My life strategy now: - Get a high-income skill: programming, start working and save at least 50% of income if not more - Get into above-average health & set up systems to keep getting healthier every year Then with newfound energy & cash I'll accelerate skill-acquisition

Got a mini Nordic bench, I’ll post my first rep attempt here soon I bet that everyone- even high school athletes- will be doing Nordic curls this decade and those who don’t will be left behind athletically

Sun -> energy

Okay, let's run the numbers. 2/3s of the production of ATP depend on our light environment. So, sunlight > coffee.

Problem with self help is it puts the cart before the horse. Who you need to BE always secondary to what you want to DO. Self improvement is organic and inevitable when you have a fiery desire in your heart. You don't need a system, you need an outcome worth bleeding for

Stunning images (theorems -> midjourney) Recommend scrolling down the thread, some are better than the first Twitter Algo got really good recently

I described some of the most beautiful and famous mathematical theorems to Midjourney. Here is how it imagined them: 1. "The set of real numbers is uncountably infinite."

Pretty cool stuff Already encountered the topic a while back, but reading reccs are nice here

Got asked what I'd recommend to someone who is interested in getting into the art of memory, I'll write it out as a thread

I am learning about Inverted Polish Notation for a cpp exercise, interesting I learned about polish notation when @Conaw was talking about Clojure But ipn is another thing, I don't if it's more efficient but I like how it works

low volume high frequency exercise looks interesting I will try it Short sets, not many exercises, more workouts during the week olympic lifters do it this way (I want to do olympic-like lifting I think anyway)

Set your eyes on Great Heights, and your body will produce energy
Jash Dholani | link in bio has my books!
@oldbooksguy8 Apr 2023
You are depressed because you're stuck with small irrelevant bullshit. Even Julius Caesar would have trouble getting out of bed if he had nothing but a day of spreadsheets ahead. If you don't have your eyes set on Great Heights, your body will simply not produce energy

Great point Quoting from bottom of Visa's thread: "if AI is electricity, what is the lightbulb? answering this question well, beautifully, convincingly, is what will get you to the iphone moment"

i rewatch the 2007 iphone presentation several times a year so i am quite comfortable saying that no, we're not there yet. there are many people who are eager to say that we're there. yes, progress is being made! we're getting *closer* to an iphone moment! but we're not there yet

What keeps me busy these days: - Working harder/smarter to reach my goal of finishing 42's common core by June (I'm late on my plan) - Gardening because it feels good and I want to make my parents' garden looking better/producing things

I did drop the goal of learning esperanto after 3 weeks, as I found no real reason to learn it. I will now only acquire skills if they help me achieve something I really want to do, or if it is something I thoroughly enjoy doing (intrinsic motivation is key to learn faster)

A new focus is improving my communication skills. On walks I record myself articulating ideas, will record videos too (not sure I'll share, just impromptu speaking practice) I will also practice for job interviews to handle them confidently, and prep my cv, LinkedIn, all that

Extremely important when coding Sometimes you get on the wrong path/have bad ideas, and you're emotionally attached to the past ᶰ hours of work you've put into it But the faster you scrap it and start from scratch, sooner the problem is solved. Immediately feel lighter after

Example PlantUML is very intuitive and fun
ENERGY@sentient_cell23 Mar 2023
If you do OOP, try asking chatgpt to do some UML diagrams for your current project, in the plantUML language, and then paste here plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/ Have fun

LLMs are a good learning tool for technical stuff Improve your prompts, accelerate the learning process. You've gotta be a sharper generalist with ability to understand things deeply (in order to debug and architect) to stay relevant

If you're just starting to learn software engineering right now but you're considering dropping it because you think the field might be made obsolete by AI, I have an alternative approach to suggest for you: Start learning now, and use AI tools to learn FASTER

Getting through an engineering school is one of the best things you can do if you have a creative mind Straightens you out, shakes off delusions, teaches work ethic/problem-solving/logical thinking When you switch to creative/biz, you have unfair ability/confidence to execute

@almightykazs18 Mar 2023
There was a time I thought I had wasted my time getting an engineering degree Went completely 180 on it. It has been one of the key factors in having a savage work ethic and being solution focused. Allows unfair advantage in thinking, process and troubleshooting.
