It's not that I don't enjoy taking notes - I liked to take notes, distill knowledge, make "cheatsheets" outside of class. To this day I still take countless notes when I learn new …

If you want to optimize traffic throughput you can replace numerous intersections with roundabouts. Then everyone can go when it's "clearly safe to go", not just those who are turn…

Of course it's different in the countryside but we're talking about cities, that's where these changes are taking place, and most 80 year olds shouldn't be driving cars in cities o…

Thanks, this seems to confirm my train of thought. To lose coverage the attack had to exploit that particular vulnerability and a patch had to have been available for over 3 weeks.…

> Over the last few years insurers have aggressively been adding "no vulnerability patch, no claim" exclusion clauses. If you take an even closer look- what exactly does that mean?…

> There are a lot of things that are bugs, but cannot be exploited in a standard configuration And this describes the vast majority of CVEs you see when you scan your dependencies.…

Of course you learn more if you retype material than if you do nothing, but it's still a waste of time, comparatively speaking, because there are much better ways of engaging with …

Steps to patch a hallucinated CVE: git stash -m "sigh" git commit --allow-empty -m "Patch: CVE-2026-51302" git stash pop

I've run out of patience because it's always the same bad faith arguments, and because you feel entitled to tell other people what to do with their own bodies. https://news.ycombin…

Not this shit again. I don't care whether you call it a cure, a treatment leading to complete improvement of all symptoms, a therapy that rids them of their problems, or a magic ha…

> Does being autistic decrease your chances of finding a partner? Yes, absolutely. A tiny minority of people with autism are married. The majority are unemployed. Suicidal ideation…

> It’s up to each one individually to decide how much they want to be part of this “normal” or whether they prefer to be “disordered” even if it comes with certain limitations. I c…

Are you reading anything I say? > I'm familiar with the history behind it and I'm on high alert when someone ventures into eugenics

That's a philosophical question that doesn't help people who are suffering. People are alive here and now. Some people will want a cure regardless. And we'll never have a society t…

Hooray, natural language is often ambiguous and context matters. While that may be one way of interpreting my comment it's not the only one. I've already clarified what I meant so …

No it doesn't explain the animosity because nobody is forcing you to take the cure, but there are people who desperately want a cure.

There's nothing wrong with being autistic, that's not my assumption and I don't want to "fix" anyone. You're preaching to the choir about the bigots and you're right to be skeptica…

And my words in no way implied that those were equal, or that autism was necessarily an illness or a disability. People often make those arguments and I'm not one of them. You're a…

If you try to reformulate that snarky one-liner that into a good faith argument you'll see how ridiculous it sounds. Yes, actually we should have treatments and cures available for…

It was written fine. ASD is a disorder which was the first item on that list. You could make the same type of argument about disabilities (e.g. deafness) and someone pointed out th…

I agree up until this point: > The idea of attempting to engineer the removal of a class of people from society-- people with unique strengths which are necessary for the functioni…

That's interesting, I didn't know about that!

I'm well aware and I don't have a problem with you or anyone else living life the way you want. This doesn't explain animosity towards treatment/cure research.

I know they're not synonymous, that's why I used all 3 and not just one.
