> That's because starting JVM 22, the previous so-called "dynamic attachment of agents" is put behind a flag.

Ok am I being stupid or is the pragmatic solution not to just to enable this flag for test runs etc. and leave it off in prod?


I think the problem is that it's on his users to enable this flag, not something that can be done by Mockito automatically.


Most people want their test suite to pass. If they ugprade java and mockito prints out a message that they need to enabled '--some-flag' while running tests they're just going to add that flag to surefire in their pom. Seems like quite a small speedbump.


I use both but really don't see it. There are so many scenarios I've come across which jetbrains products do "out of the box" that vscode require plugins which usually don't install with sensible defaults. Just debugging rust for example is a night and day difference between vscode and rust rover.


> Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished

I don't know, you ever seen a video of a cheetah hunting a gazelle? Lots of hurrying going on there.


Thats a lot of work for tbe cheetah, especially at a cellular level. But not much effort at all.

Do you have a dog? Does it look like effort when it runs around? It is effort for it NOT to run!

Nature is the laziest fuck of them all. Lets shine this sunlight and let entropy/quantum fluctuations take care of the rest. Might get life form in one in every billion planets.


It probably wouldn't be significant as executive function and overall intelligence can change independently.


I think this is broadly well considered although I have a bit of trouble understanding this point:

> Social awkwardness refers to social ineptness without meaningful impairment

Isn't social awkwardness sort of inherently impairing in social relationships?


> Isn't social awkwardness sort of inherently impairing in social relationships?

Yes, but I think the distinction is explained in the article: "show significant improvement with practice and maturity" and "generally achieve life goals despite awkwardness".

To put it another way, those who are socially awkward can get better, whereas some of the other diagnoses are lifetime impairments with little or no possibility for improvement or cure.


Probably but at the risk of giving a bad analogy maybe the distinction here is like that between an itchy wool sweater (uncomfortable, broadly decreases mobility by making you not want to move) and a garment that actually restricts movement (a too small blazer that won’t let you reach straight up or, in the extreme, a straight jacket).


Yep. Psychiatry (or most of medicine really) is not trying to bring everyone up to the top 10% of the population, or even the top 50% along some dimension of interest. Psychiatry is mainly trying to move people from the bottom ~5% (what we call a "disorder") to the top ~95% of the population - which is then considered normal variability. So, if you take for example extraversion/social skills, then many "psychiatry-healthy" people will not be good at this at all, will make fewer connections, will not ask for raises, will be skipped for promotion, will have weak social support structures if shit hits the fan, etc. That's just normal trait variation.

I think a really good example of this is self-diagnosing with bipolar disorder (and thus mania). Let's forget for a second that mania must last at least a few days non stop; most people do not notice this part somehow :). If you read the DSM criteria you may think that you actually fit them sometimes: elevated/irritable mood, highly talkative, distractible, flight of ideas, ... . However, you probably don't, and it is mainly a matter of understanding the scale of the problem. Most people do not know just how wide the range of "mood" is in humans, and what does it mean to be on either of the far ends of it.

(percentages are much more illustrative than accurate)


I read it as "without other psychological or psychiatric issues which cause social difficulties."

It seems very tightly focussed, and more behavioural - and open to behavioural training - than other categories.


I think a crucial bit of context is that in the UK, many people who are seeking diagnosis as adults grew up in areas where there were no or very few child psychiatry services in the 80s/90s. In such areas only very profound cases would be referred to out of area services. Most people with neurodevelopment disorders in such areas were diagnosed with SpLDs like dyspraxia or dyslexia which could be diagnosed by community paediatricians, usually with evidence from educational psychologists and occupational therapists.

In fact the pattern is almost the opposite of what you'd see in the US where it would be hard to get diagnosed with a SpLD and e.g. ADHD was more widely recognised. But the rub lies in the fact that ADHD, ASD and many SpLDs have fairly high rates of comorbidities with one another, to the point where if you've got dyspraxia and no other diagnosable comorbidity, you're actually in the minority of people with it.


Nvidia is already in the TPU race aren't they? This is exactly what the tensor cores on their current products are supposed to do, but they're just more heterogeneous GPU based architectures and exist with CUDA cores etc. on the same die. I think it should be within their capability to make a device which devotes an even higher ratio of transistors to tensor processing.


It's pure ideology that "cutting red tape" will lead to growth. Unfortunately I don't think there's much to understand, perhaps beyond the US giving the EU some kind of kickback for complying.


> Rust shouted about safety. Zig just built it

This makes it sound like Zig built Rust equivalent safety but its manual memory model suggests otherwise?


"From my point of view the Jedi are evil!" comes to mind.
