yeah, when I was trying to figure out 'What is the moment before the split second "my fingers just opened a new tab" effect, I realized so much of adhd is really consciously or subconsciously:

emotional flinching

distraction is just running away from a feeling. I don't actually care about the content of the new tab, i'm not addicted to the internet, blah blah

BTW, The old book Focusing by Eugene Gendlin really helped me here-- it's on libgen or you can youtube the authors name to see some of his one on one sessions he did with people before he died. (You can do it yourself without a person tho, it's just having a kind listener helps you stick with it)

it's NOT about adhd or focusing on stuff lol, it's the name for his diy technique of 'figuring out what the feeling is' and unlocks all other therapy stuff that you may do after
Yes 100%, there's a reason for this. Distinguishing right from wrong is an absolute act, and we have been conditioned to associate that with religious zealotry or raving lunacy. By hearing both sides, people are shying away from taking responsibility. Also, by holding up an ethos (e.g. bullying is categorically wrong) to others, we hold up a mirror to ourselves. Hypocrisy is instantly revealed then. (Note for example that the religious right has no problem being hypocrites ).
makes sense. thanks
Yeah, look, you waffled this one but I still liked it. I can tell that you know what you’re doing and that you have something to say. I may not agree with it but I didn’t dismiss it.

But when I say premise is weak, it’s a technical term. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

I mean, in this case I do think that, but that’s why you’re getting so much pushback. Even if the premise was right, you’d still be getting pushback.

On the next post, remember to spend extra time there. It always comes back to haunt you.

Remember that the reader is smart but in a rush. The less words the better. Keep it country simple.
At the same time I think a lot of people walk around angry at the world and unaware of their problem. Or a lot of people are depressed and don't realize it. Or any number of issues.

A lot of times it can be all over somebody's face and body language.

Self awareness is hard. I used to take selfies to help neutrally assess my own mood. A lot of the time I was feeling something and unaware, but I could tell from the photo.

I hear what you’re saying, but I think it’s important to take a more nuanced viewpoint rather than reducing such parents to “bad people”.

I think it’s fair to criticize such people, or point out why it’s a problematic approach, but many parents are just trying to do what they believe is the right thing, misguided though it may be.

Education and correcting misconceptions is important, and applying a binary mindset to anyone who shields their kids in this way is not going to move the needle, nor is it likely a fair representation of these individuals.
Thanks for the pointer -- looks like (OCaml/F#)++ with an effect system and some other niceties. I guess I'd rather go that way then enter the Scala effects mire.
There are some obvious issues I didn't see up front (unless I missed them) -
- How do content addressable fns and their codedabase integrate w/git (seems like it really has to for the time-being)
- The usual: What's the execution model & perf characteristics?
- I see it's written in Haskell, but don't know if it's interpreted or further transpiled, etc.
- Debugger? Interop?
- Type and efficiency of GC
- Impl. of collection types - simple conses vs. HMAT or r/b trees, etc.

A strongly-typed pluggable effect system like this should really replace in a more structured and powerful way what Python does today, which is really just to proxy out to efficient external libs (often written in native code, like Numpy or various AI engines, etc.) If Python is used for actual compute, you're adding several 0's to your runtime.

So I'm curious if Unison is of that ilk, or can be used dependency-free for CPU-intensive (and in my case, non-numeric) workloads.
I think the largest problem with obesity, honestly, is food labeling.

Every sentence on every piece of packaging for food is a targeted advertisement, and I don't think most people know that. Whole grain, stone ground, low-fat, etc. They all specifically, legally mean something, and have across the board been perverted to the point that an average consumer absolutely cannot understand what is sold that is actually okay to eat and what is not.

Hell, even when just tracking calories - look at the caloric content. Sitting on my desk is a package of pretzels. It says one serving is 28g, or about 17 pretzels.

It's 12 pretzels when actually weighed. That's 70% of what they list. Read that again; the actual weight of 28 grams is 12 pretzels, not 17.

How can we even hope to be able to understand what we're eating, when even basic facts are fucked beyond comprehension?

Show HN: Generate never-before-seen storyboards for Rick and Morty episodes
Rick and Mortify is a system we built for creating never-before-seen episodes of Rick and Morty by leveraging the state-of-the-art in generative AI.

These days generative AI is so hot right now. It promises to revolutionize all aspects of creative work from copywriting and image creation, to video and audio synthesis.

Given the rapid progress of AI, when will we see an AI system listed in the closing credits of your favorite feature-length film?

Rick and Mortify is a tool we built to demonstrate that future is closer than you might think.

