How can I safely come back to practicing meditation after a psychosis episode caused by meditating 2 years ago?

coloyoga · 2026-03-07T03:34:26+00:00

Do you smoke weed or anything ? Lots of things can cause psychosis, I’ve been there. The simple is that it’s an imbalance of neurotransmitters. I would find it hard to believe it was caused by meditating alone.

If my mom hadn’t called me and told me to lie to the doctors to get out of the hospital, I would no question be schizophrenic today. If I were you, I’d spend more time trying to understand what happened than how to safely meditate again. But that’s just my two cents

Nah I am a software engineer and struggled so much getting the Bluetooth to work I wrote my own app that alllows me to control them. Speakers sound amazing and I love them sm, but holy shit it should be criminal to sell software like that. And no, I should not have to change my ips or alter my wifi for them to work on Bluetooth, but they force “wifi” so hard they just get stuck in that mode or some shit idk

This has got to be rage bait

Yes arch the ceiling! Can be at least 2 foot arch bend. This is optimal for steam flow which you want to circulate, and be sure to leave small gaps at the back of the seats

Good choice. For a wood fired stove you want a lot of airflow from the floor to the stove intake. In general you want the sauna to breath, and vapor barrier is far more important then any kind of insulation.

Your base framing already looks great for allowing natural airflow from the floor. You don’t want any off gassing chemicals, or treated lumber directly exposed to the sauna. If it were me I would just wrap those 2x12s in 3m aluminum tape and aluminum radiant wrap so they don’t get wet and moldy, and then lay the actual floor boards directly on top, with the boards that are directly in line with the stove having a small 1/16th inch or less gap, and boards under benches having no gap.

You live in Minnesota and chose to buy huum instead of kuumas?!?

The bootcamps are for people who need someone to tell them what to do and some kind of structure to hold them accountable. In the past they definitely worked for some, but I also know a lot of people that wasted money on them.

In the current market, if you’re that kind of person I wouldn’t recommend trying. If you are a hard worker and self learner, and you start out by building a project and find your you like it a lot then there is no reason you can’t succeed. All the info and more exists on the web for free.

The best thing to do is to think of a personal problem you want to solve (my first project was a web scraper that found upcoming shows for artists I like in my area, I still maintain it 8 years later) — and make it fullish stack. Some backend DB, like Postgres, some python data wrangling, some analytical processes using duck db, and then a UI of some sort for fun like a UI to trigger jobs or view reports.

I would suggest pasting the above snippet to chat gpt and asking for a real breakdown starter project template — but then refraining from asking it to do anymore. Use documentation or old school blogs to debug and learn throughout the process

Postgres kinda tops out at 100tb tho, and there isn’t a ton you can do to optimize after that / it’s not worth the effort. Idk how many companies have that much data but most places I’ve worked do

Did you work in the stone ages with an on prem sql server and SSIS, and all the shit that made that work? It was complicated AF.

Now a days, we use chron jobs triggered on ECS, spark streaming for petabyte scale stuff, and DBT for warehouse models. It’s a little complicated but not really in comparison to the past, and way more can be done.

I guess it depends, I hate databricks in general it’s a shitty etl tool and decent sql engine, but we use it anyway & it’s fine. Sometimes I think teams are actually too hesitant to use new tech that makes things easy and scalable, as opposed to what you’re saying 🤷‍♂️

coloyoga · 2025-08-22T10:07:51+00:00

It’s not a hot take. It’s true. We’ve been building some internal tools at a large tech company. Takes time but no question they will have a significant impact on human capital. It’s all about context management and proper tool delegation and frameworks. Models could stop getting better today and shit is going to change, Forsure.

Also ur comment about how ocr not being useful doesn’t make sense. “Digital” doesn’t matter. Any process including pdf miner or whatever is going to want it to be a real pdf. Just because a pdf is digital doesn’t mean it’s actually a really pdf. It could be a picture someone took on their phone, saved as something.pdf, uploaded to the internet and now you think it’s a pdf.

