So the solution is "infinite money" or "shut most of them down".

I agree that both will solve the staffing problem, but neither seem particularly practical.

I agree, I mean that it is almost impossible not to fail at from the child’s perspective.

I blame the structure of society for this. When kid wants to spend time with animals, friends and just be in nature - we can only offer more classes and screens.
This is kind of remarkable because it means a nearly-unhinged celebrity may have single handedly made a significant contribution to the public health.

Of course, what we're really talking about is destigmatization. In the US the initial public response was ostracization, followed by a governmental response doubting if HIV even was a real medical concern

More recently, don't forget them being completely silent when Breonna Taylor was summarily executed for Kenneth Walker daring to exercise his second amendment right of home defense in the middle of the night. When this movement says "freedom", they mean merely for themselves to do whatever they please - not as a universal societal principle.
I don't think you meant it but I don't like how you phrased it. That in the past if you were to have ADHD, you'd be an artist or a rebel and so on, implying that it is something cool. And that nowadays it's just addiction to stimulants.

I know of quite few colleagues and friends with ADHD who need stimulants to get anything done at all, even to get out from their bed. Who were treated unsuccessfully for anxiety, depression, when all their symptoms vanished after getting on meds.

ADHD not to everyone is something quirky, to some people it can be utterly debilitating and devastating condition.
Government is there to protect the people from corporate and foreign control. It's one of the main jobs it does. When I was a kid you couldn't breathe the air in LA, now you can. When I was a kid you could believe the news, now you cannot. Your philosophy of 'Government vs People' is faulty as it is missing those other influences. We will see soon if a smaller, less effective US government is better for the citizens. I have a strong feeling we're not going to like what we find out.
I agree with your point but in this parent discussion doesn't make sense just throw "they are way richer than Z person"

Tho in the Maduro sense, which is a dictator that just make sense while he is in power, it's not actually own by him.
>So... What's up? Was that all a myth all along?

Yes. As with so many other aspects of American mythology, the premise that the US is immune to tyranny was always self-serving nonsense.

The US was supposed to have numerous safeguards in place to ensure tyranny was impossible:

1) That all politicans would be elite gentry of upstanding moral character, thoroughly vetted by the self-interest of an educated populace. It turns out all of our politicans are venal sociopaths lacking in any moral character but only differing in the brazen scope of their corruption, and the voting public gets their news from TikTok and mostly just votes based on entertainment value. Womp womp.

2) That the government would be composed of three branches, each independent and equal in power, and each of which would keep the others in check, and the aggregation of power by any single branch would be impossible. It turns out party loyalty, ideology and graft transcends those barriers and renders them obsolete. Womp womp.

3) That if all else fails, America's "well-regulated militia" would rise up en masse and water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. This safeguard is so important, so existentially vital that any externalities due to gun violence - mass shootings and the like - are considered a cost well worth paying. Turns out the people with the guns voted for the tyrants. Womp womp.

The system created by the founding fathers, assumed by many Americans to have been directly inspired by God and superior to all other forms of government, including all other forms of democracy, has critically failed at all levels to do the one thing is was supposed to do.
My mother suffers from borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. My father is textbook narcissistic personality disorder. It’s easy to say my childhood wasn’t easy, but in a strange way. Along the way, I developed BPD symptoms impressed on me by my parents, suffered hospitalization multiple times, and ended up going through DBT.

I am 24 now and I lucked out far better than my peers. I have a career in software, a loving partner of 6 years (which I definitely traumatized multiple times), and am even in grad school! For me, the biggest issues I face from a societal perspective are not the BPD symptoms, mostly regressed and which usually make me alluring to people, but the ADHD symptoms I developed along with BPD. I’ve read that these are often comorbid and that tracks with what you are saying because a BPD parent and BPD is trauma.

Weed and shrooms also helped me get better. Not with the ADHD which definitely gets much worse on weed, but with the BPD symptoms. It made me slow down and let me get in touch with my empathy long repressed. I believe I was 19 when I first smoked and it’s been a journey but trending upward.

Fun BPD story: by the time I was 18, I had over 60 sexual partners. I was a dorky guy who played video games over 8 hours a day every day.

From the article:

> Instead, they relied on discipline as the only solution: withholding rights, denying privileges, banning books outside the curriculum because they "caused inattention," cutting off the internet, locking TV channels with passwords, and limiting socialization during study time.

I'm perfectly inclined here to agree with the author in blaming the parents for putting the child in a borderline abusive environment because they were unable to look outside their own views for the sake of their child.

