Have you read "The Continent of Lies" by James Morrow? I can't remember how I came across it, not quite my normal reading fare, but it delves into some of what you are talking about.
In case you're interested: "hypnogogic" refers to experiences you have while falling asleep. The word for experiences you have while waking up is "hypnopompic".

Why Is Variance Squared?
The "inner dialogue" is called the default mode network in neuroscience. It doesn't have to be thinking in "words" necessarily; you could also skip the words and still be thinking in a resting state. It serves the purpose of ruminating, reflecting on memories, doing introspection. Paradoxically, your brain actually consumes more calories doing this type of resting thinking than you do in task-oriented thought, like when you're replacing a broken pipe or solving a leetcode challenge. Depressed people tend to have too much default mode network activity.

I think it's maladaptive. You are better off having no default mode network activity.

Of course it's another thing entirely if you're too stupid to have an inner dialogue, verbal or not, but I feel like even non-human animals are capable of an inner dialogue. It doesn't add anything useful.
I think in visual outlines when thinking visual things, and have to think a bit more if I want to fill it in with detail. I use audio when reading words, but otherwise think abstractly (like not audio or video, etc). Sometimes I self talk, many times I don't.
You’d be surprised how sophisticated Home Depot is. They switched their monolith to microservices using Spinnaker and even contributed back to Spinnaker.
Flu viruses get less dangerous over time. The more deadly strains literally kill off their hosts, making those strains less likely to spread.
What feature of Spotify was "not very good" for finding new artists?

This is funny. I can't imagine anyone doing that. There is no end to that. Like imagine someone thinking while walking down a lane "I am walking down the lane, and now I am going to turn left ... " this is endless ...

I rarely have internal monolog, but instead have an internal dialog. Most of the time I'm explaining ideas to people, sometimes arguing with them.

I've found this is how I think through things. "Talking" things out with the various models of people I have in my head can be useful...

I've found when there isn't conversation happening, its typically replaced by music. I can hear and play songs perfectly in my mind. Listening to music with headphones helps turn off the conversation so I can focus on other tasks more fully.

I used to be concerned I was crazy for having these dialogs, but, I get along ok. :)
> can anyone else do this?

I do it frequently. Sometimes I can't stop myself from doing it, which can be annoying.

Stupid question: is it possible that hygiene practices contribute to outbreaks like this?

I remember reading or hearing that one input to recent wildfires was the fact that decades of controlled burns to limit the spread of wildfires left a lot of available fuel that otherwise would have burned naturally.

So in that vein, do we have humans with compromised immunity thriving but susceptible to inter-species mutations like this novel coronavirus?
I personally find the act of throwing away the garbage shots to be paralyzing with digital. If you have 8 nearly identical shots, which do you keep? And the act of examining and comparing to make a choice based on some minute detail drastically slows down the whole cataloging and editing process.

It's the paralysis of choice. Less is literally more, and I personally don't find an evening of spending a couple hours paralyzed by choice and analyzing minute details to be enjoyable. At all.

And yes, film makes you think a concept through fully and optimize everything before you press the shutter. My 'hit' rate is much higher with film than digital.

I have so many cameras I don't have time to use them all, but my Fuji cameras and LF lenses are definitely among my favorites as well. Very underrated, Fuji didn't do a good job of advertising in the west at all. My general purpose camera is a Pentax 67 though. Looking forward to trying a new Polaroid rangefinder that was converted to 4x5 as well. Just bought some Velvia for a cool $2 per frame.
The impact would be minimal only if the API of the microservice didn't change. But in the same codebase too, if you have a module whose API doesn't change the changes from refactoring it would likewise be minimal.
The way I solved this is by stopping completely to listen to pop songs. I will actively avoid the radio or web stations so I won't be "contaminated" by these cheap songs. I actively look for more complex music: jazz/classical style and similar.
Unfortunately global politics has always crept into global public health decisions. There's no avoiding it.
Never underestimate what someone will believe when they have a vested interest in believing it.
Thanks for info on the jargon. I assumed it was, however I also assume there are many like me initially confused by the term without knowledge of how that term is used in that space.
> Plus you are assuming gmail.

