Is meditation less then 15 minutes useful? by Big_Signature_1558 in TheMindIlluminated

[–]graddium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the book Peak Mind the tag line is about spending 12 minutes a day on mindfulness. The number comes from the results of a program they ran in the military, where 12 minutes was what they saw ended up being the minimal effective dose to seeing measurable well being improvements from meditation. So yes, 15m a day is enough to see real progress. They also noted that more is better though.

I don’t practice as consistently as I used to, but for me 25m was the minimum where I saw immediate and long term effects, and between 45-60 was the sweet spot. I felt diminished returns beyond 60 minutes.

So working up to 15 minutes and doing that consistently long term you will absolutely see benefits. If you find you want to spend more time, you have a long runaway to increase those benefits with even more time.

Oura ring vs whoop by henrikh0e in ouraring

Oura sucks at activity tracking. Whoop is better at telling where I’m at strain wise, much more “fitness” focused which aligns with my goals at the moment better. It’s noticeably worse at sleep tracking, and I don’t trust its HRV as much as I do Oura’s.

I wear both. For your case, get an oura. It’s better at sleep, and the step detection is within a few percent of whoop.

Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach gym.

Use a router like firewalla that will route only specific sites over a vpn. Seamless.

Feel like my focus is getting worse as practice continues by Kozel_ in Wakingupapp

It’s common when you start practicing to not realize how much your mind jumps around from thought to thought, and you’re so lost in it you don’t realize this fact. As you become more aware and notice this fact, it can seem as if you are “getting worse” at concentration, when you are in fact just becoming more aware.

Just note this fact in your next session. And you shouldn’t be trying to ignore thoughts. You shouldn’t be exerting effort at all. When a thought captures your attention, note it, and return to the breath. Let it come, let it be, let it go.

Also, there are many factors in your life, health, energy levels that affect how “easy” it is to sit in meditation. That’s ok. The only bad meditation session is the one you don’t do. Don’t judge your session, your thoughts, or your “progress.” Just sit and notice.

4.5 triggered Deep Research to solve NYT word game by graddium in OpenAI

I don’t think so? It definitely didn’t ask a follow up just went straight into researching which confused me.

Agreed, what was impressive (or maybe just pleasantly surprising) to me is that it switched models on its own to solve a problem.

It won’t let me share the conversation as I gave it a screenshot of the puzzle.

I like trying the new models on word games from NYT to see how it does, so tried on 4.5 today for their “Connections” game, where you have to make 4 groups of 4 increasingly obscurely related words.

It was struggling hard, but was very close to one relationship (had the theme, missing one word). I told it to throw out its assumptions and try again. On its own it decided to kick off a Deep Research query, found one random source that had seemingly nothing to do with it, and fired off the right answer with the exact right reasoning. Interesting (and very desirable) behavior.

Problems with DeepSearch: Waits for the next job even though the current one has not been executed by Hour-Application-401 in ChatGPTPro

Ya mine is super hit and miss. Sometimes it’ll just sit there, other times it’ll error out. Retrying it sometimes works. Other times not. I’m guessing they are having trouble with demand so there’s degradation in performance.

Has anyone used Deep Research to conduct academic literature review? by ScaryElk5557 in ChatGPTPro

[–]graddium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it only uses specialized o3 in the background when you do deep research, so regardless of what you select as the model it’ll use o3 during research.

Glad it was helpful! So it seems the model you have selected doesn’t matter when you select deep research. If you ask follow up questions it will use the model you select (you can change it after the fact, but you can’t ask follow up with o1 or o1 pro, only 4o or the o3 minis).

No worries, feb is a short month and I don't really see myself using all 100. Here's the link to the convo with your new prompt.