This paper was posted in December and somehow it completely ignores o1 model, which was specifically optimized for reasoning.
(Disclaimer: not discussing the author here. These are the thoughts based on personal experiences, resurfaced as the result of reading the post)

Planning for the past (what if my parents would do things differently?) is a sign of depression (not clinical advice). Blaming the parents is not productive and doesn't lead to solutions to the problems at hand.

For me, taking responsibility on deciding what needs to be done, how to get better at doing what needs to be done and how to get better at getting better, shifted the focus significantly.
My experience working in offices has always been that almost everybody was wearing headphones and there wasn't much talking, except when everybody went to a conference room to meet (and half of them were fiddling on their laptops/phones).

Having not seen big advantages of collocating everybody (usually against their will and with the heavy burden of commuting), I can only attribute shadow reasons for RTO policies everywhere.
I believe just Flint, Saginaw, Lansing and Kalamazoo were consolidated when I last looked in 2022. For people who are unaware, Kalamazoo has one of the most substantial aviation programs in the country in town at WMU so centralizing there with a large staff is a great opportunity to cross train.

It's even okay to hardcode them into code (not a config/json file). Depending on the build pipeline this is similar to preprocessor flags, and the code will be removed during build.

It might be enough to test new features with a limited audience (beta build, test deployments for stakeholders/qa).

If done correctly this solution can be easily extended to use a feature flag management tool, or a config file.

PS: removing new features during build/tree-shaking/etc adds some additional security. In some cases even disabled features could pose a security risk. Disabled features are often not perfectly tested yet.
Sure, they just used a different title.

Where are the CDC people growing a spine to stand up to this? This is obviously bad.

The reason why bullies only understand 1 language (force) is exactly why counter-bullies who also speak that language are needed. And these are (usually) men (and some smaller percentage of women). (I'm seriously not trying to genderize this. I'm speaking of "fighting/disobeying/confronting energy" instead of "nurturing/complying/keeping-copacetic energy". Anyone who's good at that, should exercise it.)

The author focuses on their experience as a teen with ADHD, but having been a parent of three teenagers, and having been a teenager myself, I think that the educational system is generally asking something of teenagers that they (the teenagers) can't yet provide.

But that is minor compared to how badly some classes are taught. Every time I've helped one of my children with a class in which they were genuinely struggling I realized that the instructor was not capable of teaching the material (usually because they assumed the students already knew what they were talking about).
I don’t disagree with your implication, but let’s be honest that the incidence of totally novel, urgent, life-or-death situations is a lot lower in education than air traffic control. At least outside the US.

I am indeed tired of them, but as retired engineer I have the luxury of living (in my imagination) in the pre-AI world. Being a programmer today is like being someone in the early 20th century who enjoyed the craft and mastery of being a cold type typesetter. You could continue to do letterpress printing even as wave after wave of new technologies came along, but something which was necessary and state of the art was transformed into either a boutique small business or a quaint hobby, like calligraphy.

As a parent of kids with ADHD I've come to believe that it is disabling in two ways: an actual deficit in attention that makes it more difficult to complete tasks AND an incompatibility with an inflexible society.

I see both of these in my kids' experience at school:

The true deficit can be seen in inability to complete schoolwork on time. Sure, homework is artificial, but I have no doubt the same difficulties would apply to - say - planting and harvesting crops on a schedule

The societal incompatibility is seen in relatively benign "behavior issues" like difficulty sitting still. The idea that children should sit at attention for hours seems bizarre unless you accept that school is training an obedient factory/cubical workforce.
I think it speaks to the lack of competition in the space that the enormous companies have realized they can shed a lot of jobs and coast and they're still unassailable.

Seriously. This is one of those cases where rolling your own really does make sense. Flags in a DB table, flags in a json file, all super simple to build and maintain, and 100x faster and more reliable than making the critical paths of your application's request cycle depend on an external provider.
> build-vs-buy

Roll your own. Seriously.

Feature flags are such an easy thing that there should be a robust and completely open source offering not tied to B2B SaaS. Until then, do it in house.

My team built a five nines feature flag system that handled 200k QPS from thousands of services, active-active, local client caching, a robust predicate DSL for matching various conditions, percent rollout, control plane, ACLs, history, everything. It was super robust and took half an engineer to maintain.

We ultimately got roped into the "build vs buy" / "anti-weirdware" crosshairs from above. Being tasked with migrating to LaunchDarkly caused more outages, more headache, and more engineering hours spent. We were submitting fixes to LaunchDarkly's code, fixing the various language client integrations, and writing our own Ruby batching and multiprocessing. And they charged us way more for the pleasure.

Huge failure of management.

