> As a medical diagnosis it is consistently overdiagnosed, and dangerously underdefined.

Maybe in your population, but it is under-diagnosed in the following populations: adults, women/girls, prison population, gifted/talented students, populations with an exceptional stigma towards mental disorders.

I don’t understand what you mean by ADHD being under-defined.

> You will suffer from the "symptoms" of ADHD.

Suffering the symptoms and having those symptoms significantly interfere with your life is what it means to have ADHD.

> Typically, unstable or volatile childhood environments are seen as a key driver of this.

This is false. Child rearing has little to no effect on having the disorder. However, genetic variation contributes to (i.e. has an effects size of) at least 70% of the disorder.

> Posses an above average IQ

IQ is negatively correlated with ADHD… are you discussing a specific type of person with ADHD with the second paragraph?

Man, those are some terrible statistics... 142.86% of nothing is still nothing.

For starters, searches for just the term ‘X’ have increased by 19.4 per cent,
while searches for ‘Twitter’ have fallen by 26 per cent in the same period.
While plenty of peopke still refer to X as its former title and news outlets
still often follow mentions of X with “formally Twitter”, it’s clear from this
data that interest in the term Twitter is fading, slowly but surely.
Since the switch, searches for ‘create X account’ have also risen by 142.86
per cent.

> It Sure Looks Like Governments Want to Let AI Surveillance Run Wild

Until "security forces" are at their door. And then they will try to complain, but it will be too late. Some people never learn.
And for the first time in the history of those stories, reality is extremely close to that fiction.

The reasons those stories are told over and over is because we're highly susceptible to things that use our pleasure centers in ways that lead to maladaptive outcomes. You could reframe this to say we've collectively warned ourselves about this for decades, and we're still plunging headlong towards this future despite realizing how badly it can turn out in a worst case.
This is the first post in LessWrong that I found interesting and not insipid navel gazing.

My interpretation of the finding is that the LLM training has revealed the primordial nature of human language, akin to the primary function of genetic code predominately being to ensure the ongoing mechanical homeostasis of the organism.

Language’s evolutionary purpose is to drive group-fitness. Group management fundamentals are thus the predominant themes in the undefined latent space.

Who is in our tribe? Who should we trust? Who should we kill? Who leads us?

These matters likely dominated human speech for a thousand millennia.
> Heisenberg uncertainty principle is more a statement about the limits of knowledge than about "God throwing dice".

This isn't what physicists believe though, Heisenberg uncertainty principle is about a wave not having both a well defined position and velocity. They either drift apart (undefined velocity) or they are spread apart (undefined position). Then the wave collapse keeps the wave together over time by randomly removing parts of it, we have no theory where that isn't random even "many world" means you randomly select one of the branches to follow.

We do know for sure that particles are waves that spread out and exist in all of those parts, it isn't just that it represent a point particle with unknown location. And we know for sure that those waves under certain circumstances withdraw from parts and just keep other parts, ie wave collapses. Both of those are easily observed in experiments and not up for debate.
That implies government requests were the sole source of Twitter's censorship.

> Can you clarify what "true randomness" means out side of the context of human agency and perception?

Depending on your Interpretation of QM, randomness is a fundamental aspect of reality. How does a quantum superposition of two states resolve? The canonical view is wavefunction collapse, which is ultimately random, and attempts to find some pattern underneath it all generally fail. Look at the Bell Inequalities, which demonstrate that any theory which attempts to reproduce the successful predictions has to either be non-local, or non-realistic, and must be incompatible with local hidden variables.

Now does that mean nature is random? I don't know, no one does, because we're sure that QM isn't a complete theory. It is a really good theory though, in some domains such as QED it's been tested to more than 11 decimal places and found to hold. The difficulty of making a new theory that matches that precision and represents a paradigm shift can't be overstated. The result is that a lot of time is spent on those aforementioned Interpretations, you've probably heard of some, such as "The Many Worlds Interpretation" aka parallel universes. After all if everything happens, and we just happen to only perceive a part of it, then there is no randomness... no hidden variable. When a quantum state collapses, part of it doesn't just vanish, it's just out of our site.

