  1. If working for someone else causes you enough suffering you will be motivated enough to find a way out.
  2. Mind is not the issue, need the freedom to work on my own projects and vision, not someone else's.
  3. I use Scrivner a lot more than OneNote these days. Scrivner is good for organizing your writing if you are a writer. It is made for writers. I do most of my intellectual work inside it. But OneNote will be better for general notetaking.
  4. If the Saudis paid him enough he would play wearing a chicken suit. Makes me wanna see a serious football game where everyone wears animal costumes.
  5. @Thought Art I didn't know if you were joking or reading the wrong thing.
  6. Hunger is the key to losing weight. If you ain't a bit hungry you ain't losing weight.
  7. New show on FX. It's pretty goofy but I have been watching it just to see the stupid writing.
  8. Your weight will keep going down forever. Your body cannot adapt to less calories. Eventually you will starve to death. The only way for your body to survive a calorie deficit is to burn fat or muscle. It is bad if you eat so much of it that it makes you fat. Sugar is bad if you are trying to lose weight. Cut out all sugar.
  9. But John did that about other coaches to trash them and promote himself, so it boomeranged on him.
  10. Happens a lot on DPT. Just shake it out.
  11. You can lose 1-2 pounds per week if you run a decent calorie deficit and hunger. You are exercising too much. Fat loss is 10% exercise and 90% diet. The key to losing weight is to cut out sugar and refined carbs like wheat, potatoes, rice, and calorie dense processed foods. Eat mostly protein, fat, and low cal veggies.
  12. I got better things to do than sell the data of a few hundred people. But AI companies certainly scrape whatever you post for their greedy purposes.
  13. @Judy2 Hard to say. The trouble is that it takes like 20 hrs of study just to comprehend the signifigance of Spiral Dynamics. The book doesn't do it justice. So he might read it but get little change in his worldview out of it.
  14. It is useful to get a perspective on it other than mine. But the book is quite limited.
  15. My God, the Russian grates my ears. Lol
  16. LessWrong.com is a den for rationalists. Also, read the two rationality books from my book list.
  17. Imagine saying that to your neighbor's cat when she meows at you
  18. But we have no idea how long it will take to crack intelligence. Might be like hover cars. Just because Elon Musk wants a hover car doesn't mean he can build one. LLMs are like regular cars, and AGI is like hover cars. It is premature to start freaking out about hover cars.
