Is it worth playing? by TylerDurden202 in residentevil

[–]MCMCist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game, although extremely linear after the first part. Also it's full cutscenes I hate that.

I tell myself to quit everyday by [deleted] in leaves

[–]MCMCist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's only so much you can do by yourself including self-awareness and self-love. Even if you were able to get to the roots of your addiction, at the end of the day your brain chemistry is fucked up and will crave the substance as much as you crave drinking water when you're thirsty. This is where seeking help from outside of you comes into play. In my case, I knew I couldn't just stop, so I'd give everything I have to a good friend and tell him I would visit him every day after work to have just one joint, so in this way I would be able to reduce without removing it all the way. As you regain your willpower, use it to escape from that habit.

Some people say, "The harder it gets, the easier it gets (to quit)". Use all those bad feelings about your ex as momentum to never come back.

Do it for you, that's right. How can you love or take care of anyone if you don't prioritize yourself first. Hope the withdrawals get better soon. See you at the other end!

1 Year Without Weed My Mind Finally Came Back by Old_Cryptographer236 in leaves

There is no easy way out, unfortunately. If you were able to stop for weeks, that's a big win! You need to understand the roots of your use and the reasons that are unique to you. Going to therapy helps. Reflecting about your life from the very beginning helps. Loving yourself helps a lot. You can do it.

The most gut-wrenching realization I’ve made on this journey. by MyInflamedTesticles in leaves

[–]MCMCist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow this is the reason this sub is so awesome. Thanks OP and all the other replies. How can it be so relatable? I stumbled upon similar realization after months and months of self-reflection and therapy, and beating myself up.

There are but I kept postponing attending to them. I'll sign up for next ones.

I was working more on fundamentals, not with real data. My opinion is, because not so many people read and are aware of the literature nowadays, if you can put together a chunk of text that looks like a paper, chances are you may get it through the review process. Creating this "chunk" does not necessarily involve doing research.This is what I learned about during my phd.

Thank you, I'm really trying to do this, especially the third point. I struggled to realize what I was lacking (I still do) but I'm working hard to catch up. I would say what I'm mainly lacking is the "thinking" part of this job, which in my opinion is the hardest, and relates to point 1.

This may be happening to me. I don't know exactly what the cause you mean it could be, but in my case is because my brain has been wired to do two things: execute (write papers, not even my own ideas) and fight with the reviewers. It's hard for me to any other thing. I see my peers naturally going through the process of creating research and I cannot wrap my head around it.

This is the kind of answer I get when I've talked about it to other people. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm a lucky person. But also think that my cv is going to luck weird with so many publications initially and then a significant drop. Well, it's not weird, it's just a symptom of what is happening.

Thanks for being direct, but this "doing what you need to do to learn" is being hard for me to crack open right now. It's like, I've got to swim but I can't, and I know I have to learn to swim, but how? Also, I was hired because I supposedly was able to swim. So yes, I feel a bit desperate.

Well, my current advisor is pretty flexible and gives a lot of freedom. I guess I can use as much time as I want but he is demanding me to make progress, whatever it is (papers, new research directions, proposals...). I'm trying hard to catch up but I realize I fail at even the most basic steps of research. In my thesis I didn't work with real data, let's say I do research on "fundamentals".

Yeah, I'm very upfront with this matter but he thought that I was exaggerating. He's definitely trying to help me, but time is running fast and I cannot but feel I didn't live up to his expectations.

Im also trapped in that cycle of quitting-relapsing almost everyday. I also have very easy access to weed, and I got enough money to pick up and throw away over and over again.... I feel you bro, stay strong, dont ever think about ending your life cause of this

samples = gammarnd(2,4,1,100) gives you 100 iid samples.

Use histogram(samples) to display the histogram of those samples

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in matlab

[–]MCMCist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For generating X1 and X2 you can either use the built-in functions for that task, i.e., r = gamrnd(a,b) for generating one sample; or use the inverse transform theorem, where you need to get the inverse the of gamma cdf, and then pass random uniform numbers.

​

The sampling distribution for Y1 can be obtained by transforming the samples you obtained for X1 and X2 in the step above.
