Well yeah sure, but they count iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS as separate operating systems, so it’s really only like 98 operating systems, which is kinda like… pff… anyone can do that…
Lisdexamphetamine is a big help, but the side effects can be devastating.
Of course every person is different, but for me this reduced my sleep quality significantly. I can no longer take any of these meds if I want a good restful night of sleep. When I was younger it was no problem though.
You can use JS in basically all the places you can use VBA right? It's available in every browser.
> Existing transistors and physical switches etc. will also have silly short lifetimes if you do that math

Power switching in PWM is often 10s of KHz switching speeds and these are expected to last years so not really true.
I have a 2009 MBP.

Its battery still runs for about 2h, its optical drive worked the last time I tried, and it runs 10.13 which means the current Firefox ESR still works.

I am planning to try OCLP on it and see if I can get Big Sur working. That's the last macOS that doesn't want a GPU that supports the Metal APIs, and it should run the latest Firefox and Chrome for a few years yet.
Comparative politics in the bush: Isonomia isn't all Greek to me
They help me. At least the physical, paper ones do.

I keep my days on track by taking time in the early morning and reviewing the previous days accomplishment/misses/notes and then writing down an outline of today's goals and reminders. Notes throughout the day get jotted in the margins. Something like maybe 70% blogging, 30% to-do list?

Can't say I've ever used an app that felt 1/8th as helpful. It feels like there's some extra brain magic going on in the process of putting thoughts on actual paper that results in more retention and effort of thought put into writing.
Are you really referencing ChatGPT as an authority on factual matters?
Berlin didn't care enough. Too many people just want to bang and be on stage or sit in front of it. Not wanting to change anything is a cool attitude among kids. Their parents and teachers did exactly as the system wanted them to. And the current gen. of teachers and parents is exactly the same.

It took a while to understand, but the simple truth is post-racism: the corrupted market determines the peoples value.

You can't afford an apartment because you are not running trackers and advertisements on your website, your body and in your lifestyle in general. Obey.

New money people and old money people share one thing: capitalism at all cost in their genes. And the group is big and strong enough to sanitize all guilt, which isn't even necessary because the dancing mob will go to that festival anyway and dancing people are never wrong.

Fuck the haters and throw the realists and super-rationalists in the same grave. Plant some concrete flowers on top. The soil is fertile from all the decomposed rebels and freedom fighters.

Eat and wear vegan from time to time and have a healthy sex life and all will be perfectly splendid.
For me the most important function of a todo list is to remind me what I am supposed to be doing _right now_. I often get distracted and veer off to do something else, but a quick glance at the top of my todo list gives me that little nudge to go back. Anything further down the todo list will possibly stay undone.
Sorry, my bad, English is not my native language.

In our society, the HN community, getting an extra bit at 16, 32 or 64 is more exciting than turning say 30 or 60.

At least in my household this is the case…
That's a feature of todo lists I think. Well, perhaps not for ADHD per se, but it's a way also to offload and let go of things. At least that's what I remember the lifehack character on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy said.

I think we have this reoccurring on a frequent basis that it is now part and parcel of living in the US.
You can use this to equalize temperatures on one chip, using it like a changeable heat-shield, so instead of hotspots, you artifically keep some heat from escaping from colder areas too fast which could prevent stress induced cracking. It's better to keep whole chip at 70*C than a one small area at 70 and other areas at 30. Then when heat load from that one small spot vanishes or is moved to other spot, you can change your heat mask on the fly.
Although those kind of questions around continuity happen across business. Sometimes the service you are offering depends on individual contact and flexibility rather than offering a commodity utility. And dependance on a small number of individuals is an acceptable and understood risk. The trouble with software is when managers don't understand that risk and offload it on another department when things go wrong.
Anyone else tired of blogs trying to make their content more interesting by slapping loads of generated images into each post?
In 1966 NASA launched two rockets to LEO as part of the Gemini 12 mission - under 2 hours apart (Gemini, Athena docking target.)

As for SpaceX, just a few months ago the Psyche asteroid mission and a Starlink launch also happened the same day.
>US military

Therein lies the crux of why we can't have (as a species), nice things.

Too bad about that. But on the flip-side it means that when China finally overtakes rocket flight (like its done with manned space station missions), it'll give the US military a reason to exist.
Evaluating the Fairness of Discriminative Foundation Models in Computer Vision
Here is an interesting article we published on Fairness of CLIP models. I would love to get people's feedback on other potential fairness issues in other foundation models.

This hits home.

I think we need to really take a hard look at today's world of tech and how we communicate and collaborate.

I find that, if time allows, I get a massive productivity boost after 4:30pm and everyone is either winding down or leaving. All the sudden, the walls flatten, the horizon deepens and I enter a deep state of flow.

Around 10 AM, after an elongated "stand up", I should be ready to go... And yet it's absolutely impossible to not alt-tab 300 times per hour, and I can't seem to even remember the code I just typed or what the hell I'm even trying to do.

Even if I close Slack, Outlook and turn off all notifications, I've got a minute-by-minute cron job in the back of my head that ticks

"Hey! One minute has passed. The world could be on fire! Is it?"...

