I've dealt with a couple major depressive episodes in my life. In addition to the standard advice of 'Go see a therapist!' heres some things that help for me: 1) Committing to myself that I'm getting out of this state,

Yeah I'm not saying it can be completely fixed with supplements, but when he mentions having to read the same sentence 3 times...it sounds like it could be more than just burn out. In my experience, when I've been at that level o

Be sure you covered all your supplements. If you work indoors, you almost certainly don't get enough vitamin D. Also, multivitamins. Additionally, I take fish oil, ginkgo, and saffron and find my brain fog to be improved. But I thi

This is cool, but combined with this solar powered sand-using 3D printing project, I think this could be really amazing! Its an idea I day dream about a lot - it would be so awesome to have structures automatically built out of sand, witho

This seems like a report someone had to do for school but wasn't actually interested in. I'm not sure the authors even considered what people mean when they say they believe in the singularity. For many folks, it's just an

I think the Beatles had this principle down when they sang "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Clearly, they had to make it fit a lyric, but I think the idea is very similar. Sometimes when I hear s

What do you mean by "developing a pseudo-FMT probiotic"? How did you do that? I ask because your results are interesting enough that I'd like more information to understand if I should pursue it.

I suffered from an undiagnosed extreme itch condition which lasted over a year. Thankfully, it was not Morgellons (though that was a hypothesis at one point). I can't say whether the Morgellons folks are delusional or not, but I can

The Xeon Phi looks really awesome, and I'd love to be able to have that many cores at my disposal...however, as far as I can tell, its not at all like have 57 cores on your current computer. Whereas in my current software (Ruby, Haske

Another reason I think the valley works so well is the audience its news outlets have. If you have a great product but can't get news coverage on it, its going to be hard to get growth without a large marketing budget. However, if yo

Congrats to Tim! I've been waiting for this for a while. I've wondered though if he will have any problems traveling to foreign countries now. I don't know how much he travels, but, Russia has some bad anti-gay propaganda

I've been curious if there has been examples of psychopaths working together, presumably because it would be more optimal. Also, I'm pretty curious if/how they can identify each other.

This seems very similar to the old "Happiness = Reality - Expectations" equation. Great reality and low expectations? Large positive number. Poor reality and high expectations? Large negative number. If you want to be happy, t

I'm curious what happens if the markers are removed. For example, if one of the markers is that you've got too much X in your system, and you take a drug that binds to X and then is flushed out of your system - do you stay depres

It is known that humans require the company of other human beings or else bad things start happening (think solitary confinement: anxiety, depression, cognitive disturbances, perceptual distortions, and psychosis). I wonder to what extent

The article implied, but didn't make clear, that the customers were using Tor to browse the internet (as opposed to being a Tor endpoint). I could see comcast having an issue with customers who are endpoints, but, I'm not really

Yeah I think you make a good point about insecurity, I bet that does drive a lot of people. Given some of the bashing behavior I see people engage in, I think insecurity is definitely a factor. In my experience with depression: while it do

Yeah I agree: it seems to be a weird double edged sword. Simultaneously pushing people further, while also (in some cases) causing them to fall infinitely back. I think the percentage of people who kill themselves versus the broader number

This article focuses on founders, and I've wondered if depression in founders is actually less "Founders get depressed" and more "Depressed people become founders". My theory is this: being regularly depressed cause

I do think that acting towards group goals is important for humans, but, I don't buy that it is exclusive to humans. One example that comes to mind is the bubble net feeding practice of humpback whales. In this process there is divisi

It seems like it has promise, and is a neat idea, though the accuracy seems like it needs a lot of work. I started off by whistling, then humming, then singing (da da da...) the theme from 1812 Overture and it never got close for me. I als

Hey Daniel: Looks pretty cool, and like something I'd want to listen to. Only thing is: I have no idea what the content will be like. It'd be good to have a summary of discussion before I dive into 70 minutes of listening. I lik

What a terrible ending to the article. What Musk is warning against is a system that is capable of accomplishing it's own goals, and if those goals conflict with our own goals then there will be trouble - especially if the AI is cleve

The second video gave me an idea: it would be really great if the thing was damaged and could create a model of its damaged self in a simulation... Then it could play out different gaits (presumably at faster-than-reality speeds) to determi
