That comment is pure gold and I am archiving it for future use.

Wrong community for AI slop.

I looked into that and the only question I really have is how geographically distributed the samples were. Other than that, It was an oversampled study, so <50% of the people were the control, of sorts. I don’t fully understand how the sampling worked, but there is a substantial chart at the bottom of the study that shows the full distribution of responses. Even with under 1000 people, it seems legit.

In this study, we conducted a survey (n = 742) including a representative U.S. sample and an oversample of gender minorities, racial minorities, and disabled individuals to examine how demographic factors shape AI attitudes.

I have a Zoom L12 for mixing/recording my synthesizers, PC system sound and additional PC audio interface. I got it used for $500.

You can get super cheap mixers as well, but the quality will probably be hit-or-miss. (Proper grounding and interference being the biggest issues.) I got lucky with a $40 4 channel mixer that I use when running too many synths and just need to route sound somehow.

I have been using 6ghz for about a year or so now and I found it to be quite fast. MLO can be super weird sometimes and seems to get confused, but it works. (It’s probably just a driver I haven’t updated.)

There seems to hundreds of studies on that and there seems to be a fairly uniform “Yes” and “More than you would guess”, etc.

Here is one: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/ADR-220062

To elaborate, is there a specific cause of the disability (autism would be an example) and does it affect specific aspects of your life (reading or writing or both, etc…)?

Asking about the “type” is more contextual. Admittedly, it may not appear to make sense at first glance. (Example: https://neurolaunch.com/intellectual-disability-types/ ; Other sites may use “type” but give different examples or conditions.)

Edit: FWIW, my ADHD (and I also suspect autism) is the cause of my own intellectual disabilities. I am not considered “stupid” by any means, but I do have a wide range of quirks: Focus, task completion, organization, planning, hyperactivity, memory issues and past substance abuse being among them.

Are you willing to share what kind of intellectual disability it is?

Lick me.

I grew up in a tiny rural mountain town in North Carolina. There was maybe two black families in that entire county at the time and one that went to my highschool. One could say that I was sheltered from the rest of the world entirely.

Back then we didn’t go out of our way to be racist, we just were. It’s how we grew up and it’s what people knew. To us our attitude wasn’t racist, it was normal.

Fast forward the clock to when I was about 17, me and my mother moved to Greensboro, NC where I would speculate that white people are still a minority. I got a job at a nearby McDonald’s, (Holden/Highpoint Rd, if you were curious…) where me and another girl were the only white people who worked there.

Now, by that time, I had already started to realize that my thought patterns and assumptions were just blatantly incorrect. One night, I was working night shift with the white girl and during a smoke break, I explained my confusion, explained where I grew up and asked for advice on what I should do and how I should approach other people. We talked for a while over a few cigarettes, but the core of the story was that people are just people, no matter how they look.

I am not embarrassed about my past and I am proud of mind-shift and personal growth I was willing to take at the time, especially being only 17. People can develop and change, especially if they are poisoned by ignorance and are willing to see another perspective.

Today, people can still have wildly bizarre opinions and sometimes, they are unaware that those opinions can cause behaviors that are hateful and even dangerous in some cases. In some cases, all it takes is a slight push to tumble down a nasty tower of stereotypes and logical fallacies.

So, I acknowledge that my past behavior was wrong, I took the appropriate steps to correct my behavior and I am a better person because of it. If needed, I would have been willing to make true and honest amends whenever possible.

Wallowing in any sin of my past doesn’t do anyone any good.

It’s worse. We are reverting back to the age of lügenpresse and hearsay comes in short-form video formats.

Many people simply do not care (or are even aware) if a source is trusted if the message aligns with their own bias or the message is presented as a new “fact”. Trust is irrelevant, unfortunately.

“real” is subjective.

And that is scary. If the is one takeaway from observing the universe it’s that there are always bigger and stranger things out there somewhere.

Something tells me this isn’t a bad thing. If there is an edge of the universe, it’s probably going to be a very strange place.

See, that is what I thought at first until I thought about the proportions. Having one arm shorter than the other is possible…)

(FYI, my comments are ~50% /s)

That’s the right arm, not the umbilical cord, my dude.

It’s a neat comparison of Nvidia GPUs over the years.
