In my opinion this kind of genetic research on autism strengthens the view that mild to moderate autistic traits are inherited features, not pathological diseases. The heritability estimates of autistic traits are very high, even higher than e.g. human height. I don't want to undermine the real symptoms of anyone with autism, I'm sure they can be a real pain. But I'm skeptical of e.g. treating autism with therapy, it reminds me of conversion therapies.

ABA is based on the same research by lovaas that is used for conversion therapy.

How much caffeine you consume on average? Some might get withdrawal symptoms asleep if the intake is very high.


Often people are interested in exact quantitative statistics like IQR, median, top/bottom deciles which are commonly represented in box plots. The alternatives are visually simpler but they contain less quantitative information.


If you want quantititive information it's better to use a table anyway - precisely because it doesn't mislead you about the internal distribution.


The alternative plots in TFA after

> Design concepts such as the ones below make more ‘visual sense’ than box plots:

present the exact same info in much less visually confusing ways, through the use of brightness (weight) and area. Just better box plots.

And of course you can always draw some lines for the quartiles on any kind of plot with a linear scale for the value.


Im not familiar with this type of research but the appendix figures and tables are very useful to grasp what methodology they are using here. I wondered how they quantify the responses to numeric values to compare with the gold standard. It seems they simply ask the LLM to respond with a numeric answer


I assume you are familiar with Insomnia, does that work for you?


I am not familiar with Insomnia - I have exclusively used Postman for years, and am looking for alternatives that work sans cloud/internet access :)


Stock photographers are already having issues with piracy due to very powerful AI watermark removal tools. And I suspect the companies are using content of these people to train these models too. .


Depends on the asset, but usually salaries follow inflation more closely than investments.


This doesn't address what I said though. Salaries may follow, but their cash savings do not.


I was surprised by the fact that people with slight myopia often need reading glasses (presbyopia) later in life compared to people without myopia. Myopia might not be that "pathological", more like early life adaptation for certain visual stimuli.


The extreme version of HTML first: classless CSS libraries. IMO every web developer should be aware that these are sometimes a great option https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css


I'ma huge fan of these. They often have a built in CSS "reset" and then nice base styling for all the HTML elements most folks typically use in a website. Overlay a tiny little bit of custom CSS to "make it your own", and you're off to the races!


I wish more studies like this would separate the effect of things people have no control of. Attorneys clothing can have big impact. But also eye color, skin color, etc. can have impact. In my opinion there is important difference between these sources and how acceptable they are.
