I've come across carcasses like that that haven't been spoiled before, in Georgia, New York, Puebla Mexico. Distension is a pretty early part of the process before putrefaction.
When I was in Peru coca tea was available everywhere for literally pennies. It is legal in most of South America. It doesn't even get you high it just sort of helps with elevation sickness.

This seems to upset US politicians from time to time and cause diplomatic spats, they were adamant against the sale of it despite it being traditional in that part of the world. Punitive about it.

Now it is legal in Canada and not a peep. Tres Bizarre.
The main environmental groups do seem to be all consumed with climate change issues. You do not any other kind of reporting in the press. And environmental activist have always driven change through the media, so it is a good metric to see where their focus is. Without raising consciousness about issues, little gets done. They don't even talk about recycling anymore.

There is. Just not with your rabbit alone. The equilibrium evolves at the ecosystem level. In the wilderness it's predators.

For your case, you are "dealing" with the rabbit infestation, therefore YOU are the one that's going to be applying pressure. YOU are part of the system.
If your parents were narcissistic with you since you were little, you likely suffered from childhood emotional neglect.

I am reading an excellent book on this topic called "Running on Empty: Overcome your Childhood Emotional Neglect " by Jonnice Webb.

To determine if you might be suffering from it, an excerpt from the book:

“Emotional Neglect Questionnaire

Do You:

1. Sometimes feel like you don’t belong when with your family or friends

2. Pride yourself on not relying upon others

3. Have difficulty asking for help

4. Have friends or family who complain that you are aloof or distant

5. Feel you have not met your potential in life

6. Often just want to be left alone

7. Secretly feel that you may be a fraud

8. Tend to feel uncomfortable in social situations

9. Often feel disappointed with, or angry at, yourself

10. Judge yourself more harshly than you judge others

11. Compare yourself to others and often find yourself sadly lacking

12. Find it easier to love animals than people

13. Often feel irritable or unhappy for no apparent reason

14. Have trouble knowing what you’re feeling

15. Have trouble identifying your strengths and weaknesses

16. Sometimes feel like you’re on the outside looking in

17. Believe you’re one of those people who could easily live as a hermit

18. Have trouble calming yourself

19. Feel there’s something holding you back from being present in the moment

20. At times feel empty inside

21. Secretly feel there’s something wrong with you

22. Struggle with self-discipline

Look back over your circled (YES) answers. These answers give you a window into the areas in which you may have experienced Emotional Neglect as a child.”
If you were running Apache fine, I think Linux in the late 90s was the work horse of web servers. That might have been the one thing that just worked. I was using it as a workstation and for everything else. Try getting your window manager to work with your Xserver and graphics card. Upgrade a package that needs a newer packlage, that needs another package that no one has built yet, so now you need to custom compile the library, but if it replaces the existing library it breaks something else that relies on the older library.

That's inbetween figuring out how to get things to compile and the dependencies of dependencies, etc.

I got Linux to work, but it was also a love hate relationship, when I got it working, it worked and worked for months, but I had almost a PTSD reaction when it was time to upgrade anything, I knew what was coming and I was afraid.
I don't see any fake generated rage, or, in fact, any of the other sins you're accusing the article of. He said they weren't AI, now he's admitting they are. The points you're bringing up don't seem to refute this at all, and I am a little baffled by the intense negativity of your take on this.
I've been in countries where you can pick up opiate-laced cough syrup without a prescription. It was nice when you got a ridiculous cough and didn't want to (wait for) get an appointment just to get a cough syrup you knew you obviously needed.

> Roughly, if you have much more people than guns, these people, however brave, don't have any more guns to man, and making them fight with spears is pointless.

Russia has thrown tons of ill-equipped troops at a more technologically advanced Ukraine. Clearly, it isn't pointess. Infantrymen storm machine gun positions quite often. Technologically they're at a disadvantage. But the hill still needs taken. That isnt' "pointless."

> A small group with an advanced coercion tech subduing a larger group that lack it is just a very common scenario, sadly. Modern technology though becomes more and more affordable and scalable, potentially empowering the oppressed: say, off-the-shelf "big toy" drones made some difference in the Ukraine war.

