Thank you.

Absolutely zero caffeine or stimulants. Caffeine makes me feel sick so I've never gotten into the habit of drinking it and I've found it doesn't really help my "alertness" when I'm tired anyway.

I admit I might sound a bit bitter in these comments, but mentally I think I'm healthier and stronger than I've ever been. I used to struggle with depression and anxiety when I was younger so I learned mental strategies to pull my

They're more of a bandage than a solution. Any "true" sleeping pill has to be tapered, so at best you can only take them for a few months at a time before they become ineffective due to tolerance. In my experience, they'

I don't really know if I can answer that question because I have no point of reference to what's "normal." It wasn't until high school that I found out it wasn't normal to take 3-4 hours to fall asleep every ni

I appreciate the sentiment, but trust me: if there's a "solution" out there, I've tried it (Yes, I have in fact heard of melatonin! No, it doesn't help, thank you.) My chronic insomnia is "primary" meaning

That's exactly it. I'm in a perpetual state of being "tired", but rarely ever (outside of specific timing windows) in a state of being sleepy. This is partly because I also have a correlated condition called "Delaye

As someone who's been a chronic primary insomniac my whole life, I would not be surprised if I die young despite being very physically fit and healthy. My constant sleep deprivation has already taken a significant toll on my capacity t

uBlock's element hider + keyword filters for page elements has made Facebook and sites like this useable again. https://i.imgur.com/AbBnPo3.jpg

It's been a while since I've checked so I may be wrong on this, but deleting your reddit account will remove the username while preserving the content. Deleting your comment without deleting your account will preserve both. Reddit

For people who use Reddit, deleted comments only remove the username and not the content, making it trivial to trace back the original poster. If you delete posts/comments regularly use Shreddit which overwrites the content before dele

The real barrier to entry to ML is statistics. Most computer science degrees require an intro to statistics class, but if you really want to understand ML and where it should and can be applied appropriately you need a much deeper understan

It used to be better when (presumably) they had more consistent delivery. They used to offer a month of free Prime membership when your package came late, but now they've been instructed to only offer the credits on additional orders.

AI is further enabling oppression in China which is already arguably the world's largest surveillance state. For example, using AI and the government's ID database, crosswalk cameras are now able to facially identify "chronic

All modern gallery apps have some rudimentary photo recognition, but I haven't found any but Google's that will allow you to search terms like "topless/nude" and find accurate results. I would never store photos lik

Meanwhile their image recognition gets better and better. For those of you who use Google Photos backup, try a keyword image search in Google Drive sometime of your untagged photos ("beach", "face," etc.) You'll be

Chrome history may as well be useless and/or developed by the same people who created Reddit search.

Pretty much. I was still using the original Galaxy S when the Galaxy S6 was the hot new toy. I was able to use it despite its archaic hardware on the latest versions of Android because I forced the CPU to always run at maximum speed instead

Unfortunately, this is even more true in college. Policy debate teams are well funded at universities (the policy team at mine has a 6 figure budget) because they essentially conduct research writing cases on gun control, drug policy, healt

I don't think I included this one my list either, but I agree. I'll also give a plug to r/soccer. If you follow the games then those subreddits are actually incredibly useful and a huge amount of fun, as they usually have &qu

Disagree. r/science is awful and filled with a bunch of sensationalist headlines. r/askscience is much, much better because it's one of the few subs that's still very strictly moderated to remove innacurate or off topic

How are they not learning effectively? And do you have any sources or evidence to back up your claims of cheating or bribing teachers? Workload isn't an issue. It isn't like kids aren't capable of sitting for hours upon hours

by Puer 13y ago
How come they don't seem to have this problem in China, India or Germany? It isn't that kids can't handle the workload, the problem is the boring curriculum.

Are there any possible legal repercussions? I mean, yeah, if they made upwards of 12 million dollars from their site then banning it from reddit isn't exactly going to hurt them...
