    It’s not about having no thoughts. It’s about not being involved in the thought occurring. We often identify with our thoughts and feelings in a way that we do not when we see a cl…

    I’d respectfully disagree here. All phenomena are defined not just by what they are but also by what they are not. I can tell something is relatively tall because I can compare its…

    Yeah that’s exactly what I mean by not inserting yourself. When you engage with the thoughts, feelings, and sensations, your awareness narrows and you focus on them. As your focus …

    I sense the snark but no. Just fully experience your current moment as it changes without inserting yourself.

    I get where you’re coming from but they are listing these things out because those are some of the things you will likely automatically do to distract yourself from the present mom…

    I’m with you in this thread. I’m by no means well studied in philosophy but I enjoy the domain so I’ve learned enough to know how difficult nailing down some of these topics can be…

    This is my take as well. I think the voice LLMs tend to use in writing sucks but I’m honestly not good enough at English as a discipline to tell you why. That said when it comes to…

    spirituality doesn’t have to mean you believe in spirits in the sense of ghosts etc. I believe that if that’s where the definition of exploring one’s own inner world ends, then tha…

    The bastardization of the term “spiritual”/“spirituality” has done deep damage to the collective psyche. The view that spirituality is following dogma rather than an exploration of…

    Equating a belief in gods with spiritual discovery is also a take.

    If you swing an axe with a lack of hand eye coordination you don't think it's possible to seriously injure yourself?

    It's very very smooth for me now. Impressive. Thank you for sharing!

    Because this isn't just converting HTML to markdown. I'd recommend taking another look at the website and particularly read the recipe example as it demonstrates the goal of the pr…

    I'm glad you shared your experience because I've dealt with this for decades. It's usually a small snippet, 15 seconds or less, of a song that just loops over and over for me. What…

    I agree that not everyone wants to be. I think OPs point though is the market will make “not being a prompt engineer” a niche like being a COBOL programmer in 2025. I’m not sure I …

    If you think of FE web development as just HTML, CSS, JS and the framework de jour then I could see that. However, the most skilled FE engineers I know aren’t just doing that. It i…

    I’m no climate scientist but I would think it’s similar to toxicity/poisoning. You can die from water intoxication but certainly you need it to live as well. So no, I don’t think i…

    Ah okay, I understand the perspective now. Thanks for the extra information.

    I'm legitimately unsure here but how are single parents incentivized financially? That's an environment that I am wholly unfamiliar with so I really have no context.

    Don’t you think that blockers affecting long term timelines will have ripple effects for higher level planning? Not everyone involved in that communication will be clued in to the …

    I don’t think that’s another way to state that… The original statement is a bidirectional statement. Meaning you should also be able to decline calls and the other party will have …

    Yeah exactly. If they signed a multi-year lease, they are still on the hook for the same amount of money but the space won't be used. It might feel bad but it was already budgeted …

    Which is the rub, right? How can a non-expert reasonably come to a conclusion of whether or not an expert's prediction is baseless or is actually solid/insightful?
