I think regardless of the medication decision, a diagnosis like this is a wake up call for self awareness.

Have him start paying attention to himself. Two things that spring to mind are the effects of caffeine and protein. Caffeine causes jitters in normal people and I’ve seen it have overwhelming effects on mentees with concentration difficulties. In one mentee it made concentration impossible. He has now cut it from his diet entirely. When I was mentoring my nephew he was significantly more capable after a protein breakfast compared to a carb breakfast.

Focus on things that work (quiet settings for example) and learn to cope with the things that don’t (my friend has adhd and through coping is immune from distraction, he’s always distracted so he’s always returning from distraction).

Knowing that he’s at a disadvantage he can slow down. Simply consciously going slow and reading things twice can change everything. I knew I was at a disadvantage in my first university course so I read the assigned reading twice. I ended up with the highest grade in the class because I worked to overcome my disadvantage. The coping mechanisms he creates to overcome a disadvantage can become a super power.

There might be simple and easy things that have a huge effect on his ability to concentrate, but he might only notice if he slows down enough to pay attention to them.

In my experience there are a lot of servers that don't handle HEAD at all, let alone correctly.

Who's still distributing with AppImage? Most desktop distros these days are based on flatpak or snap, which are as one-click-easy as any other app store, and certainly don't require writing any config files. When you do need to configure the packaging, e.g. to access different directories, there's a standard GUI for that purpose (buried deep in settings, but most people won't be using it).
How the OS/2 flop went on to shape modern software
As another layman, no, I don't think so.

The "twin paradox" [1] is a prime example. The two twins depart from a common point in time and space, go about their separate travels, and meet again at a common point in space-time. Despite both twins always having the same constant speed of light, one of the twins takes a shorter path through time to get to the meeting point--one twin aged less than the other. In the paradox case, the shorter/longer paths are due to differences in acceleration. But the same thing happens due to differences in gravitation along two paths. (In fact, IIUC, acceleration and gravitational differences are the same thing.)

Just thinking about the math makes my head hurt, but it's apparent that two different photons can have taken very different journeys to reach us. For example, the universe was much denser in the dim past. Old, highly red-shifted photons have spent a lot of time slogging through higher gravitational fields. As a layman, that would suggest to me that, on average, time would have.. moved slower for them?... they would be even older than naive appearances suggest. I don't think the actual experts are naive, so that's been accounted for, or there's confounding factors. But I could also imagine that more chaotic differences, such as supernovas in denser galatic centers vs. the suburbs, or from galaxies embedded in huge filaments, could be hard to calculate.

What happens is that you in fact lend part of your brain to all the data that you see on your screen. You don't realize it but your subconscious mind sees senses a lot of stuff your conscious mind is not aware about. Until you see it after you just talked about it thinking it was your idea and panic.

What you actually talk about with people (excluding maybe the proffesional stuff) is mundane stuff you see on your screens, newspapers, billboards, etc.

You're a very poor person.
It seems you are conflating concepts, maybe because you take it personally which it shouldn’t be. The process can be broken, but that doesn’t mean the academic is bad, just that they are part of a broken process. Likewise if a scrum is a broken process, it will lead to bad results. If it isn’t “done properly” then we seem to be saying the same thing: the process isn’t working. As I and others have said, there are some misaligned incentives which can lead to a broken process. Just because it sometimes works doesn’t mean it’s a good process, anymore than a broken clock is still correct twice a day. It varies by discipline, but there seems to be quite a few domains where there is actually more bad publications than good. That signals a bad process.

As others have talked about here, sometimes it becomes impossible to replicate the results. Is it because of some error in the replication process, the data, the practioner, or is the original a sham? It's hard to deduce when there's a lot you can't chase down.

I also think you are applying an overly superficial rationalization as to why sharing code would amplify the replication issue. This is only true if people mindlessly re-run the code. The point of sharing it is so the code can be interrogated to see if there are quality issues. Your same argument could be made for sharing data; if people just blindly accept the data the replication issue would amplify. Yet we know that sharing the data is what led to uncovering some of the biggest issues in replication, and I don’t see many people defending hiding data as a contradiction in the publication process. I suspect it’s for the reasons others have already eluded to in this thread.

You've reminded me of how intensely frustrating it was to be a fan of a TV show pre-WWW and pre-streaming, when networks would shuffle shows between different days and times, trying to find the perfect lineup (or trying to accelerate the demise of an underperforming series).
Exactly.

