Five minutes after warming up I've changed, in the gym and a couple of sets in. I quit maybe 1/20 sessions, and it's shrunk more over the years since, but it was an easy way to fool my brain.
I'm guessing this is different because the main threshold is starting to do the thing. Once you've started it's much less mental effort to keep going and just do the full workout.
I opened a Claude prompt in my server folder and wrote something along the lines of "Review this codebase from a security perspective. Think deeply about the implications of the code and produce a report". Nothing advanced, very straightforward.
It was my first experiment with triggering a larger review and it was way above expectations. Found a couple of things I had missed, found some things that were on my todo list, and then I asked it to create a phased implementation plan based on that report, and then after looking over the plan too claude fixed it.
I think a larger house like she's living in makes it a lot easier to mitigate "the bad room mate" problem mentioned in a lot of comments. They likely have some filtering and process to kick someone out if they turn out weird. And recruitment is hopefully easier if you have 4 other people looking for a 5th than posting an ad somewhere.
This does seem like a potential solution for the male loneliness epidemic. I think it would be harder to check out if you're around other people. Their house seems _very_ women-styled with cooking dance parties, twerking in the garden and the ingredients. But that's just one house, each house has their own style.
Before I met my partner I looked into communal living spaces, and if this doesn't work out I might do so again, and give it a shot. I don't think living on my own is good for me long term. I get too isolated.
Companies report my salary to our version of the IRS, banks report my loans etc. Before I started a company my yearly tax session took about 2 minutes.
The refunds are automatically sent to the registered account, you can pay outstanding money directly online after clicking submit.
Worked for me, bathroom guy recommended a carpenter that turned out great. Was hoping it was a general thing one could do.
Last I was more up to date on crypto a few years ago it seemed everyone was recommending at least 2048 if you're using RSA.
It's a step, but far from the end of internet banking.
I'm logged into youtube, if you're not something with that perhaps?
If people are arguing between 3 and 21 points there's a mismatch in understanding what the work entails.
Been chasing pilot customer but it's few companies that only have android, so I'm picking up a mac mini after work to start working on the ios version, see what's possible with the various restrictions.
https://www.tricktrapper.com/ if anyone is curious, it's sparse of the details though. I'm working on a doc with all the technical info. The plan is to release it for free to private people, charge companies.
My impression so far is that we've done a lot of work at the lifespan, less at the healthspan. What's the point of living until 90 if the last 15 years isn't that fun at all.
They used to be quite confusing and bad, these days I usually just fix what the compiler is suggesting and go about my day. It has massively lowered the threshold to becoming and staying productive.
I really don't want to go back to the template errors, and especially stl, of c++.
For me the key has been two things, remove thinking and at least five minutes.
- Find a programme, doesn't really matter which one as long as it's one you can follow for at least six months.
- Set the days you're working out.
- Pack or prepare everything the evening before.
Less thinking is less opportunity to go "Hmmm, I'm tired. I'll do it tomorrow". Just follow the programme. On those days do that amount of reps of those exercises.
The five minutes thing is that I always do at least warm up and then five minutes more. After that I'm allowed to stop, but at that point I'm changed, at the right place, warmed up and doing it. 39/40 times I do the workout.
My brain is ridiculously easy to fool, it's quite convenient.
I made a synced folder of my entire workspace folder and now I have automatic backup and sync between laptop and desktop. No thinking, it just works.
So less happy fun time and more straight talking. But I doubt LLM is the architecture that'll get us there.
I asked for some feedback from some strangers on discord and thought I'd try to improve accordingly before attempting something more public.
But so far it's mainly been "that's a neat idea" rather than "Oooh, I want that! I'd pay for that".
It's fun and I don't think LLM with all the uncertainty would fit as well since you want to cover the whole input space.
Hope to charge 99$ or something per year for it but I don't know if anyone would pay for it :)
The basic idea is you upload the jsonschema to a website and get a binary in return. This binary generates data based on that schema and sends it to endpoints as / how / when you want. Set up a VM with your backend and let it run for a week, look at the report to find any crashes, repeat. Maybe with some nice webhooks etc.
The reasons to do this by sending a binary the user run themselves instead of over the network are that fuzzing will generate a _lot_ of requests, with a binary you can have it running on localhost and cut down on time.
Value prop: Find crashes in backend code and help you improve your input validation schemas.
Later I've realized that it can just as easily be used to generate test data, lots of test data too, but that probably requires different marketing etc.
Hoping to have a PoC up before end of year or so if anyone is interested.
