Ok so these are my personal experiences as an “intelligent” scattered ADHD type. Meditation works, exercise works, medication works, talk therapy works, organisational systems work. Organisational systems emerge as a result of effort applied and previously mentioned interventions. Read about your disability and understand it. Learn to understand your own limitations. Medication may be the spring board to form habits that do not cure your ADHD but manage its impact.

Some psychiatrists feel that ADHD is a manifestation of a deep discomfort with societal rules that were forced upon someone from birth, without consent. I feel some truth to this. This paragraph is not advice but speculation.

"User-friendly" is a matter of judgement not of fact.

> I am making a concrete statement here: that 200 lines of code is a lot simpler than whatever you will have to do for security engineering

Again, that's not a statement of fact, but setting that aside personally I'm unimpressed. It's easy to imagine multinenant databases with sensitive information providing safety guarantees in under 200 lines of DDL.
Vim/Neovim need package managers or at least package repos with a great degree of curation.

I really like the Sourceforge/PyPi maturity ("5 - Production/Stable") ratings. Of course they can be misleading, but at least they're a data point.

I also like the idea of package bundles, but more than that, I like the idea of package bundles which are suggested by core devs, to make them a bit more official. Sort of 2nd tier of trust.

First, get advice from a psych.

Anecdotally, after much dithering for the same reasons as you, I was diagnosed with mostly inattentive type in my 30s, and started on Adderall XR. I got better at work. I didn’t lose hyperfocus, I just gained the ability to turn it off if I wanted to. Also, boring work like Jira backlog cleaning became possible.

The only downside is it’s an appetite suppressant, so if you already struggled to eat enough, that’ll get harder. Put some trail mix by your desk; it’s a lot easier to munch on a few handfuls than it is to stop working and get up.

Personally, I’m now on Mydayis, which is a triple-release XR, because Adderall XR wasn’t lasting long enough for me – turns out it’s very helpful to have your brain working properly in the late afternoon / evening as well, especially if you have kids (which I do).
So too can the stars, or proper time/speed/direction navigation.

I'm not saying GPS isn't useful. I'm saying it hasn't had a life changing impact for the masses that allows for a larger population (eg it's not providing more food, shelter, etc).

Another curious feature of human memory is "spreading activation."1 Our memories are stored in interconnected neural pathways. When we try to remember something, we activate a pathway of neurons to access the targeted information. However, activation is not contained within one pathway. Some of the activation energy spreads to other connected pathways, like heat radiating from a hot water pipe. This spreading activation leaves related pathways primed for activation for hours.1

He frames this as negative in the next paragraph, but this sounds like the mechanism by which memory palaces work.

One thing to point out is that the study looked at Norwegians where while the wealth gap between high PA and low PA jobs is probably still significant it may be less pronounced than it would be in someplace like America or the UK. It still feels significant enough to be worthwhile to address though.

I think I have a somewhat similar case. Whenever there's an important or interesting task at work, it's literally impossible for me to distract and stop before it's done. I can skip my dinner and sleep because my mind is fully focused on the task. Because of that, I can also do a lot.

On the other hand, I cannot watch movies or read books because my mind wanders every second and it's really hard to concentrate.

I also suffer a lot from frequent anxiety.

Anyway, amphetamines are not allowed where I live
What are you offering apart from general sales/marketing experience? Do you have an idea for a business? Are you looking to meet someone technical who has a product idea or just a technical person period? If the former you could look in places where founders typically announce their projects/startups - askhn, producthunt, yc website
etc. You would then contact them offering very specific ways you could help and be of value. If the latter, local meetups for developers are good places to find technical people but keep in mind offering not much more than vague and generic business skills is not offering a lot and not likely to impress most technical founders who already tend to undervalue such skills and/or overestimate their own abilities in those areas.

The common method in Europe is just to move or left the carcasses out, so they are scavenged by several animals. After a week wolves appeared and left traces, so it was paid as "wolf kill". This was known because some people put hidden cameras.

