I’m also someone with ADHD and I think looking at all the steps from here to there really discourages me.

I read a quote recently that said that great things don’t just happen, they’re the accumulation of consistent daily efforts.

I really want to make a publish a game after ~20 years of making (the majority of some) games as a hobby.

My route there, as someone who also has a hard time forming habits, is to really push to do _anything_ to further my game every single day.

That might be just sketching a mechanic in my notebook, or starting the MC’s character model, or even just emailing my game dev friends asking for feedback.

My hope is that the accumulation of these daily acts will get me there.
It may take longer than others who can stay focused for more than 30 mins at a time, and that’s ok.

This is my path and my game.
wow. How to test? I tried my old account on icq dot com but doesnt seem to exist.
Damn, I guess you’re hypothetically really resilient to that sort of thing
It's a low-skill job that just about anyone can do. Almost all jobs of this sort will be eliminated with technology/automation ESPECIALLY since higher labor wages put upward pressure on operating costs.

i.e.: once self-driving vehicles come onto the scene (as in ubiquitous) there won't be a labor force to worry about.

Not all neural network models are necessarily very large, or language models:

For example, many chess engines these days are already based on neural networks, and these run pretty well in WASM (for example, Stockfish, one of the strongest engines, has a 7M and a 44M version on lichess.org), but as far as I understand that's mostly because they're optimized for CPU usage.

It would be pretty cool to be able to run similar specialized models on the best execution resources a device has available and not just the CPU (or maybe a GPU via WebGPU).

> the information loss is not deterministic

It is technically possible to make it deterministic.

The main reason you don't deterministic outputs today is that Cuda/GPU optimizations make the calculations run much faster if you let them be undeterministic.

The internal GPU scheduler will then process things in the order it thinks is fastest.

Since floating point is not associative, you can get different results for (a + (b + c)) and ((a + b) + c).
You can just do the equivalent of a blue-green deployment: you have two copies of the firmware, a flag that tells you which is active, and a tiny bootloader that respects that flag on startup. At any point during regular operation the firmware can update the other copy, and once done toggle the flag. Next time the scooter is started it uses the new version. If the device is shut down during update it continues to boot from the old version, and just tries again next time. Bonus points if you have a small watchdog that toggles the flag if the current version fails to boot.

Almost all coated clothes use permethrin or a similar pyrethroid. It's fairly effective but I often have issues with ticks coming off my dog much later and getting on me. I look forward to this (or a lyme vaccine) making it to market - the ticks are already pretty bad this year in the midwest.

Watch for long grass along deer trails. During a particularly bad tick year (Wisconsin) I could walk along the deer trail by our swamp and just count the ticks hanging out on the ends of the green swamp grass. I did not spend much time outside that spring.

I see absolutely no reason why clean UX should manifest as a result of market forces. Media consumers, on average, are clearly unwilling to pay for ad-free experiences.
Regarding social media, there are rather a lot of social media platforms: FB-Instagram-WhatsApp, TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat, LinkedIn, StackOverflow, plus platforms like the neighborhood app whose name I can't remember. A new social media platform can get rapid adoption, too, like TikTok. So I'm not sure that the barriers to entry are actually all that high, even with the network effect. The barrier to entry to building New FB is pretty high even without the network effect (knowledge, code, and worldwide servers to maintain a high reliability, always-available worldwide app, along with the sales/marketing to support the ad revenue). But even in an industry with obviously low barriers, soft drinks, nobody makes New Coke, you make a drink with a different flavor. (Even Coke could get New Coke to work!)

Wholeheartedly agree with you, but I want to check my own understanding, which is: iLok became this weird monopoly because it let all the makers of actual music software stop doing all this weird shit, right? Like hiding registration details on your computer, making hardware dongles, etc.

