> had such a hard time researching autism after someone mentioned it might apply to me because I found most articles to be very stigmatizing.

> I question whether pathologizing differences is that useful.

Homosexuality was first referred to as a "Sexual Deviation" and a "Sociopathic personality disturbance". It's no longer considered a disorder.

Transgenderism (Transsexualism) was referred to as a "psychosexual disorder" or "gender identity disorder". It's no longer considered a disorder but gender dysphoria still is.

Autism is still a disorder, and nothing but a disorder. Autism is defined medically, wholly by weakness, as if that's all autism is. Something we should maybe cure one day, or come up with a pre-natal test for so be can have abortions to ensure such people aren't born.

The "Gold standard" treatment for autism Adaptive Behaviour Analysis has some common heritage between the treatment of Autism and Transgenderism, which involved using adversives (torture), to get people to act in a more gender conforming or less autistic way. I still think about that. If you use essentially the same treatment to modify the behavour of a transgender person or an autistic person, if you do it to the former it's a hate crime, if you do it to the latter it's a medical necessity[1]. I find that VERY revealing as to medicines attitude towards the Autistic, that they are the broken ones who need to change to fit our glorious and perfect society.

The pathologization of Autism is a crime against humanity and probably the first or second most evil thing that has happened to me throughout my entire life. Autism wasn't always a pathology - go 50 years back and nobody considered Autistic here would be considered Autistic by a doctor, wouldn't be considered "Disordered" by their peers, they might have been considered odd but not disordered. Nowadays, there's too much money in pathologizing people as disordered, everybody from parents to schools to doctors to social workers to the autistic people themselves benefit.

I see the status quo as fucked up and firmly believe modern psychiatry has greatly compromised Autistics quality of life through their hateful views on Autism which rub off on the wider popuation. When these esteemed medical experts call you disordered - why shouldn't everybody else think you are?

The way forward I see is how we handled homosexuality and transgenderism - de-pathologise being different from other people - but diagnose people with mental conditions that impair quality of life which are associated with Autism - and use those diagnosis's to allocate support and funding. This model also lets you make more sense of things like how both the richest man in the world and profoundly disabled people who can't hold down a job could both be "Autistic".

[1]ABA is not necessarily evil, it's more how it's used for the purpose of making autistics less autistic or transgender people less transgender which is philosophically fucked up
Much like you don't always press the brake pedal all the way down when you want to slow down, don't release the accelerator pedal completely, only the necessary amount. You're 100% in control of how hard OPD braking is.
Brilliant! I finally have a term for it. Though, while it does happen more often when I'm sick, it still sometimes happens when I'm not. Maybe I just have a hot-running brain. Anyways, thank you again for an actual term I can search with.
I say this with respect.

If you are following the trend of the moment, your chance of success is low.

Everyone and their friend is "working on an AI business" right now. Some might make it. You might be one of them. Most will turn into nothing.

Again, with respect, jumping into AI now shows a lack of imagination. If you want to make something of value, you need to get outside the mainstream, be more creative, not something that's just riding the current hype wave.

I say this to be constructive. Not to insult.
Isn’t it the vendor that should be immediately countersued by the customer for the lack of any actual protection?

Good argument, thanks for the nuance.
For a software engineering project, you probably want to limit your transactions to much less than that (set statement_timeout is your friend). If you've got extremely long transactions, you can probably avoid doing the switch-over when they run (hopefully they are not a random occurrence but a result of a scheduled job or similar).

In combination with transaction time limit and fail-over configuration (where you fail the old primary), you can control the slowdown (instead of downtime, eg. with pgbouncer) very precisely.

I would be more concerned with the DNS TTL being respected in the entire stack (and external caching DNS servers you rely on), tbh.

But it is usually not critical to avoid a dozen seconds of downtime for an app, so whatever is simpler for you should be your go to solution.
Coasting isn't braking. If you want to coast just don't completely release the accelerator pedal, only up until the point where you're no longer accelerating or braking.
There are semi-frequent "Japan weird" (and contrasting) articles that show up here, but my impression is that their culture is indeed uniquely different and lends itself to these sorts of phenomenon. The tendency of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_anthropomorphism to appear may also be related.

