    Sorry, I thought you’d be able to make some logical inferences and I assumed you knew a little about chess. In chess there’s a concept of strength, and ELO is used as a rough estim…

    Context helps. A lot of really strong players are 12 years old.

    > but good luck anyone ever finding it. Get what you’re saying but hasn’t that always been the case without extensive marketing and promotion? My understanding that writing and fin…

    This is a blast from the past! I remember being really young and buying a GPU based solely on what art was on the box (and yes, it was a scantily clad woman) and getting really, re…

    I just bought a M4 MBA, my first since a 2014 MBP. I absolutely hated the 26 update on my phone and iPad but honestly don’t even notice it on my MacBook.

    I have ADHD and it almost acts as a body double for me, which I find to be incredibly helpful to get things done.

    Holy crap, I never knew that was a thing. Thank you!

    Not a dev but I’ve had similar experiences testing AI to help me craft various documents. I spend ages crafting the perfect prompt only to cross my fingers and hope that the output…

    A one time, 5g “heroic dose” did the trick for me. I’ve had a few more trips at that dose since that initial one but mostly because there’s a whole lot for me to explore in that sp…

    Psilocybin “fixed” my ADHD right up.

    This whole game is so stupid to me. It really feels like the employer is trying to screw over the potential employee before they’ve even joined. My default answer to these question…

    Agreed. My newest favourite one is “You’re inconvenient to be around”

    In the same way that photoshop meant that people didn’t have to learn how different brushes and mediums work on different surfaces? People have been worrying about this since the t…

    This is fascinating to me and I have so many questions! How do you feel about life now? Did you eventually end up feeling how you used to feel about life? Was it just a week of eup…

    If price is your only concern you could also buy a 1990 Corolla for a fraction of that price too. And it’ll likely still run pretty flawlessly. I wonder if these will stand the tes…

    Corolla killer is jumping the gun a bit. Will these cars still be operational in 30+ years? What will their condition be like after 500,000km on the clock? Once they reach these mi…

    Wearing a fitness tracking device gives you this illusion of working on your health and fitness without actually doing so. I know many people who wear Whoop bands and swear by it b…

    You can substitute it with any addiction. Try replacing it with porn instead. It doesn’t matter. Your analysis is cruel and lacks empathy into how addiction actually works. You wou…

    This is like saying to addicts “Just stop smoking crack”. Everyone knows smoking crack is bad for you. A lot of people want to quit but are unable to no matter how much “self disci…

    That would be an interesting study though. For true occult practitioners I think you’re likely to see even less mental disorders since (if they are true students of the occult) the…

    Thanks for those resources, I’m going to have fun digging into those. But still, wouldn’t the link between artistry and self destruction be more a function of depression and not ps…

    Yep, I certainly have. With just two trackers I’ve got access to pretty much every TV show and movie in existence.
