All people increase their ability to concentrate when on Ritalin.

Can someone explain to me why this is such a big big deal? I don't know much about AI, but I'm a software developer with a degree in computer science.

I build internal web applications for companies in the transport industry, and I have considered to try out Phoenix LiveView for my next project ( I have never used Phoenix or Elixir). Everyone praises the DX but I'm conserned about the requirement of constant internet connection. What happens if a user enters a tunnel where there are no connection? Will the app just crash or are there ways to handle this better somehow?

What does that mean?

> unless being a monopoly is part of that monopoly’s business model and an important part of how the monopoly makes money, in which case nothing should be done.

Can you expand on this?

Certain situations that are likely to occur in professional settings would be suitable topics for university education. For example, doctors will encounter many challenging decisions where it's crucial to understand what past generations of medical professionals have learned from similar situations.

However, this differs from universities teaching students which business areas are more moral to work in than others. Who would have the authority to decide which businesses are more ethical? Some argue that working in the defense industry is the least ethical career choice, while others claim it would be immoral not to support a country's right to purchase weapons for self-defense. These judgments are often subjective and could be heavily influenced by individual teachers' biases.

The perfect response to this kind of preaching.

The coolest thing about them is that he solved the Fermi Paradox, I definitely buy his explanation.

I read The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables by Victor Hugo and I loved both of them, can recommend.

Seveneves is an amazing book, just make sure you skip the last part.

If you are into history I can recommend The last days of the Incas by Kim MaqQuarrie, it's just an insanely interesting description on how the Incas was conquered, it feels like you're there man.

If you like evolutionary biology/phsycology then check out The Red Queen - Sex and the evolution of human Nature by Matt Ridley.

Why not get rid of unhappiness while you're at it? Just do it man, I'm sure you can figure out how.

I love ORMs for setting up entities and relationships, but I mostly use sql/query builder for all queries that are not trivial.

No but I can work 2-3 hours a day (WFH) while delivering results that my boss is very happy with. I would prefer to be paid 3 times as much and working 8 hours a day, but I'm ok with this too.

It's always so easy to spot these people at restaurants.

Haha is that real? I will definitely kill every ant I see from now on, they are clearly evil.

I don’t know how successful he was if he had several ant colonies in his room. Perhaps they regrouped and returned to another spot in his room. Perhaps this particular ant colony just loved his room a lot.

Good point. I won't buy these for my kids to wear every day when walking to school, but using them when traveling and going to the mall etc sounds very convenient.

> this is on me and one of the few times i've been genuinely embarrassed running openai

This statement seems to suggest that feeling embarrassed by one's actions is a normal part of running a company. In reality, the expectation is that a CEO should strive to lead with integrity and foresight to avoid situations that lead to embarrassment.

How do you connect racism to people following their own personal vision? Wouldn't that imply that all human phenomena result from individuals pursuing their personal visions?

> Evolution basically says humans are conscious matter.

Evolution states nowhere that humans are concious.

It's suprisingly cheap. 2 dollar/month for the first year and 10 dollar / month after that.

> ...Musk, who was nearly an hour late to arrive at the all-hands meeting about the company’s latest rocket. When he finally took the stage, Musk was strangely incomprehensible at times. He slurred his words and rambled for around 15 minutes...

I don't think anyone cares whether or not he do molly sometimes, but this is really something different. He is after all CEO for the only U.S. company now approved to transport NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

Interestingly, I experience more anxiety from the thought of being made irrelevant than from the prospect of complete human extinction. I guess this can be interpreted as either vanity or stupidity, but I do think it illustrates how important it is for some humans to maintain their position in the social hierarchy.

He is saying that what might seem like a sophisticated, well-planned strategy could actually be just the outcome of basic errors or poor decisions made by someone else.

Hi, I read your comment last week and now I've almost completed the show, I love it. Do you have any other recommendations?

I thought mobile-first web design meant that you start by designing for mobile and then adding features for the bigger screens upward, not to prioritize mobile screens.

I knew this was gonna get downvoted and I always do the same for these kind of posts. In this one however, I think the poster put words on a sensation shared by most of us who read the brilliant parent

Link please!

I read this comment in the worst of moments, because I am a frontend freelancer that all of a sudden can't find a gig plus I just bought an expensive flat for my family of three kids.

Can someone please relieve my anxiety?

As a Swede with toddlers (2 and 3 years old) in preschool I salute this. Preschools are required by law to use tablets in the "education" of toddlers, which is completely insane since more and more research are saying that using screens as a small child might disturb cognitive development. Call me old school but I think toddlers should play with sticks and balls.

Side note: the general view in Sweden is that the school is working terrible and many parents do all they can to teach their young childs to read, write and count because they don't trust the school system to do that for them. I think it's great to teach your kids as much as you can, but it's a bit sad that the reason is this one.

Has anyone here had any positive experiences of growing their freelance business to an agency with employees? I'm currently considering to do it myself but I'm getting a bit hesitant after reading this thread.
