You’ve made 4 posts in the last two years. If everyone were like you the platform would be dead. No need to be combative with random folks posting relevant stuff to the appropriate communities

If you live in a state where she can see you as a patient and time zones make sense, Meg Danforth at triangle cbt-i is by far the most capable sleep provider I have ever seen and specializes in treating insomnia, and I’ve seen a ton of sleep providers at this point (I have a circadian rhythm disorder but used to also have sleep onset insomnia). She may also be the best provider I’ve ever seen, in any speciality. Just looked up her new site (I used to see her through major hospital before she moved to her own private practice doing telehealth) and learned are only 150 cbti practitioners in the US certified by the board of behavioral sleep medicine, and she’s one of them. She’s also a grade A wonderful human.

Sending love, I hope you find a path to sleep that sucks less

Sleep issues suck ass, I’m sorry my friend. Sleep maintenance insomnia seems so much more challenging to treat than sleep onset insomnia

The reason this post connects with people is that it validates a very well understood connection between aging and difficulty sleeping

Turning around and invalidating people in response and telling people its their own fault is frankly silly. Just because you resolved your sleep/health issues by taking better care of yourself doesn’t mean everyone else struggling with sleep is just an unhealthy bum who should do better

Aging tends to bring with it sleep problems that aren’t caused by lifestyle factors associated with poorer health, and even in cases where someones health issues are because theyre not taking good enough care of themselves, telling those people its their own fault generally overlooks socioeconomic factors- it usually amounts to blaming people for being poor, or mentally unwell

Source: I have a severe sleep disorder and at 27, I’ve seen a multitude of sleep doctors (and am still searching for a Dr who is knowlegable enough about my condition to try and help me beyond what I’m already doing) and spent a fair chunk of my life at this point sitting across from one discussing sleep issues

Its worth acknowledging that Orion is proprietary, its based on WebKit but the browser isnt open source if thats relevant to you

I’m not awake when other people are due to a sleep disorder and similarly take solace in online interactions because I don’t get to interact with my IRL friends as much as I need for my head to be right

Keep pushing, I also have social anxiety and the more you engage the easier it gets. Finding a way to connect with people in spite of how hard it can be is something worth being very proud of

I’m glad you’re here my friend :) ❤️

❤️

That looks really nice, I’ll have to go give it a try!

I enjoyed this :)

Algorithms will occasionally turn up cool stuff but the best way is chatting with other folks who enjoy music. The algorithm of Spotify or yt music is often an easier place to find more music like what you already know you like. The more stuff you like, the more likely it is you’ll find stuff in common with other people and you can ask them for reccomendations based on what you enjoy :)

But just hearing what other people are really into is a great way to broaden your horizons and hear a bunch of different kinds of cool stuff you wouldn’t have found otherwise. I sometimes also like to look up the music that folks show in c/unixporn screenshots or that people mention in YouTube videos :) (oh, and sometimes you’ll hear something good as part of the music for a video, movie scoring, etc, thats always cool too)

Well thats not super helpful 😅

Thank you for the link!

Oh, you’re right, thanks!

Oh thats a good point

I don’t meant to he rude, but did you read the article…?

The statement that people are unhappy about ai is supported by poll numbers from multiple sources with different polling questions, and their primary point is that everyone hates data centers (which they do, because said data centers absolutely destroy water and electricity cost in every single nearby community as soon as they’re up and running)

You haven’t really engaged at all with what the source article is saying. It kinda feels like you just saw an article critical of ai, and vented your feeling that people are too critical without engaging with the substantiation the article provides for it’s anti-ai narrative

While I understand feeling on the outside when you’re getting value from this tool, and everyone won’t stop screaming about how much they hate it, but its not as though they dont have good reason to

may have legitimate concerns like the amount of precious resources used in manufacturing, the energy it consumes & climate impact, being trained on & mimicking others work without compensation

You know that mimmicing other people’s work without compensation is the only potential source of profit for the technology right? Thats its whole sell. So it comes with enormous existential costs, does a lot of harm to the social contract of creating and sharing things, has ridiculous environmental cost, and in exchange we get… A very unreliable source of info that presents hallucination with the same social ques of credibility as it does actual information, and the possibility of rich people making even more money at everyone else’s expense as they destroy utility rates, take intellectual property that isn’t theirs, and make a for-profit product out of it that can only succeed on the basis of that theft… That ain’t a great deal for anyone but the ai companies 😅

People have good reason to be angry about this technology being shoved into pretty much everything possible. It washes things of their human origin so they can be sold by a corporation without paying those humans, has a huge cost, and is wildly inconsistent in whether its helpful 😅 sure sometimes it is, but you should double check everything it says so you could just start with a regular source directly created by a human…

Dont even get me started on image generation, and how nauseating it is that people call it art (I say, as an art nerd who cares deeply about art, and understand that it is, at its core, the experience and product of thed deeply human need to make things).

And its not like the costs are hypothetical either, workforces have already been slashed

People are upset about the lack of regulation, the fact that these companies have been allowed to scrape everything ever and make a commercial product with other people’s creations without agency or payment, and wreck people’s already difficult utility costs 😅

Anyone have a gift link? I dunno if 404 does those but I’d love to read the article, and am sadly broke

Uhhhh, I don’t think pussy does that… /j

I wonder if folks are just trying to make the concept more accessible so they can be a visible problem to more people

Infinitely better than ai lol

I for one appreciate your integrity in trying to set things up such that they’re working properly before you pass the machine off to someone else

Best of luck my friend!
