My version would be “hugs, no high fives and happy to answer meaningful questions”

A hundred dictators is still better than a hundred and one dictator. When one approached a difficult task, it’s better to divide it into smaller tasks.

This difficulty to believe it’s actually quite fundamental to what’s happening.

If you like, I invite you to imagine what would be the explanation if these numbers were true. (Even adjusted for being dead and wounded)

101 artillery pieces is also quite something!

Nope. He just doesn’t care. That’s much worse.

Once I saw a categorisation I liked. There are three kinds of people: those who know what they want or like, those who know what they don’t like and the confused ones.

In other words, it’s totally fine even for neurotypicals not too know if something is better than the other, especially when it comes to subjective reactions based on subconscious or feelings.

Yes, the word is used for both meanings. I doubt ruskies are using it to describe their tactics, though.

If only there were a European country that is investing in the drone technology like their existence depended on it…

I’m not the OG commenter, but for me this is important because I see how gpt is replacing search, I can imagine they will play an increasing role in news. Which has two sides. One is the fact that people will read news summaries dinner by a system with a bias. Second is writing of the news with the same bias.

We’ve seen this before. Machine learning systems that were trained on past human decisions also learned biases from those decisions. Court ruling suggestions stronger for black than white. Job applicant analysis favouring men over women. Etc.

There’s a good book about that, if you’re interested: “Weapons of Math Destruction” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Math_Destruction

Thank you. I’m glad you see it the way I did.

Haven’t you heard about the human autism detectors? Those people who say: “Oh, but you don’t look autistic!”

We’re all sick of the dozens of apps on our phones

That day when I realised I’m not part of “we all”.

Do I really need my calculator to have maps function?

If they’re looking for a good location, Hague is just perfect.

Yeah, me too. Looks like this year will be make it or break it.

US’ help was critical so far and when it was paused for six months Ukraine noticed.

On the other hand, when it was paused, Ukraine noticed, but didn’t immediately fail. On top of that there were recent reports that Ukraine has enough supplies until summer. On top of that there Zelensky’s statement that Ukraine is now producing up to 30% of what it needs in the battlefield. And on top of that, while US help was significant, the contributions from other countries were also nontrivial and many of them invested into increasing production.

So all in all, US’ help was and stays important (even if it was quite often a little too late), but if it stops, I believe Ukraine can still win, but that will be quite bad for the States as Trump will not be able to claim this victory and also the military industry will lose quite a lot of advertisement when Ukraine wins with Owen, German, French, Korean or any other weapons.

And do it begins. Musk wants to become the new Hitler.

How soon till we start making time travel films about going back to stop him?

Not just opened by their military, but also apparently explicitly under sanctions.

Strict separation of work and personal devices, plus focus mode on my private phone for the work hours.

I often end up hyper focusing on the wrong work tasks, but at least they’re work related.

My personal experience is that there’s a direct correlation between my physical health and effectiveness of my ADHD medication.

My hypothesis is that since it’s about my brain capability to register and prioritise stimuli, the busier said brain is (with other body issues) the less likely it is too perform executive functions. This might be the general case, but since we start from the unfavorable position, it might be more debilitating for us.

(I’ve no idea why I’m using such a fancy language rn. Apologies)

So now they’re going to conscript him?
