I feel stuck now.
I thought if I got in an abundance mindset I'd attract others with the same mindset.
- Taking care of my body with a daily workout
- Dreaming big, and doing big.
- Seeking the welfare of others.
- Seeing 💰 as a resource, not as an end goal.
Yet I'm surrounded by people who are afraid to dream. Who just see present circumstances. Conversations are about what is, not what's possible.
Where my awesome people at?
@dvshkn Definitely. I see a lot of clickbait posts on social media of stuff like, "I asked ChatGPT if it would become sentient in 30 years and it outlined its plan for world domination!"
No, you input a question into an LLM trained on trillions of data points (some of which includes AI fearmongering), and the next logical token was from a Terminator fanfic reddit post.
Going through Leviticus now in my #Bible reading, but I've noticed something interesting.
Leviticus gets an (understandable) bad rap for being restrictive and legalistic...sometimes downright weird, like sowing 2 types of seed or using 2 types of garments.
But overall the laws have a tone of surprising mercy, asking people to reign in their desire for vengeance and break down walls of distrust of foreigners.
The laws seem freakishly merciful...not just for Israel, but for the #US.
Is there something I'm missing with llama being the GOAT coding assistant? For me it consistently performs terribly.
Me: Hey, Llama, just add a register button underneath the login.
Llama: I will ignore that request and instead turn this page into a yaml/json mismash-formatted pinball game. Done! Just like a pro! Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Looking for a lit agent is weird. Manuscript wish lists vary wildly:
"yeah, just send whatever man. as long as you put words on the page ill get around to reading it."
"I'm seeking a novel that includes gay male protagonist who owns 5 cats, who's out for revenge against a masked bandit; set in a 1920's wild-west style Saudi Arabia. Must include at least 1 kissing scene (preferably not with the cats). And, please, for the love of God, don't include any mention of longboats."
@calmeilles Yeah, usually with me that happens if there's a package conflict resulting in a broken dependency chain.
If I do `apt --fix-broken install` that sometimes clears it up.
Worst case you'll just need to do a hard system refresh and spend an afternoon reinstalling all the 3rd party packages you had.
As a tech person who's been working on a novel I've tried to find all sorts of cool open source tools to aide in writing chapters. Eventually I did a Joplin notebook with one chapter per notebook.
But then, after enough revisions I came to the conclusion that the best way of organizing a novel is how non-tech people do it: a simple Word (or in my case LibreOffice) document.
