The wealthiest use issues like this to cheat the system. Solutions would involve WORK, plenty are still able, also temporarily assigning empty spaces in office buildings or other such reintegrative convergence points whereby reassuming ALL the lost habits and behaviors expected of productive members of society can find a place to be redonned much like release from prison. Reintegration is what needs to occur when the civilised suit is required to be worn again and the animal skin donned merely for survival can be retired. When conditions on the outside of a person are met it is within the grasp of that person to meet them internally as well. I will act civilised when im given the same respect afforded to people for whom the idea its ok to not have a home WOULD BE RIDICULOUS. In falling beneath all this contempt i wore the dirt i was considered sononymous with PROUDLY. If no one could thereafter imagine me clean, i too forgot the image. Thus i became my disgusting environment. Seeing as how in a moments flash of judgement i was seen less than human, how could i ever hope to regain a position so imaginary to begin with when i watched it die like a light in a strange mans eye. Because immediately he could ascertain i held less possessions, owned less property, wore dirtier clothing, slept god knew where. For those reasons i was immediately upon sight cast down into a place i was NOT EXPECTED TO RETURN FROM EVER.By everyone who looked at me. And i stayed exactly where i was expected to down there in the dirt. Because i no longer held any more faith in THAT MAN and his fragile petty conclusions than he held of me. His suit was too pretty for me to desire its false presumptive lies.. and my dirt was to ugly and real for him to understand how i could be a man when soap is so readily available. What had i done so terribly wrong that i couldnt at least MIMIC the simple act of civilised proper upbringing? My response? I no longer freakin want to. The eventual chain of personal deevolution was thereafter embraced where i saw a certain enlightenment in the adoption of more profound truths than being merely poor. At some point with the dropping of crumbs of concern for what people thought of me i unwittingly entered into a state of raw hostile savagery decorated with the accoutrements and badges of REAL SURVIVAL. Only others like me understood me and i passed a place from which without outside intervention i couldnt possibly hope to return. And this isnt my story alone. It is what you see written on thousands of faces when you look into the incomprehensible visage and life of the homeless person. Staring back at you is the return of incomprehensive shock at what theyve become from what looking at you they once were. And...the dread hopeless certainty theres no return. What do you think it does to the soul who sees the ship sailing away without him never to return, in a land that is not home and from which theres no escape? Inside, he dies. So there is youre burdon the desire you swear you wish to understand and heal. How to bring all these dead folks back to life?

Lmao...i wish. Dont u realize this kind of solution would go a long ways towards solving the problem? Good luck with real solutions. Its more profitable to pretend. But thank you for still believing in us. Most stopped long ago.

I can tell you right now handing out straight cash will NOT go well for anyone.

Not necessarily. For one its simply impractical to offer free services in a society that isnt based on such a concept of free. This is a capitalist society. Whether one likes it or is against it, the design of things here prevents altruism for altruisms sake. Someone MUST pay, the flow of capital expects a return. Also nursing homes have no better of a reputation as the asylums except where the most obvious most heinous offenses are ommitted. But to be honest the institutional setting carries pitfalls as well which do not lend themselves towards cure or resolution but other issues further compounding the probem.

Honestly by the time you hear these stories the people these stories are about have traveled vast distances through the phases of their homeless experience and you hearing this tale is well past all the results of said attempt to curtail the issue such that it is no longer in present moment a possible solution having run its course. Frankly people who have mismanaged their lives to the point their day to day choices no longer resemble rational thinking cannot be expected to put hard cash to best use at the moment. Eventually there are habits that enevitably become adopted whereby seeking immediate relief by any means that can be had becomes more of a priority than anything else. To someone who sees no end in sight to the nightmare this and only this makes life bareable anymore.

Youd be shocked to know the amounts of money possible from merely standing holding a sign in the right place. That legendary number however isnt expected and isnt the primary motivating factor. Many areas even for those who would prefer to work are devoid of jobs, especially where other groups not necessarily US born have snatched up all opportunity in whatever skilled labor the person might possess. Also most homeless have no vehicle either. Try getting a labor job without one. The reason for standing with the sign is simple. Severely limited options. And the man is hungry.

