>All of the symptoms of ADHD are different areas of executive control.

I am not sure what you mean. Isn't "executive control" involved in almost every behavior? Why are the criteria used in ADHD diagnosis any more indicative of executive control than some other set of criteria I can come up with?

Is being bored of people talking a sign of lack of control or a lack of interest?

>I would argue that all people with ADHD generally also show all of the symptoms,

All people show all the symptoms. Who has never lost their keys, day dreamed during a conversation, loses focuses in an activity, forget small details, etc.

>yet I can’t stand up and walk without checking everything in my pockets like most people can.

How do you know what most people do? I think checking your pockets is a fairly common normal behavior. Different people have different adaptations to solving this problem of making sure they have what they need when they go out. Some people may have developed the discipline from a young age for example of placing things at the same place everytime. Some people may be more risk tolerant or care free, so they may not devote so much attention to the consequences of losing things. Some people may be clean freaks, so they encounter where their things are more often as they clean, and having a clean space, are also able to find things more easily.
Some people, in some circumstances may become anxious, overly excited, etc before going out, and lose track of these things.
There's a million reasons for why someone does these things.

These are all things that may even change by environment! I think the ADHD diagnosis can be harmful in that it makes people attribute all their behaviors to "Adhd" and makes them believe they are incapable of being changed.

And this is all contingent on even trusting that you actually do forget things more often than most, which again I don't know why people are so sure about, and Im even more confused as to how a physician assesses this to be true.
What would that even look like? Gift taxes are paid by the giver not the recipient. Currently you don't even have to report it if it's less than $18,000 per year per recipient. If you give less than $13 million in your lifetime you don't have to pay any gift taxes anyway.

I have a feeling that most people probably don't give $18,000 to their churches annually. At a 10% tithe rate, that's $180,000. Wel above the median household income.
I have to wonder if one of the reasons Google is keeping Dart alive is as a possible last resort if they have to abandon Java completely at some point due to Oracle's aggressive license enforcement.
I guess it depends if you're the one doing the paying or the one receiving the pay .
It’s hard to take the Tax Foundation seriously when they say we need to aggressively go after non-profits when one of their current top articles is handwringing about the Trump tax cuts expiring.

The tax code absolutely needs to be simplified. Corporate taxes are not as efficient as Land Value taxes but if lowered or eliminated it and replaced it with the LVT, what would that even mean for “non-profits” at that point?
How so? 15.6 was just released
From the Anthropic model guide:

Agentic Coding
Claude 3.5 Sonnet solves 64% of problems on an internal agentic coding evaluation, compared to 38% for
Claude 3 Opus. Our evaluation tests a model’s ability to understand an open source codebase and implement a
pull request, such as a bug fix or new feature, given a natural language description of the desired improvement.
For each problem, the model is evaluated based on whether all the tests of the codebase pass for the completed
code submission. The tests are not visible to the model, and include tests of the bug fix or new feature. To
ensure the evaluation mimics real world software engineering, we based the problems on real pull requests
submitted to open source codebases. The changes involve searching, viewing, and editing multiple files
(typically three or four, as many as twenty). The model is allowed to write and run code in an agentic loop
and iteratively self-correct during evaluation. We run these tests in a secure sandboxed environment without
access to the internet.

% of problems which pass all tests
Claude 3.5 Sonnet 64%
Claude 3 Opus 38%
Claude 3 Sonnet 21%
Claude 3 Haiku 17%

We've also switched back to only ordering takeout from places that use more sustainable takeout containers. Those plastic dishes are reusable, but our need for them is not great enough to justify accumulating more than a few. And as soon as you surpass your need, they instantly flip from being reusable containers to being just about the most wasteful form of disposable food packaging imaginable.

Compare with what takeout was like in the 1990s and early 2000s, when it was accepted that only some restaurants and cuisines were appropriate for delivery and takeout. Pizza boxes, deli paper and cardboard clamshell boxes are biodegradeable and industrially compostable. Foiled paper like McDonald's would use has to go to the landfill, but at least there's arguably nothing horrible in it. Oyster pails like Chinese takeout restaurants used to use is probably plastic lined, but plastic lined paper is at least a lot less plastic than the plastic dishes.
Very enlightening.

Absorbed it at the time and followed up with experimentation ever since.

Edit: experimentation was underway long before this was published.

there's also a Part 2:

>I have whittled away at the use-cases in favour of using the iso file,

Very well done, and I would rather not have to use ISO's myself since the only remaining thing they are perfect for is distribution, where it doesn't look like they will be beat for a very long time.

I would rather not touch ISOs any other time, but I'm going to have to maintain the skill anyway.

There's definitely nothing better for Windows than ISOs and Windows is huge with very sophisticated imaging built-in.

Kauler just happens to make an even more sophisticated IMG than most would do, for this distribution I can handle it with no drawbacks compared to a standard ISO file, and way better than a funky "hybrid" ISO.

