i unironically think that i know more than most endos i could have, so it's more worth it for me to do diy so i don't have to listen to them
who knows more about hrt:
- someone who went to school for ~14 years about a variety of topics with a little specialization into hrt
- someone who lives it

i don't think humans have adapted to having all of the knowledge you could possible want at your fingertips at all times in the single most advanced piece of technology in your pocket at all times
20 years ago we did not have this, do we even consider the ramifications of never being bored again?

i definitely don't have adhd but i have most of the symptoms of adhd and when i take amphetamines i'm able to actually do the things i put my mind to, it's crazy
i really really wish we lived in a world where i could go to a doctor and say "give me 15mg amphetamine XR" and to be able to get it

[has not read the article yet] there are ways you can use LLMs that enhance learning — such as looking through documentation, being a rubber ducky for ideas/debugging, literally asking "explain how this works" — but vibecoding something does not let you learn it

I’ve been thinking a lot about what are almost like dark patterns in LLMs that make them much harder to use for learning about coding than they need to be. They’re designed around taking action, and it can be hard to get them to just support in you in learning

AI is antithetical to learning
LLM agents can write a lot of code for you very fast, but they also take away opportunities to learn and grow.

i saw someone complaining about needing to have a gpu with good raytracing to play some new games but like... i'm sorry i don't think game devs should be limited by *your* hardware choice.
yes newer games could be more optimized or whatever but you can already play ~99% of all games with that gpu

didn't they roll back at least the 24 hour time delay or something for the android changes? also i don't know how often scams are done by "install this random apk" but i think it's fine to have more than 0 protection around it. maybe not this level but something at least

is that why my coworkers do that
I remember the exact moment, early in my transition, working in Copenhagen, when I realized I was being perceived as a woman by my male coworkers. I realized it because they were interrupting and talking over me in meetings.
One after another, women reported being sexually harassed by male supervisors, getting paid less than their male peers, getting passed over for promotions, getting talked over in meetings.

what are people's experiences with helix + steel support? i've always wanted to try helix but i'm a bit put off of the lack of stable plugins
if it's fine without them i'd be happy to hear that, i just want it to look slightly nicer like my current neovim config