Back in the ... 1990s, I think? It was like Cubase had their dongle, Studio Vision had... I forget, but something... but eventually they just mostly all went iLok. I dabble in music computer stuff for fun, and I feel like outside of Linux, it has been 15 years or so that it is basically just de facto all-iLok. Even though I am buying from like 10 or more companies.

I feel like we are now to the "inevitable result" part of any company gaining that kind of monopoly.

Yes because the greedy capitalists will obviously keep this valuable technology all to themselves, hoarding it away so they alone can revel in its delights. Give me a break, this isn’t 1924, we know how things actually play out. The capitalists want to sell you a product and that is fundamentally at odds with hoarding beneficial technology. They will deliver those benefits straight to your door faster, cheaper and better than any socialized pipedream ever could. If you somehow seize these means I have no doubt they’ll only be available to top party members due to their great expense and the considered opinion that the average worker has no need for such tools in their assigned role.

I'm very interested in sources indicating that this legislation is supported by the majority of ride share drivers. Though, to be fair, if 10 out of 1,000 ride share drivers are supporting this legislation it's technically honest to "[an unspecified proportion of] drivers are choosing to lobby their city government for this increase."

The wording was imprecise, but to the website owner, this is a distinction without a difference. Just because a civil law system is in use versus common law, you still need judges to interpret what the law is. Their decisions may not be binding in the way precedent is in common law systems, but they are still important in determining what might be legal or illegal in the face of ambiguous laws (that is, all laws)

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, at 31 years old. It made so much sense.

The idea of your "future self" is actually what helped me improve my ability to form habits.

"If I do X, Y, Z, today, then tomorrow I only have to do A and I have all this free time. Let me be miserable today so I don't have to be stressed tomorrow and I can do anything I want."

It allowed me to unleash my ADHD and kind of embrace it almost on alternating days.

One of Hal Hershfield's talk's had mentioned that we always imagine our "Future Self" will be less busy than we are today, so we won't over extend ourselves today, because tomorrow you'll be less stressed. But this isn't usually the case.

For example: You won't have any more ability to make it to the bank tomorrow, than you do today. So if you do it today, tomorrow you won't even have to think about it. Your ADHD is less likely to fire off with all the other things you "have to do". If you only have one task, you can kind of just do it.

This has been a game changer mentality for my executive function disorder.

It sounds like you had an ALH TDI engined MKIV TDI - probably one of the most reliable and cheapest to own cars ever made- and thought it was garbage because you didn't want to pay for the 100k mile service regular timing belt job?

I'll admit they are somewhat of an odd duck- most of the problems are caused by regular mechanics not understanding them -problems a hobbyist or enthusiast would avoid by learning from others. The required maintenance is simpler and cheaper than most any other car- just different...

For example, your issues with the "exhaust manifold coked up" - I am nearly certain you are actually talking about the intake manifold, an issue that is 100% eliminated by tuning the EGR and injection system properly. Morover, it only takes a few minutes of work to pull it off and clean it out in the garage, no replacement needed.

I love these cars so much that I convinced a few non-mechanically minded friends and family to buy them, and they were unmitigated disasters for them. Almost entirely from either skipping essential regularly scheduled maintenance, or taking it to incompetent mechanics that did the maintenance incorrectly.

I'm so old I first accessed World Wide Web through email :)

Back in '96 I was browsing a computer magazine and happened upon a listing of useful mailing lists, one of which returned the contents of web pages for a requested HTTP address. Same magazine had an install CD for the free Juno email service.

Being a teenager, the first web page I ever requested was www.idsoftware.com (Doom was big), which returned a gibberish of text to Juno's email client. It was an HTML file full of IMG tags (one of those "Click here to enter" gateway pages), but I had no idea what I was looking at at the time. Somehow figured out to open the file in IE2 and saw... a bunch of broken images :)

I still vividly remember the sense of wonder that the early Internet evoked.

