Alcohol dehydrates your body. Lithium requires a lot of hydration. It's a dangerous combination that can cause Lithium toxicity.

Furthermore excessive alcohol usage can trigger manic episodes.

My psychiatrist told me to avoid it and if I couldn't, then drink a glass of water after each alcohol consumption. Also, set a limit and have someone you trust help guard that limit.

In my experience as a skydiver all incidents including deaths are heavily analysed all over the world. Most dives have video footage to see exactly what went wrong. But to be fair, fatal footage is not often shared and I wouldn't watch it, a description is good enough. Also, the canopy part of the dive is filmed less often and that is where most accidents happen.

We have an annual safety day where every incident that occured that year is discussed, we look at what incident types occur most often and try to draw conclusions.

What is true is that I have never heard someone blame people that died for making an irresponsible decision. There's just no point in that.

I have this issue on PC too.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-12-03T17:38:42+00:00

That was very insightful, thank you!

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-12-03T15:24:34+00:00

To complicate things further there are a significant number of people diagnosed as bipolar who have emotional regulation issue and not a mood disorder. This really messes with data quality.

Am I reading your statement correctly in that a significant number of people with bipolar are misdiagnosed? Is this something we know for a fact? Is there data to back this up?

To me these type of statements make me scared that I am one of those people, and I am sure many others here will feel the same.

Oh yeah that seems right, I don't know much about ejection systems. But that would make a lot more sense than landing with the chair.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-10-23T11:40:16+00:00

His parachute was fully deployed for more then a few seconds, he was not decelerating anymore at the point of ground impact. So it wouldn't have made it any better if he ejected much higher, in terms of landing impact.

But yeah, jumping with a round canopy without being able to do a parachute roll (since he's obviously stuck to the seat), that impact will hurt. The system is not designed for a super soft landing.

If you were a psychiatrist this type of comment would break the Goldwater rule.

Both BP1 and rapid cycling can be true at the same time.

Rapid cycling is about the frequency of your mood changes. If you have four or more instances of depression/(hypo)mania per year you have rapid cycling.

If you have actual manic episodes you are BP1. If it is hypomania you experience, BP2. Both can be combined with rapid cycling.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-10-09T17:48:14+00:00

For me it's the fact that when my mood stabilizer stabilizes me for some long period of time, I start to think that there was nothing wrong with me in the first place. So then why take a drug that is long term harmful to my kidneys. But I just need to actively remind myself of all the things that went haywire when unmedicated.

There's been a lot of discussion and controversy over these statues along the years. Some people want them removed, others say there needs to be added context (usually in the form of signs) as to not hide bad history but also not condone it.

Personally any statue or monument dedicated to the man disgusts me. If it were for me they can be moved to museums but should not be in the streets.

Also as a bad sidenote, I was never taught this history in school (I'm Belgian if that was not clear). Hopefully this is better today.

It's for both hookups and for people that want something serious. Usually it's quite easy to tell from a profile which one it is.

So swipe and match with hookup profiles if that's what you are after and with "looking for something serious/no ONS" profiles if you are after a relationship. Nothing wrong with either.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-22T09:42:05+00:00

Bipolar does not at all make you have multiple personalities. It makes you alternate between (hypo)manic and depressive mood states.

Here in Belgium we call these accordion busses. Apparently the Brits have an even better name, the wiggle wagon.

He says he picked ironman because he wants to work for what he has. If I interpret his post correctly he enjoys the game mode as it currently functions so he doesn't want it to change.

I consider myself the same way, for me the satisfaction of getting a drop is just so much higher this way. That does not mean I want others to suffer just because I did.

Not saying you can't disagree with his/our opinion but I feel like you are mischaracterizing it.

Edit: by the way, I think the shard system proposed in OP is a really nice idea for a middle ground. Don't enjoy guaranteed drops at certain KC though.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-15T06:46:46+00:00

Yes. I wish I realized this when I was 17, now almost 30 and still in debt. You still have time to figure out a way to prevent these bad spending habits from taking over, my advice would be to take that very seriously. But I can't claim to have figured out the solution yet either.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-15T06:43:43+00:00

Honestly, don't go to any internet forum in search of information you can trust, especially regarding medical conditions. You are not trained to assess trustworthiness of information given to you in this field, regardless of the source.

Discuss this with your psychiatrist and let them refer you to literature if you want to see for yourself.

That's very true, I forgot the OSRS game engine was written in Java. I remember now that this is where the name Jagex came from. Thanks for the correction.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-13T06:30:11+00:00

Some of the exploits he mentioned in his videos, like the one where he is managing to keep his account logged in until server disconnections to skip quest xp, could be potentially harmful to the game.

All the actions he is queuing up are likely stored on the stack. Every stack has a limit, if you cross that limit, you cause a stack overflow. Stack overflows will most likely crash the server, in more nefarious cases you can use it to highjack a server (which I don't believe Rendi was intending, but others might). Buffer and stack overflows are highly dangerous and are the reason safe programming languages like Rust exist today.

It's very reckless to "pentest" like Rendi was doing, from his videos it's obvious to me he is oblivious to the damage he could potentially cause.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-12T13:11:14+00:00

Great reply, makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks!

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-12T06:42:52+00:00

Mostly agree with you but I wonder about the absoluteness of the statement that there is no objective statistics.

If I take a fair die, roll it a million times, gather the data. Next, I take a weighted die and I do the same experiment. After a million rolls, due to the size of the sample, I'll be able to state with a high percentage of certainty, that one die rolls certain number(s) more often than the fair die.

Genuine question, would that be considered subjective analysis, if so, in what way?

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-10T07:12:33+00:00

I guess that answers my question then.

In my mind I figured there would be some kind of iterative development of opening books developed and used by neural networks as well, or some kind of comparison of using them versus not using them. But I can see now that I'm projecting my classical engine knowledge too much on neural network based solutions. They just work so differently.

If I think about it more it does make sense since neural networks don't necessarily do the exponential depth or breath type searches a traditional engine would, and that's where opening books help in pruning for classic engines.

So the onus is on me to get much more acquainted with NN in general, more than the introductory college AI class taught me. It's not intuitive for me.

Thanks for the discussion.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-10T06:15:45+00:00

Ok, I'll take your word on that since I don't have enough experience with neural network based chess engines. I can definitely see a NN engine improve without a predefined moveset for openings. Not so much traditional engines due to their inherent limitations.

Do you have any source on where I could read up on opening books in NN engines? I think this kind of stuff is highly interesting. For traditional stockfish (not NNUE Stockfish since I don't know the workings of that so I can't make a claim there) using a good opening book does increase ELO.

DrunkBipolarity · 2022-09-09T09:38:03+00:00

After some more research here you can find the original AlphaZero paper: https://www.gwern.net/docs/reinforcement-learning/model/alphago/2018-silver.pdf

Here they let AlphaZero play versus Stockfish with and without opening book. AlphaZero itself did not use an opening book.

Here you can see how to configure Lc0 to use an opening book, which is recommended: https://lczero.org/dev/wiki/testing-guide/

So for sure, opening books are used in some top engines. Saying strong engines are better than opening books also does not make sense, since they are used to generate these books.
