This authors problem isn't GitHub it's the fact that they used Rust when they should have used Go. Never would have had this issue

Adderall XR + to-do lists

For work purposes I keep hand written To Do lists that I re-write every week or so

This is in addition to the teams Jira tickets and Scrum etc

There is no "switching off" your just f-ed

It's always extremely weird to me when people have to make this distinction because I was under the impression that ALL Adderall prescriptions are for the XR extended release which comes in capsules full of small beads of medication. No one should be taking Adderall IR instant release tablets. Those things have almost no reason to exist. I really don't understand who is taking those things and where people are getting the impression that IR tablets are a normal Adderall formulation. "Long acting" Adderall has been the norm for decades now and I haven't even seen or heard of anyone taking IR tablets since like the early 2000's

I was given a prescription for XR. It took me a month or more to even try it, because I’d sleep in, then it would take me a while to get moving, and by that time I was worried it would still be active with the idealist it me would think I should go to bed. Something that didn’t last as long would give me much more control.

Because there is ritalin and concerta, I think it's just easier to understand and explain. Im less familiar with adderall but by searching a few times IR XR and Vyvanse are still prescribed? and adderall ir is also approved for narcolepsy at least.

The XR mechanism is shit compared how vyvanse and concerts manage theirs.

If you’re a slow metaboliser you end up getting a big overlap around 3hours in which can be quite unpleasant, hence the non XR compound

If I take the lowest dose concerta I will not sleep that night no matter how early i take it. This was pretty devestating when I was younger and not mature enough to realize what was going on. Parents were obsessed with ADD medication at the time. I think vyvanse or xr adderall would be a similar nightmare for me.

Interesting.

I had similar issues with XR methylphenidate and Dex, but concerta and vyvanse were find if I took them first thing.

I suspect a bit insignificant amount of people are slow metabolisers and are having a shit run with stimulants as a result

Yes. Never tried the others. stratera - weird side effects quit immediately. ritalin is good. concerta also good... too good. Havent tried it in years Id only guess if anything Im slower if older.

Using LLM for programming work is a skill that takes practice and sometimes a little luck, just like Google searching for help with programming work.

It takes practice to figure out which things the LLM handles well and how best to present your problems to the LLM to get a good result.

It take luck that the specific things you're trying to get results for are things the LLM actually can handle well.

Gotta use Scroll Reverser unfortunately. Sometimes even that breaks though. Sad

Shortcuts.app and AppleScript works for this.

This is a fake issue. You should just be using window snapping which finally is included directly in the os

> I'm sure AI can easily get to the 99%, but does it help with the rest?

Yes the AI can help with 100% is it. But the operator of the AI needs to be able to articulate this to the AI .

I've been in this position, where I had no choice but to use AI to write code to fix bugs in another party's codebase, then PR the changes back to the codebase owners. In this case it was vendor software that we rely on which the vendor hadn't fixed critical bugs in yet. And exactly as you described, my PR ultimately got rejected because even though it fixed the bugs in the immediate sense, it presented other issues due to not integrating with the external frameworks the vendor used for their dev processes. At which point it was just easier for the vendor to fix the software their way instead of accept my PR. But the point is that I could have made the PR correct in the first place, if I as the AI operator had the knowledge needed to articulate these more detailed and nuanced requirements to the AI. Since I didn't have this information then the AI generated code that worked but didn't meet the vendors spec. This type of situation is incredibly easy to fall into and is a good example of why you still need a human at the wheel on projects to set the guidance but you don't necessarily need the human to be writing every line of code.

I don't like the situation much but this is the reality of it. We're basically just code reviewers for AI now

> Go should have similar difficulties with cross compilation

It doesn't. Go code can be cross compiled for any OS and any CPU arch from any supported system. And it comes out of the box that way. You don't have to go out of your way to install or configure anything extra to do it.

We’re not talking about go here. This is true for rust. The issue is building against C libraries and APIs for a different OS. Unless go has done some magic I’m unaware of its the same problem, just cgo isn’t super popular in the Go community

This is such a big deal and I wish more people talked about it in these types of blog posts.

I used to be a Python programmer and there were two things that destroyed every project;

- managing Python dependencies

- inability to reason about the input and output types for functions and inability to enforce it ; in Python any function can accept any input value of any type and can return any type of value of any type.

These issues are not too bad if it's a small project and you're the sole developer. But as projects get larger and require multiple developers, it turns into a mess quickly.

Go solved all these issues. Makes deployment so much easier. In all the projects I've done I estimate that more than half have zero dependencies outside of the standard library. And unlike Python, you don't have to "install" Go or it's libraries on the server you plan to run your program on. Fully static self contained executable binary with zero external files needed is amazing, and the fact that you can cross compile for any OS+ CPU arch out of the box on any supported system is a miracle.

The issues described by the original post seem like small potatoes compared to the benefits I've gotten by shifting from Python over to Go

You can switch your order. They anticipated that some folks would want the Round instead and said that entire reason they announced this before the Time 2 is shipped is so you can change your order to Round if you want to

Why is it way better? I like the 2 Duo and I'm sad it's sold out. Would happily buy it off you if you'd like to email me.

Huh? There was no Kickstarter, just pre-orders. And when they announced the Round they said that anyone who preordered a PT2 can flip their pre-order and keep their place in line.

My guess is that part of the reason they decided to make the round is that they got so much interest in Pebbles in general, and so many requests for the Round specifically. I don't think they would have wanted to take the risk from the beginning without knowing the demand.
