Yes, I'm autistic and I regularly take lactobacillus reuteri which has helped my gut quite a bit. I wouldn't say it was a massive shift, but it certainly has been really nice. There's at least some evidence that this bacteria

I'd like to add a little bit of water to this particular fire. I'm autistic and I've read numerous studies along this vein. In short, yes there's a strong link between gut flora and brain development however autism (and

What an interesting tale and gripping read. I've lived in China and surprised that I've never heard of this before. For those unaware, not a whole lot has changed since that time unfortunately. China has had certain periods where

It's a fascinating read, and makes a lot of sense why it's so hard to develop a commercial aircraft that actually ends up being profitable. One thing that got me wondering, and maybe someone here might know this, is why hasn'

Thanks for the reply! That makes a lot of sense given where it is right now. Hopefully it will flesh out over time, but I'll definitely be giving it a look!

GPUI is looking more and more interesting by the day. I haven't had the chance to dig into it. Can anyone with experience comment some more on how it compares to other UI frameworks? Seems like it's a really compelling alternative

To add to what others said here, another salient factor is that in Taiwan it's pretty possible to get late night food, drink, and other things. These things are almost non-existent in the US which would make working night shifts extra

They do, but they don't produce any of their leading edge chips in mainland China, just as they won't be in the USA either. Looking at the wording of my post I should have made the leading edge part more clear. My mistake there!

They're close, but I believe they're not doing any 3nm manufacturing at the moment but I could be wrong about that.

Currently TSMC has the only leading edge chip fabrications plants (fabs) on the planet and they're all located in Taiwan. They account for all new chips for all new Apple products, all new AMD products, most new Nvidia products, etc. M

Wow, he has a better commit graph than me. Very impressive, especially considering that Weezer is still active. Time to step up my game.

But if the universe is a simulation, who is simulating the simulator?

Fellow autistic person here, and in my mind you've hit the nail on the head. It's an information game for sure, like trying to drink from a fire hose of information and make sense of it somehow. I guess it's a matter of usin

Not a clinician or anything, but I'm autistic and honestly you sound pretty similar to me. In fact I'm writing this from Singapore where I'm surrounded by folks haha. I don't think being autistic is really what it's

I'm autistic and while it's nice to see ongoing research, I can't help but feel like this misses the point somewhat. In particular I've seen a number of studies that make the jump from Fragile X syndrome to autism which

Eh, it depends. I actually know quite a few folks in SE Asia that would likely qualify for this. Not to mention Taiwan, Japan, etc.

Honestly Drupal is solid for a number of things, and in terms of getting a CRUD type app/site up it's probably still one of the fastest ways to do it for the non-technical. Actually pretty cool that you can get APIs straight out o

To be fair, it's far easier in written Chinese[1] to have allusion and metaphor because of the multifaceted nature of meaning in the characters. For instance, 行 (pronounced xing or haeng in Mandarin) has an absolute laundry list[2] of

Not sure what the issue would be here. I don't think it would be accurate to transliterate ปู as "buu" but instead "bpuu". Same with /d/t/th, as these can be written just fine like ใด - dai and ไต - d

Optical image stabilization in modern phone camera sensors uses (very) small leaf springs along with small actuators to stabilize the sensor from shaking. Undampened vibrations from vehicles, especially motorcycles, can damage this springs

It is apparently extremely difficult to fabricate LK-99 and most of the time the process being used creates similar substances but without appropriate Cu substitution in its lattice. All of the videos have been of generally quite small samp

To our knowledge it has been at a steady level throughout human history. Kant was mentioned in this thread, Henry Cavendish was also thought to be autistic. From Wikipedia: > Cavendish was taciturn and solitary and regarded by many as ec

I’m not sure how AGPL would prevent you from hosting on the same network. It’s pretty standard among OSS software companies to prevent Google, Amazon, et al. from swooping in and creating a competitor using their open source code.

It's not necessarily about whether they're actually making money on those as opposed to covering their costs. Almost any successful company based around open source software (and often closed source) has a huge spread of customers

Didn’t quit my tech job but I’m a (very very low level) pro Muay Thai fighter on the side. Honestly tech has quite a few benefits in terms of work though I think on its own it can seriously induce burnout. Personally I think that having any

At some level we always have a mask, a persona that we present to others. I think where the the problems come in is when that persona doesn’t align with our underlying reality. I don’t think there is any one right way to go about this. Try

Thank you for posting these links and for sharing your experience. Another autistic person here and just wanted to leave this comment here for anyone that might find it helpful (and don’t want to imply this is for you specifically either!).

This is actually one of my favorite historical facts. Buddha images are everywhere in modern Thailand and it’s fascinating to me that this likely would not be the case if it weren’t for Greeks in Central Asia

I don't think ignorance is that excusable in this case. I grew up in the desert and in cases where it's "100°F and bone-dry" it's extremely dangerous to undertake a long hike without proper preparation, especially i

I'm going to disagree here. He started a signal fire which he left unattended in the desert which ignited a 230-acre blaze. Hiking in the desert is quite dangerous and his actions could have easily endangered others. He's lucky th
