Roughly, zero. Stimulants are not a fun dependency, come with a bucket list of side effects and downsides, and only mitigate one aspect of ADHD.

They link https://github.com/terminatorul/NvStrapsReBar in the repo which does what you want for 2000 series cards. Start there, burn some credits.

Tempted to see if this will work on the work dell laptop, which hardware supports rebar, but Dell just can't be assed to enable it - use an external ARC GPU to properly support 3 screens (again, Dells awful drivers / firmware - the same hardware supports 3 screens just fine).

We elected a central-left government, and somehow ended up with center right. Its deeply frustrating.

I'm hoping Rider get some support for switching between worktrees efficiently - until then, it becomes a tool only the primary / interactive agent sessions can access.

Better running metrics. Maps. On-device routing. Longer battery life.

As with most things LLM, you can generally get what you want by asking for it (maybe not efficiently, but so it goes). "Once you have a answer, please summarize, and ask an agent to convert it to plain English" often helps.

Its a bit unkind to talk like this - the obvious and equally unproductive response is to question if you are really as good as you think you are. Are those junior developers not making a mess, or do you lack the insight to see it?

Its hard for native speakers. Information density makes for rough reading.

The bullshit will continue until the grifters move on to something else. If you can figure out what that is, you'll make some serious bank!

Surely that reinforces the argument - there are now a million LOC in a different language, needing stunning amounts of work to validate it actually functions? Writing the code has never been the bottleneck.
