I am embarrassed to admit I always thought people focused too much on protein and it was bro science but I also never managed to get stronger despite resistance training. Then in my forties I finally started eating 150-180 g of protein a day and doing resistance training to exhaustion a couple days a week and the difference has been huge. I wish I’d done this 20 years ago.

That’s fantastic! Don’t beat yourself up. What’s important is that you're taking good care of yourself today! You took control!

I can share a very simple incentive for exercise.

As you age, you will lose lean muscle and bone density. But you do have some control in maintaining a healthy level of strength for your elder years.

You can maintain strength and density by engaging in resistance training.

The total amount of training required is up for debate. I follow Dr. Peter Attia and he discusses needing about 1 hr a week of resistance training.

The other aspect of maintaining strength is protein intake. Dr. Attia describes it as a “chore”, that is to consume 1g of protein supplement for each pound of body mass. That’s a lot!

Think about your future, do you want to be strong and mobile into your later years? I see older unhealthy people walking the streets and don’t envisage myself letting that happen.

You must take good care of yourself and put in the time to exercise and eat properly.

AI is a change management problem.

Using it well requires a competent team, working together with trust and transparency, to build processes that are designed to effectively balance human guidance/expertise with what LLM's are good at. Small teams are doing very big things with it.

Most organizations, especially large organizations, are so far away from a healthy culture that AI is amplifying the impact of that toxicity.

Executives who interpret "Story Points" as "how much time is that going to take" are asking why everything isn't half a point now. They're so far removed from the process of building maintainable and effective software that they're simply looking for AI to serve as a simple pass through to the bottom line.

The recent study showing that 95% of AI pilots failed to deliver ROI is a case study in the ineffectiveness of modern management to actually do their jobs.

Another claim for AI success, followed by, nothing specific

You should read the story The Perfect Match from the book Paper Menagerie and other stories by Ken Liu, it goes into what you mentioned about Google.

Thanks for sharing.

There is also a movie called Her, with Joaquin Phoenix and ScarJo. Absolutely brilliant.

> I think the skills that should be emphasized are how do you think for yourself?

Independent thinking is indeed the most important skill to have as a human. However, I sympathize for the younger generations, as they have become the primary target of this new technology that looks to make money by completely replacing some of their thinking.

I have a small child and took her to see a disney film. Google produced a very high quality long form advert during the previews. The ad portrays a lonely young man looking for something to do in the evening that meets his explicit preferences. The AI suggests a concert, he gets there and locks eyes with an attractive young woman.

Sending a message to lonely young men that AI will help reduce loneliness. The idea that you don't have to put any effort into gaining adaptive social skills to cure your own loneliness is scary to me.

The advert is complete survivor bias. For each success in curing your boredom, how many failures are there with lonely young depressed men talking to their phone instead of friends?

Critical thinking starts at home with the parents. Children will develop beliefs from their experience and confirm those beliefs with an authority figure. You can start teaching mindfulness to children at age 7.

Teaching children mindfulness requires a tremendous amount of patience. Now the consequence for lacking patience is outsourcing your Childs critical thinking to AI.

I'm a data scientist and ml engineer, used to be in tech sales before transitioning to a technical role.

I've spent most of my adult life using using linkedin for business development and job search. What people don't realize, it's the worlds most accurate business database. Highly effective for networking, where you can see peoples interests and interaction and match up with like minded peers and contemporaries.

I agree that the user generated content is indeed mediocre.

When it comes to posting content, I subscribe to Cal Newport's theory, if you produce something that is valuable and rare, people will find you. People spending their time posting large amounts of content are not creating anything valuable or rare.

All the cloud providers have some hosted / custom version of an AI/ML deployment and training system. Good enough to use, janky enough to probably not meet all your needs if you're serious.

I use google cloud for ML. AWS has a similar offering.

I find google is purpose built for ml and provides tons of resources with excellent documentation.

AWS feels like driving a double decker bus, very big and clunky, compared to google, which is a luxury sedan, that is quite comfortable to take you where you’re going.

I went to the GitHub page. The descriptions of the service seem redundant to what cloud providers offer today. I looked at the documentation and it lacks concrete examples for implementation flows.

Seems like something new to learn, an added layer on top of existing workflows, with no obvious benefit.

This feel like much too broad a statement to be true.

This is just what they wish to be true.

You're not neurodivergent. You're a suffering conscious being just like everyone else. Anxiety and depression are caused by ignorance, not circumstance or personality traits, or anything else. With ignorance there is greed, and anger, and delusion. It is because there is no limit to the diversity of delusion that you cling to the view that you are neurodivergent, and otherwise hold the view that you exist in such and such relations to such and such entities and possess so and so qualities and essences. This is why it is said that ignorance alone is the cause of all mental suffering and dissatisfaction experienced by conscious beings.

Our brains are prediction machines. Anxiety is the anticipation of unpleasant experience, which comes from conditioning, not ignorance.

You can be completely aware of your experience and still feel anxiety. So your thinking is flawed.

Your response is telling. You are triggered by a benign comment and generalize harsh views towards all people.

You sound like a troubled young man who feels invisible.
