>Conflating ADHD and Autism

The diagnostic overlap the two is quite striking and I’ve heard people seriously suggest that not only should the two be conflated, but that the two are the same thing. Realistically ADHD and Autism are arbitrary social constructs only loosely linked to biological reality popularized by the ICD and DSM and behaviourism, and I don’t find the unquestionable biological reality of ADHD -or- Autism all that convincing. One of the more interesting attempts at rethinking how we categorize people is this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Domain_Criteria

>weak ADHD overdiagnosis

ADHD diagnosis is used to gatekeep methylphenidate and amphetamine access, and I think making those drugs more freely available would be helpful, so I have little issue with rising ADHD diagnosis. I do question the wisdom of forcing people to go to a doctor and convincing them to label them as “disordered” if they want access to drugs they find helpful, but that’s the system we have.

Autism overdiagnosis I take more issue with because there are limited effacious treatments or accommodations for it. Diagnosis to me seems driven to me quite bluntly more by entitlements being connected to Autism than anything else and I find the rising diagnosis more perverse. Generally my support for a diagnosis hinges on my perception that being diagnosed helps the person diagnosed and the collective good.

There was some research out of Texas after they passed a law forcing Sped enrollment to be capped at 8.5% with an allowed racial discrepancy of more than 1%. BOTH the GenEd and SpEd started graduating less, but the black students who were the most likely to be put in SpEd classes before the legal changes graduated more. To me this shows we have either already passed the point of overtreatment in the black population and are likely just above or below the line of an “optimal level of treatment” for the rest of the population.

Considering how the FSF's own AGPL conflicts with freedom #1, they clearly can't be that clear.
Starlink carbon footprint up to 30 times size of land-based internet
NYC has lots of elevated trains. And other cities around the world are able to build tunnels more cheaply than NYC, there's nothing insane about it.
They do have the zero, but it hasn't been updated in awhile and I wish it was. There are still tons of projects with benefit from these cheap microboards, even smaller than the pi. The Pis have become pretty powerful but also more expensive. It would be nice to have, like you're suggesting, a trade-off and it have a clearly good platform to use

What do you mean by "It’s what living in a society is all about."?

The point of society isnt to enforce your will on others.

At best it is a means to an end, and hotly debated how much you should be able to force compliance from others for your own benefit.
Until you find out that a manufacturer decided to use a footprint which looks standard, but uses a custom pin numbering. The schematic symbols are right and so are the KiCad-provided footprints, but they are still not going to work together.

But yeah, a lot of chip footprints are quite standard, or require only small modifications from those standard footprints. I do still have to hand-draw quite a few of them, but that's because my designs are usually quite heavy on relatively obscure peripherals.
I'm actually not as opposed to belt tightening as you might think. I just get aggravated seeing narratives without a whiff of empirical evidence to support them. (I've informally studied economics and probably know enough to be dangerous.) My personal indicators that we may be on shaky fiscal ground are the rise of monopsonies/monopolies in vertical markets that depend on discretionary income (concert tickets anyone?) and the most troubling chart I've ever seen from the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) https://www.bls.gov/bdm/entrepreneurship/entrepreneurship.ht... (scroll to the bottom and look at the last chart).

> What are you going to use all this infrastructure to do? How is it going to change people’s lives?

there are some questionable linkages in that article, in the rush to discuss "the big numbers"

specifically, core AI "foundation" models are (supposedly) built once, while tuning and interaction follow, with less energy for each activity. If the infrastructure arms-race settles down (not there yet) then what does this technology do .. in markets? to society? for investors?

It is difficult to project actual social concern onto SequoiaCap here.. if they had it for a moment I am sure it would pass quickly.. But sure, what is the effect of the use of this money?

