  • Thank you! Really appreciate the reply, trying to find info about this has been less than successful. Specifically this happened after firmware 1.0.4 amd was supposedly fixed in 1.0.6 but seems to be nothing else after this to indicate if its fixed or not.

    So a couple more questions if you dont mind:

    What firmware version are you running? Any reason in particular you didn’t update the firmware? And would you say you like the performance?



  • I agree with this. I’m using a 1070ti for image gen and it would be more than capable for handling some LLM stuff. An AMD 7700xt ive found dors well with 7B models on my main rig but im sure you could get away with somthing cheaper or less powerful.

    That said, the amount of text you can genrate or the context length of its answers will depend the model you use and the larger the model, the more power it takes.

    If youre just messing around with it or want it to review or answer small questions, I’d say a 1070ti like I’m using would be just fine. Some folks use even more budget friendly options. If you got a gaming machine with any semi recent GPU, I’d say go for it. Worst case, you can pay for a subscription later if you really want.




  • Before i even knew i had it, caffeine. One cup of coffee and maybe a soda per day. No more or otherwise it’d make me tired. Its no replacement for meds but other things helped too like keeping notes, getting enough sleep, excerising, and one of the things i still do today, taking the frustration out of daily tasks.

    If something bugs you a lot or stops you from being productive, find a way to make it easier or at least less annoying. Problem solve. Its one of my biggest drivers for dopamine hits and making your life easier by just getting rid of little annoyances makes it easier to function overall.

    All that said, like others mentioned, I didn’t function well before meds. Honestly i feel like i got off easy but its not really helpful to compare your situation to others.

    I hope anything from this post helps you out man.


  • I have used discover and other similar apps like the Pop shop but man are they just not quite there yet imo.

    I installed Pop!OS on my media pc recently and that gave me more problems than discover on my main pc running Fedora.

    Both were good for finding apps but installing was kind of a pain. Usually it would crash, or not install at all, sometimes canceling would hang forever, etc.

    Though this could be due to my internet being shit where i live atm so ymmv.





  • Meds do help in my case. My issues was not procrastination so much as id procrastinate and then forget about it.

    Meds help me remember to do things and stay more organized but they don’t make it super easy, just easier. I think the biggest thing is they make me feel awake. Before meds, i always felt like i was tired. Probably because my brain was always in overdrive.

    Feeling awake helps motivate me to get stuff done.

    I’m using amphetamine salts or generic adderall



  • My advice is start slow and dont hurt yourself in the name of fitness. Its better to take a day off if your legs really hurt so that your body has time to heal rather than “work through the pain”.

    And eat enough to fuel the new cardio. Doesnt do you much good if you arent giving your body enough to work with. If your trying to lose weight, slight calorie deficit of about 200 calories is typically recommended.

    And listen to some music that pumps you up! Always made me love running. Good luck! You got this :)

    I work at a small company where I wear a lot of hats.

    I audit chats, supervise a team of agents, answer billing and sales tickets as well as the phone for sales.

    When theres downtime i also work on spreadsheets which we use to track agent performance and make tools to help us work. Thats probably the msot fun part. Its a good job.

    Pay is way under what we should be getting but i like the company and they treat me well. Plus wfh so cant complain too much.


  • Lol ive had that kind of experience as well. I got lucky and first med i tried was really effective. I’m now able to just stop thinking for a while. All the voices are quiet and no music plays.

    I just got diagnosed last year and ive had ADHD all my life without knowing it so super weird to just have a quiet head. I get what you mean, its such a drastic change, but a good one.




  • I personally have had the best luck finding jobs on indeed. Its a popular job board for a reason but that doesnt mean that there arent a ton of postings from companies that arent actually looking for employees. Its super shitty of them but work with what ya got.

    I avoid any job posting that has weird requirements like they want you to take a test or want you to add your resume through thier website instead. I dont reccomend wasting your time with that unless the job posting looks really worth it. Rarely they are. I get the most rejections from those.

    What i recommend most is trying to get a job in the same field or company that a friend works at. Much easier to get hired if someone can vouch for you. Thats how i got my current job. Before that, i was stuck in security and constantly job hunting with no return on investment.



  • If you dont need the drive to be fast and want best bang for your buck storage capacity, HDD is the way to go.

    If you want speed and are ok with a higher price, SSD is best. Used enterprise HDD are usually a good value. Im in the US so not sure about where to purchase exactly.

    Something to consider is if the drive you are storing the os and files on are the same, using am HDD will make it slower on start up.
