It was at the beginning, but lately it's been hot garbage. I think they've nerfed it on purpose so that the migration to gemini is an easier sell.

For me, I'm happy it now understands "hey Google, how's my timer?" As equivalent of "how long is left on my timer" and no longer answers that question with "it's seven fifty two pm" 😡

Yes, but at the same time can we stop marketing as "self driving cars" normal cars with a somewhat sophisticated cruise control, like Teslas, and stop pretending their "super full self driving unsupervised for realsies plus plus" is a "self drive mode"?

Well, there's nothing yet that even resembles a comparable replacement with a different architecture (RISC-V?). So even if they were angling for that, it would have to be at least 3 years away, plus if Intel and Power PC are anything to go by, there's another 5 years until they drop support. So at a minimum, if someone buys a M-series laptop today, they can expect support for 8 years.

Not terrible, given how Microsoft left 3-year-old computers unsupported by surprise with the TPM requirement in Windows 11.

I never had that struggle because back when I was struggling to make relationships last, I didn't know I had ADHD.

Luckily I met someone who could understand me and be patient with me like nobody ever had. And conversely, I understand him and I am patient with him like nobody has ever done. And the catch is what seems to be a common pattern for us ND folks - he's neurodivergent as well, which is what made things about a million times easier.

Just like queer people have a "gaydar", it's useful to tune in to your inner ND-radar, which for me has become easier as I read and understand more not just about ADHD but Autism, for example.

For me this has totally made my relationships easier - not in terms of finding a prospective partner because that happened before I knew, but it can help adapt your communication with friends/coworkers/managers/customers/etc. When I know somebody is autistic, I am extra conscious to not use any sarcasm, double meanings, or rely on implied context. For neurotypicals, I try to go to the point and drip feed the context if and when needed. For ADHD people I am careful we don't go down rabbit holes for too long, but I frontload the context for my request/topic so that their brain has the big picture to work with.

Trust me, statistically you're far more likely than not to find good friendships and a loving partner - you just don't have a neurotypical brain chemistry so don't hold yourself to neurotypical timelines for that to happen.

I think this means we can make a torrent client with a built in function that uses 0.1% of 1 CPU core to train an ML model on anything you download. You can download anything legally with it then. 👌

Most people tend to develop coping mechanisms that help them pass as non-ADHD individuals, by lowering their standards for what they can achieve in life and by accepting the abnormally high amounts of stress that hiding their ADHD causes them.

Psychologists call this "growing out of ADHD".

Polestar sells something for a similar price and better quality, and without awkward associations with a billionaire nazi.

I've seen this claim recently and it's rubbish.

Yes, if by "nothing" we mean writing next to no code, because they're busy either:

• architecting software solutions, as they're knowledgeable enough that they should be doing this instead of writing code
• understanding a lot of what is going on in components and/or the system so that when there's an issue they say "oh, this is likely because of X" and the resolution takes days instead of weeks.

I.e. yes, there is a percentage of developers who we pile other tasks on and they don't get to write code.

My experience is that the more knowledgeable developers get, the less code they write.

Then neurodivergent peeps are different - an Autistic dev might be super knowledgeable and happy writing unit tests because they don't enjoy the uncertainty of large problems, or an ADHD developer might have a large system-wide view but write what seem like small contributions.

$700 million is the estimated development cost of the Falcon Heavy.

Not a game, not a space simulation, but the actual Falcon Heavy rocket. A rocket that can actually go into space.

I know they're different things but I thought I'd leave this here to put things in perspective.

God this is equally terrible and hilarious 😂

For example, The Associated Press reported that an official Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms. It claimed it too had a child in school in New York City, but when confronted by the group members, it later apologized before its comments disappeared, according to screenshots shown to The Associated Press.

Oh that's rich. So what they're saying is somehow every other smartwatch company can engineer not only a way to solve the technical limitations, but a full smartwatch in under three years, while one of the most powerful tech companies somehow thought "naah, connecting to android is a lot more difficult than a self driving car or a VR headset with an integrated computer and video passthrough, we better shelve that idea".

Yeah ok Apple.
