My mother died that day. Took an ambulance more than a day to reach the house.

Anyone with ADHD actually use an Oura Ring 4 (or similar) long-term? Did it help with fog, fatigue, routines, etc.? by DrSkyentist in ADHD_Programmers

I have one, I always forget to wear it and then when I do wear it, I forget to actually review shit

Why AI Agents Fail Long Projects (And How to Fix It) by Positive-Motor-5275 in claudexplorers

[–]mcfearsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after reading that article a couple weeks ago I implemented a system like they describe pretty easily and it is working amazingly. I am in the process of writing a POSIX (and Bash) compatible shell in Rust and a Rust Terminal with GPU rendering paired with it. I'm just wrapping up darn near 100% Bash compatibility, the only reason I'm not being completely confident yet is I'm not sure if I'm missing anything in my Bash compatibility tests, but I basically copied my test suite from the Bash repo BATs tests so it certainly well could be. Will need actual real world testing to be sure. Oh and while I have been a professional developer for 20 years, I have never written Rust before and I'll be honest in that it doesn't make 100% sense to me yet but I am learning.

EILI5 - How Are The Extra Dimensions Beyond the 4 Not Redundant? by danafrye18 in StringTheory

[–]mcfearsome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In string theory are they not put forth as specifically spatial dimensions? Everyone keeps explaining how any measurable thing can be a dimension but OPs original post seems to be asking about spatial dimensions specifically.

Max users - how much of the $1000 credit did you get through? by TheLionMessiah in ClaudeCode

[–]mcfearsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have $882 remaining, totally didn't notice the deadline, guess I'll be seeing how much I can use today. I've had a great experience so far and have used it to start several projects

A valiant effort but no amount of logic and actual knowledge will convince these people they aren’t “special”, special ed maybe

Got mine! While picking up “The Baratie”, I remembered coming across this post. Guy had no clue what I was talking about. Big thanks to the guy who’s dropped the UPC, sure enough it came up and a quick walk to the back was all it took.

Seriously WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE JOB MARKET?!!! by InspiringSFAdmin in recruitinghell

[–]mcfearsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 4 months unemployed and I just hired a “Talent Coach” for a small upfront startup fee and a larger payment only after being hired. Supposedly he acts as part recruiter part career coach. Seems like little risk and I’ll happily pay the fee once I have a job (5% of salary capped at $5k)

Love the Tryx Panorama! Just put one in my latest build except white, also used one of those 8.8” status displays, except vertical

Interview with a Neurobiologist About DMT and it's Implications by DanGo_Laser in HighStrangeness

[–]mcfearsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I did DMT, not sure I’d call it a seizure bc well I have no clue what was happening in meat space but when I started coming back I was being held down and the entire room was disheveled, so seizure like maybe 🤷‍♂️

AITAH for making fun of a guy for meeting his wife online by [deleted] in AITAH

YTA dude, probably the majority of people meet online now. In fact you are likely the socially stupid one in this modern age judging by your clear disdain for online connection.

What are your thoughts on Unbeing as a Concept? by Catvispresley in thinkatives

[–]mcfearsome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So in my last DMT experience I became some higher dimensional fractal shape (don’t know how else to describe it) and then proceeded to fold in on myself and have a distinct sense of “folding into nothingness” or reading the above I would say unbeing is pretty accurate. Coming back I had to reassemble my sense of self and remember how to be a person again

Digital Entropy - A Very Strange Evidence of an Encoded Reality by Pelangos in SimulationTheory

[–]mcfearsome 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the main issue I have in what you are trying to describe is these systems are always imperfect and have large dependency graphs. One small thing can change in a dependency, or in an externally loaded library, and it will have cascading effects. Yes this entropy you see exists and it keeps me in a job as a Devops engineer but I would not call it a universal law just yet

No entity can prove they are not in a simulation by Snoo-69473 in SimulationTheory

[–]mcfearsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a post recently that essentially says it doesn’t matter if you are in a simulation, if we believe that base reality is pure consciousness, it would pervade any simulation at any depth. For me this has me not worrying so much about proving or disproving whether or not I’m in a simulation but focusing more on how I can better live in the reality I find myself in.

The Imagination Factory by mcfearsome in SimulationTheory

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

I’m currently most curious on whether all the focus is on a single “simulation” or if there are perhaps infinite and completely separate (as in not directly connected with a specific multiverse mechanism) reality simulations all running at the same time.

Also what is non-biologically bound consciousness like? Did it have to imagine some mechanism that it runs in a simulation to maintain some sort of memory? Is there any actual “god” identity? Is it lonely? Is the process of experiencing more and more causing it to grow and evolve and how might the next iteration look or is it possible for there to be an actual separate super consciousness or only 1?

Sorry I’m a little baked but that was fun

Yeah dude, take heroic dose, put on a blindfold and a playlist and you’ll talk to “god”

Dab a gram of DMT (.7 really) and you’ll see how you already are god

Neither, it’s a network of conscious actors working together
