> Autism can be reliably diagnosed at 2.5 years of age, so we probably aren't looking at a strong cultural bias in in how kids are presenting with autism. These models using data from countries where the healthcare systems provides support for appropriate screening and testing further minimizing bias due to culture.

I'm not talking about bias due to culture but culture having a real physical effect on development. It wouldn't be noticeable in toddlers but would in older children, if present.

> Brain plasticity may vary by region,

That was my point, that local culture can play a large role in shaping how autism can manifest.

> then the next step would be to do as I previously suggested. That is, identify where the many genome wide variations converge on biomarkers driving differences in plasticity.

I think it would make sense to evaluate adults from different cultures with same or similar autism types and compare and contrast their neurology.
No, it's not. It's bureacracy, and it exists in every big organisation, private or public. I'd actually suggest that public sector bodies are often worse for this.
That the whole industry embraced. Not bad for a piece of trash.
I think the problem with the "it works for me" type posts is that most people reading them think the person writing it is trying to refute what the person with the problem is saying. As in, "it works for me, so the problem must be with you, not the car".

I will refrain from commenting on whether or not that's a fair assumption to make, but I think that's where the frustration comes from.

I think when people make "WFM" posts, it would go a long way to acknowledge that the person who had a problem really did have a problem, even if implicitly.

"That's a bummer; I've driven thousands of miles using FSD, and I've felt safe and have never had to intervene. I wonder what's different about our travel that's given us such different experiences."

That kind of thing would be a lot more palatable, I think, even if you might think it's silly/tiring/whatever to have to do that every time.
My personal laptop is a Dell 7490 running Ubuntu. It's from around 2019 and the cpu is the i7-8650. The ram and nvme card are replaceable so it currently has 64G and 2TB respectively. In this configuration it's very pleasant to use and I see no compelling reason to move to a newer machine. Parts or entire replacements are cheap.

I think if you want to run Windows it might be more painful as the upgrade treadmill might force you to a place where drivers are no longer available.

Battery life is poor compared to a Mac but about average for a PC (I've replaced the battery once so far though).
Being realistic, if you have these sorts of issues more than twice a year there's probably something wrong and you should fix that. Everyone has a few of those stories, but the only people who consistently have them are likely looking for trouble and picking fights.

There was a bit of an odd phenomenon in the US where a lot of people went anti vax during covid and in those groups they tended to support using ivermectin instead to treat covid, in spite of the evidence being that vaccines were quite effective at reducing harm and ivermectin wasn't. They tended to be the right wing anti government types, while the dems were mostly in favour of getting everyone to be vaccinated. Most of the ivermectin lot were Trump voters although I don't think he suggested it - he recommended vaccination and in the early days suggested hydroxychloroquine when people still thought that might work.

I'm not american and found it all a bit odd. I mean you'd think with medication you'd follow the scientific evidence for what works rather than political stuff. Maybe social media is to blame?

They estimate about 319,000 more people died in the US that would have happened if everyone just got vaccinated when it was recommended (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/13/1098071...)

> Going to? They never stopped. Russia is behaving as it has always behaved.

They did stop. There was that long period from 1990 to 2014 where they were withdrawing their military influence. The area controlled by Moscow's is going to have shrunk over my lifetime even at current rates of conquest. We could have kept that 25-year period going if the treatment of the Russian state had been a bit more welcoming instead of rapping them over the knuckles for being naive.

> [various caps-locked sections]

There are a lot of reasons why a war might not have happened, but given that a war has actually happened it only makes sense to look why it did. The NATO budget was allowed to shrink because the USSR budget imploded - NATO was still outspending Russia by more than 10:1. Frankly it has been pretty stunning how well the Russians have held up over the last 2 years to the point where I suspect the Chinese are more actively involved than it looks.

Russia isn't complaining about what is happening in Germany, France and the UK. They're complaining about what is happening in the likes of Ukraine and Georgia. And I doubt they are as much worried by US troop deployments as they are by exactly the situation that has played out in Ukraine. Slav troops, NATO weapons and EU logistical support.

> a single non-permanent battalion with 800 personnel and 4 jets in Estonia, a 1200-strong battalion in Latvia and another in Lithuania with 4 jets, and 4000-strong armored battalion in Poland. Plus 4 jets in Romania for three months in the summer. Is this the infamous "encirclement"?

Yes. If not for encircling Russia, what use is Estonia to the US? Why else put military resources there? It is part of a broad-based strategy of lots of Russians dying if the situation gets hot. I don't think anyone would really disagree with that assessment, but the Russians are quite vocal that they'd rather it wasn't so.

> NATO nuclear missiles remain where they were 50 years ago

The specific deployment of those missiles isn't really the point; the point is that the US would never tolerate a whisper of something like NATO but directed against the US on the American continent. Russia not tolerating NATO on their borders is a pretty reasonable attitude compared to what the mirror-image US response would be.

