    It’s tough, respect for holding on as you do.

    Life’s not fair, not everyone has the mental stability that is required for a happy life. But we can hope to lessen the pain a bit.

    Headspace is indeed an app, with a subscription (not sure what the free plan is, but it helped me so I didn’t care). You can also meditate yourself or with free YT videos of course, but this app worked better for me.

    Take care, hope you find some relief.

    After 25 years of suicidal thoughts I’ve finally taken antidepressants, Zoloft was what worked for me.

    In a couple of months the black thoughts became more rare and now in a year or so they are almost gone. I don’t feel the active need to kill myself any longer. Which feels… a bit uncanny almost. Not all in life is good, but this specific lack of despair is nice; still really bizarre to not have this endless dread any longer. I try to enjoy that while it lasts.

    I did a lot of meditation as well with Headspace, can recommend that too.

    Hope you find your way.

    It’s cutting my programming work in half right now with quality .NET code. As long as I stay in the lead and have good examples + context in my codebase, it saves me a lot of time.

    This was not the case for co-pilot though, but Cursor AI combined with Claude 3.7 is quite advanced.

    If people are not seeing any benefit, I think they have the wrong use cases, workflow or tools. Which can be fair limitations depending on your workplace of course.

    You could get in a nasty rabbit hole if you vibe-code too much though. Stay the architect and check generated code / files after creation.





  • Most other companies can be selective in what they host / stream. YouTube will host/stream anything users upload and that’s actually quite insane. Current statistics say that YouTubers upload 30.000 hours of video… per hour.

    Aside from the streaming/processing, only the disk space that would need is already frightening. Most of those videos will never be seen, and no ads will be played on them. The setup needed for this is massively more impressive to me than services like Netflix.

    Do you perhaps have a source for those profit margins? I really wonder if they’re already running break even.










  • Yes, in the same way a field of corn on a farm can be seen as art. We do not have full control over how it actually looks in the end, but it’s an expression by natural phenomena (sometimes guided or initiated by humans).

    You could argue about the amount of free will required to create art. But in that case one could philosophically raise the question if humans even have free will, and if anything may be called art then at all.

    I think if something is observed as art, it is by definition art. And perhaps everything that exists and is created could fit that description. But personally one of the more interesting types of art to me are where living beings are involved in the creation, while they’re actually thinking of creating art; and I think most discussions are about that concrete level.