The problem with that is... there's no evidence to support it, probably no way to even test it. Anyway, the bottom line is that maybe there is real randomness, and maybe there isn't, we just don't know.
Do you count wave particle duality as randomness?

Certainly the dual slit experiment makes hidden variables very hard to preserve.

Additionally several tests have shown that hidden variables don't work to explain quantum mechanics, there aren't possible coins the allow the kind of probabilities we see.
This is a cynical take. JetBrains knows what's best for its business. It knows that Microsoft presents a clear and present danger to extincting them and all of their hard work.

LLMs have a huge role in the future of engineering, whether or not you like it. They present massive productivity boosts. I'm a senior Rust engineer and I've seen my development time nearly cut in half after using LLMs. And we're just getting started.

If JetBrains doesn't start adopting this tech at a feverous pace, they're toast.

This is life or death.
Absolutely. I find it an interesting thought experiment and nothing more unless and until we determine some way to actually see through the veil and identify these extra-universal hidden variables. (At which point our conception of the universe may expand to include these variables and whatever else exists in that outer layer.)

I think the author is broadly correct: I think basically everyone can agree that we're in an AI investment bubble, and it is important and interesting to try to evaluate what, if anything, will be left when it pops.

But it strikes me as intellectually dishonest to assume in advance that everything that is currently being built will fail entirely.

Doctorow is so relentlessly cynical about tech in general and Silicon Valley in particular that I find it really hard to read his stuff without rolling my eyes.

Take this section:

> In other words, an AI-supported radiologist should spend exactly the same amount of time considering your X-ray, and then see if the AI agrees with their judgment, and, if not, they should take a closer look. AI should make radiology more expensive, in order to make it more accurate.

Implicit in this statement is the assumption that AI evaluation of X-rays will never get any better than it is right now. Why? Why would we assume that when the long arc of technology bends always towards things getting better/faster/cheaper?
Agreed although I'm somewhat confused since the three js source code is JavaScript not TypeScript.
Only #if you ignore the hundred other issues with building portable c++ code:

* Libraries
* ABIs
* Build system(s)
* Platform compiler support...

In compiled/interpreted land, most if not all of these are solved problems. Even for libraries, usually dependencies can be reliably downloaded and recompiled (if they are not compiled on the fly).

I don't really care if you can create a "portable header" library when the ecosystem is sharded, and "portable" only holds true for some subset of c++ compiler/platforms.
May I suggest reading the article before commenting on it? As your question is answered in the first sentience.

Eventually the pendulum swung back for BLAS libraries, the currently popular strategy is hand-tuned assembly kernel in libraries where the most important kernels have been identified.

But BLAS is a very weird case, there are only a couple kernels that you care about (and the most important, GEMM, has been studied like crazy). And BLAS is used under the hood by pretty much the whole HPC community, so there’s incentive for tons of expert human time investment.

You can look at ilbflame/BLIS for the modern strategy.

ATLAS is still neat, perhaps one can even derive more generally applicable lessons from that library, not sure…
> It'd look like their friends were ignoring them, weren't interested in them, etc., possibly leading to depression

If my friends seemed to be ignoring my tweets, I'd certainly ask them what's up with that through a different mechanism (in person, through texting, whatever). If the only interaction I have with a person is through Twitter, then it's a real stretch to call them "friends" in the first place.

I can notice audio and video being 50ms out of sync. Surely when interacting one could do better.

edit: I recall reading about timing experiments. IIRC good participants could get down to 10ms accuracy when trying to time moving their finger to a signal.
Because the whole way they've handled this situation reeks.

Oh, we'll get you on a wait list. Bullshit. Waitlist never came in.

It's OK to say the waitlist closed. Keeping people hopeful is a shitty move.

