Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Yes. Although 5 loops has been consistently ran. Now my subconscious seems to want 8 loops. Its like it wants its UMS hit pretty bad. Short moments of "its enough" which would be my cue to let it bloom, only to hijack and throw in a number again.

I think you should try letting it bloom for 5 to 7 days and see what happens.

What happened to Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 4, it seem to disappear?

[Benjamin]

It should still be there, it's just been pushed down as it's not pinned anymore.

[Shannon]

I put it in the Thread Graveyard to help avoid confusion. Do you need it for some reason?

Yes, could be useful, there are some posts I haven't read.

Shannon you think we'll see a DMSI 3.3.3 anytime soon?

[Have at ye]

Shannon you think we'll see a DMSI 3.3.3 anytime soon?

It's been two weeks since 3.3.2 hit the digital shelves, let's give it a fair shake first, mmmkay?

With the best subs in the world ofen we can tell how things are going to go with 1 week or even before it's released. Granted it's not the super money maker yet. Frequent updates would make it reach it goal faster

If only you understood how this really works.

This is not a piece of simple code you can compile on a computer in a matter of minutes and distribute, then have consistent testing done on it and know what needs adjustment (and how to adjust it) in a matter of hours, days or weeks.  

We are dealing with the most complex computer in the universe (that we know of) and it consists of multiple parts and layers which all run different types of operating system, and different software, and have different levels of power, ability and methods for doing things.  We are also dealing with something we don't fully understand yet (one or more of those parts of the mind, and fear).  And we are dealing with various different testers who may or may not test according to the instructions, report, report accurately and honestly, refuse to see what is actually going on, have a personal agenda that colors their reports, understand what they are seeing, use the program correctly, be able to hear, etc. etc.

So sorry, it takes longer than a day or a week or a month to make updates sometimes.  It takes me months sometimes just to work out how to improve the FRM.  This is some really complicated shit.  It's not going to happen like you'd see in the FOSS world: Release early, release often.  Early release can be dangerous.  Releasing often only confuses reporting and wastes time building unnecessarily.

Hi Shannon!

Just an idea for the next program to build after the intriguing "mystery program", haha...

My good friend, she's crippled badly by depression. I got her E3, but she washed out of it after a short while. It's a pattern with her, if something isn't instant, or has any difficulty, she bolts and just uses it to further reinforce the issue. "See...I told you it wouldn't work" etc., meanwhile never giving it the CHANCE to. Aggravating, because I receive endless whining about her issue. Not sure what I'm supposed to "do" about it, I'm not a psychologist and with her always running away from it, it won't be challenged and solved.

She has a crippling phobia, that works hand in hand seemingly with depression. They play off each other, probably a sense of futility stemming from it etc. That said, I think an update to refresh DRA to current specs would do her well. Now, I understand the "mystery program", as you've made tweaks to it since DMSI's and ARA's releases, make it the most powerful program? So, either a brand new DRA at it's level, or beyond, could do well for her I think. Maybe it can finally bring her out of this rut she's been unable to climb out of in like 20 years...I'm surprised PTPA isn't in DRA actually as well.

Thank you for this, Shannon. By the way, I will write a thread for ARA 5.75G, which I've bought for my brother. I believe you'll be very pleased to hear about that experience...

DRA is in my list of options to choose from.  The "mystery program" is based on the skeleton script that was used by ARA, LFC and Awakener.  The difference here is what the key and core scripts are, and it has one update to the skeleton script.  That update makes it more powerful in a specific, narrow direction, and that update will be standard in the skeleton script until it is updated again in that module.  But they should all be equally powerful overall. 

I don't remember if PTPA was in the last one, but it will be in the next one.

One way or the other, nothing is going to help if every time it starts doing it's job, she bolts and runs away.  But DRA is one of the options in my list.

Great to hear, Shannon!

Well I can say DMSI V3.3.2 may finally be seemingly starting to do some things for me at least internally. Also, if you coupled that with the shocking results my brother has received from ARA, I really want DRA to be remade so my friend can have some amazing benefit too. This will really be a life-changer for her, and many others no doubt, given how the new subs seem to function now.

I'm happy to hear it's a possible option for the next sub to create. I think it can be a slam dunk now. Especially given the results both my brother and I have experienced with our equally difficult sticking points seeing traction at last.

EDIT: Just read another thread where you were talking about releasing a special experimental DMSI to test some theory on fear. I wholeheartedly volunteer to test this sub immediately. After all, if it can advance me, it's logical it can advance most others. Makes sense to release it for testing at least to a tester like me. That's far too much an intriguing prospect for me to turn down. Please consider that. Thank you very much, Shannon. Looking forward to seeing that release, I truly hope you do it.
