Thank you for sharing that. I’m not going to address every example in your comment, and I agree that there are many ways society could be more accommodating. But I also think that not every difference can be accommodated in every situation, even if disability advocates don’t always want to admit it. Some jobs require you to talk on the phone, just like some jobs require you to lift heavy boxes. Not everyone can do that, and that’s ok. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I could not do my job as an engineering executive if I could not talk on the phone or video calls, since so much of my job is about making emotional connections with other people, understanding subtle cues and subtext, and influencing people. I have colleagues who I know are on the spectrum, and I greatly respect them and do try to accommodate them where possible. But some things require a level of social skills they simply don’t have.

Beyond that, I have to be honest: reading about your struggles with communication, lights, noise, etc. it’s frankly hard me to fathom why anyone would not want medication that can alleviate those symptoms. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s, and my whole life suddenly made more sense. Stimulant medication dramatically improved my executive function, attention, concentration, impulsivity, etc. but I am still in every way myself while medicated. I am just more in control of myself. I realize there is no medication like that for autism yet, but if there was, I simply can’t imagine someone not wanting it when my life was improved so dramatically by treating my much-less-severe condition.

Interesting question. If you Mean it like intending to provoke more thinking, I answer: I don’t know. Would be interesting!

But if you mean it like you’re asking me then: discrete/or-not convolution of “sine waves” with wavelength p for each prime (and optionally prime powers), to give … well… I don’t know! Haha :) it would be interesting to try to create something.

Presumably, it leads to some function that can give information as to the next prime. I mean, you don’t need the FFT analogy or processing for that, but the hope is that somehow, through that process in the natural analog with convolving sine waves, you get, a sort of advantage that let you predict the next prime with less information, somehow or somehow advantageous. Haha! :)

The nodes are multiples, the and the spots where none of waves go to zero are primes (because they haven’t been landed on by any of the previous waves), and at any spot the prime-power waves that land at zero are the factors. You can only get unique factors not the factorization with powers if you don’t make waves/multiples of the prime powers.

But I don’t think I know what you mean by negative space - it sounds interesting. What do you mean by that?
None of these points address the realities in the parent or in the article.
Wow great article, I like the recaps
> the other team members are the complete opposite and terrific to work alongside.

good!

> the defacto leader of our group/team (he has no actual managerial title or responsibilities) belittles or speaks over people all the time

> any ideas i have are either dismissed outright or pawned off later as someone else's.

not good.

as sibling comments have alluded to, you need to fix this issue in place. unless it's the real manager you have a hopeless beef with, it's not time to quit. oh, and i'd expect apathy or a weak response at first. that's pretty normal. welcome to life. /s
the best strategy is to be right. is this guy your actual manager or not? (not) who was the decision responsibility/authority? (not technically him, right?) and so on. you tell the real manager all of this and that you would like to not have technical decisions dictated always from a peer. you would like an area to work that you have some modest authority over.

so you need to be assertive. if you don't, you'll just make 15% less and still have the same team member issue somewhere else with a different name.
I hope this works and gets cheap as the only way the world gets off plastic is we replace it with something else. Most humans are selfish and are not willing to make sacrifices for the greater good so the only way we move of plastic is we replace it.

Your accusation, which is straight up ad hominem, reveals more about you than Applebaum. Applebaum is not only respected in her fields, but her logic tracks and her positions well reasoned and defensible. You may not agree with her, but that doesn't make her a propagandist.

> before urban neighbourhoods were demolished for freeways

I do not doubt that there were places where this happened, but speaking about it as some absolute is simply disingenuous and untrue. For example, San Francisco is the birthplace of our cultural concept of freeway revolts, but San Francisco's 1950s freeway plan was intentionally routed to avoid bisecting any of the City-and-County's residential districts.

Check out this composite map I just whipped up and you should be able to see how the planned freeways were routed along district boundaries, not through them: https://i.imgur.com/MSbpF5e.jpeg

I specify “residential” districts because SOMA is bisected but SOMA was all warehouses and freight railroad yards at the time so there was no reason to care. Even the famously-hated Embarcadero Freeway was on formerly-CA-state-owned land where the “State Belt” waterfront industrial railroad ran: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Belt_Railroad https://i.imgur.com/Mq3mWQr.jpeg

Hey matey, do you folks need any more devs to bring ideas or code?

I’m heavily into browser extension development! I’ve done some insane things with them.

I’ve built about 8 browser extensions in the last 6 months, most of them have thousands of users and one of them had half a million users

Currently building an LLM powered design assistant extension.

What you usually do with YubiKeys is have multiple of them so that if the key stops working or you lose it you can use the spare.

This is more secure than using a simple password or (gasp) an unencrypted copy somewhere.

It's asking for an LLM, which we have. I really don't think you understand how LLMs work or something, I'm not really sure.

