TBH, Hyderabad is quite underwhelming from a tourism perspective.

From the slim pickings we have, in no particular order:

- High tea and heritage tour at the Falknuma Palace

- Salar Jung Museum: The Veiled Rebecca and Mephistopheles and Margaretta are the highlights. The Musical Clock is vastly overrated.

- Chowmahalla Palace

- The Nizam's Museum

- Qutub Shahi Tombs

- Jewel of the Nizam for upscale Hyderabadi dining

- Burma Burma Resturant and Tea Room for vegetarian Asian fusion cuisine

- Ramoji Film City if you're into that sort of a thing.
Sounds like WASM is their JS0 already?

How many times have you been asked to hand your phone over exactly? In any case, you're free to challenge, etc. See link.

So Australia's not the worst "anglo country" then?

Do you recall correctly? Did Australia stop? Are there Australians that have access to raw stats on health, border incidents, etc?
If the disability affects a core job role then there are no reasonable accommodations.
A blind person can't be a fire lookout, but they can be a host/greeter even though most customers would like to be acknowledged when they enter. the workplace just needs to make some changes to help the person.

also I'm not sure if 'customer wants the person not to do something' is undue hardship. If the employer says my customer wants to work with someone who can see my face when I talk, does that mean that employer doesn't need to accommodate blind people?

Like maybe the accommodation in your example could be to have another person on the team join meetings with you to provide a few minutes of coverage if you're late.
If the job role really needs only one person to be exactly punctual all the time (does it really though?) then the eeoc advises to place the person in a different role with similar functions that aren't affected by the disability. read the guidance at eeoc.gov

Most of the time there are reasonable accommodations. It varies by person and the accommodations are specific to the role and person.

My point is that asking someone to just try harder is not the answer, and kind of ablist as it denies the reality of disability.
Especially when you frame it as an accusation of laziness or an excuse to slack off.
There is an anti-musk campaign on-going and anything Musk does is being criticized. That being said, from my Youtube observations it seems that the biggest issue is the build quality. They clearly rushed this through.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see this thing in small alleys and especially with the crazy speeds you can accelerate with. But it's definitively an interesting model.
The issue here is at the end of the day, there is work to do, and results matter.

Everyone has finite shits to give.

If everything is going fine, other people will often be willing to pick up slack or adjust. If other people are exhausted, overworked, or have no more shits to give - they won’t. Or more precisely, at some point they can’t. Or suffer negative outcomes themselves.

Disabilities are called that because they make things harder, for the people who have them, and for those around them. Same with disorders.
I'm speaking only to the high rate of over-prescription and misdiagnosis (this is a fact), and how it's very likely that more than a few people are finding their lives more difficult with medication. The potential for spiraling out is certainly there with amphetamines, and it can sneak up on you, especially when basic physiological needs are no longer being met. Having known these people for a good while, I think they fell squarely into this category.
> the diagnosis isn't based on any genetic marker

Neither is depression, PTSD, autism, chronic pain, schizophrenia, narcissism, MPD, and so forth. But they all exist. And they can all be debilitating to the point of becoming a disorder. They all have treatments according to their classification.

Being invisible doesn't make it not be a disorder.
I am absolutely not suggesting that "full-time employment years" are better allocated to work/job/employment.

Just modeling what we (US, 40hrs/wk and 50wks/yr) consider a "full-time" commitment to any task/activity.
Ahh, yes. Because policing themselves did such wonders for the industry? Not to mention, such a great job of securing the trust of the population. No dice.

I’m not a game dev but I have occasionally made small throw-away projects with UE/Unity/GD. When you’d make a game for web on these, I’d assume they’ll be rendered as a canvas.

That’s why I am thinking that custom fonts in a browser game are nothing more than just pixels to draw for the browser.

I’m doing pretty much anything with Flutter now, even trying to build 2D games with it and unless I’m mistaken: it all renders on a canvas, which has its pros and cons, but in your case it would’ve been a non-issue, or did I misunderstand?
Mao and the party nearly adopted pinyin as the national alphabet but stepped back from the brink.