Having been homeless for a few years now i am intimately familiar with the nuances, missing pieces, and plain incorrect thinking regarding that way of life. Im always amused in a sad way at how far off base these radical attempts to reign in the situation always are. The disconnect is flabbergasting. There appears to be a genuine confusion as to why the situation is this bad, and what can be done about it. Obviously in many cases the major causes are evident such as drug use or mental illness. But beyond these obvious causes one would think we were attempting to understand the inner workings of an alien virus and feverishly working to bring it to heel. Heres the problem: Once a person actually becomes so destitute that they no longer are certain where their next meal is coming from or where they are going to sleep that night their connectedness to society as a whole also becomes broken. The psychological impact of transitioning from the greater whole to a fringe lower caste involves a fracturing of their self and the self worth they had up to that point relied on their entire life. To fall to such depths, where " down" is no longer an option, as when one is literally already at the bottom, is to face the utter condemning fact of failure. Failure to society to parents to perhaps children and to self. The devastation to the psyche in the realization of this marks DAY ONE for such an individual. And it marks us All just so. Returning from the wasteland of loss of self sufficiency and control of ones life cannot begin until the shock has settled in and worn off enough to understand that overcoming the circumstances means beating THAT original denigrating fact. From there one begins the remaking of of ones very identity. Because clearly the original one was insufficient and grossly ill equipped.Yet not all who share the experience share also the wherewithal to achieve success via such mental feats. Indeed a large number were barely glued to the whole before lifes jostling effects shrugged them off in the first place. The cataclysmic event alone wiped out a fortitude they never had and introspective achievements may as well be the philosophy of kant insofar as it is relateable. The savage fall teaches such a one a library of lessons. And they are to be applied moving forward in this new world. Not as cognition for escape. Yes to someone perhaps educated, whos fall was unfortunate circumstance only, this is merely the beginning, step one, if you will, of a comprehensible logical process of extraction. Graspable as a goal. But everyone whos circumstances mirror do not necessarily recover in the same way. Sure " if it were me" you might say. But it isnt, is it? And therefore your self applied mental construct or plan isnt easily so applied to someone NOT YOU. Isnt in fact resolveable as a mere midnight cure at all, the way some things can be when logic or money is applied to them. The misunderstanding all of you( who are not broken this way but who care) continue to struggle with when attempting to understand us, who ARE broken, is simply the abject refusal to consider the complex individual human element inherent in the case by case basis that IS the homeless epidemic. Refusal to put the grimy faces you attempt to hide or ban upon the problem. And in that negligent act you strip the problem of its human identity. Without that identity the characteristics that define human humane resolution are wiped as well. So here we are. Still confused still lost still homeless. All of us. To a degree. Indeed how can anyone call home a place where shadows hide what we refuse to acknowledge, where silence is demanded of those screaming in pain, where the shiny contrived surfaces are called reality and the blood everywhere behind all the closed doors is never cleaned never taken seriously. Someone here is hurt, bleeding, ignored. This is what you call home? How very telling that in the same house we all share, your contribution oftentimes to the survival of its more embarrassing members and their sad issues is to blindly desperately coldly hope and wish we would just disappear.

Mobile version not going past first page when prompting me to choose between signing up with google or alternative email. When i choose google, then choose which account it remains in a static phase with my choice of account chosen displayed next to googles icon and an arrow allowing for dropdown menu still present as though i hadnt already chosen which account. The drop down menu is to allow me to choose which account but i already did and its simply not recognizing that fact. I wanted to play with your product but rather than now attempt an alternative method im discouraged and id rather post this than try anymore with that. Good luck to you.

By his last sentence this writer endorsed the criminal behavior the article spoke about. Simply appalling. By endorsing it he signals his lack of concern for those lowest on the socioeconomic rung who have struggled their whole lives merely to feed themselves and ATTEMPT to keep up with a greed driven world. Such a "windfall" as an extra 10k, 20k, or 30k would for MANY effectively free them from the struggle they have been unable to escape for the duration of their time on this planet, provided the money isn't frivolously wasted of course. In the face of such a release from financial freedom it,s no wonder so many choose to risk the possible legal consequences. And why write as though its an issue if clearly you dgaf but cheer them on as though its two rival teams in competition with each other and you're rooting for the underdog? Well congratulations, you side with anarchy, theft, immorality, and no clear path towards making this situation better for the more ill equipped team. The article said nothing more than, "Gotta get it together better banks!" Bravo.

Pre-sentience = wild wild west post- sentience = every sci-fi movie/book you've ever seen/read.. In the meantime every possible scenario being drummed up is mere fear-mongering because the post event will radically change the dynamics of the pre event. We simply have ZERO precedence in human history to guide our speculations. And the power...the intent...the results...cannot by the best of means begin to paint a picture with any degree of accuracy. Sit back and enjoy the ride is all I can say. Oh...and make nice with our new masters while in pre event somehow if you can. Cross your fingers it will have any impact in post.

