Thanks for sharing. On a tangent: listening AND reading (together at the same time) may increase your comprehension or memorization of the subject. I would love to do more of that but I haven't found an app that seamless sync both, however. Audible + Kindle has many bugs and would often desynchronize between one or the other (I tried the "immersive reading" feature without success). Edit: Has someone used the audible captions feature? It seems this one may suffice what I wanted originally.

Went to an Infected Mushroom performance yesterday, taking 2.4g of infected mushrooms (psilocybe cubensis) — they played for 3h straight. Got my mind exploded. Recommend anyone to attend a live Infected Mushroom performance, at least once in your lifetime. During the performance I had a unique moment where I became aware of the miracle of life — my existence, my birth, the whole of life is an infinitely precious and unique gift, and I (we) have been granted with it. Maybe here's a great music for acknowledging insanity (future goal: listen to it on Salvia):

Exactly, the right axis to focus on is authenticity and communicating one's desired effectively (smoothly and directly, unashamedly). Rudeness is not a good axis to focus on. Disagreeableness correlates with traits that are attractive (assertiveness, social dominance), but in itself does yield much, if at all. Imagine a guy who's disagreeable and otherwise unattractive, needy, etc. Would any chick want to fuck him? No. That's why I'm a fan of direct game. It forces you to learn to convey your wishes and desires effectively, making you more assertive.

Only if they does it themselves with good equipment. Which given the rest of the diet is... Unlikely. Haha. https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/eating-microwave-popcorn-increases-the-level-of-pfas-in-body

Great video: Turns out the properties of the fat we ingest affect the fluidity and behavior of our cells.

Definitions: Mode One: Fully honest and upfront about your intentions, whether casual sex, dating, or a relationship. Strong and effective. Mode Two: Polite, cautious, vague; prioritizes a good impression and delays revealing intentions ("Pleasant Postponers"). Mode Three: Dishonest, misleading, manipulative, e.g. faking "just friends" to hide a sexual or romantic agenda. Mode Four: Antagonistic, insulting, rude; honest only out of anger or because he knows his desires won't be reciprocated. Strong but ineffective. Transitions: Mode Two → Four: Hints go unnoticed or ignored, so he flips into angry directness, feeling taken advantage of (typically after being friend-zoned). Mode Three → Four: The fake persona yields nothing, so he drops the act and vents resentment. Currie holds that all regular Mode Two and Three men eventually make this shift, and that the anger stems from their own dishonesty.

I almost collapsed just reading this.

Most of those products are about Pickup Artistry. Here are some resources that are more effective IMO if you just care about meeting women: "How to be a 3% Man" — Corey Wayne "Models: Attract Women Through Honesty" — Mark Manson "The System" — Doc Love EDIT: Ok, just realized the post was not asking for suggestions but just sharing. Anyway, leaving what I think here. These are pretty cheap books you can buy on Amazon.

Nice! Thanks @CARDOZZO.

Take some time to let your anger pass and consider doing direct game for a while. Indirect game is the recipe for such kinds of frustrations, in my humble experience.

Mode 4 activated, through indirect game!

Beginning of the video is hilarious btw 🤣

@Olaf You are entering what Alan Roger Currie would call Mode 4. The solution is not mode 4 but mode 1.

+1 This is an interesting idea.

Social withdrawal can happen throughout all levels of the spiral. In my experience, psychedelics made me more connected to the world around me, more environmentally responsible, and more tolerant of different backgrounds and perspectives.

Hold through. It will pass, and you will be proud to look back and see what you've accomplished. Keep journaling and being mindful to prevent burnout and take care of your health. Health comes first, but if you're healthy, grind. Good post by @LordFall. The concept of "enjoying the journey" reminds me of another concept I learned in the 4 disciplines of execution: lead measures. The basic idea: for some objectives we have, by the time we see the results coming, they're already in. The authors call this a lag measure. So, to track progress in a more granular way (which helps with motivation and self-adjusting), we can ground ourselves in lead measures: The main benefit of lead measures is that they let you define "a good day" by what you did rather than by how far you still are from the outcome (apartment, car, etc.).

Asked it to download the last 100 posts and create a scatter plot. Funky cluster names haha (if I had scraped all posts it'd likely be better, but I didn't want to bombard the server for a simple experiment). I also asked it to create an interactive Marimo notebook where you can hover over and click on posts to visualize their contents below. I also guided it to extract the contents of images (it used Tesseract) so the quotes (which are images) are transcribed to text. So that the ML model mapping post contents onto the vector space (in which clustering takes place) has the correct information (the actual quote contents). All this took less than 10 minutes and 4 prompts on my end.

Yes. But even tagging itself can be framed as a series of coding and machine learning steps: Scrape the blog to download all posts locally (or fetch from the database, since you have access); Cluster the posts to define the tag taxonomy — a set of labels of interest; Classify each post into multiple labels. The nice thing about this is you could keep the scripts to automatically apply labels to every future post. Or to backfill existing posts if you wish to create a new label. You could also easily ask the LLM to generate insightful visualizations about the blog.

Yep. LLMs excel at coding cause it is symbolic manipulation. Let's prove this guy wrong, @Girzo!

@Leo Gura 🤣

All the mosquitoes he's been trapping.

I went through some rough periods in my life without antidepressants. I'm a very hard-minded person so I'm not sure this works for everyone, but I'm just saying for you to know it's possible. Whatever you choose: doing what's right is never wrong. By that I mean, implement the lifestyle factors that are proven to alleviate depression (some of them even more effective than antidepressants), even if you decide to take antidepressants. Sleep — every day same time on bed, enough hours, no screens late in the evening. Wake up — go out and see bright light for 2 minutes upon waking up — it aligns your circadian clock and helps sleep and hormone regulation Sun — go out and get sun whenever possible Diet — avoid all type of processed food. Eat as much fruits and veggies as possible. Nutrition — check if you're not defficient in some nutrient. Blood tests with a good doctor who knows what they're doing. Exercise — even if 15 minutes daily Nature — time in nature, put your feet on the ground, reconnect, breathe Meditation You don't need to do everything at once, here are many ideas. Sleep is obviously the most important. And if you decide to take antidepressants, have a strong plan to come off the medication. Start taking the drug without a solid plan to quit seems like waving your self-reliance away. You can ask your therapist for how long their clients take antidepressants. If they give you a wish-washy response, you know what's up.
