For real. Two philosophies that really helped me were:

1. be like water / judo it. If you’re hot and cold, either kind of manic or just want to sit around, then don’t try and fight that and be perfectly clean every day, just lean into your mania more and use that to not just clean / tidy, but to make some small improvement so that it’s easier to clean / tidy next time.

2. A place for everything, and everything in its place. Specifically tackling your point 5, but everything you own needs a dedicated place for it. The instant you buy anything, you should be thinking about where it’s going to be stored. Once everything has a clear and defined place to go back to it’s much easier to clean.

Just start with something small and it will snowball II.

Also, getting a good sleep leads to better decision making in all aspects of life and makes you more likely to tackle the stuff you’ve been putting off.

It’s amazing how much money you can save by being well rested.

Don’t just leave money in your chequing / savings account.

If inflation / COL is increasing by 3% year over year, and your savings account is giving you 2.5% interest, you are losing money every minute it sits in there.

Any substantial amount of money should be moved to an investment account of some kind. You want to keep an emergency fund relatively liquid and easy to access, but that can still be an investment account earning more interest on average.

In Canada for instance, there are 3 main government programs for savings:

• TFSA (Tax Free Savings Account) - Can be spent on anything, you put post-tax money in, but any money you make from the account is not taxed. This is the easiest and most flexible, and you can usually withdraw TFSA money in a day or two.
• RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Program) - You put pre tax money into, and you don’t get taxed on what it earns. More lucrative than a TFSA because you can effectively reduce the amount of income tax you pay by instead putting money into and RRSP, but you can basically only spend it on retirement or to help with buying your own home.
• FHSA (First Home Savings Account) - Like an RRSP (pre-tax money goes in, and profits aren’t taxed), but can only be spent on your first home.

Any substantial amount of money you have should basically always be in one of these 3 vehicles if you’re in Canada (or an education fund if you have kids).

No, OpenAI heard about a pair of researchers who were getting close to solving the problem and spent $22M on compute power to scoop them.

Even more concerningly, the researchers had been using OpenAI’s codex model in their earlier work, meaning that OpenAI’s model may have literally directly trained from and ripped off their work.

This is him narrating the Devil in the white city right?

The best time may have been yesterday, but the second best time is today.

Yeah, people don’t seem to realize that their technical solutions don’t matter.

Tracking and privacy is a problem that can only be solved through legislation and legal means. Big companies have more resources and can work around any technical hurdle you throw up.

Like they don’t even have to work around them technically… Oh you like the encrypted messenger? It would be a shame if they were able to make it useless by convincing everyone to just use their DM system leaving no one on your encrypted messaging network to talk to, wouldn’t it?

Or you know, the government could just match Chinese industry subsidies so they’re competing on level playing fields.

China’s government is using government power to invest in critical and necessary industries that benefits everyone, like renewables and EVs, driving down their costs.

The US instead spends it’s money investing in fossil fuel companies, and letting billionaires hoard it, and then complains when Chinese EVs are cheaper. You’re the richest fucking country in the world. Stop fucking whining and start using your wealth to produce competitive EVs. It’s not that fucking complicated.

Lmfao, bruh, name a way in which it’s better than the Windows dock or shut up. Jesus fucking Christ, not everything is subjective, and owning a Mac doesn’t mean you need to run out and defend every single fucking decision they’ve ever made.

When one thing does everything the other thing does, plus can do more, it might be objectively better.

Because again, you make Linux behave exactly the same as MavOS, so your claim that you think the MacOS dock is better than linuxes already shows that you’re not arguing from a logical place, just blindly defending tim apple.

I listed objective UX shortcomings with it.

I’m open to being convinced that you honestly think it’s better than the Windows one, if you can explain why.

Otherwise this sounds like reflexive defensiveness.

On Linux especially you can customize a dock to behave literally exactly the same way as Mac, so it’s honestly kind of nonsense to say that you prefer Mac’s way.

It takes up as much screen space as the Windows taskbar while doing a fraction as much.

In windows that same screen spaces acts an application launcher / switcher, but also an individual window launcher / switcher, and a clock, utility, and notification space.

Mac smears half of those into a fully separate system bar that takes up even more space.

It’s not a mac vs anyone thing, it’s not a mac way of doing things, it’s not like if they had a better dock the whole OS would have to change or fall apart, it’s simply just a badly designed dock / taskbar.

Nope, they have not. It’s honestly a terrible OS.

The problem is that it specifies both a purpose

• To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts

and a mechanism by which to do so

• by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

The purpose is great, the mechanism is dogshit in the 21st century, as it just lazily crams information into capitalism rather than adapting capitalism to the realities of information.

The problem is that capitalism is a system entirely based around things that are scarce, and it only functions in that context. Air for instance is completely free and valueless, even though it’s wildly critical, just because it is abundant. In capitalism things don’t have value when they are useful or needed, just when they are scarce.

That works fine-ish when you mostly deal in physical goods, because the way that energy and mass scale means that they are somewhat inherently scarce, it takes just as much mass/energy to make a second copy as the first. Information blows this apart though, starting with the written word, escalating with the printing press, and being oblitered in the digital connected age, as information does not scale like energy / mass and as a result it has become trivial to infinitely copy and distribute information, making it abundant the moment it’s digitized.

So now you have the Constitution enshrining mechanisms that enforce scarcity where there is absolutely no need for scarcity.

I have to use Mac’s for work now and I will never understand how in 2026, they still insist on having both a dock and a system menu bar.

Like guys, it’s 2026, you can do all the OS stuff in one space, and leave the rest of the screen open for application stuff.

They are literal bodybuilders and that is obvious to everyone who looks at them.

What the fuck kind of proof are you expecting? A a video diary of every meal ever consumed?

Exercising is the easy part of body building. Eating and sleeping well enough is the hard part.

Lmfao, no they didn’t, you misunderstood the difference in recommended intakes for maintenance (/kg) vs gaining muscle / slowing it’s atrophy in old age (/lb).

1lb of LEAN body mass is still a shit ton of protein to have to try and squeeze in. For your average adult man that’s the equivalent of 5-7 scoops of protein powder, or like ~1.5lb of chicken breast, every single day.

You’re not getting that unless you’re going out of your way to.
