Send as many applications as you can, yes, but ensure you’re spreading them out across companies. Also, if you have a social network, leverage it as much as possible. Or, speak with recruiters in your field.

I have decade+ experience in my field and only got ~5% response rate over a year. In fact, my now boss bypassed their HR to hire me because they couldn’t manage thousands of applications.

The job market fucking sucks right now.

I didn’t realize a real, literal angel used lemmy.

I’m sorry you had those experiences. That’s not fair. Those are NOT descriptions of helpful therapy.

Do you have a guess on what has contributed toward your symptoms? Very broadly here, nature (e.g., bipolar type 1) vs nurture (e.g., grew up in dysfunctional family)? If you have traumatic symptoms, have you considered a therapist specializing in trauma?

Am I being paranoid, unlucky or just expecting something that isn’t at all aligned with reality?

This sounds like bad luck. It’s not you!

Looks like a UK relative of Toomgis

This was not on my bingo card.

The “fine print” you added doesn’t say the automated transcript will be used for training a model. I’d highly, highly doubt HIPAA protected clinic notes would be use for training an LLM. If they did, the clinic would go bankrupt from lawsuits.

Also, if they only use AI for automated transcription, would you feel the same instead of “AI” it were a dedicated automated transcription tool?

If you abhor all things AI, your feelings of not continuing with this clinic are valid. However, I don’t think they are using AI in ways you think they are.

Can you ask how AI is used in the app?

No, that’s Patrick

I knew some families with that behavior. They are rare, but extremely hurtful. Look into trauma therapy (and ask a therapist what makes them qualified for that, instead of taking their word). You may have developed some hidden coping mechanisms just to survive, and a (good) therapist can help you determine if those mechanisms help or hurt you.

Your brother’s behavior seems extremely uncommon, to say the least. I can’t imagine that behavior being tolerated in a (functional) work place.

I wish you the best.

Eat until you’re not hungry, not when you’re full. That may require eating more slowly. It will be an adjustment for sure.

I thought Mturk was primarily used for labeling data for ML models, i.e., “here’s data. Look at it and give it a label according to our specifications”. Do they have a component of Mturk for piloting devices?

Woah, you’re right. I assumed this was someone’s highly produced fan demo. Devo really covered it. Hot damn

How the hell is this 15 years old? It’s really well done. Must’ve been a lot of work

Do you have a guess on the underlying issue(s)? E.g., trauma (intergenerational, complex, or acute), issues related to neurodivergence (ADHD or ASD), psychiatric conditions (bipolar, schizophrenia, etc).

If so, filter out therapists that don’t list the issue as something they treat. Then call them and ask if they have specific training for that issue. A “reputable” therapist should point to a specific training program or certification that you can research. If they say something like, “I’m comfortable talking about that issue but have no training in it,” look elsewhere.

The bigger thing to consider: finding a therapist is a match making process. You may have to go through multiple therapists before you find one that helps. Even something as small as communication style is a valid reason to find a new therapist.

Best of luck!

Woah, I had never considered that. To think, all these years I was on the side of “initial index is 1.” I’ve unknowingly been using “initial index is 0,” since I started using numbers.

1. I’d bucket them as “A Deftones backbone with metal flourishes and pop sensibilities”. That’s a big mix of people, and so they can attract more fans.

2. Their band aesthetic / look makes them easily identifiable. It’s a successful marketing tool shrug

I think your points are valid, though.

Note: I’m not a huge fan of them, but have enjoyed a few of their songs.

Cool blend of adorable, surreal, and creepy

Love it

Hmmm, not sure I understand what you mean. However, there are things called “saddles” in numerical methods that kinda look an optimum point, but really they’re just intersections of funky surfaces.

Sounds like you’re describing gradient descent
