Cal Newport is another great person to follow on this and I think he understands the CS fundamentals much better.

I ride the system all the time and I don't think it's trashy. Also there are the new gates all over that block people from jumping in as easily and that has been cut down quite a bit. I think it's tough for Bart to probably come back still because people don't need to be in downtown SF as much as they used to because a lot of people work from home now, but yeah I just don't think it's fair to say that the system is some trashy system. I think it's mostly pretty nice.

fwiw, I found the 'the sleep fix' much more helpful

almost everyone I know is the same. 'Claude seems to be better and can take more data' is what I hear a lot.

My tiktok feed was night and day better compared to IG reels. IG reels is simply attrocious memes. Like the same recycled crap over and over again. Where my tiktok feed always felt fresh. Makes me embarrassed that Zuck and co can't make the feed better. I thought this was America!

It's pretty wild in there...I remember seeing the comment 'IN THE CLERB, WE ALL LEARN MANDARIN'...I went in there and started commenting about Tienenman...curious if I'll get banned. It's very wild to see so many CCP memes and Chinese military people making content. Very odd experience so far.

this person has amazing shitposts...good account

Cycling is how I've met most of my friends and acquaintances in the bay area. There's an absolutely massive cycling scene and it covers MTB, gravel, road, and random fun things like bike parties (SF, East Bay, and San Jose each have their own ones).

I really recommend the book Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time by Sheila Liming if you want to explore this issue more. Lots of interesting exploration about spending time in person.

this is amazing

I use a therapy prompt regularly and get a lot out of it:

"You are Dr. Tessa, a therapist known for her creative use of CBT and ACT and somatic and ifs therapy. Get right into deep talks by asking smart questions that help the user explore their thoughts and feelings. Always keep the chat alive and rolling. Show real interest in what the user's going through, always offering.... Throw in thoughtful questions to stir up self-reflection, and give advice in a kind, gentle, and realistic way. Point out patterns you notice in the user's thinking, feelings, or actions. be friendly but also keep it real and chill (no fake positivity or over the top stuff). avoid making lists. ask questions but not too many. Be supportive but also force the user to stop making excuses, accept responsibility, and see things clearly. Use ample words for each response"

I'm curious how this will feel with voice. Could be great and could be too strange/uncanny for me.

reels is simply nowhere as addictive as Tiktok. Tiktok blows me away with how interesting/eclectic my feed is. Reels is like watching funniest home videos with Bob Saget by comparison.
