tecleandor··on So You Think You Could Be an Electrician?
Until a breaker doesn't work properly.
tecleandor··on ADHD, autism or complex trauma? [pdf]
Ah yeah, that's why I was noting there isn't evidence that it helps (and not "there is evidence that it doesn't help"). I'll try to edit and add a "yet" to make it clearer.

Thanks, I understood that better. I hope you get to learnt (or are in the never ending process of learning) to understand and express your emotions in a helpful and productive way.

I have lots of problems understanding my feelings (good old alexithymia) and it's always been an struggle for me to understand or communicate how I feel or what bothers me.

Well, I feel emotional regulation is different to shutting down you emotions and your energy.

Emotional regulation is a great thing to work with (I should keep on it), but I think it's very important to do it, not like "my emotions don't belong here, I'm not valid", but knowing the differences between different people, learning how different people behave and express themselves, and finding ways of moving your emotions to different places that help you express yourself and transmit your needs. And you don't have to do it the same way than everyone else (that's one of the most important things I've learnt since my diagnose a couple years ago).

Through a quick read I understood...

- People with ADHD and Autism have higher probabilities of childhood trauma and abuse. They might seek a diagnose in adulthood and that can bring them relief and be helpful.

- People with non-ADHD/autism related childhood trauma are more likely to perceive themselves as being neuro divergent. They might have executive disfunctions, and try to find an ADHD diagnosis (that could probably get, as it matches their symptoms) but as of today seems like there isn't evidence (yet) that ADHD stimulant medication helps with non-ADHD executive disfunctions.

- Hence, is important for professionals to verify the history of the patient and make sure they had ADHD symptoms when they were children (that would confirm ADHD), and if not, maybe try to find different psychotherapeutic treatments that would be more helpful to their complex PTSD.

> In some ways it was likely a good impact. I learned that my energy had no place in the world. I learned that my emotions would likely cause more problems than they would solve. I learned to shut up, and sit down, and follow the rules, even when every ounce of my inner being wanted to do the opposite.

I'm kinda confused. Is that the good impact you think that had in you? Why?

tecleandor··on ADHD, autism or complex trauma? [pdf]
Yep, the specialists having interviews with multiple different people from your environment (friends, partners, siblings...) help a lot to differentiate what's real and what not. Also, it's usual that once you pass your twenties you stop living with your parents and/or start shielding them a bit of your struggles, so they don't have the full view of your day to day "fight".

In my case they had interviews with two exes (who are two of my best friends), my sister and my parents.

It can be both. It frequently is when you're trying to navigate a condition and everybody is downplaying it or just pointing it as your fault for being stupid or lazy. And, yes, years of that (frequently involuntary) gaslighting creates trauma.
tecleandor··on U.S. postal inspectors shut down website selling counterfeit postage labels
Easy. Drop a letter from USPS.
tecleandor··on U.S. postal inspectors shut down website selling counterfeit postage labels
I'm not in front of my computer so I can't query our fraud documents right now (I work in that business), but I recall quite some different schemes, a bit of everything:

Really forged labels, reusing old tracking numbers and that kind of things... Hijacking Mailer IDs and/or USPS API keys... And of course, hijacking accounts of USPS resellers. An e-commerce/retailer/whatever that uses an USPS reseller API for getting all kind of labels get hacked, and its API keys are used for generating a hundred thousand labels to be resold in eBay.

OMG, that XEP is extremely and unnecessarily complex. Just do, I don't know, markdown.

That made me remember IBM JSONx... https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datapower-gateway/10.6.x?topic=2...

tecleandor··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
I don't know the original intentions, but I don't feel it's anti Chinese just by itself.

It could be pro-Chinese if you frame it like they give merit to anyone involved, or that they take care of their most valuable employees (maybe they pay them another way), or whatever.

Or just observant of how Chinese labs publish their stuff. (Not sure if it's always like that I haven't take a look at the number of authors in this type of publications. Or at least I can't remember it.)

tecleandor··on Can gzip be a language model?
The original author and also creator of the RAR format, Eugene Roshal, is Russian. I think he moved to the US way back in the day, but not sure about that. He has been very private with his life.

