You should realised that not everyone here identifies as techi. I for one care about interesting problems and ideas and ignore most of the pure tech posts. From other posts I've seen, there are people from quit different occupations he

I regularly do 15 to 30 minutes. In my current project, it's between 30 and 45 minutes due to socialising with coworkers. These minutes are not paid, meaning I have to stay longer at work, less free time. Long lunch almost always feels

Thank you for this post, never read anything like this explanation. It offers a new and very interesting perspective.

Thanks, first explanation about these voiceless thoughts that I could understand. I think I can produce the same voiceless thoughts. But my voiced thoughts are crisp, clear and easily hold in memory compared to other modes of thinking. I wo

Wow, as I'm aware of the idea, that our brains may indeed host several consciousnesses, I did not expect to be freaked out by any of this. But if my inner narrator is another consciousness, holy. Just at the realization struck me, my i

This is great. How many people have solved similar problems to this and not written anything down? How often are the same problems solved, over and over again? You did a great service and I hope it catches on. I'm just wondering, will

What would be an example for professions that required at least two generations?

This sounds serious, please consider seeking mental support and health care. Even if you don't make it to the top of your value pyramid, life should offer you something.

Good insight, I share your problem. Producing instead of consuming, in my free time, is what I like to do. But nothing seems worth it or I lack the skills and resources to do so. And so I remain where I am. Quit comfortably, all in all, but

I had at least one autonomous landing due to heavy fog. Was announced by the captain, he said something like: "Because of the weather conditions, we'll use automatic landing for safety reasons". Landing was quite flawless, de

I like your thoughts on this. Have to disagree about exclusion being the problem. If community is a product, exclusion is it means of production. The problem with religion isn't exclusion, it's a partially outdated set of rules by

I genuinely can't tell if this comment is sarcasm or not. If it's not sarcasm, fun isn't passion. Not even close.

Games, reading and doing various sports is what keeps me having a good life. I'd have loved to able to find meaningful work, but that never happened. Interestingly, this is freeing. If my work will never be important, I'm free to

Just a guess, but I know some farmers. What I get from them is, that they are all about freedom to do what they think is right on their own land. Anything that brings regulations to their farms is felt as an attack. To be honest, I can unde

I'm also for a common vocabulary, but I wonder why you're getting downvoated for having another opinion.

Comparing others to cancer, that's always a great display of character. There is much to unpack here, but I'll enjoy myself a bit and simply leave you with the concept "eternal September". Google, if you haven't hea

Disagree. I don't care about CS at all. Still like the work, but wouldn't do it if it weren't for the money. Am I good at SE? No. But I went from terrible to average in a period of 4 years and am now earning 6 figures. All wi

I believe we do. For example, the book "Why we sleep" goes into the health and performance costs of not enough sleep. And even one hour of lost sleep is already significant.

Ah, then I'm right behind. But it's not that more Math knowledge wouldn't help at all, just that the cost to benefit ratio seems not worth it. I never needed actual Math in my career so far.

What do you mean by lack of faith? Not trusting mathematical proofs?

What exactly do you fake at work? I fake nothing in my life, including work, and don't really understand this. Maybe this is a cultural thing?

I guess my reaction to your post is the closest I'll ever come to the feeling of envy. IRL, I don't know a single drug user or way how to get them. I looked it up online several times in different countries. Result always the same

There are no wet lab communities out here (Switzerland), at least I couldn't find any. But asking a postdoc to help out for free sounds promising. Btw, I work 50 hours a week plus travel, I don't think it's going to be that f

Good luck with the robot. I wonder, if the individual steps are really that simple, why hasn´t it already be automated already? And if you don´t mind me asking, what´s the best way to start a little home experiment to see if one may actuall

I know what you mean. Guess a helpful analogy for some might be to consider two objects of one class. Those objects can be instantiated with identical values, but they are, in fact, two different objects. They occupy a different, physical s

Please do. A simple list of things a CS person should know in order to be useful in a biotech context would be a good starter. I like to start with some books and simple experiments at home, but have no idea where to begin. In the past, I t

I wanted to do this for years now. It´s clear to me, that biotech will become a complete game changer. But what can you do, if you know only the computer science part? It seems like you can contribute only peanuts, if you don´t know one of

One of the more fundamental realisations of our time. Yet most seem unaware. I'm not automatically free in a liberal democracy. Just more free than in others.

For sure. Study the literature of your subject. The point is, what do you think about automatically when you don't focus on a specific task? My expectation is, that people who are great at what they do continue to think and daydream ab
