ADHD comes with something called hyperfocus, which is the ability to really focus on something you think is interesting. It’s part of why I got my diagnosis in my 30ies, because I never had an issue working full time in jobs I enjoy. There are other reasons, but that one was a big one.

ADHD has an interesting image to many of us as something that has you running around unable to focus, but for a lot of us, it’s nothing like that. It’s much more about energy deficiency. I’ll use myself as an example, I never had an issue working a lot, I did 50+ hour weeks when I needed to, only for a period and with rest afterwards (but that’s sort of how Danish society works, if you work 50 hours one week then you can take two full days off the next, or later). My “strategy” and I put that in quotes because I didn’t know it was a strategy at the time, was to go to bed early in stressful periods. This broke when I had my first child, since you can just go directly to bed when you come home from work for obvious reasons. As well as changing motivations and so on. But really, you won’t have an issue with focus when you’re interested. What you will have an issue with is things you aren’t interested in, and while a lot of us can endure them, we spend more energy than other people while we do it.

A lot of us even have a lot of the H but are still capable of sitting in a seat for an entire day. Sitting, not sitting still mind you. I sit wrong, I’ve astonished basically every “ergonomic consultant” or whatever their job is that comes around Danish offices every now and then by how I’m not broken physically from how I sit when they watch. Well until one of them was so curious that she decided to spend more than the usual 5-10 minutes observing me and realised I don’t sit in the same position for long. I’m apparently the embodiment of “the next position is the best position”, which is fun and all, but you probably wouldn’t notice if you didn’t look, so my H wasn’t obvious in my childhood years. Because I can in fact sit through an entire day of school and not listen to 80% of what is said. Same is true for meetings that should’ve been an email. The only real difference is that I’m twice as tired as a normal person who was also bored through the same meeting.

So in a sense, what you’re describing is text book ADHD, and may not be an issue for you. At least until some external influences change your situation.
This is just me but I’m less bothered by Big Brother than I am by little brother.

I don’t worry (very much) that law enforcement will read my messages but I do worry that advertisers, insurance cartels, spam marketeers, bookmakers or price gougers will.
Why does changing a keybind inside of iTerm 2 need global accessibility permissions? By my own words, it's not a global shortcut, because well, it wasn't.

> I'll try to set a keyboard shortcut (not a global one mind you)

(I will admit that the phrase "keyboard shortcut" instead of something like "key binding" likely lead to this confusion, but by the time this occurred to me, the edit window was already closed.)

This hit me just recently when trying to map Command+P to Control+P. I don't know if Command+P is somehow special, but if you want to try it for yourself, feel free.

Secondly, though, accessibility permission is a really large hammer. Typically that's a high level of privileges as it usually means being able to read and interact with just about everything on-screen. Granted, this is the reality of many desktop OSes today anyways, but that's the other thing. If I have to switch all of these permissions on for many apps anyways, is this really a good design? No, of course not.

I tried to keep my rant relatively contained, because the truth is I hate macOS a lot worse. A software I used to like a lot, SnagIt, has become progressively less usable as macOS has updated over time, presumably because apps that handle screenshots and video capture have had to get increasingly tricky to function. Just about every time SnagIt starts, it gives me a laundry list of permissions I need to grant it. I mean literally it has to be like 7 things. Most of them seem to stick, but apparently after the software updates some of them need to be done again.

This security model sucks in other ways too. Like for example, you have to give your terminal emulator full disk access. If you don't, really stupid things will happen. I accidentally ran brew update in a VS Code terminal. It worked! And promptly wiped out all of the granted permissions on all of the casks it updated, because VS Code (of course) doesn't have full disk access, and as part of the security model you can't just update an app without full disk access. I really wish that wasn't the default behavior, because it was genuinely just a mistake to use the VS Code terminal for that. But even worse, I really want to grant this permission to Brew and not literally everything I run in that terminal emulator, so this is pretty damn unideal.

I haven't even gotten into Gatekeeper, OCSP stapling, and all of the trouble I have gone through trying to sign apps for macOS and have it not need to phone home to check the signature. (I was also hit by that funny bug where programs were taking forever to execute because the exec syscall was hanging waiting for Apple's servers. Reminds me that I am on a "privacy friendly" OS.)

But seriously, I'm really only scratching the surface here. Don't get me wrong, I hate other OSes too. I have an ongoing rant right next to this one about how much I hate Windows 11, and I don't think I really need to express how bad desktop Linux is from a usability standpoint.

In a different discussion a few days ago someone told me I was lying when I pointed out that Germany is burning 20GW of coal to compensate for their 140GW of renewables working at only 15% capacity.
To give them credit and be fair to cruise though - in pharma the FDA makes pretty clear what's needed and doesn't let people just start selling drugs without proof they work (unless they were grandfathered in). If I was regulating the regulators, e.g. a congressperson or something, then I'd pin quite a bit of the blame on the government itself for letting the cars on the road without making clear what cruise needed to track and report, and how.
Linux is much better than Windows 11.
Ever heard how painters hunt for pigments? Sure, if you run out of orange you can just mix red and yellow, but the end result will reflect different frequencies than when you used a dedicated orange pigment—meaning some oranges in your final work would look ever so slightly different (and sometimes very different under some light conditions or angles) from other oranges or from what you would like, especially over time.

