What is everyone’s experience getting officially diagnosed and treated? I match up pretty closely with textbook symptoms and all of the free online “tests” indicate I should get treated for it… but how? I’ve found places that offer an ADHD screening at the tune of multiple thousands, not in network with any insurance, but those places don’t also treat it. I’m more interested in pharmacological treatments rather than typical therapy (after over 40 years, I’ve developed coping mechanisms like the author), but it’s hard to choose what type of doctor is best here.
What experiences does everyone here have?
Nah, it has a crappy chiclet keyboard.

I have both i5 and i7 X220s. The i7 has USB3 and 16GB of RAM, plus dual SSDs, and it remains 100% usable today. I just wish it had a slightly higher-res screen. I'm perfectly happy with the colours and the viewing angles, but it's a bit cramped, which is one reason I still use Unity.
You don’t need to apply the license until after the public release, before then it would just be sharing code with your customers under whatever agreement you want
> I'm saying we should accept some level of accidents, not that we want to purposefully try to cause nuclear meltdowns. It is tolerance, not a target.

The problem is: what are you willing to tolerate? Here in Bavaria, many decades after Chernobyl, you still have to scan wild game meat and shrooms for radioactivity. You can't even assume that a dead zone around a disaster site will be kept secure - the Ukraine war proved that, with uneducated Russian troops disturbing the radioactive dust layer as they moved around and entrenched themselves around Chernobyl. The only place where it's really feasible to have a nuclear accident site contained reasonably well is the continental United States, everything else is way too much at risk for third-party interference.

Nuclear radiation is among the worst issues you can have... you can't see it, people aren't aware of how radiation sources look like, and it's way WAY too easy to cause serious incidents the more widespread its use is - the "orphan sources" wikipedia article is pretty damning, and a lot of that is the relatively small amounts that are used in radiotherapy devices. As a species, we can't even have these secured and protected from theft and incompetent idiots - how anyone can ask for even more usage of nuclear energy is beyond me.
Hanging birds is a very old practice. Wait till you learn how long people hang pheasants.

Brillat-Savarin: “the peak is reached when the pheasant begins to decompose; its aroma develops, and mixes with an oil which in order to form must undergo a certain amount of fermentation, just as the oil in coffee can only be drawn out by roasting it.”
You see parallels between the Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism because the left made those comparisons repeatedly.

For example, "The Crucible is a 1953 play by American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692–93. Miller wrote the play as an allegory for McCarthyism".

But there is a crucial difference between the witch trials and McCarthyism. Witches don't exist. Communists did exist.

And by Communists, I mean members of and supporters of the Communist Party USA in the US government. The CPUSA was dedicated to the violent overthrow of democratic government in the US and its replacement with a dictatorship loyal to Stalin.

After the release of Venona documents and Soviet archives, we know now with certainty that those Communists did exist - they weren't imaginary. They existed in high positions in the US government, they spied for Stalin, gave nuclear and other military information to the Soviets, they made government policy that favored Stalin, the US government knew many of their names, and did nothing about it for years, in some cases over a decade. When people pointed this out, they were called paranoid.

I don't see the parallels to the Salem Witch Trials in that. I see gaslighting. I see blaming the messenger. I don't see a witch hunt.

He was acting Chancellor. It's like saying a red apple is not an apple. It's a technicality. The fact that we have a completely reasonable explanation to why GPT-4 includes him in the list and you guys still make it sound like the AI is a complete moron is just hilarious to me.

Deterrence really only works on individuals (actual people) not corporations (not actually people). So we're forced to consider the cost/benefit to society. Maybe (hopefully) the reason they worked it out this was is because it works out better financially in the long term if we dont kneecap the companies in exchange for a little extra money toward cleanup.

The real issue is that the actual people that made the decisions that led to the problem will walk away from all of this rich. We need more accountability on the part of corporate offices if we want to deter these types of decisions.

do you find that todo lists help you?

