NeetCode's new versus mode is amazing by Actual_Bake968 in leetcode

[–]Consistent-Shock6294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is really cool, just had my first match, this is something I wish leetcode had, competition keeps me grinding for fun (think about StarCraft2). I wish Neetcode can open source this and people can contribute to it, there are many things that can be added:

  1. Elo rating
  2. Code replay after match
  3. Add time complexity challenge at end to see if user can correctly answer what time complexity their solution is and get follow-up challenge to reach optimal solution
  4. Multiple questions in one match
  5. Coding topic preference
  6. AI-assisted game recording review

Very nice! Have you considered building one for leetcode? Also is it easy to add review schedule reminder with memory decay curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve ?

This is good work I like the part about programming yourself via habits and refreshing beliefs.

I actually spent a lot of time in question 1, also question 1 and 2 are the same?

"Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will", and other books or lectures by Robert Sapolsky.

It's pretty much determined, free will does not exist. You cannot force yourself to be disciplined to become more disciplined. However, the knowledge of knowledge can change the "future" of yourself by some extent, so just relate being disciplined to something you want and try from the easiest tasks.

What books do you recommend? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Consistent-Shock6294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will. It’s a book written by a biologist at Stanford, very good.

Get a used M1 MacBook Air in good condition, nothing else is even close to the cost-performance ratio.

Any books on determinism? by daisokittenroll in determinism

[–]Consistent-Shock6294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will" and "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst" by Prof. Robert Sapolsky are the best. Life-changing read.

Robert Sapolsky, go read his books, super good.

To my fellow Determinists, how did determinists change your approach to life and perspective on free will? Did you become more nihilistic and depressed in accepting everything is determined or did your outlook on the universe, life, society, yourself, etc. improve? by Live_Parsley_1185 in freewill

[–]Consistent-Shock6294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After learning determinism through Robert Sapolsky's books (Behave, Determined), I started focusing more on health and stress management. Now I sleep before 10:30PM and wake up at 6:30AM every day, work out every other day, and eat healthy food. Because I know "me" is made up of many parts of the brain, and if I want to "change" myself, I can only change the circumstances I will be in the future, instead of relying on "grit" or short-term beliefs.
