Treating Pathological Narcissism with Transference-Focused Psychotherapy
Sharing this book because it is particularly helpful to understanding tech leaders and the political and societal climate today.

Narcissism as it is used can mean a personality trait that has a spectrum OR it can mean a distinct subtype of personality disorder that is not a spectrum, but refers to the existence of a grandiose self concept and associated subjective experience of the individual. This is not widely understood.

It is also not well understood that Narcissism (of the disorder kind) is reality-distorting: it is objectively a deficit in the individuals ability to perceive things correctly and therefore a deficit in self functioning and goal achievement.

The therapy technique described in the book is not widely taught or available, but is the most complete and effective form of treatment for personality disorders currently known.
As far as I can tell all these groups never shut up and it colors their entire life. Far left and far right is just a circle, the join at the same extreme.

What we need is a center. Just stuff that makes sense. The problem is our "sense" has been under attack we've basically collectively lost it.
Seems to mostly just be extinguish in this case, unfortunately.
Well, just like any job-region, workers have to be willing to move there. WFH would eliminate this problem, but companies seem willing to restrict their hiring reach. Guess they have more candidates than they need.
The content is insubstantial, the hustle is a pox on the industry, and the writing style is very effective at communicating this.

Definitely going on my wall of shame.
How do you legislate "ideological neutrality" into an agency? There's nothing left-wing about 18F's mission.

If Republicans are unhappy about how agencies use rulemaking power, they have had many opportunities over the past few decades to pass bills more clearly defining the powers of those agencies.
They didn’t bother to cut spending to pay for the last two fiscally-disastrous rounds of big Republican tax cuts. Why do it this time?

No, they’re just trying to wreck the government.

They were pretty open about it during the election.

Hi, Appium project creator here. I'm working on something new (complementary to Appium) to address Appium set-up and other issues. If you ever wanted to chat, would love to hear more.

> this is a cope my friend. adapt or die.

Adapt to? I'm not saying to not use AI but whether you use AI, do it manually or outsource it it's never 5 minutes. It's about being responsible. Double check what happens. Review it.
I don't think so. Note that the original filters were coded in vanilla c by the original owner of the old app.
No, you can explain it without actual malice. All it takes is Musk having no clue who these people actually are, and not taking the time to find out, because he's got a whole government to go through, so he can't take the time to actually look at any department.

But it isn't easy to tell the difference between that kind of no-time-to-check recklessness and actual malice, at least in any one instance. (You might be able to tell statistically, at the level of the whole government. Not with any one department, though.)

But it's just as destructive as actual malice, so maybe it doesn't matter whether it's malice or not.
The tweet the GP linked – https://x.com/lukerosiak/status/1885523747425399247 – mentioned they wrote a Slack bot to lecture people about using inclusive language.

I don't think that is average for US tech workers. I don't believe the vast majority of US tech firms have such a thing.

I wouldn't call that "far left" myself – although "far left" as used by American conservatives is a pejorative colloquialism whose meaning has shifted from its traditional definition (Trotskyists, Stalinists, Maoists, etc). Not slang I'd use myself but I can understand it.

P.S. If you don't trust a tweet from a right-leaning journalist, here's a page from their own GitHub repo about their bot: https://github.com/18F/charlie/blob/main/InclusionBot.md
Taiwan is not in China, period. Yes, a good portion of its population arrived there from China 70 years ago (and others hundreds of years previously). It _used_ to be part of China over 130 years ago, but it's no more in China today than the Alsace is in Germany or the South Tyrol is in Austria.

From afar he seems to be intent on Making America Great for Billionaires at the expense of any country less powerful than the US.

In my experience, wetlands are drained to destroy natural ecosystems so that real estate developers can pave over the land for their own personal gain. Makes a perfect metaphor for the current situation.

But alas, the propagandists have been too effective at capturing that term to mean destroying the “deep state” (whatever that means at any given moment).
Your solution is to regulate software instead of calling out bad actors?

What a dystopian future, curl without a permit?

Why are you blaming the rank and file employees. The buck stops with the employer. If anything fine the companies
Could be half the internet is completely broken?
> It is really really concerning to me how seemingly thoughtless these cuts are to the actual stated goals.

