Actionable advice: be generous and notice how it feels. Then just be nice for the pleasant satisfaction it gives.

Psychodelics allow brain to change, but the change is not guaranteed to be positive.

It's normal. Run slow and have breaks every minute. It will improve pretty fast (every run will be slightly but noticeably better than the previous one).

For people familiar with snapshot testing: instead of snapshotting pixels, try snapshotting the semantic tree. Basically, you generate a textual representation of your UI, and then compare it against pre-recorded reference.

Reason is overrated. Knowing that smoking is unhealthy is not sufficient to stop oneself from smoking.

Dart is a meh language but their focus on hot reload single handedly made it worth it's existence.

Body is reflecting one's lifestyle. I would say the trap is attempting to lose weight while keeping the fat person lifestyle. "I'll do this temporary measure for X days and I will stay lean forever afterwards".

For Swift, it would be more natural to use SPM instead of CMake.

Random thought: what LLMs do may be just a tiny fraction of what real brains do, so artificial reasoning is probably a much easier problem than an artifical brain.

I don't quite get the connection between ADHD and feeling like a spectator.

The approach of generating something and then looking for hallucinations is just stupid. To validate the output I have to be an expert. How do I become an expert if rely on LLMs? It's a dead end.

Am I the only person that dislikes progressive loading? Especially if it involves content jumping around. And the most annoying antipattern is showing empty state UI during loading phase.

Conscious experience seems to be single threaded, we know that brain synchronizes senses (for example sound of a bouncing ball needs to be aligned with visual of bouncing ball), but IMO it's not so obvious what is the reason for it. Th

What baffles me the most is testability of SwiftUI. It simply does not exist.

Try loving kindness meditation, never took MDMA but the realizations you describe feel very familiar.

Interesting. Let's say we have those and also 30k real unique images, my guess is that real ones would have more useful information in them, but is this measurable? And how much more?

you didn't get a refund because the promise of refund was also hallucinated.

Interesting. I like running, but need to force myself for any strength training. I wonder if I'm doing the "running too fast" version of calisthenics.

Awesome idea, I wonder how long it will take to write a coherent sentence.

This either ends at "better than 50% of human novels" garbage or at unimaginably compelling works of art that completely obsoletes fiction writing. Not sure what is better for humanity in long term.

SwiftUI's views are already view models, they describe how the actual view should look like. The tragedy is that SwiftUI does not offer any testing instruments besides UI testing.

Sometimes a webpage works only on Chrome somehow. Would be fun if Firefox had some kind of extension to emulate Chrome for those scenarios.

It's impressive how bad Xcode is, phoning home is just a cherry on the very top.

IMO it would make the most sense if code generation was integral part of the dart build system. Few years ago I described shortcomings of build_runner on github https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/63323

The whole guide could be retitled as: how to cultivate your own psychosis. The technology is sound but does not lead to wellbeing. I think Buddhists figured it out (at least some of them). For example metta practice could be thought of as a

The most nasty thing about antipsychotics is that getting off them causes psychotic symptoms - even in healthy people. So you if you get psychotic for some reason (even meditation can induce it) and start taking those drugs, you can be late
