Thank you for helping me recognize that the hellhole I'd previously worked in in my first software dev job out of college was a SAFe gig. I'd referred to it a lot as "weaponized agile" (which I believe it is), but someho

Some problem might be it's both a people and a process problem. There may be little to nothing about it that is objectively, technically "wrong". But maybe it doesn't work for 90-95% of people. It sounds like most of wha

Good point, thanks for contributing that. Helps me to understand it a lot. :)

I've spent a fair bit of time engaging with these systems and I feel most of the issues are in the bureaucratic elements of the system, and less the medicalization. We can all pick six sigma events to prove a point, but this just tends

Overly complex and feature-filled (or extremely barebones and "fast") frameworks can also have the property of giving no responses for additional months at a time. (i.e., sometimes "it works" is good enough, and our ego

Very good points, it's scary to me that psychs with access to medications like these (and public trust too) can so casually make what seems to be such an incredibly dangerous decision, but I guess every system will have its bell curve

Interesting. One minor note is Moda a DRI too, albeit a weak one.

I agree about it sounding like a manic episode a lot. If I were to put up an opposing opinion -- some caveats here: cluster B disorders and autism both can include lithium (and symptoms not too dissimilar from mania), lamotrigine too on the

Agreed with the US style of welfare, definitely, it's like a prison for many. I find myself supporting UBI more because it avoids a lot of those pitfalls (instead seemingly moving its weaknesses to some more obvious and awkward areas,

I really feel like there were excellent elements from the checks, and that a lot of the problems stemmed from rates being hard-locked at 0% greedily even as the market very obviously seemed to be headed towards a crash with how hot things w

Very very good, a little bit of stuttering during the honking I think but I like it overall! :D :) Jitsi Meet has been a great alternative to other meeting apps in these crazy times.

It is indeed a D2 agonist and NMDA antagonist (I forget which site). I think D2 gets much maligned due to the potential induction of psychotomimetic effects at this receptor but remember too that if one subscribes to the D2-activation autor

"Extremely addictive" is a bit of a misnomer I believe, in terms of both the scientific literature and also much consensus around treatment-focused communities. Please stop spreading this. What I can say is a similar thing, that i

Recommendations: - Linux w/ Display drivers on CPU (and just...ditch miniconda please) - Use lower FP precision mode if available to use the tensor cores (also to double "effective" memory) - Batch things! - I don't know

It seems I may have stepped on a few toes here. For a lot of ML engineers I've talked to, conda is a living nightmare if one tries to go beyond one project (or maybe multienvironment) on one machine. Sometimes even one is a problem. I

I'm not so sure about this...I guess maybe there's some project specific stuff, but the good projects are semi stable and oftentimes it's just PyTorch code that you can pull and use elsewhere if needed. Other people's in

This made me laugh a fair bit, haha. Many thanks for that. The man was a 5 year old in an adult's body, in terms of size. Nothing was too large for the man. He would have been the Mecha king if he had lived for 50 more years, assuredly

Signaling is about frequency, not energy. Usually therapy and medication can help a lot. If you're just trying to naively increase "serotonin" or "oxytocin", you may get results, but probably will be stuck for a whi

In his autobiography, LeTurneau talks about one of the land trains being nuclear powered, casually as if it was just another increment. This man was on another level. His faith was pretty fantastic too, it's a really enjoyable read of

There's a lot of increased entropy in the brain of sleep deprived people, but long term the effects are negative, and the antidepressant effects are transient. So it can help but really sort of a risk from whst I've seen, unfortun
