Oh wow someone is selling this clearly excellent guide to growing potatoes.

POTAATO

(wave it over the soil and coax the roots into existence. Then you have a plant. This plant will grow illogically. At some point it will send you an email. )

A step by step diagram on planting seed potatoes, but the steps are 1, 2, 22, 3, 3, 7, 6, 3, 6, 5, ?? It seems like you plant then un plant it then it sends you email?

I couldn’t find 1 mention to a community, or a project. So much text in the web or the PDFs for what? I’d have loved to see anything, like a device to measure contamination in water. Anyway, I guess that’s how it is with blind science powered by savior complex. Sorry to be flaming this post, it angries me. Can anyone mention one such example of enriching or addressed needs for a community?

Can we start a radical optimism thread? Because I need a optimism thread. And I think you need a thread.

News. Quotes. Music. Thoughts. Whatever.

I'll start:

"You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time." --Angela Davis

If this gets any traction, please boost, especially the replies. You and I are not the only ones that need this right now.

““This kind of AI that can reproduce content similar to what it ingested poses an existential threat to the writing profession and to the publishing industry—if it’s unchecked,” says Mary Rasenberger, CEO of the Authors Guild. “A lot of people who aren’t in the industry don’t realize how precarious the profession is and how uneven the business is.”

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

The printing cost of my book is $10.78.

The minimum list price allowed is $17.97, on which I earn nothing.

takes $7.19 for itself.

1/2

SimonRoyHughes OP ,
@SimonRoyHughes@thefolklore.cafe avatar

If I bump up the price to an arbitrary $25.00, the printing cost remains at $10.78.

I would earn $4.22, which they claim is 60% of the royalty.

The remaining 40% works out to be $2.81.

pockets the aforementioned $7.19, then takes a 40% cut of the claimed royalty.

takes $10.00 on a book that makes the author $4.22.

"As a woman with , Kate will talk about the gender discrepancy in autism diagnoses. Women and girls often display completely different behaviors than what people have been taught to associate with autism, which affects when and how (and if) they are diagnosed. Autism being diagnosed at a younger age leads to a higher chance of that child receiving evidence-based treatment, which can help with better life outcomes. This discrepancy is why Kate wants to encourage more research be done on symptoms of autism in women and girls so that they can be more easily and accurately diagnosed in the future." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbes1mm2VgM&ab_channel=TEDxTalks

A lot of different neurodivergent people experience emotion on different timescales than NTs.

Some folks can experience big, fast emotional responses. Some folks can experience delayed emotional response or prolonged emotional processing.

And, to make things more confusing: these groups aren't mutually exclusive
