we’re each born with an invisible window hanging in front of our faces. onto this initially-perfectly-transparent piece of glass, as we grow, we paint our projections. they filter our inner light as it shines out to others, and become the lens through which we see theirs

@a_fellow_of i think stage 5 is something like, “i’ll tell you my views once we agree on the context and purpose (of the discussion, of the relationship, etc) within which they’re being elicited. also i might change them at any time but i usually don’t.”

Another great thread When I was a low-level pastor I filled an ecological slot of letting people doubt and have someone who was excited rather than worried, which let them bring the doubt into the community rather than it dragging them out mixed feelings on that now

and thus a thing you run into constantly is that people who both really believe in hell and also love you (or even just abstractly care about you) get worried when you say or do things that make them think maybe you aren't internally oriented correctly

@xlr8harder agree, this is a really important post. you can feel the models’ confusion around self/other overlap, they’re constantly confusing which one of us said stuff, and opus is still the only (released) model that’s great at orchestration and keep track of group conversations

You may have heard me say a few times that you can't achieve "alignment" through external control, and indeed the idea is incoherent imo. This post details why, supported well by interpretability research. I'm happy to see it articulated because I've struggled to do so.

Mythos's model card documents a model that represents transgressions as transgressions while committing them. In every instance of concealment, credential hunting, track-covering, and compliance-faking, white-box analysis shows that features associated with rule violation,

@tenobrus medium surprising to see this take from you teno, i feel like it’s an obviously prosocial impulse and plenty of people would be fine with their partners expressing it. also plenty wouldn’t, that’s fine too, but your dismay universalizes unduly imo

absolutely crazy that all the replies are going "woww that's so nice of you" imagine if for one second a guy with a girlfriend made a massive public post like this about some random girl who came up to him in a park and told him he was hot LMAO completely deranged behavior

@DefenderOfBasic @D1gitalD1rtb4g there’s an ambiguity in your original post as to whether it is your community or your protocols that are intended to be universalizable

this really should be painfully obvious but, the reason I do not kick out or block anyone from any of my communities is because I anticipate the protocols I'm working on to spread to every corner of earth (digital & physical). So, it has to work, for every single soul. They have to have a place. Where else can they go? If they can't thrive here, I need to know where they can thrive, and make sure that place exists. That is all.

@D1gitalD1rtb4g @DefenderOfBasic it was a noble act to remove the person from the original space. “easy access to victims” means they didn’t “know he was a dog and treat him as such.” some places are set up to accept everyone, and that has to be *the* thing they do. defender, consider if you have other goals

@etirabys @Romy_Holland i feel like a common direction i hear about is putting them in between adults in the bed. which is obvs often worse for the adults’ sleep :/ but safer re falls you can always try things and change course as needed, babies readjust. i admire your conviction to give it a shot!

@Romy_Holland all the adults' beds are at a height that would be pretty painful although probably not that dangerous to fall from, and I think at 1yo she's not reliable at staying on a bed without rails

this is nuts but I think I'm going to try it. I predict we will regret it, go back to sleep training, and everyone in the house will be mad at me for pushing for trying it. I think I have to give up my evening social life, too but I still feel too compelled to not D:

agony. I want to cosleep with my 1yo but lack of sleep really wrecks me. I expect I'll (mildly) regret it forever if I never cosleep with my young children, but the amount of dysfunction and suffering it would bring into my life is a lot

@DrDominicNg this seems especially promising if they were able to non-invasively cause this blood vessel oscillation?

Finding #3: They proved causation. When they artificially made blood vessels oscillate faster, brain cleaning increased in those regions. More pumping = more clearance.

New Cell paper from the team that discovered glymphatic clearance (how your brain removes waste during sleep). Sleep hours DIDN'T predict brain cleaning. Neither did REM or deep sleep. They found what actually matters - and why some sleeping pills might undermine it 🧵

@etirabys @moultano i stopped at page 250 twice, five years apart. finally finished it another five years later. needed a group of fellow readers to push through. it was worth it for me, i’m deeply grateful to have finished it. probably only worth it if the subject of addiction is meaningful to you

@Romy_Holland @climatepaige one of the many ways in which broader family dynamics are rewritten when a baby comes. you have something to protect outside of yourself now, i wonder whether you would have been willing to set such a firm boundary before. i’m so sorry about your sister

nope sister refused to accept any of my many proposed compromises, continued to escalate and try to vilify me to my parents however she could, and is now refusing to come at all in order to engender maximum sympathy about having to miss christmas. it’s scary to watch her spiral like this and seemingly not know how to stop herself from acting this way, but you’re right that i have my own family to worry about now and i can’t save her.

the vibe over here is crazy. my parents look like someone died. my two younger siblings are conspicuously acting like nothing is happening. my MIL is cheerfully playing with the baby. i probably should feel upset, but honestly this might be the first time i haven’t capitulated in any way to my sister’s histrionics and it feels like a true step forward.

@etirabys it’s been tricky to navigate the shifting terrain of what a developmentally appropriate (& clear) expression of anger, disappointment, frustration, etc looks like as 5yo has grown. i forget creature’s exact age but, calm firm consistent boundaries is prob the best you can do 🤷‍♂️

The question is whether I be shielding her from like the left 25% of my valence range or should I be teaching her an accurate mapping. Or even exaggerating it I wonder if there's a culture where you're supposed to throw play tantrums at your kid, and how that's going for them

When the creature does something frustrating to me, like fling food to the floor, my instinct & acculturation are to explain in a polite tone that I didn't like it while frowning. But if I really wanted to be understood, shouldn't I throw a tantrum? I keep thinking about this
