Wait, if my brain runs and uses Linux then…

Oh god…

ADHD is a zombie LLM process constantly spitting out vaguely related nonsense, draining your energy and processor cycles for nothing productive.

It all makes sense now.

Nah, it's nothing that complicated, it's just a bash script

while [ 0 -eq 0 ]
do
        wall | head -c 16 /dev/random
        sleep 1
done

yep that works a lot better. Mine did spit out a wall message, but only after the script hangs and has to be ctrl-D'ed. I figured I had tested enough for the internet joke and I shipped it to prod.

What always triggers feelings of cosmic horror is the question: "Whom is this reported to?"

Meditation is essentially a software patch that reduces the brain's tendency to DDoS itself.

This is my reflection on my own experience with meditation, I have no other expertise on the subject.

It's not not that. It doesn't completely prevent processes from starting up randomly, but it does make it easier and faster to shut them down gracefully. It's also helpful for understanding and adjusting system calls that keep restarting processes I no longer need running all the time.
