And when you layer on top networking, it's another level of sw/hw complexity.

Does meditation really work for everyone? I tried it pretty seriously for 2 months, and my mind just wouldn't stop. I'd think of nothing for 10 seconds and then get extremely bored, so essentially every 10 seconds I'd force myself back. It didn't really have any calming effect.

Learning to calmly reset over and over, is normal.

The less reactive we are to the need to reset, the less the distractions control us.

And, the more reseating our mind becomes an instinctive habit, the more wind is lost for distractions. And the more likely the distraction cycle fades or lengthens.

The goal isn’t to never have to reseat our minds. Just be better at holding our minds. On what we choose. Something simple at first, like breathing. Wider focused awareness as we get meditation muscle, like listening to our physical body, then our feelings, then our day, then the trajectory of our life, our values, etc. Whatever is important to visit regularly with the whole focus of our mind.

The ability to meditate spills into our days. We get better at choosing and maintaining our focus on what is important.

We can view the distractions as the workout of a steep hike. Not the problem at all, but the terrain, chosen precisely to require adaptation to overcome.

But everyone is different, and our minds and nervous systems are complex, so that’s just one take.

My prediction is that software will be so cheap that very soon, economy of scale gives way to maximum customization which means everyone writes their own software. There will be no software market in the future.

Possibly which means devs will have to pivot ... I dont know where though since it would mean most jobs are over and a new economy must be invented

We often hear claims like "do this and you'll make so much money" or "this is so good it's unbelievable." Occasionally, they turn out to be true. I've experienced a couple myself and feel fairly positive about the current one. The initial resistance comes from not wanting them to be true because then I know I either have to take action or risk missing out. It's a weird psychological thing that I now try hard to avoid.

I see much more of the other way round, people who fall for get rich quick schemes.

Every time I want to watch a movie, I go on Netflix and search. Then I want to scream, "What movie DOES Netflix have??"

If an outsider is ever allowed to have a simplified mental model of why nvidia was unbeatable, here's mine:

- they were way ahead, and they didn't make any big mistakes

- they weren't waiting for others to catch up. They were aggressively improving

- memory bandwidth is almost always the bottleneck. Hence systolic array is "overrated". Furthermore, interconnect is the new bottleneck now

- cuda offers the most flexibility in the world of ever changing model requirements

Apparently it has an integrated guide on the right side of the page, which is "Based on \"The Kernel in The Mind\" by Moon Hee Lee".

which is static and not context-aware for the code of choice?

By making it enough of a nuisance such that the next time you book a hotel, any hotel, for 2 platonic friends you are strongly nudged to book two separate rooms.

I did not know this but it's consistent with the behaviors of the CEO.

Thoughts on photography when it first appeared:

"Not by the taking of a picture of any specific object, but by the way in which any random object could be made to appear on the photographic plate. This was something of such unheard-of novelty that the photographer was delighted by each and every shot he took, and it awakened unknown and overwhelming emotions in him..."
