> In addition, the qualitative aspect of therapist views showed that, perhaps above and beyond this, therapists feel the impact of psychiatric drugs on the therapeutic relationship. While some felt that drugs could improve client engagement, there was a strong feeling that their effects (and side effects) had a negative impact on clients' ability to work therapeutically.

> Having to take meds can be viewed as failure by some therapists which is not helpful to clients. (Respondent 906)

One of the therapists even calls out other therapists about seeing medication and failure.

Probably better to read the whole thing but boils down to psychologists don't like medications.

Forget all this

gonna do a stream of consciousness as it's late here, the topic is pretty overdone and constantly attracts hate and honestly this is opening a can of worms but effectively you will see many many psychiatrists and doctors in general refer patients to psychological intervention. Psychologists recommending someone seek medications is nearly nonexistent.

Why? I suspect its similar to the divide between doctors and midwives. Midwives can occasionally see caesarian sections as 'cheating' and labour a right of passage for women.

Psychologists do something very similar, psychotherapy is a protracted unpleasant affair something that is worn as a badge of honour by those that undertake it.

Then someone takes a pill and says well to be honest I won't bother.

That irks some.

But more to the point, there are also audits and overall several pushes to reduce usage of psychotropics [0]. So it can literally feel like a failure as a psychologist if one of your patients has to start taking a medication and later in the week you literally have to track that a failure.

I was going to explain my reasoning, but I think such a terse answer conveys much of it.
It's worth pointing out that there's zero evidence that complexity is required for conscious. Our only evidence that beings other than ourselves are conscious is that we know ourselves to be conscious and they seem similar to us. IF inanimate objects were conscious, we wouldn't know because... well, none of us actually has direct evidence than anything other than ourselves is conscious.

> "Smuggling was also common practice for U.S. merchant ships penetrating the Chinese market for the first time... In the first decade of the nineteenth century, U.S. merchants would also begin to make inroads into the ilicit China opium market, much to the alarm of the British East India Company, which jealously protected its opium-smuggling monopoly. Jacque Downs, the foremost historian of the early U.S.-China opium trade, writes: "The Americans were marvelously ingenious in their exploitation of the commerce. They managed to circumvent both the East India Company's franchise and the Chinese Government's prohibition and carried on a very lucrative, if antisocial and ultimately ruinous trade." Dominated by a handful of players, opium smuggling by American shippers would become increasingly vital to U.S.-China trade relations, with opium sales generating the revenue to buy Chinese goods such as silks and teas. Many of America's most elite merchant families made fortunes in the opium trade: "Girard, Astor, Joseph Peabody of Salem, John Donnell of Baltimore, and the Perkins firm (now allied with Bryant and Sturgis) were among the largest shippers of the drug." "

Yes, legalization/decriminalization plus public health education campaigns and a ban on marketing and doctor kickbacks would probably destroy drug profits around the world.
I saw a talk once by a guy on how he spent his late teens/early twenties train-hopping around North America. The main point he wanted the audience to take away was Don't Do It - it's dangerous (stories of a few dead or disabled friends), uncomfortable, can have serious legal consequences, and (most importantly to him) the more rich tourists do it, the harder it gets for the desperate teenage runaways like himself, and others with zero resources, who are using it to survive.

I am not a lawyer, but I suspect if you asked one about your plan to go on YouTube and insult people, they'd advise against it. For one thing, YouTube might see it as a violation of their terms of service, and for another thing, you might be opening yourself up to litigation, which even if you won, could still be expensive.

Psychoanalysis is criminally underrated in the US. It’s detractors broadly don’t understand it. It has the potential to seriously help tons of people, but it is understandably challenged, as it represents a painful reckoning with yourself.

Who would want to find out that their personality causes many of their problems? Maybe it requires a bit of masochism to take advantage of.
It still many orders of magnitude better than Office 365 admin interface though. What a sad state of affairs.

Maybe I'm missing something or set some settings years ago and have forgotten but I have zero problems with restarting Firefox after an update from my package manager.