Having assessed 600+ software companies (many of which are 5-50 employees), I'd say about half of them use MFA consistently across their business. And it's not a budgetary issue, but more of a logistic/IT/prioritization one.
I didn't know about the Cromenco camera but I remember seeing the trick in electronics/robotics books from the seventies. Micron sold a windowed DRAM for that purpose back in the early eighties, and I think a camera too. There was a construction article in BYTE.
I've been advocating this for years, but I think a lot of problems on the internet could be solved with a universal, decentralized, anonymous reputation system. A user or entity maintain a private cryptographic key. Each service is given a different sub-key which anonymizes the entity for each service, if they choose. A myriad of voting systems could be employed depending on the needs of each service, via other site users, site admins or both.

These differing voting systems (stars, points, etc) could be normalized through some standardized process into a final reputation score. Other services could then either consider the aggregate score, or only focus on ratings from particular other services, which could be grouped into service types for convenience. Ratings are cryptographically backed and could be fuzzed to increase anonymity. Scores would also be weighted by the relative reputation of other entities. Participating services would also themselves need to maintain a high reputation for their scoring to have much weight in the aggregate.

Services could use these scores to wall of certain site features to entities without sufficient reputation, or even wholesale deny read/write access. Obviously there are particulars to work out to prevent brigading, etc. but there is a balance to strike such that farmed accounts could still quickly be punished the moment they begin spamming/astroturfing. Perhaps a flag/vouch system similar to HN could be employed. Voting rings could also be detected, though with limits given that each vote comes from an anonymized sub-key.

This system would even protect against a future where the majority of content on the web will likely be aided or entirely produced by LLMs or AI. I welcome such synthetic content, but only if it matches or surpasses the general quality of human posts on the internet (which is much worse than one might think). On top of this, users could themselves use these scores as a way to filter out content which is signed with a reputation score below some threshold.

I imagine some kind of hierarchical web, where some services are harder to gain write access to than others, allowing users to gain reputation in low-stakes environments with some level of decentralized moderation, but without compromising the integrity of higher-stakes information.

Each piece of information on the internet should be signed with some sort of introspectable reputation score, and this kind of system would make it possible without compromising privacy and security of users in any political environment.
MOND doesn't explain all of the missing mass, it just reduces it to a fifth of what it was. So you need MOND and something else, which is two things, which Occam's Razor disfavors anyway.

Agreed with pretty much everything.

I couldn't agree with the article on almost any point.

One additional point: You can get "mildly dynamic" websites by using services. I have a completely static web site that's 100% on a CDN and that I've written zero lines of code for...but it has a full dynamic comment section due to Disqus integration. My "how many people have visited my page" is handled by Google Analytics. Other similar embedded services can provide many of the most common "mildly dynamic features".

I'm using Astro on a newer project, which allows you to static-generate pages however you like, but also allow you to run just one component as JavaScript, you can, without the inherent danger of running code on a server every time someone hits your web site. For full heavy-dynamic pages, you can render on the server as well. It's a nice compromise IMO.

That and I never want to use PHP again. Especially Drupal. I liked Drupal at first, but I never want to see it again.
Their core goal is, paraphrasing, helping design a sustainable society[1]. Reducing the whole world's energy use is aligned with that - more than reducing load on a single server.

That being said, I doubt the post processing adds much in this case.

It's also safe. There is no reputational risk because "everyone" (who matters to you professionally) already agrees with you. There isn't much immediate upside to sticking your neck out. Especially in the era of social media.

Yep, we're worried about similar things. I'm seeing formerly stable companies de-stabilize themselves and re-invent product features to put AI ahead of end user needs. I'm not worried in the long run, but I do see some short-term company failures and shuffling of talent in our future as this discrepancy between what is needed vs. what is getting built gets sorted out.

Great "old-school" article! Intrigued to try Odin sometime.

> One interesting thing: in Odin, similarly to Zig, allocators are passed to functions wishing to allocate memory. Contrary to Zig though, Odin has a mechanism to make that less tedious (and more implicit as a result) by essentially passing the allocator as the last function argument which is optional.
I actually don’t think so. When you eat fat AND carbs, you tend to eat more of each than if you would have eaten them separately. Source: I’m Swiss and we have dishes like Fondue or Raclette, where each serving is often more than 200g or more cheese. Which would be a lot on its own, i.e. without bread or potatoes. Might also be because it is melted cheese though.
That is very reductive and extremely incorrect.

While factions of the VCP have very close relations with the CCP, the VPA is de facto independent of the VCP and it's leadership is extremely anti-China due to the wars and conflicts from 1979-1996.

Most of the VPA's and VPN's leadership and mid-levels fought Chinese and China aligned forces on the border, in Cambodia, and Laos during that time period, and Vietnamese and Chinese naval patrols have had multiple standoffs since 2011, and allies like India and the US have shored up Vietnam's naval defenses (eg. The 2011 standoff between Vietnam and China started when an Indian destroyer faced off with a Chinese destroyer over Vietnamese oil blocks sold to India [0], India has given warships and training to VN [1], Lien Chieu Port which is barely 100 miles from Hainan and the Parcel Islands will now be built and operated by BJP-aligned Adani Group [2], the Indian Navy has exclusive use of neighboring Nha Trang Port [3], Indian SoEs are actively drilling in Vietnam's claim in the SCS/EVS/WPS [4], and the US and India both have right to port in Vietnam).

