The moment we learned i needed silver to conjure holy water we started melting down every piece of cutlery and chandeliers.

Why not both?

“IT enthusiasts of Lemmy, how would you tackle x or y problem?”

Could lead to some interesting answers but i agree that follow up questions and expectations to actually get the problem fixed should be somewhere else.

You should probably add a link. I already know this happend but it still reads like a joke.

Truly the weirdest timeline.

Communities is way to long and generics

I think instances act much more like a community and a community is a sub-community… but then we just en at sub again.

My suggestion is for her to look deeper then that.

I ll provide some examples. Of course take in mind i am an adult dad myself so my sense of responsibility and experience with autism is not the same as an 8yo child. Many of the examples have gotten me to “meltdown” though. And of course these examples are personale to me and may not apply to your daughter.

Chores: i am holding something i need to trow in the trash but the trashcan is full.

a robust structure to make sure the trashcans are emptied on a schedule goes a long way in avoiding this

I am sweeping but there are items on the floor.

first check the floor and remove any obstacles may sound so normal it feels silly now but i was already an adult when i learned this and it felt like a magic.

I find myself in need of tool x to do my choir but i cant find it.

collect all required tools and items before proceeding

I neglected to clean the house for to long, the clutter creates massive visual overstimulation. I cant find my cleaning tools between the clutter. I cant remove obstacles from the floor because there is no space left to put them. My mind tells me to just kick and trow everything I perceive as being in my way and just writing this passage in text gives me ptsd flashbacks.

STOP do something else in a sensory calm area. Then ask someone for help to create a centralized empty spot, use this spot like a food plate. Only put on the plate what you can handle. Take more if the plate is empty.

Discipline is more on you then her. Make sure to prioritize the goal, which is to learn from mistakes. Don’t fall into the hole of using the same discipline that works for others. Some people respond well to punishments. I did not, they just made me resent authority. Often i did not understand what i should have done instead or i made an honest mistake. I fared much better with a clear understanding of what exactly happend.

Which brings me to social misunderstandings. I have fought my wife over terminology. I draw a hardline between accidentally causing an accident. And being at fault for something. Simply hearing that someone is at fault when it was a non intentional mistake deeply infuriates me to this day. However mature discussing this with my wife revealed my stance really isn’t all that different from the rest of society. I still believe feeling of guilt and trying to fix damage is in order if ypu make a mistske. Its specifically the words “at fault” or “x hurt y” which my mind perceives as “with intend” I cant really know with her brother but it could be their fights are about similar misunderstanding of some words. It does strike me as an area of opportunity to learn if talking to one person causes a meltdown and another does not.

Some final general advice. Being too overstimulated is almost always a good reason to stop doing something. Pushing yourself to far this way can create dangerous situation and routinely being overstimulated will create a habit of avoidance. Always have a backup space that is low sensory to retreat to. Its much easier to proceed when your head is calm and clear and often the fresh energy will more then make up for lost time.

Good luck, both for your daughter aswell as you her parent. It will often not be easy for either of you. But over time, the gained experience and mutual understanding not only will make things easier but will create opportunities to cultivate her mind to achieve things no neurotypical ever could.

My advise is to try to really understand the details in what causes the trigger. Not just on how it appears on a neurotypical surface level.

Think of it as trying to understand game mechanics.

In the case of social misunderstanding, is it:

• certain topics
• a specific word
• the tone
• the feeling of being misunderstood
• the sensation of certain emotions
• lingering emotions/feelings that where already present.

Also play close attention to different behavior when facing similar triggers, they can tell a lot about the root issue.

• Does it happen more frequently after school, in weekends, in public.
• What other sensory stimulation are around (tv, tl lights, itching clothing.)

Are there situations where the trigger is present but she does manage. Ask yourself questions why can she/i manage now but not other times.

Once you truly really understand what makes you tik (this can take years as things can have many layers) it becomes much easier to navigate and rationalize your life.

The text is in a different spot. We can recreate it.

Time to implement a new checkbox “remember the state of the remember me checkbox”

Jokes aside this probably requires injecting some code or script into the webpage. Maybe theres a browser extension that can do this.

It doesnt need to be the radio. The first think i thought when i read old people was bluetooth hearing aid. The fact that the call drops every time is super suspicious. Remove all bluetooth devices on your phone and make a few calls with no bluetooth enabled at all. Mention things you know they would definitely bring up to rule it out.

Use this webui (its the stabld diffusion ui for llm)

https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui

I am pretty sure it has a sever option.

Here is a list of the models it likely supports, including gpt4all. https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard

Best one i tried is wizard vicuna 13B running on a rtx2070

Ever time i see a post like this i ask the same thing and i have yet to receive answer.

Why should i care?

There are so many open source language models, all with different strengths and weaknesses. There are tools to run them on any OS with all kinds of different hardware requirements.

This has been the case since before chatgpt came out and has exponentially blown up since.

Gpt4all is just a single recent model. But in recent weeks it always gets the headlight under “run chatgpt at home”

What does it do to stand out? Why would i use this and not one of the vicuna or llama models?

Hugging face has a leaderboard for open source large language models.

If you are interested in running this tech at home, familiarize yourself with multiple models because they all will behave differently depending on your hardware and your needs.

How much would speed matter to a simulated lifeform. Ive often wondered if time would suddenly stop and then continue we would probably just experience it like it didn’t stop.

Thanks for typing out what i was gonna say.

I am agnostic about simulation theory. If an advanced enough “something” can create a simulation undistinguishable from the lives we experience now then i would bet that we do live in one. But thats a big if and goes a bit further than one where life cant tell. (A simulated single cell organism is miles of from simulated mammals and society)

New response just dropped

The way this supposedly works is that wifi waves can be used to detect bodies to such fidelity it can recreate a 3d model of the room and people. Thats your visualization.

But i came here for a more in depth explanation, take mine with a dose of salt.

The power of moneeey.

I would like to self host a lemmy instance.

I know enough to have setup an ubuntu server with docker containers and servers on my local network, but except a minecraft server never exposed any kind of server to the web.

Is it basicly a docker alternative?

Your argument for an immoral mismanaging of funds by the world politics is it generates clicks?

The media is ti blame to frame it as a funny thing rather then a display of classcism showing that if you are rich enough armyswill try to rescue you no matter what you did.

We can laugh about it but we are just the internet and humor is a way to cope.

What if they stored the literal files under the installation folder but then linked them under other folders classed as either Saves/configs/creations.

In theory we just need to standardize those few classifications and people could decide where that type of files can be found, always under a folder of the name of the program.

I feel with modern computing it doesn’t really make sense to only find certain files in a single location. The structure you use to create and save digital art may be wholy different from the one you use to browse/show/upload your art. I like to have all my game installations easily accessible for modding but i hate if i had to to use it to launch a game trough the exe. In a way other software may already cater to this need but its often bloated and far from standardized.

While were at it allow people to set a display name for program what they like during installations and if i want to install sm multiple times, why not allow it. the os just remembers what there actually called if other software looks for it, in case of multiple it could ask which one to use.

Of course i can dream what i want, creating new standards is probably one of the hardest thing to agree on and get done.
