I found Finally Focused by James Greenblatt to be quite helpful. He makes sure key minerals and vitamins are in a good range before prescribing stimulants. This sometimes solves the problem by itself, or it reduces the levels of stimulants

It was originally called ADD. Then they forced the H in there for hyperactivity. And now they say there is non-hyperactive ADHD, but... they don't call it ADD. So the first rule of getting attention for your paper is to re-define com

This is an interesting way to think about how to get to a minimal form of a complex system. A friend in college told me of a research project that had managed to balance a simulated inverted pendulum in 2D using 25 neurons and back propagat

No, the bicycle is unstable. PID doesn't work well there. In addition, it is controlling a coupled 3D system (which is unstable). This is much more than 3 PID controllers.

This sounds like the feed of a single male. Facebook showing sleazy content/ads to single guys predates AI by a lot. Try removing your single relationship status from your profile and see what changes.

Legged robots can be more efficient, in theory. Whenever you drive/walk in soft terrain, the wheel/leg is constantly climbing the ramp created by it sinking into the terrain. In a perfect system, this determines how much power y

> the ordered dosage of methylene blue was 1mg/kg/hr That's 5X what is considered a safe dose. Up to 2mg/kg/day is considered safe. Double that with care. But they were dosing every hour for days!

Watch out of patent problems. There was a major dust up between Sonos and Google over audio sync technology. Disclaimer: I've worked for both companies, but not on that

Very cool write up! I'm amazed that it's running on AAA batteries. The introduction to SDR (software defined radio) is much appreciated. Edit: defined, not designed

This talks about the "what" of the code, but you have to also convey the "why". If you have a well understood problem space and a team that is up to speed on it, then the "why" is well established and the code

That depends on if it's in the grass that the cows eat. They first researched iodine in cows because there isn't much iodine in the grass around the great lakes. This area was known as the "goiter belt". Adding iodine

I keep wondering how this compares to Zig and WASM? Zig has a nicer syntax with fewer foot guns than C. It can also compile or link with C.

D3 is really a hormone. You are showing the classic symptoms of it becoming too high. If/when this happens, discontinue supplementing for a few days and then you can resume at a lower level. Once you understand what too high feels l

You need to treat D3 as a hormone with an ideal range. When your blood levels gets too high (typically over 100) you have trouble sleeping and might have restless leg syndrome. When it's in the ideal range (60 - 80) you sleep like a

The National Science Foundation (NSF) runs the research activities on the base. They don't allow anyone random there and they would be immediately obvious. There are some Antarctic cruise ships that come in and do a day trip. I hear

Yes, it's NZ time. Since most of their flights and logistics are through NZ it makes the most sense to use that time zone. The sun just orbits and never sets. So any normal day/night cycles doesn't exist. There are other (s

I wondered if the C-17 would be a game changer for them. It was just entering service back in 92. They had the land landing strip back then, but it's too short for a C-5. The C-17 was designed to handle shorter and rougher landing s

It's amazing that they have the bandwidth for this. I assume there is a US or NZ based server that serves the world, but still. I was there in the 92-93 season. We were lucky to have e-mail back then. We did our own special internet

The bottom end of the housing market is usually junk or otherwise tied up legally. Just because you get hits, doesn't mean that's a viable option. I just did a housing search recently and found this out the hard way. Look at the

I would recommend "why we get fat" by Gary Taubes. Calorie counting has be disproved so many times, but it sticks around despite the science being against it. If you're a doctor or researcher, "Good calories, bad calor

They have done studies that showed that it "helped" about 60% of the time (sorry I don't have the reference). "Helped" is a far weaker term than cured. I've read some of McCarthy's books and this is ofte

A reference would be helpful :-) Gluten and dairy are in almost all packaged foods. They drive cravability in a big way. So I'm guessing any "debunking" was funded by someone making money from this. There are a few people

Autism is a wide spectrum. Some would consider ADHD part if it. If nothing else, there is lots of overlap.

Two things that might also work, but be easier. Supplement MCT oil. This turns into keytones in the body. See The Complete Book of Ketones by Mary Newport for all the science. She's got into it for Alzheimers, but the applicability

You might look up Dr Gominak on Youtube. She figured out that higher levels (60 - 80) of D3 correspond to much better sleep. It worked for me and that first night when you get good sleep is just amazing. Her website has all the specifics.

Let me suggest an option that I haven't seen others bring up. One source of depression is that your expectations of what life and relationships should be like is all messed up. This comes from having a dysfunctional family growing up