I remember once I had to travel for family, to a different timezone, I was super productive. Only 1 14" screen and a different timezone. Pedal to the metal.

Ah, the 90s. The CRT, the keyboard, the fullscreen applications, the lack of communication. 1 or 2 emails a day. Bliss.

Add to today: kids, imessages, facebook, twitter, mastodon, instagram, emails, slack, discord... How the fuck do I even survive the week?

I think ADHD is the new norm.
Language is imprecise. LLMs should be able to deal with that.
Coffee is the wrong kind of stimulant, it is a band aid. It is like eating sugar to try to dampen cravings for protein, causes you to overeat sugar.

This is clever technology, but unless it is a heat pump - and if it is, this article is missing something important - then how would it help with chip cooling? Surely the highest conductivity you can achieve is what matters in practice, not being able to turn it off in a nanosecond?
But expecting anybody to know all the details about a request, as well as the consequences to other bits of functionality in a system (especially if it's still being built) is unrealistic.

Most people have a vague idea of the outcome they want, and the reason for it. They also quickly know what they don't want _once they see it_

And that's why agile and iterative development is actually great for GUI based user interactive app development.
..I suppose you can read it that way if you want, but the result of something going from 'may contain trace amounts of sesame seeds' to 'definitely contains non-trivial amounts of sesame seed' is hardly a win if you're allergic to them. You at least had a choice to risk it before, or might have known it wasn't a risk because your allergy would only be triggered on a larger amount even if some did make its way in.

(And the regulators/legislators intention had been to benefit those allergic, so it's not just an unfortunate side-effect, it totally backfired.)
I just viewed their profile. They're at 999 karma. Trying to figure out if they have a bot monitoring their own karma that invokes a bot to down vote some other comments of theirs....

UPDATE: Something has to be involved... Or karma aggregation/recalculation isn't instant. I just upvoted their comment, they're still at 999. LOL.
"A is B" is meant a bit loosely here. A better shorthand would be "A is the B" <=> "The B is A", or "A does B" <=> "B is done by A".

The actual paper explores equivalences that actually make sense, and whether LLMs have trouble with them.
I can one-up you there - not only was it my birthday, it was my 17th as well :-)
One key identifier not mentioned in the article is that ADHD, as well as manically depressed, people typically produce extremely low levels of serotonin. It is common for ADHD people to compensate with stimulants like caffeine and sugar.

Many people crave minor stimulants in the afternoon or early morning when serotonin levels dip in the day. People chronically low on serotonin however will crave these all day long in extreme volumes in what looks like drug addiction seeking behavior. The result of such stimulant over consumption produces behaviors that appear like rapid bipolar disorders.

This does not apply to all people with ADHD, but when you see the behavior in people close to you it’s probably a good idea to have them tested.

My biggest learning about ADHD is that it’s not primarily about focus, but irregularities with task completion/transition deficiencies.
10.000 requests / (24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds) = 0.11 requests / second

or 1 request every ~9 seconds.

Maybe you just didn't space them enough.

Yeah, you can now display moving images for thermal imagers, like showing the temperature of terrain behind vehicle while moving around.

> that the user should understand what's going on

Sure he should. But design maxime of a lot of contemporary software does exactly the opposite: Hiding as much of the "icky techy stuff" from the user as possible.

> One does not need a technical background to understand URLs.

That's true, but doesn't change the fact that most people don't. For example, how many people know that the domain of an URL is organised right-to-left? I met people in tech, including programmers, who never figured that out.

> Browser hiding URLs is like an OS hiding file system structure from users, because files and directories are "too technioal" for them.

I agree. And now open a contemporary smart phone interface, and show me, without any special tooling, the actual, "physical" file system. And these things are probably the most successful consumer computing platforms ever.
You defintiely can use S3 for appending to a WAL (I've done it), they have read-after-write consistency
Just recently we had a meeting with a client that demoed their current business workflow process. One of our client's very clever business users created a hacky but also amazing VBA solution for sending emails, assigning work, creating reports, etc. It works just the way they want it, and our team was there to replace it. Made me sad, because our solution will cost a fortune, won't do half of what this guy's solution does, involves a third party SASS solution with a very limited API, and so it will cut him out of his ability to customize it.

Eh, you can get upset about the industry using inaccurate words but we'd be here for a while then. AI isn't AI but machine learning, cryptocurrency isn't a currency, cloud servers aren't actually floating water vapor, the Dutch political parties that have freedom and/or democracy in their names aren't actually for freedom or democracy, and serverless actually uses servers. Let it go, just use the accepted term so that everyone knows what you mean, but remain aware of what it really means and don't buy into the hype or the FUD.
Wow, so because a considerable minority of the CPUSA leaders and loudmouthes wanted to violently overthrow the US government, all their political overt allies needed to be removed from public jobs, the party was disbanded and all the leaders, even those not advocating for violence had to be put in prison.