When people realize that their jobs are being replaced, that suddenly ads for lotteries and junk food are a lot more plentiful, that ads are auto-generated and placed in every conceivable device while human needs are visibly shortchanged (housing). Yes, actually, there might be consequences to all that.. is that the implied question, too?
They are coming yes. They may not bring much in term of bandwidth per line, but will allow much more lines and entirely different geometries for the cpus allowing chips to be cooled on both sides etc.
I’m sorry, which tourists are going to be turned off by congestion tolls? Tourists are, by and large, not driving in and out of lower Manhattan. Same with businesses, only a very small number have a significant number of customers drive to visit them.
If AI is going to take over programming jobs, where are the new languages?
I've had a couple of conversations on whether AI can truly take over programming jobs (notice I did not say Software Engineering on purpose), and I tend to steer towards refuting by saying that if that would be the case (still a maybe), we should see some AI programming languages springing up and down no? My hypothesis is that these would be more efficient, memory safe, performant, etc, etc, (maybe more "readable" - whatever that means for an AI programming language)
There's mainly three kinds of patches:

* make the software behave like Debian needs it (configuration is stored somewhere in /etc/, no additional downloads at runtime, use the system libraries instead of vendored ones)
* security backports. Debian freezes the functionality at release and only provides security updates. Many software nowadays just includes security fixes in new releases bundled with new functionality.

In combination these two kinds of patches lead to growing differences between a Debian released version 1.2 and the "real" 1.2, making it harder to handle bug reports (e.g. you get a bug report for version 1.2-Debian, but only support the "real" version 1.4 with a whole set of updated libraries).

The third kind of patch has mostly gone out of style; it's when Debian thinks they can improve the software. That lead to things like removing randomness from SSH keys: https://github.com/g0tmi1k/debian-ssh

It can be more than one thing. But one of the interesting possibilities for housing is modular construction. You mass produce homes on an assembly line as walls prefitted with plumbing and electrical, put them on a truck and snap them together at the site. Now you can produce them wherever labor costs are low and assemble them in a matter of days or weeks rather than months or years.

This doesn't get you out of zoning restrictions but could allow you to recover from their historical effects more quickly after zoning reform is achieved.
If your goal is to get the best single core performance at a given wattage: pick any high end option (13900k, 7950x, M2) and just limit the power target/available performance to the power level you want. I.e. there is a massive amount of power variance in getting dozens of cores to eek out slightly more multi-core performance but the power variance for single core performance at a given wattage is really not that much.

If your goal is to go cheap but still have decent performance it depends on what exactly you need it to perform at but mini PCs like Beelink usually give otherworldly performance vs what you'd expect in the 100-200 dollar category.
I was angry for four years during the Trump presidency .. and that's as a Canadian! I couldn't look away from the news and was expecting him to be stopped at some point and it just never happened.

To your first point, it's definitely very interesting to have to figure out this reality of ours and work on ourselves, it's a privilege to have the time and resources to do it effectively, I can't even imagine how many people are suffering without even realizing that their daily struggle could be anything else.
He talks specifically about when he chooses to create a new language.

"I generally view that initial list (with some other items) as a kind of litmus test of whether it makes sense to write a new language:"

Therefore, Objective-J is the language that passed the test for him. But what did it actually bring to the table other than some interoperability with existing Apple APIs, which allowed direct use of Interface Builder? Which, as it happens, is also the same primary design goal Swift had.

The answer is: Nothing. Other projects at the time showed you could achieve 90% of same using plain old Javascript, despite Objective-J being clearly the better language, with already had a strong and mature ecosystem that was good enough. And therefore Objective-J should have never passed his litmus test.

Thus, his claims that he follows the litmus test is false. Or, more likely, has only become true in recent times due to his experience with Objective-J and how it failed on those fronts. But if that's the case then it is not clear how it applies to Apple as there was no reason for Apple to know any better back then either.

There's a reason their return policy is so generous.
Post exposure vaccination alone is not sufficient to prevent death for all cases. Immunoglobulins (HRIG) must also be administered. HRIG is not commonly available in many developing countries or rural areas. This is why preexposure vaccination is recommended for vulnerable groups (children) when traveling to such areas.
Flat rate just won't work, ever, it's a doomed idea. We need political decision about what kind of emissions are acceptable and what kinds are not.

No way basic necessities, food, transportation should be taxed the same rate as luxury houses and yachts/private jets.