The situation can also be flipped and apply to light sources, and those by definition are key in photography.

In case of LED light, its colour balance can be declared to match some reference Kelvin number, but because it is “fake”, a mix of spikes in the spectrum (roughly at R, G, and B for RGB LEDs, phosphorus-covered white LEDs have the spectrum more even but its own gaps and bumps), and materials of various colours can reflect inbetween those peaks, or right at those peaks, those materials can look 1) different from scene to scene and from light to light or 2) plain wrong in post production, compounding variance between camera sensors or films (which create colour from their own mix of R, G, and B), lenses, etc.

Added to other flaws of LEDs, such as longevity (of cheaper units), issues with brightness and colour reproduction consistency, PWM, etc., they make a poor choice for a variety of situations[0], but in photography particularly so, particularly where colour reproduction and continuity matter (TV and film).

By contrast, black body radiation—hot and more energy intensive—is a solid spectrum of even light, without spectral discontinuities or flicker at any brightness.

[0] In some situations those flaws are considered acceptable. You may have noticed how two identical OLED iPhones displayed at an Apple Store, even fully reset to defaults, can have obviously different white point when you look at them side by side—that’s colour reproduction/emission variance and/or degradation over time. Similarly, you can often spot PWM flicker if you reduce brightness and squint at an OLED phone with your peripheral vision. These things don’t matter much, since 99.99% of the time we look only at our own device and our colour perception and flicker tolerance is adjusted to it. Not so with photography; you can’t afford colour variance between two different lights even in cases where it’s not noticeable to the naked eye in the moment, whereas PWM restricts your FPS and shutter angle options.

When you have computer issues in a corporate env, you make a ticket.
Of course it does not help to solve the problem, but at least makes you feel better that you did everything you could.
> But maintaining an up-to-date (n)vim setup seems like a huge time sink. In my experience, plugins are constantly deprecated and forked, or have breaking changes that need to be debugged. Part of this is just the open source dilemma.

You either have too many plugins, or are in a part of the ecosystem where vscode is probably a safer bet right now (still maturing). My vimrc, including the few plugins I use, has barely changed in years (seriously, last commit 2021, last before that 2020).

Edit: Actually I have 10 plugins, so not as few as I thought. Stable ones, though.
You can build your own list (capture emails on a subscription

bro, you're working for one of chat programs, yes? never heard of communick before. won't ever use it. if people ask me about it, i will show them how a person related to communick behaves in public.
I'm not suggesting every chat service get donations. I'm only giving to Signal, the rest of the chat services I have to use get 0.

I'm donating more than my costs deliberately because I fully understand that most users are not going to contribute money, full stop. I need those users though, because they are the people I want to privately communicate with. So the obvious thing to do is pay for as many other users as I can. If there's 50M monthly active users, and if 1% of them are like me and highly value Signal, then each of us 1% users can pay $20/month and cover the entire operation. Then the contributions of the super rich donors can be saved to rebuild the war chest.

$20/month is nothing to me considering the value I get. I understand that most won't feel that way, which is why I'm only appealing to those who do feel as I do to just get that recurring donation going now.
You seem to be quite sure of how useful duckdb is even though you haven’t found a use case for it. This is actually a common pattern I’ve seen everywhere - the people super excited about duckdb are people who never use it in their job and at best for toy use cases.

If your data is truly small enough to run on a vps with duckdb, your monthly snowflake bill will not break a few hundred dollars by any stretch. A terabyte stored on snowflake costs 23 bucks a month and running a query on it depending on complexity will cost no more than a dollar. And you don’t pay any cost other than these two.

I would argue that new APIs are better thought through and cover the use cases that the extensions actually need.

Let me name a few examples.

1. chrome.scripting API and the concept of "isolated worlds" is easier to use and understand than what we had before.

2. Dynamic content scripts registration that everyone has waited for so long.

3. userScripts API is also a welcome addition. It does not provide everything and it needs to be improved, but it is already a good step forward. Finally the existence of userscript managers was recognized by Chrome and they're trying to make life easier for them.

Also, the bug fixes. Before the expansion of the extensions platform team there were major bugs that could be open for many years, and now I see them closing one by one. To an outside observer it may look ridiculous that there was such a problem from the start, but that's how underinvestment looks like and I am happy that the situation improves.

Even DNR is not a bad API by itself, the problem that was never addressed is that in MV3 there is no blocking webRequest anymore and DNR cannot fully replace it.

This model had exactly the feature I have been looking for the last three days! What I need is something to semi-reliably "Translate Python code

And additionally, the large tech corporations are not from to EU and they contribute very little to the EU relative to their size with their tax reduction schemes as well.

And that is what you qualify "easy" ?

Replacing 30% of a country grid capacity by an unproven technology never tested at scale. Associated with an hydrogen storage capacity (which we already struggle to do in labs and in the rocket industry) large enough to substain weeks of productions never also not tested at scale is easy ?

