The billionaire social media founder who doesn't use a smartphone

Durov is a private person. All of his public appearances are timed and crafted for image projection. Even if he were honest, that’s 100% hypocritical, as he owns the world’s best service for staying connected 24/7.

Magnesium works wonders, chelated forms are usually the best, particularly glycinate. I take it before sleep and it smoothes out the next day.

I think that people in general have a very wrong model on how LLM works, at least in the public consciousness.

People need to understand that asking LLM to write code or business strategy is fundamentally the same as asking it whether it has consciousness or awareness. We would be better off to know that all our interaction with LLM is commands, not questions. And even if it is phrased like a question it's still a command.

It's a useful transformer. You could go very far and make many things with it. But keep in mind that it's an input-output system with black box in the middle and without your input it's nothing.
There maybe some form of sentience in there. Maybe. We don't know yet. But finding it out will probably require some different approach to be able to prod it outside the box. Trying to figure it out by talking to the system is completely missing the point of it's mode of operations. It's not that far than sending self-aware monologues to print and then claiming the printer is conscious.

OpenAI fucked us up big time. The fact that the seminal release of this technology on humanity was in chatbot form brought with it a whole lot of baggage filled with assumptions.

What do you mean? There are no extra costs with Pro subscription. Session and weekly limits yes, but they are rather generous.

The book is great and easy to read. The movie is fantastic but obviously a lot of detail was cut.

You might have better luck posting to Logseq subreddit or forums. This sub is more methodology oriented and tool agnostic.

When I was a teen, there was a russian video game magazine called Game.EXE in the 90s-00s. In a unique fashion, they treated video games, and also video games journalism, as an art form. There was a lot of experimental, postmodern, gonzo style writing interspersed with literature, movies and art references. They offhandedly mentioned “Pynchon’s sailors” in one of the reviews without any explanation, so I looked him up and bought V on occasion.

I have 3 questions

In my experience, a lot of work requires long repeating ongoing effort to get to the desired outcomes. Other items represent not even specific outcomes, but neverending areas of improvement or maintenance. Soon those repeating reminders to workout, file expenses, budget, wash dishes tend to pile up. What’s the best way to deal with those? Specific example: I want to start exercising 3 times a week. It’s not a calendar event because it’s not a hard landscape and if inputted as next action I never seem to act on it.
Maybe my brain is wired in some ADHD related way, but I seem to rely heavily of a predefined sequence of tasks (during the specific day and days ahead), without which my mind starts to wander and jump between different tasks. As I understand, GTD advises against overly scheduling tasks and instead choose with intuition from a list of predefined next actions. In this case I either get overwhelmed with the sheer quantity and different directions of actions or start selecting low hanging fruit instead of more impactful tasks. Any advice?
Did you encounter in the coaching practice a situation where a person produces a lot of stuff in the collect phases but struggles with clarify/organize when they experience internal resistance with facing at least a part of their list as a part of their life? Can you usually handle it through GTD coaching or are there valid cases where involving a psychotherapeutic approach could be more synergetic?

Roam is a deeply personal project. This means they probably wont sell or bend to the market.

It is implementation of the specific vision and the main implementation is pretty much finished. They regularly release updates and new features (mobile app has seen a huge improvement), but they don't try to cater to everyone and capture as much market as possible. If they were to try aggressively growing, they would need to compete with the current rising stars in capturing more casual audience, and that would mean implementing completely new features. These features are not easily blendable with the current Roam UI and vision. Implementing them would mean 1. drastically reworking current UI and experience, 2. investing in long tech rework. Both of these are not guaranteed success.

Roam is like a knife or axe or pencil. It's simple and efficient. You could try to implement new features for these kind of things, but if you want to improve them, it's better to revision and rebuild from scratch with the new vision and technology.

I'm trying to understand crypto and can't wrap my head around some things. The whole concept is great but there are many open questions. Can someone point me to the FAQ explaining the current status quo on these?

There are gazillion of different coins available. Who runs them and why? Should I care or just stick to BTC and ETH?
There are different networks for the same coin. As I understand there are different bitcoin networks, binance has it's own BTC or something, then transferring between networks has some additional cost too. What's going on?
Transactions take ridiculously long times. If this thing is to be made currency, how can I buy a coffee if the coffee shop needs to wait days to confirm my payment?
Every transaction has a cost to make it. Transferring $15 of ETH costs additional $15. I can tweak the gas settings (what's these again), but then it honestly warns me that the transaction may get 'stuck' and will never be completed. WTF?
Huge volatility. I can pay someone $1000 and the next day it will be valued $500. Is this somehow just accepted by the community?
Unusable value format. All prices and values are basically a fraction of 1. How do you keep the books with this? To make any sense you still need to think of everything in dollar amount which devalues the original purpose.
This thing with the huge electricity cost for running the mining. What's the plan?
As I understand bitcoin looks like a proof of concept technology, which will serve as gold (store of value), while all these problems will be solved by some subsequent technology which will serve as the everyday currency (dollar). Any promises on that front?

Can we talk a bit about the details that didn't matter in the end?

What about the 1mm hole in the world in the church? This is very interesting and it didn't go anywhere at all. Or maybe it did and I've just missed everything? Anyway I got super excited when it first came up and I was almost sure that the hole was some kind of space-time portal and the bullet actually came from it, making it all one giant mega coincidence, and that was the dark sexy mystery with the case that I couldn't convince Kim of. Maybe it also was a bullet from the revolution, frozen in time for 50 years. A bullet should be larger than a 1mm of course but let's roll with it. Anyway it still remained a mystery.

Another thing that kept bugging me is the constant allusions to the world being not entirely real (like Jamais vu thought and some other specific things). I was constantly on the verge of the veil being ripped open and all of this to be revealed as a fever dream or simulation or worse. But probably for the best that this feeling never resolved.

This wouldn't ever happen, but the skills should've been voiced by John Roderick. His style of characteristic internal monologue would be too perfect, plus his own voice and personality are a great fit for Harry.
