  • Wouldn’t surprise me if many young people can’t, I’m on the edge between millenial and gen z and reading an analog clock always needs some active effort. I’ve always preferred digital so I never really had to read analog clocks besides the one that hung in our kitchen and that one time I had a watch. Oh and the train stations still all have analog.

    Kitchen clocks, if they aren’t just the oven or microwave, are probably becoming rarer, so when your watch is also digital, you’d never really encounter analog if it’s not somewhere in the public space, which will probably depend on where you live.

    I’d guess most kids probably still can read one with effort because at least when there’s a second hand (since you can easily see it move) it’s kinda self explanatory, and it probably got explained in school once.

    I know this wouldnt work for me but absolutely please if you’re unhappy with your mornings or evenings try different sleep schedules within what your obligations allow.

    Doesn’t have to be getting up at 5, for me I’d ideally go to bed there but since my job doesn’t allow me to start in the afternoon, I’ve found that showering in the evening and getting up at 8 to then be able to just get ready and go to work in <15 minutes works great. I’m a zombie after waking up until I get some exercise anyway, so after cycling to work I’m fine and I just need to minimize the effort needed before that.

    Get up late, or wake up in the middle of the night to get all your free time before work instead of after, prepare everything you can before bed or take all your time in the morning. But if you feel like what you’re doing right now sucks, try something else if at all possible.


  • I had something kiind of similar once, where it would only boot after trying to boot once, letting it run a bit in idle, and then rebooting where it would actually succeed. Turned out I forgot to put the clear cmos jumper back to neutral after i reset cmos.

    So my best guess (other than new battery) is check the jumpers maybe



  • I think there’s a blurry line here where you can easily train an LLM to just regurgitate the source material by overfitting, and at what point is it “transformative enough”? I think there’s little doubt that current flagship models usually are transformative enough, but that doesn’t apply to everything using the same technology - even though this case will be used as precedence for all of that.

    There’s also another issue in that while safeguards are generally in place, without them llms would be very capable of quoting entire pages at least of popular books. And jailbreaking llms isn’t exactly unheard of. They also at least used to really like just verbatim repeating news articles on obscure topics.

    What I’m mainly getting at is that LLMs can be transformative, but they also can plagiarize. Much like any human could. The question is then, if training LLMs on copyrighted data is allowed, will the company be held accountable when their LLM does plagiarize, the same way a person would be? Or would the better decision be to prohibit training on copyrighted data because actually transforming it meaningfully can not be guaranteed, and copyright holders actually finding these violations is very hard?

    Though idk the case details, if the argument was purely focused on using the material to produce the model, rather than including the ultimate step of outputting text to anyone who asks, it was probably doomed to fail from the start and the decision makes perfect sense. And that doesn’t seem too unlikely to have happened because realizing this would require the lawyer making the case to actually understand what training an LLM does.




  • I would guess that starting the habit is harder wirh adhd. Something doesn’t become a habit after just doing it once, you need to do it for a while first. Adhd can make that harder both because you might simply forget and because of executive dysfunction.

    I would think that for people without adhd the “forget it once and suddenly it’s gone” also applies (seems consistent with my understanding of human memory), but restarting it might be easier so it doesn’t feel like it.

    Does AI just generate a font now and use that for text? I’m asking because the letters seem to be entirely consistent which I don’t think would happen if the text was image-gend.

    There’s also a good chance it’s just the image that was AI generated and someone did manually add the text, easiest check might be to reverse search without the text.

    Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It’s gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn’t have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).

    Though there’s a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.


  • Sometimes I get clickbaited into watching one because yt doesn’t let me hide them forever (is there an extension for that maybe? Surely it’s doable with css or something), and they’ve been alright. Though the ones I clicked on have only been from one creator and I don’t mind fast talking (not sped up) and those didn’t have the fast cuts.

    I also really don’t get the appeal of the format. I’ve been sent shorts from other creators and it just feels worse than the same thing as a proper video. It doesn’t overload me because it’s essentially how my brain operates anyway, but that’s also why I want things that make me take a break from constantly thinking in overdrive by simply being slow.


  • I mainly struggle with the executive dysfunction part. I found that preparing anything at all helps, even just opening the document I need to write on another screen will mean that whenever my attention next detaches from whatever else I’m doing, I will automatically latch onto what I’m supposed to do as the next thing.

    This is the only way I managed to make progress on my bachelor’s thesis.




  • So far for me the game has done a great job of having recognizable landmarks at least. I might not always know where I am, but I’ll frequently come across something that orients me again.

    I despise being lost in video games, but claire obscure has been fine because I never feel like I get lost for too long. Just long enough to appreciate the gorgeous and very weird world I’m in.

    I still sometimes wish there was a map but it would probably be a net negative.
