I don't think a to-do app that could effectively help ADHDers ever existed. Never heard of one, probably never will. If such a tool exists you will def see it in r/ADHD or similar communities. When you have no competitor in a market probably the problem is the market. I don't think a niche market for ADHD todo apps exists. Because the problem is not solvable by a todo app. Just like you can't effectively help austic people by offering social manner courses.
They define it in the same file https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/48ff99bb...

> An agent is an AI model configured with instructions, tools, guardrails, handoffs and more.

Agents can hand off to other agents, but even the hand-off is decided by the agent itself, not a pre-defined orchestration.
> Housing is consumed as you live in a place, the wear and tear that occurs.

the building is consumed. But housing is more than just the building - the location is also part of said "housing". Location doesn't get "consumed". And in fact, it is the location that appreciates (while the building itself does depreciate over time).

The investment is not in the building (tho you do pay for it - minus the depreciated portion i suppose, if you're a savvy buyer). It is in the location.
> Because honestly it feels silly that point-and-shoots still exist in 2025; you'd think they'd have gone the way of the mp3 player.

It's a shame there aren't more dedicated MP3 players really. Every so often I run into people looking for one and often their options are very limited. Just having the ability to listen to music without someone logging and/or tracking what you listen to, when, and how often is becoming harder to attain. It's also nice to have a dedicated player when you listen to music often because it saves your battery for other things.

Today there are still plenty of reasons for simple digital cameras and even film cameras. I certainly hope they continue to remain available, even if many people are happy using whatever their phones give them.
What they are showing is that if wage growth is stagnant across all levels, people can’t afford to pay more for a home. So prices don’t rise or at least not nearly as much. This is a recipe for keeping us all poor as a means to control housing costs.

On the other hand, if wages rise, but supply expands, home prices remain relatively decoupled from wage growth. This is the situation we want, but which zoning prevents.

The old Alfred Twu cartoon captures the current dynamic of rising wages and rising home prices very well:

Yeah, I'm not an Elon fan, the guy is incapable of comprehending that he's overextended his abilities, but that has little if anything to do with starship. The thing will blow up, until one day we notice that it hasn't in a while, and then there will be a useful heavy launch platform.
An absolute requirement in Japan if you are more than a few minutes late in Japan. A thirty minute delay during morning rush hour used to have train staff with a stack of papers handing them out to everyone going out of the gate kiosk. I used to get them after any delay at all on my commute.

I assume now annoying bosses can check online, but it's Japan so an old person in charge might ask for the paper slip as well just in case you overslept when you were in a nearby business hotel after a rather awful stint of over time the night before.
How is any law to be enforced? Most actions governed by law don't take place via such a visible and formal mechanism, and yet laws are written about them anyway!

(Also, when I spoke of a "reason to think it might be illegal", I had in mind, like, some sort of citation to a law or regulation or decision (or summary of such) that would indicate that, rather than, like, an inference about what the law would have to be in order to make other laws more easily enforceable...)
It would not be. The Social Security Trust Fund is called that because money is held in trust for the person who paid into it.

It’s the same concept as a trust, but essentially at scale for multiple parties.
People buy houses by taking loans with high interest. Next year, the house they own increase in valuation equal to the amount they paid interest.

House owner is happy - their asset has increased in value.
Bank is happy. They got the money.
City is happy. They got their taxes for the higher valuation of the house.

After sometime,
The middle-class becomes lower class and moves to rent.
The lower class becomes homeless as they cannot afford the rent.

The cycle repeats.

Reminds me when I was Amazon, one of our tablets was codenamed Thor. We could ask the device what it's codename was and we special cases some functionality for the tablet we built. But it was the same code we used for the android app and it turned out some other tablet manufacturer used the codename Thor and all of a sudden the code was super broken on that device.

Sounds an awful lot like Pavlok. If you have the willpower to hit the shock yourself device, why don't you have the willpower to not do the action that merits shocking yourself?

If you can manage your attention/motivation well enough to make detailed to do lists, why can't that be applied to the urgent task at hand, to completion.

If you do the ADHD questionnaire one of the major indicators is how many projects are 99% complete.

A TODO list just catalogues these 99% complete problems until they become cognitively crushing to think about resulting in a need to escape/avoid the list, resulting in eventual burnout.

> time until a deadline

This is stress based motivation, and stress tolerance is a depletable resource that once depleted results in devastation.

I am suspicious of anything mental health that doesn't market itself as evidence based. Do you have any evidential basis behind the TODO app? Are any of your ideas evidence informed?

Why not read through several ADHD help/workbooks or read through treatment protocols and try to app-ify them?

