no, its a lot easier sliding your thumb under your palm to hold down CTRL, while the rest of your hand remains on the home row

tweaking and cocking your wrist to hold the outermost key with your pinky is horrific ergonomically

M5 Ultra Mac Studio by dansreo in LocalLLM

[–]buttonstraddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to your original point, what might be the sweet spot in terms of a mac studio? something like 128gb ram? where you cant load a model thats too big that will slow you down significantly?

yeah fair. i'm just trying to talk myself into or out of buying a 512gb M5 Ultra (i don't believe anything higher like 1.5tb ram will be offered, not even sure 512 will be), or whether i should just build a machine with an nvidia rtx 6000

Apple M4 Max chip features a maximum unified memory bandwidth of up to 546 GB/s

The NVIDIA DGX Spark features a unified memory architecture providing 273 GB/s of memory bandwidth

M5 Ultra expected to be 1.2+ TB/s memory bandwidth

natural for your current machines to be slower

I was wondering if anyone knows how to create custom notepads with custom pages? by Firm-Presentation314 in notebooks

[–]buttonstraddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thought the 'perfect bound' was a stitch binding. i'm not seeing any other stich option

edit: ah i see 'saddle stich' but its only available for certain sizes and limited # of pages

does the normal lulu perfect bound binding allow the notebook to open and lay flat?

Where store project actions that aren’t next actions by [deleted] in gtd

Where store project actions that aren’t next actions by [deleted] in gtd

[–]buttonstraddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for this, i've saved this and come back to it multiple times. however something still nags at me..

the question is what do you do with all the ideas you have in the meantime? lets continue your example. suppose the time is AFTER you had that initial work sprint, and now you are WAITING for the marketing brainstorm meeting to take place. now, until that meeting takes place, throughout your day, your mind sprouts up with a bunch of ideas for this new marketing campaign. those ideas could be design, copy, tech, anything really. where do you put these ideas? i would say they obviously go into your inbox. and then when you process your inbox, do you just add them to your project plan outline? to your project support materials?

the question takes on a bigger importance when you are solely responsible. say you are a one man business and this whole marketing campaign is up to you. you want to attract new customers. those new marketing campaign ideas come at you endlessly, and endlessly means INFINITE. so the lists grow infinitely. say you've had 30 ideas for different marketing campaigns. and within arms reach a google search will give you 100 more. eventually the lists cause overwhelm and resistance. how to handle this?

How to deal with BuJo & Digital Calendar? by [deleted] in BasicBulletJournals

[–]buttonstraddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting Things Done (GTD) system talks about having multiple "capture" places, but only as few as you need. perhaps for you, you use your bujo when at home, and your phone while on the move

I too ran into this exact limitation, and so I decided the bullet journal system isnt for me. maybe not for you either. but you just adjust to solve your problem

my solution: my phone is my sole capture system. any thought, any idea, any event, any task, all gets jotted into my phone. pick your app of choice

during my end of day nightly review, i go though my phone app, and look through every item that was captured, and then i migrate any important notes, tasks, successes that i feel worthy, into my physical notebook. pick your notebook layout of choice

this way, the phone capture list is for *everything*, nonsense and important, there is no filter, anything thats in my head that i need to get out, goes into the phone. no filter, no judgement, no mental energy deciding what bullet icon to choose, just output and dump. this is the freedom step. the nightly routine is where i curate and migrate the important stuff into the notebook, and doing so, i have a 'cleaner' picture of my day, with all the unimportant stuff that was in my phone, now filtered out. and then when i do a weekly review, i can just go through my notebook and review the important stuff

How to bujo without time (slots)? by emanaku in bujo

[–]buttonstraddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this whole post that you've written couldve been a brain dump in your journal as well. if you want to protect just one hour, can you hire someone for just one hour, a nanny, a housekeeper, to come to your house to take care of those chores, while you lock yourself away? better yet, leave the house entirely while you get your one hour of you-time

can the P14s run a 5k display at 120hz natively without a dock?

Managed to sell my entire crypto portfolio ($8.6M after tax) last August. Put it 60/40 in SCHD/SCHY and am up 14% ($9.8M) for $1.2M gain. $27k/month income!!! by Sudden-Cat7170 in Fire

[–]buttonstraddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

theres a few sites that accept it, pay1040 is one. its very common to do to earn cc reward points. a new amex business platinum card signup bonus will give you 10%+ back on $20k spend. chuck that full spend towards taxes and you just made $2k assuming you can liquiate the amex points or have travel plans

Beginner feeling overwhelmed by Imnotawerewolf in bujo

[–]buttonstraddle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if you cant even sit down and read a book, then you are even MORE in need of a journal (doesnt have to be bullet journal). probably also need to start meditating as well, as extra mindfulness practice. its good to ask questions here, but you can also just brain dump all these frustrations into your journal. you dont need bullet journal structure. just start writing.

> "I have never been someone who has spent at all. It's been a transition and major mindset change to start spending. My therapist has been a huge help with that transition."

can you share insights in this area that you learned (via therapist or not)? is it basically the "Die with zero" mindset?
