virtually every task I try to do take me 2x-3x longer than everyone else. I believe this is an ADHD thing. I am not talking about procrastination here I am talking about something else. time blindness or general distractibility or poor planning or something, I'm not sure.

I just would like some scientifically supported solutions for this or at least some articles to read up on this phenomenon in order to try to work out my own fixes.
I am already searching for readings on my own but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask others for some extra help.

INFO ABOUT ME:
I already am medicated.
I have recently started employing CBT strategies that do seem to help.
I do not do any exercise but I plan on making cardio a mainstay in my routine (is this really as effective as I hear for ADHD?)
My sleep schedule is non-existent but even when it is solid tasks take forever.
I do not pay very close attention to my diet, I do not eat fast food or excessive amounts of sugar but that's it.

if you have any advice I would appreciate it if it wasn't in the ballpark of
>"put a loaded gun to your head and tell yourself that if you don't complete (X) task in (Y) minutes you'll fucking die."
Thank you in advance. I appreciate it.

Either realize you won't unfuck your life without discipline or stop being a coward and get meth.
ADHD is 70% deficits in willpower/discipline and maybe 30% actual neurological disruptions in the dopamine system. The fact that you haven't forced yourself to correct your routine to fix that 70% signals that the kiddy medication you're on won't help. That stuff is meant to help little kids with the 30% so they don't develop the 70%. You need to correct that 70%. Force yourself to be disciplined. Stop making excuses. Realize you are the only person who can fix your life. When you think of a task, do it. Force yourself to eat better. Force yourself to exercise. This is the only way.
If you're too much of a self-loathing man of inaction to fix your life then purchase methamphetamine off of the dark web, test it for fentanyl, weigh it using a good scale, and dissolve it in water. You will want a 15mg dose daily. Weigh out 1.5 grams and dissolve it in 100 ml of water with 250mg of baking soda, then put it in a dropper bottle and take it in the morning. That's what I've been doing and it's helped me fix the 70%, but too many people with ADHD are cowards who want their kiddy skittles from the doctor. Meth is bioequivalent at low dosages, more effective than all ADHD meds, and safe if you can control yourself.

>>16869209
>Meth is bioequivalent at low dosages
No it isn't retard, it's more neurotoxic than amphetamine at low doses
>>
>>16869256
I'll concede that there may be some minor additional neurotoxicity at therapeutic doses < 20mg, but the research I've read points towards this being marginal.
I'd point to:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22289608/ - which concluded that "METH and AMPH are equipotent at producing lethal hyperthermia and neurotoxicity in laboratory animals during the wake cycle"
And:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24333768/ - Which concluded that meth may have neuroprotective effects at FDA approved dosages.

Ignore the nonsense above about amphetamines and whatever.
There’s only one path left for you now: get TMS treatment. People misunderstand it as electroshock therapy, but it’s not. It’s basically magnetic pulses fired into your head.
If that doesn’t work, then kill yourself. There’s no other option. A lot of people actually improve with this.

Some of it is psychological, sure, but if there’s a physiological problem, then no matter how noble you are or how strong your will is, you’ll eventually break.
It’s like telling yourself, ‘I can ignore gravity,’ over and over again — the moment you step off a building into empty air, you fall and get smashed to pieces.

Anyway, if this doesn’t lead to improvement, then your soul has already rotted. Your only choice is suicide and reincarnation.
Or you could become a spirit medium — sometimes that works as treatment. But in that case, you’ll have to live with a supernatural entity for the rest of your life.
Forget about dating, marriage, or children. Everything will end in ruin.

Good luck

Don't wear your wealth on your sleeve then.
Get yourself a basic house, a nice-but-not-extravagant car, some cool hobbies, diversify your wardrobe, enhance your hygiene.

From there just invest all the money in a low risk investment fund and live off dividends while you meet people through your hobbies.

Don't stop working, either. The NEET life makes you suck to be around regardless of how much income you have at your disposal.
If you can turn one of your hobbies into a revenue stream, no matter how low the returns, even better.

