Trying to be the world's first person to be cured from autism. I believe my autism is caused by the shape of my forehead, which puts too much pressure on my muscles. Evidence is here: https://corticalchauvinism.com/2017/11/13/yuval-levental-cra... Also, I have prepared for a potential surgery by getting botox injections in my forehead muscle. So far, my focus at work has dramatically improved: https://corticalchauvin…

In my work I identified roughly 16 major drivers of ASD, but most of them tend to manifest as a GABA/Glutmate imbalance or GABA dysfunction. Lots of people have been cured depending on if their ASD was caused by biological dysfunction - for example I know one who had biontidinase dysfunction so biotin supplementation cured all symptoms. Hopefully you’ve identified the driver of your ASD and it will help you achieve y…

Interesting. I know an autistic person with cerebral folate deficiency who takes medication for it, and it has significantly improved his symptoms. I wouldn't call it a permanent cure, however.

As mentioned, I believe the driver is my facial structure. I know that normally, facial structure is not the cause of a condition, but the muscle tension on my forehead is caused by my facial structure, and I suspect that muscle tension is most likely the cause of the symptoms I face.

I keep a growing library of little one-page javascript apps for illustrating concepts and educating my two boys. Reviewing my commit history for the year, I was pleased to find I've added nearly 20 apps to it in 2017. I wouldn't have been able to build so many 20 years ago, but there's so much code available out there to copy-paste, programming often feels like playing with building blocks. http://ideonexus.github.io…

great work, i was looking for something like this. Thanks for sharing

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I believe Pinboard.in offers these features.

Yes exactly, that's the service that is closer to what I want to build, but it is not open source

I wasn't saying you shouldn't do it, just mentioning so you'll be aware. I think we need something else than Pinboard.

At the end of 2016 I left contracting gig for a full time position to work on helping solve intermittency problem with solar PV power generation through forecasting. With a team of 3 including myself, the only professional software developer, we have launched and run a solar radiation and PV power forecasting/observation API (solcast.com.au) that can provide solar radiation and PV power forecasts world wide that upda…

What model do you use for power forecasting? Do you use different models for different forecast horizons e.g 1h, 1day, etc. or did you find that (recursive) multi step forecasting with the same model produces better results?

I quit my job as a software engineer at Google early this year to teach people how to code. I started paying people $15/hr to learn so they can make ends meet while learning instead of working at Walmart. I thought about all the missing pieces in my engineering growth and created a curriculum that welcomes students from 0 engineering background and plugs in all the holes that were black boxed to me in my engineering…