Our tool uses the state-of-the-art in large vision and language models to create never-before-seen episodes of Rick and Morty with minimal human intervention. All the plot points, dialogue, and accompanying visuals are generated with machine learning.

Why use Rick and Morty as a case-study?

Because 1) given the show's complex narrative structure and character profiles, it offers an ambitious north star for generative AI systems and 2) that show is the bomb and as AI researchers, we want to make Rick proud.

Rick and Mortify is only scratching the service of what is possible and we're excited to see what you create with it. If you've been thinking about AI-driven story generation, we'd love to hear from you!

I think spaced repetition with critical feedback is the best way to improve, but some frameworks can help.

This article resonates strongly with me: https://www.animalz.co/blog/bottom-line-up-front/ on its two main points:

Put the Bottom Line Up Front (contrary to most literary storytelling styles and to many logic structures) and Add Context to minimize context switching. The former is something people can often read and quickly internalize; the latter seems harder for people. "Hey, I'm looking at this Excel sheet; what do you think?" "Well, I think you're an idiot for not even telling me what spreadsheet you're looking at..."

Thats not even close to what I said, and is a sad reflection of your perceptions, you should seek help, because before you can help others (as I suggested) you have to be in a good place yourself (which clearly you are not)
The reality is that Psychology and Psychiatry are not built on top of science and are in no way legitimate studies of science or medicine. They have a loose cargo culting of science, built on some philosophy of the mind, but they are illegitimate and given far too much credence in our modern day society. The fields have basically 0 studies that have been reproduced in the last 100 years, have no theories that can be proven as per mechanism, just some loose studies on a few people with surveys.

Ultimately, hybrid working is just working alone but in a worse environment.

I think (having never tried it) that I could be happy with 2-3 days in, 2-3 days out, on the proviso that everyone comes in on the same days.

If you don't do that, you're just doing video calls from the office. Every meeting has to be a video call because someone won't be there, and at lunch and other times you can't socialise properly because people aren't there. That just defeats the point of going in.
> don't let people waste their time creating issues in the first place

But then you don't get to use issues to track things that you personally care about. It would be nice if there were a way to enable issue creation by the repo owner / maintainers, but disallow it for the public at large. Especially now that "discussions" are a thing, which gives a place for people to comment without implicitly requesting work from the maintainer.

Apparently this is sort of possible[1] by setting `blank_issues_enabled: false`, so that you can only create issues from the Project page.

It seems to be very hard to distinguish between bullying and rough play. Rough play is a developmental requirement (particularly for young boys) across the hominoid clade (and likely wider). Being denied it also has real and lifelong consequences. For further reading, Frans de Waal has done a lot of work in this area.

Educational policy informed by this research usually looks not to intervene in physical conflict between equally matched (by size/age) peers. It also looks at conflict management and resolution as a primary responsibility of the peer group, rather than the adults/teachers, with the escalation path being to older peers before adults.
Interesting!

My doc also told me that everyone is different, and not all medicine works for everyone and most medicine doesn't work at all for some people.

That's why I didn't put emphasis on medicine alone, but I do think it's important to seek for professional help in general. It was important for me, but now I understand it's not a silver bullet.

Thanks a lot for sharing, as it put some new perspective for me and others in this thread.

While this particular implementation doesn't track individuals, couldn't your trivially start tracking individuals by sending them unique random times like last-modified: 12 Mar 1978 12:34:56 GMT thereby giving them a ~30 bit unique identifier for as long as the file is cached?
> ...For me it’s the white boarding. Wow did I miss whiteboarding...

Thank goodness i'm not the only one! Honestly, the only things that i like about office work are white boarding, and lunch with others (or alternatively grabbing an occasional beer...basically socializing regardless of how it happnes). Everything else about working at a physical office space is awful. It doesn't matter if the building is some old, falling-apart relic, or a sleek, modrn office....all of them are awful...and the things i noted above can be achieved in any cheap oiffice space - including ones where everyone has their own private space/office.

No, git uses a merkle tree, which the blockchain also uses. That’s the only similarity. It doesn’t rely on a massively distributed system to get the next time stamp for the next commit.

Git is decentralised, not distributed. You get the whole git database (for want of a better word) when you clone it, unless you use the —unshallow option.

git does not implement a block-chain.
I am not sure what I am missing here.

If you are doing a call through the airplane wifi connection you could already do that.

If you are doing a GSM call I doubt that you will be able to have any reception at cruise altitude?

This means people will only be calling or messaging shortly before/after take off (which they were doing anyway) which well, changes nothing other than not getting asked by airplane staff to enable flight mode.

Its not really grey at all actually. You are allowed to use copyrighted material in criticism (so long as its only what's needed for criticism, you cant just play a full movie as a loophole). How good or correct the criticism is, is totally irrelavent. This feels like an open and shut example where using the work would be ok.