It's not realistic.
Of course they will, medical technology improves over time.
> Brushing over individual experience with aggregate statistics

That's the only way to discuss such issues. There'll always be good and bad experiences so wee need to look at aggregates, not individual data points.

This is indeed utilitarian: yes tuition may be expensive and yes a student loan may be a significant amount as a consequence but this is an investment decision and if the return is indeed worthwhile so what? And if it's not then it's also one's decision.

Or the complaint is on the political/ideological aspect of paying for education (this is The Guardian after all), not the practical, utilitarian aspect.
In France something like that has already happened:

"Under a government decree, any journeys that are possible in less than two-and-a-half hours by train cannot be taken as a flight. "

https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/12/02/is-france-banning-...
That is federal. Add in states and cities and US government revenue is more than 40% of GDP [1].

When you consider actual dollars, not % gdp, Americans pay MORE in actual dollars than many European countries.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Federal%...

France gdp/capita is around 43,658.98 USD. 47% is $20.5k/capita.

US gdp/capita is around 66,000 USD. 40% tax revenue is $26.5k/capita.

The US government brings in 30% more tax revenue per resident than the French government.

The differences in social benefits between France and the US are not due to lower taxes in the US. They are due to inefficient spending and systemic economic differences.

The thing is it's impossible to prove any single event or change is caused by climate change because we have no way of showing what would be happening if humans hadn't altered the planet.

With weather we can show that severe events have become more common.

I'd have to read the study thoroughly to know for sure but it seems they can show certain effects of the fossil fuels industry but not actual causation of the overall slowdown, which may be impossible to prove.
Several decades? In Netherlands retirement age is 67. Will probably be 70 by the time I retire. Males live 75 on average so that's less than a decade of retirement.
I would disagree that containers aren't supposed to run more than one process. It's just discouraged because a lot of people aren't well versed in the pitfalls of being PID 1. Fedora's toolbox is a great counter-example, as is systemd now being able to boot up as your PID 1 in some container distros without much modification.
The new socialists tax you at 40% and then give you no services and a huge payroll of government workers.

Socialism IS the problem.
It seems to me that if you want to be a CEO that wants to stay connected at the ground level, then you have to actually do that: you have to know each engineer, and understand the work they’re doing on any given day. Naturally, this tightly constrains the possible size of the company. If you want to grow beyond that size you must accept that you will become disconnected and out of touch and all of the bs being discussed here will inevitably creep in.
e.g. lets say that the big initial cost of certifying the first version of the toolchain is $2 million. It will be more than that, but (probably?) less than $10 million. And this doesn't include any salaries or costs beyond the time to get the big up-front work done.

Let's say they were to sell just that one compiler version for 5-10 years. Then they need 800 licenses (which for developers of certified products, is actually quite a few) to make back the 2 million over 10 years.

Suggestion: maybe a better possibility would be: find one customer who will pay at least a few million dollars. Then list the pricing as 'contact us' while they find a couple other large customers. Don't publish the low price/seat or the bigger customers may ask for lower prices.
"Lifestyle business" as I know it is a term used by VCs (in a derogatory sense) for a business that sustains with small profit, enough to keep going or even permitting the founders to live well, but not exhibiting the 40x growth that VCs would like.

VCs would rather see a startup fail, for at least in such a situation they can write down their investment as a loss and move on; whereas in a lifestyle business their capital remainds bound. The founders may be perfectly happy in that situation, but never be able to produce an exit of the kind risk capital seeks.

There is nothing wrong with desiring to set up a lifestyle business from a founder's perspective. But it is not appropriate to use risk capital to fund it, because neither the risk is high enough nor is the return; so bootstrapping or bank loans are more appropriate to finance them (some individual business angels may be okay with smaller returns that professional VCs - as long as returns are at least higher than the 16% you can typically get from investing in an index).

