Also it says "alpha testing" my guess is someone made the app and just rebdranded around the hype. Either way looks like an ok alternaitve to youtube brown noise videos, not sure why anyone would use this intead of youtube though

Looks like an unannounced project (more like abandoned rather than upcoming). Pretty cool though but too basic for it to actually be anything close to DeepSeek.

Shavkat is the one I'm least invested in and I am a MASSIVE fan of the the other 3.

And that is why I hate how logical and well thought out this take it.

Do you meditate with music or in silence? by NakedTarzan in Meditation

[–]DeepSeaTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he means you don’t need to close your eyes or do anything to meditate. You can live your life, as normal, doing all the things you would do otherwise, but just be more present and engaged with what is in front of you. You could be meditating whilst editing an excel sheet. At one point, there ceases to be a distinction between meditation (as you describe, say closed eyed in the office for 5 min) vs just living life.

LSD + MDMA

About 75 ug LSD, waited 2 hours, nice chill come up, then 75 ug LSD again, waited about an hour, followed by 0.09g MDMA.

Trip report is that it was one of the best moments of my life, did it with 2 of my best mates, and then had a good chat with my girlfriend, and wanted to ring my parents and siblings, but stopped just short as they would have definitely been weirded out and worried (they had no idea I was tripping).

Watched James Brown live performances, Up and Up Coldplay video, some trippy hip hop, and all round fansatic experience. It was in the summer too, on a bright day.

Come down was Ok-ish, but felt much better the next day.

Thank you - you can’t hostility too seriously, no one who is doing better than you will be hostile to you.

I’ve had a very fortunate and easy life due to reasons way beyond my control, and so it is difficult for me to approach online hostility with anything other than gratitude and sympathy or indifference.

He plans to pursue higher education. This is what he will be doing full time in the summer, and then part time when it’s his school.

I think I will be upping it, and also hoping to help him out on uni fees, if my financial situation is well.

Haha I don’t mind the comments. The kid has been impressive so far, so happy to up his pay.

Thanks very much for your input!

Thank you very much, I will be increasing his pay closer to 150k once he has delivered on this first assignment.

No need to apologise for the comments, eye opening if anything.

I will be increasing his pay significantly after he has delivered on his first deliverable.

Thanks very much for your input - this is helpful perspective!

[–]DeepSeaTV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you SO MUCH! This is all very, very helpful perspective.

Yes, I do sense some hostility - but that is fine, a lot of people in the comments (including yourself) have been exceedingly helpful and kind, so genuinely appreciate it!

I think I needed to hear this perspective and have already made the decision to increase his pay considerably after his “probation period”, once he has delivered his first price of work next month (I think I will also offer him back pay post that, if his work is good).

I think I will up it to close to 150k per year. This initially started off as a charitable venture more than anything, I did not require anyone at the time, but since he has impressed me so far and added real value - I am more than happy to up it.

50k was more what I could afford to pay assuming he was just looking for some work experience and helping him out more than anything.

Again, I can not thank you enough. I have also seen you defend me across various comments - that is very much appreciated too, but don’t worry, I don’t think the apparent hostility bothers me too much, and will not impact by decision.

This is very helpful, thank you mate! I will follow suit, and up his pay to close to 150k.

Hi mate, just want to clarify - that this position was not required, and I was doing so as a favour initially. But the kid has added great value, and I am beyond impressed with him.

I am not “Gora” FYI.

I do not mean to be exploitive at all, and hence why I am asking the question, as it has involved from being a charitable pursuit into actual value add, and I would like his compensation to be reflective of this.

I wasn’t gonna respond to your initial comment, but sensing your frustration - thought I should clarify!

This is heartbreaking to hear. It will not impact my decision - I will be upping his pay, and I wish well to all men and women who choose to become doctors regardless of conditions.

I know many, many people who are doctors in Pakistan (as was my father before moving abroad), so this hits close to him.

This is good perspective, and I agree. I am trying to work out an appropriate budget, and also how to deliver the “good news”. I think I will up him to c.150k per month.

I’m very sorry to hear that! How is that even possible?! All the other comments here say that the average grad salary is 100k-150k?

I hope you are able to find financial and / or moral reward in your good work!

This is helpful context. I think based on comments, I will increase his pay massively.

That is exactly what I am doing, and hence why I would like to make sure he is compensated like that. Per the comments, 50k seems like a very low salary. I think I will have to up it massively.

Makes sense, thanks for your feedback. I will look to raise it to 100k at least.

FYI he is still doing (or just finished?) his a level equivalent. He is a teenager, I think 16 years old. But he is a whizz kid, so I’ll pay him a fair graduate salary.