Also, a war with China would be extremely destructive to VN because much of China's naval and ballistics forces are located on Hainan - which is barely 150 miles off the coast of much of Vietnam.

A major difference is Vietnam's armed forces worked on building readiness unlike Phillipines, which was largely aimed at the internal security situation (Mindanao, the communist insurgency, etc), and the Phillipines Navy has been steadily decommissioning much of their ancient fleet recently and lack very basic capabilities such as submarines.

I mostly agree, but even this leaves you exposed to new bugs found in SSH in the future etc if on an unpatched/forgotten server. I still think its best (and really, really easy now with tools like tailscale) to simply never expose the software to the wide world in the first place and only access over Wireguard.

Fundamentally, it makes no sense to expose low level server access mechanisms to anyone other than yourself/team - there is no need for this to sit listening on a public port, almost ever.
I've been loving Aerospace. Is as close as i3wm you can get, on Mac OS.
There's something weird about the article, as if "1 billion" has been used as a placeholder for a real figure that was never filled in. For example in at least two places it says that the gross and net tax gaps are $1 billion, but the IRS estimates are close to $500 billion.

A lot of complaining about the tax exempt economy, but almost nothing about large corps that get away with deferring taxable income; and would lead to much fewer grants and dues from these companies that pay the Tax Foundation's bills.

The Tax Foundation glosses over, and sounds defensive, over the swiss cheese rules for corporations right now. A lot of us have been discussing a tax credit that Congress recently changed that only large tech companies would see a tax benefit to take over the paperwork.

https://taxfoundation.org/blog/corporations-zero-corporate-t...

Then there are flat out tax breaks such as oil revenue being exempted from AMT with generous deductions that normally take other firms years to get.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/oil-tax-break.asp

A few of the organizations they complain about are either owned by the US government, works very, very closely with US govt, or are state institutions. Why should the US tax itself? It just adds more paper work because it would need subsidies. A US Government institution has so many more responsibilities than a private corporation. The real reason is that many large corps want to get rid of the spoiler in their market and already collect even more revenue (make credit unions and the deals they offer go by-by).

Congress enacted these institutions decades ago to stabilize the market and provide access to people the corps did not want to serve. Banks are still retreating from rural areas-think of how much worse it will be if credit unions have to more profit focused.

Taxing state institutions such as universities; this US Supreme Court will not be receptive to that even if Congress does pass a bill; and politically, it is not going to happen.
A lot of the original evangelical megachurches were directly influenced and guided by Peter Drucker who was a big "scientific management" figure, if that tells you anything. He was a direct mentor to Rick Warren who started the Saddleback Church, which is like the modern megachurch template. Pretty interesting rabbit hole to go down.
Nah. I can imagine the country without the first amendment and it wouldn't be pretty.

The big one they missed were think tanks. That's where the real corruption is. Oh and will you look at that... the Tax Foundation is a 501(c)(3) think tank based in D.C. Things that make you go hmmm.
It depends if it's a real 'request quote' option and not just something that gate-keeps the actual content on the site.

The US Navy operates under the assumption that the position of their ships, excluding submarines, is known at all times by adversaries. This has been the case for decades.
Ideas that Created the Future by Harry Lewis has been a great read, I highly recommend it. It is a book full of the most influential papers for the field of computer science, according to the author. The author is a professor of computer science. He does a great job placing each paper in context and history, as well as explaining any dated concepts that modern developers aren't necessarily familiar with.
I don't necessarily believe canonical MOND is the answer, just that it seems more reasonable to me to assume we don't have the Universe completely figured out and accurately modeled just yet vs. being emphatically sure most matter never interacts with light but only with gravity despite continued failure in finding direct evidence of it because it would satisfy our current model without the need to adjust it.

On the plus side, at least ChatBoost supports both openai and claude API. But for this specific model it seems to be broken... I hope that gets noticed and fixed soon.
>and are just holding until the free money starts pouring in again.

What guarantee is there that "free money" will come back again?

Wasn't the last free money printer run something like a first time in history, and supposed to be only a temporary measure that went on for far too long leading to inflation and assets spiraling out of control creating various speculative bubbles like crypto, Gamestop fiasco, housing, and dozens to hundreds of crappy overhyped "start-ups" adn food delivery apps, that were never able to be very profitable on their own but still grew like crazy thanks to that free money and gullible investors to stay afloat, leading to an artificial over demand of SW devs which also crashed with them.

Seeing all it lead to, do we even want/need it to come back again? And "But this time will be different" doesn't scan for me as a believable answer since we all know it'll definitely be the same.
> Taxing churches would then be a way for government to suppress and eliminate religion/religious organizations they do not like.

I don't know what the IRS standards are for recognizing religions, but taxing unrecognized religions and not taxing recognized religions seems like a bigger potential for suppression of undesired religions than taxing all of them. That said, I don't think I've heard of a case where IRS/government refused to acknowledge a claimed religious organization?

Of course, you can't have free exercise of religion if it's taxed. I do think it'd be nice to have public tax returns or similar, but I guess that's really for the membership to demand more than the government.
