I have ADHD; executive dysfunction is a bitch, but yeah later in the day when my meds are kicked-in, that’s usually when I can do this. My schedule is just bad rn with school and work so I either don’t have the time or am exhausted.

You’re 100% right, unfortunately my brain doesn’t connect the feeling better to the eating vegetables and I totally forget I bought them by day 2 and then end up throwing away rotting vegetables a week later.

But I did just buy a mini fridge so hopefully keeping food nearby will remind me it exists and my brain won’t be able to use the excuses of “it’s so far away” or “you might have to interact with people in the kitchen or on your way”

Oh don’t worry I do also have apple sauce packets that I remember exist some days lol

Bruh my meals, if I remember to eat anything, are basically just a protein shake and a cheese stick. Every day. Or occasionally just chocolate chips and milk because it’s fast and tastes good enough I can eat it even if my body doesn’t want to eat.

If I had the motivation to buy and cook a frozen pizza for an actual dinner, I’d feel like I’d been cured of mental illness lol

Edit: To alleviate any concerns, I’m well aware of the health detriment. This is the worst I’ve been in a while, but I am working on it.

Also thank you to the comments because just remembering this post made me remember to eat food rn lol. I’m eating some fruit now and am going to make some ramen with carrots and an egg later (totally forgot I had carrots lol)

In case anyone else reading this is like me this is your reminder to eat food today; do it now before you forget again

Large language models are designed to generate text based on previous text. Translation from audio to text can be done via a neural net but it isn’t a Large Language Model.

Now, could you combine the two to say reduce error on words that were mumbled by having a generative model predict the words that would fit better in that unclear sentence. However you could likely get away with a much smaller and faster net than an LLM in fact you might be able to get away with using plain-Jane markov chains, no machine learning necessary.

Point is that there is a difference between LLMs and other neural nets that produce text.

In the case of audio to text translation, using an LLM would be very inefficient and slow (possibly to the point it isn’t able to keep up with the audio at all), and using a very basic text generation net or even just a probabilistic algorithm would likely do the job just fine.

I suppose following this metaphor the actual left, like anarchists, are the people who realize that sometimes people don’t get over their toxic behavior and for those people you have to set strong boundaries and or cut them out of your life. It’s scary leaving someone you’ve known forever but sometimes it really is for the best

Don’t be this way. One of my most distinct memories of my dad is me telling him he was wrong about something. We looked into it together and he admitted he was wrong.

It’s a core memory because of how rare it was in my early childhood for an adult to listen to me, not get angry or dismissive, and listen to evidence despite it contradicting their intuition.

Aight, count me in

Wrote a spiking neural net (something I’d never heard of previously) in Rust (a language I had 0 experience with) in three days… while being unable to get the motivation to look for a new apartment until literally the day before school started and my lease ended.

Fun times.

Pointer to a pointer exists but the pointer it points to no longer points to anything because the thing it pointed to was moved. You still have the pointer to the pointer but you get null from it instead of a memory.

May I draw your attention to the humble single word “set” which has 48 definitions?

Or the documentation is basically empty and tells you nothing at all (looking at you WinRT…)

I didn’t beat Elden Ring at lvl 1 with daedicars woe equipped so I’ve never really beat the game apparently

Futurama had a couple bangers both Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back and, of course, The Devils Hands Are Idle Playthings

Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon

The woman that I idolize, or the hands of an automaton

Without these hands I can’t complete the opera that was captivating her

But if I keep them, and she marries him, he probably won’t want me dating her

Your boss:

I talk with my friends because I’m part of the bourgeoisie

You talk to your friends but you’re members of the proletariat

We are not the same. You’re fired.

Need to find apartment. Can’t do anything else till I find new apartment. Also can’t bring self to find new apartment. Suffering.

Well considering the main creation story in other nearby cultures at the time also say the world was originally all water, I’d imagine it isn’t so much symbolism as it is the fact that water falls from the sky occasionally and typically looks blue.

The Enūma Eliš mentions that originally there was just water. Much like the creation story in Genesis the gods eventually separate the waters and expose land. Also curiously, the story is recorded across seven tablets and has a few more similarities with Genesis and other aspects of Judaism like man being a fallen creature (though due to man being made from the corpse of an evil god or because the gods were worried, not due to women lol)

Also, the oldest creation story I’m aware of is The Sumerian Creation Myth which also references the “cosmic freshwater ocean” and says man lives in the lower region of this ocean. The noise of humanity annoys the main god so he sends the flood from the upper ocean. But one god warns a man of this so the man builds a boat and fills it with animals. Remind you of any bible story?

Point is that even the Torah is a likely derivative work combining more ancient myths from other cultures. Because the original cultures reference the waters more as an actual physical ocean in a non-symbolic way, Id say the Bible story was meant to be literal. Almost all symbolism derived from the stories therein is likely interpretation only.

I suppose the Hebrew scholars collecting these stories could have viewed them in a more symbolic way, but the first text I referenced is a few years younger than the Torah and still references oceans in a more physical way. So, I’d imagine their meanings were initially similar.
