I read some of the pages of Turing's Cathedral, and it read like an elaborate ad for Princeton. It also felt like a Princeton history. Whilr it is interesting, and I might finish it later, it is not something I was looking for or have

The last good original series I watched on Netflix is DarK. Really original and entertaining. Most originals were shit. I cancelled. I get Amazon Prime for free/quick delivery + music. I found Bosch in it. Really high quality stuff. Go

I use Simplenote as well. I find it to be a simple, no-nonsense product with everything I need. The editor understands Markdown, and you can make a note into a webpage with a single click, for free. Notion, Obsidian charge money for this. I

I had a very bad experience with a mid-range Dell. And so did many other people I know. Ditched that and switched to a low-range HP. All my work was on the cloud anyway. Worked really nice and exceeded all expectations. Linux worked just ou

Human brain is still primitive, nearly the same with that of a hunter-gatherer. Technology has progressed in an unthinkable pace. Society, economics have changed to keep up. Human brain did not have the time to evolve to the changed scenar

I really liked the TV series Halt and Catch Fire . It has a little amount of Hollywood nonsense around being "smart". But only very little. I loved this and would recommend it to everyone on HN. I also plan to rewatch it soon. I

I do it for convenience. I have fast internet, but battery consumption of tabs and mobile is too high for my comfort with data/wifi turned on. I download 4k/2k videos for anything super interesting and >= 30 minutes and watch t

I limit my social-media use to 30 minutes a day- each day at a particular time. In other times, I rather stare at a wall or eyeball the floor, even if I am waiting in a queue. This somehow improves my cognitive tasks a lot. I don't kno
