VCs invest in high-risk, high-reward investments. Retired people want steady returns with less risk. Investment vehicles exist on a spectrum. You cannot talk about "investors" as a single class with a single preference. That's how both government bonds and VC can exist.

It’s just an example of the product not being stagnant. There’s a lot of things that go into current Twitter and it’d probably take no less than a couple hundred engineers just to keep the site up assuming no R&D whatsoever. That adds a ton of inertia and friction against changes.

Anyway I’m happy with Twitter’s direction. They’ve gone and made it less toxic, and in fact I’ve recently created an account because it has become a pleasure to use.
Twitter has been working on an Edit button since last year
Given our shocking lack of common sense as a species, if computers did learn common sense, how would we even know?
Just show me the movies on my services sorted by box office gross and I’m good.
Very interesting. I had thought of going that route when thinking of compiling a songbook, but wondered if simply going with LaTeX, would be better. Anyway, my project never materialized.
From what I've read, the python scripting is very empowering... I'm curious to learn more details about how you got this project done. You can private message me if you prefer.
The process has gotten a bit more efficient, but it still is nothing that can be run effectively in a garage. We are talking about separating not two elements, but two isotopes that behave chemically indentical and just differ in mass by 1.3% of the weight of the heavier one.

Another possibity is building a breeder reactor first to breed Plutonium.

Also, where to get Uranium ores in the first place? You can be sure that governments keep close tabs on who takes funny stones out of certain mines.
I just think that a separation of intends may be suitable. One is the actual search term (optionally verbatim and using logical conjunctions), the other provides loose contextual information and/or categories specifying the source set. These are by no means the same.

(Compare the example given above. I don’t think that you can do a search like this with Google today. This should also help with issues like newer content masking established, older one.)

Edit: As it is, search engines return a quite diffuse field of information, which may not what you want, when you're looking for specific information. Some of this is related to the confusion of search terms and categorial and/or contextual information, while its also due to the eagerness to return any information at all (and as current as possible). Sometimes, this may be even worse than returning nothing. Also, this may lead to an eventual erosion of information in the long term.

For centuries, human knowledge (at least, in Western cultures) has been organized in terms of content and categories. In a classic library, a research like the one mentioned above would have been easy. As it is, this kind of structured concept doesn't work with search engines anymore, or, at least, not too well.

It depends on context. If I meet someone because of a common interest or thing we are doing (we are at the gym, I recognize them as a regular, and say hi, or whatever) then yes I'll have some light conversation.

A totally random person walking up to me and starting to talk? No, that's weird and I'm immediately at yellow alert at minimum, if not searching for the nearest exit.
> force the public to confront the fact that the commentary they are seeing may have, in fact, originally been on something entirely different than the context it is currently presented in.

How is this a good thing? I’d have 0 confidence that a reply was in fact to the tweet I’m currently seeing. Then how can I accurately reply to that initial reply?

And what’s to stop someone from selling the ‘edit’ on their viral tweet? If you edit a tweet does your like and RT count get reset so your tweet is no longer trending?
I'm glad it is working for you but my point is that because SSRI and Western medicine largely addresses the observed biomechanical process, it is never going to be a complete solution, and hence I use the term band-aid. Addressing why through therapy can work but obviously if that was true we wouldn't need SSRIs in the first place. My point was that the Western approach to mental health has largely been the opposite of holistic and trauma-phobic. How do we know the wounds heal with SSRI and whatever popular politically correct therapy methodology is approved by academics at the time?

I did not put blame the person experiencing depression, like OP described, he finds SSRI questionable and is open to be without it and he is justified in doing so. He is completely in his right to question and trust his intuition by seeking second advice on here, most of which I'm appalled to say reads more like logical, academic explanations.

I simply described an alternative that has been increasingly viewed positively by the scientific community lately and there is nothing in that suggests I am guilt tripping them for being depressed.

Coming from SSRIs, I can tell you that the alternative I suggested that has already been downvoted into oblivion created a lasting change and it is consistent with other people who have previously been exposed to SSRI.

If depression was the product of their environment then there really is no need for any SSRI, the external situation can be changed. Doctors would be prescribing plane tickets to Bangkok but instead they hand you out pills. It does not appear to be what OP is describing and your argument is shaky at best.

