I never claimed that they "require a traditional publisher", in fact I explicitly point out that you can pay for these yourself (though I can't imagine putting together a good team of editors without having prior publishing experience).

My point was that, in response to the parent claiming there's nothing traditional publishers offer, these are things that traditional publishers do in fact offer an author. If you write for a traditional publisher you mostly have to just worry about writing, and, unfortunately, marketing these days.
it's possible to self-medicate your ADHD with things like coffee, energy drinks, and anything else that'll produce a dopamine response.

To put it another way, sometimes I manage my ADHD by hyperfocusing on something superficial, and letting it consume all my extra attention while I actually pay attention to what I want, which is usually someone talking.

An example of this is a fidget spinner. though I don't have anything like that, I just have some sort of object-- a screw, a AA battery, a paperclip, in my hand that I'll seem to be focused on. Without it, its a lot harder to focus on whos talking. I assure you, I'm not really paying attention to whatever the object is. But by doing so, it lets me herd myself and focus myself.

I also take meds to help, but not all meds work the same for people.

I'd advise to let your partner get their rounds of dopamine by whatever methods they want so long as it isn't self-destructive.

ADHD above all else is an impulsivity issue. From wetting the bed at a young age to impulse buying as an adult, decisions are made quicker than we sometimes want.

Maybe direct that decision-making to more constructive things. Your partner probably excels at these quick decisions, find a way to channel them and everyone can be happier.

ADHD isnt a walk in the park, and it impacts relationships significantly. There's a lot of common elements though and armed with knowledge the whole thing can be a lot easier to work with. To the non-adhd partner, it can be beyond maddening. I suggest addressing that issue directly, and this site has some good info about it.

Oh yeah, big common thing is how painful it can be to detach from something you have become focused on. the reason it's painful is more PTSD-- with a lifetime of distractions that led down the road of "I forgot to do it" we hold on to what we're focused on tighter... and tighter. interruption can produce explosive reactions. It's all about the fear of not being able to resume the thought. Not even remembering that you need to resume it, or if you want to, you just can't.

To the non-adhd, it would be like someone walking up to you while you're reading a book and just pulling the book out of your hands and shutting it. Before you got to see what page you were on. So the trick.. is to learn how to mark that page, before setting it down to see what your partner wants to talk about. That's a life skill right there, it is not an overnight thing.

good luck and I hope things get easier

It happened at least twice.

The first time, it gave jQuery, which notably inherited the $ and the terser syntax from perl. The second time, indeed, JS found Perl's "use strict" quite cute.
A news thing I read today said the trend was opposite. Norwegian article and no reference to whatever publication they based that claim on, but serious newspaper at least.

Single biggest bugbear for me using emacs over SSH (non-TRAMP, remote-ssh and run emacs --daemon and then emacsclient -t locally on that machine) is on a laptop, I find that the session drops frequently and I need to reconnect (sometimes after hitting return-tilde-dot to unfreeze the dead terminal session). I've never really figured out how to fully stabilize my SSH (and I certainly don't have anything as convenient as "Actually auto-restores the session if it breaks," which is something vscode seems capable of doing for the shells it opens).

Second bugbear is running in terminal so all my GUI conveniences are missing, but it's emacs so that's a distant second to the first.

I get the sentiment, and there is due diligence such as background checks required for many public trust positions for that reason, but is there really legal liability created immediately at the time of hiring someone because of their record- or does it just satisfy the models more when you hire someone that got convicted versus someone that has not?

I drove Chicago->SF recently. I had to stop for bathroom breaks before gas ran out. And then you might as well fill up the gas and get something to eat. And you should stretch your legs for 5-10 min. Oh what do you know, by now my EV has enough miles to do the same all over again in about 300 miles. And I made the trip in 2 LONG days (36 hours of driving). And EV would not have slowed me down on this breakneck pace. I have no idea where all these families are road tripping off to who have to beat some world record time.
Sounds like it! Though also closer to 15y than 10y old, which explains some of the difference.

And now for a feature request: LFO control the mix.

I'm starting to find that my mix is noticeably repetitive after a few minutes. I would like the app to automatically bring in and out other selected sounds over a period of time to reduce the repetition.

However, I know this flies in the face of simplicity, I don't know how you'd go about adding that in a way that's easy to use? Perhaps you add some "timers" and link them to sounds, such that each "timer" fades in/out over some preset periods (1/5/10/15 minutes ?)
The key is maintenance. If you wash that wall every day it will never develop water stains, and a flat unadorned wall is easier to wash than one with a lot of nooks and crannies.