Causality isn’t an equivalence relation with blame. A moral aspect has to be established.
Yes, it was a very fast landing.

> There is no “data” about vaccines link to autism.

Vaccine use and autism rates are pretty well correlated. In no way does that imply causation and I agree that RFK leans too heavily into thinking that link exists, but it is also the case that we don't have much good scientific data there either way.

Studies for vaccine safety generally don't follow a timeline necessary to pick up links to autism or similar conditions that either take years to develop, or show up one generation down. That isn't unreasonable, the number of confounding factors there would be next to impossible to isolate over such a long time. That still leaves us with little more than modelling and epidemiology to either prove or disprove the link though, at least as I read that the argument couldn't be settled either way.
From our perspective, the light in the void moves faster than it does here. But so do clocks, so someone in the void would measure their light moving at the same speed as we measure our light moving here.
Except they are and they do. The quoted "air safety expert" in the BBC article essentially says the landing was "as good as can be" and that most or all of the people onboard would have survived if the localizer berm wasn't present.
It's the point where light pressure can blow off the outer layers of a star

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington_luminosity

Objects that pulse like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta_Carinae

can evade it and there are other ways too.

When it comes to super-massive black holes there is the question of how quickly stuff can even get close enough to the black hole to get into the accretion disk.

500M years is a long time for the kind of large star that becomes a black hole (blows up in 10M years or so), but if one black hole is going to merge with another black hole and that is going to merge with another black hole and so on there is no Eddington limit (no EM radiation!) but rather the even slower process of shedding angular momentum via gravitational radiation. (One highlight of grad school was the colloquium talk where we got to hear the signal from two black holes colliding almost 20 years before it was detected for real)

I hope JWST sees

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_population#Population_...

Note those Pop 3 stars have a higher Eddington limit because they've got hardly any "metal" in them which means light interacts with them differently, although astronomers have the strange (to me) conventional that anything heavier than Helium is a metal which includes, say, oxygen. (As a cond-mat PhD I think a metal is something that has free electrons, which could be one of those elements towards the left side of the periodic table or could be a doped semiconductor or polymer like polyaniline)

Arnoud Engelfriet's blog about Dutch IT law (in Dutch).
For me, when I switched to Linux, I had to start thinking out of the box. Microsoft's OS and Adobe's Cloud are hostile environments that are designed to lock you into a ecosystem that isn't in your best interest. As people start figuring this out, and have had enough, like I finally did one day, more and more people are going to look to alternatives.

I dropped Adobe and Windows[0] because of this. I can do this because I am tech savvy, but as more technically inclined people do this, it creates incentives to make it easier for the rest.

The FDA did skip what they thought was required for vaccines though. The EUA and safety/efficacy studies done were extremely rushed and pretty damn sloppy, and that doesn't even touch on whether issues with the data were buries by pharmaceutical companies or regulators at the time.
To continue your idiom, it's not a red herring, it's the elephant in the room.

Seriously, I think the incident it's a hard lesson for airport designer and ICAO. For better civil aviation safety, the next airport runway should have ample room for safer aircraft landing without landing gears. Previously there's no real-time aircraft tracking requirement for passenger aircraft only for cargo, but after MH370 it's mandatory now and even ICAO acknowledged this very reason for the new regulations introduction.
the biggest reason not to use LLMs is the customer noncompete clauses where they’re learning from the conversations but you agree not to “develop models that compete” —

makes me think everyone using OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini API, Mistral, Copilot, Perplexity, etc is dumb or addicted to short term benefits while totally ignoring the long term consequences of paying to train your own replacement while agreeing not to compete
Engineer's Codex is great: https://read.engineerscodex.com/
You don’t need a mechanism to point out a fact contradicts an assumption, eg, our measurements show non-uniform mass at virtually all scales (including billions of light years). There simply is no observable scale with uniform mass.

Obviously there’s some mechanism which causes that, but the mere existence of multi-billion light year structures invalidates the modeling assumption — that assumption doesn’t correspond to reality.

I'm not sure what that shows though. There are many reasons one party may not voice distrust in the FDA or a particular scientist.

It is worth pointing out that plenty of Democrats, and I'll stick with party leadership here, spoke poorly of scientists who broke ranks and didn't follow the pushed narrative. The debate over where the virus came from is a great example, a small number of scientists publicly raised concerns that it was a lab leak and everyone from party leadership to Fauci, the CDC, and the FDA attempted to discredit those individuals with direct statements and pressure on media organizations to do the same.

