Yes, and lots of people in lower income countries do so using a Bluetooth keyboard.

Never had a chance with that necklace. And ceramics are hard. Nice game though, I enjoyed it!

Bless you for trying anyway. They’re truly precious, and I appreciate holding tiny sleeping babies takes absolute priority over photos.

I’m going to need more of these. Many more.

It’s a recap. I’m glad they’re still reporting on it at all but for anyone else who kept up with the previous coverage, you won’t find anything here you haven’t seen.

I don’t think you’re wrong about the inflammation, because naphthoquinones are anti-oxidants, and anti-oxidants are anti-inflammatory.

So, when dopamine or whatever else oxidizes into quinone form, they go and cause damage. This is “oxidative stress”, a term frequently co-opted by snake oil merchants, but it’s a real thing. When your body experiences oxidative stress, it triggers inflammation. Anti-oxidants help prevent oxidative stress by converting things like dopamine quinone back to catechol form, so they aren’t wreaking havoc. Converting it back to catechol also means it can do what dopamine is supposed to be doing for you. So you get both less inflammation, and the usable dopamine you need, which helps your ADHD.

Inflammation and oxidative stress is also a self-perpetuating cycle - inflammation will cause oxidative stress and vice versa. So how much of your experience might be from reducing inflammation and how much is from having higher concentration of usable dopamine is not easy to determine - if it is any of this at all.

There are some very benign experiments you can try with your diet if you’re interested. Natto is one of them, increasing the amount of leafy greens you eat like spinach (with a source of fat at the same time) is another, ideally alongside other colourful fruit and veg. If those also make you feel better, it may well be the quinones. If they don’t, it could still be the quinones, but something else might be contributing from the lapacho or your body. I do know from my own experience that when my diet has a lot of diverse fruit and veg that my symptoms also reduce, but… It’s hard to keep that up, for obvious reasons, so I’m actually interested in trying this tea myself.

Just don’t accidentally take your ADHD meds within 30mins to an hour of eating fruit high in Vitamins C, especially citrus. It won’t kill you or anything, but there is undesirable interaction.

science is not that interested in it after they made “cure for cancer” claims

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. It seems β-Lapachone is still being very actively studied for its anti-cancer properties. It’s clearly not a silver bullet, but almost nothing ever is.

ADHD studies are just not as attractive a research topic, especially compared to cancer, so despite the link between ADHD and oxidative stress / inflammation being relatively established, I doubt lapacho will be studied for this anytime soon.

You were robbed.

The theobromine another person speculated might be part of it, but then you might experience similar from dark chocolate.

My speculation is the quinones and ortho-quinones; they’re anti oxidants. Dopamine and serotonin both oxidize into quinone forms. In the quinone form, it seems they inhibit dopamine transport and slow cellular energy production, along with damaging some other stuff along the way.

But by introducing quinones from dietary sources, those steal the oxygen back from the dopamine quinone form to revert it back to its original catechol form.

Plant quinones aren’t hugely bioavailable though, and are not water soluble (they are absorbed in the small intestine), so it might not be this at all, especially because tea, or maybe it’s only partly this.

Given that you have a “temperamental” gut though, it could be affecting absorption of the other many quinones in lots of different foods. Perhaps have a look at how many different kinds of Vitamin K there are in foods and how much you get in your diet of each. (Ever tried natto? It’s an acquired taste though…)

but my trust in the scientific method is very strong

There’s trust in the scientific method, and then there’s actively dismissing what your body is signalling. If you want to get hardcore, try ruling out your water intake hypothesis by brewing a different kind of tea for a few weeks. Try ruling out your good mood hypothesis by actively forcing yourself to make the tea when you’re feeling shitty. Or asking your partner (if available) to brew it for you. Don’t get dangerous with the experiments, of course.

Science is the best we’ve got, but it’s not all-knowing or infallible.

It looks like ironfox disables WebGL by default to prevent device fingerprinting. If you go to about:config in your url bar, you can toggle it on to play and see how it goes. And then toggle it back off afterwards for the privacy.