I am also tempted to mix in another cultural reference: Prejed! How do you feel about Medjed?
I understand the main interest point being gaming and that perhaps leading to a lack of excitement, but I'm really excited about the immersive video. The idea of being anywhere and being able to watch a movie or show on a huge screen sounds amazing. Still, I wouldn't drop $3k+ to accomplish that. But, as mentioned in the post, it's still in its infancy stage. I like the comparison to the iPhone launch. It's true - I personally don't usually get products at their launch - with the exception being AirPods, and those were magical.
It's my understanding rev hang is about emissions.

That you equate AGI with “chatbot” shows OpenAIs marketing has been successful. That doesn’t mean the two are one in the same or that a chatbot is the actual path there.
Funny. As a college student I found face-to-face interaction was much more important to studying social sciences and humanities than to studying math or theoretical physics or computing which could pretty effectively be studied in a book.

Every one-pedal-driving car I’ve ever tried has nearly no dead zone between acceleration and braking.

Been using it for about 3 years. Your brain honestly figures it out pretty quickly. One pedal ramps the longer your foot isn’t on the pedal like a slow roll so you always instinctively think to hit the brake pedal if you need to stop with any urgency.
If no one knows what it means, what are we talking about when we discuss it?
It says the project is unfinished. What can anyone actually do with it at this point?
I don't understand why they claim that scanning messages erodes privacy: it can be done in the recipient side totally on client side. It could be as easy as a image classifier: "hey, this photo may contain unwanted content (we may be wrong), do you want to see it? Yes, No, Report, Report & Block".

Unfortunately Facebook do an awful job blocking harmful content: I have reported posts where there is obvious phishing, hate speech or even murder threats and... They do nothing. But if you write "tinta negra HP" (HP black ink) they ban you immediately.
Oddly there is no mention of being safer to flying animals like bats for example, which have their sonar wigged out by the turbines.

> Clearly this is not true. The largest companies in the USA are not financial

According to this list[1] of the top 100 largest (public) companies in the US, 14 of the largest companies are in the financial industry, and five more are in insurance. Six if you count Berkshire Hathaway; eight if you also count health insurers (although they're not exactly a financial service exporter, so probably don't count).

So between 19-22 of the largest 100 US companies are in the finance industry. In comparison, there are only eight or nine tech companies, and 11 petroleum businesses. So sure, the.. six largest companies aren't financial companies, but finance is very well represented among the largest companies in the US below that level.

How are private keys identified as compromised? Is that a function of certificate transparency?
It's less about transfer fees. I'm not saying you should make microtransactions to visit webpages.

I'm more imagining a mining-pool made up of webpage visitors. The website allocates you certain blocks of hashes to be calculated and you calculate those. Once they're calculated and the webpage verifies it by randomly double checking a few, then the webpage is served.

A websearch tell me a webpage visit nets the owners about ~2 cents in ad revenue. So you just need to mine some equivalent amount. It'd be sort of like a mining-pool where the overwhelming majority of users don't successfully mine a block - but when someone does the website owner gets the coin.

You could get more sophisticated on top of that and have some central mining-pool coordinator and session cookies etc so that your mining credit transfers across webpages and you can "premine" certain amounts

So the currency becomes more granular at "how many hashes have you calculated" and not how many coins do you have

I could be wrong though ~ It's possible 2 cents of hashes takes hours to crunch on a phone
One pedal feels a lot like transmission braking to be honest. If you want to modulate it you tap the throttle.
You are right that it increases the confidence. If you’re following a known algorithm conformance- and edge case tests can be a blessing. Of course in the case of RSA you need arbitrary precision bigint math which is another issue with adversarial inputs.

(What I meant is that you can’t test whether the algorithm is secure, because you can’t enumerate the weaknesses that a cryptanalyst would attempt.)

It's crazy to me that people are arguing against two stair houses when I have a ladder in my single family home in case of a fire that blocks the stairs.

Fire in the only stairwell or a collapse, guess you just die or hope the fire department saves you before you suffocate.
Stop following the crowd. Where the crowd is, there are lots of people after your job, and if we're honest, probably better than you.

I've had one job my entire career (31 years and counting.) It's very niche tech. I'm good at it. There are maybe 10 other people in the world who can do what I do. And they're all overworked.

