What I know is that I was diagnosed with bipolar / depression after being suicidal and was offered nothing but medication from Western Psychiatry.

My entire life up until that point had been based around avoiding emotions. From chasing fame, money, success,drugs, sex, criticizing, creating drama, etc.

At the time I was consulting for a Peter Thiel backed startup focusing on finding alternative cures for western diagnosis.

I took what the doctors there were showing me and began to look at alternative perspectives.

What I found was shocking. That antidepressants didn't really work and outcomes for most people were pretty terrible in general.

The view of depression that is it is unfelt anger allowed me to begin to make more space to feel anger vs. stuffing it down or projecting it onto others. There has been a little research into this that doesn't contradict it.

I followed the experience of anger back inside and it opened up an entirely new part of my mind. I was able to see past events in my life where I was hurt and scared and shut down. And how I learned to supress my emotions.

Through a combination of psychedelics, breathwork and NARM therapy, I learned how to stay with my emotions and how to make space to heal older traumas when I was feeling triggered or overwhelmed.

I was able to be with even more extreme states like paranoia or psychosis and every time I'd go to the heart of the emotional experience, in the moment I'd find some unprocessed event from my life that needed attention.

So, yeah. That way of thinking was very useful for me and was supported by a variety of resources that helped me along the way. Including some psychiatrists, doctors, and therapists.

I take no medication and now have access to a very deep, soft, warm and loving center in myself that I had never experienced before.

If something happens (like my grandmother dying last month), and I noticed I'm feeling depresssed, I use those same tools and get closer to the hurt or pain vs my old default of numbing, avoidance, depression or mania.

I'm an N of 1, of course but I've been able to help other people do the same and this approach feels healthier and more useful than purely symptom management.

We are all unique, and I certainly have access to some exotic states of consciousness, but as I said I feel connected, loving, content, solid and welcoming of all emotions including love and happiness.

>Risk becomes a vehicle by which privilege reinforces itself – only the privileged can take risks and only risk is rewarded.

That is a pretty absurd leap to take. By its very own definition, there is no guaranteed pay-off yielded by risk-taking. And by risk-taking, I mean an individual going off the beaten, risk-minimal, path. In this economy, it is starting a company or joining an early one. So yes, of course, that "risk" is rewarded. But only some of the time for some of the people and that alone makes it insufficient to back the thesis that "Risk becomes a vehicle by which privilege reinforces itself".

If richer folks are able to go off that beaten path more easily or often, that is only because there "risk-taking" is less risky (amortized) for them than for anyone else. But again, that makes the reward neither guaranteed, systematic or easier to obtain.
I've got the karma to burn that I don't really care about the points. But aside from the "downvote is not a disagree button," twice in a row I clicked submit on a comment and by the time the page loaded I was at 0. I mean it was so quick that I wondered if 0 was the new default!

I noticed a few other people with perfectly reasonable comments that were grey, too. It seemed unusual. I've been around long enough to have a sense of what's usual.

Well said. By "nothing" I should've said what you did.
When I was young here in Sweden, we had "Scouterna" (loosely translated as the scouts) which included both boys and girls. With little to no single-sex education it is very naturally that educational organizations also do not segregate on gender.

When the boy scouts started in 1908 I would guess that single-sex education was the norm in the US?

It's an okay 3d printer. I use it for making toys, statues, etc. There are various companies that offer 3d printing as a service with different materials, precisions, surface finishes etc like stratasys, 3D hubs, xometry.

These printers are nice to prototype with before sending it to a more costly and less time investment forgiving production printer, or quick around the house jobs/play.

You know, I couldn't give two shits about xenophobic and racist people like them, really. Let them do that and be happy.

As we say in my country however: "be stupid but get the fuck off the road".

Bad influences on young people from old and prejudiced (and bitter?) people is never good. We need a world with more open-minded people and societies like the Japanese aren't helping matters at all. But to be as objective as possible -- not sure our societies help matters either.

My perspective : marijuana is a pretty good palliative medicine, and perhaps in high single doses can be used for psychedelics type work, but generally it doesn't have the healing properties for mental health that the classic psychedelics do.

Breathwork < > fitness. Breathwork, specifically Holotropic Breathwork, was developed by an Md as an alternative to LSD psychotherapy after prohibition began.

I'm happy to discuss more privately as I know these things can be very personal.

You could keep the virus fingerprint database outside the codebase. Customers would then pay for access (and updates) to the fingerprints.

The fingerprints have to be some sorts of data, like regular expressions or other limited instruction set which can only parse the incoming file and not communicate with outside world.