Wouldn't the governor just cause this problem? The speed is determined by the angle of lean, so it's a physical problem. That's why the solution they are using is a haptic notification basically.
You are absolutely describing lifestyle businesses. But it's also used to describe businesses without outside investment that are mostly about scraping by with a lot of hard work where people actually want/need to make decent comp. Which, as you suggest, is really a different beast.
Docker doesn't do mods. As the article says, this is possible due to s6 and s6-overlay, which is included with linuxserver.io docker images, combined with a set up scripts that set it all up. This does prevent your containers from being immutable.

All the code for LSIO images is available on their GitHub.
Why do you assume I don't know how Bitcoin works? Because I'm not using sat/byte, which would only confuse the casual reader?

My point was that for regular payments that regular people do Bitcoin is simply too expensive for. The average transaction amount is indeed very useful to backup that statement.
Contrary to popular beliefs, anarchists have no problem with constitutions or laws or governments. Anarchy is ANti-hierARCHY, which in the extreme case extends to not accepting the hierarchy of the State (i.e. an organization with a license to exert force over all others in society). But,

1. Many anarchist movements do not demand this much change. They only demand removal of specific forms of hierarchies they think most problematic. The Occupy movement for instance was demanding the curtailment of the political power of the 1% over the 99%. Its always better to think of political movements as directions of evolution in political space, rather than specific destinations.

2. Then how do anarchists propose that laws/constitutions be imposed? By consensus and discussion. By making sure everyone is on board. Or by temporarily giving someone conflict resolving power (as in the Debian case). Plenty of societies and organizations operate this way, and work fine. Read The Dawn of Everything for some historical examples. See a region in Syria [1] as a modern example.

The new Intel Alder Lake N N100 up to i3-N300s are just starting to appear. Most are semi pricey but we are seeing some sub $150 offerings, new. The top end N300's are easily equivalent performance of an 35w i5-8600t. With some nice extra modern features/bells/whistles. https://www.cnx-software.com/2023/10/02/zx05-mini-pc-stick-p...

The real challenge is though that for most people, there's a huge market of secondary/resold business mini-pcs. These systems offer exceptional value. They're bulkier & idle close to 10w often, but if you're not doing battery powered or mobile robotics it's almost always a great trade-off.

My old Acer Chromebox units were even smaller and idled around 4w, and had two pretty beefy cores (alebit with low clock and small caches) and gobs of io. 6 USB3 ports, which it could easily saturate & barely break a sweat. Internal sata and mini-pcie wifi. Incredibly great value, and I was picking them up for under $100 years ago. Stuck 2*16gb ram in em. Amazing value.

If you need gpio, there are really really cheap USB based addon peripherals that offer whatever you might want and more.

It bothers me a lot how many people seem to support a market for junky piddling slow & limited celerons. The chips you cite have barely changed in almost a decade & were low end to start. I used a Chuwi 12.3 laptop with n3450 for a while & it was quite survivable sure. But there's so much more value going to resale markets or spending a little more & buying a Lenovo business 1L mini PC when it goes on sale. I wish Intel wasn't able to get away with selling such bad performance for so long.

Thankfully the new Alder Lake N replacement is worlds better. It's a great chip, and we can buy units at reasonable prices. I wish AMD competed here too but they have remained far up market.

Just looking at the function signatures there:

Good one. I will ask my mother when she's in doubt to tell an old joke of my dad (she to me or me to her), including word plays. We know all of these inside out, including the very way he'd tell these. Only insiders know these jokes, though my wife's father is from the same year and some jokes my dad had her dad had as well. It took some magic away, for sure, but he was still my dad who was chronically ill and kept using humor to deal with life. A gifted talent I don't seem to possess.
Why not? Why is working all (or nearly all) of your life the default?

I forgot which, but one of the more popular economists of the last century believed that, with productivity gains, people would be working much, much shorter work-weeks by now.

He was only sorta wrong: the productivity gains did actually happen, but we decided to use the extra time to do more work, not do the same amount of work and take the rest in leisure.

There's nothing that says that we as a civilization couldn't decide to slow down and relax more. I know that this won't happen; capitalists run the world, and they'll never accept this sort of arrangement. But it's not like this is some sort of inherent natural must-do state of existence.
