The problem here is that Assange didn't kill any people, while Uncle Sam has killed hundreds of thousands for oil, revenge, and preserving the hegemony.

Rapeseed oil for cooking is a staple in Germany. If erucic acid or its thermal products are the cause, there would also be many cases of lung cancer in Germany.

So, how does one unlearn "poverty mentality"?

Having grown up lower middle class with parents from a former Eastern bloc country, I feel that my mentality has very often held me back from taking risks in career, education and personal life, because there was no safety net to fall back on if the risky move wouldn't pay off.

I'm good at surviving with very little money or food, but at the age of 42, I feel now like I had let life pass me by, having never developed ambitions or passions, and living like a "rat", is also very unappealing to potential love interests.

I'm not sure about the "eco-sabotage" angle.

In the past, the same group that claims responsibility for this attack, conducted arson attacks on the public transport infrastructure accusing the train company of collaborating with the military-industrial complex or some similar farfetched excuse.

It seems to me like they just like to start fires and destroy things to cause chaos (under the pretense that there is a political justification for it).

How about a choker then (like a throat microphone)? Or perhaps bone conduction headphones?

The implication is that is the star system had potentially been artificially modified or even designed. Any entity capable of performing such a feat that must logically possess advanced technology. That's all.

Have you tried tweaking parameters like temperature, top_p, or seed value when sending the API request?

Beyond that and due to the probabilistic nature of the LLM response I'm not sure how a reproducible "matching" between chat interface and API could be achieved.

I'm working primarily with the API through my own wrapper and I noticed that I tend to give less detailed instructions than when I'm using the OpenAI chat interface often resulting in a less accurate response.

> I take the meds first thing in the morning and hope I'll be able get to sleep later.

This has been my crutch as well, basically setting an alarm for an hour earlier than I need to get up at, taking the pill from the nighstand and then trying to get back to sleep before having to get up for real at 7am.

Perhaps it was this comment (or from the discussion):

How do you handle falling asleep in the evening?

While my Elvanse dose is merely half of yours it always seems to affect my nervous system for much too long, keeping me unable to sleep before 3am on weekdays on the average.

Interesting thought. More than once I've heard the theory that the prophets of old (Moses, Jesus, Muhammad etc.), were actually schizophrenics and hearing voices. Only due to the superstition of the time they sometimes became regarded as holy men (or women like the case of Jeanne d'Arc) instead of being shunned, or, as we do it today, treated and medicated in order to suppress the symptoms.

As a person with diagnosed ADHD and employed (but struggling) in the IT field, I often think I would truly excel as a waste picker.

According to your opinion, which evolutionary advantage would something like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia provide to your group?

I would ask MrBeast if he is in fact the antichrist come to Earth, as his brazen moniker suggests, using the YouTube platform to corrupt millions of young people with the lure of money.

However, I suspect your service can not give me an honest answer to this burning question.

Tom Scott would be an interesting addition to the roster.

I think you could re-submit this as a general Ask HN question to get better visibility:

"How to find/identify a mentor at different stages of your career?" or "How to be a better mentor/mentee?"

I'd love to have a mentor as well, but I couldn't tell what I would have to offer to said mentor or how to compensate them for time/advice.

In my opinion, you should first be clear about your ambitions in your field of interest and how a mentor would even be able to help you.

The field of digital forensics is rather small (in comparison to general infosec)you could basically do it like an OSINT investigation:

- look up instructors or book authors in this field (Amazon, goodreads, pluralsight etc.)

- identify those who are active on social media (who are they talking to)

- become a fixture inside these circles

- identify local companies or meetups in this field

- connect with more experienced professionals in real life

- voice your wish to find a mentor

I didn't mean to insult you personally. It's this braggadocious attitude that I've encountered in a lot of bouldering gyms that I've visited, so often that I assume it must part of the subculture mentality.

I love the sport and the physical challenge but I don't buy into the whole weed-smoking "I'm so counter-culture, bro" self-image. It's like Crossfit but for hipsters with shitty tattoos.

More than once, it seems, I (as a noobie) have been in the way of some "bro", who took a date to the bouldering gym in order to show off in front of the woman and (pretending to assist) to feel her up.

Maybe it's different where you train. Is it?

There are a few discussions around this issue on https://community.openai.com/

The commonly recommended approach is to use an OAuth procedure: https://platform.openai.com/docs/plugins/authentication

I haven't yet done this myself, but maybe the links from above will help you solving the issue.

Also, have you tried asking ChatGPT itself?

What is it with this obnoxious 'alternative' frat bro attitude among indoor climbers?

It's not extreme metal, but if you've ever been to a guitar shredding performance or a prog rock show, you can attest that it's a sausage party.

On the other hand, male admiration can still increase reproductive fitness by generating wealth, fame and social contacts for the virtuoso.

> n.b. It's not, that's why it was possible for them to move on from Altman

That's only under the assumption that the split with Altman was due to the doomers vs bloomers conflict and not just a dirty move from OpenAI board member Adam D'Angelo, trying to protect his investment in Quora's AI Poe.
