I have trouble finding podcasts I like. Usually if I want to hear a story, I want to be engrossed and have as many details as possible. And for nonfiction, I tend to dislike a lot of commentary. I just want the information as plain as possible.

Reading can feel like such a chore, even if you enjoy it.

I have trouble getting started. I’m not sure why I feel as though I should only read a book at a time, and that I should finish every book I start.

So I am trying to treat reading more like how I watch TV. I can start and stop, maybe skip a slow episode (chapter, page). I read more than one book at a time. I just swap between books as my interest changes.

Also, audiobooks have been a really great way for me to read more. I listen on walks, while driving, doing odd jobs, or just while playing some mindless game that keeps my eyes and hands occupied while I listen.

It’s just so much more fulfilling than listening to music. I find nothing is quite comparable to the way books capture a moment. Theres just so much perspective and wisdom even in fiction books, they can make other media seem somewhat shallow in comparison sometimes.

If you get/have a library card, see if they support overdrive/libby. I periodically replace my social media apps on my homescreen with a book reading app. When muscle memory decides its time to doom scroll, I end up reading a few pages of a book on my phone instead.

About caring less, I cant claim to have figured it out, but read stoic philosophy seems to help put me on the right track. My understanding is its the basis for a lot of modern psychotherapy, and it seems to make a lot of sense to me.

You know the split brain experiments? Your alter ego decided to test its theory.

Thank you pizza guy

They are people doing their job, but they do have say over the agenda of their employees. IMO an endless pursuit of wealth is kind of evil.

This is correct. But the port wont reply to anything but a valid client, so it should not be too apparent to a would-be attacker that you have a port open at all.

So long as its not flooded or destroyed in a disaster I presume

you won! youve completed capitalism!

its true

Why would I stop when he started it? Mom! None of my friends are cutting their emissions!! This is so unfair.

And they’re just giving these away? Godbless

I really like your perspective, I don’t think I’ve seen things laid out in the way that you have in your comment. Do you have any resources/books that you recommend?

How so?

And it works with google cast out of the box!

Are hallucinations a problem outside of LLMs?

What are you using for files?

TIL chins are only chins because they stick out. I had always considered the front of a lower jaw to be a “chin”.

You mean these reasons?

1. It’s important to start small and iterate The film centres around Dr Heiter’s ambitious plan. His MVP involved “connecting” 3 dogs. The experiment didn’t work out well but gave him invaluable information for his next attempt. PM takeaway: Start small & iterate

2. Concentrate on the problem, not the solution Dr Heiter spent so long trying to determine whether he could perform his operation that he forgot to coherently explain why he even wanted to do it. PM takeaway: Don’t get obsessed with technology. Concentrate on use cases.

3. Sustainability is important It didn’t take long before the victims of his scheme started to suffer from his short-term thinking & poor hygiene practices. PM takeaway: Even the best product has tech debt - you need a plan to mitigate it

4. Communication is everything Dr Heiter reduced his chance of getting timely user feedback by only allowing one of his victims, a Japanese man, the ability to speak. Crucially, Heiter didn’t speak Japanese. PM takeaway: Give everyone a voice & be aware of cultural differences

5. Where there’s a will there’s a way Dr Heiter was eventually thwarted through a combination of the efforts of his victims and local law enforcement. They battled incredible odds to “win” the day. PM takeaway: Even when times are hard, sometimes you have to keep pushing

why am i so uncomfortable

I think that people often work jobs that don’t align with their beliefs. We don’t know peoples circumstances and I think its unfair to assume that everyone has a easy choice in their employer. As you said, it likely isn’t a very nice place to work for him, and as such its likely not his first choice. Even if he had other options, this seems like a case of workplace discrimination, which would make him a victim.
