Trust me, you don't have to explain to me all the ways you're a fanboy. You've proven it already. Don't bother replying further.

Fan boys usually care about the brand. ;-)

> having V8 as a backend also means supporting WebAssembly Exceptions and Garbage Collection under the hood. Stay tuned for more news on this front soon

Looking forward to this and languages that can make use of wasm-gc.

Does wasm-gc allow sharing of host data/strings across different modules in the same runtime, or is it contained to only single module with repeated calls/invocations? The scenario I am considering would invoke several different modules in a pipeline, pass data between each step in an efficient manner.

That's what reference types (the Wasm proposal) are for, GC builds on top of that.

I am not sure from which country you gain your perspective, but in Germany it's not what's gonna happen. Your human right is the highest good, and police or any doctor is only permitted to force you to take drugs or put you in a clinic when you are acute suicidal or you harm others. Unfortunately I know that first hand.

A person with delusions like that is a risk to themselves and others.

That's good to know, but it leaves you without many options, since all the experts also suggest not to confront them with reality. So how to interact with somebody who as a psychosis and sees a complete twisted reality?
throw4950sh06 · a year ago
Call an ambulance. Acute psychosis needs immediate treatment, they may easily hurt themselves or others. The psychosis can be stopped with one injection, don't prolong their suffering. Before the ambulance arrives, try to reassure them that they are safe, there is peace around them and help is on the way. Once the ambulance arrives, go away - it might get messy.

Typical fanboy reply. You're beyond reason.

I'd buy any other brand if they produced something comparable in all metrics to a Macbook. That means the chassis, the display, sound quality and loudness, excellent trackpad and a very adequate keyboard, no fans or any moving parts at all, low temperature, very long battery life, size, thickness and weight.. I don't care about RAM, I was able to live with 8GB just fine. All the other metrics are much more important to me, more RAM just makes it a little nicer but otherwise doesn't make the experience.

Consider that the "fanboys" simply care about something other than you do. There was a time in my life when I had probably very similar preferences as you, but life changes.

Without supervision? What good is that? This is a disease that breaks people. Those who would convince themselves to see such symptoms in a positive light are doing nothing but damage.
throw4950sh06 · a year ago
Yes. What I mean is that doing it can have unintended consequences - so don't do it if you don't know what you're doing and/or not fully in control of the situation.

Should she have been more honest and said "X will be their shortly. I'm really worried about you, please stay put."? Just trying to follow this chain of reasoning.
throw4950sh06 · a year ago
Yes, that would work. I was really looking for confirmation, so if she said something like this the issue could be avoided. But who knows what I'd come up with 10 minutes later...

Ok I see.

It is really hard for me to relate to, the feeling of believing I am Piccard.

Like do you want logical reasoning?

'I am Gandalf'

'So where is your beard?'

Or just reassurence?

'I am Gandalf'

'No you are not'

You're reading into it too much. You don't think you're actually Picard or Kirk, you think the world around you is very similar to the stories, but not actually the story itself.

In my case, it went like this: Whoa, my crew is telepathically beaming me instructions and we are right in the middle of a mission. Where the fuck am I? Crew, give me my command protocols. Oh, I command a starship? Sure, sorry, the heat around here, I might be hit with something, I don't remember, help me! Oh, you're going to transport me? Sure, go ahead, let me just run away from this commando waiting on the hallway using the only other exit - the window... Now it makes sense that I'm a starship captain, why would a commando be waiting there otherwise...

(Your mileage may vary)

How do you know it isn't true? Philip K Dick came to believe in his psychosis visions (he believed he truly was in Rome in 60AD or so but was being fed a created world by the Romans). But he had good personal evidence for it that he couldn't deny even in a non-psychotic state. Do you have anything like that?

I guess a better way to phrase it is, do you have compelling evidence that your beliefs are true that you have to force yourself to ignore, or does it just seem like nonsense when you aren't in a psychotic state?

You're not suddenly irrational in a psychosis, you still have your logic working, just with crooked inputs. So it took me months to sort through some details and make sense of what actually happened and what didn't. There are some things I'm probably never going to be able to explain and I just have to leave it like that. But I don't believe any of my delusions happened, I just would like to know what happened.

All the voices, and the sense of urgency and danger go away immediately when you wake up after a dose of antipsychotic medication. Your first thoughts are that you lived through some weird things which are not happening at all anymore, and now there's a psychiatrist untying you from a hospital bed and handing you a cigarette, which puts stuff into context. You also probably feel the best you felt in weeks/months because it's your first night of sleep since forever.

I can easily imagine someone thinking "well, I had a psychosis, but there was shit going on". Fortunately that's not me.
