I wonder if fasting of some sort is able to reset these effects somehow - shoot any material on that if you know of it!

Or for that matter, a transform that's learned from the data :) A neural net for the transform itself!

> When you approach work with humility and curiosity, you learn more and participate more fully. Good collaborators value these qualities. A beginner’s mind is an asset. Staying close to your authentic self helps you find your true calling.

Love this.

You're living in the perfect time then! With tools like Cursor AI, I find myself writing less and less code to achieve a product outcome.

First question will be what do you enjoy and how can you do more of that? Or enjoyment aside, what is it you would like to achieve.

Difficult, I know.

And capitalists! Those who _own_ the means of production (AI, robots....).

If you have equity in an AI etc company, you'll be flying.

Wealth concentration may increase, barring a revolution.

Looking forward to being able to save specific words/phrases for future review + audio functionality + pinyin for Chinese please :)

Zuckerberg has never liked having Android/iOs as gatekeepers i.e. "platforms" for his apps.

He's hoping to control AI as the next platform through which users interact with apps. Free AI is then fine if the surplus value created by not having a gatekeeper to his apps exceeds the cost of the free AI.

That's the strategy. No values here - just strategy folks.

Whatever you do, try to do it incrementally in phases. That way, you'll learn iteratively :)

Or perhaps statistics is reasoning generalised? E.T. Jayne's classic on this makes the case, I'd encourage reading the first chapter - https://www.amazon.com/Probability-Theory-Science-T-Jaynes/d....
