I think you underestimate the extremes we could go to with the directive to keep adding money until it works.

I might use the idea of horseback riding as an analogy. The neurotypical reflection of a human mind is a well-trained horse with a proficient rider. The rider is the concious viewpoint of the mind tied up with concious will. The horse is the rest of the mind (including the parts that control the body).

Someone with ADHD is riding a poorly-trained horse. It doesn’t mean that the horse doesn’t sometimes respond correctly to the commands of the rider, but it is far more likely to listen when the commands align with whatever the horse would prefer to be doing, and sometimes the horse won’t listen at all even if the rider is trying desperately to get it to stop eating grass and get back on the path.

The analogy here drives home the idea that there is a disconnect between what the concious mind “wants” to do and what the rest of the mind is doing.

The analogy doesn’t stretch very far, but by highlighting one of the major flaws of the analogy you can likewise highlight the painful irony of ADHD: to an outside observer there is no way to see that the rider is trying anything at all. This whole analogy is taking place inside one person’s skull, and the entire concept of struggling to steer your own mind doesn’t make much sense when you have a horse and rider that work so smoothly together that they feel unified.

In all seriousness, this is a fine scenario for AI guided learning. I gave Bing Copilot your question, and the response was very helpful.

Here’s the trick though:

// In 'firereact/firestore/index.ts'
export { useDocument } from './useDocument';

and:

// In 'tsconfig.json'
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
  },
  "exclude": ["**/*.test.ts", "**/*.spec.ts", "path/to/firebase.ts"]
}

Cats survived before us by hunting small mammals and small birds, and they are very effective at getting fed.

The motivation at the core of naming owners of outdoor cats as irresponsible is a sharp decline in songbird populations in direct proportion to the increase in outdoor cat population.

Black-body radiation is an interesting argument against 100% efficiency, but couldn’t you just extrapolate and argue that the emission will be converted back to heat once it stops reflecting and becomes absorbed?

They want to use your gyroscope to synchronize your movement within the store with their mapping of what products are on which shelves.

Historically this has been done by offering free in-store Wi-Fi and then triangulating the movement of cell phones within the store based on their signal strength from the perspective of the various Wi-Fi access point supporting the store’s network, but a gyroscope will even tell them if you crouch down or turn around.

Nah, fuck em. Even the less sophisticated Wi-Fi approach is skeevy as fuck. I should just trust that the will only do what they say when given more than they need? Absolutely not. They might, but I wouldn’t rely on it.
