As someone in their 40s who only received a diagnosis in their 40s, I found Adderall to be transformative. I only recognized the symptoms when my son was diagnosed ADHD and I started researching. It was through various videos and articles that I saw reflections of my own experiences. So I spoke to a doctor about it.

My experience with Adderall is characterized by its stability. I don’t experience the highs and lows often associated with medication. I'm on a pretty low dose and I do not take the medication every day. Instead of feeling energized or high, Adderall brings me a sense of calm, which was somewhat unexpected, considering its use as a party drug. But for me, it silences the constant noise in my head and allows me to just think and speak. I can actually speak to people without my mind rushing ahead of my voice, tangling up all my words. I'm effective at work and my job performance has improved significantly. My wife noticed a change pretty quick in the day to day life around the home as well.

I’m assuming it’ll go like BYD — make the logistics and manufacturing good for internal market. Then start taking over countries that don’t have established car manufacturers (like Australia, South American countries and etc.) as they won’t be putting tariffs. That’ll start eating into lunches of our car manufacturer’s potential incomes, since they won’t be able to compete in prices. I’m skeptical that we’ll ever get cheap EV alternatives, since auto-manufacturing is a heavily protected industry in all western countries.
I see your downvoted but I agree. Workplace "success" is a metric but not the only metric in life. And if you decrease the focus on that metric I think you would find some darker sides. Downvote away.
The most interesting thing I learned is that it works only if you have ADHD. For normal folks, it gives the illusion of it being useful with lout objectively improving anything.

If you don’t have ADHD and are using Adderall, you are hurting yourself and society.
And eons ago, people made fun of me for using MS-DOS and loadlin as a bootloader for Linux. (This always worked fine for me, and MS-DOS was simple to make boot and install tools on with hardware of the time. A functional-enough MS-DOS installation took up a trivial amount of space on a garden-variety PC of the day, and it was easy to pare down.)

Fast forward 20 or 30 years: We're back to using a FAT[32] partition for booting, just with a very different mini-OS to do the job.

le sigh.
Contract? We are at will.
Private prisons should be illegal.
Given the prices on prison phone calls in many state, I have no problem believing this.

The terrible thing is that not only are the prices predatory, but they arguably harm rehabilitation, since family contact is associated with better (i.e. lower) recidivism rates.
There are two general attack targets I'd use if I had access to a library/binary like xz:

(1) A backdoor like this one, which isn't really about its core functions, but about the fact that it's a library linked into critical code, so that you can use it to backdoor _other things_. Those are complex and tricky because you have to manipulate the linking/GOT specifically for a target.

(2) Insert an exploitable flaw such as a buffer overflow so that you can craft malicious .xz files that result in a target executing code if they process your file. This is a slightly more generic attack vector but that requires a click/download/action.

Not every machine or person you want to compromise has an exposed service like ssh, and not every target will download/decompress a file you send to them. These are decently orthogonal attack vectors even though they both involve a library.

(Note that there's as yet no evidence for #2 - I'm just noting how I'd try to leverage this to maximum effect if I wanted to.)
> That's quite backwards. Governments are far more likely to deploy a complex attack against a single target (see also: Stuxnet); other attackers (motivated primarily by money) are far more likely to cast a wide net.

Governments are well known to keep vulnerabilities hidden (see EternalBlue). Intentionally introducing a vulnerability doesn’t seem that backwards tbh

> Why opposed to MFA? Source code is one of the most important assets in our realm.

Because if you don't use weak passwords MFA doesn't add value. I do recommend MFA for most people because for most people their password is the name of their dog (which I can look up on social media) followed by "1!" to satisfy the silly number and special character rules. So yes please use MFA.

But if your (like my) passwords are 128+bits out of /dev/random, MFA isn't adding value.

Germany installed "eHighways" in 2019 which can let heavy trucks charge from overhead lines. Heavy trucks can't really afford much of a weight penalty for batteries (look up "tesla semi load factor" for a bunch of debunks), but cars for general transport have tons of weight to spare. Skip the cars, just go for the heavy trucks.

Moscow was a trolleybus capital of the world just recently. I'm still salty that they destroyed it in just a couple of years, replacing with regular buses and a handful of electric ones (which still require a small ICE engine in winter to stay warm, ridiculously enough)

Just for posterity since I can no longer edit: Libera staff has been firm and unrelenting in their position not to disclose anything whatsoever about the account. I obtained the last point on my own. Libera has made it clear they will not budge on this topic, which I applaud and respect. They were not involved whatsoever in ascertaining a VPN was used, and since that fact makes anything else about the connection information moot, there's nothing else to say about it.
You can do offline signaling. Quoting MDN:

> It's any sort of channel of communication to exchange information before setting up a connection, whether by email, postcard, or a carrier pigeon. It's up to you.

All you need are SDPs and ICE Candidates. People choose a centralized signaling server because it's the easiest but WebRTC does not dictate it be that way.

Echoing the other commenter, there really is no other way to establish a connection without some knowledge of the other peer, be it gained online or offline.

I've spent a decent amount of time learning about this stuff. Here's the lens I use to understand advancements in CO2 reduction:

Carbon monoxide is, indeed, an incredibly useful and versatile precursor in many industrial processes. Sourcing it from CO2 in the air unlocks all sorts of carbon-negative technologies, including sustainable fuels and plastics. As we begin to wind down fossil fuel extraction, this becomes increasingly important.

However, the only driver of adoption at scale is cost. Any new method to reduce CO2 must compete not only with established fossil sources, but also more established reduction techniques like RWGS. Even if there's a breakthrough in energy efficiency, as we seem to have here, one must consider the entire system cost as compared to the alternatives.

