@ashleymcnamara initial thoughts: things feel way less optimistic, "tech is great, i'm bought in" compared to 5+ years ago. a lot more nihilism, burnout, and this feels like part of the equation hackathons work when there's excitement, so i'd guess they probably still work at smaller co's

also oops 3 cardamom pods may be too strong if you're fridging portions for later... maybe go 2 or even 1 3 is fine if you're drinking it right away though

homemade mango lassi goes so hard - seeds of 3 cardamom pods, crushed - 80g greek yogurt - 40g kesar mango pulp (or like 80g fresh mango) - 10g honey - 1 ice cube if eating, or 2 ice cubes if drinking - tiny tiny pinch salt recommend blending 2+ servings, for enough volume

@SK_Jynx i think because so many people are yearning for what you described (but probably haven't actually taken the leap to try stuff and be bad) worth bringing back up every now and then

@kasratweets appreciate this been thinking a lot recently around: - books for subjectivity merging - LLMs for info transfer (e.g. search, listcles, summaries) - but also LLMs for subjectivity merging (e.g. thinking partner, or BF/GF) and how mass appeal content feel smore info-transfer-y

no easy way to mute the escort discourse 😩 my broad thoughts: taboo subject + the target market is like 0.1% of men (>3sd) -> makes it easy fodder in the discourse for most people -> generates very few earnest or interesting takes

cannot wait for the AI feature that (1) cuts an NBA game down to only game time (i.e. no free throws, timeouts, ads) and (2) makes this available if at any point after a live game has started e.g. i turn on the game in the 4th -> watch the cut version from the start to present

also it's not that people didn't say this, but it's more like 1. they'd often only repeat "the biggest predictor of positive change is the therapeutic alliance" - and it's like "ok but what do" 2. it took a while for me to internalize "be an empathetic nonjudgmental presence"