I remember the great Peking->Beijing uplift. Reading "China reconstructs" magazines there were suggestions it was coming, and then it just went away. BBC newsreaders explained it was the new official look. Like Turkey-> Türkiye.

I suspect all syllabery/ideogram scripts have this latent problem. At 2,500 ideograms for "literate" there's a lot of potential to lose non core elements. "Educated" means over 5,000 heading to 10,000 and the complete set is north of 40,000 from what I understand. I can't imagine the investment in time to get there.
> There isn’t a brain scan that can detect ADHD.

I think it's important to note that even if there were, it wouldn't change the inherently arbitrary nature of ADHD diagnoses (as opposed to the more objective presence of a bacterial infection or an ACL tear). Such a brain scan would legitimize the careers of thousands of people and be deeply celebrated by insurers and physicians alike, as it would dramatically simplify the diagnostic procedure, but the scan would still just be "identifying brains that fall into several of these metrics 1-N we wrote down in the DSM". It would be possible to change the DSM such that the brain scan would have to be adjusted as well, which is very difficult to do with other conditions that are more obviously "real".

My two cents, although I admit I've put more like six cents into this thread in total, is that 95% of the suffering that those "with ADHD" experience come from poorly-designed schools and businesses, which keep them captured, tracked, and timed for deeply questionable societal benefits. I'm not about to say you can operate a space station or manufacture semiconductors or supply the US cold stowage network without a good amount of capturing, tracking, and timing, but I am going to say that much of the psychological torment ADHD-havers endure is because they're failing to live up to stupid, useless goals set by people with misguided ideas about why the goals exist.

Which sounds like a good thing. Then it follows with:

> Your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint

This sounds like a bad thing to me because uniqueness makes me more identifiable. Do I interpret it correctly? What's the value I should look for?

I am very sceptical of LLM (or any AI) code generation usefulness and it does not really have anything to do with AI itself.

In the past I've been involved in several projects deeply using MDA (Model Driven Architecture) techniques which used various code generation methods to develop software. One of the main obstacles was the problem of maintaining the generated code.

IOW: how should we treat generated code?

If we treat it in the same way as code produced by humans (ie. we maintain it) then the maintenance cost grows (super-linearly) with the amount of code we generate. To make matters worse for LLM: since the code it generates is buggy it means we have more buggy code to maintain. Code review is not the answer because code review power in finding bugs is very weak.

This is unlike compilers (that also generate code) because we don't maintain code generated by compilers - we regenerate it anytime we need.

The fundamental issue is: for a given set of requirements the goal is to produce less code, not more. _Any_ code generation (however smart it might be) goes against this goal.

Are there any details on how this works? Based on what is available in the linked article, it looks like they have an LLM+RAG and are trying to pass off the responses as speech from the user. Done with full transparency, and right protections, this could be useful, but calling it BCI, and overselling it as user's voice (especially given voice cloning is also being done) can be misrepresenting it.

Because it feels like you are building something but you are not. The problem solving in factorio is just tedious like doing manual calculations and you spend a lot of time doing this. It satisfies the problem solving itch for people who haven't faced any challenging problems in their work. Once you start solving these problems in real life factorio just seems pointless. Dont get me wrong i like paying pointless games that require very little to zero thinking (Muscle memory based) that I find satisfying. Factorio is just tedious.

Upgrading React with micro-front ends
Agreed, and not just that you can. You absolutely should.
But could that tooling possibly be? It would have to be a combination of prompts (which can't be effectively since LLM treat both user input and prompts as "language" and so you never be sure user input won't take priority) and pre/post scripts and filters, which by definition aren't as "smart" as an LLM.
This plan is somehow even more insane than the original one. Now you have to launch bombs into space many years before launching your craft, then somehow fly in absolute precision with them to pass close enough to get an even push but not so close as to collide.
> they make things harder, ... for those around them

Agreed. I think the point I'm trying to make is simple, to abuse your examples here: Your not giving a shit is neither my fault nor my problem.