This is why a lot of research isn't aiming for straight CO2 reduction, but conversion to C2+ molecules. This might allow a more efficient pathway from CO2 to more valuable chemicals. This article linked here suggests that the researchers also have this in mind:

> By swapping in different catalysts, the researchers plan to try making other products such as methanol and ethanol using this approach.

In my opinion, this is where the rubber meets the road. It's not just about making carbon monoxide: It's about turning CO2 into value-added molecules.

xz is a data compression tool, so it's natural to have compressed files for (de)compression tests.

these files are also useful to check that the library we just built works correctly. but they aren't necessary for installation.

we may have more sophisticated procedures that will allow us to use some parts of distribution only for tests. This may significantly reduce an attack vector - many projects have huge, sophisticated testing infrastructure where you can hide the entire Wikipedia.

And you still didn’t answer the question. Do you think that government regulators should block foreign content on the internet if they find that content producers are also distributors?

Where do yoh draw the line about what type of media should be able to be distributed on the internet?

Are you going to fine companies for putting their own content on thier own website without going through an intermediary and how does that help consumers when every part of the delivery chain is also going to want to make a profit and thus increasing prices?
It's normal and sensible to invest money you are okay with potentially never seeing again, yes. I don't think we are even disagreeing, just probably not on the same page what "savings" exactly is.

I consider savings as monies that shouldn't "just" go away (like investments failing), monies that are expected to always be there for when their time comes. That sort of money should be handled with the worst case scenarios accounted for, you presumably depend on that money (either now or in the future) for your life.

I believe the overlayfs configured using raspi-config is a little different in that it presents the appearance of a normal filesystem but all changes are gone following reboot. Before reboot the changes are cached in RAM which can have consequences for low RAM systems.

I use the overlayfs provided by raspi-config.
Password managers are adding support (as in they control the keys) and I've used my yubikeys as "passkeys" (with the difference that I can't autofill the username).

What I find really surprising is that Amazon has not sought criminal prosecution of Meta.

Even if in all cases a user selected to allow Facebook/Meta to see what they were communicating, which from reading all of the attached documents I don't believe was the case, I don't see how Amazon gave consent.

If some individual had done what Facebook/Meta did, I can't see a situation where Amazon wouldn't have asked for criminal prosecution.

Mastercard and Visa? It would be surprising to see how they would just shrug this off; maybe this hasn't hit their radar yet.

Trucks lose an extreme amount of energy hauling heavy trailers up steep inclines.
> Are we really supposed to expend as much energy as we expended in the entire industrial age just to remove the excess CO2 in the atmosphere?

Basically, yeah!

The last IPCC described the need for carbon removal in their last report[1]. The gist of it is that we'll need to decarbonize virtually everything, and use removal for the last 5-10% of residual emissions. That ends up being like six billion tons per year by 2025.

It can be hit or miss. It's going to be a real downer for these people if the clouds are really thick.
I was diagnosed in my 30s. In retrospect, it explains a lot of difficulties I have had for my entire life. I wasn't hyperactive, so they mostly went unnoticed by other people -- it's really hard to know whether your struggles are unusual or not from the vantage point of your own head.

I would say that if you feel good and life is working for you, then you don't need to do anything. If your life circumstances change (e.g., for me, our having a child definitely exhausted my ability to grit my teeth and push through my focus issues with all nighters, followed by sleeping all day to recover) then help is generally not far away!
Where I grew up the outside is either a a park or a vast desert with pavement everywhere and heat that literally kills several people a year. Kids had the park or nothing, but now it’s literally nothing in that area. It’s sad that people like you can’t believe the actual lived experience of someone else, as if your life is how everyone experiences the world and growing up. Not every urban area is the same. Not every rural area is the same.
My favorite way to make CO out of CO2 is thermal cracking, which is quite straightforward:

Looks like Jonathan Blow was right about open source.
The slogan is "something you know and something you have", right?

I don't have strong opinions about making it mandatory, but I turned on 2FA for all accounts of importance years ago. I use a password manager, which means everything I "know" could conceivably get popped with one exploit.

It's not that much friction to pull out (or find) my phone and authenticate. It only gets annoying when I switch phones, but I have a habit of only doing that every four years or so.

You sound like you know what you're doing, that's fine, but I don't think it's true that MFA doesn't add security on average.
Yes, a small keyboard for the purposes of typing as an alternative to speaking would work well here. No need for a mouse though.
If the next gen of the top models improves as much as I hope they will - we will not need any integration. It will be similar to hiring a human personal assistant. But much cheaper, even at $2k/mo. Even if this doesn’t happen with GPT5, it can very well happen with GPT6 a year later.

> I never count but seems like a handful of songs would be in every play list 8/10 times.

I've joked with my wife that the AI is really just whatever songs are going to generate the most revenue for Spotify.

For me, it alternates between:

* Cutting off a series of good songs too quickly

* Playing the exact same 4 songs in a cluster

* The DJ telling me "I love these songs", then proceeding to play songs I have literally (1) never listened to (2) have skipped repeatedly in the past few weeks.

It's also fun that it can't figure out me playing sleepy time music for hours and hours on occasion is not indicative of me actually enjoying that music.

I think this is a literal example of a solution searching for a problem. I charge my car at home. Not everyone gets to do that, but solving that issue is a better use of resources. On a road trip the 20 minutes of fast charging is welcomed. I would stop even if I was charging while driving.

Having 16A of charging hanging off light poles and meters on a street in front of an apartment is a better use of resources than wiring the road. Having adequate DC charging is a better use of resources than moving the goal post to “which length of road can I charge on?”

1.5 million people die a year from car accidents. 10s of millions are permanently injured.
