Regularly and intentionally spend time considering the opposite.

This helps you to check your paradigms.

It also helps if you search for content which contradict your current thinking rather than support it, just to get that perspective.

For example, if you’re super organised, a book like A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits Of Disorder may help you to see things in a different light.

Oh ok, sure, I didn’t think of it that way 🤷🏻‍♂️

I do agree with you, though why not just not buy cars which have touch screen controls? You don’t need legislation to filter your purchases.

Consider another market: businesses looking to identify current topics of interests / discussions that are relevant to what they are doing.

The AI could summarise the posts and offer suggestions on what to post, when to post, where to post, etc., with references to the posts / threads that they’re basing this information on.

This is all bundled as an online marketing tool, targeted towards small businesses focused on growth.

Yep, it says things though has no understanding of what it is saying: much like strolling through a pet shop, passing the parrot enclosure, and hearing and recoiling at the little kid swear words it cheeps out.

It was thought that sodium ions and lithium ions couldn’t be used together in a single solid-state electrolyte system due to their chemical qualities, but the AI system indicated that such a material was possible. When the researchers tested the idea, it turned out to be true.

I know that; when you develop a website, you typically design mobile-first and then design the desktop version afterwards. If you’re just building it as an application you can skip a whole lot of CSS and design nonsense that would go into that process.

Also, a mobile app design is a fundamentally different design process to desktop. It requires extra time / effort to develop for both.

Ad revenue. It is harder to block ads on mobile than it is on desktop.

I studied systems theory, I’m just recounting what I know based on how I understand systems work.

pp. 83-5 Thinking in Systems Donella Meadows talks about hierarchy, resilience, etc.

We are in a more resilient position outside the EU than we were inside of it; we are dictating our own laws, we are becoming more stable by no longer relying on immigration to fill in the gaps of our job market, no longer reliant on foreign aid.

In the short term, of course this is painful. It’s withdrawal symptoms. In the long-term, it means that the UK will stick around for longer, regardless of whatever turmoil our neighbours get into.

I think we were always told it was going to be bad before it got better.

I wasn’t old enough to vote for Brexit at the time (just under the voting age), and I likely would have voted for Remain had I had the chance, though it feels a little unreasonable to judge the outcome of the Brexit decision just yet.

Looks interesting, though I feel like the ground being this indestructible plane takes away from it. I’d want to be able to ground stomp craters, create earthquakes, have some sort of ground physics there.

Reminds me of Katamari.

That’s not how you respond to someone saying “people are stupid.”

That’s not true at all. If I had the means to do so, I would be donating more, though I’m living pretty precariously myself.

“Open”AI. This blocking manoeuvre kills progress.

Mindfulness practice, set the intention to consciously watch everything your mind is doing.

This kind of practice may also help with getting back to sleep.

That’s completely normal; the sensations are caused by some energy you’ve stored inside of you being re-activated. If you can follow those sensations to the root, the thorn, and then gradually work at that thorn, you can do some serious mental cleansing. If you’re able to remove all of the thorns, you will experience this zen-like peace for anything and everything that comes your direction.

This Michael Singer guy did a whole bunch of that kind of introspection, figured it all out, then wrote three different books on the process.

Share with them generated videos of us hanging out with other alien species, having a good time, etc. and make it seem like they’re missing out.

The lumps in the sand are where they bury the bodies