Start at 0 on the number line and move 3/10 to the right, then 3/100 to the right, then 3/1000 to the right, and so on. Some numbers will eventually be to your left if you take enough steps. Some numbers will never be to your left no matter how many steps you take. 0.333... is by definition the number at the boundary, and that number is 1/3.
>>
>>16869695
For those who want to know more:
Consider the set of numbers {0.3, 0.33, 0.333, ...} that you can move to with enough steps.
>Some numbers will never be to your left no matter how many steps you take.
We call one of these numbers an upper bound on the set.
>Some numbers will eventually be to your left if you take enough steps.
These numbers fail to be upper bounds on the set.

With some thought, you can see that the boundary between the upper bounds and the numbers which are not upper bounds must belong to the upper bounds. So this number is called the least upper bound, or supremum for short. We define 0.333... as the supremum of {0.3, 0.33, 0.333, ...}.

>I just got destroyed by another anatomy practical.
How are your anatomy practicals set up? Mine was identifying muscles, nerves, etc. There were also second-order questions where we had to know the action of the muscle, what muscle the nerve innervated and so on.

Anatomy was my weakest subject and I'm so glad that I'm no longer taking it.
>>
>>16869244
It's set up exactly how you just describe it.
Just how is it possible to learn the upper limb's every muscle's spatial origin, its insertion, its origin, its innervation, its action, and its blood supply in less than a month? It's insane. And then all the other classes on top of that. I don't know why they couldn't have just taught us this in undergrad or highschool, there is nothing complex about it it's just rote memorization. Also what drives me insane is getting stuff I know wrong. Like I know that the suprascapular artery goes above the transverse superior scapular ligament, and that the suprascapular nerve goes underneath it. But on the practical, I got that wrong because I just couldn't tell what was on top and what was underneath from looking at the cadaver. I will never have to do such a thing in clinical practice. Idk how to get better with anatomy.

cool beans dude

Ok /scitards/ I got an idea but I'm borderline retarded so can someone actually tell me if it'll work. Basically after seeing the 100th tiktok of a student crying after being falsely accused of using AI for an assignment I came up with this idea

>letters in bodies of text likely follow certain distribution or frequency based on how common they are
>create software that generative AI must use when generating any piece of text
>software works by generating a certain skew in the distribution/frequency of letters in the text it generates
>this unique skew will be attached to a key
>license out software to colleges that will scan assessments submitted and match distribution of every submission to any keys that were generated using AI

The only way this will work though is with government support that enforces AI companies to use such software to offer their services in the country.

Scott Aaronson worked for OpenAI for a couple of years implementing such an AI statistical steganographic watermark, but if I recall correctly, they haven't implemented it yet.

And even if they implement it, there are alternatives that (maybe) are not watermarked.

>100th tiktok of a student crying after being falsely accused of using AI
never had a student cry about being falsely accused. instead, here's what i've noticed
>i only call out cases i'm extremely confident on
>the whiners use ai to whine
on the rare offchance i falsely accuse a student, we've had calm interactions where they challenge the accusation (rightfully so) and prove the work is their own. meanwhile, the students who passively cry are the ones who cannot prove innocence and seek empathy instead of justice. because they know they're dead to rights.
>>
>>16867983

You likely would not need a watermark, there is certainly some intrinsic fingerprint from the model itself in there. Only question is what word count you would need to reliably identify it.

Mensa has plenty of pants wetting, bleeding heart liberals and maga chuds. There's no dominate political identity, though many try to pin specific political views on the organization, using cherry picked examples from the membership. Pic related is from the "Firehouse" SIG, a group that's considered to be far right extremists by the more left leaning members of Mensa. Most people stick to the games, which have decorum rules against bringing in politics.

Depends on what you want out of it. Sometimes they email you coupons (mostly for their shop), and there's insurance plans if you're in burgerland. In practice, it's mostly played the role of a gatekept niche forum before online spaces were a thing, and I haven't seen much use for it unless you want an extra possible social option. It's whatever. You could make a free version right now if you're patient and the idea of community management doesn't revolt you, though you'd need some kind of reliable entry metric for prospectives.

Their work explains the shift from stagnant economies to sustained growth, linking technological progress with new ways of understanding and building knowledge, a process rooted in concepts by Joseph Schumpeter.


This discipline sounds like a self evident sociology sprinkled with a little bit of math and statistics. This is the best social science can offer? Economic s as a discipline should be abolished and central banks should just hire unemployed math and physics doctorates and let them run the economy.