Yeah the low res is really effective here. But check out top picture, bottom left, the head (?) on that eagle; also one of the attacking eagles.

Then look at how many of the eagles are in almost the exact same pose, often right next to each other.

The border lines of head feathers to body feathers is in the same shape for many too, with distinct lines - the difference with the Wikipedia photo is pretty stark for that aspect.

Sadly this is slop. The pics appear to be from Homer Spit, Alaska, where there are legitimate gatherings of eagles (which is kind of weird in itself), but these pics aren’t one of them.

They’ve added a lot of noise to the image to fit the body cam theme, but if you look closely, some of the eagle’s heads are just… off.

Here’s a photo of the real thing in the same general location as consolation.

Very fair point. I’m still inclined to think this wasn’t primarily a marketing decision, because I don’t think they would point the finger so directly at the government if that were the case. Perhaps the directive was a blessing in disguise for them though.

Either way, I think this is pretty telling for what we can expect over the next couple of months before we see any public SEC docs from either OpenAI or Anthropic. If it weren’t for the immense damage it will cause for innocent people, I might have broken out some popcorn. Popcorn might be my staple food for financial reasons soon anyway.

New drama just dropped: The US government has forced Anthropic to block access to Fable and Mythic for non-US nationals, so they’ve blocked it for everyone.

They’re claiming they believe it’s because someone has managed to find a “minor” vulnerability, but if that were the case, the directive specified non-US restrictions, which makes little sense for an actual security exploit.

My assumption is this is part of the hasty xenophobic and protectionist policy the US is particularly fond of right now, but the government has failed to account for the multinational nature of the companies using them. I anticipate this restriction will be partly amended to accommodate that issue after they try to extract a pound of flesh from Anthropic.

I question how robust Anthropic’s geoblocking and data residency infrastructure even is. Their data residency info is littered with caveats that would make an EU market regulator shudder.

The move to block it for everyone does conveniently feed into Anthropic’s “it’s too powerful” narrative, but Anthropic is keen to demonstrate in this case that the issue they believe has been raised also applies to OpenAI, so I don’t think this was part of their original marketing strategy - even if it can easily be folded into it.

I think it’s more likely Altman is behind this as part of their IPO strategy. There was other murmuring this weekend about OpenAI considering drastic price cuts to compete. It’s an IPO race to the bottom.

It looks like AI use is quickly becoming what I assumed it would be, a weapon of the rich. The question for me is whether that weapon is a footgun, or has a much larger blast radius.

I appreciate you

Draft filings involve feedback from the SEC, so I think they may be throwing shade on government employees, whom they can’t fire or control directly.

But I’m also thinking they may be salty about the aforementioned “as soon as Friday” articles, and then Anthropic beating them to filing.

Hard to tell how much of it is what, they’re toxic inside and out.

That CFO thing was definitely the case, at least a few months ago. I’m sure you’re right about the internal chaos, even if that CFO drama has changed, and it would align with how non-committal this announcement is.

I would love to be a fly on that wall.

3 weeks after the “as soon as Friday” news, OpenAI has followed Anthropic and confidentiality filed their draft S-1. But they sure don’t sound confident about it. Whole post in full (sans legal fine print):

We recently submitted a confidential S-1. We expect it to leak so we’re just announcing it. We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it’s a complicated set of tradeoffs and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best.

May, likely, if… Those are some weight-bearing subjunctive clauses.

Edit: also Altman’s eyeball tracker company is doing layoffs now

I think he’s saying that the call for “order, authority and economic freedom” is something out of the Nazi playbook, which it is. But if that’s the case, he really should have used at least a few more words to do so.

Notice there is no double sig in there. Also note that Rodnovery is a neopagan religion, associated with nationalism. It’s the Slavic equivalent the Norse pantheon fetishism you see in the West in the form of Odinism.

You should assume they’re Nazi symbols because they are, even if Nazis stole a lot of symbols from everyone else. The sig was first adapted into the double sig in 1929 to be used as the Schutzstaffel logo