I also think that you're intentionally missing the point so that you can be insulting.

May you find games to play you enjoy.
This is a common misconception, but is not the case. For example, look at the Voodoo 1, 2, and 3, which also used fixed point numbers internally but did not suffer from this problem.

The real issue is that the PS1 has no subpixel precision. In other words, it will round a triangle coordinates to the nearest integers.

Likely the reason why they did this is because then you can completely avoid any division and multiplication hardware, with integer start and end coordinates line rasterization can be done completely with addition and comparisons.
The Long and Winding Journey to NTSB Appointments
Counter-point:

The countries that adopted postmodernist beliefs collapsed within a few generations because postmodernist ideas are incoherent mindrot incapable of leading to human flourishing — and will be gone in under 150 years from their conception, due to their own defective nature.

In the US, for instance, we’re seeing a rejection of precisely that — and the accompanying collapse of media companies steeped in a postmodern ethos.
I suppose you're going to tell me that the documented cases of people being refused employment or basic services because they've behaved in a way that authorities deem morally "wrong" is also a myth? Western propaganda, surely.

But please link me to any proof. I want to be educated.

Also, way to ignore the part where people are arrested or disappeared for the same behavior. At least we can agree that much is true.

Not the GP, but since they mentioned high-functioning autism I’d guess they meant people with autism able to (very) successfully adapt to social expectations will likely forgo self-fulfilment in order to conform, without even necessarily being fully aware of it.
> data-to-paper is a framework for systematically navigating the power of AI to perform complete end-to-end scientific research, starting from raw data and concluding with comprehensive, transparent, and human-verifiable scientific papers (example).

Even if this thing works I wouldn’t call it “end-to-end scientific research”. IMHO the most challenging and interesting part of scientific research is coming up with a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test it. Data analysis and paper writing is just a small part of the end-to-end process.
This sounds like the inevitable endgame of capital's drive to replace labor inputs.

So where "Main Street" (or the coupla nearest strip malls) used to have a post office and a dozen or more retail shops, now there will be two or three parcel points. Unskilled retail jobs evaporate. There's no shop personnel to ask questions of - you get AI chatbots trained on marketing dreck.

A bright future beckons !

No, it’s a rhetorical dead end because it says that everything has equal value and therefore nothing has value. Developing the idea is impossible because it has done away with the elements of reason.
> Specifically the gaps in meta-narratives and institutions in terms of what and who they don't apply to are self-evident and their mere existence is a powerful critique of [post]modernism.

Postmodernism is precisely as guilty of this — so framing it as a rejection of that concept from modernism seems wrong.

Rather, they just shallowly applied the same failings to different groups and patted themselves on the back for vapid virtue. Which suggests that postmodernism is instead the abandonment of principle for self indulgence — echoed from the artistic (collapse of skill into banal “self expression”) to the political (calling institutional racism by euphemisms such as “anti-racism”).

Postmodernism was nothing but phonies.
I'm super confused: doesn't Debian also have a 5 year support cycle? How is Debian better than Ubuntu on this particular issue?

I've been upgrading the same Ubuntu server across LTS releases since 14.04 - now on 22.04 - without any major issues. Spending 30 minutes every two years to upgrade major versions isn't that big of a lift.
I feel like the sole reason jellyfin exists is because some people don't want to fork over the cash for lifetime plex. Plex just works. Jellyfin is constantly in a state of failure or bad state.
If, having it in your head, you could use it to calculate trig functions in your head, that would be a way of it paying rent.

So, yeah.
Okay that’s a good question but I’d like you to try to answer it. What do you think is a misconception in your original based on what I said?

It’s not just about cosmic rays. I wasn’t attacking you, and not saying you don’t understand it, just the comment seemed like a misconception about a few things. Haha! :)
they always say to "dress for the job you want." And I'd love to be an NTSB member.

Any tips?
Well, we built a compiler in bliss 36 so I can address that a bit.

Bliss isn’t like Fortran and is quite a different beast from C. It had a practical way to define structures. It defined code structures as expressions rather than statements. I feel it was a a little higher level than C. But not higher level like PL/I. There were different languages for 36 bit machines (PDP-10) 32 bit machines and I think even 16 bit machines.
Nonsense. Developmental disorders can be caused by any number of factors in early childhood, like stress, neglect, infection, injury, and exposure to substances in the environment like lead. A multifactorial disorder like autism may have many different causes, and we don’t know enough to say for certain that they all originate before birth. I’d wager they do not.
LTS releases will only upgrade to other LTS releases unless you configure it differently. Just avoid non-LTS releases.
The Debian upgrade process actually works.
Scoring for League presents several challenges as you mentioned, and I’m not particularly happy with the state of our League rating. In theory top should still be picking up standing objectives, which are accounted for, but yes KP will be lower for top. The goal is to use stats which can work for all roles but of course that is particularly challenging for support and top.
This is not in any way related to the asymptotic time bounds discussed in the article.

