Given what we know demographically about middle age white males (that they're relatively richer, more powerful e.t.c. than their peers) you can make some useful inferences about what doesn't work to decrease suicide risk.

While there are probably many reasons for this a personal theory of mine (without any firm backing) is that Borderline Personality disorder is underdiagnosed in males.

People with BPD are at a significantly higher risk of suicide, but very effective treatments exist namely dialectical behavioural therapy: a collection of emotional management and mindfulness exercises designed by a psychologists with BPD. The diagnostic criteria for BPD however, are heavily weighed towards symptoms associated with female socialisation. Even the treatment materials assume a female patient, which while not making them less effective is probably a hard sell to males in a sexist society.

A fairly in depth article, through I do find a major issue that recurs is that they use the same definition of aggression and violence for both men and women, and then use that to eliminate or minimize the existence of female aggression.

Like: "We tamed ourselves by weeding out bullies and domineering males throughout our evolutionary history. Humans organized egalitarian societies, and any male that violated this too much was subsequently the victim of a targeted killing."

Women competing with with other women using dominance behavior like bullying is a very common behavior, and I doubt there is a parent with a teenage daughter or teacher who has not observed this. We can also see this in apes, with female to female dominance behavior being one if not the biggest causes of death for female baboons. To continue with animal observations, male baboons have a different form of dominance behavior, and their behavior also result in dead baboons. Female aggression is about depriving the lower ranked females of food, water, sleep and grooming (together with some amount of bites and scratches), while male aggression is primarily about major injuries sustained during fights. If we define the latter as the single definition of aggression and dominance then the other form becomes invisible to us.

Going down further in the article, they define power as access to and control of resources. Not access to and control of people. This in order to say that women don’t have a strong craving for power because "obtaining power entails the risk of being disliked, and, unlike status, power has few social payoffs". It uses an exclusively male definition for power.

Here (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237101081_Female_Do...') is a study done on dominance behavior in female vs male hierarchies. It basically fully invalidates most of this article's claims on male vs female behavior in terms of dominance. It does not seem to use a male-centric definition of dominance.

I am not all against this article. It is a fairly in-depth description of the topic and an interesting read. I would however advise to consider some of the terminology and definitions to be a bit limited, and occasionally leading the reader into misconceptions by trying to use a single definition for both men and women.
I updated it! Thank you!

Same.

I'm going to sound like an old-man-yelling-at-cloud, but the content is, well, just mindless drivel. There's a near-endless amount of informative content on youtube, but no, instead kids are drawn like a magnet to this kind of stuff. Not saying kids must spend all their screen time on Khan Academy or serious documentaries, but watching this drivel for hours on end can't be healthy for a developing brain either.

I have gotten a couple of Orange Pi 5Bs recently. For a 8GB 4B's price, I have 16 GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, 8 cores (4 Low Performance + 4 High Performance), a video encoder works on tons of formats, AI accelerator for image recognition tasks, MIMO WIFI 6 and BT 5.

Feels like a huge bargain, considering I need the video encoders and high network speed in the first place.
In every group setting there is an unspoken ranking. When everyone know their rank its stable, but if someone gain rank or fall in rank the rank has to be settled. Also the group work to maintain the rank. It can be cheated of course, like in the military you have artificial ranking, and also in corporate settings its artificial.
Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the right of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

Since the models are not suppressed to answer certain questions and indeed have been demonstrated to be biased toward one end of the political spectrum, and if you treat the model’s output as a knowledge graph, as proposed by John Schulman, one of the cofounders of OpenAI, then yes, I would say the suppression of freedom of speech is a valid argument to make. Otherwise why would there be a set of “uncensored” models that exist in the open source world?

I would suggest you read about these models and think about the implications. Perhaps that’ll lead to you to reconsider your stance

> MrBeast is exactly the media phenomenon a broken system would come up with in some 80s cyberpunk movie, as a bandaid to give people the illusion of hope: the 'happy hour' show in a boring dystopia.

Nicely put. Some people claim that MrBeast's actions are better than nothing, but the money he's using are not growing on trees.

The same money could have been used to fund a fair health system, where people receive treatments based on their needs without their life becoming an exhibit for youtube.