I've been out of this space for some years now, but someone should "Envoy" this whole problem and be done with it. One service, optional sidecars, all the language integrations. Durable failure and recovery behavior. Solid UX. This shouldn't be something you pay for. It should be a core competency and part of your main tooling.

I know practically nothing about this thing. I have no idea if it's enabled, disabled, or what it even does. Have Apple just intentionally been quiet about it because they think it's going to flop, or have their marketing department given up? If it's that groundbreaking I would expect them to be shouting from the rooftops about it.
> using an (often expensive) feature flags as a service platform

I have no idea why anyone would actually do that in real life. Feature flags are something so trivial that you can implement them from scratch in a few hours, tops — and that includes some management UI.
Glad to hear this. I’m planning to use Vault in a new project that has sensitive security concerns. I liked Hashicorp’s concept of “encryption as a service” as a way of protecting engineering teams from cryptographic footguns.

The problem is that they are unlikely to run on hydrogen either. Hydrogen requires heavy storage containers that make it inappropriate for flight (among other uses.) We're much better off going to ammonia or some other e-fuel.
> As a neuroatypical parent of a neuroatypical children, I still have to guide them understanding the structures and expectations of society, and I see often time that she resents me for it, as the autor resent their upbringing.

I think where a lot of parents go wrong is representing things as "because I said so" when in fact, there is a very good reason for what the parent is doing and explaining that reason to the child would both reduce resentment and be more valuable than the discipline being given. And the corollary to that is, if you can't explain to your child why you're doing something they don't like, maybe what you're doing isn't actually good parenting.

"Society expects this, society is probably wrong and it isn't fair, but it's not within our immediate capability to change it so we have to find ways to function around society's expectations at the current time" is a hugely valuable lesson to teach kids.

Without this explanation, your kid just has to come up with their own explanation for why you're doing what you're doing, and a lot of the time they're just going to conclude that you're wrong or you're just being mean, which unfortunately is sometimes true with some parents (I'm not saying it's true of you).

And sometimes, with the explanation, you're still going to be wrong, and you may never figure that out what you did wrong. But at least if you've explained why you did what you did, your child understands that so when they begin the process of realizing their parents aren't perfect they have some reason to empathize for the mistakes you made.
Yea, o3-mini was a massive step down from Sonnet for coding tasks.

R1 is my cost effective programmer. Sonnet is my hard problem model still.
Damn, missed this one.

ITs not so much that they aren’t working, more that 2 forces work if let alone for enough time.

1) Creation of a private propaganda arm for a party (Fox/ Dailymail etc.)
1.1) Sub point media is screwed due to the need to earn income from ads, resulting in them beaming ever increasing levels of pain and anger into everyone’s house,

2) Winning is all that matters politicking. Repubs gave up on bipartisanship, and would trash their own projects if it meant showing the dems as reliable and credible.

With these two forces, you can have a story created - creationism for example, and then a party member can go to congress / senate, point to the news article, and treat it as if its a real issue.

This was you create a cheaper, more efficient political system that has no need to spend on research, facts, or analysis.

This is the free money glitch that underpins the success of the Repub party.

The point of free speech was to enable the exchange of ideas in the pursuit of truth. But if you take over the market place, create one brand of truth, and are responsible for certifying its true - well thats a broken market.
While interviewing candidates for a critical role in my organization, the recruiter mentioned that she is finding it hard to get good candidates who want to come to office. And yet, management stuck to "minimum 3 days from office" rule. We are also "gently reminded" often and another rule about showing your face on video.

My previous team lead was a super smart guy and pleasant to work with, in the 1.5 years that I worked with him, I saw him once on camera. It didn't matter to him or me to see each other's face. The only people it seems to matter are the suits, who go around nitpicking everything making life miserable for everyone. Sure, it is nice to have human connection and seeing people on camera helps, but if someone doesn't want to be on camera, why push them? The sarcasm ("someone is having a bad hair day"), the threats ("camera or else...") - it just reeks of pettiness and stupidity.

None of this makes any sense. My job is to write code, I am not a model for toothpaste or eyelashes or lipstick or razor or whatever. Just leave me alone so I can do the tasks that I was hired for.

I don't think COVID changed the work culture much, except exposing some corporate lies ("you gotta haul your ass to the office to be effective" etc). The more we think things are changing, the more they are staying the same.

While I do think there is an incentive to scale up physical infrastructure, there is a lot of "AI Washing" happening in the space, with bog standard energy projects being justified for "AI Scaling", especially because ESG as a investment category is dead, and a lot of energy investments would be bucketed under the ESG asset class.

That comment wasn't targeted at you. I just find AI washing arguments laughable sometimes. It's very similar to the ambulance chasing and scare tactics that is a major part of Cybersecurity GTM.
