He was an asshole so he should be used to shit. Same guy one year, the company sponsored a "Thanksgiving dinner", he told one of my coworkers, who was admittedly overweight like 300-350lbs "wait till everyone else gets a plate before you eat everything"

[-] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

Exactly. They are different and should not be "autism". Technically my kid is not non-verbal but limited to one or two words, like if he wants to watch blue's clues he'll just say blue or if he's hungry he will just say yum yum.

I'm not a doctor but you and your niece have different conditions and likely have different causes and potentially different treatments. We should eliminate the word autism and separate it into like 5 or 10 different conditions and study them separately.

[-] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

Agreed. I feel like if we separate them doctors and scientists could study causes and care more effectively. What you need is totally different from my son, why are they combined? Yes the common cold, the flu and TB all result in coughing but don't have the same treatment. They seem more related then "autism".

The difficulty of diagnosing autism shows this. If you get strep throat, take a test and it's either positive or negative. No one can say "yeah, it says I don't have strep throat but..."

I believe that there should be way more than 2 conditions which are currently just called autism. You seem to have one, my son is non-verbal and physically unable to complete basic tasks like eating a bowl of cereal, others feel uncomfortable if someone touches their face, others need to constantly fidgit, some require music to feel comfortable, some are obsessed over a certain topic like boats or trains or Lego or whatever. All are currently "autism" but don't seem to be related. I wish they got rid of the "spectrum"and studied the separate types as separate conditions.

A counter point to the passport thing is the size of the us. You can travel the same distance as Spain to Finland to Ukraine without a passport. Go to la, ny, boston, Dallas, Miami and Seattle and tell me they have the same culture.

I believe the left check list is stuff no related to the task but stuff to "prepare" for starting the task. For example writing a book, before writing I should change the os on my computer and should read this paper on lexography and watch this video series on character growth arcs and I should buy a cat as good authors tend to have cats, well now I need to buy a cat food bowl and a water dish, I need to learn to use this software to track my writing, oh that can interpret my latex script, what's latex...several years later...oh the book yeah I'll start it right after I clean the cats litter box...

I'm sad, that joke would of been great

[-] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

Wait... We missed one... Owltube.com

Ok...was the "From Facebook" part a joke that you posted here from facebook or just a typo?

If I'm not mistaken Friday is their last authorized launch date(correct me if wrong) so there are 3 possible conclusions :

  1. Rocket explodes doing major pr damage as they are pushing their ipo.

  2. Rocket doesn't launch and is delayed until after ipo, not good for Elon but maybe salvagable.

  3. Launch is successful and everything goes great. This is what Elon is hoping for but unlikely with this many retires required.

Reading their ipo release they want to claim it's based on Ai but they want to run their Ai from space(for unknown reasons). To do so they need a delivery method which would be the starship. If it's not reliable on 1 flight would you trust it to launch your 100 billion dollar Ai data center to space?

[-] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

True plus they were able to do this 15 years ago... No need for Ai since they already have a system in place to do so.

See other response, they are bigger than I thought
