> Personally, medication helps me keep certain negative thoughts and resistance to doing things, but it does not help with longer arc change in executive functioning like planning or strategy. It just removes some barriers to focus on _a_ task, whatever is in front of me and I can do it. The only thing that really worked for executive function improvemement is meditation for 45 mins a day. I believe that also puts the brain waves in a different state. Which is why I've been interested in brain activity tracking and why this article is interesting too.

What are your actual disabilities from ADHD? You mentioned focus, but I was confused by the executive function part

Does make me worry about the competence of scientists that they make that mistake.

I didn't have it in my head at the time but it's just made me think of "the salt path"

People like to admire the author, to see a better version of themselves in the author.... If they find out that image in their head is a lie, they get angy

They left french words in the English vocabulary though I thought?

Nice

It's the other way around, ina desperate attempt to be relevant, Australia has joined in the hype train

> There is already an ecosystem of for-profit social events in European cities (and probably elsewhere) profiting off people's desire to meet up with other human beings when social opportunies have shrunk.

They're called nightclubs and bars lol trust HN to be so insulated from the wider world

He makes good points on statistics but at the base of all of the data, it's just surveys... I know it's not feasible to survey everyone all the time, but I wouldn't make any conclusions off such data

You have a green username, you have no life

> Well, sure, there's no one left to fight once everyone already lost their job and moved to another career

You'd rather people still did old, obsolete jobs?

> we all could live as equals in comfortable, luxurious lifestyles, where robotics, replicators, AI, and automation took care of everyone's needs and wants.

Until one person decides we should change something about this utopia, arguments break out, populations schism, and we're back to fighting over finite resources once again.

Utopias and conflict-free societies are pipedreams

> Open source communities are dying due to AI spam

They're luddites refusing to get with the times

Why is this downvoted?

Surely this is an artefact of the training data?

Hiring a consultant to vibe code isnt the same as a non technical vibe coder, the whole point he's making.

Copying means we can both share in the knowledge, surely everyone on HN wants that right? Share the open source code for the good of everyone?

Hackers used to say "information yearns to be free" now they're saying "that's my information and I don't want you using it"

Probably indicative of America's wider downfall that they've all become so self interested

But it's copying...how is it theft? Your labour WASNT stolen was it?

No actually it's when someone copies that blog post you did about react.js and puts it into a dataset, I'm not sure how they sleep with themselves the absolute monsters

Yeah but if this program can prove unsafe code is safe... Why can't rust compiler do it, and hence, why do we even need unsafe if the compiler can do it.

> Knowing something you’ve learned to live with for life

What have you been living with for life?

> who learned to "stop being autistic" from an outside POV

Sorry but what exactly does this mean?

Apart from when uta frith, a major player in including Asperger's into autism, says people are being over diagnosed.... then screw the science, what do they know?

The parents of severely autistic non verbal children needing round the clock care don't consider it "a normal and beneficial genetic variation".

> Just that I wouldn't treat autism itself as the general problem.

You wouldn't, because you've clearly got it mild.

A lot of people say they struggle in life, and that autism would explain a lot.... What about the very real possibility your simply below average? A lot of people have to be, 49% of the entire planet to be precise, so it's hardly unlikely you couldnt possibly be below average.

> With Verus, however, developers can mathematically prove the safety of their unsafe Rust code, re-establishing machine-checked safety guarantees

Why then does rust even need the unsafe keyword?

That's also not the definition for severe autism, "banging head on wall"

Why doesn't it cure any actual symptoms like not being able to communicate though? The symptoms quote/unquote are behaviour

> Prior to the study, 83% of participants had "severe" autism. Two years later, only 17% were rated as severe, 39% as mild or moderate, and incredibly, 44% were below the cut-off for mild ASD.

It just says they behaved better, that's not recovering from severe autism at all... They didn't magically acquire language from a fecal transplant. Misleading

Have you ever spoke to parents who need to give their severely autistic child 24h care for the rest of their lives?

There's a lot of unsafe code at that level... Rust probably makes it more painful for little gain
