I know people who limit heavily usage of the devices (1-2h per day at most), but those kids have Instagram, FB etc., even though kids are way too young to use this kind of tech (<10 years old, so accounts would be locked out if reported)

> Furthermore, Wildcards thrive with new tasks and suffer from repetitive ones. They also have a hard time staying outwardly organized. That’s an ADHD signature. I’d say huge chunk of article describes “managed” ADHD. I have an argument

It’s easy to reason. It’s a shell that takes commands first and not designed programming language. I have no idea what 1st would evaluate (guess is that PICK is empty and can is run with you as an arg with PICK as execution context) Second

On the other hand I’ve had vastly different experience. Every single time I went to GPT and ask for anything development related I came back empty handed after being send for the goose chase. An example of this would be when I asked fswatch

I was curious and decided to check - there’s Wikipedia page about it. Looks like it Pratchett wasn’t first and took from general wisdom but that specific anecdote was popularized by the book. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&

It’s quite common. I heard exact same anecdote about boots from my grandfather loooong time ago. It’s possible that author hadn’t had chance to hear in “in the wild”. I believe it’s one of those wisdoms passed from generation to generation

Access to “high end” care (which I suppose would be one) is already high cost which is not that accessible even with technology presence. As of 2019 1/3 of world’s population doesn’t have access to clean drinking water. Would they be g

For a counter thought: while I absolutely agree with you in terms of richness of life, I don’t think pursuing endless life is a sound idea. As parent poster wrote, we like nostalgia, because we clutch to our experiences. We compare them ins

I definitely agree with the sentiment about GPT. It's a really powerful tool that can produce some really impressive outputs, but of course, it does have its limitations. One of the things I really like about it is that it's not a

Hadn’t had the chance to try it but it’d be interesting to know what languages were used and for languages with regional variety (e.g. Canadian/French French) can it distinguish between them.

A passing thought: language. GPT is built on English which is international and I’d bet it has the most content to train on available. Maybe at some point Chinese will be added but as far as I know Chinese isn’t as homogenized, and dependin

The premise seems cool but the demo page isn’t working and single example isn’t really something that would convince me to go with full API registration. If that’s reasonably stable and can produce more obscure commands (I’d love to see for

Mesmerizing read. I found it very relatable because as a person trying to manage ADHD those experienced traits and behaviors during treatments are very similar to my untreated ones. I keep my dark side "on the leash" and maybe it&

Similar here. I was drinking in the evening to dial myself down though. I hated being drunk or hangover, so I drank little but often (usually around 1 drink almost daily). Once I started with meds I figured out it was more of a habit so I s

IMO the reason why that happened is because OP wanted to be too anonymous. As far as I know all money flows above non-trivial amounts have to be attached to some entity. Gift cards allow to bypass that, since, well - they can be bought in s

That'd be an interesting exercise to figure out how big sample should be and how unlikely the moves would be. This is something for chess analysts I suppose. I believe that there will never be decisive proof of Niemann cheating. But on

While I'm not interested in chess in general, I'm deeply curious how Carlsen (assuming good intent) could figure out Niemann was cheating. The ideas I have right now would be: 1. To run each early game phase (up to, let's say

That's some great game design. Of course in hindsight it's "doh, anyone could do this", but no one did. Simple rules, easily understandable goal, minimal interaction. Now, fast, mobile 0.99$ release and rake in those dol

...and even if they did, most likely it'll be so fragmented that it won't have an impact. UK has population of around 67 million. 180k of pledges right now doesn't even make it 0.025%. It's probably not enough to turn of

That's definitely awful idea but... commercialize police services to some degree. I.e. have "personal support" division where one can pay per hour to solve small (non violent) problems, such as small-items recovery, acts of v
