I'd argue that we need to start treating cars like the utilitarian objects they are and stop associating our personalities with them.
That’s a crazy ascetic view of life. Also completely unrelated to almost anyone on this forum, since it’s unlikely most here are doing any work that saves anyone’s life

I think the problem is dimensionality. Business leaders naturally work in low dimensional space - essentially 1D increase NPV. However, understanding how this translates to high dimensional concrete action is what separates bad business leaders from good ones.

Looking through your comment history, I'm sure you are very well aware.
Not that I am a politics junkie but I don't recall any incident where a cabinet level officer has made a public presentation urging the public to vote one way or the other. I suspect they are very coached on the hatch act and made to understand that for them the consequences are likely to be severe.

In case you're curious at the low level among civilians it happens all the time, usually settled with a minor slap on the wrist (few days probation and docked pay). For someone in the military though I suspect it could be career-ending at a minimum, with unknown punishments meted out via the UCMJ (generally stricter than civilian courts for things like this).

This one was pretty egregious though:

I like that it’s similar to work and that is probably why it is my favorite game. Sometimes I don’t have the intensity needed to attack a hard problem at work so I chill out and work on my factory instead. Once I notice that I’m becoming too ambitious in the game I can tell that my intensity has returned and will switch back to work. If I don’t have the energy for factorio then clearly I won’t have the energy for work so there is no point in forcing it. It’s like a halfway point between relaxation and work where I can hang out for a while before committing to either.
I've been diagnosed, and both before and after, sheer terror of being seen that way has helped keep me generally productive at work for decades. But I run into something that seems related - I feel like a fraud, particularly when I get compliments or recognition at work. Yes, I am actually doing the work - it. But I know I could be far more effective if I could focus better. So I always feel like I'm only accomplishing a small fraction of what I could... and I expect people to realize that any moment now.
The separation of real, useful ground truth vs false information is an issue for humans, so I don't see how an attack vector like this is blockable without massively superhuman abilities to determine the truth.

In a world where posting false information for profit has lowered so much, determining what is worth sticking into training data, and what is just an outright fabrication seems like a significant danger that is very expensive to try to patch up, and impossible to fix.

It's red queen races all the way down, and we'll be bound to find ourselves in times where the bad actors are way ahead.

Twisting anti-outsourcing into xenophobia is quite frankly corporate doublespeak.

If you're following my argument I'm not taking issue with "foreign person" but "salary suppression" and "foreign credential"

The US addressed the doctor shortage in the late 70s and early 80s by offering foreign doctors top dollar and an expedited visa process to come here, complete US training, and then join the workforce. This was a good thing. But today's solution is waive the US training years so you can lowball them on the salary.

If employers recruited foreign workers at the payscale as domestic workers (and held them to the same credentialing standards), it wouldn't be salary suppression and I wouldn't have a problem with it.

> No, it's not a safeguard. Just like it ain't in the US. The only thing necessary for a safeguard would be something like a rule that you need to sign tedious paperwork of acknowledgement before you can be treated by someone without the proper credentials. Not a ban.

A libertarian approach doesn't work here. Healthcare isn't a free market.

In the best case, you often don't get to choose any doctor you want - you are limited to the pool of doctors that your insurance covers. And what your insurance covers is a function along the lines of (bare minimum required by the law) + (just enough extra to make the policy seem attractive).

In the worst case, if you show up to the emergency room unconscious or delirious or in critical condition, you aren't in a position to sign or make decision about anything. So anyone whose health will ever reach that stage better be comfortable with the lowest common denominator.

100% this. This often manifests as "It's not your fault but it is your responsibility." Which is a great thinking framework when it helps you accept what you have and do what you can do mitigate it.

But here's the kicker: our "what we can do" will never be enough to be neurotypical.

We'll need help, even when we're using all our coping mechanisms. And if we don't get that help, the outcome is simple: we're going to fail.

That's a bit hyperbolic though, don't you think?

It's pretty unreasonable to compare one relatively minor disability to an extreme physical one that inhibits basic things like brushing your teeth or going to the bathroom.

