all living creatures are selfish to the core and will always optimize to minimize effort and maximize personal reward , therefore existing in a soft gentle system will result in acclimatization to a soft gentle system ... this universe is hostile impersonal harsh brutal and altogether basically not a place that anybody could ever be prepared for after having congealed in an insular bubble like the global west ... it is enjoyable seeing everyone here utterly in denial about this ... reminds me of militant atheists lambasting religion and then doubling down when i suggest that maybe healthy community gathering and values is more important than whether or not god is real ...
while i am sure that google was completely indifferent when they made their search engine return worse results in the name of increasing profits , this action did serve to directly increase human suffering
an interesting demarcation of subjective mental encapsulation ... associating the anonymous type of a buffer with the buffer's name ... as opposed to explicitly specifying the type of an anonymously named buffer
literally everyone and everything has had the shit traumatized out of it on a daily basis since forever , if anything this overpathologization seems to be increasing trauma and hypersensitization
for that particular statistic to be relevant you would have to cross correlate against recent immigrants to australia and whether or not working from home is relevant to their places of employment , then you'd have to start factoring in a culture where laziness is valorized (in stark contrast to the work to death ethic presenting in say japan or america) , and at some point it should probably considered that australia has a world class social safety net ... on a personal basis it does seem likely that a similar outcome would occur globally , because the outcome was literally nothing ("no notable change among people who were not already dealing with mental health concerns") ... just trying to make the point that social science is extremely blind to confounding variables
im sure that any reasonably charismatic software engineer could scare the shit out of a judge/jury based on code analysis ... perusing the linked nasa document, recurrence odds of this particular failure mode do seem significantly greater than the odds of a cosmic bit flip ...
while i do fully expect your comment to get downvoted it is pretty funny and a great question when considering that australian society is probably not a relevant sample space to generalize against
im not sure if you are gonna get downvoted so im sticking a limb out to cop any potential collateral damage in the name of finding out whether the common inhabitant of this forum considers the idea of low trust vs high trust societies to be inherently racist
it would be of more interest personally to discuss the topic at hand itself rather than involve our personal opinions , so if you can't make your point another way this is where our ways part
a crumbling society is basically ideal for maximizing human stress and its various expressions ... or so dictated the deprecated term neurasthenia ... while many individuals are forced to deal with debilitating mental conditions , this situation is often incorrectly conflated with having experienced temporary behavioural breakdowns that later resolved (aka normal evolutionary response) ... this conflation wouldnt be such an issue if big pharma wasn't in the picture , overpathologization is definitely in somebodys best interests !
the technology to directly transmit audio without the need for headphones has been around for a while , for a recent implementation one could search up soundlazer
it is interesting to consider that at any point the thoughts in one's skull are not necessarily their own
it seems very clear to me that the inclusion of a singular religious reference does not justify labelling an entire excerpt as having religious over/undertones ... not sure what im missing
i feel like modern youtube just does not scratch the itch that youtube once scratched , it now feels like methadone replacement therapy. available viewing options have been reduced to either short form content or long form content , there is nothing between. i dont enjoy frying my brain with short form content and i dont have the attention span to watch bloviation with the express intent of stretching out video times to maximise revenue. honestly i feel like this applies to the internet as a whole , a facsimile of its former self being puppeted to achieve control. someone probably predicted this , right ?
1. using the company name to label an isolated incident
2. providing a link to the company research unit that directs to the main company page, forcing a second click to view the research unit
3. advertising the company's black friday sale
i have to say 1 pisses me off as it trojans an ad into an existing pattern (uniquely naming disclosures/exploits), 2 and 3 are both slimy but id probably be able to forgive the company if they only implemented one of those two points, as is this is a bit much
personally it has become clear that discussion involving good vs bad is inherently relative to personal frames of reference. in this logic , usage of 'should' degenerates an argument to a personal judgement.
a more professional and unbiased statement would be 'it seems to me that using tool X would mitigate problem Y in our pipeline, because of Z.' this amended statement maximises objectivity compared to the original.
but nobody is gonna spend their whole life delivering extended objective justifications when 'we should start using this tool' suffices for the most part. so i too don't see the value of questioning such benign conversational aspects.
why should experts dumb down their interpersonal discussion for perusal by the unaware ? if gatekeeping anything is weak , why is it ok to gatekeep virtue by stating that empathy and humility are obviously virtuous ? honestly some of the article's points are good but anyone capable of understanding and implementing these practices was probably not that egotistical to start with. I don't particularly enjoy the focus on dev egoism when the manager class is by design de-empathized (iirc commanding another human intrinsically down regulates empathy). anyway all of this ramble is definitely egotistical itself and that's intentional - everything is indeed so much bigger than us as individuals , without some form of separation we are liable to be subsumed.
drugging society is a method of proxying community responsibility , I personally completely understand why people react vitriolically to being told that drugs are not the solution , because without drugs we would have to help each other , and most people dont realize that cooperative multi tasking is the most efficient solution , or they give up because bad actors easily ruin functional cooperative societies , or they are lazy
we aren't fixing anything , humanity is happy enough to rely on bandaid solutions until the wound festers out of control ... no society didnt force you not to send that message you did that yourself and blaming a condition is inherently giving up responsibility for your actions ... i dont have the energy to rebut attacks on my language techniques any more , goodbye sir
yeah my point is that the western society should be changed and i dont know why you think that i think that speed should be taken away entirely but i dont think that
i mean it was funny the first time but you have to put some extra sauce on the bait if you want more bites , to be clear i never told anyone to settle i said i hope things settle around them because i believe adhd behaviours can be produced by chaotic environments
if you took an adhd cunt and threw him in the bush he would be fine ... but if you threw him into a cookie cutter hyper capitalist no-hope no-wife no-friends no-third-space doomscroll-to-death sealed box , that man wouldn't be fine! the man in question never changed , only his environment did. ergo , societal amphetamines are about as supportive as me handing you a set of crutches after i broke your legs. but trying to blame adhd on society is basically a copout as it reflects the way that society treats individuals ("here, take this speed and wreck your heart so that you fit better into the box we designed for you"). the only way forward is to through honest questioning as to why adhd diagnoses are thousands of times greater in the west, eg. maybe if we didn't get forced into a 9-5 schedule and instead had a bit more freedom , people would be more happy to devote energy to their work ...
