These people are academics, their entire career and ability to get continued funding depends on getting personal credit for their work. That is entirely different from working for a private company.

I've had it write poems for me about my weird niece hobby interests, and they were very good.

That it good, and I feel like the first part of the roast could work for me as well.

It’s quite hilarious and accurate. Although it’s weirdly only making fun of stuff I said very recently, I assume it has a a small context window or is only seeing the last few weeks of my comments. This roast of my comments is good and not

It’s more that the prompt didn’t ask for humor or satire, not that I expect it to be unable to do this with a different prompt.

I don't believe this was written by Gemini, at least with that prompt, because it is obvious (hilarious and creative) satire of HN and the tech industry based on inside HN jokes and tropes, and clearly isn't a literal interpretati

I took the article as meaning white collar tech jobs that will go away, so those people will need to pivot their career, not humans. However, it does seem like time for humanity to collectively think hard about our values and goals, and wha

I'm not sure. I figured out most of that from taking Wims online class, and through years of personal practice and experimentation. I found that I was able to pick up a lot more by watching Wims body language and actions in videos, tha

You’ll have to wait for the FOOM “Fast Onset of Overwhelming Mastery” for that I’m afraid.

Specifically, they are capable of inductive logic but not deductive logic. In practice, this may not be a serious limitation, if they get good enough at induction to still almost always get the right answer.

Alan Watts, Gary Snyder, etc. were there, he just didn’t meet them. The community of people that were actually serious about that stuff was as far as I can tell pretty small and exclusive.

I know my mom ran away to SF as a teen in the 60s, but she will not say why or share the story. I’ve always been curious about it because she’s a very straight laced person, and I just cannot imagine her doing anything like that. I feel lik

I completely agree that the article only makes one very specific and narrow point, that dependence and addiction are separate things. The rest of what I wrote is, like you said, not in the article at all, but is context I am adding in attem

by _yb2s 10mo ago
While it is a contributing factor, physical dependence- withdrawal is not anymore considered necessary or sufficient for addiction. The author there is using an outdated pre-DSM5 definition of addiction which failed to recognize that there

by _yb2s 10mo ago
Yes this is absolutely true, it is a factor in addiction- I initially mentioned this in my comment but deleted it because I felt I was making it too complicated.

I think a lot of the difficulty in quitting can be mitigated by slowly titrating down the dose over a month or two instead of quitting cold turkey. But your experience mirrors mine in going cold turkey which I think demonstrates that caffei

That lancet article very well refutes the point you are trying to make. The term “chemical addiction” is not really used anymore because it really just refers to mechanisms of chemical dependence, which are neither necessary or sufficient t

by _yb2s 10mo ago
There is no real importance to the concept of “chemically addictive” and it has largely gone out of favor in psychology. Even physical behaviors like gambling and sex that obviously cannot directly, chemically act on reward system pathways,

Interesting… I will look into that. Part of Wim Hofs teachings include breathing with an extremely long exhale while humming which sounds related. I’ve heard of research showing that any type of breathing with longer exhales than inhales ac

I suspect you’re missing something important- not surprising since Wim is a really unclear teacher. The low oxygen and/or high co2 causes your body to panic and you are supposed to use that as a stimulus to gradually train conscious co

I never knew that “acute intermittent hypoxia” was a known treatment for depression, but I’ve found both freediving and Wim Hof breathing to be effective at treating my depression- however never the two at the same time as that is extremely

But with a much more human legible syntax that doesn’t require huge numbers of nested parentheses.

Yes, large heavy unibody SUVs like the Q7/Touareg/Cayenne with all of the safety tech of a high end German luxury car are likely the safest cars possible- for the passengers at least.

My point is that full sized American trucks are uniquely effective at what they are actually engineered for, and plenty of people do need and use them for that. The fact that they are even more popular with people that have no practical nee

> An f150 can do none of these things So? I gave specs for a typical 1 ton truck. A 1/2 ton F150 is smaller, cheaper, and more efficient. It depends on what you need. A panel van is more useful for some things, a truck for others- i
