Learning lots.
Trainee psychiatrist.

@thsottiaux @thsottiaux .. I have had a pretty gut wrenching cost over the weekend and I think it’s a UI / UX problem… I am wondering if I could speak to a human about it?

@ryancarson I'm a psychiatrist trying to build something for the first time. I am hungry to learn!

A bit louder for those at the back...

"... last year the Government spent more than $3 million treating damage caused by coal mining at a single site on the West Coast – more than it collected in royalties for all coal mining nationwide the same year."

1/ A deep understanding of Bitcoin is what allows people to benefit the most from it.

In 2013 @RoyaMahboob converted her company in Afghanistan fully into BTC, riding the wave from $100 to $1,200.

But then it crashed: all the way to $200

Most would have given up. But not Roya.

Bingo! This is what our lab has been working on for 20 years; here are some details for those who want to see how the biology plays out, and the many practical implications of taking seriously the symmetry between the conventional intelligence and those of problem-solving in other spaces (such as anatomical, physiological, etc.). Neuroscience isn't really about neurons, and the tools and concepts are very widely applicable if we don't insist on maintaining restrictive old categories - new discoveries and capabilities result.

I don't know who to credit this photo to, but this is the best aerial shot I've seen that gives a sense of scale for today's hīkoi protesting the NZ government's direction for Māori. Unbelievable numbers.

"We have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise. But we are led by the least among us — the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary."

Some more context you might not be aware of is that before the Treaty Principles Bill speeches began, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke asked the Speaker for a speaking slot and was denied.
Te iwi Māori will be heard!

🔥Unprecedented & simply magnificent. That time in Nov 2024 when a haka led by Aotearoa’s youngest MP 22yo Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke erupted in the House stopping the Treaty Principles Bill from passing its first reading, triggering the Speaker to suspend Parliament.

This piece gives 8 reasons #ADHD rates have more than tripled in last 30 years.

But leaves out 4 most important:
1)DSM/ICD criteria were loosened
2)Pharma marketing to clinicians/parents/teachers/patients
3)Careless fad diagnosis
4)Social media contagion

@willywoo Novelty expands time

[Tom Paterson @psycheduptom]

@maddireidy Also - will the government get organized so that we can all thrive with cheap excess energy or do we trust infratil and the power companies to benefit us all?

[Tom Paterson @psycheduptom]

@maddireidy Interplay between SMR, Grid, Bitcoin Mining, Data Centres and secondary economies that utilise the excess heat.

[Tom Paterson @psycheduptom]

@maddireidy Also cost comparison between more investment in Hydro vs SMR?

@DSBatten Please tell me it's Aotearoa @NZSuperFund