When bear kills started to being paid by an ecologist group there was an awful lot of scam attempts also. I think that paying for predator damage are counterproductive at best, and at worst "fossilize" as a system to scam taxers and reinforce scammers.

Is not much different than expecting to be paid if you go for a beach day and you are stung by a jellyfish, or it rained that day. There are old proven solutions to reduce drastically this loses, is just that farmers choose not to use them.
You are in this case because the problem is with the owner of the business.

The video demonstrates the 1:1 coin size case and speaks about the curvature of the line it rolls on, but your thought experiment makes it a lot clearer. As the size of the other coin goes to 0, the amount "gnawed off" of the rolling coin will also go to 0 while obviously still rotating a full revolution.
Seek professional advice and trust your intuition.
It should be noted that the very idea of studying links between "race" (skin color) and intelligence is deeply suspect. No one is studying things like correlation between hair wavyness and intelligence, or penis length and intelligence, etc. And yet skin color is exactly the same kind of trait: something you were born with and that is tied to the genetic baggage of your parents, with no remotely plausible direct link with intelligence (unlike, say, skull size, which at least had some plausible priors). You can even (somewhat) change the color of your skin if you really want.

Now, there may be, at least in principle, families, and by extension populations, who are more or less intelligent, on average, than others. But "race" has little to do with that: these types of studies only look at skin color as a proxy for population, and that is obviously silly on genetic grounds. Dark skin is a dominant trait, the children of a lighter skinned parent and a darker skin parent will usually have darker skin and be assigned the racial category "black" in such research, even though genetically they are just as much a member of the lighter skinned population as the darker skinned one. Even worse, this often persists across a few generations, so a child with 1 dark skinned grand parent and 3 light skinned ones will often be dark skinned themselves, and thus be called "black" in many such studies.

So, the reason you should be very very much concerned with citing studies that find links between "race" and intelligence is that the very premise is wrong in the vast majority of the literature.
That would be levels and levels of indirection because 32K can be loaded at once and to address 2G in 32K chunks you need over 32K just for the address of the block. And then you need a part of the code loaded that actually does that swapping. You would need at least 3 levels for every memory address. Each 32K chunk would have its own address that would be loaded from two 32K chunks, that’s how giant its address is. And then that block would be loaded in.

I think that it would be literally impossible to have random access memory of 2G.

A lot of people are instinctively anti-medicine, but a common counter-thread you'll see is: "Man, I wish I had tried medication earlier." They are also both quite generic and non-specific to you and your circumstances.

Medication under an experienced psychiatrist, supplemented by effective non-medical therapy, allows you to temporarily try medication and gain individual experience whether it is a good decision for you.
I even got TB4 signal through one of those USB-C "magnetic" adapters [0], I figured that this would shift wear from repeated plugging from the expensive device to a cheap adapter.

I've played with a bunch of hackintosh setups and these days just stick with M1 Macbook Airs. They are incredibly capable and silent machines.
I have a compromise setup but it seems to work ok. Two MacBooks, one pro, both M1.

One is plugged into a TS3+. The other is plugged into a USB-C dock to get Ethernet and a USB-A input, but I don't use the video out. Instead, I run a Thunderbolt to DP cable from a second TB port to the KVM switch.

I use this KVM ordered on Amazon: Cable Matters USB 3.0 KVM Switch DisplayPort 1.4 for 2 Computers with 8K@60Hz

Pros: preserves 5K@60Hz for both machines, switches keyboard, mouse, and a webcam just fine.

Cons: no hot key switching, another remote to lose, no EDID emulation so the computers fall asleep when they're not active, switching takes a bit. Sometimes a machine doesn't wake up when I switch back to it so I have to fiddle with cables, but that's been pretty rare.

Wayland is a good image of the main issue a company can have with developers.