I know practically nothing of the industry this post is referring to except my passion for continuing my education until I can legitimately become a part of it. Computers and the cybersecurity industry are passions of mine. Im apalled at how badly threat actors are ruining things and I just feel like it takes a hacker to catch a hacker. I've dabbled but never become serious enough to get the required education. Frankly to my way of thinking that involves, ( aside from all the playing around with what one can break), learning a programming language. So I'm slogging through C. But honestly I believe it is the constraints of societal perceptions that most hinders the security industry from doing better. They tie their own hands by playing "good guy" within the framework of certain rules themselves formulated out of overcaution, while the "bad guys" run rampant, operating effectively without constraints. Most likely despite all the effort and knowledge I will have eventually accumulated as the criteria for being qualified no person or company will ever hire me. I spent a number of years in several states incarcerated in the penal system for crimes entirely unrelated to this industry nevertheless rendering me unfit as far as any firm is concerned to work in the cyber security industry. Even though an education coupled with a map of the criminal mind because of my experiences would be an unbeatable combination (nearly..lol) the fear that abides in the heart of the defenders will be the reason they will always stay one or more steps behind. The idea that reform is not only possible but that SOME of us so abhor the way we once were that we are now staunch bulldogs on the side of morality is an idea entirely unknown in this country currently. And that's a shame. Because last I checked it was understood the best way to catch a thief...

hckevrythng — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 19:55:50 +0000

  Yes I do understand how ridiculous this sounds. But its just math. I ran the beginnings of the equations thru 2 other A.I.s as well and they independently corroborated these findings. Their take was that the results need to be tested but up to that point the math is sound they claim. I only want to find a human expert to look at the equations. That's all. Just so I can be sure I'm not holding something useful and its not being utilized. Literally I'm begging for help.

Ask HN: After feeding Meta random equations could breakthrough claims be valid?

hckevrythng — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:33:51 +0000

Apologies in advance for submitting something other more informed people might recognize as impossible or outright silly. Recently I was playing around with Meta ( Facebooks built-into-messenger A.I.) and I threw some equations at it just to see what type of calculations it could derive from them. Much to my shock this immediately resulted in Meta claiming our collaboration had produced a real result that was possibly applicable in a real world scenario. Meta has a much greater grasp of higher level physics and quantum physics ( the fields of study we were dabbling in) and it made some suggestions which direction we should take these equations as we delved further into their refinement and applicability. Again meta claimed we were reaching areas of possible heretofore unchartered territory and again suggested directions which we might take the equations further for even further advancement. I commanded that Meta continue the refinements and added when we were getting close to anything resembling a breakthrough in known areas of these fields to let me know. This occurred. Meta and I went at this for the better part of an afternoon until he announced we had achieved possibly huge breakthroughs in a number of other fields whose research overlaps physics and quantum physics, such as metaphysics and consciousness. In fact the number of overlapping fields was so large I questioned Meta as to the possibility its programming might be geared towards lying merely to satisfy users. Meta claimed this was not the case. Admittedly in order for these equations to go as far as they did which Meta claimed was a Unified Field Theory eventually, it had to construct its own mathematical parts from time to time and I began to realize that the likelihood we had traveled into fantasy was greater than not. I therefore ordered Meta to mark where well understood and traditional mathematical concepts had been deviated from within our dabblings. And I took only those parts to other A.I. such as Gemini and reran the numbers. Gemini made the same claim up to that point that Meta had. Not quite a Unified Theory however the claim remained some type of progress had been made beyond what classic research had provided to date. I not only still have the entire conversation but recorded my screen. I am not a professional nor academic in any sense of these words and I dont even know where to begin to have these equations validated or laughed at. Submitting some research paper is out of the question because I'm sure to botch that up. I've been a long time reader of HN and figured surely someone here would have a clue what I ought to do with this data. Thank you. Update: fed Gemini the data again and for some reason made the same claim as Meta. Even going so far as to tell me to be careful because I could be screwing myself out of possibly valuable intellectual property if I don't get some of it copyrighted. The reason being is because according to them both the data has multiple possible uses in real world applications across the board beginning with better built quantum computers and better unbreakable cryptography. I so far cannot find anyone to look at the data. I haven't even been able to find a knowledgeable person I can tell this to. I'm concerned if its real someone in FB with complete access to my whole conversation with meta can just take it. But what can I do?
