Anyone else think this looks like a retro-futuristic adult toy with an extra buzzy feature?

Im going to assume you’re not trying to be an asshole here and don’t really understand.

Yes, most of us know that this is hyperbole. We understand that non-ADHD folks aren’t robots and generally have an understanding of what social interaction for people without ADHD looks like.

Its the degree to which this effects us that is in play. When it comes to most things with ADHD if you read it and it sounds like something that everyone experiences just be aware that folks with ADHD experience it to a debilitating level.

It isn’t that other people don’t get sidetracked or go on tangents when telling a story, it’s that ADHD folks struggle to or are unable to tell a concise story. Even if we’ve practiced and rehearsed it 1000 times. It’s common for us to clarify something multiple times because we’ve forgotten what we’ve already told you or start in what seems like the middle of a conversation because we’re unaware that you’re lacking context. It’s common for us to start explaining something, completely forget what we’re talking about half way through, and just keep talking and hope we somehow answer the original question. It can be legitimately difficult to have conversation on a specific topic.

To the best of my understanding, this can be explained by the fact that most of us have a very limited working memory and struggle to pass information between working, short term, and long term memory. Often, we’ve quite literally forgotten what we were talking about and are using context clues to keep going.

edit: Noticed that I missed a few words/had a partially rewritten sentence. I feel like I accidentally proved my point somewhat.

I don’t know what a Mind War Accounts is and am uncertain if I should answer. Please send help.

When I saw “American rail” the first and only thought I had was of a porn parody of a movie: An American Rail: Fievel Bangs West.

Hell yeah! I remember being at a show with mc chris, MC Lars, and Mega Ran when the 2016 election results were announced. They made a bad night bearable.

“in a row?”

I don’t know about op, but this is the exact kind of thing I’d buy from a thrift store

I don’t really like associating these people with the concepts presented in the Bible. Their understanding of Jesus, to me, feels about on par with a Republican political candidate’s understanding of Rage Against The Machine.

I remember back when I was in school and staring at my hands seemed infinitely more important than homework. Also watching shadows change as the sun moved across the sky.

Thinking about really makes me appreciate Adderall.

It’ll be a new tradition, every year we impeach the man and every year it produces no real change.

It’s kinda a two sided coin though. If you don’t pay attention to her, she will likely get by doing even more unhinged things with fewer repercussions than she has now.

I would say that we can’t really quantify morality on a time scale that large. I may be confusing terms here but the specifics of what is and isn’t considered moral will vary wildly between different groups of people and different time periods.

Even if you break morality down to the concept of “don’t cause unnecessary suffering” leaves a lot of room for different interpretation.

AI is a tool, Ashish is 100% correct in that it may do some things for developers but ultimately still needs to be reviewed by people who know what they’re doing. This is closer to the change from punch cards to writing code directly on a computer than making software developers obsolete.

Honestly, I just ask if they can solve FizzBuzz. It shows me how they approach problems, how they communicate their process, and that they know basic programming concepts. The rest of the interview just kinda tells me if I’d get along with them as a person. Most other things, good and bad, only show up over time.

Then again, I work with software that isn’t exceptionally complex.

I’m up to four or five. Honestly, we should keep track and see who gets the high score

Real leftist use Arch, obviously.

That’s a good idea, I do use Obsidian for TTRPG notes

Which means twice the savings when you unexpectedly lay them both off!

Healthcare shouldn’t be political currency. Healthcare care is an inherently political issue, as each government has to determine the best strategy for them, but like many things in the US politicians see it as just another talking point and something that actually impacts people. This leads to policy being made by people who aren’t knowledgeable about healthcare for people who have strong about healthcare but often aren’t impacted by these policies and don’t have a strong understanding of the topic.

While it would still be a horrible thing to have happen, I’m starting to think that having a bunch of LLMs run/control the government wouldn’t necessarily be worse than what we have now (at least in the US).

How did you manage that? I’ve been worried about moving out of state for this reason (not that I have immediate plans, but I’ve thought about it).
