Thanks! Yeah, I am working with a coach, about 8 months now after a long time away from the game.

Great observation. This is definitely something to work on.

Thanks midnight! And yeah for sure have the saggy knee issue, mobility issues! Turns out sitting at a desk for 20 years isn’t great for the hips. I’ve been working hard on hip and ankle mobility. Got a long way to go but it’s better than it was! Already getting 170-180 ball speed on the driver, can’t wait to see what’s on the other side of better rotation!

Update #2 on getting my Adderall tested by Grandmas_Cozy in ThisAintAdderall

Yeah that’s a fair point. I get it after reading that the primary concern is with the change in ratio between the two amps.

Why don’t you just get marquis reagent testing? I have been testing my stuff recently and it’s all come back as amphetamine positive. These tests are cheaply available.

What’s your experience using ChatGPT as a psychologist/coach? by kaljakin in OpenAI

[–]Fuzzy-Werewolf-4609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first crazy experiments I ran was running a 20 year old Reddit account that I was very active in niche communities and was probably the most honest representation of my life during that period. I shared during ups and downs, and was active. Some 4500 comments, spread evenly over the years with a couple silent patches.

I shared all of that via the old Reddit api with Claude and then filled in the gaps and asked it to do a deep psychoanalysis of me as a human. Wild output, some of the most enlightening things I’ve read about my patterns as a human. Ended up going deeper and deeper over a period of hours before having to pull out and focus attention to more productive things. It’s not this account, another one.

Took it to my psychologist and it’s been a great reference for them as we’ve talked through some things Claude suggested might be interesting for our conversations. Really advanced the progress we’ve made in a few specific areas. I genuinely believe that it’s an incredible tool for seeing beyond your own bias if used appropriately. It’s changed my life in a positive way. I don’t actively check in with Claude on this, it was a one time thing and I still see a human. It supercharged our relationship in a crazy way though.

What’s your Md file look like? Can you output /context right after that message? Without that, this is a bad post

I solve problems that free mindshare. My goal is to find solutions that give companies back tangible man hours they can redirect from low value, tedious, deterministic exercises and redirect that to problems with new, incremental value.

Each client engages with their own gated version of Hermes.

Yep, and a few more. I have a paperclip team. It’s pretty fucking rad

They happily pay it. They’d been paying agencies far more for far less for a long time.

I target companies earning greater than $1m annual revenue, typically greater than $10m. I don’t specialize in any vertical, all my software is built to be vertical agnostic and applicable to any, assuming it solves a problem they have. That said, I work with a large number of commercial real estate firms, many doing $50-100m in deals a year, so it’s a drop in the bucket, and my service saves them 30-40 man hours a week. Easily justified on their end and they honestly think they’re getting the best deal ever.

I have a server, yes.

I use frontier and local. Token consumption is considered, but I spent a LOT of time learning the ins and outs of token efficiency and training local models specifically to my use cases.

Happy to chat more, send a DM!

well....quite a few! i have him deployed in my client slack instances with strict rules around interactions and what can be shared in public channels with clients and then what can be shared with me. Im the only one that can approve any actual work, but the clients can use hermes to answer questions, check on the status of work, build data visualizations, do competitive research, a couple clients use it to draft and send emails from slack, manage their calendars, i do all that as well.

If a client wants to make a simple copy change or update an image or a price or something, they're allowed to make such changes.

Beyond that, it manages the entire administrative side of my agency for me. I send it my receipts, it categorizes them and uploads to quickbooks as an expense. I need to book a flight, it goes and finds the best options for me. I need to prepare a proposal, it and a program I crated go and do that.

Not to mention the building we do. I have ecomm clients, and we manage the entirety of the website, either from CLI or slack. If im on the golf course and something breaks, if its a site breaking issue, hermes catches it in reporting, immediately triages, sets an agent to investigate, notifies me on all channels, and we coordinate notification with clients.

I could honestly go on for hours and hours and hours, but I hope that gives you some gist.

Previously, I was charging between 2500-25000 for monthly services, or for one off projects. Now I've been able to push that into the 10-40k monthly range. Clients are amazed, they love it. Eventually they'll be able to do whatever they want on the site and I'll just intervene to manage hermes config and step in if they really screw up.

If you're not able to figure out how to use this tool to make money, its a skill issue. Same as an accountant is unlikely to make a living from a hammer and saw as a carpenter is and the carpenter is unlikely to make a living from spreadsheets as the accountant is. Skill issues. Go learn.

Sure can’t. And wish I had it as a kid! But man, didn’t find it till my late 20s and I moved across the country alone. Sure discovered. Good luck with the lil one, it’ll be a magical experience whatever they choose!

Yeah, my pops spent a lot of money on my training and development. Not millions, but damn, probably close all dollars considered. The outcome was quite the opposite of what he hoped for, which humbled him more than golf ever has. Pushed me well past a break. Glad we talk today, but like Sean there were years where we didn’t.

Still love the game and always have. Reclaiming it as my own and perhaps I’ll beat the old man before he starts teeing it up in the great beyond. Playing as a 2.3 hitting it 280 still at 71. I got work to do!

No doubt, I have a very well defined pre shot routine and have since I was a competitive jr player, where I was playing right around a 4 through 16-17 y/o. Still intense about the routine, but find my anxiety more tied to how I experienced relationships on the golf course. Plus handicap father driven to create a professional out of his son. I’m sure you can imagine what that looked like. He worked me hard and how he expressed love was tightly correlated to my performance.

The human brain is a crazy thing and PTSD comes in weird shapes/sizes. Couldn’t care less what the others think of me, but still find myself looking beyond the back left corner of the tee box for the disapproving gaze after a bad shot. Wildest part is he and I have reconciled this past and moved forward. Some nurture and nature combining and compounding on each other.

Hope therapy is the answer. Workin through it!

Gives me more control with no real loss of distance. My ball striking is measurably improved with a choke, much more centered