And to generalize it, "Your problem with my personal trait is neither my fault nor my problem." Be that trait a disability, skin color, sexuality, gender, or nationality.

Because unfortunately disabilities are just targeted as all those other ones when people want a scapegoat.

I might be getting a bit philosophical, but that's what this feels like it boils down to. Person A is vocal about their dislike of something about Person B.
Yes. The sphere at the tip has a certain radius, and the indicator will show zero (again) when the sphere has been deflected by its radius (i.e. the contact point is exactly at the center line). When out of contact, it's essentially telling you that you're missing at least a whole millimeter to the point where you should be.

Often there is a second needle indicating which of these situations you're in, but I assume it's not considered necessary because if you're 1mm off, the situation is (in the contexts in which these devices are used) very obvious.

If they cant or wont get ADA accommodations officially through HR, I don’t care what their doctor says (I don’t have access to their real medical records for obvious privacy reasons). They might as well have a diagnosis from a food truck chef.

It’s not my place to tell anyone whether they actually have a disability, especially one as pernicious as ADHD, but it’s also not anyone’s job to accommodate slackers who doesn’t follow the proper ADA process.

Next time someone uses their ADHD as an excuse to slack off, go talk to HR about what accommodations they requested and whether or not they’re reasonable. Forcing coworkers to pick up the slack for an existing assignment isn’t reasonable - ADHD accommodations are taken care of at the management and planning levels, not during standups. Stuff like flexible work schedules and office environments that minimize distractions are reasonable, but it’s not a get out of jail free card for one’s duties.

American Heart Association says Americans on average have 3500mg sodium which is ~9g salt. I'd guess that's mostly from snacks and side dishes, plus salt used in less-recognizable ways during food production? If you have an upper outlier of 6g I'd say you have a fairly rare diet.
Gboard Double-Sided Version [video]
Mostly agree.

My first thought when I read this post was: Is his goal to test the code, or validate the features?

The first problem is he's providing the code, and asking for tests. If his code has a bug, the tests will enshrine those bugs. It's like me writing some code, and then giving it to a junior colleague, not providing any context, and saying "Hey, write some tests for this."

This is backwards. I'm not a TDD guy, but you should think of your test cases independent of your code.
I thought about this for a bit.

I agree that if violence is ok, sex should be too, however keep in mind that in life violence and death are met way earlier than sex, at least in current society.

Violence is something children face (in a minor shape, but still) at age 3 when they argue with another kid.
Death, they start facing it very rapidly: dead insect, dead bird. My 3 years old recently realized that when we say "we eat chicken" we mean that we are eating an actual chicken and was shocked. Took him a while to digest, he connected the dots with death.

Sex? They don't know what it is. Dad and mum do it behind locked doors.
They will find out from tv before real life experience.

That being said, if you look at farm animals, those deal with sex basically as soon as they are born. So I'm not sure how society grew hiding sex for a good chunk of life (not saying it's wrong, I just have no idea how it happened).

It's a hard topic
> This is where you say something about "exact" vs "inexact" as though that will hand wave it away.

I'm not familiar with this debate, but how is that a hand wave? The article describes a reasonable-sounding way to extend the tower with a second dimension of precision. Following those rules, you would never just convert between bigint and float, but an expression involving both would output a float.
I have adhd one way I get myself to do my administrative tasks is by trying to somehow mentally connect it to a goal that I am hyper focused on already. Another thing that helps me personally is running as it helps me center my thoughts to find my next step to advance to the goal(s) I am trying to achieve.
You're running too much stuff. Privacy badger and ublock together is a bad idea for example.
"...when you’re incentivising organisational behaviour with metrics, there are really only three ways people might respond: 1) they might improve the system, 2) they might distort the system, or 3) they might distort the data."

This is wrong, and the wrongness of it undermines the whole piece, I think:

- A fourth way people respond is to oppose the choice of target and/or metric; to question its value and lobby to change it.

- A fifth way people respond is to oppose the whole idea of incentives on the basis of metrics (perhaps by citing Goodhart's Law... which is a use of Goodhart's Law).

