I honestly don't feel rewarding learning anymore. I might be depressed, because I feel all human experiences are overrated. And such, learning is such futile exercise in postponing the reality of life.

I give you the permission, but license cost for using my things is 30% of the revenue.

Me too. Every time I click on a medium link, 5 seconds in and I already closed the tab.

We don't need a thesis. Just get to the damn point.

The amount of wasted resources in the open source community will never cease to amaze me.

I do understand that's the advantage of open source. But I still think this is a waste of time.

I don't like the color blue. Can we change it?

I did not understand the extra EXT4 volume. Do you mind explaining me the advantages of this workflow?

I need a new home laptop. Just for web browsing, streaming videos.

I hate MacOS. I used MacOS for 10 years. When came back to Windows, I felt as I can breathe again.

I hate there are no comparable price/performance in Windows world.

W11 Pro is awesome. I think currently it is the best OS.

Professional softwares, WSL2 and awesome native apps (Dopus, AHK2...)

I always try Linux but the fragmented nature just is not for me for desktop usage.

What do you mean by intelligence? And by your definition of it, can intelligence be improved intentionally or it happens as it happens like for evolution? If it happens by intention then why we have not pushed it at its maximium yet?

Yeah, and those desk with metal bar under the edges are a pain. Always in obstructing my legs and movements. They are sturdy and very nice to look at.

I very much prefer adjustable height desks.

Man that's what I've been asking people all the time: what is our end goal? When will we say "this is enough", we can stop here? If we don't know the answers for these question, then we better find answers before going "forward" blindly.

Maybe that's why some people love rimming? Is that a natural instinct to get more microbiome?

Imagine people like Sam Altman having access to frontier models without any restrictions that allows them plot strategies to reach their goal in a long term timespan that you don't even realize when it even began.

That's scary. They could fight for censored model for the mass, not for them.
