This is the only app I've built for myself: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-mirror-timer/id6760243207 It's basically an adaptive timer for remaining oneself to be mindful and aware throughout the

It's related to this https://trane-project.github.io/generated_courses/transcript... which generates all the individual lessons for each stage in the guide. It has nothing to do with generative AI. The software is

We would be a much more musically proficient society if we stopped this obsession with teaching music through written notation and just taught music aurally from the beginning, and notation only later for those who need it. It made sense at

I highly advice anyone against taking up this type of ear training practice if what they want is just to play music recreationally. I did it for a while, stressed out about it, and I saw very little improvement in what really mattered to me

The only religious argument is materialism. It's real because enough people have convinced themselves that it's "scientific". Even though there is no proof whatsoever, no solid hypothesis, no experiments to prove how mat

I can't read minds. I know I have one and you know you have one. That's enough for both of us to know that mind is a real phenomenon. As for why any materialist explanations are unsatisfactory is that even if you managed to map ev

What is there to explain about psychedelics? There is nothing special to them. They affect the bodily aggregates of a being and cause the contents of the experience to change. So does eating a donut. There is no contradiction with what I sa

There is no hard problem of consciousness not because of the baffling arguments against it in this article, but because materialism is not true. This article and the entire description around the hard problem just shows the amount of mental

I pasted a blog that I wrote myself and flagged hundreds of patterns. Granted, the article is 15,000 words so some are expected but there are simply too many false positives to make this and any similar tool have any usefulness beyond flagg

No need. You just find someone that has a proper transmission, meaning that they were taught by a teacher that also had transmission, and so on. It's sort of like medical school. Your doctor was trained by doctors that trained under ot

If it's any consolation, they are full of shit. In the second jhana and above, the factors of initial and sustained attention disappear. In practical terms, this means you cannot direct your thoughts away from the object of concentrati

There is plenty of proof, just not the type of proof likely to be accepted by people looking for a measurement from an external device, which precludes scientific proof until consciousness can be measured. Given that science cannot identify

I mostly work with existing codebases so I didn't really want to vibecode for real. The only vibecoded thing was an iOS app and I didn't follow this process because I don't know iOS programming nor do I want to learn it. This

It's mostly rust projects so error handling is writing `?` and defining the signatures as either Option or Result for the most part.

I think full literate programming is overkill but I've been doing a lighter version of this: - Module level comments with explanations of the purpose of the module and how it fits into the whole codebase. - Document all methods, consta

Tried to use Show HN for my new project a couple months ago with almost no traction. It's a software literacy tutor, so I guess it's not the right audience, but my intuition aligns with this. For reference, an earlier post showing

This is completely incorrect. The process of Tukdam has nothing to do with diet. I can’t say what the actual process involves with too many details because it’s not appropriate to share with outsiders, but it involves meditating through sle

Sure, no problem in pointing it out. I did not hide the fact and I invite anyone to do their own research. The comments mostly draw from David Kilpatrick’s book “Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties”. It’

So the reason some kids seem to read with some instruction, even if it's not formal and super explicit, is that they have a good phonemic system. That is, they quickly understand that words are made up of smaller units (e.g. cat is &#x

So direct instruction (the philosophy behind this book) has been shown to only have modest gains compared to the best interventions, which have more than double the effect size. It works fine (not the best) for kids with no reading difficul

See my other, more detailed, comment on this thread, but the reason for this is that phonics is part of the solution, but it's not what creates fluent readers. Most phonics programs do not treat automaticity as the goal, so kids with e

I'll keep the self-promotion to a minimum, but I have been spending lots of time reading on the science consensus on how children actually become fluent readers as part of my upcoming product Pictures Are For Babies ( https:/&#x2F
