  • I mean lots of things are ADHD things, that alone are completely normal! It’s usually the combination or severity of things that lead to something being considered that needs treatment.

    If you find that you are struggling to take care of responsibilities or enjoy life, I always suggest talking to doctor/counselors. Could be ADHD, could be need coping mechanism, could be something else. IDK. But life should be enjoyed and doing adult responsibilities shouldn’t feel like ripping out finger nails (so I’ve been told)








  • Yeah over simplifying it a bit, and that’s funny that the stupid thing I found wasn’t even stupid enough.

    But was mostly trying to impart that we should be happy for modern languages, because for every line you write in a modern language, it’ll do a dozen things on the back end for you that in assembly you’d need to do by hand.

    To send the point home even more, this is how in python you make a line of text display:

    print("Hello World")

    This is the same thing, in assembly (According to a blog I found. I can’t read this. I am not build better.)

      org  0x100        ; .com files always start 256 bytes into the segment
    
        ; int 21h is going to want...
    
        mov  dx, msg      ; the address of or message in dx
        mov  ah, 9        ; ah=9 - "print string" sub-function
        int  0x21         ; call dos services
    
        mov  ah, 0x4c     ; "terminate program" sub-function
        int  0x21         ; call dos services
    
        msg  db 'Hello, World!', 0x0d, 0x0a, '$'   ; $-terminated message
    

    But python turns that cute little line up top, into that mess at the bottom.

    I like python. Python is cute. Anyone can read python.






  • Probably depends on state or whatever what requirements are.

    They had me do a test using a VR headset, and I was like “Oh this will be fun!”

    No, it wasn’t. I had to stare at a VR aquarium and press a button based on instructions for 20 minutes like

    “If you see a clown fish, then a blue fish, press the button” or

    “If you hear me say Sturgeon, or you see a clown fish, press the button”

    “Press the button if you hear the name of any fish that isn’t a clown fish, or see any fish that isn’t a sturgeon”

    Apparently I did VERY poorly on instruction switching, with it taking several minutes between tasks for me to get the instructions down where they like bleed together. Also like little kids would walk in front of me, or a phone would ring, or TVS would flash.



  • I actually went to a science/nature camp as a kid where a pig part was we would catch pot guts (ground squirrels)!

    Almost every animal there had been caught dozens of times. Because they would go in, get peanut butter, be shown to a counselor that would mark that they were caught, then let go. So pretty sure all of them were trap happy since a 100 traps were out in a field 4 months out of the year, every single year.






  • Assuming you mean LLM’s and image generation, yeah open source is much better! Cause that way it’ll be used for dumb silly things.

    An LLM in a video game? Sure, could be cool. A game like spore where it generates species, and it uses image generation? Could be cool. Also if an artist wants inspiration from AI images, I don’t hate on anyone’s process. All those things I feel like are better if the people using them are in control of them.