Finally I will add, go ahead and try SSRI but it is not something you go on and off on without paying penalties for it. You don't know what you will be like weeks, months, years after it. You don't know what habits, lasting side effects you might develop during and after. It's not the job of the drug to know or care, it does what it is described as.

Just remember at the end of the day, your doctor is more than happy to prescribe you whatever anti-depressants sales rep incentivize them to. It's not his job to care nor is he is trained to by profession.
Time will tell.

Elon's business track record is hard to ignore though.
Nope I don't think this is true. People keep parroting this like some sort of truth where it clearly is not.
> I'm convinced the death of the web and independent forum communities is largely the fault of Google's lousy search results no longer actually returning real web results.

I think you have the cause and effect reversed. (Though I disagree with the meme that Google's results have gotten worse. For me, it's more useful than it's ever been. I often find the information I need without even needing to click on a result.)
I expect people to have sufficient cognitive capacities by the time they are 18 to choose their religion. Even earlier if you know English and have access to the internet. Although financial dependence on one’s family could require putting on a show.

The idea that an absolute majority of Americans have really spent any time even thinking about Twitter's censorship policies seems divorced from the reality I live in.
I listed 6 aspects and you cherry-picked two.

Plus, your reply is besides the point.
They have a "layman's terms" section where it states that for now, in beta, telemetry is going to be on regardless

They promise that after beta you won't need Github, and telemetry will be optional.

Though imo this is just as easy to read and understand:

Doctors aren't always effective at treating depression. Especially if they use a therapy modality or medication that doesn't work for you. That doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to them, but it's also helpful to read experiences from from other people.

My opinion, doing both is good. Consult a professional and read about other people's experiences.

At the very least maybe somebody mentions a form of therapy that you've never heard of that you can ask your doctor about, or find a therapist that specializes in. If you ignored everyone's advice online you'd never even hear about that.

Personally, I'm starting Internal Family Systems therapy, which has seemed more promising for my psyche than many other modalities. But there are countless others. CBT is a good place to start, but doesn't work for everyone.
Yes _technically_ you can go into settings and whitelist local IP ranges, on which you can log in with local credentials. But it's not on by default, and you can't turn it on if the Internet goes down and you can't auth with plex.tv.
In 2013 at my 30 year HS reunion, I was talking to another student. He'd gone from being in the "jock" click to being a very cool artist in college. We got talking about literature and cyberpunk. He said that if I liked Gibson then I should read Stephenson - as he is the "continuation of the genre". The next year while visiting family in Portland, OR. I saw Snow Crash at a bookstore and bought it. My daughter read it while we were there and, as she thoroughly enjoyed it, I read it upon returning home. Then she and I, during a college trip, listened to the audio book. I've since read the book a second time and also listed to the audio book a second time. I have read at least 6 of his books since. I have thanked my HS friend since then for introducing me to the Neal Stephenson.
I thought this was about the landing lights of approaching flights, illuminating the backyards.
At least in my experience, many more founders than you might expect have zero business sense and basically think that "growing the business" = hiring lots of employees. At 200k a pop all in, 100 employees will cost you 20 million. And so on.
freakin' awesome most probably, if you're on the side of half full glass.
I believe in general people would think that a banned book is bad, comes quite natural with the word banned…
First off, depression sucks. It's absolutely debilitating. I hope you're able to find relief.

I have taken a plethora of mood-stabilizers throughout different periods of my life. I went with no mood stabilizers for a number of years after leaving a job that was unfulfilling. I had to get back on an anti-depressant last fall after the pan looked to be over and then we went into another lockdown. I resisted the idea when it was presented by my therapist because I didn't want to admit that depression was on top of me. I should have relented sooner. My life became much more manageable once I started taking an antidepressant again.

I'm not going to comment on what I've taken or what my personal results were. That's for a medical professional to help you sort. What I will say is that not all antidepressants / mood-stabilizers have the same set of benefits and trade-offs. Be ready to try more than one to find something that is the correct balance for you. Don't get discouraged when the first (or second, or third) isn't the right solution. I'm not advocating swapping out prescriptions for the rest of your life. Just acknowledging that it can take some time to find the right one.

