  • By writing instructions to insist that it double verifies every (non obvious) claim with a minimum of two independent sources. I also told mine to always assume that the initial prompt is missing crucial context, and to ask as many follow-up questions as necessary until it has enough information to provide the answer to the question I’m really asking. (For speed and efficiency you can even make it give you multiple choice options to click on.) Because sometimes the problem isn’t with the LLM, but with the user asking the wrong questions.

    Using those two instructions alone, I’ve encountered considerably fewer hallucinations, and when I’m still not certain, I can simply click on the sources linked next to every single claim the AI makes.






  • I mean they could have just stopped after the Ultra 64. The GameCube was alright but there was no point in continuing to invest in Nintendo consoles after that unless you’re just a casual gamer.

    I mean the Wii was just an overclocked GameCube with motion controls. The WiiU was just a Wii with a slightly better (yet still outdated) GPU and a worse controller. The Switch 2 is literally just a Switch, again the only difference being that it uses slightly less ancient hardware.

    Nintendo gave up completely in innovating after the 90s. Now all they know how to do is cater to the mainstream and sue their most hardcore fans in the name of profit. I’m tired of their Late Stage Capitalism bullshit!




  • Stimulants like Adderall, PEA, Octodrine, and Propylhexedrine are a half decent band-aid, but they raise my blood pressure and make me feel “tweaky” so I don’t want to take them every day. They feel like they’re slowly killing me. I mean imagine taking meth every single day. That’s what it feels like for me. Unfortunately since tolerance builds rapidly, I have to take massive doses for it to continue working, further compounding the problem.

    So I try not to take stims more than a few times a month, because even once a week is too much for me. It sucks ass that there’s no long-term solution for ADHD. Just temporary fixes that rapidly stop working.


  • Me. I have a phone mount installed in the shower. I need my dopamine receptors to be constantly stimulated from artificial sources, or I can’t accomplish basic tasks like cleaning/showering/cooking. Executive Dysfunction is a bitch.

    People with normal dopamine levels just can’t relate, so I get a lot of flack and am often called lazy. Which is annoying as hell because I genuinely want to be a functioning adult, but my stubborn brain just refuses to let me accomplish anything without external stimulation. It’s torture being labeled something you’re not, just because someone can’t understand what it’s like when your brain won’t make the reward chemicals on its own. But it is what it is.

    Also BTW I’ve been doing this for a decade and only once has a phone actually died on me from water damage. So I don’t worry about it. I’m clumsy so I always have an insurance plan for my phones regardless…


  • IDK, I started blocking ads on every platform 20 years ago and haven’t looked back. Nothing gets through in any app on every device I own (PC, phone, watch, TV, etc.). I will go out of my way to make sure that an ad can never get to my eyeballs using every available tool at my disposal: browser extensions, alternative DNS servers, patched apks, service menu tweaks—you get the idea.

    I can’t wait until we have AR glasses that can adblock billboards and other ads in public too. We’re less than 5 years away from that tech being mainstream IMO.
