<p>Climate change is too soft of a term. Maybe that's why it doesn't interest people who like to declare war on things.<p>The targeted term must be something that is clearly human made, something that sounds undeniably bad and something that is easily understood by everyone at first glance:<p>_War on Pollution_<p>Nature is good, pollution is bad. People who pollute are _obviously bad_ and they do bad things. Pollution is wasteful and ugly. Yuck!<p>Also it's more general than climate change. Ocean plastic is also bad. Chemical, electronic and  light pollution etc.<p>The people who think of chemtrails and 5g waves. They really hate pollution so much, they see it everywhere. Give them a war that they can join in.</p>

<p>These corporations exist and do work. Worker owned companies have their own challenges and their own advantages.<p>For example they tend to be more stable during crisis, because workers tend to vote for lowering salaries/benefits temporarily rather than doing layoffs. So they retain talent better. But they also tend to have difficulty to grow quickly, for obvious reasons.<p>Besides full on coops, there are also plenty of examples that are hybrids (partially worker owned).<p>> they would get their face eaten by other more efficient and ruthless corporations<p>You're possibly of assuming that a company needs to have an adversarial relationship to their workers in order to be competitive. I don't think that's generally true. This approach has advantages in specific situations, but disadvantages in others.</p>

<p>I‘m surpised at the presented dichotomy between JSON formatting and what the Apple SDK provides to parse output into structs.<p>Based on what I understand about how the former works, I would assume that the latter has the same properties and failure modes.</p>

<p>Local could also mean self hosted.<p>The obvious optimization for the case presented would be to generate all the summaries on a server instead of in the client. Then the totally used compute would scale with the number of articles instead of number of users.</p>

<p>Aside, but I struggled a long time with regular sleep. I have been a night owl since I was a kid. I experience late hours as magical, don’t know how to describe it. So I always slept too little, then not at all, then drifting and sleeping in.<p>But I somehow managed to have a regular schedule and now I start to sleep at 00:00-01:00 very often, sometimes even earlier.<p>No idea how I managed to do that. I guess I just did improve many small things, like getting rid of bad habits, being more content, appreciating sleep more, prioritizing things differently.<p>I wish everyone good, healthy sleep.</p>

<p>It seems to me that this sort of work is a usecase that’s actually very fitting use case for LLM agents and the like. Because they can be trained and tuned to find commonly known vulnerability patterns.<p>Here, something that looks like the thing is a strong signal, as long as the probability is high enough to be useful.<p>Remember Netflix‘ chaos monkey?</p>

<p>Apparently movement plus focus on the distance has a calming, clearing effect on the mind.<p>Do you have a similar experience when walking or running (deliberately)?</p>

<p>Rumi (the Sufi mystic) apparently walked and turned in circles in order to contemplate. The tradition merges music and movement with philosophy and religious mysticism.<p>Walking, dancing or manual labor (for example gardening or cleaning) can all be done in a meditative way.<p>But these are likely different types of meditation that have different effects. Even just a calm, sitting meditations might be vastly different from another, depending on the meditation object.<p>Of course there are people who lean into specific types over the others as you describe, but I think many of these activities share a common core and experience.</p>

<p>LLMs have a lot of issues with facts, because they are probabilistic and you typically only get one answer per query instead of multiple covering a larger space.<p>However, they are still useful in these cases if you know the above and use their output as a starting point to think and ask questions.</p>
