Hmm shameless plug but I recognised this specific phenomena a long time ago and I made a Chrome extension to selectively hide negative content on feeds and the general web. Because I still get value from feeds, just not certain types of con

Can you elaborate on this phenomena?

Could you share? I'm looking to use something like this.

I would characterise surrender and acceptance as very similar. So in your case you accepted the situation, which I would call surrendering to the universe, or to reality. But yes, in no way am I suggesting that one joins a religion or a spi

Fair enough, it does sound like he's having some pretty severe mental health problems from those additional details. I care for your friend, if you can relay some of this advice to him when he's feeling better, it would be benefic

Pharmaceuticals are at best a temporary weeks or months long bandaid. Any duration longer than that using pharmaceuticals to treat mental health is likely to cause brain damage. Non-pharmaceutical ways are, drinking spring water, eating hea

A perspective different to others in this thread. As someone who has been in your roommate's position before. Unless he was physically violent to you, you calling the mental health team (and therefore the police) on him escalated this

One doesn't need to distance themselves from the origins of all this literature on meditation and self-realisation. Taking only the scientific bits and discarding the rest is a very partial view.

I'm looking to calculate jerk from accelerometer data, I'm assuming this would be the perfect use case?

Just what I've been looking for. Will you support filtering images too? And any chance of this being open source?

I've gotten this as well, on very short code snippets. I type in a prompt and then sometimes it doesn't respond with anything, it gets stuck on the thinking, and other times it gets halfway through the response generation and then

Are you saying it's free? How can you do that when it's rate limited to only 20rpm?

The reality is that these thoughts and voices are just coming from the subconscious of humanity as well as from greater existence, which includes spirits, both positive and negative. If people grow up in a western context where people frequ

That's probably the best we can do for now with LLMs. Surely it would be unreasonable for LLMs to provide a correct answer when the majority of people on various forums also provide the wrong answer. Some day LLMs will be able to objec

US: Has a gazillion military bases around the world and encircling China. Commenter: "That's totally not evidence of being more militaristic, US just has more friends" You just contradicted yourself. Having more military base

Sounds like the plot of Deus Ex Human Revolution. I hope we don't go into that future.

It's because LMSYS is an aggregate elo across a range of different tasks. Individually in some very important areas, Claude Opus may be better than GPT-4 by 50-100 elo points which is quite a lot. However there are specific domains whe

Seasons are reversed, so that winter in the Northern Hemisphere is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. But our holidays and working calendar is the same as in the Northern Hemisphere. So whereas Americans are celebrating Chris

I recently realised this too, while trying to integrate moon phases into my app. The ASCII emoji names for the 1st and last quarter moon are completely reversed and that makes complete sense since we're technically upside down. ( ||) F

He never suggested that the influx of newbies should change the existing culture, precisely the opposite. The existing culture doesn't do a good enough job of helping onboard the newbies in a gentle way that integrates them. Instead, t

I would second not looking at fiction. So much of the cultural morés around relationships come from what we see in media and so much of it is just wrong and designed to create excitement through dramatisation and negative archetypes. We sub

And I'd also like to add that psychological hacks and tricks, from books like "Never Split The Difference" and "How to Win Friends and Influence People" don't really work in an effective way. The best way to na

I wouldn't recommend reading more books, psychology, theories or how to step guides. I've been in your shoes, good awareness but still offending or rubbing people the wrong way despite genuinely not intending to. I recommend a mor

No problem, you didn't put me on the defensive, I was making the down vote comment in general, not to you.

Can you provide a reference? I wanna see this.

In another comment I talked about how I observed a phenomena similar to the one described where neuronal activations would create waves, I've quoted it here. I would summarize it as 3D waves of light, resulting in a spherical enamation

I'm not talking about the vague flow of amorphous material, I can perceive that too but it's not what I'm referring to. I made a follow up reply where I describe specifically what this phenomena is and my hypothesis on the me

I'm not talking about the general effect of meditation which is to relax the body and increase the flow throughout the body. I was talking very specifically about this concept of spherical expanding waves of light. To make an analogy,

No I'm not. Please see my other comment where I make a physical analogy to why spherical expanding waves of light may be healing and restorative.

I deliberately didn't use the word "see" when phrasing my response. I used the word observed because it was an observation, not a seeing. And I'm not describing a flow of vague amorphous whitish material, I know what you
