"Why is this person allowed in here? Why are they even allowed in society at all? Yet we cannot remove him. This is [expletive]!"
That was a dream I had. It was a Chinese restaurant. The employees wanted to remove me but somehow I was friends with management.
It might be a metaphor for how some people are born crazy but nevertheless exist and I might be one of them.
Finland proving the supremacy of "Subs not Dubs". Noted for future reference.
Almost anyone who has a semi-useful technical or trade skill and can manage communications, marketing, sales etc is liable to become extremely rich. Almost anyone with no skills except they can talk to people and…
Pilgrimages were still a big thing among early Christians. For example, in Acts 20:16 it notes how Paul was trying to be in Jerusalem for Pentecost. Now this was around 55 AD.
Re: Smart TVs. An old laptop running a browser with an ad blocker and some fancy controller setup (perhaps a wireless multi-button mouse or a specialized remote control) can get you way more privacy (and the sanity of a…
Nice. Looks like a way to have achievable live text transcripts via tiny devices without using APIs.
Regenerative farmers posting on hacker news gives me hope for humanity. Thanks. Apparently anyone in US/Canada can just ask for a farm and practically get one at this point. Either via USDA / private loans or indie…
Gulag Archipelago and various China / Vietnam / North Korea prison memoirs are really good to study also. This is stuff tens of millions of people went through.
Less "social" media, more social research paper / life hack resharing makes the world a better place. PS: Always hide the best meme in endnote 14 so your fellow meme scientists know exactly where to find the real…
Plato: Writing will make people forgetful.
Been mucking around with huge doses of B Vitamins (especially B3/Niacin) and 5-HTP (a serotonin precursor). Both of those are rather, uh, effectful. 500mg+ Niacin will turn you red unless you're actually deficient. And…

Open up the GIMP and start making joke meme comics. Laughter is the best medicine.
I feel like I'm in a similar boat. Like 6 different mental disorders including constantly pulling my hair out. I've contemplating sales calls. You can theoretically make like on the order of over $1000/hour while…
Endless mountain of todo lists on desk: Index cards. Put them in a box when there are too many and let the unreasonable goals expire. (Optional: Trade them with your friends after a year.) Personal notes: A waterproof…
PS: The domain www.particleacceleratorferrets.com is currently available as of my posting this. I'm not necessarily saying we shouldn't domesticate raccoons, but we have to be really careful about what animals are…

I recall looking at a stable diffusion metric https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/stable-diffu... And between this and some Whisper benchmarks on data center GPUs I worked out this formula approximation…
Yeah, you have to force the results into strict JSON, enforce it, and handle a lot of error cases, and be prepared to give up or reroll on failure. It basically takes a 2nd LLM pass to standardize the JSON keys of the…
Make the information easily accessible to customers. But actually sell the categorized review data to the restaurants themselves. They will appreciate the feedback/info and can afford to pay something for it on a…
This is why I love jobs where you get paid based on a sales commission rather than in mystical dollar-hours. Get 10x the results, get 10x the pay.

I've wanted to see something like this, but as a browser add-on with a crazy amount of connectivity between sites allowing search/discovery. If you do anything "social", it either has to be useful to the 1st user or you…
