To be fair, if anyone is surprised after the two red flags that are "ByteDance" and "AI", it's on them.

That was true 20 years ago, but Ford has been moving more and more towards a global strategy.

The Ford Escape, Explorer, Ranger, Focus, Mustang, Mach-E, are available in both US and Europe, and I think now even the F-150 and Bronco have made it into Europe. Plus the Transit commercial range.

So no, they're not quite separate anymore. Some models get developed in Europe (Focus, Escape), some in the US (Mustang, Ranger) but the general goal is to sell across the Atlantic.

I have a similar view. Plant things that are fun. It is a hobby and it needs to be that. Why bother planting potatoes when they take up a good amount of space and they're cheap?

I plant chives as well, rocket because I love it, weird varieties of chillies, and I'm thinking of adding also other herbs that I can't get easily or that are a faff to get. Coriander is a good example, as I have to get a bag whenever I have to use a tiny bit and the rest goes to waste.

Hobby farming is fun and a great way to get you (and the family) to eat more veggies. Subsistence farming is just painful.

I've just had to send this to a friend who always complains (jokingly, of course) about how I do exactly this.

This is like the equivalent of forcing a monkey to wait tables, and then complaining when it takes a shit in the middle of the restaurant.

It's a language model. What did they expect? If they wanted a software engineer, they should have hired a software engineer. Everyone is more than welcome to use a random text generator to spit out code, but I have zero sympathy for those who complain because they don't like the random text it's generated.

When they finally crash and burn (or sure, when they develop an AGI 🙄) this has potential to be an incredibly dramatic biopic. I hope it gets a good director.

TIL! I saw the photo and immediately went to wikipedia to confirm that. It looks clearly like a corvid in this photo.

I think that might have been the ex, this is the new crush.

That's quite frequent. My Not-a-doctor, simplified understanding is:

Caffeine doesn't target processes related to dopamine but it's a stimulant. Outside of hyperfocus mode, ADHD brains are constantly understimulated because the lack of dopamine makes things not feel engaging and interesting. This is why our thoughts race, our brain is struggling to find ALL THE THINGS (thoughts, hobbies, worries, plans, memories) that might give it the stimulation it needs.

Since coffee is a stimulant, the brain gets what it's looking for and doesn't need to race through all the possible thoughts, it's happy. The two main problems are:

• Coffee doesn't have a controlled release or amount of caffeine, so the effects can be at points unpredictable (peaks, crashes, jitteriness, sudden releases).
• Since it doesn't affect dopamine production/intake/etc, it doesn't help with the "uuuughhhh I can't be bothered to do this" that happens when the brain can't see/understand there is a reward.

My fiancé has combined type nominally, but other than racing thoughts and some stimming, he's definitely the quiet type. I would say that's probably the case for many (most even?) AuDHD people, as autism doesn't usually go hand in hand with the endless social battery that the ADHD stereotype portrays.

So the topics discussed are sci-fi, and politics. Not technology then.