The real value and security in tech is in the edges, not the mainstream.
Be specific. I’ve already pointed out the absurdity of the case people try to make that someone with the intellect of a Google VP is fudging numbers in hopes of moving their SFH price. It’s pretty damning that there are many replies with no specifics, only vague insinuations. Ya, that’s about how well these criticisms have been thought out, of course.
You don't need a dead zone. Just modulate the pedal to whatever level of acceleration you want. The car will either regen a little, use a little power or use next to no power if you're at the perfect inclination.

Energy from going downhill (assuming it's steep enough to overcome drag and rolling resistance) can go into either of two places: increased speed or charging your battery. The only difference compared to an ICE is that you only get the first option when going downhill (or wasting it into heat via the brakes).
Another good one is learning and being comfortable driving in the rain, snow, and at night time.

like everyone else says, practice is key.

be predictable and take your time. If you have to go slow, that is fine, even if 1 million people are honking at you from behind. In all my years of driving, i've never been rammed off the road for going too slow. That being said, stick to the right side on 2 lane roads because people will get aggressive if you are on the fast lane (left side). If you need to be somewhere that is time sensitive, leave earlier!
> I tried it for use as N external monitors, but I can't see the point (no pun intended) when I have a 49" wide monitor or for anything else specific because I have an 85" TV on the wall.

The costs of a reliable grid and sufficiently dispatchable electricity are gonna get paid one way or another if the grid customers expect that level of service.

There are lots of ways those costs can be allocated - from user fees in deregulated markets or from ratepayers in vertically integrated systems, and probably a million permutations in between - but those costs are there and someone’s gonna pay them.

A long-life highly available nuke plant at 3x the cost of nameplate renewable production doesn’t seem like much more than an immaterial cost difference at the end of the day.
Does it?

Harassment is a behaviour.

Offensiveness is a quality. And a subjective one, even.

One thing can be both of course.

But an offensive ad (e.g.) or a forum post with some kind of material of a sexual nature is not ipso facto harassment, unless someone took explicit action to harass you with it, I think.
Few web businesses have a truly huge minimum efficient scale.

For those that do, it's huge. For those that don't, it's quite small.

And for the small ones, Wordpress or similar powers their laundromat. A good small business. As you say, one that takes effort to run. Stripes the banks POS, perhaps someone has some mid scale in Tide sales in the middleware SaaS, there can be a franchise that doesn't fully adapt to how many socks Vs fur local customers have.

But think laundromat. Local restaurant. Which are fine businesses.
You are right. This situation played out (and still kinda is playing out) in Scala.
I didn't mean it was directly implementing the networking call to the dns server -- just that it wasn't directly caching the result.

getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3) (guessing that's what you meant) don't implement caching, at least not explicitly in the spec and not normally in practice. On Windows, DNS results are cached by the OS but on Linux that would be distro-dependent behavior and usually requires setting up a local caching dns server (Ubuntu uses unbound out-of-the-box, iirc. Other choices include ncsd and dnsmasq).

Even if they implemented caching at the syscall level, this still assumes no connection stays open for more than 1s or is reused except per query. It seems like a big assumption (at least I hope it is, because I certainly wouldn't want my app to initialize a new db connection, let alone perform a DNS lookup, for every query).
As somebody who already develops leg cramps when driving more than an hour or so with no cruise this sounds absolutely horrible.
The 'globe icon' feature could be useful for channel names (et al.) in multinational companies where English is not the native language.

Even if most of the communication occurs in English, names and titles are often in the local languages.

Not sure if it was intended for such cases or just for i18n.
No.

The truth is that there is medicine you can take, you just don't want to because it tastes bad.

I am a devops engineer working mostly with platform engineering managing over 80 eks clusters, I am learning more AI an embracing AI, it makes my job much easier and helps me write tooling faster. I notice people at work that resists AI and like to do things the way they have been doing it for years.

My company already is doing a hiring freeze and we have a lot of work so having tools like OpenAI has been invaluable to help me with my daily work.
You can trigger units explicitly on failure with OnFailure=someservice as well (and since you can parameterize service names, you can have e.g. a single failure@.service that'll do whatever you prefer once a service fails.

OnFailure makes it easy to implement more complex restart or notification logic.
> I suffer strongly when I see others suffer (empathy)

It might be worth looking more into this. I’d describe myself similarly and I’ve heard it described similarly:

> Many autistic individuals report feelings of excessive empathy, yet their experience is not reflected by most of the current literature, typically suggesting that autism is characterized by intact emotional and reduced cognitive empathy.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9804307/

The rest is very interesting! It might be a bit “exposing”, if you’ll pardon the pun, but there are many “masking” behaviors an autistic person might learn.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masking_(personality)

It’s also not unheard of for autistic people to live healthy social lives and even engage socially to varying degrees. I wouldn’t discount it even based on the all-night clubbing given what I’ve read but that’s definitely getting way more into my personal opinion and factually exceptional territory for those who’ve been formally diagnosed.