It's more privilege in the sense of having the luxury to take risks as opposed to the desperation of seeking a better life.

The second guys life is already kind of "blown up", while the author is more like entitled boredom.
But then he'd have no money to give away. I don't see how it's this difficult to understand. Either you have Mr Beast as we do now - curing blindness and deafness, giving people houses and cars, raising millions for tangible, proven reforestation and sea cleanup efforts - or we don't have Mr Beast at all.

I also find his videos uncomfortable to watch for many of the same reasons stated here, but I don't find them harmful, and I can appreciate how he's helped these people.

Wise words :) However ... 'I won’t be telling my kids to “follow your dream”'. .. well, they'll probably do what they wanna do anyway, won't they? ;) My advice to our kids would be, follow your dreams, but be pragmatic, don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you want, to use random examples, to be a musician or something without reliable income, or spend a lot of time travelling for fun, then you're gonna have to learn how to live on little, e:g learn cheap healthy cooking skills, in extreme situation you might have to live in an old van or tent some of the time. And/or maybe develop some specialist work skill that isn't your ideal profession but brings in money quick when you need it. Alternatively, base your life around a career that pays enough to get by, while allowing free time to follow your dreams maybe by working part-time or something. I know someone who works as a teaching assistant in schools whilst doing lead roles in good quality amateur shows. She seems very happy, presumably happier than if she was professional actress. I guess my argument is , its not either/or, its a trade-off.... BTW we are SO lucky in tech. We can have it all, decent paid job that isn't crazy hours. Take time out to go travelling, come back and as long as you got the skillset you'll get hired again. Some other professions have even more freedom... anything medical, always in need. Nurses can call the shots completely.. (in terms of choosing hours, shifts, career breaks to go be in a show, protect a rainforest by occupying it or something)
You can preserve connections after leaving a place or changing a relationship. Most people are capable of this. It sounds like the author was as well, since he mentions having an amicable conversation with his ex-wife after his divorce.

Social alienation is very bad, but is not severe trauma. Severe trauma would be something like being held in solitary confinement for months.

"But your quoted line suggests they got no help from the military not that they weren't there."

Seriously? "there was almost no response, no (Russian) military." suggests you that Russian military was there? It seems, English is not your native language either.

"There is no promise there"

That's why I didn't use that word. Azov's 'suggestion' to attack border towns like Chechens did is "a basis in reality" unless you think that NYTimes journalist invented this.

I am not so sure about that.

In India, the eldest son is also expected to take care of their parents through their old age, and there fore inherits the family house. After watching a good dozen families take care of aging parents, I can say with confidence, that inheritance is an insufficient payment for the human cost of being a carer to your in-laws for 40+ years. I know quite a lot of family feuds that have broken up in the last decade, where the brother finds it hypocritical that the sister never contributed to taking care of the parents but showed up at their death's door for inheritance.

Remember, divorce is non-existent in India. So, any money paid to the the son-in-law or the daughter, can be considered to be going to the same joint account. Again, Dowry is terrible, and fortunately my region does not practice it. But even in cases where it does exist, the monetary exchange is surprisingly even when all the responsibilities are tallied up.

Social systems around the world develop in their own context. Taking them out of that context often leads to head scratchers and blatantly incorrect conclusion.
Nail on the head.

The web is a swamp of hot garbage, in large part thanks to Google SEO incentives.

If Google hadn't poisoned the well, and if searching pulled up good content instead of ads designed to look like search results, and search results that link to web pages that take 5 screenfuls to convey one sentence of information, they wouldn't be looking down the barrel at an existential threat.

With the radial velocity method they used, anytime - it's a telescope with a spectrometer that only relies on the planets wobbling the stars around a bit to produce a doppler shift.