I certainly agree with calendars/alarms but todo lists for me are a place to put things instead of doing them and then they become a separate problem all of their own

I am surprised you are having any problem getting diagnosed. ADHD is one of the easiest conditions to fake: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3173757/
Does the download dump include edit history?
I read a book once decades ago about ADHD, and it said lots of children are misdiagnosed with it. One of the very common causes is that kids who don't eat regularly (or eat sugar then crash) will encounter low blood sugar. The body reacts to this by dumping adrenaline in the bloodstream and ... voila ... an excitable kid with little focus.
True, and my X220 has a cheapo USB3 card from AliExpress that gives it a few more USB3 ports. Cost about $5 or something.
It's extremely common to get food poisoning at home, and for many people/cases it is indistinguishable from the flu.

Who separates meats in their fridge and on their cutting boards, dates the opening times of items, etc? Similarly, a home dishwasher doesn't actually sterilize anything, which is why its safer AFA chemicals. It's just providing the hope that small doses of something you've already interacted with won't cause sickness.

But once you've been sick from some contamination you won't really notice it, but guests might. Some restaurants run the same way as typical homes, and will be universally contaminated and someone who eats out regularly with variety is going to have similar consequences to being a guest in houses all over town..
Web store submissions don't take one to two hours. I have a popular extension and depending on the changes to your code it can take anywhere from an hour to several days.

edit:

I avoid environment issues like the one in the twitter thread by making use of a single environment (production == development). The backend "endpoint" is configurable within the extension itself and defaults to production. I can test the production build locally, or point it to the development server.
funny how you recommend Tgram and mention unencrypted RCS. By default all tgram messages are not e2ee (only if you use secret chats that are super limited in functionality so most users use classic chats) basically having access to any message (personal/group)
Postmodernism typically refers to the collection of thinkers and ideas, whereas I was referring to our current period in time (postmodernity.)
> I bought a Thinkpad [t480]… For my hostname I chose “dell-latitude-e5430”. I don't know why.

Wait, what would possess you to use that hostname?

It’s like buying a Honda Civic but referring to it as your Ford Focus.
> Ignored by everyone in the Soviet scientific establishment and nuclear authorities. I don't know what's worse, a secret police intervention or a whole science and industry community ignoring safety concerns until it is too late.

“Whole .. community” is a stretch here.

Keep in mind that information spread is different in ussr. Kgb had people recruited from all over the place (from factory workers to politicians; 0.1% of population were in kgb). Also, lot of institutions had party representative present (officially, not hidden).

Press did not report accidents or significantly under-report casualties, and of course various good metrics were inflated a lot, even to comical levels.

In this environment, somebody using his influence in kgb or party to stop certain restrictions (because they would point to design flaw and would delay stuff) is very believable, and probably common.

Conspiracy in ussr != conspiracy in us.

Not me, but my BFF managed to get diagnosed in her mid-30s. She was killing her heart with all the stimulants she was taking and her other ways to cope. I don't k own hoe she got diagnosed, but she definitely didn't do it for thousands of dollars. She couldn't have afforded that.

I do know that therapy and medication made it night and day for her. She immediately dropped all caffeine. Her sleep and general mood was so much better and she wad way less flakey. She doesn't dismiss therapy although I know she hasn't gone every week for a while not and mostly goes when she's feeling like she needs it. Medication was a trip and error, but she's much happier with this steady state.

Rust vs. Go, Java, and Python in AWS Lambda Functions
both is needed. if every individual is solely responsible for not putting out data that can be used to infer information about them then the end result is that we all will have to live like hermits and stop communicating in public.

as an individual i don't even have the capacity to be aware of all the possible implications and of what can be inferred from what i share.

i could not participate here on hacker news if i was alone responsible to protect my privacy.

we have to legislate what other people and companies do with the data they can find in public.

we can't prevent data being produced, and we can't prevent data collection tools being created, therefore we must legislate how the data is used.

i made this realization some time ago and since then i have been thinking about possible ways to address this problem. the only thing i was able to come up with is that to prevent abuse we have to make the punishment so severe that violating someones privacy is simply not worth it.

i would love to see alternatives, but so far i come up empty.

we can't expect people to stop sharing.

we can't prevent tools to collect data to be created because there are many legitimate uses for that.

we can't stop the creation of inference tools either.

so what is really left besides punishing abuse?