I regularly have 2-4 Firefox windows with dozens of tabs in each and a "You need to restart" button press takes like 4-5 seconds max to close all windows and reload them all with all of my tabs as they were. The most I have to do is stick each instance on the right workspace.

Granted each tab will reload when opening it but if I'm updating my OS packages I'm probably not exactly "in the zone".
Thanks. Glad at least one person got it :-) I took a risk with the subtlety!
> Nobody (that I'm aware of) suggests that there is an experience within the electronic circuit, despite the fact that it "senses" different frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. The circuit is qualia-free.

I personally feel like it's hard to justify being anything other than agnostic on this question (and indeed the question of whether inanimate objects like rocks have consciousness). Reason being essentially that we have so little understanding of consciousness that it seems hard to justify claiming any knowledge of it at all.
> Is that not sufficient? It's Descartes' "I think therefore I am". Qualia are just experiences, so if you experience something then they exist.

If you experience something, some experience exists. It does not mean that qualia exists. I've had people use the same personal experiential evidence for the soul, god, reiki, and a whole host of other metaphysical phenomenon. Hopefully we can agree that someone relating their experience of the metaphysical is not sufficient evidence that the metaphysical exists (if it is, we need to believe in a whole host of things).

I've followed a lot of neuroscience research. I've never seen any that says "hey, we've run into this problem, but it can't be solved by our current understanding of physics." The "hard problem" seems to reside entirely in the realm of philosophy. There might be a few neuroscientists who engage it in an informal way from time to time, but by and large the people who actually study the mind don't seem to have this problem.

That's not to say that there's not a lot left to learn. There is. But there's no evidence that anything like the "hard problem" or "qualia" exists or is a barrier to our understanding of the brain.
Psychiatrists prescribe medications and psychologists perform counseling. The role of prescriptive medication is to modify behavior that either increases focus or stabilizes emotionally heterogeneous states. That medication is often issued in consultation between a psychiatrist and the treating psychologist to enhance receptivity to counseling (or other social contexts) otherwise it may interfere.
I think that's two ways to say the same thing.

I don’t think so.

Apple has had record Mac sales for the past two years, since the release of Apple Silicon.

There’s no way wether or not any one particular website renders as expected is going to meaningfully impact Mac or iPhone sales.

Sure, Apple would prefer that users stick with Safari but they’re not going to lose any sleep if customers use Chrome/Firefox/Edge or whatever else on a new $2499 MacBook Pro.

It’s certainly way more in Reddit’s or other big web property best interest to perform well for Safari users, especially on iPhones and iPads where all browsers use WebKit as their rendering engine.

24GB NVidia 4090, starting at only $1599.00!

This is the era of the $1000 phone and the $100 laptop. Running a decent metaverse needs something comparable to an NVidia 1060 6GB from 2016. That cost about $250 back then, and it still costs about $250 used. NVidia has nothing in their current product line at that price point.[1] This is a big problem. There ought to be something with NVidia 1060 graphics power and memory around $100. But no. NVidia got spoiled selling to the Etherium mining business at a huge markup.

The Metaverse may have to wait until the new generation of Chinese GPUs ships.

If we were truly logically consistent creatures then yes but that's not really how it works. We carve out an exception for ourselves because some combination of not wanting this to happen to us and not doing it to others is the trade and because species that don't kill their own probably did better so it's a deeply ingrained evolutionary instinct.

Which by the way is why "othering" is such a powerful and dangerous thing. We can short circuit that evolutionary safeguard by getting people to see a group as "not their own." And the reverse actually works too which is why we have much much stronger feelings about people killing dogs -- "they're with us."

We're pack animals, this is pretty much expected. I doubt wolves feel any remorse killing a deer despite not hunting other wolves. And any other species on earth would view us the same way. And hell, we actually feel like we've done good by introducing predators into ecosystems who are going to brutally murder game we've deemed is overpopulated.