The company could automatically release fingerprints into the open after a time, say 6 months.

Well, there are totally different reasons (code quality and silly politics) preventing this one from being adopted.
So did you try Rust for two years before deciding it didn’t help you? Your position on these things is across the board absurd

>if you’re on meds ...

Have you considered that the people in this thread saying it doesn’t work aren’t just saying “it’s hard”?

67% of college kids are suffering acute anxiety, is 67% of the college populations only problem a lack of excercise? Your insistence on these things is frustrating and obnoxious. The people who called you insensitive have very good cause, I hope that doesn’t make you proud.

Also, is discipline even a good thing? Do you think cave men said “well I have to hunt 5 hours a day...”? Probably not, or we wouldn’t have agriculture. Discipline seems like a substitute for ludditetism.

Also! Advice like this live and die by how hard they are to follow. If your advice is so hard to follow for te depressed that they won’t do it, it’s much harder to be proven wrong.

Sorry to rant but this advice is upsetting to me.
You could be less snarky but yeah.

Shorter history: For a long time people had short brutal lives. Then the industrial revolution happened.
So we have a pool of agents, they can send binary blobs, they need to have X many tokens per day to survive (start it low, let it grow over time), they need some way to mine a blockchain, allow some way for them to reproduce via genetic ai & random mutations, add in some misc mechanism of disaster in order to reward saving for a rainy day, maybe add in a mechanism where agents can group up to kill other agents, see if they evolve a means of striking deals & splitting up loot for future attacks

Then eventually add a human console where people can invest in agents, see if the agent will give out returns, eventually allowing agents to put smart contracts on ethereum & interact with misc smart contracts..
> maybe prove that democracy is optional for economic prosperity

That was never in question. It's been known since at least Tocqueville and certainly long before that.

"I admit that, in a democratic State thus constituted, society will not be stationary; but the impulses of the social body may be regulated and directed forwards; if there be less splendor than in the halls of an aristocracy, the contrast of misery will be less frequent also; the pleasures of enjoyment may be less excessive, but those of comfort will be more general; the sciences may be less perfectly cultivated, but ignorance will be less common; the impetuosity of the feelings will be repressed, and the habits of the nation softened; there will be more vices and fewer crimes. In the absence of enthusiasm and of an ardent faith, great sacrifices may be obtained from the members of a commonwealth by an appeal to their understandings and their experience; each individual will feel the same necessity for uniting with his fellow-citizens to protect his own weakness; and as he knows that if they are to assist he must co-operate, he will readily perceive that his personal interest is identified with the interest of the community. The nation, taken as a whole, will be less brilliant, less glorious, and perhaps less strong; but the majority of the citizens will enjoy a greater degree of prosperity, and the people will remain quiet, not because it despairs of amelioration, but because it is conscious of the advantages of its condition. If all the consequences of this state of things were not good or useful, society would at least have appropriated all such as were useful and good; and having once and for ever renounced the social advantages of aristocracy, mankind would enter into possession of all the benefits which democracy can afford."

The world is somewhat a free to play game where people start in various stages of the game in terms of level, currency and powers.

The really high up players who enter at that level are playing a different type of game because they are exponentially more powerful and have more resources to take on bigger battles and losses aren't as impactful but victories are. Risk is low and game on!

Other players start out gold farming and have to be careful and strategic but they can get taken out by a random small event too costly for their level of resources and their world has ended. Risk was too high but way smaller than the risk for the high up player, game over.

Risk levels vary at all startups/companies really. The investor is taking a risk but that is one of ten deals, but has wealth to fall back on and probably owns the building. The executives are taking risks but have a golden parachute. The early employees are taking a risk but also pretty compensated, if they make it. The employees after are taking little risk but have the most to lose on someone else's risk and the least to gain. The risk should be rewarded as it can bring others wealth but the wealthy risk taker is a high up player in the "free to play" game with less to lose overall in the leaderboards.

That sounds really interesting. What tasks did you attempt?

If you have open-sourced this in any sense, would enjoy to check it out and/or contribute.
I agree with that mentality!

In regards to gender stereotypes: children are very impressionable, and we should encourage the ideology that people of either gender can have any combination of personality traits, interests, and so on. If gender stereotypes are naturally disassembled to an extent, I think the world would be a somewhat better place.

The only point of contention I have is when people begin to associate the personalities involved in gender stereotypes with the negative connotation of gender stereotypes, and thus discourage those personalities. We shouldn't try to remove all gender stereotypes with punishment, as you said; some are natural. We should just aim to remove restrictions on personalities as much as possible, and see what the effects are.