(Not trying to lead you too strongly. Just offering information in case you haven’t encountered it. You know how you think better than anyone else!)

The point about “spectrum” or “regular” is interesting too. I think that’s kinda why I find this monotropism vs. “polytropism?” idea so fascinating. I want to hear about the other thing more, at this point -- assuming it exists. It feels like a good topic to explore more.

Edit: Just caught this too:

> I m very chatty in general and overshare

This can also describe an autistic person’s social behavior. Generally, I’ve read it manifests as talking a bit too much about a topic they’re interested in, possibly even irritating others with their focus on it. (A lot of “me irl” stuff in this personally.) I’ll even go out on a limb and guess you’ve been accused multiple times of “dominating a conversation”. Correct me if I’m wrong! Anyway, it just makes me wonder more about the real differences in how people think. Why does that sort of disagreement even happen?
I know it's just one example, but you'll keep reading about the tech bloat while the companies are bloated. No one is pretending to be a genius, they just worked in it. The upvotes come from people who worked in it. They aren't random outsiders, they actually worked in these places. Big tech has been bloated for a long time.
You may be slightly misreading the write-up. Note the following two bits:

> What we found were user agents purporting to be from a range of devices including mobile devices, all only ever loading a single page without any existing state like cookies.

> The behavior itself is also strange, how did it load these pages which were often behind an authwall without ever logging in or having auth cookies?

I don't think they mean to say that pages behind authentication were successfully loaded without authenticating. If cookies are required to load the page, you aren't loading it without them. So I read this as "The sessions weren't authenticated, so where on earth did they even find these URLs?"

The answer is that there's a real, authenticated user behind a firewall, and every unknown URL this user visits is getting queued up for the crawler to classify later, query string and all. So the crawler's behavior looks like the user's, but offset by a few seconds and without any state. Presumably the auth wall is doing its job and rejecting these requests.
It's not flippant. It's apparently classed as a personal attack to dang though. That's hilarious. Helping others attack themselves? OK. Helping others prevent self harm? BAD BOY.
Privacy-first to me means that by default when I launch the proxied app and my home page is about:blank, I don’t see a single network request firing, and neither before exit.
I've seen bad service design having e.g.

Before=systemd-user-sessions.service

This means that as long as systemd is trying to (re)start the service, nobody can log in. Which is a problem with infinite restarts.

It's still pretty easy to accidentally set up an infinite restart loop with the default settings if your service takes more than 2s to crash.
I don't have a good answer. I don't think AF2 captures protein dynamics in a direct way. And I think docking programs have inadequate loss functions and sampling to really find accurate answers. I suppose AF2 could be modified to produce structures that are well mapped to docking programs.

I think you're right, that running lots of structures through virtual screens will find lots of binders. In the middle days of protein design (well before AF2), people went from not being able to design anything, to being able to easily design "rocks"- proteins that were exceptionally stable, but didn't do anything interesting. Their loss function that they maximized for was stability. But that comes at a cost: high stability seems to prevent lability (which is useful for enzymes). And I think that if you just pass enough stuff through a good-enough program, you'll find lots of binders, but those binders won't actually be useful binders. We already know from decades of work that we can find lots of nanomolar and picomolar binders that don't do anything worthwhile (or have side effects).

My conclusion is: we may very well be on the tip of solving another bottleneck in the drug discovery pipeline, or, we might just be bumbling around in a big space and found a nice local minimum. I don't think AF2 or similar systems on their own are going to completely solve the problem, and until DeepMind or somebody else creates something that can truly address the hard problems in human biology, the most we can hope for is finding more effective new drugs more cheaply and somehow couple that with improvements in genetic personalization.

> to give government agencies control over one more aspect of life to make things better.

Often but not always, it's not a tradeoff between government having control, and nobody having control.

It's a tradeoff between a government that is in many ways democratically accountable having this control, and some rich guy who's not accountable to anyone having this control.

Society abhors a power vacuum.
