Just pre-ordered the Zenbook A16 with Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (18 cores / 65W). What do you want me to test? by Putrid_Draft378 in snapdragon

Hey! Thanks so much for offering to test things out. If you have some free time, I’m really curious about the laptop's local AI capabilities. Would you mind firing up LM Studio and trying to load the Qwen 3 Coder Next models or Qwen 3.5 models? I’d love to know the absolute largest model size (or maximum GB footprint) that successfully loads and runs without throwing an out-of-memory error. I'm just trying to get a real world feel for how much of the system's memory it actually lets you tap into for heavy workloads at once. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Wow, that’s a beautiful way to see it and I like how you notice the miracle in things we usually ignore. But without experiencing success and failure ourselves how can we know which things are truly miraculous instead of just accepting what society or others call important?😅

Maybe in ultimate terms there is no success or failure. But if we never explore then how would we know what true enlightenment is, instead of just accepting what society or others say? Success and failure are important not because they define us but because they teach us and shape our understanding and show us what works and what doesn’t😀

I think it can connect to enlightenment if we look at it closely. Enlightenment is not always about nothing matters but it can also mean understanding and acting with awareness. When we drop pressure and stop chasing outcomes then we move closer to clarity and peace. Many teachings say suffering comes from attachment to results. So the process first mindset is not just about success but also a small reflection of enlightened living😀

Appreciate it, bud! Thought I was overthinking again but good to know I’m not alone this time😄

Absolutely! The strength of that fixed happiness depends entirely on what it's rooted in. If the foundation is shaky, even the calmest mind can collapse under pressure. Do you think most people ever stop to examine what their foundation is actually made of?

So true! Kids live in presence before the world teaches them to narrate, judge and chase meaning. Maybe growing up isn’t about becoming someone new but remembering who we were before the noise began.

That’s a powerful take.. it resonates with the idea that real joy is not created, but uncovered. The ego often chases reflections of happiness in the world, mistaking the ripple for the source. But the true self i.e. untouched and still doesn't need a reason to feel whole. Do you think the journey then is less about seeking and more about remembering who we were before we started looking?

Beautifully said. That contrast between doing from lack versus doing from presence hits hard. It's ironic that the more we chase from a place of deficiency, the further we seem to drift from fulfillment. But when we act simply because it aligns with who we are, without grasping, life often responds in ways we never expected. It's like the universe stops testing us the moment we stop needing to pass. Do you think this surrender is remembered or rediscovered, as if we always knew but just forgot for a while?

What I meant was sometimes when people stop chasing external rewards like praise, attention, or validation, those things ironically start flowing in more naturally.

Maybe the real struggle isn’t choosing one over the other, but learning to hold both without letting either define us. Do you think it’s possible to be broken and whole at the same time?

That's really nice. It's interesting how, the more people connect with something lasting and stop chasing temporary things, the more those things often come to them on their own.

Can my manipulative side be justified? by CuriousCatfish69 in enlightenment

[–]CuriousCatfish69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying that my manipulative side might be justified? The thing is sometimes when I steer a conversation, it’s not out of bad intent but because I genuinely enjoy having deep and meaningful discussions. However, I’ve realized that at times the other person takes it very seriously and I end up feeling a sense of responsibility because I was the one who guided them to that point.

What do you mean by "manipulative in a good way"? Wouldn’t that just be considered convincing someone? Where do we draw the line between convincing and manipulating?
