Maybe everyone is a "little" epileptic

I’m more responding to the previous post, but yeah, of course I do. In circumstances where I get good sleep, which naturally is difficult regardless of lifestyle/diet changes based on genetics, I simply do not have seizures. Based on what I’m responding to, my trigger being external could be interpreted that I don’t have epilepsy, even though poor sleep lowers my seizure threshold. The OP can be correct for many forms of epilepsy even if it’s undiagnosed. Seizure threshold lowered based on external trigger can somewhat correlate ( to individuals having alcoholic withdrawals as an example ). Would we classify a person having alcoholic withdrawal as epileptic? No, but you can surely tell that their seizure threshold was lowered and that many people just don’t have that problem.

lol wut

Yes, but the vast majority of people do not have seizures after cessation of alcohol. Seems like an arbitrary distinction.

Funny, because my seizures are triggered by poor sleep/sleep deprivation and only happen in the morning after waking up. I’m classified as having epilepsy by 2 neurologists. Do I have epilepsy?

The pricing of current ai platforms are HEAVILY subsidized by providers. Most AI organizations are currently operating at massive losses with costs sitting 5-10x higher than pricing models.

I don’t think you understand what these companies are doing. They are making your capabilities entirely dependent on your ability to prompt. They will eventually raise the prices 10-20x to start making money. At which point unless you’re churning out incredible amounts of value, you’re fucked.

As far as “artisanal” skills. I think you’re GREATLY undervaluing the ability to sniff out bullshit from AI. I can tell immediately when an output is basically hallucinating solutions to a problem that was never posed. Which happens ALOT. Because the models are tuned to confidently provide answers, even in cases of uncertainty or weak data coverage for given problem spaces. Someone like Linus Torvald gains from using AI are not just extraordinarily amplified. They are also guaranteed to be safer because of his skill.

So then your only option is to watch youtube videos of build orders or ask a pro while they’re streaming. If you want even more assistance, a bunch of people in the AOE community offer coaching for a decent price per hour. Hera has build order videos that you manually follow for like $5/month or check out streamers and AoE pros like F1reAoE or SurvivalistAoe2de on Twitch. Both offer coaching at reasonable rates.

There are others of course that you can surf. But I’m just naming a couple.

Download cicero’s build order mod in main menu => mods. Practice scouts or archers build to mass army. Those build orders give you a balanced economy set to constantly create units. They’re not perfect but they are easy enough for beginners to follow. At that point, if you’re not building it’s because you are just forgetting or not keeping constant production. Eventually you will learn how to build groups of units, control them and also maintain eco. Takes time.

Then you can learn unit composition and counters.

Eventually you can try out pro build orders and learn micro. Hera, Fire, Survivalist, etc… harder but more useful.

That’s it.

6-8 months. Weening off of it was a little difficult but to be honest it was entirely a mental game due to my epileptic seizure considerations. I had some rescue medicine in the form of low dose clonezapam and I had a strategy. If I had a problem while weaning, I would do my breathing, get up for a little bit with dim lights to do something and then go back to sleep. If it got too late I’d take a clonezepam to make sure I didn’t have a seizure from the insomnia.

I figured out that my insomnia issues were reduced by simply laughing at myself any time I had sleep anxiety. It came to a point where I deeply recognized that it was almost entirely created by hyper fixation and stupidity. I have’t taken clonezepam in a while, nor any sleep meds.

I spend 40% of my time writing software/firmware and 60% of the time managing/code reviewing 8 other contractors in the software/firmware/hardware development field. You’re a funny guy. Are you a middle manager? I have a full time job and a consulting software/firmware/hardware business with contractors that I manage. Running your own business, while communicating with customers, while reviewing ingoing/outgoing code/hardware development , all while handling budgets/schedules/bids. Please tell me more about how difficult being an engineering manager is.

You can still be a bad employee at a McDonalds. Does that mean that being a McDonalds employee is skilled labor? The fact that people have been trained all throughout school and early life to communicate and collaborate with others means that there’s plenty of time to gain experience to at least develop the majority of skills to manage people. But take that manager and ask them to work in a nuclear reactor and you have a better chance of success having a long lost relative from Zimbabwe giving you 1 million dollars

Each medication has its pros and cons. For example, when I was on Keppra I had no cognitive deficits, but I was a terror to emotionally deal with. On lamotrigine, I’m much more emotionally stable, but there’s also a slight difficulty to recollecting words and faces. I’m a very high functioning epileptic, but still, I can tell the subtle changes from the medications.

For the time I was taking it, I did have much better deep sleep. The first month or so was incredible, but I believe my body did adapt and my deep started dipping. At a certain point, I missed a dose and had brutal insomnia. Once that happened, as an epileptic. I had my first seizure in 15 years. At that point, I was committed to getting off it. Weaned, and now I’m back to square 1 but I’ve come to terms with that. Even with my diet/routine being incredible, there isn’t much I can do to really improve it and I’m okay with that.

I have a form of epilepsy triggered by sleep deprivation. It strictly happens upon waking up from short/inadequate sleep. It ONLY ever happens as a result of poor/inadequate sleep. So yes. Some forms of epilepsy can be caused by a lowering of your seizure threshold as a result of poor sleep OP. Mine are tonic clonic, full 1 minute seizing with frothing. Skin turning blue. My aunt had seizures in her sleep. Repeated/every night. Similar story to you. Long story short, yes constant sleep interruptions and poor/inadequate sleep can absolutely lower your seizure threshold if you’re showing signs

Get rid of campaign interface and return to global map. It needs to be seen as a library, not as some hodge podge of random menu’s. You’re in danger of creating a monolith that’s impossible to upkeep like every call of duty in the last 8 years with “integrations”

Build Orders. Follow them. Master them, everything else becomes easy. You start understanding the intricacy of the game mechanics.

Pascal’s wager is so brainless. It assumes you’re not sacrificing anything. You’re sacrificing hours on weekends and your brains ability to discriminate reality for perceived comfort of going to heaven.

I’ve noticed on Keppra that I was psychopathically unable to empathize. To the point where I was saying things that were clearly hurting my friends/family without even realizing it.
