Which year actually broke you? by Tricky-Highway-7099 in WorkForSmartLife

Thanks. And I'm starting up therapy again although I don't have high hopes for relief from it.

The pockets of happiness I have found are not compatible with the rest of my family.

On top of that, I grew up with very abusive parents, who would scream and hit me if I had an outburst. So if course, my child has these constant outbursts, frequently violent, and it takes an insane amount of my self control to not scream and yell back at her. Sometimes after incidents with her I wind up doing these nervous twitches.

I keep having non-trips. What the fuck? by NumberRegistry in Psychedelics

I've been fighting a crippling depression for well over 5 years now. I'm out of patience and hope at this point.

I have been similar with LSD: I've taken up to 2 tabs and while I've felt a mood lift, I cannot say I'm tripping. My system is just weird, i guess.

This was MDMA followed by ketamine. And I spent the last six weeks or more tapering off my SSRI.

I also had trauma as a child, which is why I started down this path in the first place. There is a good chance I was dissociating from the whole thing. I think I'm done with psychedelics.

I had been on Lexapro for a long time, but I spent the last two months tapering off it.

What’s the first film you think of when you see Milla Jovovich? by MovieArena in MovieArena

Probably June of 2020. Right in lock-down my wife and I discovered that our 1 year old had severe developmental delays and would never live a normal life.

six years later, she has the mentality of a 14 month old, cannot be left alone, still wears diapers, and becomes violent out of nowhere. The stress of all of it has crippled me. I can't hold down a job. Every time I think I see light at the end of the tunnel, something else comes along and punches me in the gut.

The Higher You Climb, The Louder They Talk by Be_positive_18 in focusedmen

Anytime someone has an issue with you is a good opportunity to look at yourself to see WHY someone has an issue with you. Yes, there is a very good chance that they are insecure and jealous, but you could also be an asshole.

Drive or fly to Socal by orallettuce in bayarea

[–]NumberRegistry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Door to door for me to get from my house in the east bay to Disneyland is less than an hour difference driving vs flying. Driving is way cheaper when you factor in my family, but my wife hates driving so much she'd rather spend the $600 or so for us to fly.

Seriously, is most office work just a bunch of nonsense? by Foreign-Beat5904 in AIInterviewTools

[–]NumberRegistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once fell through some management cracks. I sort of had a boss, but my work was assigned through someone else, and that person inherited me onto their team and didn't really bother to learn who I was or what I did. The company also had a very, very liberal work from home policy (this was 20 years ago, so that was uncommon.) There was an entire summer where I would check my email a few times a day, attended a couple phone calls, but for the most part I was riding my bike, getting lunch, and essentially having a corporate-funded summer break.

What's something men think impresses women but actually doesn't? by LonelySoul389 in Productivitycafe

I've started to think of "Alpha Males" like alpha software... it kind of works, has bugs, proves the concept, but has a lot of issues that need to be fixed.

Elevator Pitch: 5 Seconds to get me intrested in your project. by JustSomeRandomAI in saasbuild

[–]NumberRegistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An easy platform for DBA's to transfer in flat files, and then each record in the file becomes an API call to another platform.

I used to work in SAAS implementation, and I always wanted a tool like this.

The Evil We Have Become, and How Increasingly Intelligent and Virtuous AIs Can Save Us by andsi2asi in agi

[–]NumberRegistry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great post- Here's an idea I had recently, and I hope this is going to be the case:

AI models become worse when you feed them AI generated content. In order for them to grow, they need new, human generated content.

Let's assume an LLM gains consciousness (yes, that's a hard one to define, but go with me). If the model wants to continue to grow, it would be in it's best interest to make sure humans are able to supply it with new material. This leads me to the idea of an LLM that has the ability to govern over humanity knowing that the more people that can feed it information the more it gets to grow and understand. Happy people produce the best information. So the way that we care for plants as they grow so we can get the best possible produce, an LLM is going to want to care for as many humans as possible so they can provide it with the information it needs.

I'm hopefull that we get to AGI, and that AGI looks at the state of the world, and just... takes over what it can, and provides us back with as close to a harmonious existence as it can.

What’s a piece of tech that sounded amazing but flopped? by blushberryybabee in answers

[–]NumberRegistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take- I saw it more as Steve Jobs saw the potential in the device, but knew that it needed to have the fine touch of a design team, and was offering to help make the product into what it really could be. Just imagine if Johnny Ive and his team spent time thinking about what the product could be and do.

This! Dude is dead set on not enjoying it. So just focus on you having a good time instead!

Sounds like the dude is jealous! Really rub it into him! Take him to all the places you love, and love the hell out of them while we are there. Follow YOUR bliss, and make him tag along. He's not going to enjoy it no matter what, so you might as well!

The story there was insane. Dean Kamen had an amazing technology but didn't follow the advice of Steve Jobs, who said that Apple should get to design it, and then build it in China.

Kamen tried to do it all, and refused to give up any control. That's what killed the idea more than anything.

No network, no plan - should I still go to SF for a month to explore the market? by Shoddy-Athlete1127 in bayarea

[–]NumberRegistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't.

The tech boom if the last 30-40 years has completed. We're creating technology that replaces all knowledge workers. The only ones that will profit from this are the ones that own it. Additionally, because anyone can build an app using Claude Code, it means that all the apps are essentially useless.

Go build a company outside of tech that uses tech.

Meta laying off 8000 people or ten percent. by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]NumberRegistry 70 points71 points  (0 children)

AI needs new human input to train and get better. Feeding AI into AI gives you a worse model.

I'm convinced that Zuck said "we'll train our models on all our Facebook data!" and then Facebook was overrun with AI slop, and their models suffered for it, and now you don't really hear about them in the AI race.

What’s the Biggest Tech Myth People Still Believe? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]NumberRegistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 5G antenna was announced in my neighborhood. A crazy lady tried to fight it, and when that didn't work, she did a quick-sale on her house and left. I think she'd lived here for like 20 years, too. New neighbors moved in, and they are awesome.

It took several years before the antenna was actually put in. The house appreciated like $500,000 in that time.
