I'd argue that like all technology, social technology serves to increase efficiency, not happiness. Highly recommend https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Technological_Society

To me it all feels suffocating, fake. Simultaneously there's a faint glimmer of hope that we indeed achieve AGI, unlock fusion and live happily ever after in an utopian, peaceful and mostly analog world.

Nobody claimed it's a new word. Still, the frequency increased 100x over the last days, subjectively speaking.

Was the idea sold the same way? You obviously need to get buy in across the org, which in itself can be a daunting task and requires you to create various pitch decks, project plans etc.

What works for me: Goal setting (e.g. OKR), taking baby steps and autopiloting. Can't manage to do X for 30mins a day? I'll go down to as low as 5mins to do thing X if that is required to still do it consistently. If I manage to g

I do wonder whether a human could come up with a working solution for this problem without querying physical reality, i.e. experimentation. Parts of reality are uncomputable, so they can only be arrived at by letting the universe simulate i

How do you know you're building the right thing? Who is paying your salary? Are you regularly talking to all stakeholders? Congrats, now most of your time is spent in meetings. You don't want that? Now you have to talk to project

A compromise people seem to overlook: Use a single Lambda with internal routing.

Flagging emails as "to be read later", keeping track of responses I'm waiting for, reminders, ... all tricky to do when using paper.

I might be naive, but what if you buy a burner phone/notebook on the flea market, wait a couple months, then use a public WiFi with some precautions (no cameras around, leave your phone home) to post the content? Maybe I'm severel

You would want journalists to find it. Your average Joe isn't reading blogs.

Since switching to GTD, I've removed most of my pre-planned blockers and it's working well. How is color coding helping with the fact that according to GTD, only actual appointments should be put into the calendar?

I recently found https://thebaffler.com/ after watching an interview with its publisher, Thomas Frank, which resonated with me (left-leaning but anti-woke). I haven't read much of it to evaluate yet, though.

Did taking molybdenum improve metabolism of caffeine in your case? Did you have blood markers checked? For me, some values like GPT/GGT are in fact increased for unknown reasons. I recently and unsuccessfuly researched ways to particip

Very interesting suggestion, will look into it. L-theanine has long been a staple of mine to counteract the effects of coffee. Typically have to redose at 4am, as the cortisol spike keeps me awake otherwise (that is, from a small coffee 26h

That's exactly what I'm doing by drinking barley coffee. With some milk and sugar it's getting close to coffee (minus all the aromatic flavor)

I'd love if all psychoactive compounds could be removed from coffee beans. The stress response and inability to sleep I get from decaf beans is pretty much comparable to that from normal beans (and distinctly different from pure caffei

Not exactly what you asked, but: Since introducing a GTD-like system using MS To-Do (any similar app suffices) I noticed my note taking to decline steeply. These days I use OneNote for meetings notes at work and a physical notebook for refl

Unlike communism, it's not a centrally enforced ideology, but something that either happens in a controlled or unontrolled fashion.

There won't ever be, until it's too late. We're propped up by unsustainable tech, ocean temperatures are on the rise. So we ignore it and continue?

The main issue with current LLMs is that they're autoregressive, i.e. you feed in the whole previous text to generate the next token, which seems extremely wasteful. Here are some recent slides by LeCun on that topic: https:/&#x2
