<p>My hunger feels 8 trillion times worse than an obese person’s. Since I am making the claim, everyone else has to affirm it now.</p>

<p>But it is factually true that it’s a matter of willpower, no amount of reframing it is going to change that.<p>It’s not like others like myself, currently on a cut cycle, don’t experience hunger. The idea that we are just “lucky” ignores all the willpower and discipline we fight through to do it ourselves.<p>I’ve eaten about 800 calories today and it is 4pm. Just finished 90 minutes on the indoor bike. My stomach feels hungry. I experience that and just sit with it. That is the difference.</p>

<p>Interesting read. In modern life almost everyone experiences at least a brief if perhaps isolated/niche version of fame. We are just so heavily connected in so many different networks, it just statistically is likely to happen at some point.<p>It is a mixed bag for sure, but in terms of risk/reward it is best to have an accurate understanding of both sides so you can make damn sure you are optimizing for the right thing.</p>

<p>Theres this pattern where you make your wealth off dubious means, then one day become born again and start a new life where you gain more popularity and influence by speaking out against the reason you have a megaphone at all. These people interestingly never give away that naughty wealth they now regret so much.</p>

<p>I think it is reasonable to expect privacy when reading social media. Not so much when posting routinely to millions of people while claiming to be some non-anonymous person you aren’t.<p>Does the distinction not make sense from your perspective?</p>

<p>Is this a digital reader? My readings were always high both at the doctors and at home. Bought an old school analog cuff and stethoscope, now it’s like 120/70 almost every time.<p>It was apparently the lack of control and the whizzing motor. Having direct fine control over the pump is downright relaxing in comparison.</p>

<p>I’m mid 40s and took the other route. I was self-taught and decide long ago that I never wanted to manage other people. So instead now I run a small solo audio company. Never have to deal with anyone but my own customers. I consider it a craft not a startup.<p>It isn’t for everyone but whatever LLMs end up being for us all, in this position they seem more likely to be an asset than a liability. If they are good enough to replace me then they can be my army.</p>

<p>LLMs basically act as defense attorneys for all your dumbest ideas. It is very easy to assume their confidence in you is justified, especially if you already lean narcissistic.<p>You now see threads on X of famous people using Grok to explain how smart their ideas are. But there’s a problem: You can literally get it to do that with every single dumb idea.</p>