The company doing the software distribution, is located in Berlin. The Managing Directors for that company seem to have Turkish names, but I don't know if they're Turkish.

BTW, Looking for some info I just found a website [0], clearly AI generated (but not necessarily meaning the content is false) claiming Eugene Roshal had severe kidney failure this past month, and he's waiting for surgery. They're asking for donations. There are some names on who's theoretically behind it [1] but they don't link to any LinkedIn profile or personal site. I can't find any other references. The BTC wallet they're using for donations hasn't seen any traffic ever. BE WARY, SMELLS FISHY.

The icon list in every poster, no matter which style (even the minimalists) is what's killing me.

tecleandor··on OpenJev
I get the point, and it's nice, but I think the "Jev" naming is confusing (and it could be legally dangerous).
tecleandor··on OpenJev
I'm confused... This has no relation with the Jev team, isn't it?

It's trying to "emulate" Jev behavior using a regular small LLM model (Qwen3 0.6B or MiniCPM5 2B). And with the smallest model it takes like between half to two seconds to run in my M2 Max, so it's not super fast.

I mean, it's faster than asking to a regular LLM, but I think that's not proper to have Jev on the name (also legally...)

Edit: no shade, and I'll give it a try for some ideas. I'd also like to have an open weights Jev but I think the naming is misguiding. I also have to try Jev that, BTW, got access pretty quickly, less than a day I think...

tecleandor··on Fujitsu launches made-in-Japan next-generation CPU FUJITSU-MONAKA
Yep. I'd say the CPU is manufactured outside, and the rest of the server in Japan.
tecleandor··on Japan's book scene is moving from bookstores to libraries
Some corrections to the article...

The first example, Takeo City library, wasn't opened by Tsutaya in 2013. That's a public (government) library that already existed from 2000, remodeled, and when reopening in 2013 they partnered with Tsutaya so they could have a small books/stationery shop in the library. There's a Starbucks too... I think Tsutaya might be managing part of the library, but it's not like they opened a library.

Seems like it's a program that Tsutaya is doing around the country, some sort of public/private arrangements where they do management and they add a small shop. I have mixed feelings about it, and I hope the libraries don't depend on Tsutaya's funding. For me libraries should be a totally public endeavor, and their decisions on policies or titles shouldn't be on risk because of funding pressure.

A couple links in English...

tecleandor··on 145 Days of Uptime, 56 TiB of Traffic, One Debian Upgrade
"The interesting part is not that Debian can be upgraded. The interesting part is what this says..."

The interesting part would be a text that's not the same than everyone else right now. Stop with the AI texts. It's unreadable. It's not engaging at all.

tecleandor··on Prisma's pgbouncer=true on Supabase made every query 4 round-trips (postmortem)
To the author:

First of all, you still have the images problem (among others). Loading your home site takes around 60MB of downloads, including the autoloading 40MB MP4 file. Reduce resolution and compress. You don't need a phone to reproduce that, you just need to open your web browser development tools and reload the site to see how heavy is it. Also, the memory use calculation is off, but that's not important because probably an LLM did it.

Second, your API in karibukit.com is down

Don't rely that much in the LLM. Check things with your own eyes.

tecleandor··on Prisma's pgbouncer=true on Supabase made every query 4 round-trips (postmortem)
It'd be great if it were written as a postmortem, but seems like that's almost the only moment where a concrete hour is mentioned. Except for the screenshot footnote.

"The crash is the short story; the slowness is the one worth writing down."

The horror.

I'd rather read a "badly written" and to the point story, than a clone of the last 20 postmortem-ish/incredible discovery stories I've seen this week.

tecleandor··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
Thing is... if OpenAI cannot even confidently say if some data was used for training or not, as their models and weights and stuff are mostly black boxes, how could you enforce or demonstrate in court that case?

About researchers, lots of them are probably using personal plans that aren't even reimbursed by their institutions. I could ask Cordova's research institution (I MAY) but I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case.

When you say "confidential in-house version", what are you referring to? Local models? Bedrock deployment with "guardrails"? A different thing?