Dark Matter is not the same as antimatter, which CERN did produce.
There are speculations if there are antimatter galaxies out there and that they are in fact the dark Matter that we search for.
But dark matter is in essence matter that should be there, e.g. because a solar system behaves like it is in its gravitational field, but cannot be detected by our instruments.
Maybe it is a flaw in our theory, like the time we found out that newtons physic has some flaws, or we can't detect it because it is made of stuff that we can't measure yet.
I don’t think REXX is like PL/I. And it does run on pretty much any IBM hardware and os
Essentially yes, it should behave like a derivative of rank if it is calibrated correctly.

The normalized value is designed to make the ratings comparable across games, yes.
No, it still applies. You have to think on a higher abstraction level, like components with interfaces between them of sorts. If one of them creates a resource (because this goes far beyond memory allocations which are also only resources), it MUST take care to delete that resource again. Whether that happens in a different thread or whatever: Who cares. (And yes, more care needs to be taken around creation/deletion/use of resources then.) The Linux kernel is loaded with examples of it.

Any deviation from that MUST be documented which includes seeing that as comments in code so people who read/maintain that code know what this is all about.

Thing is, many memory leaks are actually logic bugs and no (resource-)GC will save your bacon against these, in fact, you made your life more complicated through it because now you have to debug through another (abstraction) layer before getting to the true problem.

This is what this ownership in Rust is all about: It makes ownership visible to the programmer so they have to take care about it in a very explicit manner.
No, but neither can it compose a symphany.
I ran plex for a long time and had a lifetime plex membership. They pushed their services so hard, but I let it pass until they stated emailing out to all my friends what I've been watching.

They violated their promises. They stated that they didn't track or know what people watched. This is absolutely a lie. They have to track it to email it out to friends.

I deleted my account, destroying my lifetime plex pass and moved to Jellyfin. Yes, it's not as polished, but it preserves my privacy and I don't get ads filled free crap tv shoved in my face all the time. Plus Jellyfin generally does just work. I don't miss Plex at all.

That’s funny - I created one as well, but it took me a bit longer. It’s not as full featured as yours in the non linear editing sense, but it’s for a different use case

I’m trying to launch it on Show HN right now but not having your success :-(

It was hard as shit to build. mine is commercial

You can see my editor in action here:

https://www.demo.fun/d/lSVixyJOZeZ1ugT

It’s specialized for its use case—editing product demos, but, I had to virtualize the timeline events to support cutting and nested cuts. In other words, when a cut in placed in the video, I jump to the point in time at the end of the cut and adjust all surrounding events.

It doesn’t do join and split, but I would know how to do that.

Debian is the only distro with this weird attitude of disregard towards upstream.

I maintain two upstream projects where Debian unilaterally decided to rename the package. In one case I found out much later, in the other case it was against my express objection and was completely nonsensical.

Of course I’m the one who has to explain it to users.

Edit: see the arrogance of the Debian guy (Julian) here: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10725#iss... - that’s what I’m talking about.
Both of your complaints come down to two settings options you failed to click. Settings that set your privacy are created when you set up the machine. If you don't set them at that point, they are in the settings any time... As for their content, again, just turn them off. I never added their content to my side bar, and they never showed up on their own?
Same here. After a diagnosis, one is able to give in and learn how to cope with it instead of fighting it, struggling and letting it lead to self deprecation.

Strategies and research about it aside, the fact that one can come to "accept" oneself despite that condition is very important for general mental health.

I still wouldn't wish it on anyone but personally I'd always accept my self as a valid human with a valid life despite that.

This is incorrect. Any matter within about three Schwarzschild radii will never escape the black hole - i.e. will be carried along with it - even if the black hole passes you at the speed of light.

And if the black hole passes you at a velocity lower than the speed of light, then the radius grows. That matter will begin orbiting the black hole and will leave your body just as fast as the black hole left.
This post has been hanging out with no comments for ages. I was like, I'll skim it later.

> It's almost burying the lede to announce that, though, because the real meat in this entry is how the Commodore 64 manages to emulate a very different 6502-based system. That piece is "6o6," for "6502-on-6502," and is a full virtualized software NMOS 6502 CPU that runs on a 6502 CPU — which I've open-sourced too. It has full control of guest code execution, including trapping undocumented and jam opcodes, and completely abstracts all memory access, making it possible to remap addresses, intercept illegal reads or writes, or even run entirely from virtual memory. On top of that, it's complete enough to not only pass a full functional test but also virtualize itself virtualizing itself:

This is incredible! Not just from a 6502 perspective, but from an everything perspective! Amazing work.
