If you want to understand the nature of the mind, first being fully aware of your grasping to existence

The Heart Sutra is a mistranslation. It actually translates to The Mind Sutra. It is a condensed script of understanding the true nature of the mind.

I feel like agents made me more anxious, even though my productivity skyrocketed and I feel more alive doing work

What if your innate personality is symbiotic and you cant eliminate your own suffering cultivating from within?

Cant stop this awareness from getting pulled away by the world.

your job isn't you. but watching AI do your job feels like watching someone else wear your face. that's not loss. that's discovering you were never the mask

the algorithm keeps showing you what you're afraid to let go of

we built entire management layers to coordinate slow humans. AI makes those layers obsolete but the people in them won't realize it until they're asked to make strategic calls instead of tactical ones. turns out that's a completely different skill. most don't have it

tech keeps removing friction like it's a bug. but friction is a feature. it's the pause before you act. the moment you think. take that away and you're just reacting on autopilot

the "SaaSpocalypse" freakout misses the point. realizing you're replaceable isn't the problem. thinking you had to be irreplaceable in the first place was

Being able to resist lifestyle inflation is a superpower. Even after all these years my main pleasures in life still remain reading, hiking, biking, hanghing out with friends, training massive ML models on hyperscale computatational resources, photography, and watching movies.

I realised gpt4o hallucinates more with math problems than gpt4. Try something like "prove R^n and R^m are a bijection". Gpt4o gives a bullshit answer, while Gpt4 gives a correct answer. Gpt4o also hallucinates halfway into a proof, then unhallucinates itself.

Crazy story of the week: The tragic incident surrounding the Netflix adaptation of the "Three Body Problem" series is not widely known among its fans. Lin Qi, a visionary and brilliant young billionaire, acquired the rights to the "Three Body Problem" with the ambition of creating various products from it. He enlisted the expertise of Xu Yao, a distinguished lawyer, appointing him CEO to spearhead the business operations, including securing a deal with Netflix—a feat for which Lin compensated Xu with a salary of nearly $3 million. However, Xu's performance did not meet expectations beyond the Netflix agreement, leading Lin to reduce his salary to $750,000 and bring in additional executives to enhance business operations. Xu, retaining his CEO title, was reportedly infuriated by this demotion and further aggravated by not being credited as a producer on the Netflix project. Driven by revenge and inspired by the TV show "Breaking Bad," Xu meticulously planned Lin's murder. He purchased 160 phones and established a company in Japan to acquire the necessary chemicals for his scheme, testing them on animals. Xu then poisoned Lin and his colleagues, disguising the lethal substances as an advanced probiotic. Lin unsuspectingly consumed it and soon after was hospitalized, where it was immediately apparent he had been poisoned, though the specific toxins were unknown. The police quickly suspected Xu, who, had he disclosed the nature of the poisons (later found to have included exotic substances such as pufferfish poison and mercury and at least three other poisons), could have saved Lin's life. However, he chose not to, ensuring Lin's demise. Just a few days ago, as the show was premiering globally, Xu was finally sentenced to death for the murder of Lin and attempted murder of two other colleagues, who survived but with lifelong injuries. Lin Qi, credited as an executive producer on the Netflix project posthumously, passed away at the age of 39. RIP 🕯️

Awawawawa!