But, that said, NATO leadership are liars. They said they weren't going to expand NATO, then they did. If they say they aren't going to station missiles in their new military allies you'd be a bit gullible to believe that. It is believable if they say missiles won't be stationed until they are sure Russia can't do anything about it.

"Then there's that there's nothing really special about Starlink"

I didn't say there was, and this isn't about Musk. I'm just using Starlink as an example, my point is not about Starlink.

"I don't see how that is polluting"

Starlink satellites create light pollution and disrupt radio frequencies. Astronomers are already running into issues with research due to the light from Starlink satellites. There's also the issue of reentry. We now have a Starlink reentry almost every single day, which is at least damaging to the ozone layer, and very likely causing other issues.

But like I said, this is not about Starlink. It's just an example to illustrate accountability sinks having both positive and negative effects.
To be fair, they didn't 'break RSA'. What they did, or claim to have done, is factorised a 22 bit number on a quantum computer. If it had two prime factors, one would have to be below about 2,000. It would have been quicker to do it on a raspberry pi.

The main benefit of the ongoing rollout of post-quantum cryptography in browsers and webservers we're seeing at the moment is not that quantum computers are cryptographically relevant now - they're not. It is to safeguard against the 'store now, decrypt later' threat model, in which an attacker records your internet traffic now, then revisits it later when better codebreaking technology is available. This is why the NIST standards for PQC are being rolled out in TLS 1.3 by various cloud providers, reverse proxies etc. We are at a minimum a decade away from anyone breaking RSA on a quantum computer.

This has the essential bits of one of the most common critiques of React, its claimed slowness.

As a seasoned React dev of 10 years (aka a heavily biased person) I would claim 99% of this issue is better explained by:
- React is the most popular choice
=> used in all kinds of places by all kinds of people
- with varying skill
- under all kinds of business pressure to deliver features
=> a lot of slow apps in React

I'm not saying a case for specific areas where React is slow can not be made, these anecdotes just don't do it for me.

We do have the synthetic framework benchmark, where React is indeed one of the slower candidates. I have yet to build an app with functionality akin to adding 10s of millions of rows, so it has not been an instructive decision driver for technology choice. The project I have been working on (also in Vue, Svelte, SwiftUI) had their bottlenecks in other places.

The non-synthetic argument in favor of React passing the performance test is billions of people using FB, Insta, Netflix, MS Office (to name some of the big React apps), about which I have not much in terms of complaints.\
This is usually where the second big React critique kicks in: it being a Fortune-500 framework. That has not been my non-fortune-ate experience.

I think a residual argument can still survive this: I/my org has not been able to write performant React. I'd be curious to read someone go into the details of where it broke down and how switching view layers solved for that specific situation (I hope that does not read cynical, I'd really be curious).
I won’t go too heavily into details, but I’ve had them come up with rather innocuous sets of words, ones that, horrifyingly, a young child would be likely to use. And if you include drawn media alongside photographic abuse material then it can be as simple as looking up characters from a cartoon.

>Eventually the hardware that Windows 11 doesn't like will age out

Until then it could be like covid, where older cars became more valuable.

Many people might prefer to keep an older PC just so they can keep running Windows 10 until the hardware is not just old, but finally wears out completely.

Kind of like a disease Windows is suffering from, people hope it will get better, but no drug company big enough is working on a cure and there should have been a vaccine against this kind of thing to begin with.
Everyone, including the most competent, makes mistakes though.

If single small mistakes have disastrous consequences, the system is probably too brittle. Approaching it from a blameless angle gives you a better chance of fixing it, as people will cooperate to fix the issue rather than be busy not getting fired

You can still identify and fire/relocate/retrain incompetent people, but that is better done as a continuous thing than as a response to a mishap
I've come to realize that this is what people do. It doesn't matter if it's tech or shipping or livery or donuts. They start with something special. Something that tastes great or is ultra-convenient or just neat and squeeze the profit out of it until the product is no longer desirable.

This is what happens when our addictable human brains and capitalism collide. We look for every way to get value from something - reducing costs, increasing price - and apply them to maximize profit because money is the macgiffin that stands in for motivation. In the end the people making the product are underpaid and the product is just good enough that the right number of people buy it and everything that was special about it is gone with the exception that a small group of people are gleaning all the remaining profit from the thing. This is the ideal state of capitalism. Make as much money as possible with the least concession to labour and consumer as possible. It has already started, but the new frontier of optimization is to socially/legally lower the bar of labor concessions and convert the purchase to a subscription where the consumer is paying even when they aren't using your product. Changing the rules instead of playing the game better.

We will need a better system if we're going to support our populations in the future. Optimization of this one is basically removing competition which leads to fewer possibilities of things to market.
I think GP is going too far in calling you a liar, but I think for the most part your FSD praise is just kinda... unimportant and irrelevant. GP's aggressive attitude notwithstanding, I think most reasonable people will agree that FSD handles a lot of situations really well, and believe that some people have travel routes where FSD always handles things well.