#WEATHERALERT Low Pressure Area Now Tropical Depression Odette
<justify>MANILA, Philippines – The low pressure area (LPA) which was northeast of Borongan City, Eastern Samar developed into a tropical depression late Wednesday evening, October 11. It has been given the local name Odette.<br><br>

State weather bureau PAGASA said Tropical Depression Odette is now located 925 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, moving west northwest at a fast 26 kilometers per hour (km/h).<br><br>

The tropical depression has maximum winds of 45 km/h and gustiness of up to 60 km/h.<br><br>

Signal number 1 is raised in Cagayan and Isabela, which means these areas will begin feeling Odette's effects in at least 36 hours. (READ: FAST FACTS: Tropical cyclones, rainfall advisories)<br><br>

The tropical depression is expected to make landfall in Isabela by Friday morning, October 13, if its direction and speed do not change.</justify>

It doesn't notify you of refunds as far as I know. So you won't be able to track your exact account balance just based on these emails. It's good enough for knowing what's going on IMO.

Similarly, the game "Hyper Light Drifter" had a number of challenges, and even a pretty hefty achievement, which required the character to dash really quickly without touching any boundaries.

On PC, you could use a keyboard script to repeatedly press the dash key every 500ms and steer with the mouse. Something that was pretty difficult with a controller.
This is unwarranted AI optimism, not really any more grounded in reality than the early AI researchers who in the 1950s thought that AI would be imminently solved through symbolic manipulation.

One of the key features of human intelligence is being able to very quickly understand and solve problems on first impression, with no directly relevant experience or knowledge to pull from. Insight.

There's also the data representation problem. People can store, categorize, and process any kind of information.[1] The problem with both symbolic systems and "neural network"-type models is that they don't really allow for this. The problem with symbolic manipulation is more obvious: the categories of things and ideas are flexible, indeterminate, and innumerable, and a system that captures some subset of the complexity falls apart when you add a new, confounding, fact. Neural networks too are fragile, made-for-purpose, and fail to solve the above-mentioned first impression problem. You can look at a chair that looks nothing like any chair you've ever seen, yet realize that it is a chair.

[1]My own little theory is that consciousness is a crucial aspect of this. In the absence of a more specialized system in the brain (such as for language), any kind of information can be stored and remembered as a conscious experience. I don't pretend to be well-versed enough in the relevant neuroscience and philosophy to evaluate how plausible this is.
Data scientist for Upbeat here. We generated the topics using an unsupervised LDA model trained on a couple million articles from high-quality publications. We took the most intuitive/human-readable of those and used them as the categories you see in the dropdown menu. To get relevant journalists for each company, we scan through our journalist database to find writers whose articles have a high vector similarity to the topics chosen.

It's less trolling and more griefing [1]. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

I personally know a real-life griefer who spends his time disrupting discussion boards. He's an intelligent and creative guy, but he sees his mission as being a counterweight to all the positive, friendly discourse that is going on. I'm glad he limits himself to online activities.

In some venues -- the multiple infamous flying penis attacks in Second Life, for example -- griefing can be fun and even beautiful. Rarely in real life.

Inspiration is one thing, but counterbalance is another. The whole point is that the research indicates your experience is decidedly an outlier: it doesn't counterbalance anything.

For every one of you (or me, for that matter: I was born into a family in which few had graduated high school and grew up frequently going hungry in a single parent home and am now a well paid physics PhD holding data scientist and engineer) there are dozens (or more) of people who grew up in similar conditions and never made more of it.
we show that founders
who received advice from other founders with more “hands-on” management styles were more
likely to reorient their own management activity, and subsequently experience lower employee
attrition and higher rates of firm survival eight months after the intervention. For founders who
already had a more hands-on management style themselves, these interactions also increased
their rate of hiring. Our study demonstrates management skill can be learned by young firms
via networks and subsequently influence performance.

To think the author's statement was intended to apply to every single person past or present is ridiculous. I'd prefer we continue using language the way rational people do, and just chalk refutations like this one up to pedantry.

Obviously the author was talking about the general case. The parent commenter's refutation cites one edge case, and on that basis declares the author's statements are untrue.

This is a huge time-waster in (almost) every public argument on (nearly) every subject and I wish people (not all people, only those who engage in this pedantry) would stop doing it. To qualify the relative scale of (almost) every single claim or assertion would make (many) articles unreadable (in my opinion) and speech so labored that (many) people would probably prefer to just not engage at all.