> The city or municipality can guarantee land it owns can have natural growth on it

Only if the city/municipality has money to do so. A degenerate example is where the city/municipality own all of the land and thus has no real estate tax base. You may think that this is ridiculous, but check out some blighted areas around the US and you'll see plenty of local governments that have a very shallow real estate tax base reminiscent of the "ridiculous" argument.
Humans also need human data. You might be better than I, but at least for myself, I know that I am just a weighted pattern matcher with a some stochasticity mixed in.

I don't think the idea of painstakingly writing out a book, and then having a printing press propagate your book so that all can easily reproduce the idea in their own mind, is so very different.

I think this is why the real conversation here is about the lossiness of the data, where the "data" is conveying a fundamental idea. Put another way, human creativity is iterative, and the reason we accept "innovative" ideas is that we have a shared understanding of a body of work, a canon, and the real innovation is taking the canon and mixing it up with one new innovation.

I'm not even arguing that AI is net good or bad for humanity. Just that it really isn't so different than the printing press. And like the Bible was to the printing press, I think the dominant AI model will greatly shape human output for a very long time, as the new "canon" in an otherwise splintered society, for good and for bad.

Proprietary models, with funding and existing reach (like the Catholic Church when the Gutenberg press came along), will dominate the mental space. We already have Martin Luther's nailing creeds to the door of that church, though.

Still, writing by hand does still have special meaning, encoding additional information that is not conveyed by printing press. But then as now, that additional meaning is mostly only accessible to those closest to you, that have more shared experiences with you.

I'll accept that there's an additional distinction, though, since layers of communication will be imported and applied without understanding of their context; ideas replaced, filled in, rather than stripped. But let's be honest: every interpretation of a text was already distinct and uniquely an individual's own, albeit likely similar to those that shared an in-group.

AI upsets the balance between producers and consumers, but not in the way that it's easier for more people to be producers, but in this day in age, that there is so little time left to be a consumer when everyone you know can be such a prolific producer.

Edit: typewriters and printing presses also need human data
This article is full of fluff, like too many long-form articles on the Internet, but contains some interesting questions for those of us who study bats...

- Bats evolved for a night-flying niche to avoid predation by birds like hawks and owls. In such a high latitude there is little true night, so how do they adapt?

- White-Nose Syndrome is so deadly (90% to 99% mortality for Myotis species) because it thrives in the cold, humid temperatures that bats rely on for hibernating overwinter, and its high mortality rate is related to the fact that these bats cluster together shoulder-to-shoulder in great numbers (tens, hundreds, thousands, tens-of-thousands of individuals) allowing the fungus to spread rapidly when introduced by an individual. These populations of Little Brown Bat in Alaska don't roost in traditional cave/mine roosts in high numbers. How does this affect WNS spread, mortality, and these populations' ability to survive?

- Hibernating bats do so to wait out the winter, where there is unfriendly weather and no night-flying insects for food. The Alaskan "winter" is incredibly long and severe, meaning that these Little Brown populations must have an extra reliance on hibernation for survival. How does this affect their susceptibility to WNS?

Also, the photo of ~7 clustered bats roosting in an attic has an incorrect caption; these are Big Brown Bats (Eptesicus fuscus), not Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus).

I would love to have this pill available and don't see this as an issue. The ticks numbers really spike for about a month in the spring when they come out in force which is when I'd probably try to be on something like this. When spring dries out and turns to summer ticks are far less common here (Wisconsin) so you probably wouldn't be on it. Sometimes you'll get a little uptick in the fall but spring is the only time I'm really concerned about it.
Yeah Bud, we all have different definitions for words in our heads that are based on our individual understanding and experience of reality - we have things like dictionaries to establish an agreed upon definition but few people actually know those definitions, they just have a functional understanding of what words mean.

We just pretend we all actually are operating with the Merriam-Webster definitions bc it's easier.

Words are just to convey ideas - if you can pickup what someone means contextually but you choose to ignore that and focus on incorrect word use, you've missed the point of communication