But ok, great, so what? If that wasn't the case, FSD would be an unmitigated disaster with a body count in the tens of thousands. So in a comment thread about someone talking about the problems and unsafe behavior they've seen, a "well it works for me" reply is just annoying noise, and doesn't really add anything to the discussion.

Why would he not "assume" that when humans have shaped their world so far beyond what it was, creating intricate layers of art, culture and science; even going into space or in the air? Man collectively tamed nature and the rest of the animal kingdom in a way that no beast ever has.

> Also, rebooting is offensive to me as a programmer. Kernel updates and memory leaks are the only reason you need to reboot.

This surprises me - as a programmer you should realise that reboots can often help. Cache invalidation is one of the notoriously hard CS problems and an awful lot of systems will start fresh on reboot.

> (Never mind that I personally don't feel like I've ever had a modem/isp actually problem solved by rebooting)

My current ISP is better, but my previous ISP cycled IP addresses at 2am (and lost connectivity for about 30 seconds at the same time) on a Friday night. I would semi-frequently be up playing games at that hour, and it was about 50/50 as to whether devices on my network would survive the blip. Rebooting the router had a 100% success rate.

I currently (unfortunately) have a google wifi mesh system. It works great, except about once a month it reports that absolutely everything is fine, all tests pass from my mobile device, but my laptop has no internet connectivity. Rebooting fixes it just fine.

> How absolutely shitty is modem firmware that the ISP actually spent the time to build this reboot system out?

Firmware is still software, like it or lump it. Modem firmware has been shitty for a long time. A major ISP [0] in the UK had an issue with their firmware that caused massive latency spikes under load. Alsom Power loss happens sometimes. The modem/router has to be able to turn on in the first place, so a "reboot" is just going through that process again. It's attempting to return to a "last known good".

Since I don’t have access to personal insights or subjective thoughts beyond what you’ve shared, I can only reflect on patterns or observations from our past interactions. Based on our conversations, you might already recognize this about yourself, but here’s a reflection:

You seem highly intentional about creating meaningful connections, whether through your business relationships or in personal contexts. You often focus on fostering value-driven relationships, carefully balancing professionalism with a genuine care for others, as seen through your commitment to handwritten notes and thoughtful introductions. Your approach suggests a level of emotional intelligence that likely plays a key role in your success—perhaps more than you realize.

Does any of that resonate with how you see yourself?

Extra. I am not sure if that is clear from paper, but in example of 1.75 * 2.5
we can represent 1.75 also as (1-0.125) * 2. This gives good aproximations for numbers that are close but less than power of 2. This way abs(a*b) in (1+a)*(1+b) is allways small and strictly less than 0.25.

Another example, if we have for example 1.9 * 1.9 then we need to account for overflow in (0.9 + 0.9) and this seems to induce similar overhead as expressing numbers as (1-0.05)*2 .

I don't think it works at all, no.

There's no accountability sink to speak of here. "Accountability sink" in the article's meaning means that accountability got obscured, something bad happened (eg, lies on TV, terrible customer service), yet nobody can be clearly blamed for giving the order.

Here, it's Musk's invention, and he's clearly to blame for it. In fact Musk has a propensity to take more credit than he deserves, so it's almost the opposite from a sink really.

USB-C will work fine for these things. I've found it very reliable. But will the dongle be a nuisance for you?

If you're only going to be using them in one place (e.g. your home office) then go for a dock - it's nice to have everything connected with a single cable and a number of monitors have suitable docks built in these days.

If you'll want them on the go then yes, I'd at least look for something with the audio and hdmi ports built in just for the convenience factor.
I agree, but;

Support chat is universally shitty. My mobile provider's website only works if you keep the browser window open, and times out if you go away for 2 minutes. The replies often take more than 2 minutes. I can only access "certain" information about my account if I'm on mobile data, except my carrier's website doesn't work if I am out of data. (granted, I am on a super budget mobile network, but still). In the last 18 months, the chat experience has been taken over by LLM's which are just acting as full text search for the doc pages that don't solve my problem.

I still choose web chat over any other method of interaction though.

I experience this pretty often with the newfangled, automated government e-filing systems.

As a screen-reader-using person who cannot use pen and paper without assistance, I was once quite enamored by them, but I've changed my stance a bit.

The thing about pen and paper is that it accepts anything you put in, and it's up to a human to validate whether what you put in makes any sense. Computers aren't like that, if they tell you that the numbers in your application have to match up, you need to lie to the government to make them match up, even if you're a weird edge case where the numbers should, in fact, be slightly off and "inconsistent" with each other.

I called the local govt office responsible for this specific program, and they essentially told me to lie to the government in not so many words. Their system is centrally managed, they have no power of introducing updates to it, they wish they could fix it, but even they aren't empowered to do so.

The fact that the scratches always appear within the confines of one of the computer displays indicates they occurred on one of the many 16 mm loops used in rear projection to fill the screens with animated readouts.