As that technology becomes more scalable and affordable, large nations are able to adopt it at a larger scale. The higher your population, the more potential users of that technology. Again, the point is clear: technology + small population, in general, loses to technology + large population. The point the article made is flawed. You still need manpower. Look at Iraq, Afghanistan. Billions in tech. Failures.
It's not really an exception so much an application of the "reasonable" part, right? You don't have a right against search and seizure, just unreasonable searches and seizures. The existence of a warrant makes a search definitely reasonable, but there are contexts where a search can be reasonable without one.
It's feeling, as a non-PhD but still pushes myself, that emotional intelligence is what is needed to help the OP process their Toxic Family (narcissist parent), and loss of recent support, because the OP talks dismissively about the support they're receiving from their therapist in terms one might describe a Toxic Family.

I wonder if the OP is framing their world in their child-mindset.

And the "push hard to PhD" behavior is an indication of a split. A focus on intellectual. Which suggests under-attending to emotional awareness.

So, "do something that is right for you" eventually leads to thinking about what is right, which leads one necessarily to Feel what is right. Keyword is to Feel. Being aware of feelings. Boom.

Keep going to therapy, OP, and engage - it's scary and worthwhile.
This game is a all-time classic.

It's sheer popularity even after all these years is what cements it as one of the best games of all time.

There's a reason why some games, like Morrowind, are still being played more than 20 years after their release.
Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.

The secretary of transportation really did initially respond to this incident, that was getting "a lot of attention" with, exact quote:

"Look, rail safety is something that has evolved a lot over the years, but there's clearly more that needs to be done because while this horrible situation has gotten a particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing,"

Look it up from any source that pleases you, this is an unedited clip. I searched for "pete buttigieg ohio train" on youtube and that was the top result. I recall seeing it about a week ago and somewhat not being able to believe it myself at the time. Alas.

I hope calling "deep fake" on things that are a bummer won't become a thing.
It was a con. Everyone rounded their prices upward. Some of the price-rises weren't simply rounding, either.
> Your framing this as something more than it is is abhorrent.

Framing marriage as something more than "a societal complication of a relationship" is abhorrent? Do you think maybe that's a little harsh?

Alcohol and marijuana particularly inhibit REM sleep and dreaming
So people who say "I couldn't fall asleep" are misleading? What they should have said is "I didn't want to fall asleep", is that what you mean? To me that seems to be very different from how most people think and reason about this. To most people "I" are the parts they control, the rest they talk about as if it was something else.
Fair enough, so I suppose at some point the Aral basin sank below the waterline and filled from the Paratethys or what remained of it. Those waterline marks must still only pertain to a particular period of time.
At least to me, it seemed most intuitive to not have a global server environment and always copy the environment when starting a new session not just on server start and have the existing behavior when attaching to a session.
What I would like to hear from our government is a clear plan backed by dozens of scientists along the lines of:

- soil testing procedures for the next X years where the test-results will be published publicly with no redactions,

- downstream water tests to the same effect for whichever news sets of chemicals are necessary (water tests usually only test for 8-10 chemicals) for the next X years.

- Cancer rate statistics for the next X years (many of these cancers take over a decade to show), perhaps people in the area should get free screenings

- full post-moterm on procedure that addresses all the concerns around skipped safety checks

- A publicly available "Whistle-blowing channel" for any rail workers asked to skip safety checks where they can report their employer anonymously and earn rewards up to $1,000,000 for deliberately violating safety rules (a recording/video of a manager doing so would be conclusive proof).
Vacation, No Internet, even for 2 weeks, no phone, the longer the better. Somewhere where activity is easy i.e.: the seaside.

Environmental activists have always worked in partner with the media. Raising awareness about issues is how things get done. So, media coverage is a good metric to use for overall focus. When is the last time you heard of an environmental group addressing anything other than climate change? Like regular soot pollution or recycling? Hardly anything gets recycled.
I see. Makes sense.

And for me it's sad for me to see a person, the OP, being / complaining of overwhelmed by the tall wave of their goals competing with their significant emotional trauma .. their psyche is pretty unhappy.
Marrying "a good person" can also mitigate all those concerns you have. If two "good people" co-habitate then neither one will just leave after 20 years. Overall, advice about "good people" isn't really actionable.

