If you think that still holds you have seen where the branches on this tree are starting to lead.

Feels like we found a magic bean

Only the asset holding class benefits, but it slams the working class.

As foreigners drive up asset prices it becomes more expensive to acquire equity in your society as the rich get richer.

Without an increase in wages. And economic instability causing lost jobs, as well as increasing rip stripping away earning power.

I make a lot of money as a software engineer and I don't think I'll get a home until I'm 45.

That's true in a fair market. But when you are born into a system where all the housing is owned and the asset pricing is kept inflated at the expensive of your purchasing power. That's a different situation.

You'll have better conversations of you engage with the argument rather than misrepresent it.

And a big company isn't going to pay for you to break the rules. Live frugally study what you think is important and build.

I love physics. But going back to university sounds like a nightmare. Those halls squash large swaths of neuro-atypicals and swallow you with debt. Luckily we have the internet now and we can learn by ourselves.

There is a anti medication bias because these psychotropics medications were not designed to be used longer term. I’ve tried medication, it warped me into a shell of my creative self. We’ve got to stop using psychotropic drugs to fit people to society. And starting helping people integrate.

We’ve had risings rates of mental illness for years. And these method of diagnose and prescribe is only making it worse.

There’s obviously benefits to medicine but we’ve gone insane with how we’re describing the mass amount of personal mental variance in the world as illness and trying to eliminate it.

These medications have lasting long term effects that are unknown. If kids that are the brightest are struggling to succeed change the rules not the kids. I learned more when I dropped out and studied what I love instead of following curriculum. We've got to have more varied paths towards success.

They used to serve a purpose, but now it's turned our academy into a dog and pony show. Where publish or perish reigns supreme. Everyone rushs paper, suicide rates in Academia are sky rocketing and most smart young people opt for tech or startups instead.

This is a incredibly contrived version of events. Whether Weinstein's theory is correct or not. He's had a career in mathematics and isn't a self proclaimed lone out cast genius. His peers recognize him and he's decided to do this outside of Academia for being burned in the past.

The US never believed this, the politicians told this story so they could get richer off trade deals and cheap labor.

Anyone who was critically thinking saw this coming a long way out.

That's a false trade off. You can load partial content. That's the big advance of html. UI as markup and you can stream the small required portions of a large app.

You could it's a really interesting idea. Synthetix and kwanta have done it with TSLA share price. It requires a liquidity pool to balance the asset. The liquidity pools are usually seeded with rewards from the companies that start them. They eventually find stability via automated market makers.

Debugging performance problems is the reason I stopped using `cljs`. Those stack traces are so painful.

Agreed. Same as 2008 crash. The executives that made these decisions are most likely ending up ahead on their fat salaries. We’ve got to hold decision makers accountable.

> Gaming consoles and PCs have not had an "iphone moment" after decades because their market is and always will be limited.

56% of US households have at least one gaming console.

Down votes cause of whole set of reactions. Many of which prompt further inquiry and research. Humans have a wide range of reactions to things. An analysis that lumps them into a narrow set of reactions is useless.

Our society has plenty of Elon Musks. Their being snuffed out by a academic system designed to churn out people can repeat "the correct answer". Heterodox thinking is a liability not an asset in Academia now.

Along with the fact that most people don't even have the option to take risk with the massive increase of cost of housing.

Our society has been designed to squeeze out cash flow and it's smothering our creatives.

You get rid of bad ideas by engaging with them, not by shoving them out of sight.

I thought this was going to be about machine learning. It would be really useful for generalizing Ml models as well

I have very similar issues. The key for me is looking at the behavior as a routine and pattern and replace it with a better routine and pattern. You need something to avoid the morning thought trap. The best way I’ve found to counter it is to have an immediate morning routine. For example: I set my running’s shoes and clothes out and the first the I do when my alarm goes off is put them on and go for a run. I’ve done the same thing with meditation as the first part of my day. The key is to pick an activity with minimal activity energy and to setup some visual cues of that activity near your bed. Don’t allow yourself to get pulled into you mind and brain. Eventually your new habit can replace the old one It’s not easy to transition but achievable with persistence and time. It starts out very hard to turn off that pattern. It eventually becomes natural to start your day a different way.

I’ll be honest, right now my routine is in rough shape after a bout of depression, but I’m at about 3-4 days a week and slowly building it up. This is a problem that comes and goes for me and focusing on a steady routine always helps.

I also recommend some meditation practice. On my worse days my mind is a mess of thoughts and dreams in the morning and I can’t make sense of the world much less the running shoes next to my bed. The way I get myself out of that is to bringing back my attention to my breath and body as mindfulness. Eventually I have enough awareness I can start to curl my body and prop myself up for a few minutes while I continue to collect myself.

If you know Tensorflow, hugging face is the best way to get started. It's got easy ways to transfer learn from the big models.

I admire this approach and have many colleagues who operated this way. But for someone who didn’t get into a top school and had to start with “low prestige” jobs and work my way up focusing on side projects was essential to my career. By showing I could take risks and learn emerging technologies I was able to make myself attractive to startup and on the bleeding edge and just spent the last two years working in my dream field of AI/ML.

If you’re young and believe in yourself more than society’s ridged idea of credentialism has don’t be afraid to buck the trend. I failed out of a mid tier college. And while my 20s has my been a stressful hodgepodge of jobs I was under qualifying for. A public track record of my ability to create something with emerging technologies has always meant someone is willing and excited to work with me.

It's unfortunate how few people on the inside don't see it this way. The slippery slope is real and we shouldn't start sliding down it just to beat Trump.

In that framing Tesla is already ahead in data collection. Pure numbers of cars dwarfs the advantage of lidar

The article doesn’t state it as merely PTSD. To ignore a probable and possible cause of symptoms is unwarranted.

Nonsense. We need to create a society that allows people outside the narrow band of “can sit focused on a narrow set of tasks” for 8 hours to have successful. Careers. Create space for the risk takers to take risks.

This is my biggest worry with UBI. Won't most of the extra wealth just be captured by rent-seeking?

I also learned to program on these things. Figured out how to make my BASIC program lead me to the TIGCC and machine code and ultimately took me from messing around with programs to falling in love with them.

The Bay Area has lost its' soul. I moved here to meet creative people tackling big problems and I've found it's no longer about innovation and risk. Just a big pile of uninspired B2B SaaS companies. SV has become a well oiled money making machine for these kind of companies. If you want to work hard and get rich you come here and follow the grind to get your checks, status, clout, etc...

I've found some creative people tackling big ideas, but they are exceedingly rare and largely unsupported by the community. I've met a lot more people who moved out here with big ambitions and have been railroaded down the route of conformity, which makes the most money for VC's. It leaves them without fulfillment or purpose as they grind on products they care little about. SV will continue to produce billion dollar software companies, but I doubt they will produce real innovation over the next few decades. The bay area has conspired to railroad its' potential for greatness towards profitable mediocracy.
