If you want to do Super Slow, great, but that is the original HIT, High Intensity (Strength) Training from Arthur Jones of Nautilus fame. I just went to YouTube and searched for HIIT. I don't see any videos of "moving slowly with form" (which is exactly what Super Slow is built around - 10 seconds concentric, 10 seconds eccentric, one set to failure).
You might be able to be a diesel mechanic and clean up in tech. This video is almost a year old, about applying Claude Code to boring businesses, a mobile diesel mechanic service in this case study: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWNFna6fgS8
And when that movie played on the Caltech campus in the early 70s, everyone waited for the point when the US and Russian computer started exchanging a private language and one engineer exclaims "That's like five years at Caltech in thirty seconds!" The entire theatre exploded and my ears hurt from the screams.
I put a Claude Code token on all my machines, local and cloud. Machines now practically fix themselves. Especially with NixOS, as soon as the basic install runs, it gets the Nix claude-code package. It's all downhill after that. OpenClaw hit a few weeks ago, so I took an ancient PC lying around, put NixOS on it, added Claude Code, and then Claude installed OpenClaw. Claude, tell me about the security posture of OpenClaw. "Would you like me to turn on the exec permissions feature and disable dangerous commands?" Claude does that and then turns around and tests that they are really turned off. My Telegram bot gets confused: "I'm sorry, I don't have a shell/exec to run that command. How did I run anything a few minutes ago?"
Are you sure about that? The sustainable operation of modern cars is in doubt, from very specialized parts and fully integrated modules, to critical software that will not be updated, to dealer keying required for most every substitute part, the era of anyone being able to run cars for 200,000 miles long after the warranty is over will soon be in the history books.
I got Connect by T-Mobile a few years ago when it was $10/mo prepaid ($11.03 with tax), and I am grandfathered in. It has a hard cap of 1GB/mo, then nothing. Then I got Hello Helium with a physical SIM on my exercise phone (out in the rain, at the gym) and it is completely free with ... wait for it ... 3GB/mo of data. Go figure. The Hello Helium app used to require location permission on at all times, but they eliminated that.
Why creating a World Logic Day? Human beings are classically considered as "Logical Animals" (Latinized as "Rational Animals"). Logic, as reasoning, is a central feature of human beings. It is not very difficult to see what can be promoted on January 14, considered as the World Logic Day: rationality, understanding and intelligence.
>>What legislation makes you think America is going to be re-industrialized?
>Several actually.
BBB passed. The others died. This Congress passed an historically low number of bills. If reindustrialization of America depends on Congress, we are doomed.
Isn't that part of Paul Graham's startup lore? They were running lisp web servers for their ecommerce store and while a customer was on the phone with an issue, they would patch the server live and ask the customer to reload. Customers would hang up convinced it was their personal glitch.
I have found Claude Code is a great help to me. Yes, I can and have tinkered a lot over the decades, but I am perfectly happy letting Claude drive the system administration, and advise on best practices. Certainly for prototype configurations. I can install CC on all VPSes and local machines. NixOS sounds great, but the learning curve is not fun. I installed the CC package from the NixOS unstable channel and I don't have to learn the funky NixOS packaging language. I do have to intervene sometimes as the commands go by, as I know how to drive, so maybe not a solution for true newbies. I can spend a few hours learning how to click around in one of the cloud consoles, or I can let CC install the command line interfaces and do it for me. The $20/mo plan is plenty for system administration and if I pick the haiku model, then CC runs twice as fast on trivial stuff like system administration.
Yes, that agrees with the addiction theory of Johann Hari, who has a TED talk and a book[0]. Experiments with rats show a rat will quickly be addicted when the choice is only between water and an opiate. But give the rat something other than a stark lonely existence, like exercise and sexual partners and rat friends, and they hardly use the drug. Similarly, many US servicemen in Vietnam became addicted to heroin while in country, but almost all simply stopped heroin when they were back home around friends and family.
>And further, as a juror, why would it enrage you to not see him comply? You say on a jury, you'd want to attack the defendant, but at that point you should not believe he is guilty, or innocent!
This is a criminal trial, a formal procedure society uses to determine the course of someone's life. Dozens of people, including me, are devoting several weeks of their lives to making a careful determination of guilt or innocence. His entire defense appears to be that he acted at all times "in good faith". He just spent a day on the stand testifying to his good faith efforts to run his company. Then he turns around and cannot even follow the simple requests in the process as we try to determine his guilt or innocence. Where the fuck are his good faith efforts in this testimony? Of course I am not going to actually attack the defendant, but now I have to work extra hard to separate this childish behavior from the actual facts of the case, as I deliberate on the charges.
The most unbelievable behavior on cross was described by Tiffany Fong. The prosecutor asked Sam to read a section on "preventing clawbacks", which was a head and then some text underneath. Sam read the text underneath out loud. Then she asked him to read the headline, "Preventing Clawbacks", too. So he said the following: "The first word is 'preventing'. The second word is 'clawbacks'."
If I was on a jury where the defendant pulled that, I would want to go up and punch him in the face. Tiffany was restrained. Her notes said she only wanted to slap him.
Sam Harris & Yuval Noah Harari answer a question about "peak" meditative experiences, and set them in context with psychedelic experiences in the segment starting at 1:27:20:
Exactly, Feynman is a seductive writer, and it is a shock how little you can immediately apply after "understanding" a section. Long ago, they used Feynman's books for my introduction to physics, and it was only after struggling with a problem set that we "knew" the material.
