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).

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.

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.

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?

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.

Sweden appears to have a gun pipeline from the Balkans, while in Germany illegal firearms aren't as prevalent (as of yet). Statistics on knife killings would paint a different picture.

It's impossible to tell from the aerial perspective but the side of the pool with those stairs is extremely shallow (you would probably scrape your face on the bottom floor). This is basically the children's zone. There's usually a red barrier chain across the pool at the second to last column.

I'm guessing the outside lines are more popular in this pool.

You guessed right. The inner lanes are preferred by the casual swimmers.

You've been focussing on the most irrelevant part of my comment.

Nothing to do with being Polish in particular. Only that there is a connecting element that might help explain why these 3 decided to resign together on the same day.

My bet is that it could be all about some research directions that were "shielded" by Sam.

As far as I can tell, all three of them are of Polish descent. For all we know they might have decided to resign together even if only one of them had a personal issue with OpenAI's vision. We will find out soon enough whether they will just found their own competing startup, based on OpenAI's "secret sauce" or not.