There aren't any assumptions. You use this method if the user provided a gmail address. Users of other email services fall back to the default method.
yep. if the choice is "taking a risk" and burning down your meagre savings without the promise of a payout, or grinding away at a low-risk and low-reward job, the choice is exceedingly clear for most people.

you need slack capacity to take risk. millenials haven't ever had it, and they've repeatedly recieved strong economic signals to carefully hoard any slack they can find rather than risk it to get more.
I'm not an expert on viruses by any means but that seems unnecessarily pessimistic. The number of infections is likely much much higher than the confirmed cases (laboratories have only so many test kits available per day) but most people stay asymptomatic. This would reduce the actual mortality rate, not increase it.
Some interesting comments:

I don't understand what your point is. Are you saying the bans are not limited to non-essential travel? Because everything I've read about them thus far has said they are.
The reason why people still shoot on film (or record vinyl records) is the same reason why people still make ukiyo-e woodblock prints: it's an art form, and both the process and the results are interesting.
I've been a US expat in Europe for almost 20 years now.

I spent a lot of time in Belgium (to the point I became a citizen) and am now in Barcelona starting a FinTech.

Europe lacks both a risk-taking mentality and the framework to foster real entrepreneurship.

Spain was able to become much more competitive thanks to the austerity they were forced to go through post-crisis, but there are still way more bureaucratic hoops I have to jump through compared to what I would need to do to start my business in the US.

Incorporating an LLC alone (the equivalent of a c-corp is rarely used by startups over here) requires 3,000 EUR in the bank plus about the same amount in legal fees. In many other countries, it's a five-figure deposit to get a company set up. As the director of the company, I'm required to register as a freelancer so that I "can't fire myself and claim unemployment" which is ridiculous within itself.

Stock options don't really exist in Europe either, meaning I can't really issue them to attract talent. In otherwords, I need to access more capital at an earlier stage to grow my business in comparison to US competitors.

Finally, there is no such thing as chapter 11 bankruptcy within the EU, which limits risk-taking by businesses.

As for France, it's great that they have a visa. However, the legal and labor system is similar to Belgium, making founding and scaling a company a royal PITA. Belgium is a great place to work in a giant company (usually a bank or an insurer) but an absolutely lousy place to start a business, visa program or otherwise.

Europe needs to get this figured out. The continent has too much talent and too large of a market to not be able to be a global innovation force.
Yes it's almost as if this thread is attached to an article about how Apple Maps is not the same as it once was
I've come to believe that the internal monologue is just an "echo", or "audio" so to call it.

i.e. it's not your real thought process, but a mere trace of it.

It's easy to attach oneself to this voice, to believe that that voice is you. But once you see how this voice is analog to e.g. "playing" a song in your head, you might question the notion.

I have the same thing going on in my head. Sometimes I think that this has a negative effect on me, because it's very easy for me to procrastinate, because all I need for that is to daydream.

It helped me through school though. I cannot imagine going through classes without daydreaming. It sounds like torture.
FOSDEM 2020 Schedule
Is that a universal truth, or is it historical? Situational? This virus is said to spread well before a person even knows they're infected. A mutation could simply extend that period. Or it could increase the degree to which it is contagious without affecting mortality, right? Or are you saying that this simply doesn't happen in the real world? Flu viruses only mutate with regards to lethality, and only in a way that works against its overall impact?

I believe I am similar. I have often thought that I would not consider locked-in-syndrome to be as bad as others express as a worse-than-death fate. I think I would just happily continue wandering within my meandering mind.

I think it is detrimental to achieving things though. Actually doing things takes far more discipline and that's time that could be used for coming up with more internal ideas.

As a side note to this, I also have aphantasia. So I don't get any images. Just concepts,dialog, connections etc.
I use Mailgun with various client sites. Where I find these sorts of services awkward as they become paid (Google Maps APIs are similar) is that for each client I have to put my credit card on file, monitor charges and bear costs in case of a blow-up OR I have to go through the hassle of coaching technically hapless clients through logging in and adding a credit card.

