Amphetamines can hardly be described as having a doping zombie effect.

ADHD is caused by a dopamine deficiency.

Kids on amphetamines, with ADHD, are able to sit still & concentrate more easily without having to seek stimuli externally.
Kids on amphetamines, without ADHD, will become over stimulated & turn the house upside down.

Stop this misinformed rhetoric, it's harmful!

(See my earlier comment.)

If you give amphetamines to a hyperactive child that doesn't have ADHD, then you'll just make them more hyper.

It's not a doping medication that makes people zone out, it's fucking amphetamines.

People afflicted with ADHD have an impaired uptake of dopamine in the brain, specifically the frontal cortex which controls executive skills (ie. focus & organisation). This leads the brain to crave the dopamine it needs to function, which externally presents itself as stimuli seeking behaviour and increased physical activity, hyperactivity.

Now give amphetamines to someone with this condition, and they'll find it easier to maintain focus without having to find external stimuli.
Give amphetamines/speed to someone who has a healthy dopamine uptake, and it'll likely shoot their energy levels through the roof & make them restless.

===================

Now, I apologise in advance for the rant that's about to follow, but this topic touches a very personal nerve.

I'm tired to FUCK of armchair psychiatrists spreading their poorly informed bullshit about what they think ADHD is. This rhetoric stops people taking the condition seriously & makes parents distrust medical professionals. You are harming people!

I was diagnosed & put on Ritalin at an early age, but due to know-it-alls filling my family's head with this shit for years, we decided to ignore the professional medical practitioners' advice & cut the medication in my early teens. In hindsight, I can now see how damaging that was.
I've always been a well-studied & driven person, but my time management & related executive skills are a big Achilles heel. I didn't manage to complete university & whilst very technically able, my unreliability in managing long term projects really kneecapped me professionally. It nearly cost me a marriage.

I've now been back on meds for the best part of a decade, & it's been life changing. My life is organised (relatively), I've founded 2 successful tech businesses, I finally got myself through uni, I salvaged my marriage, & now I have an amazing son.

Now, I forgive you, misinformed internet armchair people. But please, for the love of all, stop mischaracterising what you don't understand & undermining trained medical professionals. You are harming people!

None of that proves whether or not Niemann somehow cheated in his first game with Carlson. Just because Niemann beat him once, doesn't mean he'd be able to do so again.

It was reported that the game in question wasn't especially exceptional and that Carlson himself didn't play his best. And that game was played OTB (in person).

What's added smoke to the fire are revelations about Niemann's past, and the anomaly that he plays markedly better in games that a streamed live. But non of that in itself can be used to prove that he has cheated in previous games, just that extra measures should be considered for future games.

You're assuming that the employee doesn't use that time for something else. One scheme that emerged from the Work-From-Home wave during the pandemic was people taking up more than one job at the same time - a very easy & immediate way of doubling your salary.

For just doing what they were paid? Remember, "quiet quitting" isn't about getting away with not doing your job, just not going over & above what you're being paid to do.
It's a two-way street. A company needs to give a reason for its employees to be ambitious. If it doesn't reward hard work & ambition, then it shouldn't expect it in return.

It's not just physics, it's understanding how the world moves and how those phsyics apply to it visually. And I suspect it's far easier/cheaper to amass and analise large datasets of static images than large datasets videos.

As far as these particular models are concerned, the world is static.

As does the Universe.

Beware the trolls. Check the ID, that ain't the real rsilvergun.

China is as much socialist as North Korea is a democratic republic.

It was removed? I've got the latest versions of both FF Std & FF Dev open here, and both display the current protocol...

I find Firefox far more efficient than Chrome. Chrome starts grinding to a halt after 10 or so tabs. I'm a bit of a klepto with tabs, and with the 600 odd I currently have open, Firefox is using just shy of 2GB RAM. That's Chrome's baseline before I've even opened anything.

Integrated VPN? Isn't that an Opera thing?

They aren't claiming the organisms are being killed in the intake, it's the localised concentration of salt on the coastline. No one is saying that desalination plants make an impact on the salinity of the ocean as a whole, that would be absurd, but it will have a local impact in the coastal areas where the salt is released.

It's also particularly pertinent that, "most marine life is found in coastal habitats, even though the shelf area occupies only seven percent of the total ocean area". [citation]

As much as I love Slackware, it's what I first learnt my trade on, I wouldn't really espouse it from a security perspective. Dealing with dependency hell & compiling everything by hand isn't really conducive to keeping everything up-to-date whilst also getting your day-to-day work done.

apt upgrade/yum update & let me get back to work!

And no one has ever claimed the science was anywhere near "done". In fact climatologists go at great length to emphasize the complexities. Given the shear number of variables, it's one of, if not the, most complex areas that humanity is trying to decode.

But we don't need to know 100% of the variables to make working models. We don't have a complete understanding of fluid dynamics, but we know that putting a flame under water will make it boil. We don't have a complete understanding of aerodynamics, but we have planes. We don't have a complete understanding of gravity, but we still manage to chase down asteroids & land on them.

We make tweaks & corrections to models & theories all the time. That doesn't mean the previous version was completely wrong, just that it could be improved.

Society needs to learn to celebrate the identifying of errors & miscalculations as much as the identifying of new discoveries. It's science at work!

The Swiss Shooting Sport Federation is the main sport shooting association in Switzerland, and has roughly 133,000 members.

Switzerland has a population of roughly 8,570,148.

That makes about 1.5% of the population members of the SSSF, whilst approximately 28% of all households in Switzerland own guns.
And it's also worthy of note, as I mentioned earlier, ammunition is strictly controlled & can only be bought in (& may not leave) shooting ranges, or for licenced hunting activities. So that doesn't leave much room for "undocumented" gun use.

So yes, as per my original post, a comparatively small number of gun owning households are actively involved in gun related activities, and the "culture" is distinctly different to that of the US.

Also, whilst gun ownership is common in Switzerland, the possession of ammo is strictly regulated and generally not kept at home.

Switzerland also doesn't have the gun-nut culture of the US - the only reason most houses even have a gun is because of conscription. The guns spend most of their lives gathering dust & rust in the basement.

Noted, thanks for clearing that up. From that perspective, that really does sound like a very good way of going about grading. What matters is everyone being judged equally at the finish line, regardless of where they started from.
