I'm designing small 3D printed rc boat and I want to make sure it floats so I'm using slicer to calculate displacement but the geometry is getting bit complex, so now I'm fighting openscad to make it boolean my volumes correctly.

Baltic sardines in shambles

I think it's "this one is good but if I swipe the next one can be even better", i.e. classic dopamine addiction. Stop digging!

i would place my money on the vast gap between effort and reward. you dont even need to think "if i swipe..." because the thought takes longer than the action. So why would you stop to consider what you might have to gain by swiping when you can literally swipe and find out faster than you can think about it?

Then you go about your regular day and suddenly everything feels harder in comparison. You have to think about what youre doing, you have to coordinate or plan your actions, you have to put work in. The swiping rots your ability to maintain and coordinate your chain of actions.

it weakens your ability to have intent.


it starts to sound scarily close to opioid addiction

thankfully it is much more of a daily cycle than a true addiction. if you spike dopamine in the first hour of being awake, you effectively addict yourself for the day. whether you follow through on that addiction or not is less relevant, it kind of shapes your baseline. So you might just have a harder day than usual because it was a dopamine deprived day and instead of having a low baseline you primed your brain for a very stimulating day by having a high-dopamine activity in the morning.

A slot machine affect. Viewing our society as an addicted one clarifies most of our social ills.

This is it. Modern social media is a Skinner box. The context switching is a feature (short term dopamine hit in exchange for deep learning).

There's your answer


Possibly, deffo would have been a big factor. Anecdotally though, I forgot to take these supplements for a while recently, just got out of the habit, and definitely felt worse again for a bit. But, could have been a coincidence/something else

I have the opposite problem. I'm receiving 30 spams every day with links to Google's own domain: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46665414


It reminds me of elevator boys protests in early 1900s against automatic elevators (now called elevators)


Doesn't work on my Android phone because no GPU (but I have webgl is that not enough?)


https://caniuse.com/webgpu latest Android Chrome should have WebGPU support. You might need to update.


You have a GPU, and you have WebGL but what's missing is WebGPU support, the latest way of doing GPU-stuff in browsers.


Here is the breakdown of WebGPU support across various devices: https://web3dsurvey.com/webgpu


You have as much GPU as you have Web.


3 days ago something similar was found in my country: https://my.sme.sk/nitra/c/na-poli-sa-prepadla-poda-vyskum-od...


Not LLM, just good old Monte Carlo. I made pedalgen [1] some time ago, it generate random guitar pedals, check the Results section.

Why are you letting kids that can't read pass the grade?


US schools have become one big participation trophy.


That would be harmful to their self esteem.


"No child left behind"


"Every child college bound"

(Who knew this was the financial aid industry slogan, and "bound" meant "shackled", not "headed to"?)