A lot of walls don't get washed every day though, even the flat minimalist ones. What makes sense for a school or a hospital or a courthouse might not make sense for a home or a condo.
This is pretty weak and unscientific evidence. The author, directly or indirectly, lumps politicians like Bill Clinton and for-profit business like Scripps into the “science” boat, which in my opinion, is bad reporting. Those are not evidence of the academic field gone awry. A small list of gaffs by institutions doesn’t say anything about the magnitude, and completely ignores how much is going right with science.

There’s no question that some academic institutions and people get it wrong and/or succumb to dramatic and wrong science, that has always been true. The pressures in science might even be getting worse over time because it’s more crowded and most low-hanging fruit has been picked, so publishing is getting more difficult. (BTW if you haven’t seen BobbyBroccoli’s “The Rise of Jan Hendrik Schön” on YouTube, it’s fantastic and worth watching!)

Even that isn’t evidence of academics getting it wrong in this case, and it doesn’t compare in magnitude to how bad science reporting in the media is. Reporters don’t generally understand the science they report, they are under space and time constraints, and they have every incentive to drop subtlety and magnify drama. There’s not even a question about why science reporting is bad: because almost all reporting is bad for the same reason.

Academic Science isn’t crap Bill Clinton or Scripps says, it’s a process that assumes nothing is true and seeks truth by testing. There has been nothing better in human history, and nothing that has brought the world further faster, than science. Yes people sometimes corrupt it, because that’s what people do to everything, but the only choice we have is to keep on top of corrupting influences and keep doing science.
This exactly the opposite of my recommendation.

I want users are able to execute upgrades and don’t have to care about “details” like the bad/missing support of Wayland in the past by Nvidia, modified APIs or restrictions imposed by EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. And a game developer probably wants ensure compatibility only with Mesa.

German article about how Nvidia accepted their situation and how the code will be built into Linux:
https://www.heise.de/news/Linux-Kernel-Entwickler-druecken-f...

Basically - Linux won. It is not a perfect victory because a lot of code goes now into firmware which creates another set of issues. And it will require long time to get on par with AMD or Intel. Linux and GNU won because they remained stubborn and the consumers and industry supported that. Nobody wants a PlayStation or SteamDeck with closed source modules. Neither machine industry or car manufacturers. Yes, benchmarks attract customers in short term - but in long term it must be reliable for years and decades. Imagination Technologies and ARM recently also changed their minds. It is sad that this all could have happened 15 years ago. Maybe people learn?

Why a toaster from 1949 is still smarter than any sold today (2021)
Miss me with that, dawg. We’re talking about people smart enough to be reading science content in the first place.

My wife and I purchased a 1920s home for exactly this reason. It's not a magnificent home by any means, but at that time, they seemed to pay more attention to small details. Simple things like the kinds of molding used. The kinds of window frames on the outside. The attention paid to the facade rather than just the function of the home on the inside. The leading on the glass of the builtins (which conveniently also makes it very easy to replace broken pieces). The art deco themes on the door. The stair railings which are both functional, yet artistic at the same time. Not to mention the lighting, which is so far removed from 'Restoration Hardware generic chic' that it almost makes you want to cry to think about the kind of thing we find acceptable today. Everything is subtle but it makes life better to live in something pretty rather than meh.
FCC Protects What's Left of Media Ownership Limits After Trump Attacks
The cheapest Chevy from 2010 I can find is the 2010 Aveo LS at $11,965. My only guess is that it was some 2010 model that had been sitting for 10+ months and they needed to get them off the lot.

Even with this, a new Aveo for $12k in 2010 would now be ~$17k with inflation. New cars today seem to be around $17k and that includes the Versa and the Mirage. Of course wages haven't risen with inflation but that's another can of worms.
Maybe you did this many years ago, but looking at that route there are superchargers dotted all along that route.

There is nothing to be “terrified” about. You are conflating different types of “long covid”.

Some covid infections, just like the cold or the flu, cause symptoms longer than the 5-7 days, maybe for 2-3 weeks. That’s long covid. Also remember that long covid symptoms include symptoms like depression and it ends up not being very rigorously defined.

Then there is the version that creates long term chronic fatigue symptoms. That is a much smaller percentage of the population, more like 1% or less. The chances of getting that are extremely small and there’s nothing to be terrified about. You can also get CFS from the flu, and other benign diseases.

