Instead of comp, here’s a pool table. That’ll keep everyone in the office!

My favorite way to end brushing my teeth.

I had not thought about having the sunscreen leech into the water. Thank you for educating!

How do you will yourself to the right thing? Is it a matter of creating the right environment? Being mindful?

Yeah, but one day the thousands of browser bookmarks will come in handy. Right?

The per degree temp control is a huge win along with the spout. Itll also stay warm for 30mins, optional beeps when done heating, and you can have it boil water automatically for a specific time. I really enjoy mine.

I have the same one. Mainly got it for temp control for white tea and figured having per degree control was a huge plus. Plus it’s so nice artistically

Ugh, I hate that this resonates.

Does medication help with this?

I was recently diagnosed from a neuro-psych. Similar process of many hours of testing (~5h). My friend was also diagnosed recently from a psychiatrist through question answer, but no formal cognitive evaluation measure. The amount of clarity I got from the neuro-psych in terms of cognitive function and my specific circumstances was significantly more helpful than what my friend got from the psychiatrist.

After all the formal testing, I was given a thorough 17 page report including a breakdown of each aspect of cognitive functioning, any applicable disorders (with recommendation for therapy to investigate further and confirm), next steps, and treatment and coping mechanism recommendations. My friend was given a broad diagnosis of unspecified ADHD with no additional information.

If you are able to afford the neuropsych eval, it is well worth it.

Exactly.

At the end of the day people like him are allowed to have so much influence because of regulations (or lack there of). Tax them, hold them accountable legally, something.

No! Adding it to the watchlist, thanks!

It’s crazy to me that we live in a world where money and celebrity implies influence, and credentials don’t mean much on a general public stage. This man can tweet something insane and its taken as a serious discussion point.

Given that money can buy influence, it is a legitimate risk to society, I get that. But how crazy is that as a concept?

This is an article from 2015 where Facebook/Meta was exploring Blu-ray for their DCs. You’re definitely right though. Tape is key as the longest term storage.

This is such a great example of the potential consequences of making a decision without understanding the landscape/context. It’s obvious this would happen in hindsight.

Super cool, blew my mind! I would love to see it in operation. The logistics from the machine side + the storage heuristics for when to store to a disc that’s write-only sounds like a really cool problem.

There was an article recently about this (too lazy to search it). It’s already starting to happen. If most of the content they train on is the internet and more internet content is created by LLMs without being tagged as AI generated content (can’t be guaranteed by all actors), then it’s inevitable. High signal training data is out the window.

There are also techniques where data centers do offline storage by writing out to a high volume storage medium (I heard blueray as an example, especially because it’s cheap) and storing it in racks. All automated of course. This let’s them store huge quantities of infrequently accessed data (most of it) in a more efficient way. Not everything has to be online and ready to go, as long as it’s capable of being made available on demand.

Well now I’m grabbing ramen for dinner.

The pork looks incredible. Is that from a flattop? oven broil?

I agree. I much prefer text stuff. It’s hard deny the shift though. Looking at TikTok as an extreme example, a whole generation is getting their news from someone doing a dance while two other videos play of cutting playdough. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but I do think it’s really hurting our ability as a species to exist without attention hacking.

If you’ve managed to exist outside of that band of information exchange, I commend you.

Attention spans. News content these days are moving to video other text to better grab your attention. When everything is really engaging, you have to be more engaging than that to get seen.
