I keep forgetting that this stupid AI bubble hasn’t popped yet and I’m always surprised someone is trying to add it to their business

If I’m remembering correctly vision is movement based, but animals have lots of ways to deal with it. Humans and other species that can move their eyeballs just like vibrate their eyes. But birds like chickens rely more on head bob I think. Couldn’t tell you what kind of muscles a tyranasaur has in its eyes.
Also being wrong on the Internet is the best way to find the right answer. So tell me how I’m wrong.

What do you mean stop damaging it? What makes it sound like I’m not working with my brain? What makes it sound like I’m not exercising my brain?
No I’m not going to stop doing sports. I’m doing a lot to work with my brain, and I’m always learning something new.
I’m learning sumi-e painting to go with my calligraphy, I’m taking the time to get back into programming. This is my second year mountain biking and I’ve gotten pretty good at it over the summer. I journal every day and reflect, I’ve been making a lot of progress being less critical of myself. In doing all those things I’ve felt my social skills slip, so now I’m putting in the effort to be around people more and be vulnerable around them.
And yet I can feel places where my brain isn’t as strong as it used to be. I’m accepting of that and trying to love myself in spite of my shortcomings. I don’t need to optimize for everything, I can just focus on what’s important to me.

My friend is going through concussion rehabilitation right now and is working with one of the best doctors in the field. She has not been prescribed any medication at all. It’s been 9 months maybe? Right now she’s onto the stage where she need to get her heart rate up with exercise. Though it took a long time for doctors to actually start taking her symptoms seriously and she bounced around between a lot of them before she got where she is now.
We’ve had lots of talks about the recovery process, how you can train your brain to get better at certain things. And I’ve been doing lots of stuff to train my brain. But still friends will bring up symptoms they have and I’ll be like, oh shit I didn’t know that was concussion related!
But I think some of my symptoms are just going to be there for life. Language processing, memory (some memory has improved with training but sometimes I just get stuck and can’t think of a word or name or whatever), visual artifacts, sound sensitivity, and I don’t know if it’s related but I definitely get depressed.
I think with training you can improve your life experience, but I’m not sure you’ll ever get back to what it would be like without a concussion. Also I’m sure the 4-7 years of binge drinking didn’t help either.

Currently 29. Noticed mental decline after concussions in my youth and a few years of heavy drinking. I don’t fall on my head as much and I don’t really drink anymore, but I’m not sure how much of what I’ve lost I’m going to get back.
- Comment on Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I find it can be useful in some stages of writing or researching. But by the time I’ve got a finished product there’s really no AI left in there.
- Comment on Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure how people can use AI to code, granted I’m just trying to get back into coding. Most of the times I’ve asked it for code it’s either been confusing or wrong. If I go through the trouble to write out docstrings, and then fix what the AI has written it becomes more doable. But don’t you hate the feeling of not understanding what you’ve written does or more importantly why it’s been done that way?
AI is only useful if you don’t care about what the output is. It’s only good at making content, not art.

- Comment on All while the skeletal, crumbling, dusty bones of an econ major pulls business backwards into hell. 5 weeks ago:
I think we have different definitions of what passing knowledge, and familiarity. I think what OP is saying is that folks should leave college knowing how to think and reason mathmatically, philosophically, and scientifically. Everyone knows you don’t actually learn anything in undergrad, but you should at least know how to problem solve in your field. OP is just saying that maybe that problem solving should cast a wider net, I think.
Why should they? Everything is multidisciplinary. Even a pure mathematician needs to know how to communicate their ideas within their field.

Ah I get it now, yup that is shitty. I have some compassion for someone who was stupid enough as a kid to enlist. But only for active members? Love how in America we all get fucked over, unless you win the wealth lottery.
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit 1 month ago:
Maybe I’m weird, but I guess I don’t care about military discounts. I probably just don’t have much experience with veterans. But like we give senior citizens discounts some places, because it’s expected they don’t have much money. And there’s lots of old folks who need it. Haven’t military folks traditionally had a hard time reintegrating? Like isn’t that the plot of “the forever war”? If it helps the ones who need it then good. Helping people in need is a good thing. I’m probably missing something so let me know what it is.

Damn, that’s a hard choice. I don’t really want kids either, but sometimes the hormones hit hard. Definitely get your sperm frozen at least.

I work in a very rural area, sometimes you have to slow clients down and tell them to appreciate the natural beauty around them(clouds, mountains, trees, rainbows/sundogs, etc.). I’m going to blame this on phones more than urbanization though

And do you get good muscle recovery from this diet? I do a lot of running and cycling, eating (high carb) during my activities has really helped faster recovery and helped control cravings later.

How can you form coherent thoughts at 3%? I would only be able to think about food

- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 5 months ago:
So what I’m not understanding is, why are we putting people in jail for something that isn’t causing harm? Unless, is there something about overstaying your visa that is harmful?
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 6 months ago:
I’m gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 6 months ago:
I feel like creator content isn’t about quality, but form. People watch the same TV shows from decades ago because they are familiar. Creator content is kinda like that, it’s cozy. It’s something you can just put on and zone out to. It’s interesting and entertaining, but it’s not very intense. Its usually people sharing their passions, so it feels very human and relatable too.
But also there’s probably something to be said about how much it cost to get started on YouTube vs how much it cost to produce a TV show or movie.

Those get clogged up on pre patinad copper unfortunately, and a sharpie does not work well on black prefa unless you are trying to hide a scratch.

When I was doing roofing the pica dry mechanical pencils made things so much better. Sure a pencil works good on wood, but what about when I have to mark gray sheet metal? You need something that comes with different colors.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 6 months ago:
My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.
I can’t say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don’t even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!

I don’t really have a problem with this. I paid for a lifetime quite a long time ago. Right now I only use Plex for plexamp and everything else is on jellyfin.
Is finamp at a point that it can replace plexamp yet?

I think the problem is that some women are stuck inside the bodies of men. And from what I hear, that’s not a pleasant experience.