With the transit method (observing the planet passing in front of the host star(s) by seeing a temporary reduction in light: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_detecting_exoplanet...), apparently yes, but not often and it is unclear when. The paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.10794.pdf) states:

> A visual inspection of TESS lightcurves shows no transit of TOI-1338/BEBOP-1c, however, thanks to orbital circulation, transits are expected to occur in due time. Circumbinary orbits exhibit nodal precession. This changes the orientation of a circumbinary planet’s orbital plane with respect to both the binary and the observer. This makes a planet change from a transiting to a non-transiting configuration (15, 30) as has been seen in a few systems (31, 32). Using an analytic criterion (33,34), we find that TOI-1338/BEBOP-1c is guaranteed to eventually transit mainly because the binary is so well-aligned with our line of sight (Ibin = 89.658◦) combined with the rather large size of the primary star (RA = 1.299R⊙). Whilst TOI-1338/BEBOP-1c will eventually transit, we are unable to predict when and how frequently. Its precession period is of order 119 years, during which time there will be two periods of transitability of a duration depending on TOI-1338/BEBOP-1c’s orbital inclination.

I listened to the same interview and can recommend it too. The key to understand him is how he views what he does as hacking: mastering all aspects of YouTube, every detail that attracts views.

Instead of getting hung up on what is or isn't altruism...

It's interesting how people gets stuck in that point. They want him to suffer in order to qualify for saint status. Otherwise, doing good is meaningless. On the contrary, I find very nice his happy, positive, laid back persona.

I wonder what people criticizing him thinks of well-known NGOs.

> changing digits, but it was left in the standard and in many implementations.

The format has a lossless mode that would have saved Xerox a lot of trouble, of course it was just that mode that was used to hack the iPhones.

Also for many texts you don't need every digit to be correct, hell any single typo, smudge or bad font can fuck you over if that is the case, no need for a Xerox. Ideally your numbers either include a checksum or have some other redundancy, like requiring that they are written out as words.
> Left to your own devices, with no task demanding your immediate concentration, you tend to spend a good deal of time thinking about other people—your judgments of them; their evaluations of you.

This might be true for the author but is very presumptuous imo.

I spend approximately no time per day judging others or interrogating my social status. I of course think about other people, but there are many ways to think about others. There are many ways to think about yourself.

I guess it's not surprising the author of a piece on status has a highly status alined thought process, but it's not by a longshot the default mode for everyone.

> But if you say you want to be promoted because you want respect, that’s often regarded as an appropriate desire.

I would think the same in each case. If someone doesn't think they have respect because of their job title, or they think they have it for the inverse, I feel bad for them. If I meet you on a monday and you're an x, and tuesday you're an x+1, in my eyes you're the same person. Similarly if I meet people for the first time. I honestly don't think I'm being particularly contrarian on this. I know idiot ceos, intelligent homeless people, and some kind of everyone in between. This whole take strikes me as naive to the nature of people.

Even the author of some other quoted book has weird priors I completely disagree with:

> for many of us this price is simply too high; we’d rather be low on the totem pole than be perceived as arrogant and domineering

If you're arrogant and domineering _you are low on the totem pole_. It's really interesting to see that this author is putting someone "high" on the totem pole because of some singular status markers like job title / situational power regardless of their behaviour. It says a lot.

It's not that I don't think status is real. I just don't believe it can be gained by maxmimising any one or even some multiple of typical status markers.

Idk. I just find this surreal.

Awesome, thanks for answering! And yes, question one was also partly motivated by gaming :) I understand it doesn't ship with controllers, but I was wondering if the cameras/depth sensors/software are good enough to recognize and track for example a ping pong paddle.

Apart from that, I really hope Apple will work with more game engines in the future. I rented an HTC Vive Pro 2 last year just to play through Half Life Alyx and everything about this experience was so, so good (especially Jeff). Would be incredible if it ran on the Vision Pro eventually but I guess Source 2 is probably not on the engine list :)

One last question I actually had if you don't mind. How do you think gestures will evolve once the headset releases? I understand there are a few basic gestures defined already, like clicking, dragging, zooming, but what about cmd + Z or deleting something. I'm sure eventually people will expect the same gestures for those actions across apps but I didn't see any mention on them so far. Any thoughts on how those might emerge?

My wife on the other hand decided to stay with me for the trip, and she still has emotional ups and downs with regarding of leaving her career behind, even if she’s working on getting her career back, she’s starting from zero.

I think you're both right in the sense that, USA is more forgiving of career "mistakes" and people get many chances to "make it big" financially , while Europe is a little more conservative about career history but has better safety net which also gives people chances to re-invent themselves.
