Object personification in autism: This paper will be sad if you don't read (2018)

news.ycombinator.com White Rc Remington A 2025-11-17 10:34:48

Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon. Given that approximately half of all autistic individuals experience difficulties identifying their own emotions, the suggestion that object personification may be a feature of autism seems almost paradoxical. Why would a person experience sympathy for objects, when they struggle to understand and verbalise the emotions of ot

OpenTelemetry for Go: Measuring overhead costs

news.ycombinator.com Nikolay Sivko 2025-11-17 10:09:17

Everything comes at a cost — and observability is no exception. When we add metrics, logging, or distributed tracing to our applications, it helps us understand what’s going on with performance and key UX metrics like success rate and latency. But what’s the cost? I’m not talking about the price of observability tools here, I mean the instrumentation overhead. If an application logs or traces everything it does, that’s bound to slow it down or at least increase resource consumption. Of course,

‘Rick and Morty’ Creators Address That Hilarious New Plot Hole

The latest entry in Rick and Morty season eight skewers holiday celebrations. It starts off with a similar approach to Solar Opposites‘ riff on a Santa Clause-style rule for Halloween, then flies off the rails by by enmeshing the hapless Jerry in an ancient drama involving the Easter Bunny, pseudo-Christian aliens, and the plot of Alien prequel Prometheus.

Scientists in Antarctica Detect Deep-Earth Signals That Defy Known Physics

These signals challenge our current understanding of particle physics, scientists say.