That's because the actual goals are not the stated goals; the whole thing is part of a well-documented plan to destroy the federal civil service and much of the government so it can be rebuilt as a partisan patronage operation.
Your growth rate of 560k to 627k is 11.9% (r - the rate of return on capital). This outpaces wage growth - let's assume generous non-inflation corrected 5 % (g - a proxy for the growth rate of the economy)

Your assets after 50 years: 267x
Your wages after 50 years: 11.4x
Your new ratio of assets to wages: 23.4

This calc works with any number where r > g (source: capital in the 21st century by piketty). The end result of asset growth outpacing wages is complete divergence and the end game of Monopoly where 1 guy owns everything. Usually by then the system has cracked and the society has burned down.
> There’s no “checks and balances” within the executive branch.

The check and balance within every branch is the law, one which many state AG and court officials believe or have ruled is being violated.

The law is quite literally a limit on arbitrary uses of power. It is a check on concentrated power, and balances competing interests.

> Who did it?

Oligarchs.

H1B visa/undocumented labor are an anti labor power policy. Not only does it increase the supply of the workforce suppressing wages, but it gives companies coercive power over foreign laborers, preventing them from ever going on strike or asking for rights. Worse, when things start going poorly, oligarchs blame these people who just wanted a better life and then use the oligarchy controlled media to deflect people's rage away from the people hoarding wealth and power onto someone weaker than them, which gives them a sense of agency.
Really dig that clicking the dates "tears" it off and downloads an event.
They generally don't have to be as paranoid about people trying to kill them, for one - sure, some wacko might jump a fence once in a while, but any halfway decent security arrangement takes care of that.

And no one has to worry that some other billionaire is going to send an army to conquer his or her estate and holdings by force of arms, slaughtering all the employees and destroying the inventory.

They don't have to pack the basements with food for the winter. Their fleets of cars and other ridiculous collections can be safely stored away from the environment and peasants (meaning anyone poor, like millionaires).

Governments make rules to favor them and do the job of selling it to the masses. They don't have to do their own PR. In fact, the media will do the PR for them and it won't cost them anything, for the most part.

They can bury their pecadillos on private islands, secure in the knowledge that, even if word gets out, word won't get out, for reasons. And besides, no one will really care, because governments and media will magically turn it from horrible scandal to mild eccentricity.

And if they don't like the government, well, now, they can just buy one.

No idea what happens if they try to return it, though.
fuck it, just donated 500 (there goes my drinking money for the rest month! probably helped I am drunk right now)

My point is that your wonderful level of compassion and empathy wasn't heard by the people who voted for Trump. They only heard the first part of the message, of their complicity in evil, and culpability in profiting from the suffering inflicted by evil.

What i'm trying to argue for, is a softening of future messaging, that includes your warmth.
Maybe, maybe not. They may also conclude Trump is unhinged and can flip on a dime, and it would be risky to predict his response.
In fact, remote work is very likely a better solution than increased building... Mass transit is also a solution, and there are certainly others.

Except that we are not really applying ourselves into either, are we? One would naively think we need to work on all viable ones, but of course, society does the exact opposite.
> Acceleration? Anything with 6s or faster 0-60 is plenty fast unless you're just measuring dick size.

"Fun", is my reasoning, the same reason (I assume) why most people buy fast cars.

> Also these vehicles support V2L, charge faster

V2L doesn't interest me. My understanding is in North America charging is an issue, but in Australia mine charges at 250KW.

> Don't get me wrong - Tesla has some amazing tech, but they blew their lead in the past few years on that useless Cybertruck instead of iterating their most popular models.

Completely agree RE the cybetruvk - a small "model 2" would be a market changer, cybertruck is weird Elon wank. But every other electric I've driven so far I find inferior, I'm not sure they've lost their lead yet.
I am not the user. What I honestly believe is right may not work out the way I expect despite my best efforts as an expert.

