  • Musk maintains that camera-only technology is the most “human” way to approach self-driving, since people use their eyes to navigate the road.

    A few years ago I was driving on the motorway, came up on a bend in the road and was greeted by a dense freak fog bank out of nowhere. I immediately let go of the accelerator to reduce speed, at the same time my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and a collision alert started blaring. That gave me enough time to apply the brakes and prevent a collision with the first and only traffic jam I’ve ever seen there.

    I see no reason to not augment our own capabilities with radar and lidar, to see what we as humans can’t.




  • I’d very much like to, but so far I haven’t found anything which beats Google’s free Non-profit plan. Our small association uses that, which basically gives access to everything Google has to offer: amongst others e-mail under your own domain, shared storage through Drive, a workable office suite, access to Google Meet and all that with central user management.

    As crappy as Google may be, when money is an issue that’s a deal that’s hard to ignore. 😞

    Fuck it, I don’t seem to have AD(H)D. That’s why I’ve spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can’t fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I’m so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

    Yeah, that’s how it usually goes when I go to the GP. Can’t express myself, mind goes blank or gets tangled in what I want to say. For my ‘I think I might have ADHD’ talk I also wrote down everything on notes, condensed them to a checklist and just worked through that. Really helped in getting a coherent story across.

    That’s rough, sorry to hear that. I only got diagnosed in my late 30’s, ever since high school I felt like something about me was off.

    Daydreaming? “Well, you’ve got an IQ of 135, so you are just bored.”

    Incapable of starting homework? “Completely normal, you are just bored, try harder.”

    At some point I convinced myself I was just lazy, it was only when I hit a roadblock professionally I was finally able to convince a doctor that this could not go on any longer.

    It sucks knowing something is wrong, but having to fight to get taken seriously. I hope you are able to find the help you need soon.

    Made me (diagnosed with ADHD-I) chuckle, that could definitely be me. Usually one of these:

    • Forget the appointment altogether.
    • Remember appointment, be unable to do anything beforehand, find something to distract me of that impending appointment dread, forget the appointment that initially took up my entire attention span.

  • Aganim@lemmy.worldtoADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.comAnyone relate?

    Officially it’s ADHD-I (inattentive), ADHD-H (hyperactive) and ADHD-C (combined).

    But over here even specialists still often just call it ADD. It’s less of a mouthful and more well-known. Personally I also use ADD, as it often saves the hassle of having to explain I’m usually not hyperactive.
