Yes, but it is likely far less pronounced if you've had a reasonably stable life.

I've had the experience of relocating thousands of miles away multiple times in my life, halved my weight, abandoned the dogmatic tribal mythos of my birth, and have been disabled from a broken neck and back due to the gross ineptitude of a terrible driver. That last one forced me to completely reinvent myself.

One of the hardest relevant experiences was relocating long distance then returning some years later. Nothing will be the same upon return. It will feel just as foreign as moving away to the new place did. Such an experience reveals just how much we all evolve with time and how we are a product of our environment.

Something as simple as living on a hilltop versus on a flat floodplain may have a major impact on how you exercise regularly, and that may shape or come to define you in profound ways. Such changes are essentially a different person. Your hormones, interactions, mood, interests, and sleep patterns are collectively what defines you on a fundamental layer.

That person may have made regretful mistakes. Those mistakes may be very different than who you have become and how you might handle them now. The question here in this post is really about how you perceive those regrets or mistakes now. Are they just a regrettable weight on you, perhaps motivational through the negative feedback of self shame? Or, are you empathetic towards that person, trusting that they did their best at the time, in the environment, given the same pressures and constraints; acknowledging the complexities involved well enough to admit you do not know you would be able to do things better now, even after age and experience? In other words, do you see past the fallacy of dichotomous oversimplification of hindsight to see yourself as a real human? There is room for empathy in that reflective abstract perspective.

Yes, depending on the tone, I would either confront the perceived slight or avoid talking to you all together.

The last bit about the post, no, I would not say that out loud but would internalize that the group I am in has incompatible abstractive thinking scope for such a casual conceptual subject of interest to me.

In abstract, your former self is a different person. You have changed as a product of your environment and you will never again be that person you were in the past.

Emotional intelligence lacks any meaningful specificity and comes across to me as an insult, which is the antithesis of the intent of he post question. Semantics often lack substantive utility, especially within the subject of psychology.

Sorry for another waste of time thing to explore here on Lemmy. I always end up regretting and then deleting this type of good faith post.

Hey sunshine! Thanks for all you do here! I'm actually tentatively trying to get back into hardware a bit and thinking about messing with a threaded interpreter.

I have seen an AI model fine tune or two on hugging face that are targeting reverse engineering binaries. I think that may be one major key towards more broad possibilities with linux mobile devices. We don't have the source code for most of the hardware modules of the orphaned kernels and the hardware is undocumented. Reverse engineering every device is far too time consuming for humans, but for a well developed agent, maybe it is possible to map every register and decompile the binary in productive ways.

When I first started exploring AI two years ago, I thought the FORTH language would be the game changer for LLMs. I still think that is a good idea, where an agent is not trying to use the LLM to match assembly, a higher level language, or compilers, but instead is only mapping registers and connections in hardware.

Admitting my naïveté, I do not know why one cannot fully map any given hardware by bruit force. Or at least when a functioning binary is present.

I don't catch every post here by any stretch, and perhaps you or others have been posting stuff like this. The thought is just on my mind presently. I think this type of content on the mind of more people might produce more meaningful change as the orphaned kernel/modules is the primary issue deprecating all mobile devices and preventing ongoing hardware support.

This was just a random thought I have not explored at all. It just occurred to me while staring at a lunch plate. I realized I have never thought of self empathy before. Empathy has always been externalized in my mind.

Like love as a concept lacks substantive primary meaning in any context. To me, love is a secondary function consisting primarily of empathy and kindness as evidenced by actions. Such love is hard to see towards myself. I focus on my curiosity and often my mistakes and failures as a catalyst to drive change. Perhaps a better exploration of self empathy is the key to a more positive internal perspective and sense of self.

I have the rule of never worrying about things I cannot change. So I would just move on with my life and trust that the person I was and will be is making the best decisions possible given the information and constraints of the time. YOLO

I do not understand why anyone would believe that assassinating Putin is a bad idea. Russia does not produce tribalistic cults of belief. It has always only ever produced monolithic monster megalomaniacs. Waiting for one to die naturally is just stupid. No one in Russia would retaliate after the dust settles. It would just create a vacuum that culminates in the next monster in two to three decades.

We lack broad social awareness of our relationship as digital neighbors. If anyone feels a narcissistic whim to rage rant, we should have a system like captcha on 4chan, only it forces the person to make a post in order to add the comment based on sentiment analysis. Everyone should be subjected to experiencing the effort required to make a post and specifically the toll of negativity and rage comments. The narcissistic negativity leads to the situation proven by the Prisoner's Dilemma whereby everyone is brought down and suffers stagnation, regression, or collapse. ALL negative feedback systems are incapable of producing positive outcomes. So negativity directed at strangers on the internet is just shitting on everyone and especially the targeted victim of the abuse. It reflects a person without any real independent morality or ethics, when anonymity allows them to remove the masked cosplay of real world social pressures, and reveal the true ugliness of the raw person that resides within.

I care dude. It will get better. Think about projects you can mess with. Take junk apart just to figure out how it works. If nothing else, save and start organizing the hardware like screws and stuff. Spare hardware is super useful for fixing things and you will have an enormous variety if you just take apart junk and keep the spares.

Before the end of the day today, commit to doing something physical for me. Walk outside for a bit, ride a bike, watch the sun go down. Do anything that gets your heart rate up enough to barely break a sweat at a minimum.

Arduino stuff can be fun and an intro to programming stuff if you have never tried it.

Why is the UK such a hell hole all the sudden? I've never had such a terrible opinion of the place until now with encryption and authoritarian fuckwitism against the last bastion of real democracy on the internet.
