Thats actually a perspective thst hadn’t clicked for me until just now, that even learning basic words in kindergarten classes and they have funny images of anthropomorphized letters or whatever else spanning across the room, that’s subtle but powerful memory techniques being ingrained in us.

I think I understand the mechanics and intuition of how it works enough that I could apply the techniques easily enough if I wanted to but I otherwise don’t just go around spending time memorizing random mildly useful things for fun because I have other things I can do with my limited thinky power, I don’t really know how I got decent at this stuff in the first place but it just be how it be I guess, I don’t think I compare skill-wise to anyone that has actually practiced it more seriously but i can defenitely be very flexible with this stuff if I need to be.

Yeah speed reading and visualization, two massively useful underrated skills to improve that can save you loads of time if you do the right things.

For visualization there is what are called memory palaces where you basically create a symbological image or story (series of images) that are so absurd that you just simply remember them in great detail, and you can use each detail to trace back to something else more important, that’s how you get people reciting hundred of didigrs of pi or whatever else, they have just created a system that encrypts digits of pi into a more rapidly accessible format that makes it feel like you are finding information rather than it bubbling up from the depth fo your mind.

The trick there is that it feels slow and tedious and hard at first but the more practice and experience you have with encoding things, the more quickly you can just remember the most insane amount of shiz with little to no effort.

Evelyn woods speed reading book

I don’t think it helped me in particular because I have always known how to read fast and keep comprehension but it lays out all the variables that go into it, you get out of it what you put into practice basically. Speed reading is the equivalent of 2x speed videos but works much more often in real life.

Here is a quick test to prove to yourself how fast you can go

Yeah its freaking wild lol

Pixel software is mostly stock android, the hardware is great for certain things that are useful for the average linux goer and not great compared to mainstream spyware phones but that is a silly comparison…what you want is some other ROM like graphene is for sure though.

It never merged them full, just added a extra hoop to jump through.I don’t remember the current status but I think it still is going.

Lol I forgot chess boxing was a thing

The chess board is ai, the rest is all edits, original meme pic was just the dude crouched ready to fight. I was also not expecting for it to make the hand actually grab the chess board to I was planning on being OK with just a random floating chess board lol

Thats pretty good lol

Thats a good way to put it, great at math unless it has numbers lol. Maybe this just means we aren’t yet skilled enough to break out of theory land to practice land.

I forgot where I saw it initially but one time I saw a video explaining how math in schools is typically taught as grammar basically so thats why people tend to struggle in math classes because the teachers aren’t explaining mathematical/logical thinking, they are teaching the relationships of math symbols which is largely unimportant because the symbols can be defined any way you want as long as it is coherent.

So this flipped my understanding of math and got me to realize I do definitely have mathematical thinking and use it quite often abstractly like in this case of the blog post so this was a perfect way to test it, I remember seeing something similar where a monolithic mathematical equation was used to describe some other psychology thing a long time ago and I wanted to try doing that too because it really does equalize the mysticism of everyday actions as long as the points can land.

Thankyou! Glad it is being helpful

Yeah I’ve been seeing Moore’s law as a function of tech advancement basically, like its not s doubling of cpu specifically, it’s a doubling of tech change rate

+1 for aman A friend reccomended aman to me too I made a chess tips cheat sheet based on some of his videos, I’d hare the sheet now for lurkers but I’m on my phone and its on my PC and printed to keep with the chess board

Came here to mention king gizzard and the lizard wizard who is carrying all of the genres into the future.

Blue Elon makes sense since the character is a tactical ass hat

It took me awhile of using Hyprland to figure out why I didn’t like it snymore.

You dont use hyprland to daily drive, you use hyprland to create a daily driver.

people really just want a no effort feature rich daily driver

Sounds like a politician lol

For now, I think even if absolutely nothing changed with how they fundamentally worked from here on out and just kept throwing more money and data at them they could still actually automate some things away at some point, but they definitely will be also getting fundamentally better on top of this.

That is a good point, if partial economy is automated that leaves partial money available to handout as ubi.

I had dismissed ubi because that is something that would only happen if there is enough pain on the consumers for them to give handouts, I guess this did happen when covid started up but that wasn’t seen as a similar function as ubi…which actually I read about some tests of ubi awhile back and they seemed to do what we think they do but the tests seem to make that not so obvious.
