As I’ve said, I’m not sure, but I have heard that some types of therapies can make it less noticeable, not entirely remove it.

High school was pretty shit in terms of this, as I would be taking a short break, sometimes in the classrooms, sometimes in the study session rooms, sometimes on the way to a class, and a teacher tells me to put my phone away, even though nobody seems to bat an eye apart from the couple opportunistic teachers. Of course I’ll oblige, so it’s not taken away and I can’t access internet I need the rest of the day (the wifi was kinda dodgy sometimes) or take a rest, then I’d take it back out immediately when they leave.

And at parent teacher interviews, the teachers would say something like “he needs to ask more questions”, or “he gets distracted too easily”, but then say “his work quality is incredible, but took his time”. It’s as though they think the issue is because I used my phone in school when I shouldn’t have (according to local law banning phones in schools), but it was only because the days wore me down when I forced myself to be “normal” and get the work done in class, and I’d still be worn down (although less severely) after school if I didn’t make myself do work, since excessive background noise has really made it difficult.

Luckily, I finished like 5 or 6 months ago, so I don’t need to deal with that anymore, and university is treating me well, since it’s online and you just complete tasks as you go without deadlines, and I let myself get distracted when I need to so I’m more productive when I’m not distracted.

I’ll take that as a sign you’ve never written a single line of code in your life, since if you actually did so, you’d soon realise it’s like having a fast typing, cocaine fuelled intern as a sidekick, who only saw a couple stack overflow code snippets in your language of choice and ran with it.

They’re there to gather data on the moon’s surface and how being on a manned mission affects the human body.

We already have pictures of the dark side of the moon, so the intention this time was for the human eye to view it, since it gets much more detail anyway.

Here’s the thing, Microsoft has innovated on how to produce Electron apps, and managed to run chromium in chromium, to run the new copilot app. And yet, people still hate them for their noble achievements! /s

Tinnitus is pretty much a sensory-filtering issue in the brain, so an injection can’t really so much. I believe it can be mostly fixed by sound therapy and other therapies, although I gotta read up on it.

What I was describing was more an actual PDA, with very low power needs while still being very useful, and being very easy to back up the entire OS and its data, maybe even with some sort of minimal linux distro.

However, I might actually flash a pixel with grapheneOS, since it does fulfill many of those needs, so I’ll consider it. Good suggestion.

This is why I’ve wanted a PDA for a while now. But nobody makes them anymore because everyone pivoted to making smartphones, so DIY would probably be one of the only options unless I want to buy used tech from I believe 2 decades ago.

And that unlimited prep time is used by unintentionally staring at the wall

It’s even weirder for me, like ive got the voice in my head, but also a whole suite of 3D visualisations of tens of thousands of my memories complete with the 3d environment, sound, the clothing I wore, the temperature, humidity, air pressure, the exact location, etc, I can even just visualise entire buildings I’ve been in a few times, like friends houses, the primary, secondary and high school campuses I attended, literally anything. Ive also got my entire music playlist of probably 4000+ songs completely backed up in my nogin, and a whole heap more.

And then my brain just decides “let’s sort through the trauma first shall we”, like bro, you have virtually infinite other things to think about, and you pick the worst?

On top of that, so many people forget it’s April 1st, and actually believe it

Probably be a recreational pilot, like one of my friends did training for. Like sure, I love my deep interests in tech, psychology and gaming, but damn I wanna fly a light aircraft.

One of my dad’s friends does exactly this with traffic cones. He makes sure it’s a council construction zone, since he hates the local council that much to only punch traffic cones from them.

I gotta respect his dedication haha, he’s got a ton of them

Or into the same I images they were from 2018

Actually, I agree. And so far, small local models are really solid, and can punch above its weight even when compared to frontier models.

I believe what I meant when I said I doubted it was since these AI corpos seemingly give no indication that local is an option, so most people would think they can only access an LLM through the web. This would bolster the SaaS ecosystem dominating over local AI, although local will keep increasingly growing as a more favourable option.

Although I do agree that the industry will shift from being server based to PC based inference as well, I don’t see that shift being large enough to make these companies change their training paradigms to include telemetry from local AI, but I’m sure some will.

I doubt it, but honesty, many systems can do inference pretty well, like how I ran the MLX version of Qwen 3 4b with a DuckDuckGo search RAG, and used it to ask quick questions and verify some simple things, running on a MacBook Air m2 16gb, and barely made a dent in the RAM utilisation or SoC, and this also goes for my much less powerful machines, like even a galaxy a20, with 3gb of memory and a low spec octacore exynos, can run small models really well, although the quantisation needs to be a bit strict.

This but I’m Australian and it’s called “Reparations for Pine Gap”

So tired today, I read that as hummus
