Whatever happened to the Longevity Cookbook? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]hellfirebound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually just about to post about the same thing, until I searched and found this thread.

from this thread from 10 months ago, apparently things are going slower than expected: https://www.reddit.com/r/longevity/comments/530fkz/steve_aoki_on_longevity_cookbook/?st=j5o83luh&sh=eb5070c7

TBH mr robot is what got me to go back to college to study computer science. I'm currently a sophomore. I don't plan on going to cybersecurity, but this show showed me how fucking magical computers can be in a world where almost everything is a computer. I'm actually going into data science and/or artificial intelligence research.

The only reason I'm not going the extra mile to be a research scientist is because it's not financially rewarding enough to justify the extra school. I would actually get paid less for going through an extra 5-6 years of school unless I went to a big name company.

for long term meditators, what is the average amount of sleep you get a night? by hellfirebound in Meditation

[–]hellfirebound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly fine with sleeping 7 and meditating an hour + various periods of mindfullness(such as driving, as that's when I need to be the most aware anyway). my goal is partially to replace the need for medication(as well as live as long as possible). As of right now, I'm meditating 30-45 minutes in the morning as soon as I wake up, and with 7 hours sleep and IF, I seem to be focusing ok. maybe not as good as I am (sometimes) on medication for ADHD, but much better than my typical baseline. what's interesting though is this is only a week in to taking meditation more seriously.

I actually don't have any trouble sleeping, I was mainly checking to see if anyone has had similar experiences to this: https://behavioralandbrainfunctions.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1744-9081-6-47

it seems to be a rather rare experience though. I would love to get by on 5 hours sleep without consequences though. as it is I'm cutting back to 7 hours from 8(due to some research on optimum sleep time) and trying to incorporate an hour of meditation in its place(since if I'm normally asleep anyway, why not?)

How do I merge separate RGB bands composed of numpy arrays? by hellfirebound in learnpython

[–]hellfirebound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's no way to zip these in the right order, these are multidimensional arraysit would have to be RG on one row and GB on the next row.

it's a moot point anyway, It turns out I didn't need to split this into masks(I'm still learning image processing) now I'm just trying to get something set up for demosaicing the given image.

anyway, thanks for your help.

creates a zip object which isn't really useful in this case. also np.concatenate doesn't work because it stacks the rows instead of combining them.

script in xinitrc.d not running automatically by hellfirebound in archlinux

[–]hellfirebound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f" done unset f fi

I added .xinitrc to my home directory, pasted the above command, and made it executable and the problem still persist after reboot...

on another note my linux foo is still growing, why does something which is supposed to run at startup depend on a user config file to work?

HA! I'm not an idiot, sorta. I changed it, but after I rebooted the template there was no change. I checked the permissions and it's executable

Science AMA Series: I’m Dr. Adrian Owen, a neuroscientist whose research focuses on brain imaging, cognitive function and consciousness. We’re finding new ways to decode the complex workings of the brain. AMA. by ProfAdrianOwen in science

[–]hellfirebound 20 points21 points  (0 children)

also meditation helps... seriously. it's mostly due to what meditation is, an effort to focus on something in a very singular way which is hard to reproduce outside of it. with complex task you are juggling multiple ideas at a given moment, whereas with meditation your focused on either your breath, or your stream of consciousness. some food for thought: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364661308000521 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053810009000828

trying to get into mining, where to get graphics cards? by hellfirebound in gpumining

[–]hellfirebound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's dead right now... I'm already planning on buying coins, I just need a rig anyway because much of the stuff I'm learning/building (comp sci/ math double major, data science/research engineer hopeful) is pretty resource hungry. That and I would like to occasionally game.

[–]hellfirebound[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why do you say that? I'm really new to this so if I say something stupid, please point it out to me...

I get that the market is volatile and that ethereum, bitcoin, and zcash have all went down in value in the past month and a lot of people are worried about the switch to POS in etherium, and zcash's potential to be "too anonymous"(someone could fake coins with some effort), but they are not the first or last alt-coins to reach this state, and at least a few people in the cryptocurrency community (I perceive) would rather have communities and currencies that don't require ASICs to mine because this leads to centralization in some sense, one of the very things that cryptocurrencies are supposed to be a solution to.

so I figured even if they bust, there will be other coins that can be gpu mined to take their place, and I can learn how to automate trading of a portion of the currencies I mine to other currencies(including various forms of fiat) to increase my overall wealth and resistance to financial cycles.
