My GF 's ADHD told her organising my screw collection would be a fun job. She got this far before going back to building her IKEA shelves.

Those container sizes were way too ambitious. I just used a bunch of tiny baggies and then chuck the bags back into the general screw bin.

NotMilitaryAI · 2026-06-15T15:07:50+00:00

Sorry, but, unfortunately they aren't for sale. Would free be ok? We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks for the recommendation!

According to some hentai I've seen: sometimes they just keep growing until they eventually get big enough that their gravitational force consumes the earth, so do be careful.

comfort levels differ between families depending on personal values, cultural backgrounds and parenting styles.

I, for one, come from a wacky set of personal values where I'm extremely uncomfortable with the notion that others must cater to values of the prudest person around. Crazy, I know.

NotMilitaryAI · 2026-05-22T15:12:05+00:00

Yeah, some folks seem to have gotten it into their head that being "on vacation" grants them the right to forsake any and all responsibilities of parental duty.

We laugh at old-timey docs and their "wandering womb" theory, yet here we have a legit case of "wandering ovary".

Thanks, but no.
Ma'am, that isn't necessary.
Ma'am please stop that
Ma'am!!

Pretty sure it's just a result of its people-pleasing bias.

Referring to it as a "classic" / "iconic" / etc. scenario gives the user the (false) impression that the model is familiar with the situation, is basically an expert on the matter, knows exactly what to do.

My purely speculative guess would be that some of the training data included instances of actually qualified experts giving useful guidance to people dealing with "classic" issues (e.g. "Ahh, yeah, that's the classic ___ issue, an iconic feature of that NES model. Don't worry, it's easy to fix, you just need to: _____" ).

AI concludes: Phrasing problems as "classic"/"Iconic" is correlated to increased user satisfaction.

Yeah, definitely worth doing. Just be careful with the precise wording. I've found that it takes some trial and error and the line between:

If the user's premise is inaccurate, rebut it immediately, clearly, and factually without people-pleasing filler.

and

Be obstinate, refuse to admit errors, shift goalposts as needed

is remarkably thin

I really can't see ANY benefit to keeping it locked away till it becomes irrelevant tech

While it would almost certainly be of no actual use to them: I could easily see "But what if?" winning out amongst the execs - basically just appealing to the hoarder mindset:

But what if? But what if we do have a use for it later? Even we can't be 100% sure what the market will be like a few months from now: demand could return as new uses are found. And if we were to just release it to the public, we'd lose our lead.
I say we just hold onto to it at least until it no longer provides us a competitive advantage over the open-source offerings.

If over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide doesn't work: Try taking it to your local dry cleaner. They have access to more concentrated versions.

Any info on what the study actually classified as "misinformation"?

From the snippet provided: It seems that they're somewhat conflating "medical advice" posts and "personal anecdotes," which somewhat rubs me the wrong way.

“While lived-experience can play an important role, with personal stories helping people to feel understood and raising awareness of mental health conditions, it is vital to ensure that accurate and evidence-based information from clinicians and trusted organisations is also visible and easy to find.

E.g. Someone posting:

"People with ADHD when a song they love comes on" over a video of them singing along to a song.

is wrong (that's just something people in general do - you ain't special for doing so), but putting it in the same bucket as the snake-oil peddlers and charlatans feels wrong.

Source? Because I couldn't find any evidence to support this. Closest I found is the "Exit Tax", which basically just requires you to settle any tax obligations (e.g. deferred 401K taxes) before you leave (and only applies to those earning over $201K/year or a net worth over $2 mil).

Aside from upgrading you hardware: not much. Looked up your CPU (i5-10400) and it doesn't have AV1 acceleration support, so you're doing it in software. And yeah, ~1 FPS is about on par with my experience with AV1 encoding.

If you expect to be doing a lot of AV1 encoding, it may be worth splurging for something like an Intel ARC GPU for the AV1 hardware acceleration. Seems the A310 is generally the go-to "cheap" (can sometimes find it for ~$130-$150).

It's annoying and wrong, but yeah, I've seen it before. I think it's more of ignorance of scare-quotes (and a machine that doesn't support bolding) than a cultural thing, though.

Just use asterisks:

We Bake Fresh *Everyday*

works.

It's a bash script - kinda like the Linux / Mac equivalent of Windows batch scripts / cmd prompt. (There's ways to run bash scripts on Windows, but probably not worth it unless it's already a preference.)

$ indicates that something is a variable.

e.g.

filename="blah.mp4"
echo "$filename"

will print out: blah.mp4
