I don’t have ADHD but I did the test. My answers would vary with amount of sleep:
4 hours/night - Poor executive function, can’t figure out what order to do things in, lose keys and random things, forget to lock doors and not even realize it
6 hours - Mild executive dysfunction, never sure if I locked the door but I did
I agree. It doesn’t matter if you give an inexperienced person a hammer or a saw — they’ll still screw it up.
My biggest pet peeve is they NO ONE ever does failure modeling.
I swear everyone builds things assuming it will work perfectly. Then when you mention if one part fails, it will completely bring down everything, they’ll say that it’s a 1 in a million chance. Yeah, the problem isn’t that it’s unlikely, it’s that when it does happen, you’ve perfectly designed your system to destroy itself.
It's actually quite routine stuff now in finance at least - to perform some kind of 'fire test' on a regular basis - you shut down some components during the day, and switch to backups solutions, to test everything works smoothly.
You know, planning isn't something that is necessarily required or necessarily not required. You plan as much as a situation demands.
Presumably in a smaller society with abundant water, you can wing your pipes because it doesn't really matter. A larger society in a desert? Well, that's way different. Inefficiencies add up too much.
The real trouble is people who just believe in strong rules when really, you should be looking at your specific situation and using your brain.
Not the OP, I think the main difference between then an now is that the internet in the old days wasn’t designed to be addictive, todays social networks and other apps are. For me it’s not about the severity of the the content but the addictiveness.
I remember two of my classmates being addicted to World of Warcraft. They both got problems, one dropped out, one managed to turn around. Today every smartphone game and the social networks are at least as addictive as WoW. Some people will manage it but some won’t.
I don’t know if OPs way to handle it would be the way I handled it but A I don’t have a better idea an B I don’t have kids (yet).
IBM doesn’t market services… they market solutions. You contract with them and they figure out how they build something for you. And it may include Watson.
Yeah, though it's not really what people think of from the Bob Dylan ads. Watson started as a specific piece of technology (an attempt to turn the Jeopardy-winning system into a general AI engine) and later morphed into just a catch-all brand for everything IBM offers in AI and ML.
Someone experienced will know how much work a certain approach will take and its capacity.
Sometimes there are quick wins to give like 100x capacity to a system just by doing things slightly differently, but only with experience will you know that.
With Jobs gone, it still has a taste but it someone else’s taste.
That said, I think some people have developed their own original taste but some people’s tastes are just an amalgamation of the people around them.