Goodhart's Law is useful not just because it reminds us that making a metric a target may incentivize behavior that makes THAT metric a poor indicator of a good system, but also because choosing ANY metric as a target changes everyone's relationship with ALL metrics-- it spells the end of inquiry and the beginning of what might be called compliance anxiety.
If you mean intuition, it is one of the libraries included in the operating system (usually part of the kickstart ROM).

The lossless JPEG recompression is a combination of VarDCT and some additional metadata. In fact, VarDCT should be considered as a (very large) superset of JPEG1 compression. The distinction between VarDCT and Modular in JPEG XL is relatively clear, but in reality VarDCT would still use modular encoding for various data anyway so it is hard to consider one without another. (Compare with Opus, which also uses two main mechanisms but mix them so well that they can't be really separated.)
> "weak science"

The irony is when you're under the influence of psychedelics, "weak science" is the least likeliest thought you'll have.

We know psychedelics change perception and mood significantly. That should be the starting point. I'm surprised anyone bothers with placebos. Lab coats and data analysis only gets you so far. Leary was right, set and setting is crucial. We come from a 'billion years of evolution', and the idea is to reflect on your own humanity and consciousness. If you attempt that within a 4 walled room, you're asking for trouble.

Temporary loss of ego is a whole topic that needs to be part of the learning. Big doses push perception outside yourself. That effect alone is beneficial, if unsettling. If in doubt, avoid. Climbing a mountain or going on epic multi-day adventure in nature is healthier anyway if you have the opportunity.
> That's just talking. Freedom of speech is a different thing

It’s really not. Our modern conception of freedom of speech derives from English Parliamentary privileges. (See Coke and Erasmus.)

Those, in turn, derived from Athenian democratic principles, where “just talking” was the system of government. In the most technical of senses, you are incorrect on what freedom of speech and the right to free speech mean. (Which are, again, distinct from both one another and legal protections of free speech, including the First Amendment.)

You should NEVER modify generated code. All of our generated code is pretended with a big comment that says "GENERATED CODE DO NOT MODIFY. This code could be regenerated at any time and any changes will be lost."

If you need to change behaviour of generated code you need to change your generator to provide the right hooks.

Obviously none of this applies to "AI" generated code because the "AI" generator is not deterministic and will hallucinate different bugs from run to run. You must treat "AI" generated code as if it was written by the dumbest person you've ever worked with.
Right, you have to keep a human in the loop - which is fine by me and the way I use LLM tools, but not so great for the people out there salivating over the idea of "autonomous agents" that go ahead and book trips / manage your calendar / etc without any human constantly having to verify what they're trying to do.
While I’m not terribly familiar with the Statute of Anne, the Wikipedia entry clearly states it was the first copyright law to be regulated by the public and granted copyright to authors which could then transfer that right to a publisher.

“It also marked the first time that copyright had been vested primarily in the author, rather than the publisher, and also the first time that the injurious treatment of authors by publishers was recognized; regardless of what authors signed away, the second 14-year term of copyright would automatically return to them.”

Your source, as best I can tell, has nothing to do with work for hire or collaborative works.

While trying to find more information, I came across this article from Cornell[0] that suggests the idea that an employer would own the work of its employees was a novel concept that originated in the late 1800s and was codified in 1909. That’s long after the Statute of Anne and early US copyright laws.

While your idea is certainly not one I’m familiar with, you seem relatively confident in it. Is there something I’m missing?

Regarding being topless, I realized the same. In Canada, BC, all women are allowed to be topless.

We had a huge issue at the homeowner association I'm part of because of the swimsuit of a man showing the shape of their genitalia (not in a sexualized wa) "more than usual", whatever that means. To which I responded that if a woman will show up topless, what are you going to do?
And then after some research, I discovered that for gender equality in bc, women can go topless.

I'd like to think I'm progressive on that stuff, but I'm embarrassed watching sex scenes with family, pretty sure this has to be due to the behavior of my parents with me about it. And yet, it bothers me being embarrassed, I wish I could fix the brainwashing, but emotions are not rational.
100% agree.
