I think when it comes to exploitation by corporate interest, having ADHD makes you 10x more vulnerable.

We should create a list of adhd resources... Wondering if we can get a sticky from the mods.

Reminds of the "out of sight, out of mind" phrase which is used a lot by the ADHD community. Essentially, we tend to forget stuff either because we are hyperfocused on something (common ASD trait too), or because our working memory sucks. As a result, whenever something gets out of our sight, we tend to forget about it.

For example, yesterday I almost burnt my food because I decided to quickly reply to a message. Before I realized it, an hour had passed and I was rushing to the kitchen to save whatever I could.

Are you experiencing something similar?

Thanks btw, I wasn't aware of the term "Object Permanence", here is a wikipedia link for anyone interested:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_permanence

Object permanence is the understanding that whether an object can be sensed has no effect on whether it continues to exist (in the mind). This is a fundamental concept studied in the field of developmental psychology, the subfield of psychology that addresses the development of young children's social and mental capacities. There is not yet scientific consensus on when the understanding of object permanence emerges in human development.

I wish a good day back at you 😁

While I agree with most of what you say, I have a personal anecdote that highlights the importance of performance as a feature.

I have a friend that studies economics and uses python for his day to day. Since computer science is not his domain, he finds it difficult to optimize his code, and learning a new language (C in this case) is not really an option.

Some of his experiments take days to run, and this is becoming a major bottleneck in his workflow. Being able to write faster code without relying on C is going to have a significant impact on his research.

Of course, there are other ways to achieve similar results, for example another friend is working on DIAS a framework that optimizes pandas in the runtime. But, the point still stands, there are a tonne of researchers relying on python to get quick and dirty results, and performance plays a significant in that when the load of data is huge.

It's a lot, just that when I having eye contact my mind gets overloaded. Fan fact, I avoid eye co tact even when watching a show or a movie, I rarely look at characters faces and I miss a lot of facial expressions.

I am trying it out, got a subscription a couple of weeks ago. I went to unlimited searches right away since on a work day I heavily rely on search engines.

To be honest, I have nothing to say about it, which feels like a good thing considering that lately I have been complaining a lot about Google.

Never tried not-stimulants but I have read some studies that suggests that a combination works best for some people.

Out of curiosity, what side effects are you experiencing with stimulants?

IMO Lemmy is a social media, it allows people to socialize over shared interests. It doesn't need to facilitate IRL connections, even though they are likely to happen.

Have you tried the thing that has been on your mind for the last month (or more) but cannot get around it?

When I am in a rut, unable to do anything for over a week, usually there is something that I am stuck on...

It may sound boring, but I would appreciate a good open source alarm app for android.

WOW! https://github.com/modularml/mojo

Been looking for something like this, thanks a lot!!!!

Edit: Had a quick look at the docs. Mojo's initial build was published Sep2022, it's fairly young, but seems to be getting a lot of attention (on GitHub they have the same number of stars as mypy 🤯).

For anyone interested, their roadmap is an interested read. They seem to be taking a step-by-step approach, trying first to nail down core features first before moving to stuff like python inter-op and syntactic sugar.

Mojo still doesn’t support classes, the primary thing Python programmers use pervasively! This isn’t because we hate dynamism - quite the opposite. It is because we need to get the core language semantics nailed down before adding them. We expect to provide full support for all the dynamic features in Python classes, and want the right framework to hang that off of.

The "why mojo" section give a lot of background too. They are implementing an ML-IR compiler, which is really promising for optimization (think all the goodies we could use from LLVM).