ADHD doesn't stop you from doing those basic things does it?

For many people with ADHD it doesn't make things impossible, just much more difficult.

I think the point that the person you're trying to make is that too many people with an ADHD diagnosis think that being public with that diagnosis gives them a free pass to not over come the difficulties they face.
In much of Latin America that's exactly what happens. The public schools are generally horrible and upper middle class and upper-class families simply put their kids in private schools. Public schools are not an option for these families, so they don't support government policies that aim to invest in the failing schools - a vicious cycle that led to the virtual destruction of the public education system.

Articles about the merits of JPEG XL come up with some regularity on Hacker News, as if to ask, "why aren't we all using this yet?"

This one has a section on animation and cinemagraphs, saying that video formats like AV1 and HEVC are better suited, which makes sense. Here's my somewhat off-topic question: is there a video format that requires support for looping, like GIFs? GIF is a pretty shoddy format for video compared to a modern video codec, but if a GIF loops, you can expect it to loop seamlessly in any decent viewer.

With videos it seems you have to hope that the video player has an option to loop, and oftentimes there's a brief delay at the end of the video before playback resumes at the beginning. It would be nice if there were a video format that included seamless looping as part of the spec -- but as far as I can tell, there isn't one. Why not? Is it just assumed that anyone who wants looping video will configure their player to do it?

I've been through the certifying process for broadcast transmitters from scratch, albeit in Australia. I can tell you it's damn easy to overwhelm the petty certifying bureaucrats, especially so when you can prove your engineering mods give better performance specs (less harmonic interference, etc.) than beforehand. In fact, our bespoke broadcast TXs gave better performance than any commonly-available commercial equipment.

Bureaucrats want a quite life, and when threatened with their actual names and positions being published in the press for being obstructive over nothing then they'll cave in. Remember, troublemakers in the public sector aren't usually rewarded with promotions.

The machine from 30+ years ago that I regularly took apart and put back together had about 35 user-cleanable parts for the milkshake side and 12 for the ice cream side. The worst part of the ordeal was removing the rubber o-rings They went on easily enough, but removing took quite a bit of patience. The whole process took about 30 minutes, start-to-finish, including soaking the washed parts in bleach -- no dishwasher as the blades used to cut the frozen ice cream base from the inside of the machine would dull and ding causing damage to the machine.

The new machines came in long after I moved on to other jobs. In ideal situations, they re-pasteurize the mix overnight, leading to a drop in 1-2 person-hours of labor.

The problem with unbounded page width is that the content often didn't work well that wide. I use a 1440p monitor and on the old theme, paragraphs were often a bit too wide to read comfortably. As a Wikipedia editor, it was also very often a challenge when writing articles – it's difficult to make your placement of images and tables and so forth look decent on viewports anywhere from ~400px to >2000px wide.

All that said, the new theme does allow you to return to wide mode -- on any page on the site, there's an Appearance options panel in the rightmost column where you can switch from Standard to Wide.
That's my thought too. Cybertruck had an enormous number of preorders and apparently lots of them are backing out rather than taking delivery, but those that do take delivery still mean that Tesla can deliver cybertrucks as fast as they can produce them until the backlog is gone.
I've been a vim (then neovim) user since 1999 (plus or minus 1 year - basically so long that I don't precisely remember).

I've written so much custom vimscript for things like an irc client, tiling window manager within vim, literate programming, my own slime'ish plug-in, etc, etc, that I even have a prelude.vim, with my own "standard lib" of useful vim functions.

The only point behind this is to say that, you could say, I appreciate and "get" vim.

So after 20+ years of nothing but vim, I felt the urge to try acme because of all the cool videos I kept seeing. And, 20 years of anything is enough to cause burnout.

And you know what - I really, really liked acme. The best way I can describe it is that you may well be slowly for strictly text editing tasks, but more if your attention is left for what you're actually doing, and less is spent playing vimgolf (or even remembering YOUR OWN mappings for YOUR OWN plug-ins- because you accumulate oh so many of them).

