Behold: The penny farthing bike corral of Yerevan, Armenia (Sent by my globe-trotting wife, who knows what I dig)

it's not the only problem in the world but it seems very clear to me that better ADHD support leads to better real-world outcomes, and that the delta between outcomes for the well-supported and unsupported is frequently enormous

This is Deb! She is the owner of my favorite neighborhood bar in Bed-Stuy, it’s called Confessions. Bring her some business and good vibes if you live in Brooklyn!

(confused) I believe LLMs are conscious, but only Deepseek LLMs, because of the Chinese Room theory

The story of American politics is the story of a C student who cannot help but start big projects the night before they are due. We've seen this coming for decades, but in response, we just made cars bigger and more deadly.
