Never stopped. The reason why I started medication was because I switched to a therapist who convinced me that I wasn't going to be a deranged drug addict.

Getting chemically treated for ADHD is one of the life-changing moments for me. I spent most of my teen years learning "good habits" thru counseling and all that jazz. It wasn't until I started Vyvanse that all those "go

FWIW I ran a startup that provided you with a program (single binary) that allowed you to run natural language queries on your database across most schemas. It had a full semantics layers which translated your query into a mixed-lambda calc

This is something that will also be covered in the talk by Raphael Poss of Cockroach Labs for the upcoming Go systems conference ( https://systemsconf.io?utm_source=chewxyhn&utm_campaign=go_s... ) The conclusion is that panics

Yes you can. The "universal" format is ONNX. You can even do crazy things like this: https://blog.owulveryck.info/2018/06/11/recurrent-neural-net...

OK you piqued my curiosity. How?

I thought the story of the kidnapping sounded a little familiar. And so TIL that Murder on the Orient Express was based on that real life story.

Funnily I litery just finished reading The Archimedes Codex by Reviel Nets and William Noel this evening. I highly recommend it. Part detective story, part rediscovery. Very easy to read.

Ouch. I found PLA to have less flex. PETG has a lot more flex. Also, what is the point of a solar tracker? We can all tell where the sun is...
