Last call! Enrollment for Cohort 2 of The AI Second Brain closes tonight at midnight PT Our next (and last) cohort this year starts Thursday Here's what you'll walk away with: • Stop re-explaining yourself to every new AI chat. Build one document it reads first, so it already knows you • Connect AI to your notes and files safely, so its answers come from your real situation, not a guess • Get every file and note organized once, synced everywhere, so you stop hunting for the right document • Capture your best ideas the moment they happen, so nothing gets buried in your inbox or forgotten by Fr… Related

This is 100% the right thing to do The number one thing people say about my books is that they love reading my honest personal reflections. It enables them to connect to it If you water it down to pure ideas maybe you can crush a mass market but no one will connect with it Quoting @colossusjeremy I'm grateful to the readers complaining that I put myself in this piece too much, to which I say: -Human watermarks are more important now -I'm tired of gen z bullying everyone into fear of being cringe, we need to let it all hang out Related

Data shows that 80% of laughter has absolutely nothing to do with humor. It's a signal people use to say "I want to bond with you," not a reaction to something being funny. So if you want to instantly connect with anyone you meet: laugh with them. Here's how the Laughter Paradox works: Related

LG makes the best TVs, end of story, but their software is shit and spies on you, NEVER connect them to the internet/WiFi, instead buy an Apple TV box and connect that, that doesn't spy on you and has no ads, then connect it with HDMI and you're good, also no annoying LG TV updates

Their words
The two seemingly contradictory trends connect, because the relatively low rate of productive investment leaves European industry vulnerable to its most vigorous competitors whose firms are contending with an even more deflationary macroeconomic situation at home in China.

what really mattered was connecting you to the right people. And so, if you could just connect someone not to all their friends, but to their best friend, to their partner, to their spouse, the people that they cared most about in the world, that that that's where the majority of the value is in the network.

I was not impressed with the DGX Spark; it's described as an "AI supercomputer on your desk" but in reality it has lower tokens/sec than a good laptop GPU - and on top of that, you have to figure out the networking details of how to connect to it from your actual work device etc.

Bought a broken Grizzle-E duo charger on ebay, assuming I could probably figure out how to fix it. The problem was that it was missing the cable between the two boards. Asked @UnitedChargers support for info on how the pins on the two boards should be connected, or to buy a new cable to connect them. They wouldn't help, so a guy on Reddit took photos of his for me. Three wires later and it works perfectly and I can charge both EVs at once. Related

Something has changed recently in Safari (I have 18.6) where instead of asking you to confirm you want to connect insecurely to an HTTP server, it seems to try to automatically upgrade the connection to HTTPS and fail outright with an "unable to establish secure connection" without recourse if it can't. How.. do you get around this to connect to something like a local HTTP server with no cert/https? Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