Then to pull this on launch... (sigh) I didn't want to have to waste time on this shit. I'll go back to VSCode, neovim or whatever if I must.

I'm more frustrated with myself that I trusted them to provide me a year+ of quality service... and that isn't happening.
hmm... It was fairly un scientific.. I will try VSync and report back. I would prefer to use X tbh, because of these bugs. It's certainly not seconds behind, but yea, maybe more like 50-100ms instead of 17.

I tried the JetBrains AI copilot and was pretty unimpressed. On a whim I decided to try out the GitHub CoPilot plugin and I've been pretty blown away by it. When I'm writing dumb boilerplate code it often times gives me a correct suggestion before I can even think about it. I've found myself just tab-completing through big blocks 99% correct code. The lower cognitive overhead for cranking out easy code is well worth the $10/month for me. Of course it's not a huge help with anything complicated, but I've found it doesn't get in the way enough to have much of a downside.
This is so beautiful, I’m sure this will be one of those shots that will inspire an interest in astronomy for generations to come.
> Why would belief that we are just agents responding predictably to stimuli imply that one would not respond predictably to stimuli?

This is determinism, not superdeterminism.

Superdeterminism claims that the state of any system you measure is always already correlated with the measurements you perform on it: photons emitted a billion years ago encode information about where someone is going to choose to point a telescope tomorrow. Not because of any interaction between the two, but because the initial conditions of the early universe just happened to be set up that way.
It's _mildly_ infuriating but disable it and move on.
I live in NYC. The problem is that there’s literally 0 housing. That’s it.

Literally so many people want to move here, but you look on all of streeteasy on a given day and there’s like 500 apartments. In a city of millions.

Sure you can pay more and get something. But it used to be that you traded a lot of quality of life (in unit washer dryer, dishwasher, ac, no walkups, cars, space, etc) for a lower price and the social aspects of living in a city. People don’t believe it, but cities used to be cheap. Now you literally pay more for less in all respects especially during Covid. As the prices have been spiraling up, you also get demographic shifts of only rich people or literally homeless shitting on the streets so you lose the cultural elements of having a diverse income unless you go deep into Brooklyn.

I’m not arguing that NYC is not fun still. It’s still great. But without housing for a semi normal price (I can’t even get a place with a dishwasher for less than 2.5k in most areas), and a lot of it, the trade off for living in nyc is making less and less sense.
> .... a fairly large amount of that "productivity" is fixing mistakes a more focused programmer would have avoided

Holy cow this hits home. I've been on a number of teams like this going back years (decades) and ... I just don't get it. Had I been 'allowed' another 30 minutes, or an hour, or a day, on problem X... we'd have avoided weeks of unraveling problems later. But... no - gotta keep pressing on, hitting those pre-defined deadlines at all costs.

For me if I get into a topic (like 2-3 hours focus time) then interruptions are OK, I won't drop context until end of the day.

If the interruptions happen early in the morning so I never have the 2-3 hours boot up time, then that day is pretty much a zero from lines of code produced perspective.

Note: if it's some trivial boilerplate code then I can even be productive without booting up and with constant interruptions, this only applies to things I don't know how to do and need to research/think
Definitely a textbook example of too much splash.

Seems like it’s Framer-meets-Retool.

Framer has a great UI builder, but doesn’t connect to backends very well. They have their own CMS but the net result is that you typically use it for marketing sites but not business app interfaces.

Retool can connect to a lot of different data sources but is ugly and wouldn’t help build a customer-facing app that I would feel proud of. They give you easy to use UI primitives to get you up and running fast.

This seems like a UI builder that can hook into backend systems.

Some quick bits of feedback after a small bit of skimming (between bad gateway errors, sorry for contributing to all the over-traffic):

- It would be great to see some of the fields from package.json shown as an overview above/next to the README of packages. The homepage and repository fields in particular are often quite useful to have quick access to. You could pull up npmjs.com directly next to this site, but it might be nice to have it all in one place.

