Is it legal and possible for the NSA to socially attack someone with mental health issues this way?

I'd like to rule-out some state actors by the mere heartbreaking act of socially engineering and targeting a person in pain.

Not even considering the original maintainer may be a US citizen (idk).

I'd say at this point all major tech companies, ISPs and authorities should have more enough information and disabling and freezing their accounts would be the first step.

I asked ChatGPT 4 based on Jia's Github avatar image:

The timezones that ChatGPT thinks the avatar comes from aligns with +2 and +3, see what how it ranked and at the end the description of Jia's avatar:

GPT4: This image appears to be a stylized representation of the letter 'J' within an intricate border, possibly inspired by the art style of Islamic calligraphy. The ornate background is typical of arabesque patterns, which are characteristic of Islamic art and consist of repeating geometric forms that often echo the shapes of plants, flowers, and sometimes calligraphic writing. The letter 'J' stands out in a vibrant yellow, contrasting with the dark green of the surrounding design.

I don't think it is possible to see the pixels, they are the size of a red blood cell. But maybe you can see antialiasing or noise from the cameras.

Personally I can't see any pixelation. It's even better than reality. That being said passthrough cameras' resolution do suck but it's not what it's important and probably the easiest problem to solve.

The video is about the LMS algorithm, which stands for the Least Mean Square algorithm. The algorithm is used to train adaptive neurons, specifically the Adaline neuron, which was developed by the speaker and his first doctoral student, Ted Hoff, in 1960. The Adaline neuron is manually trained using knobs and switches, and its objective is to minimize the error, which is the difference between the desired response and the actual response. The LMS algorithm updates the weight vector based on the error, with positive errors resulting in the addition of the input pattern to the weight vector, and negative errors resulting in the subtraction of the input pattern. The speaker demonstrates the use of the Adaline neuron using various input patterns and shows how the weights are adjusted to obtain the desired response. The speaker also introduces another version of the Adaline neuron, the MR Adaline, which uses electroplating to adjust the resistance of resistor elements and simulate the weights of the Adaline neuron.

Bipolar here. When I was diagnosed, though not in a FAANG, and asked for accommodation HR, my managers and company owners went against me and fired me. They didn't care about my diagnosis and was against the law but they preferrer to pay me off with a severance agreement and let me go than to understand what mental illness is about.

TBH I don't blame them. This shit is really hard to grasp even to my self. Therefore I only have one very good advice: fake it and never ever tell anyone about it. Not even your friends, less your coworkers.

Mental illnesses are not even understood at medical or research level. I honestly believe this can only be understood by very well trained professionals or anyone who experience the symptoms themselves or from a very close relative. It's really hard to be compassionate with this stuff.

My advice again, keep your mouth shut up, fake it and have a list of very good excuses. Say you have cancer, idk, anything will be better than going out with the mental illness. It's a path of no return and can very well kill all growth in your career as people will talk and place red flags you can't remove thereafter.

Life is way more important than our jobs. Don't try to push more than you physically can, even if you believe you can archive more (specially in mania phase).

Good luck, hope you are doing as well as you can.