Not quite. "The central idea behind defer is that, unlike its Go counterpart, defer in C is lexically bound, or “translation-time” only, or “statically scoped”"

Defer in Go puts the deferred action on a run time to-do list that's processed at function exit. You can queue up deferred actions from a loop in Go. Not in this proposal for C.

What happens in this C proposal if you put a defer request inside a loop? Is it a compile time error, do they somehow to try to give it meaningful semantics, or is it undefined behavior?

I did an internship where I had to write fake network devices to test some server platform firmware configuration. I spent a bunch of time digging around the core PCIe code and Linux network stack. The first few weeks were a bit overwhelming but by the end of the internship I was really impressed with how clean and relatively understandable the interactions between userland, kernel space, and hardware operations were. It really made me aware about the importance of deliberately designed API surfaces that are critical to millions of users.

I also enjoy C programming, and it was interesting to see how the developers built out such a complex system without the more friendly programming language structures that I was first exposed to in school (mostly C++ and Java).

I've explained this before but the players involved don't really care. The bank just wants to make sure they aren't on the hook for a worthless shack. If the appraisal comes back inflated by 10-20% that's fine. The goal is to prevent loaning $1.4m against a house worth $700k.

Exactly, it is an artifact of the definition of wealth. If a family needs a house to live whether that goes up or down is irrelevant for them.

It will be useful wealth once they die or they are forced to sell and move out to the countryside in their old age. Available income or what can be liquidated without affecting once life is actual rich peoples wealth.

Counterpoint, my father is very IT literate, at least he was. Managed IT for a large government organisation in Europe, taught me code. Has done his best to keep up over the years.

He's completely useless these days, particularly around social media, but increasingly around everything else. I worry about him.

It's difficult to imagine what it would look like, but I'm increasingly of the opinion the best way forward is a hard break with tech. Minimal engagement outside of what's needed for the daily basics.

It's transparently wrecking our brains and societies. We can't build a better Internet, we need to escape it.
This works if you know what each callee performs, which you frequently don't when you're visiting a new codebase (it may have an unknown function you have to read to know, functionality not relevant to your problem, or you may have to analyze two or more functions in the context of each other to understand a bug).

>busybox

Apples vs. oranges. Busybox is a suite of minimal tools for low-resource systems, lack of QoL features you wouldn't need in such an environment is its selling point. Besides you won't see anyone claiming individual busybox tools can be used in shell scripts just fine.

It's easier to admit ripgrep is rather a supplementary tool that is incompatible with the tooling your typical Unix-like operating system provides out of the box than a "modern replacement" for grep and move on.

From the article:

> The BG29 chips will be available in 5 mm × 5 mm QFN and 2.6 mm × 2.8 mm WLCSP form factors

That "wireless oral health monitor" example is a concept from Lura Health[1] that integrates a marginally smaller BG27 (2.3mm x 2.6mm WLCSP)[2].

Azure DevOps is nearly identical, but with slightly different zoo of issues that are less well documented in public sources.

It also has the problem of not having a local dev runner for actions. The "inner loop" is atrociously slow and involves spamming your colleagues with "build failed" about a thousand times, whether you like it or not.

IMHO, a future DevOps runner system must be an open-source, local-first. Anything else is madness.

Right now we're in the "mainframe era" of DevOps, where we edit text files in baroque formats with virtually no tooling assistance, "submit" that to a proprietary batch system on a remote server that puts it into a queue... then come back after our coffee to read through the log printout.

I should buy a dot matrix printer to really immerse myself into the paradigm.
The plainly explained point is that democratic backsliding is gradual. The road to 20 million dead isn't someone suddenly declaring "we are the baddies", then a week later they start digging the mass graves.

If someone appears with invalid paperwork to a border crossing you simply turn them away, or in the case of international flights you keep them in a room for a couple of hours and send them back next flight home. You ban her for X years.

She was in some kind of kafkaesque simulacrum of a legal system with "constitutional free zones" and for-profit "detention" centers. Nobody knew anything inside or outside, only with a considerable amount of resources and luck they we are able to find her in the system. This is closer to the stories of my family during a dictatorship, moving earth and heaven to find close ones in jail when initially the police "didn't know anything about that". They were lucky, a lot of people never found their loved ones.

Sure, the US is not there (yet), but even then she could've been there 10 months or more there if she wasn't Canadian or wealthy.

So no, it's not a "snarky ideological barb" it's a good point that doesn't meet your aesthetic standards, at most the "skeptics like you" part makes it a bit too personal. Your strawman about his point seems worse imo.
Baloney. Greenpeace got what it deserved. I loved the fact that the punitive damages were doubled by the jury. To see them wreak violence and destruction and then whine about the freedom of protest being lost is hysterical. The jury of those harmed by their actions saw through everything and gave them what they deserved.
> The LLM knows nothing about your requirements. When you ask it to do something without specifying all of the constraints, it will fill in all the blanks with the most probable answers from the universe of its training set. Maybe this is fine. But if you need something more custom, it’s up to you to actually tell the LLM about it.

