Which one didn't send back a ton of analytics?

Also, surprised with Nanit, Microsoft Clarity was found on the phone app?

With the whole LG fiasco I wouldn't be surprised if the camera itself was doing network fingerprinting and data collection.

Already a big push with this. They call them EREV now, extended range electric vehicles.

Does OpenStreetMap comply with US executive order naming?
Your report matches my experience as well!

Funny how it's basically do all the things you're supposed to do - exercise, diet, stress management - then sleep is then easier.

How do you re-enable that feature?
Thanks for transparency here. Claude code if fun to use again! The thinking is huge when working with Claude as planner.

Dang a Jung forward. Will have to pick it up! Thanks.

Any sites that give nice barebones explanation of the results? I imagine filling more of the blanks myself instead of AI is part of the exercise, but a nice starting point can help.
Maybe a scheduled get togethers of a retirement home group with a that student org either at the home or the university could work. That way it's easier to have a person trained to chaperone, a more controlled environment, and reduced general overhead for planning.

Ollama's implementation for gpt-oss is poor.

Failing for me too.
Initially, security. Then maybe a realization that you don't need all of your wealth to be secure.

Fair enough. The majority of it does seem useful.

From what it logged about you, it does seem you're working on some cool stuff too!

Thanks for posting this! I haven't used ChatGPT much due to worries of something like this possibly existing.

Curious if this make you less or more likely to use OpenAI products in the future?

Such fond memories with this song.

Check out the Heavy Breathing Liquid DnB mix by Dieselboy. It's one of my staples for coding and chilling out in general.

I remember masking off a flame pattern and doing the brushed aluminum look!
Tags for people is great! I've mostly used them for topics and categorization.

How did Scott Adams go from this to tirades on twitter?
You do have me intrigued, what are you general arguments against CICO?

The mechanism from article really does suck, but what does that have to do with CICO? While white adipose cells are created, it's still excess calories that fills those cells.

Mostly use obsidian, but the file and folder hierarchy with outlines feels memory palace like and on top of that the linkage and tag graphs. There is structure beyond a note floating by itself.

You talking about Ron Vachris? The guy who started his career as a Costco forklift driver?
By refute I mean the paper cited. The meta-analysis methodology used in the Ferguson paper is flawed, one of After Babel's contributors goes into more detail here, https://shoresofacademia.substack.com/p/perils-of-flawed-met....
Jonathan Haidt, who's been driving a lot of the work against social media for kids, directly refutes these findings in this post https://www.afterbabel.com/p/fundamental-flaws-part-3.

Can you elaborate on your diet changes?
Re:Jake Seliger has died on Friday August 09, 2024 @12:18PM (#41203223)
I believe he briefly talked about that in a post. I think he gave all the account info to his wife.
To maybe add a helpful analogy. Some meditative states aren't very different that an intense dose of psychedelics. Not to mention the person is "dosed" without expecting it.

If it's done unsupervised or without a support system such as a guide or teacher, the experience can be traumatic.

Meditation and therapy aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, for people who have traumas, I would say both are necessary. Very few meditation teachers are trained in handling a psychological crisis and mental break downs happen often in retreats and self-led practice.
The jhanas were describes in the suttas. You can verify it yourself. Leigh Brasington has a lot of resources making them more accessible, https://www.lionsroar.com/entering-the-jhanas/.

I would agree that the jhanas are hallucinations and initially not subtle whatsoever. By repeated exploration of the jhanas you learn that the states are wholly dependent on many things not under your control. Application of these states in real life is a whole different animal compared to simply being able to access them as well.

* Edit: If you do decide to dive in, the first jhana can be very disorienting. It's definitely a good idea seek help in integrating the experience. Feel free to message me, and I can help or at least point you in the right direction!

There are "attainments" or maps. A lot of teachers don't communicate them since it can be a bit of a trap, since striving to reach an attainments can prevent you from reaching it.

More contemporary dharma teachers have been willing to go into it. The jhanas is one such map.

As an intermediary step simply being able to stay with your breath for an hour while still being aware/not falling asleep is a good goal.
