You remember bad things that happen to you way more than any good things that happen to you. That's because historically it was a question of survival. Bad thing could kill you. Nice thing is nice, not so important. When something good happens to you, think of it for 10 seconds. Pause,enjoy for 10s

I have a weird feeling that this is the reason why all social media turns negative sooner or later. Will it happen to BlueSky? Did it already happen?

"AI is cancerous and parasitic" Parasitic because it drains resources from humans and sucks on their creativity, without giving back, like parasites do. Cancerous because it grows under the radar without us noticing. Interesting thought by Freya Holmér. Freya went to Google to find out about ...

"I was just thinking how [ChatGPT]'s really kind of making me lazy, it's like taking my creativity away from me, especially when I use it in a situation, where I'm trying to produce something, I'm trying to create a new YouTube video I'm trying to figure out how to set up a certain scene or...

... but it took engineers and managers and other staff months or years to get it _right_). Maybe the future of the Internet is similar. Lots of mass-produced barely-digestible content (like NetFlix's "distracted watching" content), some artisans still producing handcrafted content.

"Can you name one really successful person who has a negative outlook on life? I can't." (From the book I'm reading)

One more thing I find incredibly useful is "Study with me" videos. I mean it keeps you in check for 20-30-60 minutes, you see someone working hard and you do the same. It becomes normal to focus instead of switching back and forth between random things. Or at least it pulls you back constantly.

"The rules of nature have changed! You can get yourself healthy simply by following health experts on Twitter and blogging about your desire to be fit." I loved this quote from a book I'm reading. Makes fun of all the 2.0 "gurus" preaching anything...

The rules have changed, you don't have to do Anything. The stuff will just come to you naturally. Now give me $5,000 for the course I'm selling you which will say the same thing in just 5 hours. Then at the end... ...I will sell you an even longer $10,000 one! You can't miss it!

I loved this description of nano-vectordb. Everything is there at a glance.

I'm starting to think about LLM-assisted coding like an another level of compiler. I have very vague idea what computer really does when I do something like `let x = {y: 3}` (like, the heap, refcounting, assembly, etc), with AI-coding I get a step higher...
