I find amphetamines works pretty well for me.

That’d be nice, I take Adderall every day and still weigh 300 pounds. It wears off and I crave ice cream like none other.

I fired up T100 instance of Google Collab and got something usable in about an hour of being focused on what it was I wanted, using in painting and having it redraw some parts (I was trying to get a guy holding a guitar, hands are hard and

The ice giant thermosiphon seems to be the state of the art right now from what I’ve seen. To the point where that’s being used by the world’s top overclocker instead of water cooling loops. If I were building a system I’d just slap one of

I just benchmarked from my suburban second floor bedroom in the US, and got mmWave (it says 5G UC which is apparently mmWave) and got 500mbit/sec So I guess some people have it, and use it? It’s basically always on around my neighborho

There are no integers in JavaScript, only double precision floating point numbers.

Ah yes, and then if you try to tell even the slightest bit controversial story about say, adventuring in an ancient Egyptian city with slaves, that will be flagged as hateful content and you’ll be banned from D&D forever.

It’s possible the Illinois farmland will be able to start planting two full crops [0]. Their trends have tended towards more rainfall and a longer growing season with a later frost. By mid century they might be able to fit two crops into a

Okay for image models I think humans could help a lot more than we give them credit for. We can read and parse images WAY faster than you might think. What if we just crowdsource and have a new Folding@home protein thing but this time it’s

When I was training Dreambooth on images of myself, then trying to get tags out of the images it generated of me to write better prompts, I clicked “booru tags” on automatic1111 not knowing what it was. It thought I was some sort of Yaoi ma

Curious, did you start smoking in your teens? I smoked hookah every day for about a year when I was 25 because I vastly preferred it to going out to bars and it seemed to be an acceptable social alternative. Then I quit. I never crave cigar

My previous team lead started coding at 38. Before that he was working at Walgreens. You can definitely start your career over in your 30s.

They were not illegal. We weren’t breaking any laws just nobody was having parties, bars were mostly empty, just in general people weren’t inviting friends over. I’ve seen no uptick in parties since then. Pre Covid we often got invited to S

Interestingly, we started having parties around October 2020 with other libertarians that were fed up with Covid restrictions. Our house became known as a bit of a party spot, we’re in our mid-30s and spent some money to make everything nic

The thing doesn’t even have to be particularly common to actually drive people away. They just have to think it’s common enough. You’re absolutely right though that that’s a blind in the assessment. My wife went to exactly one college party

What? You can watch Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and do a ton of other things that absolutely don’t require an iOS or macOS device to activate it.

I got my wife a Boox and it’s just a modified Android (watching a YouTube video on an e-ink screen is good for a laugh). She likes it a lot. It’s nice too since it’s completely open so you can add whatever apps you want to it.

Interesting, I get this flow state where the world falls away when I have a good programming task for work and I can accomplish a Herculean amount of work in a day. At the end of the day it feels like it was in a blink of an eye and I feel

Based on the stuff Wizards of the Coast considers racist, it’d be really easy to unintentionally be caught up in their nullifying your license too. This includes changing language around a race of evil, gypsy like people that are subservien

The top overclocker right now isn’t even using water cooling, he’s using The Ice Giant coolers which uses a thermosiphon with fans to cool the CPU. They’re chunky and can only work if your motherboard is sideways or flat on the ground (othe

B&H Photos (a place that sells far more electronics than just photography stuff) disables their ordering system on their website during Shabbat. Even for Black Friday, which could potentially result in them losing business. I can respec

You’re getting downvoted which to me shows just how dangerous the “pass regulations” crowd actually is. Modern advice about nutrition is confusing and muddled and contradictory, and if you lose 100 pounds eating only beef and eggs and that’

Passing regulation assumes we actually know what’s best for everyone. I lost 80 pounds eating Johnsonville Beddar Cheddar Sausages and sauerkraut every day for six months, definitely something that’s “too fatty”.

I am aware. I made sure my kids are aware too, shown them videos as part of their home schooling curriculum, so they won’t be blindsided by it when they’re older. I also told them that’s why they exist and it’s fine and I don’t care, becaus

You know it’s funny that you mention that. I switched to really high end eggs that taste delicious. They were $8 a dozen in 2020 and have stayed at that price. There must be something that they do different in their business that makes thes

Hey thanks for that! I tried to remember what I was like ten years ago and was definitely “severely depressed”, the first link said that. I was constantly agitated and anxious, had insomnia, would call people crying at 3am, and was obsessed

Antidepressants were weird for me because they just made me temporarily satisfied with my life going nowhere and working a terrible job that I hated. Also when I got off of Paxil I felt like I was being dropped down an elevator shaft for mo

It might be difficult for virtual tabletop software called “roll20” to pivot away from the concept of using 20 sided dice to make decisions and determine success at an activity.

Richard Garfield made Magic the Gathering and was given carte blanche by Valve to make Artifact, and it bombed spectacularly. Just because you bottled lightning once, doesn’t mean you can do it ever again.
