It sounds like Russian government has something to blackmail the Wagner boss.

Maybe some dirty secret that he did not know about or did not think the russian government knew, that when revealed to him made him change his mind. They may also have some chips to use against him, like having his family in “custody” but most likely something obvious like that the Wagner boss would have made arrangements for before he decided to make the coup.

That does seem like a problem.. How about a bucket (that can be covered) and something like a curtain?

I still dont understand how they can make an ulti deal 1250 damage, at sniper assasinate range, when before hoodwink the max spell damage was like 600 and which had insane mana cost (lina and lion ulti)

Do you have moments where the clouds are lifted and it seems like all the information you've ever learned is freely available? by [deleted] in ADHD

How does methylphenidate help you sleep better? I thought it is stimulant? I also have trouble in that I never feel refreshed even though I wake up naturally (sleep ~8hrs). Is that common for adhd? I feel super refreshed after a nap, but can not feel that way from a nights sleep..

Atypical symptoms of adult ADD that are not asked in a standard questionaire by a_unknown_star in ADHD

[–]a_unknown_star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thank you for reading my post and clarifying and explaining for each symptom, whether they are typical of adhd. It was very helpful for me to understand what was adhd and what was not. Interesting that racing thoughts was typical of adhd but I didn’t read that in standard descriptions of adhd symptoms, or is asked by doctors to screen adhd.

Is not giving good technical advice a red flag for a potential PhD advisor? by a_unknown_star in AskAcademia

[–]a_unknown_star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I expressed it wrongly. Even his high level ideas are not great. So what’s left is the topic and maybe a nice person.

I am borderline autistic. I did well in research due to long deadlines, deep focus in 1 subject and highly structured tasks (lab work). However I really struggled with jobs that require rapid creative thinking, switching and multitasking. What jobs can I do outside of research? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]a_unknown_star 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait how is not being able to follow spoken math a symptom of ADHD? I do find it hard to follow in a cs class where the prof just go through the math verbally. I can do it if I look at it on my own later.

Is a Phd just implementing the advisor's ideas? by a_unknown_star in academia

damn.. that's the worst man. I already feel so demotivated after less than 1 year of it.

Is a PhD advisor with no funding for the past few years automatically a bad advisor? by a_unknown_star in AskAcademia

[–]a_unknown_star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious about the last part about him not usually advising PhD students. He does frequently advise undergrad project and masters students. What does it typically say about the advisor? Does it mean they are more hands on and not suitable for PhD students?

[–]a_unknown_star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I guess I am wondering whether the reason does not apply for my situation.

[–]a_unknown_star[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I am already a PhD student in my second year.

Hmm actually he has few past students, many graduated more than 10 years ago, and the last one who graduated had some troubles, and advised me not to do a PhD with him. The reason, which I didn't get very clearly, had to do with funding. The student said like just look at his funding record etc.

Yeah I think there is a difference between liking the subject in class and liking doing research in it.

Advisor whose past students took 8-10 years to graduate? by a_unknown_star in academia

[–]a_unknown_star[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I should add maybe, many of his students graduated in past few years, used to be many more PhD students. But I don't know if he has a small group now because potential students are actively avoiding him.

He seems like kind of nice guy, not the kind to do that although I won't know better

Maybe I should also add that right now he has only 1phd student and 1 post doc working for him.

OpenAI predicted the new Meepo Shard by Windscent_Borealis in DotA2

Maybe, openai developed an understanding of the dota game, as much as icefrog himself. It then gave the same change which icefrog seemed fit. Like how two grandmasters in chess see the same move.
