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.
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.
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
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.

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.
