Eh. When you take it the first time the euphoria is more that you can focus and the mind becomes quieter. It’s not like a party drug

you're doing a lot of imagining all over this thread. none of it is really based in any kind of objective reality.

i'm confused as to why you think you're suddenly the arbiter of the lived experience of others? all of the questions you're asking are things that are easily found online, but something makes me think you're not after kn

100 years ago people smoked like chimneys and were basically self-medicating with nicotine. The classic 'coffee and a cigarette' breakfast is the most ADHD-coded thing imaginable.

Do you have ADHD? Because as someone that has it, it's definitely very much something that heavily impacts the individual with it, and not just society. It's hard to consistent do things, form habits, maintain attention. You have

Too many psychiatrists do very little continuing education in their practice. I have heard more than a few try to asset that ADHD can only be diagnosed for children. As if a neurodevelopmental disorder just magically vanishes when you hit a

in my own family line it is painfully obvious that it's a heritable disorder.

You may have misunderstood my comment because I'm arguing that openai's valuation implies a level of value capture that doesn't look realistic.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that's highly inheritable.

And yet, study after study doesn't actually show any of that. What happens is that ADHD tend to progress as you get older

honestly I only find that happens when the medication is wearing off. I'm much more spatially aware when its working and that leads to fewer accidental injuries, I see a huge difference in my driving, parking, etc.

US has highly automated manufacturing but only in a few industries where they're still competitive or have trade protections. Though I feel like generally the narrative being spun for folks is that factory jobs largely got automated, w

The chemical thing kinda worked out. Eastman Chemical is the spinout from that and they're a $9B annual business. The folks running Kodak kind of forgot that Kodak was really a chemicals company that supported photography, not a photog

the magic quadrant is essentially a stack ranking of 'how much money are you paying us vs how much money we think we can get out of you'. that's how you end up in scenarios where some shit IBM product is leading the chart aga

Eh. They're not wrong. A lot of folks still pay Gartner money to be on their lists, but it's more of a feeling that you have to, and not because it actually leads to any results. Having worked in both corporate and startup worlds,

Sure but so do like a dozen other companies. Given that models bump past each other every few months, I haven’t seen anything that says they have any kind of competitive advatange.

Maybe the better analogy for LLM businesses isn’t SaaS but more like power generation. If AI really becomes that ubiquitous then OpenAI capturing that value is no less ridiculous than ComEd capturing the value of every application of electr

local-first sandboxed envs for AI coding seems like the right idea, esp. compared to shipping all your code/context off to openai/anthropic. my main concern would be infra overhead. enterprise setups always end up messy, but if th

You'd still use RAG, just use MCP to more easily connect an LLM to your RAG pipeline

its most about where they have and don't have power. the goal is acquisition of power, not some kind of principled stand.

We're talking about an IDE, switching is pretty frictionless.

Blowing things up like that is mostly for people who want to feel important. It's a bad leadership model and fairly disrespectful to your employees IMO

You should have countered with 95/5 in reverse, because if you can't code, nothing is getting done anyways.

The business side needs to have subject matter expertise in the market, running an org, fundraising, marketing, etc. 'ideas guys' are pretty worthless without that. 80/20 is an insane proposal; 50/50 feels reasonable, bu
