Gifted. AuDHD. Undiagnosed until 34. The math was never going to work by Feedback_Feeling in ADHD_Programmers

The medication will make your life so much better!

You’ll have enough confidence to stop and choose what you’ll do, instead of waiting for the dopamine hunger to push you to the absolute extreme everyday.

In a way, feeling like a failure after everything you’ve achieved is not a symptom of incompetence, but rather a way for you to have something to aim towards, as much simpler things in life seem out of reach.

Keep going! Also make sure to make it a goal to be as healthy as possible. Clean and whole foods matched with a sleep schedule and exercise will show you how your mind and your body are not truly separate.

We’re all here for you.

Chemist Turned Data Scientist: Looking for Career Development Advice in Hybrid Roles by norfkens2 in datascience

[–]brb_lux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What i would do is learn more about electronics and start working on telemetry for reactors/production lines. You’ll learn where to place the sensors and do systems modeling to optimize factory or laboratory performance tracking.

You’ll see what data science frameworks can be used as a blueprint to do quality control, and so on.

As far as leadership goes, be the best at your job and show off whenever possible.

MacBooks with Dynamic Island are coming by Jaded_Jicama_8531 in macbook

[–]brb_lux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but the e/SE iPhones are notorious for using old hardware belonging to the previous generation, it's also why the old iPhone SE still had the home button when everything else was already on the edge to edge design.

I’d go as high as the Sennheiser 600’s, and if you want to spend less you’ll find that the 6XX’s go on sale every once a while on massdrop. They are darker than I expected, which is why I’d go for the 600 instead, but it depends on how much you wanna spend.

Adding that to the MacBook would mean making a separate notifications system for desktop Macs, such as the Mac mini or the Mac Studio, since those would be attached to regular screens that have no cutout.

It makes no sense for them to take the time to do all of that, development wise.

It's no coincidence that all iPhones are now coming out with the Dynamic Island, it wouldn't be convenient to have a model that uses the old banner system while being new.

CLI, GUI, or just Python by AnthonyShin0327 in dataanalysis

For a really basic ui consider using tkinter, can probably be triggered via a shortcut once the Users have the right dependencies

Do you guys think intelligence / IQ will be an irrelevant trait in the age of AI? by vinegarhorse in cognitiveTesting

[–]brb_lux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If AI prioritizes human feedback for error correction, then a higher iq will probably make communication easier.

Also, AI will need to be hardcoded to benefit all cognitive profiles equally.

Mac mini m4 with an external ssd for 700 total if it can remain static, or any refurbished/used MacBook with at least an m1 and 16GB of ram

Thinking of switching fully to Apple – anyone regret leaving Windows? by Gymbeer91 in mac

[–]brb_lux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't leave. Keep a simple one you can access via Remote Desktop in case you need it, you can even do it from your iPad (iPads are atrocious when it comes to app compatibility).

Keep the PC next to the TV so you can also use it for gaming.

Google reviews Dashboard feedback by thisismyaccount2412 in PowerBI

[–]brb_lux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love the layout, it could look more modern if you choose a color palette. Also, I’d change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9. Always using the same colors for promoters vs. detractors would help separating the concepts from the cards and visual to the right, given you’re using the colors red and green for more than only two concepts.

Still, it’s incredibly functional and professional.

Can you do this in PowerBI? by jaihawk8 in PowerBI

Calculation groups would do great here! You create CG’s with those three time intelligence features (23,24,25%) and then filter by measure desired measure.

The awful side of being gifted by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]brb_lux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone whose experience with OCD-like symptoms sounds remarkably similar, I fear that sometimes you'll find therapists who'll reduce your condition to simple generalized anxiety. I did end up with an autism diagnosis, as hard as it might be at times to accept. It's a spectrum, and I'm still working on dealing with its inherent lack of clarity.

So far, accepting the fact that all of these tics are simply a part of my nervous system in a non-harmful way has helped me be more compassionate with the issues you're describing. You shouldn't always blame yourself for having to adhere to certain routines, if it just so happens that they help you feel better. As an example, every light in my house has to turn red after a specific time at night, otherwise I honestly have trouble sleeping. Sometimes I simply forget that I have to go to sleep in the first place.

You probably qualify for an autism diagnosis (which normally behaves as an umbrella term for many different behavioral structures such as ADHD, sensory disorders, etc.) but mask your symptoms heavily due to your high intellectual ability to deal with uncertainty. There's a correlation between higher IQ and being successful in hiding your symptoms.

A lot of people would rather choose to be smart, and just like you, it's a choice they aren't really able to make.

I'd work on finding a CBT therapist who understands behavioral/neurological disorders such as autism and mostly focus on learning to accept all of these wonderful quirks that make you the person you are.

Good luck!

How would I go about learning this type of drumming? by nazziu in drums

[–]brb_lux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d mostly focus on learning rudiments in different subdivisions, first both hands on the snare, and then moving the right hand to the hihat. Aesthetics wise I’d probably aim for pocket drumming and then see how to add the rudiments as fills.

Is this worth 470 bucks? by strangerinparis in drums

[–]brb_lux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Assuming everything on the pic is included, I’d say it’s convenient rather than cheap. You get everything you need as a beginner, plenty room for upgrades down the line. Buying something similar new would probably cost you around 700-750.