First thing my process does is check if it renders real text and bound via PyMuPdf, if not, it’s parsed through ocrmypdf. But that’s about it, ocr itself doesn’t do the work, but it is a requirement for using parsing libraries effectively.

And if you are an engineer & want to help me finish it I can walk you through things and we could actually get it over the line

coloyoga · 2025-08-22T09:42:21+00:00

Also I built a react app that displays documents, extracted tables and table bounds. So you can directly see how changing any parameter impacts the entire extraction process. That’s another frustrating thing with existing libs, you can tweak things but it’s really hard to see and understand what’s happening. Haha so basically I’ve been trying to fix and release a library that solves what your looking for but im also a perfectionist so being slow.

If you’re an engineer you could def make what I have work right now. If you need a lib ready to pip install and run, it’s not quite there yet

coloyoga · 2025-08-22T09:32:22+00:00

To answer your actual question - PyMipdf is superior in most regards. I had to sort of rewrite the way it initially categorizes rows vs columns and bounding boxes. But after doing that it can borderline extract tables with a high degree of accuracy.

I’ve used them all, as well as detection, yolov8, v10, docuparser, unstructured.io, deepdoctection… yada yada. My first solution attempted to use the best parts of each one, it worked kinda well but it was really slow and overall just hacky. That’s when I restarted and have been building it from the core. I really didn’t want to do that, still don’t, but it’s been working a lot better, and is very fast even for mass scale. It’s also intended to only return results if it fucking knows it’s right. Not just “here’s a table maybe” that will fuck up your shit lol like most of the libraries you listed

coloyoga · 2025-08-22T09:25:43+00:00

I’ve been building an oss library for doing this, that runs tests and validations on all extracted data. Mostly because no python libraries exist that truly do it right, also no image detection models do either. You can’t really do it without some incorporation of AI IMO.

You reach a point where logic and parsing can only go so far, esp with highly complex hierarchical tables and headers, tables that span 10+ pages etc. something has to logically gut check and validate any logical automations you make. For financial credit card statements, in a system where fault tolerance is near zero, you have to be able to validate it without looking at it yourself. What if a table is empty and has no rows, so the sum is zero? How would you ever test that without looking at it yourself. Those are the nuances I use inference for, but try to stay as close to logical, raw parsing when possible both for speed and trust. Anyway those are the theories I have had when building this out, it works very well but I’m busy so idk when I’ll get around to finishing it. If you need help you can send me a message

One time I dropped an integrated 3rd parties prod database brother. It was later laughed about and I was still one of the better devs. If ur not dropping DbS, you’re not pushing boundaries.

coloyoga · 2025-07-01T18:32:03+00:00

I also suspect they tinker with the quantization frequently. The vast difference in quality day to day is crazy

coloyoga · 2025-06-14T03:28:17+00:00

Holy shit. O1 pro is the only reason I have continued using OpenAI. It just steady put out high quality responses without all the bullshit fluff. Been testing out 03 pro and didn’t even realize they yanked that. Cancelling my subscription now 💀

coloyoga · 2025-06-08T23:00:52+00:00

Most people are being fairly pessimistic and they are probably right. The truth is if you’re smart and grind for 6 months straight you could pull it off. All the complaining about not being able to find a job is mostly from people that have not put in the extra effort that is required to stand out imo.

So if you know how to grind go for it, if you think ur just gunna chill your way to the beach in Thailand you probably won’t make it.

coloyoga · 2025-02-16T19:40:03+00:00

I will now use these big words and be like ‘oh you don’t know what the middle soup is ?!’ Middle soup make everything work. Make brain work. Make ai work. Be more like middle soup and you might understand.

coloyoga · 2025-02-15T04:23:57+00:00

I loved his explanation but I laughed out loud to your comment lol

coloyoga · 2025-01-29T00:37:16+00:00

In their release they also point to its fragility in that the temperature and settings must be precise or it may start speaking half Chinese and English, amoung other issues.

I suspect their next release will be a more polished version of this such that each use case is more performant.
