There is a difference between knowing which medicines to give someone. And then having that knowledge of which to choose (after seeing a healthcare professional), and then being able to buy (make) any brand of that item.

I thought he was worried about AI and wrote a letter telling everyone to stop 🙃

I read that comment, and use it similarly, as more a super-dictionary/encyclopedia in the same way I’d watch supplementary YouTube videos to enhance my understanding. Rather than automating the understanding process.

More like having a tutor who you ask all the too-stupid and too-hard questions to, who never gets tired or fed up with you.

I thought the headline said they were linked. My first reaction (which surprised me) was “oh well, not much to be done about that then eh”. Glad I re-read it 😅

Even clicking the refresh button on boost doesn’t change the image, it’s still the crewcut one now.

I’ve started using a stopwatch, and my aim is not to complete the task, but just to spend time on that task and nothing else. This does 2 things: 1) just the fact I’m on the tasks moved me forward more than not being on the task. 2) as its counts up, not down, I am just interested in increasing the number, so every 30 seconds or minute or 10 extra that I do makes the number bigger and the dopamine higher.

I combine this with a habit tracker (literally called habits on android store) so I can try and beat my last high score etc.

I don’t set myself any targets etc that would cause me to feel shame (and then procrastinate due to that shame), so it lowers the barrier of startinf sufficiently low so that I can get on. And then the flow starts to kick in and we’re off…

Wait what? That works??

Does the last bit mean “earlier that morning” or “morning, the next day” I wonder.

Same

I thgouth it was a variant of rocket league’s ball

I then get them saying “oi, why did you rewind it!”

That’s a whole different way of playing trading card games.

Outlived, or sadly experienced the loss of his wife and 3 out of 4 children?

I’d say it’s when it becomes uncomfortable to the other person. So if you’re doing something, but they can get over it, then they’re likely to chalk it up to you being you, but once it goes too far then it gets weird. But it’s not just related to neurodivergence, I’d say it happens for all things, like if someone eats a weird thing or wears too out-there clothes then it moves out of the “yeah, whatever” to “oh, that was a bit weird”.

Because of this, it also depends on what “normal” is to the other person.

Looking forward to next episode 😀

This reminds me of Minecraft redstone computers. Its great to see that does translate to the real world too with a GUI. (I’m aware that the very first computers themselves were mechanical calculations machines)

Riiiight. Tread-mill. Makes total sense now why we call it that.

Same!
