I run 4 days a week (4km per day), fast for two days (72 hours total) do two gym strength workouts, one sauna session, and two Zumba classes. I also do cold showers daily. Floating once a week, facial ferment therapy once a week.

And still, I feel like hell today (and it is only Friday morning)

I used to run half a marathon every Thursday in a fasted (36 hours) state, but now I can't, I became weak and frail. Aging gets us all!


if humans stop age and live for thousands years, then there is no need for specific replacement rate.

Alternative, make it possible to have kids without heavy burden on the woman body.

Alternative, make it possible to become pregnant at 50-60 years.

This is all research vectors that we should work on, and not doom on hypothetical what ifs in the future!


I am piloting a super sophisticated mech that is a literal home (primordial soup) for other tiny specs that cooperate together.

And more and more I ask this question. Why? There is only recursive answer, to copy itself, so the copy could continue piloting.

It is poetic and really weird.


I am "fastened to a dying animal", at least you're proud of your fancy mech.


They should make an anime series about that.


They could call it "Diffusion Dave", or maybe "Jobs for Cells"


Unless we learn how to live for billions of years.

it looks like female => attractive


Your data is incorrect. That ranking is for male vs female (higher number = female).

The hot vs not score is a separate score. (e.g you have Big Arc chicken as a 2.5. That means mostly male. It's hotness score is 5.5)


It's probably more like "interested in social media" -> more likely to have a very good shot of you as your profile pic -> more likely to be considered attractive.

So perhaps this is really just searching for restaurants that people into social media review.


This was the first thing that stood out to me too.

I sampled quite some dark red markers, representing "attractive", and on the balance they're almost always overwhelmingly reviewed by females.

There were some exceptions though. Especially in the south west for Chinese cuisine.


at which point AI thing stops being a Stone soup?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup

You need an expert who knows what to do and how to do it to get good results. Looks like coding with extra steps to me

I DO use AI for some tasks. When I know exactly what I want done and how I want it done. The only issue is busy typing, which AI solves.


AI is already very impressive for natural language formatting and filtering, we use it for ratifying profiles and posts. and it takes around like an hour to implement this from scratch, and there are no alternatives that can do the same thing as comprehensively anyways


this, 100% i've been running 35km while fasted for 36 hours, and it is way more difficult than when you allow yourself to eat a snickers on the way.

now i am running my weekly half-marathons with something sweet, and it has been awesome. Like really no big deal.


just tell them something nonsensical. They are unable to take a hint and continue with the nonsense. They start to be stuck on local minima. All of them. Video/images/text. I haven't seen LLM that is able to take a hint and understand the hidden meaning in absurdity of following up.

there is infinitely larger amount of prompts that will break a model than prompts that won't break it.

you just have to search outside of most probable space


It just feels so good to think that I can just get out and forget all about it. It relaxes me, and it brings me tears of joy.

Yesterday I've spent 8 hours hoping that I could do a super easy task, I had to cry before I could focus and do that (it took me 15 minutes, mental preparation for it took me 7 hours).

The problem though, I haven't interviewed for 6 years and it is very likely that I will not find anything for at least a year.

Another problem, I don't feel like coding, ever. I've spent 15 years doing it and, in general, I am not passionate about it at all. I just don't want to do it anymore.

After I've written entire systems that serve ok (I hope). I just can't do a single if statement without DPDR symptoms anymore.

I am so thoroughly done, I just can't imagine doing this for another month. Boss knows, everyone else knows too. I sort of coast for a month and then it is likely that I am gone. I hope I will be gone on good terms.

The biggest question is what is next for me in life? I have absolutely no idea.


As a person who did 21km run in fasted state (didn't eat for 36 hours before) and then swam in a 7 degrees pond with ice, I can definitely say: NO.

I tried for 8 hours straight to code just a little bit, but was unable to. I guess that is burnout, or, in general, understanding that I am not interested in all this computer stuff anymore after doing it for 15 years.


Yeah, the other stuff sounds like more fun to me as well :)