Elections are run by states, not the federal government. “They” will not be able to control them in this way.
No, there is no clear conflict of interest. You have no idea who exactly is making what decision or why. Stay consistent. Don’t back off your threshold for evidence now.
Right because countries with smaller populations can't beat larger ones when defending their homeland. Oh wait that's exactly what happened in Afghanistan vs USSR and USA, Vietnam etc.
Compared to the federal workforce, the number of congressional staffers is a rounding error. Those working at intelligence agencies and presidential appointees are all likely near or well above $106k. You're talking about secretaries and undersecretaries and directors of entire government departments.

FYI, the survey also didn't include uniformed service personnel.
I don't think $100-200 per year for preventative care is enough. I reckon $1000-$10,000 per year, depending on age, is more accurate. You should spend at least $500 per year on nutritional supplements like Vitamin D. Switzerland has a better medical system that's cheaper than our system, but it's still expensive.

I’m wondering if it’s a little of both. I’m not a nutritionist, but one operating theory I’ve read is that many processed foods are manufactured in such a way that they make you feel less full than a homemade equivalent would.
Assets which purport to preserve wealth (outside of a bank account) usually end up as some kind of pyramid scheme. This is particularly unfortunate in the case of housing as the victims have no choice but to buy in, and take out increasingly large loans to pay off the previous generation's buy in. Bit coins are quite similar in structure, though they lack the forced buy in, which is why many of them are now attempting to target pensions funds and even lobbying to create official government reserves. (About half of all corporate spending in the last US election was crypto.)
No one told me that I’ve just seen a map and it looks quite extensive in a lot of the western US.

Hi, welcome to our timeline.
If you're talking Bay Area, the only thing that will ever make progress there is to fire the Board of Supervisors into the bay and make the entire permitting process 'shall issue' with no objections allowed from neighbors.
It seems a bit strange. This isn’t like nuclear weapons researchers in the 1940s, where only a small group had the knowledge to build the bomb. There are a LOT of AI researchers out there, and it’s more a battle of resources rather than rare knowledge at this point, it seems.
I wish you weren’t being downvoted. On our phones and looking at ads is the most important thing period. Google news, X, and whatever else will ensure its the only priority. If peace and harmony made us look at ads then current events would be viewed as a new renaissance.

This is hilarious where people get to the point that they will defend junk mail because it suits their political purposes.

Junk mail is bad.

Full stop.
Many rocket engines, especially the reusable sort, require active cooling of the throttle and combustion chamber. A portion of the fuel is split into channels which run through the combustion chamber, throat, and the nozzle. Generally it is a close loop system, so the fuel makes back to be injected into the combustion chamber.

To get max performance modern engines run hot, aka ox rich, and the regen cooling is generally not enough. So in addition to that, critical surfaces such as nozzle also get protected by injecting a thin layer of fuel. This biases combustion to be fuel heavy in localized areas which is less hot. Of course all of this happens in an extremely dynamic environment where gasses are moving at 2km/s+.
> it doesn't surprise me that Republicans would be uncomfortable with organisations like 18F that had zero ideological diversity

Ideological diversity within the federal bureaucracy is exactly what the war against the permanent civil service is directed against, in favor of partisan patronage and Führerprinzip.
$150,000 USD is around ¥1,092,00 CNY, so that might explain it. :p
Sure. But I can tell you that it was such messaging that helped elect Trump. You can dismiss me as stupid, and all of the electorate that voted for Trump too. But it's not exactly brilliant to configure your messaging only to be properly understood by people as brilliant as yourself.
That's fair. I know most Western countries are effectively 2 party, but the US does seem more so than others. Regardless, he is who was picked by a very large number of people in a fair, democratic election.
From my experience with my own condo's board and looking at the numbers, it's more like a lot of condos are only now adjusting fees to what's actually needed for proper maintenance, after events like the Surfside collapse finally scared managers out of pushing the problem down the road.
Presumaby they are worried about a reprise of what happend to Meng Wanzhou, daughter of the founder of Huawei, who was put under house arrest in Canada, thus severely damaging Canadian diplomatic and commercial relations with China, all for the US who initiated the proceedings to say "never mind" 3 years later.

