Had 2 psychologists refuse to work with me, after they got to know me
Stochastic parrot is a term describing your experience with AI.
I’ve an aunt like that, ready to engage in every conversation despite not understanding the topic. Regugitating whatever she saw on her tv, in her own words.
So in a sense, the current large language models do mimic some human’s behaviour.
First past the post inevitably converges to a 2 party system, with all the frustrations that brings.
You see it as well in UK, Hungary, Turkey, …
Be carefull whenever someone suggests: the prime minister/president/… should come from the biggest party. It can take a few election cycles, but it ends up with a 2 party system, as that’s the dominant strategy.
Most people don’t realise, yet so obvious
I was playing with a magical lamp in the old volkswagen getting rusty in my grandma’s yard. When, surprisingly, the whole car turned into sand and I drowned.
Had this dream when I was 6 or 7 years old. For some reason, I think about it every so often.
An allow list is easier than a block list
I’ve made my own tv stand using these 3d printed corner pieces: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4877887/comments
For sending over small stuff, I usually generate a qr code and scan it with the other device.
I’m self employed.
Found out I’m depressed, decided to reduce work to 3 days a week.
Raised prices to reduce clients. Turns out I now make more, doing less work. It is what it is.
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll look into that
I don’t know what that is. Please, tell me all about it
You can have a phone and a vape. Double pleasure.
5-HTP serves me well. It’s got a similar serotonin impact without the tripiness of shrooms.
Shrooms are definitely dangerous, especially for people who are prone to schizophrenia I’ve read.
Personally, they made me realize my mind is capable of being content. No longer full blast, spinning plates all of the time.
That experience made me realise change is possible, and I got professional help a year later. Turns out I’ve been living in C-PTSD since I was 5.
This might be a weird one, but it is helping me a lot.
My deepest spirals into depression and alcohol abuse happen in the evening and at night.
I switched to waking up early (5am), focused on experiencing and enjoying sunrise as a kind of meditation, then going about my day. I’m off to bed by 8pm.
There’s still days where I can’t catch sleep for hours, mind racing. But hours past 8pm is still only 2am.
Listening to music: And I mean REALLY listening to music
Amen. I’ve been listening to the same album since february. Trying to decypher every baseline, every cymbal.
Brings my mind to a happier place.
I like Xubuntu. But I’ve no experience on how well it does with touch screens.
I’ve met people who don’t know what a URL is.
The kind of people that google “facebook” when they want to visit facebook.
Completely flabbergasted that we run internal services not indexable by google.
I didn’t do no nothing wrong now, didn’t I?
In my case, they did. Yes, of course there is more context.
