/mental/ - Mental Health, Illnesses and Disorders

I once had a project to datamine all of "MercadoLibre" (it's like ebay but in spanish), turns out it takes quite an amount of computing power

I had a project I loved (came up with it in like, 2 hours of free time, walking around, thinking), where I would make a treasure hunt all over the city, and pay some money to whoever won. It sounds great in my head: making the clues, the steps, little poems that people would have to solve in order to win, ala Code Da Vinci…

It always pains me a little to remember my left4dead projects OP… Also I'm not bipolar

I've reorganized my room to look like one of those cyberpunk set-ups. My sleeping area is in the center of the room, and everything else is surrounding it. Its fantastic for multitasking.

I think the first two things I'll work on will be the mastery of cannabis plants (Where the hell would i find a list of all the phytochemicals?) and finishing these damn books i have on muh backlog.

I worked for a week, sleepless nights, on a prosthetic arm that is one size fits all yet durable and portable. It would have three main parts, the "anchor" for the arm, the "CPU" which is a section with a computer and DC motors/rechargeable battery pack designed with specific function, and finally the functioning part, the most basic being a hand. Another mod was a hook, and a computer designed to function for industrial purposes. A customized prosthetic arm, without the fitting process, without the other shit.

Now I draw.

The question on something like that is how to possibly tether the hardware of the mind and the hardware of the prosthetic machine in a way that gets them to communicate under a common language. Even if you manage to meld the pieces together, how would the software portion pan out?

How could one possibly create the functional anchor?

Dude, send me some of that tasty fanfiction tier short story stuff.

I always liked the idea of creating a little game like that. Do you know anything about encryption? Most of what you'd be doing I assume is analogue instead of digital, so i'm thinking cryptexes, ROT ciphers, maybe some of that cool light trick bullshit that only shines at a certain part of the day.

>Dude, send me some of that tasty fanfiction tier short story stuff.

I'm still in the process of editing them, then I gotta send them to a friend for proofreading. Doesn't help that I had to practically rewrite three of them due to a hard disk failure.

BUT, when I finally get them perfected, I'll be sure upload them somewhere. Maybe a dropbox or something.

The hardware isn't the problem. The problem is the mechanical engineering aspect of the design, making it a one size fits all. I've already worked out:

>connectivity, receiving nerve impulses via conductive cloth diode and sending it to micro-computer in upper arm

>anchor, uses a unique kind of "spandex" (lay mans terms, its a flexible plastic kind of thing that finishes in the middle of the bicep)

I won't get into it right now, software is also an easy part compared to the mechanical design. I spent countless nights trying to 3D model it.

I'd like to request a comprehensive explanation of everything related to your project if you don't mind. You've intrigued me.

You have very similar handwriting to my good friend who an hero'd.

Stoic Negative Visualization tl;dr:

Think of the worst possible ways something can end up, and not give a fuck about it. You're supposed to do this with a lot of things/events, such that you become used to the idea that the bad things can and will happen, and that if they're inevitable, you shouldn't give a fuck because you can't control it, anyway.

Example: your friend is going to your house but he's taking a bit of time to do so. Your thoughts would go something like:

"My friend isn't here yet, and I'm waiting. Waiting is kind of unpleasant, but I don't give a shit. I could go somewhere else at any time, or I could play vidya, etc. Otherwise, I can't really control my friend getting here any faster.

Or, he could've died on the way here. That is a possibility, and it might've caused his being late on the way. But so what? Life goes on. It's not like I could control when death happens to take him. But it's not like I'm some emotionless robot who has total control of his feelings.

I WILL be bummed out about waiting, or my friend's death, etc. like a normal person, but eventually, I know that I'll have to go on in life. What can I do, really?"

So yeah, something like that. Doesn't work too well for me if I'm already anxious; I use it to diffuse incoming anxiety or overwhelming emotions.

That actually sounds pretty solid. I wouldn't be surprised if that was taught in buddhist practices.

>>12080

And that's uh, that's actually kind of unsettling.

And we're both bipolar, too.

Weeee!

If you're bipolar, post projects.