Imagine if they successfully stormed the Capitol, they would have been put to death.

this may be an "unpopular" opinion but:

just remember: generally spoken (west-)europe (mostly) consists of vassal-states to the US ... and a handful of unimportant dwarf-states.

and nothing shouts "vassal" more in the early 21st century than being submissive to the big-tech companies of your ... overlord ... hegemony ... land of the free ... "arsenal of freedom and democracy" ... or whatever expression suites your world-view regarding the US.

ihmo. every other self-respecting and self-reliant country/entity of countries developed its own propaganda- and surveillance-technology and blocked the ones from the US to certain extends.

which, if you remove all the fluff, in the end they are - also we tend to refer to them as "web 2.0"- or "social network"-portals, or "search-engines", "some service"- a la "free-mail"-provider and "operating system"-providers etc.

Serverless means you have a network cable that ends somewhere abruptly. The open-end will cause reflections, so you can use this technology to store data for brief moments.
This is a very impressive effort to point out a major, unjust act being committed on civilians by military leaders, but it has to be noted that nothing will change in this situation for as long as the military junta that really runs the USA today (masquerading as a republic) fails to have its feet held to the fire in the form of war crimes prosecutions of its leadership, which MUST happen before we can even begin to address the wider issue of nuclear proliferation.

We are held hostage by this junta, because it desires nothing but power over the world. That's why the USA spends many more billions murdering people than it does, making peace, every year.

Until the American people hold their war criminals feet to the fire, the nuclear issue is going to be a non-starter, and may even serve as a major distraction from the real issue, which is that the American people are hostages to their own military junta, which commits a murderous act against innocent human beings, on average, every twenty minutes.

THAT is a bigger threat to world peace than nuclear proliferation, people. Won't someone please make a slick website to highlight this issue, mmmkay... (hint: its https://airwars.org/)

(EDIT: as usual, oppressively rate-limited when discussing America's very real war crimes situation... embarrassing, eh, Americans?)

bell-cot said: "Nice rant..."

Oh, okay, its the Joint Chiefs of Staff operating through the revolving door between the US' military leadership and the CFR, which factually masquerades America's military junta problem.

And yes, in spite of the dire embarrassment that the average American may feel upon learning of its existence, it is factually a military junta, well-versed in hiding its activities from the only power capable of bringing it to heel: the American public.

Incidentally, the military junta that has built this heinous empire of death and destruction also has a slick web site outlining the very real issue:

https://therevolvingdoorproject.org

Nuclear proliferation is at one point in the scale - but the real issue is the general publics' ignorance of just how bad things are, that the worlds 'greatest nation' spends a trillion dollars a year preparing to murder innocent people, and yet simply WON'T give its own citizens world-class education and health care, meanwhile ..

Dan Luu famously doesn't have timestamps on the blog posts, like

I think the argument is that the content should be corrected if it's outdated. So, it shouldn't matter when it was written.
Not Ghibli or Miyazaki at all but I would recommend Now And Then, Here And There as a companion piece. It's tropes and plot points are similar to FBC but seen through a very different lens.
Extremely exciting, in that there was a lot of demand for tech. However the hype was much like the hype around crypto or now AI. A lot of grifters and people who had no business being in the industry. However because the barrier to entry was a bit higher, there wasn't such widespread madness that is observable with the crypto and AI hypetrains. It was definitely a period where if you had an idea, there were a lot fewer people in that space, and both tech and business were less developed in the industry. So there was a lot more space to shine, but you'd have to do a lot more legwork.

I use the heuristic that if there are loads of billboards everywhere advertising stuff that should be incomprehensible to the layman, then things have got too frothy.
I feel incredibly lucky that my parents got me evaluated for ADHD and Autism when I was still a minor.
It's much much harder as an adult. There is a lot of stigmatization and also this thought of "oh you got through school, oh you got this far" for adults with ADHD.

I used to take medication and it helped me a lot. Now however I have come off of them completely. The side effects can be devastating. In my case, I developed strong insomnia as amphetamines are much stronger than caffeine. Sleeplessness over a longer period can be very mentally deteriorating.

The advice I can give is to actively seek interaction with others suffering from the same, actively accept and ask for all accommodations and help, give yourself enough time for what you need to do and don't compare your experience to the neurotypical one.
It is different and it's a matter of coping and accepting oneself and ones disadvantages as a normal part of life.

Another thing I often say to people in my therapy group is that they should also be politically proactive about their condition. Things like healthcare covered medication, ensured accommodations etc and the fight against stigmatization are political by nature.

I found that it is really hard to go against the mainstream of the bubble you live in for two reasons: Let's take issue X as an example. One side says X is always true, the other that it is always false. But you think that actually "it depends". The two problems are then:

(1) When you don't fully agree with your bubble on X, the more extreme ones will assign you to the opposite bubble and shun you.

(2) There are people in the opposite bubble that will pretend to believe X "depends" in order to lure less extreme members over to their own bubble. And many in your bubble will believe that you are one of those.

We are so caught up in our tribal thinking that many will simply not believe that you genuinely think "it depends".

I believe that this is "by design", that someone is dividing and conquering the public. Many will agree with me here, and then they will finish with "but the other side is too brainwashed to notice"... Knowing that it is a trap, does not help you to avoid it ;)