I used to have xclip integration in procal that would copy any selected text into the input field for just this purpose. However I removed it because it wasn't particularly useful and got in the way of "normal calculating" (apparently I select text quite frequently). Let me know if you think of a usage pattern that would make sense!

Right, but it seems like the eyes can plug straight to the unconscious parts of the brain more easily that a Rube Goldberg connection via messages to the heart and back again. Like, whatever connection there is from the eyes to the heart is going to go via the spinal cord anyway. It could stop off and tell the brainstem on the way down.
Yeah I quit a few years ago and before quitting I very rarely had dreams. Now I have at least one dream every night. Also convinced a few people to quit and they reported the same thing.
That’s an outright abusive misreading of what I’ve said.
£50 notes were popular for criminal transactions, and also they were widely forged; I don't know whether that's still the case, but I'm very reluctant to accept a £50 note. If a shopkeeper checks it and decides it's a forgery, they have to take it off me for nothing, and I'm down fifty nicker.

I made the decision to not allow things to bring me down. I invested in new hobbies to push back the pain and in turn that eventually led me into getting a decent job. I focused on the things I could focus on - myself, my work, my friends, and I kept trying to expand my social circles.

Hi friend. This mirrors my experience closely over the last three months. Top grad school, close to finishing with a job lined up. She got a job far away after struggling for 6 months to get one. Since then I’ve been broken. No passion for grad school, or anything anymore. I quit therapy since it was so unproductive and expensive.

Though I’m probably not the best person to get advice from, here’s what has helped me.

First of all exercise. I’d suggest swimming. I picked up running after several years of not doing it and hurt myself pretty badly since I’m no longer the young person I once was.

The second thing that I am finding helpful is bumble. I’m in no way ready to have a relationship but the lack of confidence I had after losing my life partner was/is so profound. By going to drinks with people I’m able to feel desired again. It feels great to feel wanted again after being dumped by the person who knew me the best. Try to not compare people you see to her, it’s going to be impossible though. Be in the moment as much as possible. Do one date a week. This isn’t about being social or whatever, it’s about prioritizing your mental health. Go on dates with people you’d never consider talking normally (I’m a nerd). For me, seeing finance people, actors, etc in places that I’d never normally go to like a karaoke bar has been the best exercise to forgetting I’ve come up with.

So far that’s it. My goal is to develop as a person, by finding new hobbies and getting passionate about something again. I’m afraid that I will have to wait until after graduation.
All the tut-tutting makes searching harder for other users too! You end up with relevant and active looking threads that are actually just regulars dunking on the poster for not searching.
"Mad, bad, and dangerous to know" - by all accounts including this one, as accurate a description of Dick as of Lord Byron.

I've had lovers like that, and for all that they're immensely exciting and compelling personalities especially at first, it ends up being every bit as intense a relief to be done with them in the end, because of all the trouble they can't or won't help bringing in train. I think the only true way to know you have the respect of such a man is when you tell him he's out of your life for good, and he listens.

Don't get me wrong - I do love a good Dick! The man wrote beautifully. But I'm just as glad not to have known him in person.

How do they drive up rent or home prices if they dump houses back on the market then? If neither supply nor demand changed as a result, why would the price change?

Also, why does it happen with houses (that provide crappy average returns because they don't capture the effects of productivity growth i.e. do not create real rent, they are more like crypto), not with stocks?
> It is not trivial to transfer technology, especially on a large scale and in warfare conditions.

Sure it is. There are countless examples of this throughout history. We're doing this transfer of technology RIGHT NOW en masse to Ukraine.

> The Russians probably have all the necessary know-how to create something like HIMARS. But they cannot design and manufacture such a weapon quickly enough, much less deploy it.

Not sure how this is relevant at all. Logistics is a different problem. In any case, the russians still control massive regions of Ukraine. While their overextension is a failure, the war is a long way from over, and Russia has always historically been able to grind opponents down.

> The same probably applied to the Nazis and the atomic bomb. Their physics was up to par, but their entire industrial complex wasn't.

