Jesus...these ghouls truly have no bottom to the depths of their depravity. The US elected a guy who bankrupted two casinos to transform the entire economy into a casino...

betting on turtle races all the way down.

But they elected him to hurt the brown people, not them!

Conservatives have an incredible ability to care when something affects them personally.

Did the hackers get accidentally added to the Signal group chat where they shared a link to the Google Drive that currently holds all employee data?

AI is a rocket motor.

Doesn't matter where we're going, as long as we get there FAST!

It's a sickness.

Pretty convenient if you are pointed at the moon though, because there is no other way you’ll get there.

Bear in mind, the LLM doesn't need to breathe. You do. Slow down.

I've been trying to motivate myself to read more. I also have ADHD and the constant content drip is like catnip, despite my best efforts (switching to a Minimal Phone, disabling my youtube feed/history, etc...)

I used to be a voracious reader and I LOVED books. They were the distraction I used to escape the world, rather than youtube videos. Or I'd pick up my guitar. Or teach myself how to set up an IRC server. I miss the days when I had that kind of attention and desperately wish I could get it back.

You've given me hope that it's possible.

I have ADHD. What I found that works for me: 1) ban Meta, TikTok and the like from your life. It will take awhile, but you will feel better. This improved my life more that quitting cigarettes. 2) physical exercise several times a week. Go to gym, run, walk, whatever. As long as you get sweaty and exhausted. I find it needs to be pretty hard exercise. My brain is silent after workout for a bit. 3) This sounds crazy, but I swear it works. But a timer on 20minutes. Then just stair at your hand or the empty wall in front of you trying to do the whole 20. After that your brain is so screaming for dopamine that washing dishes feels like a drug. 4) in general, try to be bored. Being bored is good. Having nothing to do is good. Then you just have to be by yourself and think your thoughts. 5) after being bored read, write, play guitar or draw. You will notice how much easier it is to do that and how much your brain rejoices.

Anyway, these work for me.

Much appreciated. I generally know all of this, but being reminded that it really works helps.

It is def possible. There's a quack on Tiktok claiming ADHD is 'the failure of exec function' and 'no matter what you won't achieve your goals' which is definitely not true. But then he is selling pills, so it makes sense.

ADHD can worsen if:

1. you avoid sunshine and daily walks in nature. 2. don't sleep early and skip morning exercise and breakfast. 3. watch short videos or even long ones for 'fun'.

After taking care of these three, the next step is to claim your attention back by reading long books. It's not that difficult. As all real ADHDs know, even doing toilet needs dopamine and is hard to do (boring). So I place a book on the ledge beside me, and when I toilet, I just read. I've read four such novels in two months now, and all in the toilet!

I discovered now that I can read anything just as fast and my attention stays and my brain works better. Try it. Trollope is great, but only if you're a overthinker like me. I recommend Lewis's "The Monk" if you're into morality/ethics + adventure, or Lermontov's "A hero of our time" if you want to see poetry in prose, and also learn a lot of street wisdom (the kind we ADHDs usually lack). I read both BTW (see my blog for reviews, link on my HN profile).

And finally, don't ever be discouraged. That mental model is easy to fall into, but there are many mental models! :)

Starting Oct 22, packages from foreign and Canadian online pharmacies will be prohibited from entering the U.S. if the same medication is sold domestically or if the foreign pharmacy targets U.S. buyers.

Source?

Yeah, it would...and yet, they covered that as well with another recent change: Packages from foreign and Canadian online pharmacies will be prohibited from entering the U.S. if the same medication is sold domestically or if the foreign pharmacy targets U.S. buyers.

It is rarely enforced though. And the pharmacies will just replace it and ship it again.

It was rarely enforced, prior to what GP explicitely called out as a recent change, that will come into effect October 22. We'll see what happens by end-of-year, though I wouldn't count on pharmacies replacing and re-shipping

They don't do that, yet. And you still don't own your games. Screw Sony too.

Can't argue with you there. There's a ton of cool projects that people have vibecoded, and exist in domains where the fact that it's possibly insecure/poorly optimised/unmaintainable by humans doesn't really matter much. e.g. porting retro systems to, or writing new utilities for MiSTer FPGA. I love the platform, and the more stuff I can run on it, the better. Bugs are annoying, but not critical. The community gets software that may have never existed otherwise.

But still, somehow, when I see a Claudish README, it instantly gives me the ick. Write about your project. Tell us why you built it. Talk about the problems the bot helped you work through. I'm not going to judge you for not being able to code it all up yourself - but at least write the README in your own voice and tell me why you cared enough to do it.

And pushed on poor people by elites in government as a means of control.

Surprised this article made it past the editors, given the involvment of the Trump family in current betting markets.
