Show HN: 工程精神分裂：在拜占庭错误中信任自己
2 分•作者: rescrv•6 个月前
大家好，我是 Robert Escriva。我于 2017 年在康奈尔大学计算机科学系获得了博士学位。三年前，我经历了一次精神病发作，它彻底颠覆了我的世界。
从那时起，我一直在将我在研究生院学到的一项技能——即调试分布式和复杂系统——应用于我自己的思维。
我所发现的都写在了一本 [书 (pdf)](<a href="https://rescrv.net/engineering-schizophrenia.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://rescrv.net/engineering-schizophrenia.pdf</a>) 里，这本书讲述了工程学、我特有的精神分裂症妄想，以及像我一样曾经受苦的人如何找到一条走出迷雾，到达彼岸的道路。
这并不是一本治愈回忆录；它是一本指南，也是对所有从未停下来问过“如果我的大脑开始失灵会发生什么？”的人的警示。
我写作是因为我发现的不是一个终点，而是一个过程。对我来说，对像我这样的人来说，这是一个持续进行的过程。我也相信，使用我们应用于基于机器的系统的相同技术，可以将其自动化。
我正在寻找其他认识到人类思维重要性的人，来参与关于这个话题的讨论。
祝大家黑客精神愉快，
Robert

Hi HN!<p>My name's Robert Escriva. I got my PhD from Cornell's Computer Science department back in 2017. And three years ago I had a psychotic episode that irreversibly shook up my world.<p>Since then I've been applying a skill I learned in grad school---namely, debugging distributed and complex systems---to my own mind.<p>What I've found I've put into a [book (pdf)](<a href="https://rescrv.net/engineering-schizophrenia.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://rescrv.net/engineering-schizophrenia.pdf</a>) on engineering, my particular schizophrenic delusions, and how people who suffer as I once did can find a way through the fog to the other side.<p>This is not a healing memoir; it is a guide and a warning for all those who never stopped to ask,
"What happens if my brain begins to fail me?"<p>I am writing because what I've found is not a destination, but a process. It is an ongoing process for me and for people like me. I also believe it is automate-able using the same techniques we apply to machine-based systems.<p>I am looking for others who recognize the stakes of the human mind to engage in discussion on the
topic.<p>Happy hacking,
Robert
