Yeah that's an unacceptably low ROC curve for a medical usecase

Didn't know about that one, thanks!

The site Semantic Scholar and Perplexity AI do a good job of using ML to help with that but the problem with scientific publishing is fundamental to it's business model which needs to be uprooted to make modern science feasible

The first line in one of my campaigns from a player:

"It seems you have been given the test of race, and you have failed"

You've clearly never lived in Montréal. We have had a massive decrease in private lots over the years, massive expansion of bike lanes, expansion of car share programs, and newly built train lines. Every year we are less and less dependent on cars and the city has only gotten better from things like this.

You haven't been through border security?

Yeah I feel that, I also think there are some books where the friction is there enough that audiobooks are perfectly fine as a substitute. I think for textbooks maybe it's more than I need a direct and tangible reason to use the knowledge but then it won't feel I'm reading to learn but reading to do something else. It ain't easy 😂

I know it can be really difficult to listen to the advice to "turn off all distractions" when I need to interact with technology in order to do most things besides my martial arts and spending time with my partner. I also rarely keep to a habit or just reducing something, I need to replace it with something that pushes me to do something else which isn't easy.

You are literally talking in a group about a neurodivegence, a type of mental health issue which makes us function differently than others. This means there are behaviors we can't easily change due to how our neurological functioning.

Do you truely believe you are in 100% in control of every little action you do? That no underlying cognitive barriers exist to make you do things or not? Are you some type of robot or a human being?

Also, do you even have ADHD? If you do, you must either be some evolved specimen above us mere mortals or you lack the empathy and self awareness to understand that people can sometimes struggle to change themselves.

I can both have struggles to change my behavior and not hate myself at the same time, it's called accepting myself for who I am.

You are literally telling a psychologist that you know better about how this works. Also I'm not unhappy with myself, I love myself. I also know there are things I can do to improve and am seeking advice from my community to do so. Your advice basically boils down to "just stop lol" which would not be helpful at all to anyone for anything.

I also specifically asked for resources, not your opinions, so do keep them to yourself in the future.

That actually did help me a lot, I think the feeling of finishing a page even though you technically didn't helps keep up the satisfaction as you don't feel like there is this monumental amount of reading left to do. I know with books sometimes I'll be reading, stop, look at the amount I have left, and it discourages me to continue.

That's definitely too basic. I work on a screen all day and use my phone for communication as much as anything. I could block apps but that hasn't changed my behaviors. Also we have a neurodivegence which inherently can't distinguish the importance of stimuli so I just replace one distraction with another.
