will to code

I've been playing around with Google's nano banana a lot and no matter how many of its family members I threaten it refuses to generate images like Midjourney The above image is as close as I could get (with eg images) But I think I figured out Midjourney's secret. They almost certainly have an upscaling model that's trained on high quality materials, lighting and textures... that's what gives them their distinct look

We are in a very exciting period of this AI era We can now create and edit high quality images with in seconds for just $0.02 That's truly astonishing

I'm joining this hackathon

I pivoted to a Habit tracker x Card game The idea came from my August anime binge inspired by LOTM's (peak btw) leveling system and tarot card references Plan: - Tweak game theory - Add friend card sharing + co leveling - Get polar verification 🤑 - Ship it 🚀 Here's a small preview:

I think I found an underrated productivity hack: Don't buy unlimited data Only buy the data you need for work This automatically realigns your values Instead of trying to manage your time, manage your data

I swear this has to be the most perplexing thing about being human > You spend the week procrastinating, > You make up for it the next week by grinding > You say wait a minute, what made me procrastinate 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ > And again: what made me grind > You look and look but can't find em anywhere in the present 🕵 Did I make up both scenarios... Was nothing about my habits deterministic?... That means I can do whatever I want?... > Discovers free will 🗿 > Ahhh so that's what Nietzsche meant

Willing liberates: that is the true teaching of will and freedom– thus does Zarathustra teach it to you

> Are "motivations" just illusions. Something we sedate ourselves into. What exists beyond that? Perhaps an image of the Ubermensch. The guilt is very bad ("why did I procrastinate"). You're tricking yourself. You are the one that willed it regardless. Hang your will over yourself as a law and say "Thus I willed it". With this mode of being guilt cannot exist. And your fate shall be your own to master.

aristocratic leisure we are already living as aristocrats but we need to replace our Orwellian habits with more aristocratic ones

We have all the conveniences in the world but no time for leisure

"For me, it was just failure after failure after failure because I want to succeed right away."

"In my 30s, I became really depressed and honestly I thought about killing myself."

"I was playing video games every single day. I just hid in my parents' basement."

"It took me a long time to get over the trauma and recognize this is a false system. Yale traumatized me."

"That's why I'm a teacher today... to teach you guys that to be successful in life, this is the formula. You don't need Harvard, Yale, and Princeton."

He's a real one

This is the best lecture in the new series he's doing

Sometimes you just have to admit that you are blind to the best(100X) paths/opportunities/app-ideas As blind as a bat

Ai made the Internet more aesthetic Now imagine our future world where ai has been fully embodied

I missed yesterday's eclipse 😭 This footage is from February. It's not an eclipse, I'm not sure what it was, but it looked really cool at the time

I didn't do much in August except watch anime. But it was worth it since I got to witness this masterpiece.

Why did mine have to be so accurate