Of course - late in the war their cities were being firebombed, factories under constant bombing raids. This isn't a technological problem. The US was able to build without any threat whatsoever, thus, irrelevant to our debate here.
You didn’t mention this possible aspect of hitting bottom. I’m reading this possibility because it is part of my own history, and so many things are in common, toxic family, overachiever, living by default, girlfriend dumping me. It may not even apply to your situation but if does, this could be huge.

That thing is addiction. If you suffer from addiction and aren’t willing to do something about it, then the reality is, even if you can’t see it yet, the reality is you haven’t hit bottom yet. And by addiction I mean doing anything in a self-destructive way. Drugs, alcohol, sex, spending, gambling, emotional outbursts, even good ole pot, anything for which there is a *A 12 step organization for.

Until addiction is arrested, the downward spiral continues.

If this does not apply, please disregard.
Same could be said for the FDA and CDC.
> Where are all the environmental activists?

I see this trope on most conservative news outlets and it's honestly outrageous.

The answer is simple: the environmental activists have always been there, but not a lot of people listened, a lot of people actually mocked them, not a lot of news outlets told their story and finally, not enough money went into PACs to actually make a difference. It is indeed sickening. Maybe in the future, we won't be voting for freedom loving regulation hating corrupt morons.

I've never seen the reason people are so upright about gene editing humans.
You seem to be arguing that marriage is a dumb legal thing, ergo relationships are not important. Even if the premise is true, your conclusion is unrelated.

With empathy to the OP, this sentence
> Plus if someone is bailing on you when you’re finishing a degree they definitely weren’t going to be there for you in actually troubling times - like an illness or your house burning down

Is also kind of fucked up. There's no particular reason to suggest their partner left because they were unwilling to support a partner through a tough time. Maybe it is the case. But that's a very aggressive assumption that implicitly strips the lost partner of any individual autonomy.
Or obliterate them all, just in case?
I wonder, if we really thought about it, what fraction of conspiracy theories are at least partly true? Maybe 2%? 5%? If this were an option I would buy it. Not because it’s likely to be true but it’s a hell of a lot more likely than 0%.

> or planning hypothetical conversations with other people

It's not that, but it's related to that. It is done in the same manner, with you imagining what the other person would say.

Have you heard of the "rubber duck" method of debugging? The idea is that you put a little rubber duck on your desk and whenever you get stumped by a problem, you explain the problem to the duck and, as you put the problem into words, your brain figures out the answer.

Well it turns out that it works for many tricky problems besides programming, you don't really need the duck, you don't actually have to use your mouth, and you can do it entirely in your own head, having the exchange with an imagined "reasonable person" (who is just another aspect of yourself consciously playing the role.) The key insight is that language is a tool for thinking, expressing problems in language can help your brain reason them out. Once you realize this, you should be able to consciously choose to have conversations with yourself as a tool for figuring problems out.

> That seems crazy to me, because who does the other voice belong to?

Me, obviously. The process is that of authoring a dialogue. If you write a short fictional story about you explaining your problems to a wise sage who asks lots of questions and then tries to come up with a reasonable answer, who is the sage? It's your creation as an author. Now do this process without the pen, just in your head. Who is the sage? The sage is still your creation, it's still an aspect of you, slightly divorced from your ego because you're deliberately playing a roll when you imagine what such a sage would say about your situation. But it's obviously still you, it's not a foreign voice in your head disconnected from your conscious will. It's not schizophrenia, it's just a process of 'talking' problems out to figure them out.

Ask HN: Is anyone working on AGI on the side?
I was wondering if anyone was working on AGI (artificial general intelligence) on the side and what approaches people are taking.

I know there a few companies working on this. Are there any lone souls also trying to crack this nut?
Why would they willing cause a housing crisis? All that will do is flood the market with cheap inventory that will be quickly snapped up by everyone waiting on the sidelines for the next 2008 so they can get rich in the next boom cycle of real estate investing. Then prices will start rising and BlackRock will find itself trying to buy back inventory again or get left out.

If houses get very cheap again I know for sure I’ll snatch up a property or two.
