my parents did that too, except it was autism and they didn't mention it until I diagnosed myself

worst of all supposedly you won't feel out of breath, because CO2 concentrations will be normal, you'll feel fine, then dead

did the math and the s23 ultra would be diffraction limited at around 35 pixels across the width of a full moon

my parents were told when I was quite small, so it could have been something I grew up 'always knowing'. it's a descriptor, it gives useful context to learn more. at any age I would have preferred direct and casual: "you already know you're different, there's a name for that"

high precision mechanisms from low precision parts via elastic averaging, the Chinese remainder theorem, and the linearity of springs under small displacements

wading in because I've never seen anyone else point out the real problem here. as soon as the plane moves forward, which it will because it pushes against the air and not the ground, the wheels roll, the conveyor moves to compensate, the wheels roll more, loop, explode
there is a positive feedback loop with a gain greater than one between wheel speed and conveyor belt speed. the problem specification is incoherent

as a man it's really easy to accidentally turn your recommendations into purely thirst traps on image based social media. distracting, but boring

you're halfway through reading a sentence, the most probable possible next word is the least informative continuation for the sentence. a randomly chosen next word is highly informative, but still boring
this is because information is boring, you were not evolved to acquire bits

with a non-magic conveyor belt moving at a bounded speed, and sufficiently low wheel rolling resistance, the plane takes off with no trouble. but as specified the problem is incoherent

fraud and incompetence is rampant in academia, including stem. I'm not concerned by funding cuts because the institution is already in deep decay, might as well stop burning money

notable that the moon-sun coincidence isn't that tight, the moon's angular diameter varies by +-6.5% from its mean over its orbit
it's also not that tight of a coincidence. the sun and the moon aren't the *same* apparent size in the sky, they each occupy a range of apparent sizes throughout the year/month and those ranges overlap substantially (the moon's variation includes the full range of the sun's)

the extent of cheating in postsecondary is beyond what's socially acceptable to suggest, many many students are completely incapable in their fields but are adept cheaters

👍 I dropped a two by accident and get 70 pixels double checking now. I think the remaining difference is due to differences in intermediate step rounding

I started reading a book on speed reading once. it started with a self administered test intended to be compared with a second self test after finishing the book, I scored beyond what the book promised and set it down
Are you guys reading at 238wpm? I can barely read faster than I can speak but I can comfortably listen to podcasts at 2x speed.

arguably at some point obviously stupid/corrupt government deals should be broken
we enforce contracts as a service to those bound by the contract on both sides, the government is merely a proxy that enters into agreements on behalf of another party

I haven't played factorio in quite some time because I got caught up writing optimizers that take into account construction costs of the factory in both time and materials and I'm not happy yet
little brother's approach to factorio is interesting, one machine per product, make every ingredient from scratch for that machine
I mean he's got oil and blue science automated, tho idk if this design style is very sustainable
his base does take like no power though lol

I don't remember the early childhood diagnosis happening, I'd guess it was more observational, roughly: "yup, he sure acts spergy" - doc

I no longer think the things called autism are one unified phenomenon. I suspect there are at least three distinct things lumped under the one term.

short answer they are as dark as possible. long answer nonlinearity's a b*tch. each electron liberated by a photon across a given band gap has the same energy, photons below this energy don't work, photons above get some of their energy wasted; trade-offs on choosing the bandgap

the same 72 character limit is in place in the change password flow so I can't switch to a shorter password either. Also can't add a recovery phone number while my mobile login session persists for the same reason @discord @discord_support