I'm pretty sure the Canadians are not going to take a bullet for the US again. And the Chinese would not take the risk for their AI researchers, who like those who work at DeepSeek have proven they can be world-class.
Because in a lot of places there is nothing else fun to do. There is in particular nothing to do for teenagers. They aren’t welcome at most places and the mall is about the only place where you can go and (a) not be run out of there and (b) not have your parents worried that you are getting up to no good. So teenagers grow up in the malls and as adults are habitually going back.
I have no objection to your claim that Chinese pivot quickly. I saw it when Tesla introduced Gigacasting. Some of the Chinese automakers announced and implemented Gigacasting as quick as possible. Quick turnaround after a new idea is presented probably comes from their long heritage of copying and reverse engineering. We have very few orgs in the US that have this kind of burn the boats thinking. Mostly they are in Silicon Valley with companies like Tesla and Apple(more so during the Jobs era but still true today).

>They have focus, reliably execute, and recover relatively quickly from mistakes and are getting increasingly good at social engineering to enable those things. They are thinking 50 years into the future at all times.

Ok all of this is true but it does not address my main point: they have a fundamental problem that began decades ago and the window has now closed to prevent a massive disaster that could take the "steam out of the economic engine". How are they going to resolve this?

>Yes, it’s absolutely possible they go too far and end in a revolution but I don’t see that happening in this century. The overall sentiment in the country (outside metro areas) is a tremendous amount of support for their government.

I haven't kept up with the lie flat movement but I imagine part of the cause of this massive birth rate problem was in fact 996. Its a sort of silent revolution agains the leadership. Young Chinese crushed with the burden of buying impossibly expensive property, having to care for elders and start a family choose to opt out. Are they going to take the people opted out and put them into camps unless they pop out kids and start spending their life doing innovation? Im sure that will do wonders for fostering innovation.
I'm so mad you just injected the term broligarch into my brain.
Trump admin is acting as an illegitimate government by ignoring the Constitution and siding with Putin of all people. The results of the election are being rendered irrelevant.
I've just reinstalled a PC with windows and coming from macOS and about 10 years of XCode, I certainly prefer the mac camp over the absolute smouldering hot garbage of a wasteland that the windows ecosystem is.

Just the BIOS settings nightmare I had to get through for it install Windows properly was beyond belief. I guess OEM installs have won. But building your own hardware like "back in the days", oh the sweet sweet old days, what a nightmare.

My BIOS even has AI in it (WTF).

Even Microsoft holds its own debloating list [1]! How bad is that?

I tried to clean windows right after install and that took much longer than setting a brand new mac. And the macOS doesn't cost $150, for ad-riddled cortana/AI nightmare feeding my clicks to random houses and shipping with minecraft and king.com games!

At some point, "both camps" have to agree to disagree but there are lot of rose tinted glasses everywhere.

Even after you pointed it out, I really had to search the page for it and finally found it tucked away if the far bottom right corner of the page.. I can totally imagine that for those who do not know where to look specifically, that they'll never see this information.

The discipline in question matters.

I get that this may happen for an arts degree, or something like that, it's wrong on a moral level, slap on the wrist no biggie.

But if we are talking physicians or lawyers, it becomes a criminal matter for me.

Computer science I feel is on a gray area, and Engineering in the US doesn't have the same protections as it does in other countries.

I'm starting to think we'll have to license computer programming in the following decade, there's so many quacks and shit software going around, something is gonna go horribly wrong.
Israel has had nuclear weapons for decades.
It can be, but it's easy to check wheter it's true or another fascist dream, right
Maybe there are valid reasons to go after Musk, but the propensity of the previous administration towards lawfare clouds all of these investigations.

There are no real checks and balances when it comes to launching investigations into your political rivals for political purposes.

Considering the barrage of regulatory, reputational and legal attacks Musk faced, it shouldn't be surprising that he seeks to neuter the ability of the bureaucracy to weaponise the government again in future.
IME sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't.
> Does anybody doubt that this is a reasonable concern?

Im pretty anti-CCP, and pro-USA, but I wouldn't put anything past the Trump admin at this point. Honestly don't see how news worthy this whole thing is, as it just seems like common sense from the Chinese side imo.
Or in the case of Russia, murders go down, and unidentified bodies that are dead for no particular reason go up by the same amount.