All of that should also be cost efficient right ?

And if I follow your initial post, it should be solved in the incoming years right ?

You see, that summarize quite a lot of my problems with the "all renewable evangelism".
You’ll be replaced soon too because right now your click buttoning things to save money, once everyone can click button their app idea into prod?

Hardware is hit or miss. Had very good experience with ThinkPads.

I don't get the old games part. This is something where Linux absolutely shines, a lot of old Win9x games run perfectly fine on Wine, but fail on modern Windows for weird reasons. The biggest hurdle is usually DRM and Anti-Cheat, but I guess I'm lucky here because I don't play any competitive multiplayer games but more casual stuff. Also I don't use Nvidia. ;)

I just switched completely about a decade ago. Don't even remember what the final straw was. I guess what "helped" was that at the time I was very busy with life and really only had the most basic demands for my computing needs outside of work, so any shortcomings in areas like gaming didn't matter. Basically needed a browser and a text editor. When things got better two or three years down the line, well, it has already been a while since I used Windows, so any shortcomings were just part of life I guess, but also I just figured more and more stuff out over the years. I guess, and that comes down to personal preference, another thing that greatly helped was that I'm just not focused on convenience and somewhat of a minimalist, so I use i3 as the window manager and no further desktop environment. I don't use any file manager but just the terminal. No gvfs, every USB drive gets mounted and unmounted via terminal. I do use NetworkManager but only via nmcli. I guess having grown up on DOS left some impact. It just means less moving parts, so no stupid surprises after an update like "my KDE/gnome file manager suddenly doesn't show any thumb drive I plug in anymore".

I don't pretend Linux is ready for the average Joe. More and more people seem to think so, but I wouldn't even give it to my mom even though her only use case really is browsing the web and writing a letter about twice a year.

> To be fair, I never read anything about maintenance costs for solar and wind.

Indeed. Those costs are never counted (e.g. how do you service and repair offshore wind farms in the middle of the North Sea). As the costs of decommissioning and replacements are never counted either. Neither are the costs of overprovisioning required for renewables.

I think magic certainly can be art, though I agree with you that it often isn't. Really good magicians are uncommon. But I think the same could be said about actors in general. A magician is an actor playing the part of a conjuror, and most actors in general are just not very good. Acting is hard. It's not, Gene Cousineau notwithstanding, just hitting your mark and saying the lines.

And this is a perfect example of the type of conversation that happens when the correct answer is that we don't know the answer but everyone keeps talking in circles pretending there's a way to know with any certainty other than testing all (or a carefully chosen random sample) of the other denials and getting the actual data. Whenever there's a disagreement where both sides seem reasonable it means that both sides are wrong because the correct answer is that the information present is inadequate to distinguish. All the potential reasons for things going one way or another are also just hypothesis to test since the gut feeling could be right and the reason wrong, and just getting a percentage on the rest isn't enough to figure out why that percentage is what it is
When you generate blue noise by shaping in the frequency domain and transforming, the samples are gaussian distributed, not uniform, as the author mentions. I wonder if you can transform to a uniform distribution by sorting the samples, choosing 256 bins of equal size, then quantizing each pixel into those bins. That would be fast: O(n log n) in number or pixels.

Changing from gaussian to uniform is a distortion that presumably adds harmonics, but since they can only be higher frequencies than the original, the noise should still be blue.
Who do you think is using renewable power that is not connected to a grid? Poor off-grid communities are pretty much exclusively burning fossil fuels or biomass for primary energy, which are most certainly not carbon-neutral or good for the environment.
The article calls it "an inflammatory title and a potentially incorrect contention" and those happen to be the two things that HN asks to be edited out of titles ("unless it is misleading or linkbait." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), I've taken a crack at shrinking the claim down to the article's actual complaint.

If there's a better (more accurate and neutral) title, preferably using representative language from the article itself, we can change it again.
> But maintaining an up-to-date (n)vim setup seems like a huge time sink. In my experience, plugins are constantly deprecated and forked, or have breaking changes that need to be debugged.

I think it's worth putting the effort in to learning core vim functionality. Once you do then you find that you don't need some of those plugins that you're having trouble with.

These days I run with a pretty light .vimrc and no plugins.
It is, because removing this barrier to entry and editorial power would lead to spam and SEO bullshit, which arguably already exists. Knowledge does not equal amount of content.

I think the reason is because expectations were different. ChatGPT was released to the general public for general use. Galactica was really only noticed by the egg head press and egg head professionals (like myself) who rightly identified the failure of these statistical language models to have a grounding in facts. People whose job it is to notice details are going to push your model to the limit.

But it’s not like ChatGPT was better. If I recall, RLHF actually made hallucinations slightly worse. Even today OpenAI wouldn’t claim to be able to accurately summarize papers. It’s just that there was an endless supply of “write X in the style of Y” that was like catnip for journalists and kept them busy for months.
If you’re willing to deal with 5 layers of C++ TMP, then a library like Kokkos will let you abstract over those APIs, or at least some of them. Eventually if or when SYCL is upstreamed in the llvm-project it’ll be possible to do it with clang directly.
