logicslave··on ADHD and autism associated with in utero heavy metals and essential minerals
ADHD is generally just when your executive functioning doesn't develop as well as the rest of your brain, and so things are asymmetrical. You have less control over your actions because executive functioning is impaired. This gets commonly confused with highly intelligent people who cant/refuse to focus on the boring and mundane. So we get this mythos, but really, the highly creative intelligent get mixed up with cognitively impaired.

There are other types of people who for whatever reason have imbalance in the regions of their brain and end up with unique functioning. This is where "edge" comes from. Deformities that lead to small verticals of super human capability, which comes at the expense of being able to live a normal life.

logicslave··on Ask HN: Which book/essay changed your life?
I think more than tips, Marx is a highly persuasive writer. He has caused mass propaganda and death through the power of his ideas. Reading his book may open your eyes to the extent that you are exploited, which provides motivation and understanding. If I could write as well as Marx, I may lend you a tip. But the tip is read

Capital by Karl Marx.

logicslave··on The Many Faces of a 10x Software Engineer
This is the trick, always pick the work that is relatively easy/has less unforeseen edge cases. Rapidly develop it before it becomes complex. Collect your pay checks! Theres no reason not to do this, life is short, just avoid the bad work at all costs.

logicslave··on Ask HN: Do You Take Nootropics?
I think that there is no free lunch in the human brain. If you take something, your brain will adapt to an equilibrium, down-regulating whatever transmitters you are manipulating. Strategies like drug cycling, minimal use, etc can all be used to partially mitigate this. But in the long run, sleep, exercise, diet, sex, and social relationships are the contributors to a healthy brain.

logicslave··on Ask HN: What happened to all the GPT-3 products?
Its not going to happen overnight. That doesnt mean that the products arent revolutionary. Just that the training sets, infrastructure, know how, etc are not there. Its not a simple case of importing the model and running it. You need a second data set to tune the model to your needs with. An analogy for this post is like coming up with a new piece of theory for electric cars and then asking why the theory isnt deployed on the roads six months later.
