They are 18+ at Angel Academy, right? I would say they are a lot older than 11, 14, and 15. One year I think is a lot of development in the teens. Doesn't seem a fair comparison
> "A spectrum would involve everyone having the same problem to different degrees;"
I learned the opposite, that the term spectrum is used when it is not same problem to different degrees. That's how the autism spectrum was explained to me, because the problem differs over the spectrum. In opposition to "level" or "gradient", which is intended to be something more linear over the same dimension.
I believe this redefinition of the term comes from how a "rainbow spectrum" is perceived, as different colors (and not as it is defined, as a linear degree of wavelength)

The autism spectrum, in specific, was unified from what had been listed as separate disorders. That was done because the view was reached that these disorders reflected different degrees of the same underlying problem.
> That was done because the view was reached that these disorders reflected different degrees of the same underlying problem.
No, precisely the opposite. They weren't different degrees of the same underlying problem, they were a few different combinations of symptoms from a few different symptom categories: social, communication, and repetitive behaviors.
Something being a spectrum is not just a matter of intensity on a single axis ("more or less autistic"). Imagine a graph of the visible light spectrum, wavelengths map to symptoms and their intensities map to symptom severities.
ASD is a spectrum because different individuals have different levels of impairment in each area.
Consider this: Why is ASD a spectrum disorder and social anxiety isn't? Surely you don't believe that anxiety only comes in a single level of severity.
> "I suspect many job postings would become discussion battlegrounds"
I suspect they wouldn't. I suspect companies that ghost and post fake jobs wouldn't even reply. And companies that have real job posts would reply and have a chance to convince the job is real.
People already have to scroll a ton of job posts that are not for them (due to stack, location, seniority, whatever) and the [-] button is pretty efficient in hiding long discussions.
I am in favor of not making comments about suspicious posts off-topic. Votes and comments is the natural way that all disputes are handled in this forum.
The [-] button is a pretty good solution for long discussions in a job post.
Let seekers share their experience is a pretty useful signal, even if there is no way to know if the seeker is telling the truth. But downvotes are even more secretive and are allowed.
I was told that the main reason the “Who is hiring?” thread (and other job boards for startups) has much fewer remote positions that are global (the vast majority is Remote US now) is because of a legislation that reduces a fiscal incentive when hiring software engineers and the reduction is much more aggressive when the engineers are from outside the US.
Doesn’t it affect big tech companies? Only startups?
I would guess the opposite, with big companies being much more savvy and influenced by fiscal incentives.
Got stuck in that one too because I mistranslated vegetables.
In my mind, they were all vegetables, since they are no animals or minerals. As it would be in Portuguese.
Edit: thinking about it, he wanted to make a joke about Mr Potato, but ended up creating a captcha for non-English native speakers. He could try selling that idea to ICE lol
I think the most interesting part is that, in AI, software does not have zero marginal cost anymore. You can’t build once and scale to billions just investing in infrastructure.
Still, companies like OpenAI and Twitter are doing just that. Thus losing money.
Will AI evolve to be again as regular software or will the business model of tech AI become closer to what traditional non-tech companies are?
How the WalMart of AI will look like?
Does SaaS with very high prices and very thin margins even work as a scalable business model?
I think it's just a tunneling bug that happens when the point that make up the wall get messed up a enough. Almost never happens anymore in the v2[1] that I added. This one also allows you to see these points.
