It is, actually. :mad:

Wow, what an amazing story! Thanks for sharing. I don't think anyone here can offer you solid advice. From what I can tell you are not stupid and are therefore your own best consort. I wish you the best of luck! :)

Common sense rarely ever makes sense to me. Its a sort of lazy attitude that is plagued my life since I was a lad.

Lol ok then. :)

Ok so a few months ago I got depressed and wrote on this forum (thanks everyone for your support, if you remember me). Stuff happened and I decided I wanted to make more friends. Two months later I have made many friends. The problem I am having is with the females I have become friends with...

Can anyone think of any other process that might bring about diversity of life? Not on earth; but on other planets?

Ok some of you may know I'm going through a bit of depression. But no matter! I hatched an idea that might create a few opportunities. Lets write a story. All of us INTPs and who ever else is around. Lets make a collection of short stories and see if we can make a bit of money out of it?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn't go through with it in the end. Im 24; to the person that asked.

I am a gay man. I have always been alone. But things are changing. I need something to live for. Can someone tell me why I should keep going? Thank you all for your replies.

I pluged the bleeding. Oh god. I am just so alone I don't know what to do?

Shall I stay alive or commit suicide? I have a big injury, but I haven't decided if I should patch up.

Im not sure empathy should be a weakness. Its an asset in commerce.

Ever left your mothers basement? Talked to a real woman/man?

Why do you bother with this mind numbing philosophical rubbish?

Perfect! I am Aristotle. I don't like platos self sacrificing philosophies.

At the moment, I can only listen to Classical. Everything else just makes me feel a little unwell.

No not to talk to somebody. I was meditating in my mothers back yard and thought it would be awesome if I could replicate the experience. I have serious doubt that electronic sound reproduction could ever sound natural; hence the reason I don't want to entertain these sorts of possibilities.

The problem with speakers and panels is the sound that I generate (my voice for instance) will not behave as though I were in a forest. The noise I am most concerned with is MY noise. I realize the technology I am asking for does not exist; but maybe research does? Unfortunately, google is no help.

I was wandering if anyone was familiar with research on sound camouflage where sound absorption coefficients differ across the surface of a material. In particular, a non static, animated, sound absorption differential.. The idea is to mimic the eco of sound through a forest; but in a small...

Ah yes; that makes sense. This should be fun! :D Thanks heaps for replying!

Oh yes. Agreed. I was referring to intuition.

Wonderful! Can we be friends? Do you know where one might learn to "reinvent" the wheel quickly?

Us INTP's are perfectionists of thought. We are constantly in pursuit of "better" strategies; finding ways to make "thinking and learning" faster and more efficient. One way we achieve this is through the creation of very abstract mental categories. My question is: will learning either of...

Great, thanks! I am currently learning about Recommender Systems. I eventually want to end up bioinformatics or computational biology. The teacher did recommend Octave for prototyping, but didn't give us direction on where to go next. What library do you like using for c++? Also, where do you work?

Should I use Octave, Matlab or a good numerical linear algebra library in c++ to run my machine learning algorithms? Does anyone have any experience with implementing learning algorithms?

There are two lines of evidence that I could see that converge on 3. The differences between the numbers (ie (1 to 8) difference = 7); and the following pairings: (0, 1), (7, 8), (?, 4). The other possibility I thought of was 6. Provided the first four letters are irrelevant, the necessary...

Why? Its not like c++ is difficult to learn. I learned how to use it on my own in just under a couple of weeks.

Sex, Mathematics, Meditation, Yoga and running. I enjoy sex the most. Everything else is pretty much equal.

I am currently doing machine learning and algorithm analysis papers. Algorithm analysis requires discrete math and linear algebra. While machine learning requires ALL of the papers I described. Yes it depends on what you want you want to do. If your idea of fun is just software engineering...

Agreed! Has anyone tried Coursera, edX or Saylor Foundation? They are my personal favourites!

Depends on what you want to do. Usually the following math papers will do the trick: Linear Algebra (Not JUST algebra). Probability Theory (Not JUST statistics). Discrete Mathematics These are a MUST. The following are helpful if you want to get into Machine Learning, Computational Biology...

What do you think about MOOC? Do you think earning certificates will improve your employability? Here are a few: Coursera edX Saylor Foundation MIT OpenCourseware Khan Academy

I am from New Zealand. Our high schools are not the same as American high schools. Library geeks are generally admired here.

Oh rubbish. Grayman's attitude is interesting. TMills27: Are these cycles described by "overstimulation". If I am overstimulated too regularly, I become stressed and then depressed.

No no I didn't dream. I'm just feeling unusually happy. Does this happen to you?

That doesn't sound right, so probably not.

Hmm, so possibly; I don't know how to have fun?

Last night I had a few drinks and went into town. The whole night I was feeling really happy; and for no obvious reason. I woke up this morning and I'm still feeling happy? Could it be the alcohol? Has anyone else had this experience? Please share.

Spiders. I had a nightmare about spiders last night. They were everywhere on the ground, and I kept having to jump out of the way. Eugh.

I would be surprised if this disparity could be accounted for by genetics. It makes more sense that this difference is rooted in culture. We know, for instance, that abstract reasoning is related to the availability of various mental categories (eg that objects are bounded, continuous forms...

Yup. Totally me. :storks:

I don't get called awkward; so I don't think I am. Its quite possible that everyone is too polite to say anything, but I seriously doubt it. You're funny? I wish I was.

Hmm, I like hugging my close friends. Does this make me an INFP?

Ok I think I'm onto something. For those people that don't like Clara, do you happen to like any of these characters from Game of Thrones: Eddard Stark, Ned Stark or Jon Snow?

Hmm, that's not good. Maybe you can try surfing a forum with people that are going through the same thing? Reading another persons story may help you to put things into perspective. Hope you feel better soon! ----------------------------------------------------- On another note, is this...

Oh dear, I don't remember leaving a message. Yeah I'm fine, how are you?

You're brave! How did your parents handle it? Mine didn't handle it well.

I would like to know this also.

Why does everyone hate Clara? I think she's the best companion the new Doctors have had so far.
