I recently learned that the guy that wrote this song is Neil Cicierega, who is also responsible for Potter Puppet Pals AND makes music under the title of Lemon Demon, which I had independently started listening to a few years ago. Funny how one guy is responsible for so many things that I’ve enjoyed over the years

For me, learning to manage my life in a way that works with my ADHD. For example, if I learn I need to do something, and it’s something I can do now, I get up and do it. If I don’t, I’m likely to forget or put it off too long. Finding ways to build routines, like I suddenly decided I should lick my teeth when getting ready for bed, this makes me realize they are dirty, and I feel forced to brush my teeth before I can sleep. Before that I wasn’t brushing every day. You have to figure out what ADHD prevents you from doing like a normal person, and plan around it.

I don’t medicate right now because I have enough control to be able to function at work and my day to day life without it. But I’ve also had success in the past from either Vyvanse and Strattera (took them at different periods in my life)

Something about boys maturing slower than girls, I’m sure. Jk it’s what you said

Really! That does surprise me

Channels with absolutely zero drama that are still active and I would describe as " interesting content made by someone who cares about it" :

• cracking the cryptic: solving sudoku puzzles twice daily

• chessnetwork: explaining famous chess matches and occasionally playing online chess, but with none of the bro culture that has grown up around chess recently

• Folding ideas: great video essays about film or modern phenomena like NFTs

• Technology connections: already reccommended, but in depth explanations about how electronics work

• Language Jones: videos about linguistics and learning new languages

• Numberphile/StandUpMaths- interesting math videos

I’m a college professor that uses BB and try to make things as easy to access as possible. The same assignments and information can be found in multiple places in the course, i avoid using the jankiest Blackboard applications, I set things up so that text is visible without having to click through another link, etc. But BlackBoard doesn’t make it easy. We’re switching to Blackboard Ultra this Fall, which I think does have some improvements, especially in the UI department, but I’m doubtful it’ll be much better.

Oh no! Anyway

Never thought of it that way! What a dystopian world we live in where intelligent conversation dies because there’s no good way to profit off of it.

Doesn’t it also have to do with the previous requests the LLM has recieved? In order for this thing to “learn” it has to know what people are looking for, so i’ve always imagined the porn problem as being a result of the fact that people are using these things to generate porn at a much greater volume than anything else, especially porn of women, so it defaults to nude because that’s what most requests were looking for

I’m not really surprised, the main challenge of that game is motor control, something any machine can do with more precision than a human

I wish whoever maintains this bot would figure out how to stop it from stating the same information 3-4 times in the title and the body of the post

No way wither’s ass tastes gourmet

Some creators do get support from patreon, but most of those creators are on other platforms. I’m betting that this move pushes those creators out to focus on their other platforms, which will lead to a drastic drop in quality content.

Not when you could be also using that vpn to communicate with people without them knowing

Google Fiber was planned to install in my city, but their only way of delivering service to most neighborhoods was by digging into the roads to lay cables and then covering it up with rubber. Well, they did a terrible job with the roads, tons of damage and potholes, and then they “cancelled” Fiber, so it was all for nothing. You can’t even get Fiber in my city now, even though the uncancelled it.

I was gonna post the same thing!

Yeah my only interaction with reddit now is if I want to read honest discussion of some specific thing without worrying too much if it’s astroturfed, I can go to google and search like “wireless earbuds for sleeping reddit”. With this change I wouldn’t even have that option available, which I consider to be the last thing reddit’s good for.

Given how he’s been doing things recently, you can expect a paywall to be added by next week sometime

Damn, I hadnt even thought about that. A class on Unity right now would be only a month in, and those professors are probably agonizing over whether to continue teaching a course on an engine that might not even be a relevant skill by the time the semester is over, or desperately try to switch gears and teach something completely different. I don’t envy that decision, prepping a new course in the middle of a semester is a nightmare
