, but I didn’t find the experience great, and it just seemed wrong.
You're cherry-picking one statistic to judge Mao's leadership.

On its own merits, life expectancy is going to be difficult to evaluate China on during this period. Mao's government followed from both a disastrous Japanese invasion as well as a disastrous civil war. Wikipedia says Mao's policies were responsible for 40 to 80 million people dying. Do the life expectancy statistics account for that? How does that compare to the performance of Western governments during the same time period?
They do. The study is linked in the article and the definition is made within the study.

They are talking about any kind of non-simulated violence against a woman which includes common things like slapping or choking.
> Wouldn't it be nice if we could select one font for English and a different but matching font for Japanese?

That “matching” is what font designers do when they make a font with a large character set. Making a nice match is highly nontrivial.

I think you might be better of with a tool that makes it easy to merge fonts.
Okay.

I didn't know that law was so specific.

Sounds quite excessive for such an offence.
It wouldn't have to be the main explanation for dark matter though to still be a phenomena. I agree that the evidence is pretty clear that it's not the main driving factor.
Anecdotal experience but most of the people I've seen being fired in one of the big ones are senior people working in customer facing roles, where the expectation is that they will be replaced by AI and wishful thinking.

Newly hired people were more junior and cheaper than previous employees so it makes no sense to fire them.

I think it's more of a progression thing. The config file starts out pretty simple, enough where one of the text file formats is clearly the right solution and code is over-complex. But then it grows and grows, continuing to accumulate more depth and use more features of the format, and maybe some hacky extensions. At some point, it gets complex enough that, if you designed it from the start with that feature set, being code would obviously be the right solution. But now the transition over is hard to pull off, so it tends to get put off for longer than it should be.
Thankfully, that is being (slowly) addressed. It's been particularly successful around Loch an Eilein, very nicely visible from the lake.
And it's still grasping at straws. The idea of a PBH as planet 9 itself is somewhat sound, but this particular paper assumes not just a significant population of MACHO dark matter, but also an additional WIMP-like particle DM that would produce a detectable signal. Is it theoretically possible? Yes. Would it be amazing to find evidence for it? Of course. Is it likely to happen? No. And we probably won't get a conclusive answer to this either way until we can easily send probes outside the solar system or at least have enormous telescopes on the moon's surface. Until then this topic is mostly an easy path to publishing papers to get tenure.
> Would it not make more sense to use OpenAI LLMs to be hosted away from these device

The lag is annoying. I don’t remember Ive’s position on privacy, but shipping everything off to the cloud isn’t great for that.

There might be satisfaction in having a childlike AI running on device who can call grandma—or whatever-when it needs help. One could tune it to different levels of spontaneity (“that’s a Magpie, in case you’re interested”) and proactiveness (“I noticed a new restaurant nearby and you haven’t eaten all day, so I grabbed a placeholder reservation”) that shouldn’t require a lot of phoning home to the mothership.

For corporations, even their bad behavior is incidental to their goals. Corporation in a vacuum is a form of capital organization, typically used to provide some service for profit. Sure, if a corporation can e.g. buy a government (like United Fruit did), it will totally do that. However, it's incidental - if it couldn't it would do something else, so by setting up decent rules it is easy to make corporations do far more good than harm.

For unions in the vacuum though... if we assume no other workers exist and no innovation is possible, unions (at least, US-style unions) would have no reason to exist - company cannot replace workers, or between multiple companies it can only replace workers in a game of musical chairs, so all the workers individually would have great bargaining power.

An approximation: tech 5 years ago, maybe even now, I haven't interviewed recently.

So, the only/main reason unions need to exist is to protect the jobs of their members against (1) other workers, including immigrants (2) being obsoleted by innovation. That is not incidental to their goals, that is their whole goal. I find both of these incentives to be inherently evil (I am also self aware enough to know that while e.g. banning AI coding innovations, any further immigration of developers and outsourcing to boot would be amazing for my compensation, it's still evil)
Yes, it's gotten better.
This is probably due to a built-in preference in our minds for something we later started calling Occam's razor.

Obviously there must have been something that started it all, and if there were n+1 things at some time, there might have been n things before, leading to the conclusion that there must once have been 1 thing.

The fuel we're talking about isn't a really good gasoline alternative, anyways. Gasoline isn't mentioned in the article, except as an example of a very volatile, easily ignited fuel.
I think you're onto something. I recall that you do not form memories with things that you don't bond with. Hence why there are very few accounts of dreaming on cellphones. Time also isn't perceivable when we can't see the gradual change in physical properties. It's like a suburban life where you are at home, then you travel in a metal block, to then arrive at another room. But you're not doing the in between stuff.
But they don't actually murder people to make movies. When you watch Rambo are people actually being shot? Do you think they are actually torturing people to make extreme porn? Are people actually being whipped or is it just faked like professional wrestling in the United States?

But my point stands that they are probably using a very narrow definition to produce this extreme result like using a very narrow definition of consent or very wide definition of abuse such as mostly using verbal abuse to constitute abuse, which is hardly abuse if you are an paid actor and it isn't real.