- In cases where there is an auto-redirect from package-name to @types/package-name it might be nice to still show the README (and package.json metadata if added) of the original package-name.

- Typedoc upstream includes a dark theme and does the prefers-color-scheme auto-setup. This might be nice to have here, too.
> That is fair. I mostly wanted to express that it’s not going to accomplish their goal. Image generators are here to stay no matter how hard and long you fight against them.

What’s fair? You’re just repeating what you already said.

Image generators are here to stay? No kidding. Kind of like the machines of Industrial Revolution? Yeah, obviously. And people fought back when they in turn started to be treated like cogs in the Machine. And a lot of that worked. Even worked so successfully that we can dismiss those old fogies as backwards and simple. So privileged are we that we don’t have to know the history of what they did for us.

> Of course technological progress is never a painless process, it’s in fact extremely violent and brutal. On the other hand, industrialisation made it possible to feed 10 billion humans and eradicated much of the everyday pain humans had to deal with since the Stone Age. This would not have been possible otherwise.

What on the other hand? Why do you think we have the quality of life that we do? Because people sat on their hands and trusted the invisible hand of progress to sort things out for them? No, it is exactly because they fought back that things are working so well for us today.

But whatever. I’ve got my microwave oven and my fridge. Suck on that, stupid Luddites.

I have the same tool and charger and only noticed the out-of-spec voltage after trying to charge the tool with a regular USB-C cable and charger. It's really disappointing someone thought this is a good design.

Newer revisions of the tool don't seem to have this flaw though. They only come with a USB-C cable and no charger in the box.

Cities are amazingly resilient and it feels like every generation has a moment in which the city largest and most local to them is having a revival. Seems most large metros are going through some post-COVID pains: Increase in crime, extreme high cost of living, etc.

New York will, like always, come back.

But! The benefit to our mid size cities is great. We need these mid size cities to grow, and from my understanding, they have! Larger mid size cities mean a better national network for travel, more opportunities for jobs, growth, and movement of people/families. I'm here for all that.
> After all, if a user doesn’t have to choose from search results, said user also doesn’t have the opportunity to click an ad, thus choosing the winner of the competition Google created between its advertisers for user attention. Google Assistant has the exact same problem: where do the ads go?

This is Google / Alphabet's biggest problem. Unlike Microsoft that has Enterprise, Gaming, Cloud and multiple other 10B+ businesses that don't rely on ads, Google has only cloud.

And Google Cloud is a distant third where they actively sabotage their own success by not caring about customers. 90% of Google revenue comes from ads. From Search, youtube, Adsense e.t.c

If they build an AI that gives exactly what the user wants without ads, Google's stakeholders would fire the CEO the next day.

My perception is that Google is in AI race to be relevant and capture the talent, but they don't want to actively put AI anywhere near their products that would eat into their ad revenue.

Google Brain/Deepmind produces great research, they have the most number of published papers, by a big margin, but Google is not the place if you want to work on productionizing AI.

Top AI Researchers probably make the most money being at the big tech labs - DeepMind / Open AI / Meta FAIR. I've heard comp being into the 10s of millions per year.
I'm beginning to like the revenue driven algorithms. I rarely get the BigCo ads anymore, it's usually small scrappy startups building niche products for the niche activities I enjoy. "Sponsored athletes" are now "influencers" and they're getting paid even more money to push the boundaries of the sports/lifestyles that I dream of, and now I get to experience them both viscerally during the week, and now the barriers to entry are lowered during the weekend now that the ecosystems are growing.

The pace at which hobbies like paragliding, base jumping, foil boarding, mountain biking, hiking, etc are growing is incredible to watch. Engineering talent dedicated towards "fun stuff" (aka top of Maslow's hierarchy and not influential on human survival (in my case the sports are very against raising the rates of survival lol))gets rewarded at paces never before seen.