Finally, I recommend asking your physician about a sleep aid. I used to take something that absolutely knocked me on my ass but that could be habit-forming. I never formed a habit. But my doctor recently suggested something milder that hadn't worked for me years before. My body's chemistry has evolved since, and the milder medication is now effective. I had also stopped taking sleep aids for years until the pan gradually degraded my sleep until my memory was garbage and my physical balance was affected. Operating on a perpetual sleep deficit is not tenable.

The plan is not to remain on an antidepressant and sleep aid for the rest of my life. They're there to help me get through a period of time when they are necessary. How long I take them depends on world and personal events. I'm not going to beat myself up if I'm still taking them longer than I originally anticipated. They help. That's what counts.

PS: while I've had some pretty bad side effects from various medications (one made me extremely aggressive and risked putting me in physical danger because of how I responded to provocation), the more common effects are things like weight gain, sleep issues, dry mouth, etc. Don't let your fear of SSRIs stop you from finding out if they can have a positive life-altering effect. Best wishes to you.
I think the conundrum is people want a computer to read their minds to make things easier for them, but when it does, it creeps them out. The solution, IMHO, is less technical and more psychological. If I was trying to replace FAANG, that is the thing I would consider how to address.
I'm putting together some pull requests at some point in the near-ish future to bring it up to date with ESP-IDF 4.3 and add some more interfaces for some modules (esp_pthread.h and some others). It's working quite well on Nim v1.6.4 -- though I set my project up with PlatformIO and adjusted the CMakeLists.txt to read nimcache, and wrote my own nim.cfg

I'll likely setup a new template project for all of that, as I think PlatformIO's lib folder allowing people to add C libraries (including their own they write) and manage, build, and flash their boards is quite nice. Its a bit different to how Nesper sets up its project, so I reckon a secondary template project is the way to go.

Wrote my own tasks too, just to be sure.

Honestly one thing I'd love to do is see if I can get Nim calling the ESP32 toolchain itself: compile out to object files and just have CMake link them, rather than the current --compileOnly:on approach. Might be more trouble than it's worth though!

Also, I have full JTAG debugging (including breakpoints in the Nim source) working remarkably well!
Wouldn't session-based rate limiting realistically accomplish the same goal for (2) ?
> I realize this is somewhat of a taboo topic

Unfortunately true; I opened up a few times to different friends, and it never went well. But more people talking about it is the only way to change that, so thanks for posting!

I was in a similar situation as you; I remember once leaving work at noon claiming to feel sick, but actually it was because I couldn't think of anything except how I wanted to kill myself.

A couple years later, I'm still around, and here's what helped me:

* Bupropion, 150mg XL
* Some basic understanding of CBT
* Adderall

> The obvious solution to these problems are SSRIs and other anti-depressants. These drugs are very powerful but have really bad side-effects for most people that take them.

SSRI's definitely have an unsettlingly long list of side-effects, but keep in mind two things:

1. Not everyone experiences them; anecdotally, my sister started Prozac recently, and she's told me it's been great for her
2. If you do experience side effects you don't like, you can just... stop taking them. There's lot's of different SSRIs with different effects, and from what I've read it's common to cycle though a few before finding what works best.

Also, SSRIs are not the only option. As mentioned, I'm taking Bupropion, which has virtually no serious side effects. Look it up. And if you want to try it, you can just ask a doctor for it; tell them your concerns about SSRIs and just ask for Bupropion. No doctor is going to force you on SSRIs if you don't want them.

Side note: the XL version is the 24, slow release version. Works much better for me than the standard 4 hour tablets I started with.

On the topic of CBT, as others in this comment section have recommended, I read Feeling Good by David Burns, and it did help. It wasn't enough on its own, but a basic understanding of CBT goes a long way. The basic idea is training yourself to recognize bad thought patterns and taking action before they affect your mood. Honestly, it's stuff everyone could stand to learn.

Finally, I also figured out that I had ADHD. This was related to my depression because, frankly, it was depressing to struggle to accomplish the basic tasks other people seemed to have no trouble with. Especially noticeable as a programmer, where intensely focusing on a single thing for a long time is... basically the job description. Adderall has been a life changer for me.

