On the chemical note, I found glycine supplementation to be actually helpful in avoiding hyperfixation (not being able to stop on a task). In contrast, stimulant meds solve the issue of not being able to start on a task (not enough motivati

Preach, this is a great post. The author has approximated the same system I (and many others) independently found to be working well for themselves. The bad news is that it’s very hard, if not impossible, to teach masses with ADHD all these

He looks authentic. You’d be surprised how varied and ridiculous people’s ideas about how the world works can get when they have some intelligence, some ignorance, and a little bit too much self confidence. Doesn’t seem harmful to anybody e

It appears my parent comment is misunderstood. I myself am improving every day, but I was once in a darker place, and that was through no fault of my own. I don't see any dreams: the issues we talk about here are systemic, the human ra

I assume they are intentionally not very vocal, probably still maturing/scaling their platform. Until recently they were a stealth startup. The stuff they are doing is truly revolutionary.

Israel has enormous leverage over the US administration, through the AIPAC, a money laundering operation disguised as political lobbying, ensuring a steady flow of money from the US treasury to Israel govt. and right back to the Congress.

That's the weird thing about neurodivergence. I forced myself for a year to finally "come out of my shell" and socialize in the college. On the surface I succeeded, got a friend group, hanging out frequently. Nothing improved

I actually find I don't need to use any GUI tools with jj because I can actually understand what's going on under the hood since the mental model is much simpler. It helps that jj has excellent visualizations straight in the term

You write a nix package, modify other nix packages in nixpkgs, write overlays, and so on. Nix can package any software, build containers or OS images, the sky is not the limit. But first you have to invest (estimated) 2-3 weeks to learn it

Heh, I know people who are using a Windows PC for decades yet legitimately don't know what "Windows" is. They have a PC. They work in Word. They browse in Chrome. They have no knowledge whatsoever as to what Windows is.

No, it's real. I have AuDHD and very strictly defined routines are how I manage to function day-to-day. It's not a productivity hack or how I'll be a billionaire in 5 years though, like scrollheads often promote. It's ju