Highlights

• We could not demonstrate a higher frequency of hyperfocus in adults with ADHD relative to healthy controls.

• Hyperfocus is experienced both by healthy and ADHD adults although it correlates positively with ADHD traits.

• Age and educational level are important determinants of hyperfocus.

• Motivational, situational and clinical aspects of hyperfocus need to be taken into account in future studies.
There is no "Acting Chancellor", that is a poor translation of what the job is. There is only a Chancellor, not an "Acting Chancellor" - you have to trust that the Germans and their institutions kind of know who was Chancellor and who was not.

The machine is a complete moron for not being able to get basic data from basic sources right.
I bought that book after first reading about "ceiling cat" and "basement cat".
Well there are full database dumps, but they're quite a bit too big to be of much practical use.

I'm usually working with the text-only OpenZim version, which cuts out most of the cruft.
That is indeed why they keep referring to Article 45 - the specific article of concern. If that was removed, presumably this new version of eIDAS would be fine. (And an existing version has already been in effect for a while, if I understand correctly.)
Same for me. Todo lists don’t work for me at all

The only kind of todo list that does is a piece of physical paper with the items that I want to finish that day
Does it really though - one flat thing vs. a bunch of jars and packets, or at least a bag of pre-portioned toppings and one of oil/sauce? In addition to your pre-made dough + a rolling pin and mat of course. Unless it's supplied pre-rolled and part-baked, which apart from being even worse and more significantly diverged from what you could make (fresh) at home, means you've got the flat thing anyway that could have been pre-topped for approximately no extra space cost.

But anyway, no I was surely obviously not responding purely to the camping anecdote, nor was other commenter making it solely about that, thread is about pizza, not backpacking.
Virgina Woolf wasn’t so highly regarded until mid century, well after her death. Before that, her reputation did not extend outside a circle of modernists. The Bloomsbury scene in general were countercultural even within the English literary-fiction world.
I got diagnosed and then got medication. Ritalin/medikinet is the default here.

It felt like a really strong coffee. It did not really help as I could just focus intensely on the wrong things for hours then crash. The comedown was not fun. The side effects were not fun. The benefits were questionable.

Above all, my lifestyle is built around ADHD. My work is structured to accomodate my quirks. I was happier riding the waves as there were almost no consequences for doing so.

Perhaps another type of medication would have worked better, but no medication at all is good enough.

One thing I appreciated is that they titrated the medication safely. I hear that American doctors start people with a much stronger dose. German doctors seem more moderate, and more willing to try therapy first.

Your mileage may vary.
Coping mechanisms also help with getting started. Mine are history podcasts and stimulating YouTube videos in the background.
Not really. It sounds like:

1) You don't understand human nature in the context of interviews.

2) You're making it about you and how exceptional you are, and have forgotten you're only half - at best - of the process

3) You've forgotten that - directly or indirectly - you are also being interviewed (by the candidate).

4) It's (all but) 2024. 20th Century mindsets need to die already.

This isn't about my experience(s). This is about having a proper and healthy understanding of the paradigm / process.

I appreciate your input. I hope you appreciate mine (but I doubt it).

Sure, it’s sometimes easier, but not for everyone (e.g. gay people in deeply religious families). It’s not clear if it’s “the best, to you” either (this kind of valuation is subjective).
Remote code execution by design. What could possibly go wrong?
It seems quite clear that inferring traits about people is something LLMs will only become better at with time.

Everyone claims MBTI is akin to astrology, which means there should be no predictive capacity of those four letters. But just for fun, I gave GPT-4 the top 20 songs of my music playlist and asked it to guess my MBTI type, and it correctly did so. I repeated the process with two friends (asking their MBTI type prior to querying GPT) and it guessed them correctly as well. If MBTI is no different than random noise and GPT lacks inference capabilities with regard to humans, the probability of this occurring due to chance alone is less than 1 in 16^3 (*approximately—non-uniform distribution of types).
There are bits of a leaked text: https://scotthelme.co.uk/what-the-qwac/

The concerns are about a specific article (Article 45) that prevents browsers from removing government certificates even if they are found to be malicious - not the concept of a digital ID in general. Digital IDs can still be implemented without that requirement - the certificates just have to make sure they hold themselves to the standards that browsers require of them.
Interesting! I bought metal straws a while back for use at home, and I used to clean them in the dishwasher. After a while I realized that my stomach acted up almost every time I used them (regular aspartame sweetened sodas). It stopped when I started washing them by hand. My theory: There was detergent or rinse aid left inside. About as unscientific as you can get but I'm "certain"...

