  • How does the Steam Deck handle other distros / recommendations?

  • I would argue that the flexibility of Arch is what makes it a perfect base for other distros.

  • In what ways do you document your life? How often?

  • I'm autistic with quite a few ADHD friends. What I've gathered from sharing our experiences is that we all encounter similar problems with everyday life, but our internal experiences (and thus probably also the underlying causes) differ so much. For example, I may go to the kitchen because it's lunch time, but since that lunch time is interrupting my work, all of my mental energy is going towards trying to not forget the things I'm working on, which will often push out the reason I went to the kitchen in the first place. The experience I hear from all my ADHD friends is that they have new trains of thought entering and leaving their heads at all times, and those new thoughts are what make them forget their reason for being in the kitchen. Holding multiple thoughts is hard for me, while it seems to be the natural state of things for ADHD.

  • I had to do a double take on this. I thought the context was relationships at first.

  • So envious of all of you that have cheap farmer's markets. Where I am, my choices are

    • Grocery store: cheap, highly variable quality, support the conglomerates
    • Farmer's market: expensive, probably higher quality, support local farmers

    They're so much fun to walk through though. If only I could actually afford to buy from them.

  • New Kindle Feature Uses AI to Answer Questions About Books–Authors Can't Opt Out

  • I can understand objecting to it if it's used as training data, but it sounds like this is basically just "indexing" the contents of the book, similar to how a search engine works.

  • Local man would be angrier about Liberal's undemocratic floor-crossing scheme if it wasn't so funny to imagine Poilievre's face

  • Right, that's more or less how I understood it. I guess I didn't communicate it well.

    In any case, given that the voters understand that this is what they're working with, the most sensible thing to do (and what everyone probably does) is to vote for MPs based on party position. Even if we wanted to vote based on their personal positions, there's rarely enough information to make that possible.

  • I work in AI research, so naturally, AI is part of our day to day work. But when it comes to things like LLMs tools and other generative models, we rarely hear anyone talk about those. Sometimes, people will share their workflow, and that may involve LLMs to supplement traditional search engines for literature reviews for example. That's about the extent of it. No one really cares to talk about them much. No one pushed those tools on us. We just do our work with whatever tools we think are best.

  • I guess I don't understand the system then.

    Would you happen to know what it means when they say that the party allows a free vote?

    The government of Prime Minister Paul Martin supported the bill but allowed a free vote by its backbench MPs in the House of Commons.

  • To the best of my understanding, when an MP runs under the banner of a party, they're required by the party to vote in the same way as everyone else in that party unless otherwise specified (e.g. when we voted to recognize gay marriage). So when we vote on an MP, we don't care what the MP thinks because it has no bearing on how they vote in parliament. All that matters is what the party leader decides on.

  • Can you relate?

  • My autism experience is that I have a normal CPU and RAM, but usage for both are way higher than for the typical person.

  • It's always the clean up that gets you. I'd be making hummus a lot more often otherwise.