If you think someone is lying, or ruining your reputation, that is what libel laws are for, not copyright.

When in doubt, look at the flow of money
At the first place I worked, I thought I'd be a lifer. They moved my division to a different country, and I followed it there. They sold it to another company, and I stuck with it. They it suffered a takeover by a bunch of wall street pump-and-dump scammers who ran it into the ground. I took the "stay bonus" to stick with them when times were tough and the end was near. Then a vendor bought the assets of the company, kept me around for a couple months to train their guys, then laid me off. Ironically the original parent company is still around and going strong. I know lifers there.

At the second place I worked, I thought I'd be a lifer. It was run by a weasel who knew how to take money from investors and redirect a good portion of it into his own pockets. I stuck with the company when angry investors managed to oust the CEO and put a new guy in charge. Well he was an alcoholic who slipped down the stairs in his mansion, broke his neck, and died [for real!] so I stuck with the company when a new investors decided to stabilize the company by buying our biggest competitor and merging with them. But unfortunately that led to redundant people and product offerings so they forced me to lay off all 20 of my programmers and then lay myself off.

Since then I've hopped around every few years [sometimes by choice; sometimes by circumstance]. I'm probably still too loyal, but I'm 50 now and getting a bit weary of change.
Yes, CATS looks great, hadn't heard of it before!
That's an interesting statement. Can you expand? I'm genuinely curious.
I think you're talking about the truth of the matter, but I'm talking about what motivated the creation of the program in the first place. Economic liberals wanted unrestricted access to labor regardless of borders, protectionists in the U.S. did not want to compete against labor from other countries, and the H1B visa program came out of that conflict.
What autoexec said was almost entirely factual and does not qualify remotely as "hate".
ADHD meds enable focus, but I find that I still struggle with picking the right tasks to focus on. I think picking the right tasks is a weaker skill for me, probably because I didn’t start to develop that skill until I was well into adulthood (and medicated for ADHD).
Nah, that doesn't ring true to me. I got into plenty of scraps during the summer when I was a kid. Nothing that rose to the asymmetry I would describe as bullying, but certainly it was violence. And besides the overt fights, many of the games we played were essentially organized fights.

Maybe things are different now, with kids spending too much time indoors playing video games instead of running around in the woods. But I think violence is generally an outcome from boys being together and relatively unsupervised. The insidious part about violence in schools is the double-jeopardy you face from administration; first you get your ass kicked by the bully, then you get your ass kicked again by the bureaucracy putting you through the wringer.
Yes, the veil of ignorance (original position) is a very important idea. It doesn't come from Rawls though. Both Vickrey and Harsanyi wrote about it earlier (and perhaps better, since they didn't introduce implausible assumptions like infinite risk aversion).
This is the kind of overly cynical philosophy that ends up defeating itself. Obviously it can Pascal's Wager itself away (i.e. it's rational to not have this philosophy as it will tend to make one sad and ineffective with no clear benefits other than convincing yourself of your own intelligence).

More importantly some of the premises are suspect at best. Intelligence doesn't reliably cause one to see the truth of the world, and it's not obvious how to evaluate whether the world is good in the first place. It's further unclear that said goodness would make smart people happy, or that its absence would make smart people unhappy.

I think this is a horrible idea. Text is a terrible format to convey sarcasm, and it has nothing to do with how good one is at writing. If you must use sarcasm on text based forums like this, it's much better to use an explicit sarcasm marker just to avoid the inevitable 300 response long sub-thread of people arguing about something that was never even intended to be taken seriously in the first place.

That said, it's probably better to just not use sarcasm at all in settings like this.
>These assaults are actually even more critical to address in childhood because as they are allowed to form patterns that persist in criminal assaults and fraud in adulthood.

It's this kind of logic that creates it actually. Trying to create Uber safe environments for hypothetical outcomes results in those behaviors being suppressed and mutated later. Children are designed to bully, the same as every other mammal species plays when young. If they were not, you wouldn't find it in every place where children are throughout the planet.

We can only mitigate severe effects. Smaller schools is the most significant step, but it will never happen.

> as flying requires a state of constant change of focus

That didn't work too well for me, since I'd hyperfocus on one thing (my heading, rate of turn, altitude, etc) and develop blindspots to the other 5 instruments. Not to mention radios and checklists and visuals and maps, etc.

And god forbid I had to use my flight computer (the rotary slide-rule type, ipads didn't exist then). That thing was pure crack to my brain.

Instrument flying is when these weaknesses became most apparent to me. VFR was enough like driving a car that it wasn't as much of an issue.