From the point of view of the Dev, the product that was created is perfect, satisfying in term of design/technical specs.

But the dev does not care about the users experience. He does not realize that the most important is not how it is done or to be conceptually perfect but to reply to user needs. To do the job.

No one cares about the thing being changed/reworked, to use x, wayload or whatever but everyone expect basic features (available for decades everywhere) of Desktop to work easily out of the box.

If the result of those thousands of hours is worth <= 10000 by some valuation method which makes sense to me.

More nuanced answer: I have a project that I've been plugging away at for years now. It may never pay for itself if I value my time at the same rate that I charge it out to others, but in that time it's improved the quality and speed of my other outputs significantly.

In that regard it's probably already paid for itself, but I wouldn't sell it because it continues to be valuable to me both in that regard and as a creative outlet.

If it were a throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks saas I'd have no problem selling it for a reasonable valuation of future earnings.
Ask HN: Why Are We Not Building Lisp Machines
Since the closest we got to AGI was LISP machines, why are we not building modern LIPS machines?
Nah, you just have to size things correctly. Passives are fine.

You use a 100K resistor if you really need to keep things at 0402 for 100V. (P=V^2/R = 0.1 watt)

A 0.1uF 0402 ceramic cap rated at 100V is half a cent.

The biggest problem are your power transistors with max Vgs. That requires a bit of care at 24V; requires quite a bit more care at 48V; requires very specialized topologies at 96V.

Yes yes, I'm not saying the government illegally acted against this infiltration.

Just that, because of the protected status of religion, it was much harder for the government to use the same mechanisms it uses against foreign nationals attempting similar things. So, even though Scientology has nowhere near the levels of motivation and resources as China or the USSR did, it was far easier for them to conduct such an operation (before they were caught once).

And this is your word. That's it.

The rest I really don't care about because I'm just as capable of writing plausible-sounding walls of text without a single link to a study or a statistic. I try not to do that.

> that demand, and there only big consumers matter

Ah yes. Only big consumers. We've increased our electricity requirements 5-fold, but that doesn't matter. The "big consumers" will halt their production when there isn't enough electricity.

> We do need baseload, because while solar and wind are unpredictable, they depend on the weather to produce, and might not produce enough sometimes

I'd say often

> almost a guarantee, your claim of zero is local so, large grids mitigate that

The grid can mitigate it if there's a stable baseload generation available. A month ago there was a day when all of Europe's wind and solar combined was producing something like 10% of installed capacity. Saved by copious amounts of coal burning (and also by nuclear and some hydro).

So, riddle me this: when there isn't enough renewable energy, do "big consumers" halt their production, or the electricity consumption remains the same? And what does this tell you about "we don't require as much baseload anymore", given that our electricity requirements have grown 500% in the past 40 years?

I'm getting so tired of the "X11 is so horrible it had to be replaced (with something less capable but conceptionally cleaner)" spin by the Wayland hipsters.

I remember using an SGI workstation around 1992 which had a perfectly usable and complete X11 desktop environment, which according to Wikipedia was 5 years after X11 was released (1987), and 8 years after the X Window System was invented (1984).

Wayland has been in development for 15(!) years, has a much smaller scope than X11, and it's still a hot mess. I doubt that the 1980's programmers were so much better or more productive than the programmers working today on Wayland, which in turn means there must be something fundamentally wrong with the basic idea or design of Wayland?

Basically, moving on to an X11 successor should be a no-brainer for all Linux desktop users and not require one justification blog post after another why some things don't work anymore as they used to.

Supplements. Almost 2 months on 200mg b6 daily (first paper), a couple of weeks with added b2 (found the second paper). Effects kicked in in ~half a week. Contrary to the paper, the effects still mostly wear off in over a day. Tried both ritalin and non-stimulants before (which worked), but all had bad side effects. These vitamins are about as effective for the issues I had.

I didn't get tested first, so can't tell if I would come up with the described deficiencies from the second paper.
