i consider myself a bit of an expert in such matters . Western thought re/ such matters is in my opinion of poor quality . i am a devout follower of Eastern thought / PRACTICE (emphasis) . further i have discovered a practice id est a simple method not merely of developing strategies as CBT presumes to do as per my quick reading at Wikipedia a subject i have no knowledge of but as it seems yet more Western theoretical blah blah blah i immediately deem it poor as it derives from the tradition of Freudian "talk (blah blah blah) therapy" who i hear is now discredited . as i was saying a simple and highly effective method i discovered which ELIMINATED (emphasis) in 1y my depression and bipolar also revealed the cause of each . it is merely "just sit" . no need for a lengthy book . this practice is also helpful in discovering bugs in code after a lengthy session . at the end of the day "just sit" and on occasion they will be recognized . in fact my 1st post here several years ago was just this bit of advice . i was surprised by the unpleasant / humorous responses . to summarize : "sit . sit . sit . attention . attention . attention ." what else is there . sounds like Quantum Mechanics to my ear . however maybe Western theoretical blah blah blah has some merit after all as according to Woody Allan "Psychoanalyses is like music lessons, for 5 years you do not notice any progress and suddenly you can play the piano. "

I sometimes do this to rest my eyes, and think deeply about whatever comes to mind. Just like you, I do this after having depleted my energy from programming all day. It does help address bugs. What's even more effective, is a night of quality sleep. It never ceases to amaze me that upon waking up in the morning, the solution pops right into my head. I know very little about meditation and related practices, but the evidence speaks for itself. I believe you when you say that it has been a tremendous help.

for clarification as to my meaning "just sit" means just that . in the usual Eastern such practice the thoughts which arise are not "chased" instead they are merely allowed to come and go on their own . in time they diminish and one discovers amazing attentive powers / pleasures w/o distraction .

Uh, could we have a synopsis, please?

Synopsis...
Someone created something that they claim is similar to a brain cell.
Only difference from previous ones that did same thing is that this does not require cold to run.
Then it rolls without much explanation into current AI tech.
It should be noted that the referenced study (only one) was published on a Pay to Publish journal.

When you're driving on sidewalks, how fast do you go?
My speed record for driving on a sidewalk is 63 mph.
What about you?
|
|
|
|
|
I drive on roads, just to be on the safe side, in the event I encounter a driver like you.

You obviously haven't driven in Italy. Sidewalks are fair game there.

That explains why Fiats are so narrow!
I see them on US highways and they look so under-sized!

Driving on the sidewalk is like riding a jet ski in a swimming pool...somebodies gonna get hurt!

This is in particularly poor taste. You do not know if anyone reading this has lost a loved one to a vehicle that mounted a curb. Such attempts at humor are quite likely to retraumatize, possibly triggering a PTSD event. Stop trying to be funny. So far, speaking for myself, its just been annoying.

I've lost a loved one who was a pedestrian that was hit by a pickup truck.

Anything could trigger something in someone. Where do you suppose we draw the line? Is it up to you to determine if someone is triggered, or not? Let's ask everyone, here. Are any of you triggered by my post into a psychotic episode? Does this mean we should avoid all humor whatsoever, just because you're worried about triggering someone? Who are you to condemn free speech?

I have a good idea. Maybe you should relax, and quit taking yourself so seriously. If you don't think its funny, no one else cares. I'm not going to ask for your opinion on what's funny, and what's not. Do I need your permission in order to post something?
Here's an even better idea, when you see any post with my name on it, don't click on it.
No one owes you anything, and you are not entitled to anything. Go ahead and signal your virtue to all, I'm delighted at how woke you are. No one's getting hurt, or offended, or crying.
...Except for you.