“I thought you said it would be free?”
“It probably will be, but we still have to add your card.”
“What do you mean ‘probably’?”
WeAreHunted was mind-blowingly consistent and effective. As long as I "liked" things I enjoyed, I almost never felt the need to skip whatever it presented.

It worked off of music blogs, with the idea that at any given time, some collection of blogs/bloggers would have found the next big thing.

I'm confused -- are you saying the writer is wrong because of your anecdotal process for coding?

As someone who writes I would have a very hard time imagining writing without the ability to have a mental monologue. I do know Alan Moore said in an interview that he would talk to himself in the mirror. Maybe he's an instance of a writer who doesn't think in words.

I would not think of a blue elephant as the word 'blue elephant' it would be the mental image of one. However, when it comes to thinking about a multiple choice question on a practice test or a quote I've recently read I can recall the words on the page of paper and the words mentally "read out".
Yeah. I'm not opposed to such idioms. As I mentioned before, you get used to them.
Something I still miss in Apple Maps is any way to plot out and measure distances. I like to take walks to keep my step count up on my fitness tracker and I use Google Maps to plan a route using their distance measuring feature. Would love to do that on my iPad but alas, no such luck.
Agreed, these sorts of pieces really irritate me because they almost seem to be blaming young people for following basic incentives. Want people to go into an abandoned field? Great, pay them more than jobs they are equally well suited for, give them autonomy, grant them social status, or give them a great lifestyle. No one with other prospects is going to come to a profession if they are paid like shit，treated with no more deference than a fast food worker, saddled with a million regulations from the government, given no autonomy, and / or granted no job security without commensurate upside potential. This is not hard to understand.

The government / employers simply don't want to put their money where their mouth is.
Stop spreading misinformation and getting your information from Twitter, and when you do—try reading it first.

Even when compared to SARS in that chart it looks like it has a lower R0 value and about the same fatality rate, minus some odd outliers and what it likely fake news (it doesn't have a fatality rate of 56%). And the citation for that 56% number is a link another link to Twitter… that is self referential. And actually I think YOU are also that person.

When people talk about "fake news" this is what they are talking about. This is like 3-layers deep of fake news. You are linking to yourself in a post that uses yourself as a citation.

Spain really needs to fix its autonomo system to let people add to the economy without being overburdened with taxes and paperwork.

I remember reading that PSOE wants to amend it, but I don't know how much of that was just campaign rhetoric.
I'd maybe prioritize the UK over Alabama or Florida.
That's a great article. I'll extend this even further to include feeling sad for people whose lives I tangentially encounter. I felt unbearably sad the other day watching a middle-aged woman walk along in the rain holding an umbrella with an oversized signature of the painter Renoir on it, thinking this is her favourite umbrella, and the world doesn't care about it. Some kids, maybe her own, probably gave her shit about it. But she's still holding it and showing the world that she loves Renoir. Heartbreaking.
Is banning plastic bags the best solution?
In my experience you are correct about STEM. I live in flyover country, most STEM people I know pay off student debt in around 3-5 years no issues. Only a sample size of ~35, but low cost of living and high wages in engineering goes a long way. Also fly over country tends to have good cheap state schools, so not sure how well my experience translates to the coasts
I would if I could - I have an external GPU at home. Unfortunately Apple is (not without reason) angry at nvidia so they dropped support for Nvidia in Mac OS. I’d have to use Windows which is a big no no for me. Obvious pytorch can’t support it.
Grow up. WHO is not an organization to talk about human rights or other things. It's HEALTH, that's what the H is in. China started of slow, but they have really stepped up in doing their part to help contain the virus. Nothing wrong with recognizing their effort. Let's not forget that the scientists working around the clock in that country are not "China" but individuals like you and me.
I used to be like that, and it was helpful in many ways as I seemed to always be ready for wherever a conversation might go. But I wasn't living in the moment. Now I actively stop myself from simulating the various branches of potential conversations. It feels good to live in the moment (shaking my head a little when I feel it starting helps). The downside is that I don't have as many prepared responses and am more easily caught unaware, so now I rely more on sentences or behaviors that are broadly applicable to buy me time to think about my actual response.
My friends @ FB have absolutely helped get various things fixed for ME, unclear if there's a transitive level of assistance for other people.
I don't think there's any one (or 10) things that magically make it happen, but all of these help:

- Meet in person as much as possible, especially by bringing remote folks together for an extended (multi-day) trip. That encourages more informal in-person interaction. Plan specifically for non-scheduled time, non-working meals, etc.

