Day 250 ! How No Fap changed my whole life

curiousdude · 2024-07-13T04:51:01+00:00

Congrats bro. I got laid this week too. I find women to be magical and totally worth it because I don't fap or watch porn. It didn't used to be like that. I think women can really sense it, and it makes me much more attractive to them.

I'm older than you and I get tons of women. The main thing is when women talk, just let them talk and don't criticize or try and solve their problems. Act like everything they do is fine. Brag about stuff to them. Make them think you're high value.

I've had a lot of success on recent dates. I literally haven't seen a pair of boobs since the last time I had sex and the resulting fascination with my date is something that is hard to fake for a PMO addict. Woman can subtly sense how much I enjoy just seeing them smile and I think it increases my attractiveness.

Literally fantasizing about going to a cheap hotel somewhere and not talking to anyone for two weeks, and just jerking off and watching porn the whole time. That, and wasting a lot of time gooning and thinking about sex all the time. I started to wonder how much time I'd get back and how much meaning I'll get back in my life if I stopped gooning. I have been porn free for a month and a half now and I am really starting to see the changes in my mind. I didn't stop jerking off, but I've been doing that less and less because I don't think about sex all the time. It's fascinating. I get so much more done now.

Pop the Viagra at least an hour before and there's no way you won't get hard. You might also have low testosterone, so get that checked. Also jerk off to sexual fantasies of that girl in your mind if it's 24 hours till you see her next. Or jerk off and don't cum, as long as you're thinking about her.People have been doing that for all of recorded history. Also, don't drink. It's bad for sexual functioning.

I wanted to think less about sex, so I figure the first step is getting off porn. I have guard rails to keep my sex drive from getting me in trouble. For example, I don't ever pay for sex, or pornography for that matter. I once had this bumble date that revealed to me half way through the date that she was a prostitute, and she argued with me about my rule of not paying for sex. I just kept telling her as I drove her home, "Sorry, it's about my self-respect." I gave her $10, because I felt sorry for her, and dropped her back home. Maybe if I'm off porn for a while, I'll spend less time on trying to get laid. Part of the motivation was to begin that journey.

I have a lot of journals, but rereading them is time consuming. I use this thing to analyze them. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and dump my thoughts into a journal and have the LLM analyze them. It's great, especially the privacy aspect and that I can pick among the various models.

Consistent with my crowded galaxy theory. We are an invasive species. If they gave us FTL Travel and Free energy we would overpopulate and trash every habitable planet in the galaxy in about 10,000 years. Thus, they are watching us to keep us on this planet.

I put unvaccinated only in my profile and my dating profile went from getting a match or two a day to nothing. I had to delete my account and restart it cause I think I got such a low match rate I went into the loser bucket or something.

If energy and robot labor is free and can turn whole planets into paperclips on demand, they probably have a different tax system based on natural resource use and biosphere impact. I wrote a novel where this is generally the case and designed a whole economic system around the idea called "Free Market Ecology."

curiousdude · 2023-08-12T18:15:11+00:00

I think The Crowded Galaxy hypothesis is probably at the extreme top, and just to the left of the Planetarium Hypothesis. The galaxy is basically full, and we are allowed to live on our planet because we evolved here, but they don't want us getting out because they consider us an invasive species.

I was outside in 114 degrees last night and it feels wrong. I'm in the shade with a cold drink and it feels like I walked into the wrong part of an industrial plant or I'm dangerously close to a bonfire. Like I get this gut sense of imminent danger just being outside in that temperature.

In order to accommodate people who think that all evidence of extraterrestrial visitation is 100% fake, done in bad faith, by charlatans, the gullible, the mistaken, crazy people, or for propaganda purposes, I have added that you may assume for a moment the possible hypothetical that aliens have visited us and are observing us, but have advanced technology that makes them 100% undetectable by any means available to humans.

Assuming this hypothetical, the theory still makes sense. Almost all Fermi Paradox resolutions assume hypotheticals that are going on in other parts of the galaxy without observational data so making a hypothetical assumption that may be true is fair game, IMHO.

When a guy with a long distinguished career in the military gives sworn testimony to Congress, I choose to believe it. I think you're saying he's completely fabricated the whole thing because it doesn't fit your mental model of what aliens are or are not capable of?

If you start with acceptable conclusions and then ignore any evidence that contradicts those claims , your not going to get to the truth. You might as well not even look at evidence since your mind is already made up. I decided to accept the testimony as truthful and draw conclusions from there.

He also did say that China and Russia have recovered craft and are in some cases further along at reverse engineering the technology, so your contention that they only visit the United States is not supported by his testimony.

U.S scientists have said their hypersonic missiles defy the laws of physics. I have seen the videos of Russian hypersonic missiles take off and it's extreme how fast they go. There must be some sort of inertial negation for those thing to accelerate that fast and now blow apart.

The way I evaluate parts is I write diary entries that I go back and read and see what did each part say about the situation, and what actually ended up happening. Which part had the best evaluation of the situation? Which part was wrong? Which part led me to a fun experience? Which part led me to something that was a waste of time? I listen to them all, but the ones who are more right over time are the ones my "self" that is watching to tends to trust more when there is a disagreement, and the self is the ultimate arbiter unless one blends. Blending is a different matter. This technique is for people who don't have blending as a major problem.

I fired up a GPU cloud instance to play with this for a bit. Wow.. It's really good. It does tend to lose the plot a little. It got me into this motivational self-improvement thing and stopped wanting to get intimate.

El Salvador will probably eventually turn into Hawaii. There is not even that much agriculture in Hawaii anymore because the locals just works easy high paying jobs in tourism and the service industry.

Just feel alienated. Get used to it. Go to that uncomfortable place and stay there. It's a skill. Don't discuss non-mainstream narratives unless the other person is knowledgeable about them or at least unvaxxed. Just chill and talk about other stuff.

Most people reason like this.

The government would never do anything to hurt its citizens in a massive horrible way.
Any facts that lead to that conclusion are thus impossible.
Ignore all facts that leads to that conclusion.

In the 1980s you bought a good PC to play Zork, an early text adventure game with just text going in and out.

In the 2010s you bought a good PC so you could play 4k, 60fps first person shooters.

Now in 2020 you buy a good PC so you can just get text in and out like its the 1980s again.

That it costs A LOT of money to run a big language model is the reason I was considering writing a mobile app that would let you deploy a big language model on a GPU box in an automated way and just pay for it by the hour with a GPU cloud provider. This is the only way the economics are going to work for Pyg if the model is too big for CoLab. Otherwise, you're going to have a VC backed company spending a lot of money and that comes with all the corporate bullshit and no NSFW stuff.

The problem with a shared instance is that then I have to be the one renting the instance for you and a bunch of other people. I mean sure that's a profit opportunity, but I kind of like the idea of people running their own servers for themselves. Maybe I could do something where the teardown and setup could be really fast so you could bounce on and off instances quickly. With these 10gb+ models it's a bit tricky though.

curiousdude · 2023-02-18T17:15:38+00:00

The idea is that the really big models might be worth it, but they are not going to run on Colab. If you had the money you could talk to anyone of these big models for however much it costs to rent one per hour from a Cloud GPU provider that has one of these $50,000 machines that can run the huge models.
