Well if us gov would block people from using windows or macos, then it may well be.

Unless it's c-corporate which require 25k usd. Money don't have to sit in bank account, you can buy a laptop etc.

resistance to air conditioning

Where is this meme coming from? I'm in Poland atm. Half of my neighbours have aircon. I dont just because I'm on the ground floor and the max temp is 25.5C Every new apartament building is build with holes ready for AC.

Same thing happened in Poland and it was confirmed that Russians did it.

We stopped burning grass and got ticks infestation. I used work and play in tall grass as a 7 year old in my grapa farm. Never got a tick. 30 years later I found 7 ticks on my cloths after 2 hours walk on the same farm.

Have tired ADHD diagnosis?

"We Have No Moat, And Neither Does OpenAI"

gear boxes with ratios like 13:1.

you add planetary gears

sprung mass

you can integrate all into one hub (breaks, bearings, gears etc) and it weights pretty much the same.

what you gain is more space for a bigger battery, torque vectoring, no loss on diff and CVs

Could be just that USA is trying to reindustrialize and need more people that can do stuff with hands?

- the smallest population cohort is entering workforce - Trump and Covid slowed down immigration - high interest rate slows down R&D

it's not, they have a good PR. Best intelligence is quiet.

Any man who must say, 'I am the king,' is no true king

The unionised Openreach in UK who are really the de facto layer 1 network provider telco build infrastructure to a staggeringly higher quality

and it's crap compared to Romanian or Polish which are not unionised (I think)

Palantir delenda est

Something I read recently really stuck with me: giving people methylphenidate or other stimulants may lower the risk of a second suicide attempt by around 25%.

Palantir must be destroyed.

Palantir must be destroyed.

yep, or call a clinic that does it. Search for MOXO, DIVA 5. The most important part is education. Sure, the medication helps, but understanding the root causes of mood swings, motivation, executive functions, hyperfocus, perfectionism, and emotional dysregulation is so important.

Educating yourself on how the brain works, the most important organ, is hugely underrated. Imagine playing a game with only half the screen visible. You wouldn’t see your stats, enemy info, or the map. It would be frustrating to play.

I could ask LLM to find me "legal" parts that are 1:1 with gun parts or even better find metal parts in craftcloud3d.com or sendcutsend.com. With big enough database it could find right items on Amazon. It's impossible to legislate.

Due to prolonged stress, which lack of control is the main contributor e.g. you have expectations, you cannot control variable x,y,z, which leads to stress, which over long period of causes burn out.

Just like credit cards, the national debt has interest payments the government needs to pay.

Something I learned a few years ago: debt is to national debt what a chair is to an electric chair[1]. Government has to increase monetary base when economy grows. National debt is a good thing, where credit cards are just awful.

Interest doesn't buy anything. It's the price of having spent money we didn't have.

And where does interest go? WHERE DOES INTEREST GO? <insert goose chase meme>

[1] or java to javascript :)

That's exactly my point! you do set alarms, you seek the solution. You feel bad when running late so you mask or compensate. If you lack empathy or seek attention, you wouldn't do those things.

that's not ADHD. People with ADHD would improve - it may take a LOT of time, but it will happen. Quite often they will go to the extreme and come in way too early. My bet would be on Cluster B personality trait e.g. lack of empathy and constant need for attention and validation.

ADHD frequently co-occurs with other conditions.

avoid people that need narcissistic supply at all cost.

Any sort of gambling should be limited to, say 20% of your average yearly tax (last 5 years). Prediction market should be banned.

It's interesting that's the only interview when he challenged someone.

Dwarkesh is even more astroturfed than Lex Fridman. The interviews they do are just ads. No challenges, no hard questions. All seem staged and prepared.

I wanted to build a landing page for my gf, but since LLMs make it so simple I'm building SaaS for Psychoeducation.

Modifications to my Land Cruiser j90

- LED daytime running lights / off-road LED light bar

- Winch

- Front left – tie rod end (both)

- Rear axle – pinion bearing (loud while driving)

- Right rear brake caliper – brake fluid leaking from the piston

- Boost chip (chip + turbo tee), Kill switch

You need to go through a proper grief. Cry, scream - the whole package. When the acceptance kicks in, try to find the root cause of what happen and why.

How was the relationship? Did you feel like the first 6–12 months were perfect, but then you started drifting apart and having arguments every week or two? Have you ever felt like you needed to record a conversation you had with your partner?

great psychiatrist who has me on antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, and mood stabilizers

Have you gone through a therapy with him?
