It takes a really different state of mind to start a cigarette habit especially due to awful taste and effect of ingesting a strong concentration of chemicals on your body that has nothing to do with dosed concentration of 'mostly just' nicotine.

It may be anecdotal and subjective reasoning, but I battled vape addiction differently than cigarette addiction. I'd classify tobacco addiction more of an emotional addiction, while vaping was more based on nicotine addiction which was more mechanical and predictable than the former.

I think that relationships are crucial for the quality of living and not seeking depth in those may be more detrimental than most things I mentioned above.

Especially, the today's 'connected' societies which often give false premise of socializing and promote ideas of isolating yourself from deeper relationships.

People forget that we use computers for accuracy, not smarts. Smarts make mistakes.

It left so bitter taste in my mouth when it started to lose track of item quantities after just a few iterations of prompts. No matter how improved it gets, it will always remind me the fact that you are dealing with an icky system that will eventually return some unexpected result that will collapse your entire premise and hopes into bits.

Main difference between gold and bitcoin is in its history. Gold as a type of investment instrument has already earned its reputation and status. It’s not just a commodity, it’s a financial instrument that had its use in building and making of history and it’s well integrated, recognized and supported by most government and societies.

We still don’t know what Bitcoin really is and how it behaves. It could be valued 10k times up or down next year and there could be no clear reason why that happened. Bitcoin is not in hands of most powerful companies, people and governments and change of its value would not affect anything but net worth of certain individuals or organizations.

By no means, I think bitcoin is here to stay and it has a very clear future as an investment and payment instrument. But I think it’s really silly to say Bitcoin is speculative as much as other investment instruments.

Or imagine having a senior engineer in a subject you are clueless about (e.g. Haskell) and think about how annoying would it be for both of you to communicate out some advanced functionality program.

Analyzing, researching, learning and making decisions are a crucial part of doing work. LLM apps are useful at another approach for learning and researching, but if you solely rely on them their drawbacks are going to keep you behind.

I actually never heard about it but I guess we now live in the era of “gpt is your friend”. :)

Nice feature

I have a cheaper smartwatch and a dirty cheap robot cleaner.

Cheaper smartwatch has e-ink screen, notifications, payment, health monitors, etc. It doesn’t have all possible smart features, but in return I got 30d battery life.

Cheap robot vacuum cleaner is based on basic sensors, no lidar or recognition systems. It gets stuck in cables, it misses 10% of spots, but it captures 2 cup sized ball of dust every day.

I am happy with both. Especially because I researched and found what works for me. Maybe the ‘best’, ‘smartest’ and most expensive products in the market isn’t neccesaary what everybody needs?
