i did not stop to get taller, it just felt like crap. I think as you get older and more independent it starts messing with your sense of self.
is it better to be on meds? maybe i don't know. all i have is my experience.
and looking back i'd much rather my parents told the school "fu im not giving my kid stimulants just challenge him" and to provide the challenge if the school didn't.
if you're top 1% (definitely not hn average), it's very likely you had "problems at school" simply because it was boring. don't know how old you are but with 1% there's really nothing preventing you from learning whatever it is you want to learn and go do something else.
I was prescribed Ritalin when i was 6 years old, and was considered one of the short kid my entire childhood (and suffered the consequences).
I decided to stop taking meds when I was 17, and in a few years became the tallest of my friend group.
I'm older now, and occasionally have periods where I take what I consider "better" meds like Vyvanse, but there ain't no way i'm letting my kids take ANYTHING until they are much much older and can decide for themselves.
it won't happen.
thankfully AI + Android makes it easy to reverse engineer protocols. APKs are hilariously informative.
I'm working on my own app+server for the Limitless pendant i bought before the meta acquisition. didn't write a single line of code.
still not sold on agent orchestration. needs to be super simple and as close to the native agent interface, like Conductor et al. adding another layer of complexity while LLMs are evolving so rapidly is just fighting against the waves.