- Have a regular one-on-one meeting with your reports, preferably weekly. Set up the structure to always have a planned topic portion and some small talk about life. Sometimes that'll be boring or painful, especially for techies. But the space it provides is extremely important.

- Communicate

- Communicate

- Communicate

- Seriously, the one thing that erodes trust more than any other is when people feel out of the loop or not consulted when others were. Document hallway conversations for remote folks. This is hard.
I had an internal monologue in my youth. Constantly searching for the next witticism in my mind before I said it and putting thought into structuring my words carefully for school. I later spent some time alone and developed a simulation of other people I could ask and have conversations with in my head.

Then I went to therapy and they told me to stop doing that, so I did. I also worked with people who barely speak english too often and my need for high level english faded. Now I mostly see a battle of ideas and artworks through a misty haze in my mind.

I tried out turning back on the inner monologue and I know I can. I used to have vivid dreams about playing starcraft and that's gone too with the skills. I think you think what is valuable to you.
I've used Apple Maps pretty much exclusively for the last couple of years. It's worked fine for me.

However, I am in a very populated area (Long Island, NY), so YMMV.
Most large Cloud Providers have an arrangement with at least one email service which allows some free service (at least no extra charge than whatever one is paying for the subscription), with a far higher limit than the typical free tiers - e.g. AWS/SES, Azure/SendGrid, IBM/SendGrid, GCP/Mailgun.

So if you're already paying for some cloud hosting somewhere you likely have a free email service you can use.
Translating thoughts to language does seem like a major bottleneck. But if your goal is to implement thoughts in socially communicable concepts (spoken word or text), or in mathematical or programmable concepts (algorithms, software), an internal monologue is a rough draft of the implementation that is continually refined during the reflective process.

Further, the internal monologue is just one representation in mind, it does not replace the full (non-verbalized) thought. Both are present and complement each other.
Even still it's not clear why that's an issue. Let's say that I've come up with a drug that treats a relatively unknown disease detectable through blood tests. So I go to Practice Fusion and pay them to develop a pop up that triggers when it sees a blood test indicative of the disease my drug cures. It seems like a win for everyone.

The only real difference I see is that opioids are on the balance probably harmful to patients. But that's an issue with the drugs and their recommended usage, not with the creation of the alert (assuming its recommendations followed accepted practice)
And I'd posit that you're wrong. :-) The reason? I do neither.

I do not have an internal monologue. I can construct one if I want to, but I do not have an "inner voice". When I type this, I do not prepare the sentences before I type them. They come to me as I type. I know exactly what I want to convey, but the sentence doesn't exist inside my head as a recognizable language or as any structure I can describe. The funny part? I don't think in neither English nor Norwegian (my native language), and I never have.

When it comes to imagery - I cannot construct a clear image of much at all in my head. I can, if I try hard, construct vague images of my mother, father, wife, daughter and very close friends in my head - but they're vague. Very, very vague. I have no problem recognizing people, though.

I do have fantastic spatial skills. If I walk through an area, I can see imagine it from different angles and positions - but not as a picture. It's abstract, without imagery. It's difficult to explain how it's processed in my head. I can spin things and know exactly how things will "look" from a different angle .. but I can't "visualize" it. This seems self-contradictory - but let me try to give a real life example. I visited Manila some 15 years ago. 10 years ago (5 years after being there) - I was going to show someone where I'd been on google maps. I had never looked at the area on a map before. I could just zoom in on the city, start from the airport, recognize the patterns from above, and zoom in on various things I had visited - switch to street view and show it from the angles I wanted. In seconds.

I can visit woods I've been to 20 years ago, and recognize where I am, and know the paths.

Still, no inner monologue. Not much mental imagery. Heck of a lot of connections though - but very very abstract.

It is not a real-time map, I find it bizarre that people believe that we can track the population's wellbeing in real-time. Are you ready to be hooked up to such a system?