> Have you been able to triumph without chemical assistance and what did that look like? Is my utter terror of these drugs warranted or should I just bite the bullet and try them?

I totally get the mindset of not wanting to take drugs. It feels like a crutch; something you shouldn't need to do. But eventually I realized that taking drugs daily wasn't any different than wearing glasses daily. I need the glasses to correct a biological defect with my eyes. I need the drugs to correct a biological defect with my brain. Humans are fragile, and a lot us aren't built to spec. The great thing about living in the modern world is that we can actually fix these problems.
Estrogen, ecstasy, and a lot of internal self-work did it for me.

Then I moved to Seattle and the insane lack of sunlight gave me a ton of seasonal depression. A huge sun lamp and megadoses of vitamin D kept it at bay but it still kept creeping up, I felt like I had about 3y left before the suicidal urges won when I moved somewhere sunnier.
Don't be an imposter
Your comment makes me wonder if something like 1Password would be a better candidate for tracking household goods. You could trust it as much as you're willing to trust it with passwords.

I imagine clicking "New Item > Catalog" (which could create an in-vault Sqlite database). Perhaps they could also build a plugin system for third parties to provide nice-looking, domain-specific front-end UIs for tracking various types of things in 1Password.

Vaults can be up to 1GB in size -- more than enough for personal text data and relatively small images.
I wonder how feasible would it be to index everything locally? I mean how far are we from having the cpu and storage space to allow a search within our computers?

Do we really need to store everything ? Maybe a local "ai magic" could select the specific information we regularly search for and sync from an open public index.

In the case we need results it could sync and/or request those bits we are not indexing locally.

Just thinking out loud
I wonder how difficult it would be to scan and print your own?
Where are you located? What are the symptoms? Many times, depression is a symptom of a deeper problem, especially if lifelong.

What do you mean specifically by "I was able to sleep when I wanted to"? You have profound insomnia? Any serious enough sleep disorder will give you depression, and if sleep is an issue - address that first. Sleep medicine is quite involved, and often if it's something subtle you'd have to travel to get expert advice. Stanford is a pretty good sleep medicine centre, both in respiratory and circadian disorders.

As for the safe treatments: there are now clinics that offer ketamine infusions (nearly instant remission even in very severe cases), and psilocybin, under medical supervision.

Both are fairly safe, and have no discontunation/withdrawals symptoms. You will be screened if it's appropriate for you, and it will always be administered under medical supervision the entire time. Ketamine is extremely successful, most in nearly instant remission that least at least a week or two, but the effects do not last forever, and most patients require ongoing treatment. At least you may know what it feels like to be not-depressed.

SSRIs are fairly safe in hands of a competent and most importantly caring prescriber. SNRIs however, at least anecdotally, many prescribers no longer use. Look for someone who truly cares and wants to help. Discontiuation is real, but any competent prescriber will know how to taper it, often a compounding pharmacy is used.

You should have any and all thyroid issue ruled out definitively, all nutritional deficiency ruled out, all allergies/intolerances, no matter how seemingly insignificant eliminated. Full in-lab polysomnography and sleep endoscopy should be done to rule out any sleep issues. Actigraphy might be helpful too, if you have a circadian disorder.

The best proven au-naturel anti-depressants is lots of exercise and lots and lots of social interaction. Did they help?

If not, and you have so called endogenous depression, some sort of medication will be more than likely needed, but in such cases SSRIs will be tried and are often found insufficient. You may need MAOIs, most of the time Parnate will be used. It is safe, but it comes with absolute contraindications to a few foods, and requires a dedicated diet (no cheese, and no fermented foods, not that difficult to maintain), and you'd need someone with an experience using this medication, it's a bit of an orphan drug at this point. I'd try ketamine or psilocybin first.

I never heard of anyone with lifelong depression recover with therapy alone, usually a combination of medication+therapy, and very, very often an underlying condition was found too.
Just in time for midterms. No real solution on lowering the cost of education, just blatant buying votes by dangling a carrot.
Thank you for the extremely valuable edit! I am going to try it now too.
Which media is controlled by the state in the US? Or are you implying the lack of 'Russia funded media' on Fox?
