SSRI's are known to have side effects on your sex drive, libido and anorgasmia in some cases. The bar for informing patients on potential side effects is so low. The silver bullet attitude many doctors carry with ssri prescriptions is

I would have avoided the hype train and intellectual amazement for computers. Treating startup ideas as an over-achieving school project, wasted a lot of time. Getting a clear handle on what kinds of problems I can make computers solve and

Reading maps gave you a view of the surrounding area and the bird's eye view of optional roads nearby. You can load up on the gaps in your knowledge and skip the rest of navigating. GPS interuptions puts me on edge while I'm talki

The edge cases aren't fully captured. That accountant driving to Lowes twice a year to pick up mulch, finds out he's missing a shovel or a reticulation fitting or something unexpected. The pickup truck is a solid work horse in new

It has to be the right religion. The world's population centres do not have a 1:1 match of religious services to families living there. Putting humans in the wrong religious grouping leads to more persecution.

On a basic level, kids give off joy and kids enjoy the world in ways that are long dead to us. It is enjoyable to watch them grow and putting energy into kids when they are young feels rewarding. Pretty much everything a kid does is importa

Trust isn't enough. Humans constantly error checking AI output, get worn down and then the stupidity leaks in. Can't use AI as a crutch, it eventually does the thinking for you. Agent Smith - I say your civilization, because when

What works for me: - Write out bad ideas on spare paper to get them out of your head. - Write out good/private ideas into a diary, like a conversation or journal you have with yourself. Any non-practical information you want to keep in

Move into a sharehouse with people you trust and stream yourself on twitch. Move into a basement where you can't be surveilled (though your quality of life and sanity will likely drop even more). Let the gang know you're broke or

The probative value of silence is very complex. I wouldn't be sure their silence suggests anything good. As soon as that staff member comes up with, or finds a better way to freedom.. they'll take it. C level pay for A level work,

False pretenses have become very common in the past 15yrs. We often roll it up into the idea of constant change and private individuals being free to change their mind on a moments notice, or withhold majorly important caveats. The idea of

Odd and surprising, I've never done that kind of imagining and now that you describe it in a relatable way, I found myself doing it. There is a natural instinct to return back to my normal way. Thank you for the insight!

I can pull specific, full and quality images and "scenes" with related emotions from memory. When prompted to answer the question, it's constructing the image on the fly. A moving image that is partially created and then only

I love gathering the concepts listed in these kinds of articles. The structure or grand narrative to organize these concepts into a coherent whole is always missing though. Not sure about it. We build more sophisticated programming architec

The internet has fractionated out our cultural references and commonly used language. This has caused the communication of belief to separate out from lanaguage. The Facebook Spying idea is the common place to agree and complain about phone

I miss when new tech was tested on military grunts and scientific r&d departments. Leave the test pilot work, to test pilots. Don't misrepresent the product to my family members so they can be your beta testers, at the cost of thei

The religious status of the people running the state is often enough evidence that the state and the church are unavoidably, mutually overlapping concepts.

LearnOpenGl.com Possibly a smidge outdated. Goes from blank window to rendering 3d meshes with advanced lighting techniques (HDR, SSAO and more). Heped me understand shader pipeline, so I recommend it. https://learnopengl.com

When reading and writing was new, there was a real problem of authors becoming reactive and narrowing their writing to a reaction of what they read. The same concept can happen with coders. They don't have an understanding and purpose

The newness of the field has nothing to do with it. The internet and tech in general has benefitted from being outside the law and doing all the old illegal sales and marketing techniques, online. We can get into the weeds on the detail o

We could have kept social rules outside of the CPU and made sure the machines were unintelligible. We should have kept the machines blind and retained social control between people and families. Once we allowed machine code to be intelligib

A computer owned society doesn't really need jails. You can deny 90% of services to a criminal and track and limit their movement digitally. We are already in the jail.

Publications can be silenced by a superinjunction in the UK. Not allowed to publicize specific information and not allowed to say they are gagged. Honestly the UK is one of the few places that treats speech like it matters enough to be kept

Yes genetic testing is suspectible to psuedo science, something like phrenology. It is much healthier to offer genetic improvements for flaws than arbitrarily incriminate by way of dna makeup.

Yes but there is no requirement to surveil someone's bedroom, when their life totally depends on your agricultural handouts. A hard reset on surveillance is required. We have to build housing that cannot be surveilled, blacklist by def

Security through obscurity is fine if everyone can do it. Security for me, clarity into you, is a big problem. We should build unsurveillable homes.
