I have fallen into many pits of depression over almost 20 years now, even now I am struggling to get out of a deep one. Seems this is just a cycle in my life, unfortunately. You can't logic yourself out of beliefs, I…
Probably wise. Also relatable, I have tons of old notes of ideas at some point I thought were potentially profound, only to realize they were half-baked and/or already explored. I'm still waiting on my "new kind of…
Speaking from experience, you analysis is spot on and this is a very common coping method in social work as well. It is done because otherwise in the 9/10 cases where things do not improve, you feel you have failed.…
I mean... I don't agree with "harmed," the author's tone, or the title alleging some sort of coverup, but otherwise, Yeah, of course. If you look at a longitudinal, high-quality trial (or meta-analysis, since you'd be…
So what would you suggest to replace it? Obviously there needs to be some federal law enforcement agency... And as much as their past has portions that are super fucked up, wasn't that also a reflection of American…
Oh wow, summit.news! Those other headlines are stellar, be sure to give them a look. What's next for HN, Breitbart? I love the topic too, a comedian whining about "cancel culture." So great. Sparks joy. Definitely not a…
I'm far from an expert in this subject but doesn't this ranking of large text compression algorithms with NNCP coming first suggest that neural-nets are pretty great at compression? http://mattmahoney.net/dc/text.html…
Fork yeah, that's very exciting, thank you for the info. I'm not a Rustacean but these memory related CVEs need to stop. Any small steps toward a memory safe(r) OS is good news to me!
Nobody should try anything new in the DE space because more mature things have been established with far more engineering hours? That's odd to me. You don't think they'll look at the design and learn from the advances…
Oh man, I just did a thesis on using a memory safe language like Rust for the kernel. The consensus in research was that Rust is extremely promising for designing a next gen memory safe OS. Some data structures are…
Thank you! I am trying to argue with myself more. Partly because I can be a bit of an opinionated know-it-all which is unpleasant and very foolish! Also I think about how young we are as a species that uses the…
It's still around but I imagine it is experiencing a bunch of competitors biting chunks out of it. A lot more people can script now, so open source packages of computer algebra systems (Sage, numpy, scipy etc.) Probably…
Hmm, I think it's dangerous territory to use disbelief or skepticism of personality disorders as a potential diagnostic criteria. There are a lot of incongruities in research surrounding them that psychology fails to…
Devil's advocate: From an evolutionary perspective, our bodies were designed as mere vessels to propagate our genes. They were not designed to survive 7-8 decades regardless of diet, because by this time reproductive…
I like to fast for a couple days, simply because I find it helps a lot with mental clarity. However, I think you make a good point. Fasting absolutely can have downsides. The link in the comment you are replying to, for…
Initially I thought that the reason for this would be that most people with transplants live less than 10 years, and eligibility requirements of who gets transplants (and therefore who gets calcineurin inhibitors) might…
Indulge me with an odd potential counter-point though. What if human knowledge is fundamentally both more inductive and collectivist than we care to admit? After all, Hume's problem of induction (that deductive…
>"Perhaps the best defense against epidemics like this one lies in choosing to look more closely and more sympathetically at the people in those hoods—to put a higher priority on community than we’ve done in recent…
I really appreciated this, thanks. Here's a nod back.
This is the best guide I’ve found: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a50/1230517/ Goes into depth debunking most of the conspiracies I've heard of. My best ELI5 for the one you are asking about: Does a bar of…
No... That's not true. You're off by over one hundred years for the Western world. The UK passed the Cruelty to Animals act in 1876 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruelty_to_Animals_Act,_1876 The act states that: >…
Every single issue… are you certain about that? To my knowledge Android doesn’t censor the Taiwanese flag emoji at the request of the Chinese communist party, if the locale is mainland China. But maybe you consider that…
No Temple OS.... REPENT HEATHEN.
https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/lists/nobel-laureates-by-a... That saying doesn't seem to be true at all if you sort by age. If you have your nobel prize by 30 you are an outlier. There are similar sayings for…
I forget, is your quote attributable to Michael Scott or Wayne Gretsky? You assume I've neither read the article or researched demonology. I have. All of the neopagan bullshit and demonic sigils can be traced back to…
