This is a tool to COMMUNICATE impact of pain. It's not just expressive, the goal is not just to assign a number, it is to communicate the impact of pain or discomfort to a clinician or caregiver so they can know it needs treatment, and to understand if treatment is working.

Accuracy helps that, but remember the point is not to have the NUMBER, but to COMMUNICATE.

I made a python script that fetches the ISS coordinates (every 60 seconds for now) and if the coordinates match +- 5 degrees with my coordinates, then it prints "ISS is above."

The print part didn't function due to a bug I'm trying to solve. Everything else ran as expected. I went to the window and there it was. The ISS passing above in the sky.

No it didn't. No you didn't. Probably none of that happened.

And somehow, being unwilling to admit the thing is just making stuff up is annoying and unnecessary, not the damn model.

Well here's something that doesn't surprise me in the least.

People with similar levels of autistic traits show greater social attraction to one another, and their brains synchronize in unique ways during active conversation. A recent experiment published in Biological Psychiatry suggests that social difficulties related to autism might be a problem of mismatched communication styles rather than an inherent social deficit.

This matches with our own life experience very well. It is much easier for us to be social with other autistics than to do so with neurotypical people.

I opened a package while walking through the park and signed because I'd accidentally bought a dozen whistles instead of just one. A kid asked why I sighed and I explained. She then asked for the other eleven. I wonder what a five y/o did with eleven really loud whistles.

BTW if you have excitedly updated the #PyConUS iPhone app for 2026 and been greeted with a crash to a black screen, much like each year requires a new login on their website, apparently each year's state is incompatible with the previous. Delete the app, reinstall it from the app store, and it should work fine.

Periodic reminder that “rate your pain on a scale from 1 to 10" is bullshit without reference points. People with chronic pain, tough guys, people with intense periods, and people who struggle with interoception all struggle when the endpoints are nebulous.

Let me introduce you to the DVPRS: https://www.va.gov/WHOLEHEALTHLIBRARY/docs/Defense-and-Veterans-Pain-Rating-Scale.pdf

It even works if you substitute pain for general impact. If you're asked to rate a symptom on a scale from 1 to 10, this works too.

0 = No pain
1 = Hardly notice pain
2 = Notice pain, does not interfere with activities
3 = Sometimes distracts me
4 = Distracts me, can do usual activities
5 = Interrupts some activities
6 = Hardto ignore, avoid usual activities
7 = Focus of attention, prevents doing daily activities
8 = Awful, hard to do anything
9 = Can’t bear the pain, unable to do anything
10 = As bad as it could be, nothing else matters

10 is still pretty subjective there, but "nothing else matters" is clear enough, and really 9 or 10 isn't really a big difference in how much it matters clinically. (It tells the clinician if an intervention helps though)

LOL.

But also yes, this.

It's WILD to see LLMs driving us back toward some honestly better practices.

It's like the cognitive and process overheads of our fat stacks are measurable when you count tokens.
