> the fact that i'm at risk of seeing a 14 year old's opinion at any point during my day is a human rights violation

This always strongly resonated with me; if something was written by a 14-year-old, I don't want to read it, end of story. There is no way it can provide value to me. I shudder to think that I may have unknowingly argued with 14-year-olds on the Internet in the past.

But if I had a child who was 14, I wouldn't object to interacting with them, obviously.

It's the same with LLMs: the only time I want to be reading LLM output is when it's my model that I prompted myself.

Plus because they're eaten whole, you also get bonus stuff like calcium and phosphorus from the bones.

Before giving out asinine advice like "just relax and let the life go its way", you may want to consider if doing that was an option, the person would have done it already. It's the equivalent of telling a depressed person to "cheer up".

If you don't struggle with executive dysfunction, that's fantastic. But you're also not the intended audience for this article. Avoiding losing hours of one's day to decision paralysis isn't the same as trying to min-max or overoptimise.

There's a yellow note on the side of interaction #1 pointing it out, and it's made even more clear if you fully read interactions #5 and #6.

You knew that you were drawing something designed for a computer to recognise as unambiguously as possible, while being efficient to draw quickly and easy to learn for you. I feel like that's the kind of notion that voice interfaces should somehow expand upon.

However, this could be explained by today's GPS tracking data, rather than improvements in reliability. When you open your transit app, you want to know when the next bus is, so you can find an alternative if the wait is too long. When it tells you the next one is in 3 minutes (which is an accurate estimate because of the GPS), you don't actually care if that bus is running 18 minutes later than originally scheduled.

For the bus I use for my commute, I don't leave either the house or the office until I see its GPS tracker pass certain points of the route. I've never had to wait for more than 3 minutes at a bus stop doing that. On occasions where there is no GPS feed, I treat that bus as "theoretical", and don't risk going out to try to catch it at its scheduled time, unless I'm desperate. But every time I did risk it, it ended up arriving right on schedule.

So I'd say the experience of catching buses has profoundly improved, but not necessarily because the reliability has improved.

And 10 years ago, we didn't have Opal readers, which are great, since together with having digital driving licenses on our phones, it has allowed many of us to completely forgo carrying a wallet.

Bus drivers are still as reckless and grumpy as they used to be though.

The main issue is that .utcfromtimestamp and .fromtimestamp both return naive datetimes, instead of aware ones with the timezone property set to UTC or the local timezone respectively.

    # what I used to do:
    >>> datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)
    # what I'll be doing from now on:
    >>> datetime.now(timezone.utc)

During polyphasic experiments in my youth, my biggest obstacle was always securing reliable conditions to allow the daytime naps.

Fortunately, there are tools like Ganache, which you can run with `ganache-cli --fork` to reliably emulate locally what will happen when transactions are sent to mainnet. I would accept no substitute approach when dealing with suspect contracts.

For one, they don't rely on "number go up" to make money, they use strategies similar to those used by HFT firms to make money from market inefficiencies. They generally don't have loyalty to a particular crypto platform, they just go wherever they can find a competitive advantage. They also tend to be much less politically outspoken and often left-leaning, in contrast to the vocal libertarian views that permeate the rest of the field.

They also most certainly aren't "imagining" making money. Most of their strategies are essentially elaborate forms of arbitrage, which are risk-free sources of profit by nature (until out-competed). Their only losses come from fees paid for deploying strategies that turn out to be unsuccessful. Even fees for failed transactions are pretty much a non-issue these days because of Flashbots.

Having spent my formative years being motivated by avoiding beatings, rather than seeking praise, made it very difficult to adjust to adulthood in a world that relies on positive reinforcement for motivation.

For every "...and I turned out just fine", there are many who didn't. Your "memories of violence" aren't the alternative to "being medicated for life", they're often the very cause of it.

Yes, they are not related, but both are taken for their dopaminergic effects, though they achieve this by different methods (reuptake inhibitor vs agonist).

Generally, in the course of treatment for ADHD, patients will get to try both to see which one they respond to better. They often exhibit strong preference for one over the other (personally, dex does nothing for me, even at recreational doses of 50mg).

Their risk profiles are very similar, and one cannot be said to have "less side effects", unless referring to a specific individual's response.