You're actually on to a really important thing that IT depts misunderstand about Excel/VBA monstrosities.

They exist because they work. You want UX or business analysis? You literally just got that done for you for free if you run into a Excel/VBA application. The hardest part of dev is figuring out requirements, so stop looking at these as toys and start realizing that shadow IT exists because of a gap in development. Full stop. You can argue all day long that you're working your assess off, and you do great products, but the existence of these apps is empirical proof that IT has missed the boat on developing something of importance.

Use that.
It's worse than that.

you will need to tell us your location; it will vary greatly across the world.

In the UK, for me, diagnosis wasn't too hard via BUPA - my phsychiatrist seeing me for my other mental health problems recommended me and it was relatively quick to get an ADHD diagnosis; now, however, I am stuck - there's a UK shorage of medication so my psychiatrist is unwilling to proscribe for a new patient whilst existing ones aren't getting what they need. Until that gets unblocked I'm in limbo; additionally BUPA do not cover any ADHD costs (except the diagnosis) - after that you're on your own and you either need to self-fund or go via the NHS; the NHS won't "just" prescibe; for me they want that to come from the psychiatrist and they'll then pick up the medication part of it - but see above about BUPA not funding ADHD costs.

If you go NHS all the way then you'll be on long waiting lists and, presumably, some sort of post-code lottery as to your experience.

I'm willing to self-fund to get to the point where the NHS will take over (and apparently that's a dice-roll too; my GP says he will prescribe once the shrink gets me on a stable dose, but not before - apparently some GPs refuse and require that you go via the NHS for everything, so you're on long waiting lists again); but am currently unable to progress due to the shortage of medication, as mentioned. I am also expecting relatively large bills as I will need to self fund both the psychiatrist and the initial medication prior to the NHS picking it up.

Anecdotally (reading ADHD forums on reddit) experiences in the US sound much more random.
Diamonds aren't cut equal - imagine getting glasses that don't fit well your prescription.

All the sellers I have seen so far but White Flash seem to at best have a tiny, monocolor «Hearts & Diamonds» logo - which makes it hard to judge for yourself. And at this point the prices are low enough that it doesn't seem to make sense to settle for less if your goal is something like an engagement ring.

I don't know, maybe I am exaggerating the importance of this - (and maybe moissanite or even cubic zirconium would actually make for even better optical properties) - but it does seem like that diamond buyers are overwhelmingly getting taken advantage of : https://beyond4cs.com/truth-about-gia-triple-excellent-diamo...

I was interested enough from this article that I was willing to try to find out by myself (including comparing with similar crystals) - but annoyingly White Flash is US based and doesn't export to my country.

The blog post contains a timestamp in the RSS feed. In fact, the referenced post by Julia Evans also contains a timestamp in its RSS feed as well.

However, the post is making the point that the date should be in the post as viewed by the human reader as clearly as possible, which isn't the case in the the referenced post by Julia Evans.

In the third paragraph the author notes that "Only when I copied the URL to complain about it I discovered the date there". So there is no confusion on the author's part about what a timestamp is versus what a date is.
I think you're letting your hatred of China blind you to the fact that they are definitely chasing SpaceX's coat-tails - but don't forget that this answer was in response to "is anyone else doing anything like SpaceX in the world today?", and the answer is an emphatic YES: China is watching SpaceX' progress and it is making its own progress, just as SpaceX did 10 years ago, in building reusable rocket systems. Nobody else is catching up as quickly as China, in the new space race.

Also don't let the myopia blind you to the fact that whatever SpaceX innovates, others will commercialize. That's the entire point in the first place. Musk has stated multiple times he'd open source everything if he was allowed to ..