It answers the second question.
Also an Earthly casualty here. Now having to look at Dagger.
A lot of interesting information is not what I think many people really want. They don't seem to want the mundane facts, they don't seem to care about other countries, they seem to want to find salacious details that confirm conspiracy theories, details that would make headlines and be able to use for clickbait titles to further engagement. Having to trawl through lots of data to find anything of use is beyond most peoples attention span in my experience.

What does this return?

int x = 1;
defer x = 2;

> overconfidence is the problem.

The problem is a bit deeper than that, because what we perceive as "confidence" is itself also an illusion.

The (real) algorithm takes documents and makes them longer, and some humans configured a document that looks like a conversation between "User" and "AssistantBot", and they also wrote some code to act-out things that look like dialogue for one of the characters. The (real) trait of confidence involves next-token statistics.

In contrast, the character named AssistantBot is "overconfident" in exactly the same sense that a character named Count Dracula is "immortal", "brooding", or "fearful" of garlic, crucifixes, and sunlight. Fictional traits we perceive on fictional characters from reading text.

Yes, we can set up a script where the narrator periodically re-describes AssistantBot as careful and cautious, and that might help a bit with stopping humans from over-trusting the story they are being read. But trying to ensure logical conclusions arise from cautious reasoning is... well, indirect at best, much like trying to make it better at math by narrating "AssistantBot was good at math and diligent at checking the numbers."

> Hallucinating

P.S.: "Hallucinations" and prompt-injection are non-ironic examples of "it's not a bug, it's a feature". There's no minor magic incantation that'll permanently banish them without damaging how it all works.
These are all real pains, author definitely has done a lot of work in Github Actions; respect. I'm sure these notes will save a lot of people a lot of frustration in the future, since Github Actions isn't going away --- it's too damn convenient.

> What benefit would phone manufacturers have from their devices being trackable via Bluetooth

In Google's case, they use bluetooth to track the location of android users and the bluetooth devices near them. In addition to data collection, it helps their "Find my Device" network. I suspect Apple's system also uses bluetooth to identify nearby apple devices and beacons.

Obviously phone manufactures are primarily self-interested, but part of that also means offering extensive data collection opportunities to third parties such as app and accessory developers to attract people to their platform.

> Also, I'd love to see an answer to my original question: How exactly do you track a stock iPhone or Pixel with Bluetooth enabled?

While I don't have a pixel or an iphone, it does appear that there are ways to passively track these devices via bluetooth:

The reporting on this is quite worrying I would say. Are all journals catering to Trump and Musk now ?

"A separate report by Bloomberg said X raised nearly $1 billion in new equity from investors – with Musk himself participating in the financing round."

This is the key information - he basically set the price himself for ... himself.
some engineers really struggle with making backwards compatible changes. they probably have a lot of dependencies across their service landscape (doubly/triply so in orgs that have gone through acquisitions/mergers).

it's pretty classic... you have the same problem with other architectures too, whether it's a monolith, event driven, SOA, distributed monolith, etc... bad design and ill defined dependencies have literally nothing to do with micro services anymore than any other architecture.

blaming some specific architecture pattern for bad design is silly. bad design is bad design. lack of the ability to evolve a system over time is bad design, it has nothing to do with the architecture necessarily.

that being said, I do generally dislike microservices personally, for large complex systems anyway; you end up with piles and piles of HTTPS/JSON/JWT overhead.

using any kind of architecture pattern can of course have these problems, to be fair... it's just more prevalent with microservices because it becomes a catch all universal tool, just add another "microservice".

before long you have competing services that have the same purpose just because people can't evolve systems in place. worse are saga patterns and phased commits, etc...

there's an XKCD for that I'm sure, the one about standards would fit.

anyway, I appreciate the points in the article that gesture towards Conway's law or inverse Conway maneuver; it's best when your org/team/project structure align w/ architecture, and vice versa. architecture isn't just about software and deployments, it's also about process, alignment, and evolution.
Yes, but said model contradicts the typical understanding of dark energy. So I think the takeaway is not that 'this new model is how the universe works', but rather that 'our typical understanding of dark energy is inconsistent with what we are observing.'

OK, assume some old lady currently owns a house if SF that would cost $1M to buy. She bought it, say, 50 years ago, say, for $50k. It's an impressive 20x ROI, no doubt.

But does it make this old lady wealthy, if she is not selling her house and moving to Arkansas, where $1M would go much farther than in SF? May it be that she's struggling with her day-to-day expenses in SF?