So look I don't know man this shit is complicated. The ethics of predators killing for food is weird. We're the only animal I know that grows other life with intention. It feels like really uncharted territory. The fact that we do it for plants too is also deeply fucked up even more than what we do to animals. Imagine chilling in a field with the body parts of thousands of your clones grafted into some other person's clones just to have your genitals harvested. Imagine being grown specifically for your corpse to be put on display.
True enough, but I’m hopeful for an energy-abundant future where we figure out how to make solar, wind, nuclear, and batteries cheaply and at scale. Imagine what we could do if energy efficiency didn’t trade off against carbon output. We wouldn’t have to replace all our appliances with something slightly more efficient (and less maintainable) every so many years. And the resources it takes to do that could be redirected elsewhere.

There are plenty of jobs where work is ticket based and so long as you're maintaining your work queue and communicating well, it doesn't matter.

The problem is that many creative jobs like software engineering (and yes, even the scutwork of software is still a creative endeavor) require more brain power on context than you can comfortably do as a single person.

And I say this as a SRE Consultant who explicitly has built my business on having multiple jobs. I have to reject work because it would overflow my ability to juggle and the fairly limited amount of things I currently know really well.

I couldn't disagree more with the premise of this post. I've never been more productive at the terminal in 30 years. The thrust of your complaints appear to be you can't do company IM easily at terminal, but given most employees will want strong audio/video conferencing features too this is perhaps not all that surprising. We have whole classes of new CLI tools that didn't even exist 20 years ago today, allowing us to trivially launch complex application stacks in a few lines.

I think the effect of javascript's wide deployment on terminal tooling is very marginal at best too.

“Every organ is the most complicated organ”.

No, that’s blatantly untrue. The liver is one of the simpler ones as it’s all single cells, and the brain is definitely the most complex. I’ve never heard anyone say they are equally complex.

That doesn’t mean we understand everything about the liver, but we are hell of a lot closer than the brain.
This mythical programmer must exist somewhere, but in my experience most people I see & have worked with seem to have underinvested in tooling — not because the estimated value calculation came up short, but mainly because lack of clarity about the possibilities scares people away from exploring. This includes not understanding how/why the tool works, and the biases it introduces. I will also include cognitive tooling I.e. people trying to not actually understand the underlying concepts they’re using / building on.

For whatever its worth...

I wrote a fairly technical book on a niche engineering subject which I published exclusively on Amazon. (My company covered the expenses and set up an ISBN, etc.) In its first month, it sold about 200 copies, was the #1 book in all 3 of its categories, got an orange "best seller" tag, and had an overall Amazon rank of roughly 15,000. Since then, it has sold anywhere from 5-30 copies per month, it is ranked ~15-40 in its categories, and its overall sales rank is anywhere from 200k to 1.3M. (The Kindle ranking is usually closer to 400k, whereas the print ranking is closer to 700k-1M, despite the fact that our sales ratio is at least 3:1 in favor of print.)

It always surprises me to see professional fiction authors with books ranked >1M on Amazon, as that implies that they're selling single-digit copies per month.

As an aside, I know that there are some technical books -- usually published by Elsevier or Springer -- that have never sold _any_ copies on Amazon. I believe that they're marketed almost exclusively to University libraries. I really don't understand their business model, though, nor the incentives for their authors and editorial staff.

I really don’t think this is the thing that puts people off.

I think the main factor is financial cost. psychiatry is extremely expensive, and often hard to get hold of. another large part is the representation of psychiatry in films, where it’s often depicted as mimsy-whimsy dream interpretation with freudian psychobabble. thirdly I think some people assume that there is only so much people can do with words, and/or are afraid of medicine that influences the brain

I'm also curious what you mean by "trade is not zero sum" when definitionally, trades are zero sum.

Definitionally, trading doesn't create things on its own (though I do recognize your D-K mind is probably trying to make an irrelevant and inappropriate point about comparative advantage or personal utility).

The point that you're too stubborn to see is that one can trade goods/services (GDP) for debt/assets (Not GDP), and that is why imports can cause GDP to go down without economic activity going down, which I think is a fair read of the comment that started this whole dumb thing. You seem to have some reason to not want to understand that, even though I've tried very hard to gently inform you of that fact.

Do you not think one of the most important features of the US economy is its ability to form capital/assets? Because if so, I bet you are German.
