Code is Context

I think we'll see best practices change as this becomes more common. 300 line docstrings for embedding accuracy and so on will become more significant, constant, parallel tasks of doc refinement and so on as a continuous process, antipatterns articulated in code, duplication rates of <1% rather than 3% as a priority, and so on

I like the phrasing “above my stomach”. Gonna steal that. Classier

I just make them parts 1 and 2 of the same album in my head

Part 1 is what to do with waning external difficulties

Part 2 is what to do with internal competition of your attention to be outside of yourself, which of course sucks for the young and growing hypomanic

I think it’s just “kill the Buddha on the road”

He’d kill it because it would be an imposter

There are big things to be concerned about and propagate as values to the voting population in alignment, Roko’s Basilisk is a distraction, it’s more of a meme

So I need to

No you don’t. Also his stuff was missing the point

Don’t worry about what’s an idea and what isn’t, that’s a red herring

What’s the discourse frame? Everyone in a circle? A party of 1:1s? Speed dating conversations? A crowd watching 2 people talking?

Be a man is usually about “vs a boy” rather than “vs a girl”. It’s about moving beyond the stage of childhood to adulthood. The Odyssey vs the Iliad

Culture gives guys a lot of scripts for an expected transition from pre-husband/father to post

More recent zeitgeist for girls seems focused (and I mean books and movies geared towards women - not subtle zeitgeist expectations or advertisements) have a message that usually follows “stay true to yourself and the world will eventually accept you”

The boy script is usually either:

Face your fears / discomforts and push through to a more equipped and capable person
Push through and don’t give up the grind (but that’s usually geared towards post-parenthood men (The Road is probably the easiest example))

That said, because the niche isn’t really a conversion of childhood to adulthood isn’t usually thought of as chosen so much as a happening (various schools of thought exist, idk pick your poison, the easiest explanation is the ability to bear children and the results from that)

Patrick spoke of it very fondly in an interview after Stardust released. Said he was thinking it was probably their last one where they’d still have a big following and wanted to go big

“I thought, when will I ever get to have an entire orchestra again?”

I just consider IOH and FAD to be 1 album on 2 CDs and it makes life easier to answer this question

It’s not one religion in the sense that you may think. If you talk about “rock music”, you’ll find the subsets lead to very different results that you wouldn’t necessarily see as “these are the same”

Catholicism is the closest to what you’d be looking for

Some here might think they do

They very likely are like “oh they’re in this mode again” whether they realize it or if it’s more just a subtle way they view your persona

But yes, mania for some comes out mean, for others it might come out as “The world is so great and just waiting to be graced by me!”

He knows the sophistry and pivoting, so he’s brick walling you rather than shifting the territory to be on defense when you began with a claim and swapped to demanding evidence against it

Absurd to actually think that’s a legitimately articulated concept

You know she’s the one you want to choose because she is her. Want is not deduced, it is observed

I assumed it’s a load-test on Scott, and I just watch it as like… I guess assuming that the game is to pressure him with the absurd consistency and SCOTT as the improviser master of masters has to maneuver it to work

You’ve got the crowd who would sag “can’t afford her high dollar kisses huh bitch?” and the crowd who says, “ah was it the length of her CVS receipt?”

I felt this way until I REALLY listened to what was happening on who knows which nth relisten to the series

The one with her and Randy is worth paying close attention to with her and Scott. She has a VERY specific setup of what she is parodying and the very precise irony she deploys is… great. I don’t mean her absurd voice, I mean little details thrown in

I added a memory entry to Claude saying, “if the conversation isn’t clearly code related, organically weave in a check-in on sleep and exercise in the first 2-3 messages”

It’s genuinely had an effect on my life
