Problem with people today is a lack of empathy.
I see everyone banging on the #RFK brain #worms story and not enough sympathy for that poor little brain eating slug that starved to death in his head.

Journalist: The last time I spoke with Brian Mulroney, I asked him about his legacy. He told me that was for historians to judge now. So how would you, a political scientist, judge his legacy?
I'm not an historian of Canadian federal politics in the 1980s and 1990s, but I know several other _historians_ who are. They're not hard to find. Do your f'in homework CBC. @…

Personal, waiting through your life, ASD, sad
I suppose many people in the spectrum didn't have an easy childhood, especially if they lived in rural areas. Having difficulties bonding with peers, problems, solitude, bullying. However, the worst that you could have is having your parents tell the child that you just need to survive and wait, because one day you'll go a different school, meet new people and things will miraculously "be better". Because the child will take that literally, and make a point of their childhood to wait for this better day. It will believe that the problem is just a matter time, and then it will be solved.
Then comes the time for a higher grade school. And perhaps it will be a little better. But it won't be as great as it was promised. Perhaps you will cope better, perhaps you will find a better company, but you will never be neurotypical. And you will hear, once again, that you need to wait, and at the university things will definitely be just great.
Then comes the time for university. And again, it will be a little better, but never as good as it was promised. On the other hand, you will start realizing even more that you can't fit — that you've missed an important part of your life, that you lack the experiences that other people have, that you're a child that's suddenly ended up an adult between adults. And what will you hear? Of course, when you finally go to work, things will be even better.
And what's the truth? The future never brings anything better of its own accord. What it brings instead, is the realization that you've wasted the best years of your life waiting to be an adult. And then you are old, unhealthy and surrounded by people who sorted out their lives a long time ago. And people expect from you that you will work hard 5 days a week, and somehow manage to find more energy to sort out your own life at that.
And yes, as the old maxim says, you should just cope all these years and wait for retirement. Presuming you'll actually qualify for pension, that you'll be reasonably healthy and that the world won't burn completely by the time.

@… probably a hard reboot, because dells love to crash and burn unless you get lucky and your driver version is working.

There are a lot of valid criticisms of LLMs, but "they are useless" is definitely not one of them. Just went from "I have no idea how to write tests for this specific project setup I have before me" to "I think I know how to create these tests, let's write a few and ask for feedback" to finally arrive at "oh, there are some really neat convenience features in pytest that make it possible to write this in a significantly cleaner way", all in the space of two hours, by basically pair programming with ChatGPT. As long as you leave your brain turned on while using it, and keep asking good questions, it really can be a force multiplier in learning new things in an area you already have some knowledge in.
