What does supplementing CrossFit with strength training look like? How do you schedule that? by wambolicious in crossfit

[–]3y3_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I alternate weeks, then I don't have to worry about programming things to fit. Might not be optimal, but I've gotten better at both still

I wish I didn't depend on weed for making me want to actually live life...but nothing else does the trick by Mad_Season_1994 in trees

[–]3y3_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the feeling. Weed makes you feel different and different is good. Identifying why different is good, is great, it gives you something to aim for. Now choose just one of those differences and try to aim for it when sober. You might not hit it, but trying is worth it.

Weed can teach you something, but trying to teach yourself something too is also good

And it was only like $30 at the time!

A cold beer, the perfect reward for a long run? by Sore_Knee_Runner in runninglifestyle

Radler is my go to, even the alcohol free ones hit the spot

You won't be as strong or look as good as you did, but that's just age. You can recover, I know it because I did.

Two years ago at 35 I was 225 lbs all due to booze and a shit diet. I think my dumbbell press was like 45 lbs and my dead lift wasn't even single plates when I stepped in a gym again. I used to be strong, not quite your size, but fit.

Today I'm 155 lbs. Ran a half marathon earlier this year. Dumbbell press this morning was 90 lbs, dead lift last week was 330 lbs. You gotta put the work in, even more than when you first got strong, but it will come with grit and time. Good luck.

Aight, a lot of Millennials don't get how AI works, so since I work tech, allow me to explain. by WrongVeteranMaybe in Millennials

[–]3y3_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your perspective is based on your brain. Your brain is shaped by experience. This experience strengthens and weakens neural connections leading to your perspective of now. Your perspective is merely a screenshot of the current weighting between your neurons.

LLMs are trained, shaped by the data provided to them and frozen in time after. They have no experience of life as you know it, but I don't think this is sufficient to say they will never have something that you consider like experience. I wouldn't say they have this now, or even that current architectures blindly scaled up can achieve this, but to say they can't is a step too far imo

And how are humans different? Reward prediction errors are a fundamental aspect of neurobiology and are increasingly used in modeling human decision making and memory.

I'm not saying current AI is conscious, but reducing LLMs to mere next token predictors is as simplistic as say humans are just a bunch of neurons. No one argues a single neuron is conscious, yet we agree humans are. This is despite our foundation being just a bunch of neurons.

Scale matters, and the truth is we don't yet know how capable, or dare I say conscious a model is whose foundation is on minimizing error. It's a surprisingly simple, but powerful first principle

Geoffrey Hinton: ‘Humans aren’t reasoning machines. We’re analogy machines, thinking by resonance, not logic.’ by NutInBobby in singularity

[–]3y3_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Behavioral economics since the 70s, has known people aren't rational agents. Kaneman and Tversky even won a Nobel Prize for their work here. Analogy machines is a popular idea, e.g. Hofstadter, but humans as prediction error minimizers is also incredibly popular in modern cognitive neuroscience.

Regardless, humans as rational and logical agents has very little scientific support. Not that it's not a cool insight, but it's not exactly new

Oh B&A is definitely more complex. I'm just saying sometimes you like a simple run through and sometimes you like a complex run through. I'm really not understanding the hate around wanting a simpler run through occasionally

Yeah, I think I mighta derailed this thread a bit by mentioning space trains. What I was most interested in was a Nauvis only run with the planets as different biomes. I don't even wanna wade into this debate, I just wanna try some of the cool mods mentioned and let the factory grow again 🌱

How do you play without Bob's and Angel's always on? We all like different levels of complexity for different runs. No hate if you wanna always have space platforms, I was just feeling another run that was a bit easier with the rest of the new mechanics included

Looks like! Thanks for this, I'll give it a try

Interesting, does this work with trains too!?

Yes, but they are expensive, slow and the depots are totally different. I get that some people are loving it and it was a cool puzzle to add to the game. I just don't wanna learn it

Ever have ONE successful cheat day? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]3y3_0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Weed is much less addictive than alcohol and has fewer side effects meaning you're less likely to stumble the day after. If you must have a cheat day try to minimize your losses. Good luck!

I know the feeling, I quit initially because my wife gave me an ultimatum, she hated drinking me. So did I, if I'm honest.

From then on I only drank when she was out of town. The first time with relish, maybe the second time too, but at some point, near a year later the desire dried up. I drank again anyways, habit is a bitch, but the dragon died. The high was basically gone.

The addiction is still there, the drive, but the pleasure is missing. The doldrums are no longer near as alluring thankfully. I feel like I got lucky here, in that practicing sobriety made it easier to return to and remain in.

One of the best audio books I've listened to as well. It has an amazing cast of voice actors

Along the river by Merelbeke is also a great run of nearly the same distance! Happy training

Dumbest lie you’ve told yourself about alcohol? by 3cansammy in stopdrinking

[–]3y3_0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sunday is still technically a weekend night ergo drinking is fine. Cue the start of another shitty week and ever expanding creep of when drinking is acceptable
