Or maybe boys aren't defective girls and the problem is a toxic and abusive school system using this as a way to justify drugging them into compliance.

You're skipping the giant forty billion pound pink elephant in the room: Boys are staggeringly overdiagnosed by a toxic and abusive school system as a way to justify drugging them into compliance. Give kids recess and reasonable expectations for work (and homework) and you'll see diagnosis rates plummet.

"It's an intention disorder, not an attention disorder". People with ADHD struggle with executive function. Their problem isn't that they can't focus, it's that they don't get to pick what they focus on.

He's typically pragmatic about it, and the attitude serves well.
Is it a real bug? Are POSIX standards violated, or user code broken by a operating system's promise? If yes, it needs to be fixed. If no, it has already wasted too much time.

Doesn't IT keep the back ups or do they also use old fashioned notebooks and pens?
Unfortunately, it's complicated.
For large companies, yes, there are enough lawsuits all the time that retention rules are to keep everything.
For small companies and individuals, generally there are minimal retention policies in place. That's the big reason for sending out the notices, so they have legal notice not to delete anything that might be evidence in the lawsuit. Even if they casually or unwittingly deleted it before, they're on notice now to preserve it.
The allegations are pretty serious, and digital paper trails through emails could be quite damning if people were specifically asked to bring along intellectual property from a past job. Assuming news reports are accurate, at least a few of those requests came through emails and text messages, so it would be a big deal if anyone deleted them.

Dario has got he alignment problem completely on its head. Its not the alignment of AI which is the problem, world decision makers in general and the USA one in particular are disastrously misaligned. In fact since Dario has "much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences" he is part of the problem, not the solution.
Please AI, save us from ourselves, misaligned humans.

That other parts of optical quantum computing are more intricate is irrelevant for the fact that selective transport based on quantum state at room temperature was already common before this.
Lets switch to a different example for a moment. A quarter wave plate might not be a "quantum material" either, but it flips polarisation just fine in optical quantum computing. The mythical "quantum material" is not a prerequisite for a quantum computing function.

That's hardly relevant chatgpt, they boast about the selective transport direction, which a reflective polariser does just fine at room temperature for the polarisation quantum state.
