There is a lot of data that meditation is beneficial for people with ADHD and potentially even more so since they “need it more”. Yes it is extremely challenging which is why in my parent I stated that according to what I have read, it take

Stimulants are still first line therapy for treating ADHD but I think mindfulness meditation is wholly underrated. People with ADHD have too much activity and overly-robust neural nets in the default-mode network in comparison to healthy co

I found it strange that John Carmack and Ilya Sutskever both left prestigious positions within their companies to pursue AGI as if they had some proprietary insight that the rest of industry hadn't caught on to. To make as bold of a ca

I don't know, I hear this advice all the time and I think people are just not looking hard enough. I invested in Seattle between 2017-2022 and have several properties here that are cash flowing. For example, for an $800k house you woul

This is of course true if your house is not income producing. If you rent out rooms of your house, the calculus changes considerably. …and now having viewed their calculator, I find it disingenuous that they haven’t added this as an additio

How has shipping high quality products using AI generated tailwind components actually been working for you? I think the problem that I and many others have/had, is that it can certainly build a few components that look good in isolati

by nikkwong 1y ago
100% this. People have all of these highfalutin arguments about tailwind being the wrong abstraction/non idiomatic etc. But, as someone who writes a lot of CSS—not having to jump back and forth between a CSS file and a HTML file is a g

What about the components on Blendful[0]? I agree that everything themed with Tailwind looks the same—but I think it's because the starter templates that are popularly used basically have the same look and feel, which is what this site

Enlighten me as to what's wrong with the Osaka train station? Conceivably I would imagine that it's built with a bit of a buffer to handle the demand that such an infrastructure project could eventually service. What do you think

I guess I see this as somewhat different. These people are proactively choosing to maintain a relationship with a physician for an elective $50/month. I think the type of patient who wants a type of this relationship is the type who is

How could this possibly work out for her financially? To make 120k a year, she would have to be doing this with.. 200 patients; and I think the average GP makes a bit more than that in the US. That doesn't like a good bargain on her en

Machinists also produce semi-durable assets. Should we depreciate the output of their labor, too? Like others in the thread, I view this as an assault on blue states or maybe to soften my vindictive tone, as an assault on those who are not

You're advertising your rose-colored glasses strongly, my friend. In a perfect world, of course—you're correct. But hiring, project management, and resource allocation are messy endeavors, so your point only rings true under ideal

This comment must be parody. Certainly you can't be serious. In the off chance hat you are, obviously, I must state. Crimes happen as a result of incentive structures. If there were a huge aftermarket for stolen iPhones, iPhone theft

I'm not saying it's going to replace it fully—the bigger the budget, the more room there could be allotted to artists like the ones you've mentioned. Yes, I enjoy their music with my entirety—Hans Zimmer especially. But on th
