deadlast2··on Ask HN: What has worked for you to address burn out?
Try playing a video game. So stop working for a while and just play a game. I stopped working and started playing Diablo IV. The idea was to get to level 100. My reasoning was this I wanted to remember what it felt like spending a long time doing something I enjoyed. It is repetitive like coding can be but I enjoyed it. Got to 100. Then did a few more characters and then wanted to get back to work.
deadlast2··on Ask HN: Has your YouTube usage decreased?
For me my usage has decreased a lot. I used to keep current with my subscriptions. I do check youtube often to see if there is anything I want to watch but I don't think I have watch anything in weeks. Since this addblock thing started I find the site off-putting.
deadlast2··on Canadian cannabis market struggles five years after legalisation
The uni-party in Canada is Just a load of creeps putting profit before health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6591881/

This is obviously poison. If you smoke you will tend to buy and use too much and I am telling you it has a massive impact on your mental and physical health.

No matter what cost to the users of this crap as long as there is a buck to be made for the creeps and their buddies in the eternal circle jerk it will remain legal.

Stopping migration/immigration from poorer to richer countries would be an even better solution. Stopping all long haul air travel would even be better. If you are being honest you know this will never be solved because no one believes it.

Suggested enhancement: An icon beside articles like this showing that it is behind a paywall.
deadlast2··on Ask HN: Are people in tech inside an AI echo chamber?
Maybe there are multiple echo chambers, left, right climate change, ai doom, crypto... we tend to gravitate towards these because we like to get opinions that closely match our current one.

deadlast2··on The Original AI Doomer: Dr. Norbert Wiener
I remember when the internet started I was telling a friend of mine she should look for a new career. She works as a travel agent. I was convinced the internet would relace all those jobs. You know she still works as a travel agent.
deadlast2··on Statement on AI Risk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mViTAXCg1xQ I think that this is a good video on this topic. Summary Yann LeCun does not believe that LLM present any risk to humanity in their current form.
deadlast2··on Ask HN: Are you still doing intermittent fasting?
Been doing it for the last six months... I lost no weight for months.Found I was eating sweets and cakes on my days "on" which more than made up for the fast. Also be warned when you fast there is a marked reduction in your intelligence hard to explain but you will notice it if you start looking. Could be because I am a little older 53 but I think I can correlate the reduced performance directly to the fasting. Still keeping at it and I will tell you why it is simple an easy way to eat and over the long term if you keep at it works.
deadlast2··on When programming is gone, will we like what’s left?
Working a long time as a programmer. I have never seen a computer do anything but multiply jobs. This will do the same. IMO the way programming is done will change will need more domain experts and less code monkeys.
