I don't know why I get so much hate for saying this and people find it so hard to accept, but I'll say it again. The term for a formal disease of the mind, as used by the medical practice, is currently "mental disorder."

Yes, there are. Dude, if you use this term, someone out there is going to associate it with "Mullenweg has a diagnosed illness for which therapy or drugs may be appropriate." You may not like this, but it's a fact. This fact

Good information, thank you!

I am only entreating you to be accurate about the terminology used. Due to its historical use by psychologists the term mental illness is generally thought to be synonymous with mental disorder, which is the modern term that refers to a sp

I've always wondered about these two. Dunwoody is a retired Army general. Decker insofar as I can tell is one of the suits who ran Yahoo into the ground. As a platform technology company why would you want these people on your board? I

Let's leave the diagnoses to the doctors please. The guy was public about being under a lot of stress and that's fine and salient to acknowledge. But it's misleading to use medical terminology unless you're actually his

I mean, I can't stop people from emailing me. I get over a hundred non-spam, non-mailing-list emails on some days. I'm not able to respond to most of them. I'm often not expected to, I'm just being copied in as a FYI. Th

Using Work/Codex I'm continually amazed at how far my experience is from the popular AI memes like "this will destroy all jobs" and "AI is useless and is about to crash and take the economy with it." My experie

If you use Android, honestly try Fdroid. It's great. I mean there are obviously huge gaps, you're not going to find banking apps, and there's going to be less polish in a lot of cases. BUT NONE OF THE APPS ARE EVIL. Fdroid ha

This sounds like another one in those class of arguments that are essentially "We can't let users accidentally harm themselves on the devices they own." While I appreciate ergonomics and sensible defaults, ultimately I don&#x

If the agent's changes are terrible, the first thing I would look at is not the agent itself, but the context: spec, scope and prompting. We generate an AI branch immediately every time a spec is completed. It then gets a brief review

Right. I actually do the inverse of the OP's advice. As much as possible, pooping is the ONLY time I use the phone. If the only time you budget for mindfulness is a couple minutes on the toilet, you're doing it wrong.

Everyone's tolerance and ideal routine is different. For me, it's: - One cup of coffee in the morning, optional tea while it's still light out - Sunlight exposure within a half hour of waking - 10-15 minutes reading some fict

Well, let's give the author the benefit of the doubt and try not to regard his article or its ideas in a subtractive fashion either; there's more here than the headline. There's a lot of woo around meditation and mindfulness,

I think a lot of it has to do with the desire and pressure to publish as fast as possible. Online, EVERYTHING is rushed and even published before the facts are known. The story may or may not get updated as the situation develops. Outside o

We intentionally use both Codex and Claude on our team so that we can compare and contrast. We are reasonably serious about delivering work that has been reviewed and tested with humans who are at a minimum steering that process, at maximum

Willpower's not the solution. When we isolated cocaine from the coca leaf for the first time, the world pretty much went insane. In those first years people were injecting it into their eyeballs and spines. The most popular beverage on

In the 90s I knew a guy in high school who walked around the school in a black trenchcoat with portable speakers tucked inside that were continuously playing Western movie themes. I can only imagine how that bit of creativity would go over

Why does it need to grow? Not trying to be a curmudgeon here, I'm just trying to explain the philosophy because I think it's totally alien to some people. And I mean actually this HAS grown. Just pointing out that as far as I stil

They realize it's "unworkable for 90% of users" and they don't care. Part of the Indieweb philosophy, like Libre software, is to "scratch your own itch" - no one's paying you. You do the stuff that's

This is purely my experience but the difference between reading a good book vs consuming any other kind of media has been night vs day. I don't think any long article has thoroughly altered my perception about something important in my

Far be it from me to defend Big Food, but let's play devil's advocate for a moment, just facts with no LLM slop. Hyperbole aside they created a new product category which has less milk fat, and adds more air and gum/gelatin.

We launched an AI feature and there was immediate blowback in the form of negative feedback. We then rebranded it as "Advanced Search," kept the sparkle icon and everything, literally just a find-and-replace of instances of "

Thanks guys! It's happening! We can see it! The future is somewhat legible and in it we don't all die! (Well we do, but mostly for the usual reasons) We just gotta keep getting out of bed and making a smart choice or two between n

Honestly I am burned out on public discussion of AI. There are so many hot, low info takes on both sides. All the dumb stuff revolves around this imbecilic notion that AI will take your job. In that sense Altman and Dario et. al. were extre

It needs to be said that this article was written by the Browser Choice Alliance, which is funded by another convicted monopolist, namely Google. So this is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black, and the conflict of interest is obvious;

Yes 100% this. A lot of people keep talking about how OpenAI and Anthropic will need to raise their prices. What is less discussed is how they CAN'T raise their prices because competition exists, and sure it's not SOTA, but it&#x2
