  • Because he's clearly suffering from PISD. Yes he needs help. He's seeing a counselor weekly. He's getting worse with that.

    This, what OP is going through ? That's normal. As my therapist said, she would have been far more worried if I didn't get the thoughts.

    Trauma is way harder to work through, and needs far more delicate care than depression. Depression is a symptom here, and his therapist will tell him to talk to a physician, OR if they determine he's a risk to himself, they will get him emergency care.

  • 5 months? Are you kidding me? I'm at 5 years, and it's still stinging despite intense therapy and medications.

    This shit is not quick. It's grief. His relationship, all that 9 years of marriage, etc. died. He might still need it, sure. But that is not what we're looking at here.

  • Bro. I am gonna be real with you.

    I was in an abusive relationship too. She cheated on me at 30 and blamed me. I am not going to sugar coat this.

    It will fuck you up for a great long while. This all happened to me in 2020. I've been through intensive outpatient therapy. I've lost 100 lbs.

    It still hurts when it comes to me. You are grieving. This ain't depression. 40% of men who experience an unfaithful long term marriage commit suicide. You are heartbroken. You are realizing this ain't you.

    It will get better. Little by little. And I still have a long ass ways to go. I'm not even officially divorced yet.

    I'm not going to give you advice, because the only thing I understand, is that I finally found me again, and I like that dude a hell of a lot more than I like who I was with my ex.

    But it's going to suck the entire time. The entire 5 years has sucked. But I finally see a light. There is a pinprick of light. I'm heading towards it. You can't see it yet. I understand. But it's there.

  • So no joke, vibe coding has other real world equivalents.

    I always struggled to explain how my ex cooked because it was always a toss up if it ended well, but she was definitely a "vibe cook."

    Recipe calls for searing? Fry it on a pan, flip it over fry it on the other side until cooked all the way through. Recipe calls for cream of potato? Cream of celery is fine. The only seasoning is pepper and salt? Eh, can't hurt to use mixed seasoning salt used for burgers. Saute? Nah, just throw it in a pan.

    Braised? Broiled? It's cooked.

    Ribs call for 18 hours on Low heat? 4 hours on high will do it.

    Vibe coding is a way to generate crap for people who are crap at coding and for users that are used to crap.

  • Hmmm.

    So EVs are pretty simple machines. I think we can all agree on that. Like I am not a mechanic and I can work on these things (well maybe not the tires).

    But the problem isn't just that a single component in these things sucks, it's the whole design. That being said, the motors, controllers, axles, sensors, etc, can't all be entirely custom. I would be willing to bet there is a fair amount of useful shit we could "borrow" from unsupervised and unwanted cyber trucks to rebuild them into something much much better.

  • I guess it depends on the steel parts. I'm sure there are other magnets.

    In any case, if the firing pin or hammer or anything in the trigger mechanism is steel, it's going to be difficult to move to actually fire.

    Say the bullet has a steel tip or core though, and we are able to fire it. The force pulling that bullet is going to prevent the bullet from going much of anywhere. Let's pretend the barrel and firing chamber are frictionless and indestructible.the bullet will leave the gun, but immediately curve into the magnetic field, inevitably into the MRI itself, but likely not very far.

    It would be pretty fun to watch though.

  • Sorry for the necro on this - but I like to read past threads and see if I pick up new information.

    It turns out I can't see an apple in my mind, not exactly. There is a very brief moment where an apple manifests for like a single frame, but the image is gone the next tick.

    I believe this classifies as aphantasia. Interestingly, the "concept" of the apple remains. I can "feel" the entirety of what the apple is, just not see it.

    At the same time, when I recall strings of text or numbers it is always a image of when I saw it. I also have an internal monolog that others don't. Brains am weird man

  • It concerns me from a standpoint that is similar to Oceangate - the engineers are probably aware something is going wrong, but money is getting the final say. Then the people on one of these things end up dying, and it won't be Musk.

    I'm also concerned because this lax approach to engineering is becoming more apparent in the private sector. Engineers have a very difficult job -traditionally balancing budget, schedule, and quality. But we also are vital in ensuring regulatory compliance, safety, disposal, process, efficiency etc.

    Engineer salaries, however, have stagnated like the rest of American workers. It's true we still get paid better, but compared to how much the salary got you in the 80s-90s, we get much less.

    Private sector engineers are largely not PEs as we're shielded by our employers. We are more worried about being laid off than fucking up a project to the point lives get risked.

    Part of this is why I chose to no longer work on systems that can cause injuries/ harm to a user. If I'm doing that, I can assume I'm not alone. If those of us consciously avoiding it because of fears of hurting users, it might mean that the ones working on the systems aren't motivated by safety of the user.
