The last MD-11 crash with deaths was in 2009 and the last DC-10 kerfuffle was when their unapproved replacement parts fell on the runway and killed the Concorde. I wonder if flight…

Awesome idea, for some reason I've never thought about using MVC patterns with LLM prompts. I got carried away and tried implementing this with ASP.NET Razor components, imagining …

Bookworms are such a curious people, I love reading their pop-evo-psych-theory-of-everything articles and counting up all the occult references and hidden meanings. Waiting for a d…

Hmm - preservers, creators, and destroyers doing their jobs. Is this not what a healthy, functional society looks like, at least in any philosophy grounded in (albeit painful) real…

The book Hatred, Emptiness, and Hope by Otto Kernberg (a key Object Relational scholar) goes over all the latest advancements. Some people also are talking about Cloninger's phylog…

I've yet to find a reputable, established psychology scholar that actually believes psychology is a serous science. The drug pushers, actuaries, and politics/industry folk do enjoy…

The problem with this philosophy is that we have brain scan studies, phylogenetic, developmental, neuroscience, and thousands of pages from established experts on psychology that d…

Emergency responders have to deal with what I'd imagine the typical person would consider traumatic but we've agreed that their jobs are necessary in order for society to be effica…

I wouldn't necessarily consider 'always loved' a precondition to health. In some psychological literature, a necessary requirement to raise a mentally healthy adult is having a 'fr…

A significant portion of people committing suicides (no one knows how much %) are likely to be clinical or subclinical Borderlines. This population isn't shy because they criticall…

>synchronization of brain patterns in situations involving power dynamics between individuals An extreme example of this might be the abusive Narcissist/Borderline couple dynamic. …

I've been doing some budget digital nomad for several years and the most boring part of it is having to re-explain what I do for a living every time I meet someone - oh why does ev…

A strange proposition considering this is the current state of affairs for the current generation below age 25 - casual sex and uncommitted relationships (Lisa Wade). 60% of this p…

> categorical thinking of many sorts really get my goat This also makes my blood boil, should we share so much in common somehow. Race (still) has nothing to do with any of the GWA…

That would be a British invention.

They discovered that the population is quite diverse but that means everyone has a role in society, and that society couldn't possibly function without the psychological and physic…

I've been following the state of affairs ever since the very first GWAS on humans was published not too long ago. The studies were a little shocking at first, but really it's more …

I'm still surprised by their generous free tier, I have a database of 300k embeddings on Pinecone and it's only 10% full by their metrics. Now, I'm only averaging a request every o…

The "security hole" was anyone could use search inurl:example.com/documents and get five pages of results with SSNs, credit card numbers, etc. plus the reputational damage of leads…

At a previous SaaS startup I worked for, we stored a bunch of clients' documents somewhere on e.g. example.com/documents - which included confidential items like checks and contrac…

I own a Honda Acty van and I have met a ton of people with other kei trucks here in Nebraska and outside of the state. It seems like every other person with an acreage owns a kei t…

I use a custom babbage model fined tuned using the original whisper transcripts as the prompt and the fixed transcript as the result. It does a very good job at correcting common j…

I am using GPT-3 with babbage as the base model for the purpose of fixing common transcript errors for a professor's lectures and decorating the text. With about 100 lectures havin…

They've been developing this on-the-fly since it gained popularity (and profitability). Basically, they ran fast and broke things, like any good startup. I'm nearly 100% certain th…
