These people are successful.
mansoon··on Ask HN: How to Deal with ChatGPT Anxiety?
As do I.
mansoon··on Ask HN: How to Deal with ChatGPT Anxiety?
“It simply (!) has accumulated a wealth of information that it chooses the best answer for. Of course, that is very impressive but a thinking machine it is not.”

I’m very confused. I don’t think I’m different than this.

mansoon··on Ask HN: How do I know that I am autistic?
Do you have a name?

I find this framing useful: https://neuroqueer.com/neuroqueer-an-introduction/

Plural systems exist.

It’s about control.
mansoon··on Running everyday to escape stresses may lead to dependence not mental wellbeing
I love it.
mansoon··on Ask HN: Do we exist, other than in a metaphorical sense, to ourselves?
As a thought that's an approximation of what we think we're experiencing as we express.
mansoon··on How do we experience the pain of other people?
How else would you overcome the basic risk of doing anything?
mansoon··on Why developers never use state machines (2011)
And yet they’re doing it.

This idea that modular code matters is bullshit.

Enterprise fizz buzz or spaghetti nightmare.

Learning things isn’t the point, talent is.

Speaking as someone who used to think this stuff mattered, then realized they’d just been wasting their life, instead of isomorphically rearranging thinking patterns on the deck of the trendtanic.

mansoon··on How do we experience the pain of other people?
And also most joy.
mansoon··on Do Large Language Models learn world models or just surface statistics?
Your intuitive understanding is an illusion.

The boundaries of lucidity are more fluid than you can imagine.

Downvoters: you do not understand the depths of what can be taken.

Oh but the help you'll get.

I'd recommend avoiding talkspace.

And for the love of god, if a therapist isn't working for you within 3 sessions, For fucks sake don't "stick it out".

You're worth it. Get the help you deserve, not what the system is willing to give you on it's first try.

There's nothing worse than a therapist that you know isn't listening to you, and you keep going, because your actual problem is that you can't tell the difference between what's your fault and what's not.

And they never let you or helped you get there.

And you could see it. And you knew that was your fault.

So you didn't say anything.

And besides, you were a rich tech bro, he was employed on a gig platform. He's more economically dependent, ergo he deserves help, ergo I'll stick with him and try to be an easy client.

This is the product of a diseased mind that can't fucking stand up for itself.

So. Fuck TalkSpace.

And whoever reads this. Yes. Find someone else. It's not your responsibility to stick with a therapist that isn't working for you.

If you've gone through five therapists, maybe you're the problem, I don't know. Then open that box.

But you have _my_ permission, to go through five therapists before asking yourself that question.

You also have my permission to ignore that, and believe that you can go through any number of therapists.

I affirm your right to choose.

It always comes down to absolutes, if you're sifting the question finely enough (warning, at some point this process will distort the grains, and you won't be processing reality anymore, but the result of your own mind, the cycle is fatal).

Anyway. This moment is a _very_ direct test of this question. Answering it, or more carefully, your emotional reaction on reading this, will expose some of your absolutes.

Is someone diagnosed with Schzophrenia allowed to disagree with you?
mansoon··on WEF speaker touts tech that allows your boss to monitor your brain activity
I do not hold those views, but I respect your right to state that you have them, and be met with an understanding that that is the case, and that I don't have the right to change your mind by violence.
mansoon··on Tell HN: Sometimes you don't realise how bad something is until you leave
Haha

This is regularly deprived for the mentally ill.

Either humans have this right or don't.

mansoon··on Tell HN: Sometimes you don't realise how bad something is until you leave
I would just like to die now.

I wish I’d left.

It can get bad if you stay. Take everything.

mansoon··on Tell HN: Sometimes you don't realise how bad something is until you leave
Up to a point.
mansoon··on Rust in 2023: Growing Up
We are not gui yet.

Went through something similar. Just want to die most of the time now.
mansoon··on I've procrastinated working on my thesis for more than a year
Love more hopelessness coming at me.
mansoon··on How the blog broke the web (2017)
Bidirectional channel.

TCP.

But with respect to the shared net. The experience that makes a dent in the fabric of reality as shared or known by all, personalizes the universe to a subdomain.

Once I had the words. Now that’s gone too.

This works perfectly for my wife.

I once believed in real relationships.

They’re just ideas running through meat.
