The withdrawals are fucking garbage from even mild abuse (3x prescribed). I passed out and cut my head. And was anhedonic. And lethargic.

And I started taking it as an adult. So I had 4 or 5 ADHD diagnoses under my belt.

I literally did the thing you’re not supposed to do.

my psych kept giving me everything by Adderall. So I went to one of those online doctors and got Adderall through her.

Then I just told my psychiatrist that I have Adderall prescription and she took it over.

For the record, she’s actually really reasonable and I like her but very conservative about the stimulants. Which when I finally got them were a revelation. Medication that actually works.

Awful take.

Everyone is capable of murder in the right circumstances.

That doesn’t make everyone a murderer.

Why didn’t I have you in my English classes peer reviewing my papers. Nicely done.

The dumber the technique, the less it should be used for this.

Not everything is a functional program though and side effects are important. Types can’t* represent this.

*Not for practical programs

Sure code can be cool for the same reason hip-hop is more than just the meaning of the words.

The typing is the rhyme scheme. The algorithm is the rhythm.

I don't want to write any code. I want to think about the design of the program and have it pop out of my head fully formed.

The latter gives me dopamine. The former gives me carpal tunnel.

I’m satisfied bouncing between the free tiers of Claude and ChatGPT

I usually only have like a few hard questions per day, where I have lots of unknown unknowns.

If the LLM doesn’t get me an answer within the free tier number of messages, it’s not gonna get there

I had no choice most of my career doing Rails.

Now I do C++ and I would fight to the death to keep autocomplete.

But Copilot I bought a license for a got a refund for after a few months. In the net, it wastes your time.

And I mean, copilot in particular is especially bad. It refuses lots of valid programming questions. Other LLMs are better. But they still are wrong a lot.

they’re still bad for generating any significant body of code.

They’re a little bit better about deciphering errors.

They’ll still bullshit* you and send you on wild goose chases.

But they should also have foreseen the routes for abuse. That's also their job.

The DMCA is a disaster.

I/O is just built on top of the tape. Real computers reserve a map of memory to I/O.

This is like saying a CPU isn't a computer. It's sort of right but sort of wrong, you know?

An algorithm designed for translating between human languages has now been shown to generalize to solving visual IQ test puzzles, without much modification.

Yes, I find that surprising.