How does this site make sense?

It lists the "Turing test" as "original" at greater than 50% and the the AI that "beat" it at 46%.

At that point I just stopped scrolling.
Occam's razor: the wall is most probably the cause of the unnecessary explosion that killed 179 people. The airport built ILS, or localizer, on unnecessarily over-engineered concrete structure where there shouldn't have been any obstruction. The ILS are supposed to be built on level surface or "frangile" structure so they can be easily destroyed when there is an overrun. There are reportedly at least 4 other airports with such obstructions in South Korea -- at Yeosu, it's 4 meters high (also concrete foundation)[1].

<strikethrough>There was a similar accident in Hiroshima, Japan several years ago: Airbus A320-200 skidded past the end of the runway at similar speed and struck down ILS. It eventually stopped -- damaged the airplane but no fatality.</strikethrough>

Back in the day it used to be the way to do it. Web servers would serve example.com/foo/index.html when visiting example.com/foo/ and it was the easy way of not having example.com/foo.html as your URL.

Later on Web servers made it easier to load foo.html for example.com/foo, but that wasn't always the case.

It's been a couple of decades since I had to do it, but at least that's my memory on why I've been doing this since forever (including on newer websites, which is admittedly a mistake).
Sure, it's just that sometimes when people talk abou "ethical" dating and dating apps they are mostly talking about limiting the top guys from taking most of the women or keeping most of the women busy. Usualy via forced monogamy or some sort of forced "fair play". I'm of the opinion that top guys should have a bigger piece of the pie than the avg dude but there should be a limit, something in-between "winner takes all" and monogamy.
Also I had to finally come to the conclusion that if I wanted control over my own house, I'm going to have to make sacrifices. Like Games with anti-cheat that don't work on Linux right now. More and more games with anti-cheat are starting to see the benefits of Linux. So I started letting go of products that don't let me use them the way I want to. It took some discipline, but my life is more stress free now. Now some of the games that require anti-cheat that were not playable on Linux 2 years ago have migrated their anti-cheat to steam's implementation.
That's just a semantic game. It's a product. Services are products. Bank loans are products. Devices sold for narrower end goals than general purpose computing are still products. Cable TV boxes are products.

For enterprise IT, it's got some potential. Devices users can't muck with facilitate standard operating environments, hot desks, and similar practices that are already user hostile. In that setting, there's no big deal here. It's even got the chance to be less awfully intrusive than existing SOE software.

It's also, IMO, a bit of a leveraging of a monopoly position to crowd out those SOE vendors. Microsoft's the only one who can make this device; anyone else is stuck at best making a browser-only thin client and hoping 365 works well on it for long enough to recoup R&D costs and make bank on top. Not a fan of SOE vendors, but not a fan of monopoly control either.
It might not have been slowing down much in that time due to a thing called Ground Effect. Since the wheels weren't down, the flat body of the bottom of the aircraft + wings would have actually reduced drag and cushioned the plane for a bit, causing it to not slow down as much as you would assume.
You're remembering incorrectly. Schwarzenegger, while elected governor of California, never made a run at the White House. As the other poster noted, Schwarzenegger couldn't do that even if he wanted to.

None of these people are calling for not investigating the other factors.
the Turing test is scored by how often an interrogator can determine if they are talking to a machine or a human. It’s perhaps a confusing way to show it, and leaves out a lot of important information about the result they are citing, but they are saying before the interrogator did better than chance and after gpt the interrogator guesses right slightly worse than chance.
RFK was a primary nominee along with other Democrats that wanted to challenge Biden for the spot. RFK absolutely tried to get on the ballot as a Democrat by registering as a candidate with the party, but he couldn't get on the ballot when the party aligned behind Biden.

I do remember that Trump skipped the primaries and I also take issue with that. If the Republican party had any backbone they would have made clear that only candidates taking part in the primary could be on the party's primary ballots.

We had a democratic election with two candidates that took no part in primaries. Though not unprecedented in US history, its a huge problem in my book.
Presumably it means that the human detected the AI correctly less than 50% of the time, averaged over a repeated number of experiments.
I read that as the pass mark being able to identify human vs machine more than 50% of the time. At 50% it's no better than randomly guessing.

What a lame comment. This isn't how aviation safety is managed. You expect planes to land halfway down the runway at high speed and out of control. It's an eventual certainty.