Just from looking at the general population it’s easy to see that 1/8 people are not suffering from long covid. Just like how I know someone who got the vaccine and she ended up being crippled by arthritis from the vaccine, but that is not a common side effect at all otherwise we would have seen that more often in the people around us.
If you'll allow me to converse with my tongue half-way in my cheek, I'd argue that Clarke's law is false: technology is distinguishable from magic, because magic knows right from wrong, but technology doesn't :)

Young people might never have used telnet (assuming their system has it), no have learned that to quit telnet you can do "^]" (control + right square bracket), which will give you a "telnet> " prompt, then type "quit" and press enter to exit the telnet connection.

You may need to reset your terminal afterwards.
I drove from Reno to LA recently in a Model Y and my charging stops all lined up with bathroom breaks and food. I never actually waited for the charging process itself. It doesn't take 45min and it's not like I have any interest in sitting for more than 3h-4h straight without stopping at all. I've done plenty of long distance trips with my kids and the Tesla and, really, charging is a non-issue.

The only actual negative I have is that chargers aren't as present in remote locations and if it's not a Tesla charger, it's not real. Also when towing a camper uphill to Yosemite, it was stressful but we made it on top.
How do the promo codes work?

You may want to adjust the UI so that it's a bit more clear a user can "try" the app. Because it makes it seem like you have to subscribe and it initially comes off as one of those dark pattern apps.

iOS allows for the use of "animated" wallpapers. (it will, for instance, use the frames from a live photo). You can consider something like that for a future update. It wouldn't require full video creation, but maybe just subtle 3d or motion Effects of the existing AI outputs.
I just did a road trip with my family (four kids aged 6-13). If we had an EV, I would have simply topped off the battery any time we stopped for a bathroom break (I get excited whenever we're able to pass a service plaza without someone needing to go).

> Anyone thats driven a Hybrid Toyota will tell you that fuel consumption is dramatically less, in my real world scenarios I use about 2.5x less gas in something like a Toyota Corolla Cross compared to my not overly thirsty ICE BMW.

well that depends on the ICE car and your driving behaviour. E.g. VW group turbo 4 cylinders from ~5y ago are very efficient. I drive a 5yo Seat Leon ST (basically like a slightly smaller Golf Variant, e.g. a typical European hatchback), and mostly at highway speeds with some mountain driving also. With this I get ~45-47mpg or ~5.0-5.2l/100km. A hybrid would maybe get me up to 50mpg but not much more, as highway speeds are not really where they gain you much. They're great for the occasional shopping run, but where I live those are max. 20min driving both ways, so not that much of an impact either.
Agree on Airalo. I had better luck with Dent.
>a way to generalize the compute graph as a learnable parameter.

Agreed. Seems analogous with how human mental processes are used to solve the kind of problems we'd like LLMs to solve (going beyond "language processing" which transformers do well, to actual reasoning which they can only mimic). Although you risk it becoming a Turing machine by giving it flow control & then training is a problem as you say. Perhaps not intractable though.
Have these ever been weaponised?
> apparently, it'll split, and then you have TWO of them.

This sounds like a myth to me so I tried to confirm / debunk it. It seems that all the online reporting goes back to a story about a specimen found in Woking aquatics[0].

The store manager said that when the worm broke into three pieces, the head piece lived on and the middle piece moved around as well.

I'm not confident that means that the middle piece grew a new head and continued to live.

Can anyone here shed more light on this?

You seem to have a serious misconception about either the US Navy or the oceans.

There are actually satellites that do it. Over the course of many days. And it's not easy or quick to act on their feedback. Something like a military or police patrol simply can not happen.
Looking over the shoulder of family members using Instagram and youtube it's amazing how many ads are presented. I used Twitter on holiday without my usual adblocker and the feed was full of ads.

We have a process whereby people can request a change after a certain period (and team permitting) to allow people to rotate amongst different clients and different work streams.

And to think he often overstates things.

A modern cell tower can handle a lot of throughput overall because it can slice a cell site into a lot of small sectors and handle a lot of clients in it. A single satellite covers many, many square miles even with a very, very narrow beam. Plus you're just dealing with vastly different SNR, power levels, speed differentials, etc.

Seconded. I buy 2 varieties of Muji pens -- 0.38 and 0.5 Gel Ballpoint -- and stash them everywhere.

A while back I heard the phrase "If you ask 'where is the good XYZ' it means you have a 'bad' XYZ". I was inspired to throw out all of my cheapo pens and always have a good one nearby.

Same with power cables, scissors, tape, and other small household accessories. They're too cheap to have to worry about 1. where they are and 2. where the "good" one is.