It's a simple system, with a few basic primitives, which when approached with a clean mindset - are really very powerful.

The best way to approach acme is NOT to think of it as a text editor, but rather think if it as a replacement for your terminal.

(btw, I use an acme fork called acme2k, with some additional nicities - some of which anvil also has).

In the end, I didn't completely abandon neovim, but now I use neovim in a more acmelike fashion. All my terms are inside neovim, and I frequently pipe from shell to empty buffers, etc.

Basically, try it. It's so different, it's hard to get across in just words. It's like smalltalk - you have to try it to really get it.
You seem to be saying that people presenting with classic symptoms of ADHD clearly don’t have it because stimulant abuse can also cause those symptoms?

Sure, people get misdiagnosed or purposely lie to get meds, but tons of people legitimately have the condition. Insomnia, poor basic self care, and fatigue (hello insomnia among others) are 100% symptoms of the condition. Taking medication doesn’t “fix” ADHD, it helps some people cope better in some ways.
You don't always need to announce it to everyone. You can try talking to HR and asking for accommodations (which someone with ADHD is eligible for through the ADA). And the nice thing there is you don't have to tell anyone else.

Accommodations can include things as simple as leeway for coming in late, or with deadlines. They can even go up to removing specific requirements from your role.

It's worth asking what's available at least.

> We don't expect human developers to be perfect, why should we expect AI assistants.

What absolute nonsense. What an absurd false equivalence. It's not that we expect perfection or even human level performance from "AI". It's that the crap that comes out of LLMs is not even at the level of a first year student. I've never in my entire life reviewed the code of a junior engineer and seen them invent third party APIs from whole cloth. I've never had a junior send me code that generates a payload that doesn't validate at the first layer of the operation with zero manual testing to check it. No junior has ever asked me to review a pull request containing references to an open source framework that doesn't exist anywhere in my application. Yet these scenarios are commonplace in "AI" generated code.

You're just carrying on what you were called by your parents, teachers, coaches, and peers. ADHD and being called lazy is common. And when we're told that so frequently, we begin to believe it.

Even though it's not true. Sometimes no amount of mental effort can break past the barriers we face on a daily, hourly, even minute by minute basis.
It doesn't matter how inefficient this is because as it stands we are "curtailing" — which means throwing away — an insane amount of energy in the spring just because we can't figure out what to do with it. The amount of solar power curtailed so far in 2024 was more than enough to desalinate one million acre-feet of seawater and pump it to 1000' above sea level.
I feel like it and Satisfactory redirects the part of me that creates and looks for novel ways of doing things from something that yields useful byproducts that actually change the world in tiny ways into something that yields nothing but more of itself. And it never really ends. I don't mind useless stuff, I play games, but something about Factorio and Satisfactory both draws me in and makes me feel so empty. I think because it scratches the itch that IRL I have built my career on, but points it towards something useless.

That all may be true, but I deeply hate having the devices I supposedly own make all these determinations for me. If I buy a hammer, it doesn’t just disappear up if I try to use it to break a window that doesn’t belong to me. It’s my responsibility to use it according to the law or possibly face the consequences. If I record calls in a state with the idiotic all-party consent law, for my own records, I can’t use them in court, but it’s a victimless crime if I just use them to say, keep track of what the incompetent people at the health insurance company told me, and I wish I lived in a world where that was my risk to take and my business only.

I think you need to consider the user interface here.

Someone with the phone number A texts a message to number B. Say the message is forwarded to number C. In order for the user with device C to respond to A, it would first be necessary for B to rewrite the message text to say that the message came from A. They then the user of C needs to make sure to manually send the message to A. Now, depending on how savvy the user of A happens to be, they might not find it completely disorienting. If you were to attempt to send to both A and B via a group text that might help some. But then you'll also be getting extra copies of your messages fed back to you from B. Unless the forwarding on B is also smart enough to filter them. And then there is still the problem that in future conversations, the user of A might just send messages directly to C, bypassing the other forwarding recipients of B, defeating the point of having a shared point of contact.

So forwarding has considerable awkwardness and room for error.
