- y-curiousI was just having a conversation (argument) with my MIL about this. She claims that people have felt that SS would run out of money before they retire her entire life. Has this sentiment been tracked at all? I certainly feel like I (aged mid-30s) will not be benefitting, but the common argument is that the Ponzi scheme will find a way to perpetuate for longer
- “Set your own boundaries, or someone else will do it for you”
Turtles all the way down
- This is a lovely mental model and also makes me feel a host of existential dread. I had a semblance of vision before gen AI and I think that vision needs serious revision
- > Edit - a couple of other things possibly helped around the same time, so I'm not sure if I ever isolated the effect of breathing. But it definitely felt like it was a significant part of it.
Hey, even if it only helped 5% of your recovery, that’s still good. It’s not like there’s any medicine or treatment that fixes 100% of a problem. It’s like saying “pickleball is a treatment for obesity, but doesn’t cure it”
- My one HUGE gripe about Buteyko in particular is the nasal breathing bit. Breathing through your nose is good imo, but I don’t think it needs to be such an important goal all the time
- A lot of the Buteyko studies suffer from small sample sizes unfortunately. I have heard good things about Buteyko from athletes but I’m not well-read on this. I think myofunctional therapy has more Western research done on it and is strongly related
- Full disclosure: my mother runs a practice in NYC and implements Buteyko a lot with patients. It’s called HappyMyo and I helped her set up the website.

I think Buteyko suffers from a marketing problem wherein it sounds really “eastern medicine”. I think it actually can be super beneficial to people, assuming they have the patience and discipline to commit to it for many months. It’s not easy and I think the success rate is so high because the people that seek it out are pretty determined.
I strongly encourage people research myofunctional therapy also if you snore/have sleep issues or find yourself out of breath often. It’s like physical therapy for your airway where you do lots of exercises regularly over months. I’m not even trying to advertise here, just trying to spread the word in case it helps someone.

- That’s funny, picturing their sales team smirking and rubbing their hands mischievously at every publicized manhunt
- That is something I hadn’t even considered. That is super scary; Part of me thinks it’s inevitable. People famously lack any sort of empathy for the falsely accused until it happens to them, so why wouldn’t they vote for a “save the children: use AI judges!” bill in 10 years?
- Sorry, I don’t remember. They’re all the same on Ali insofar as they’re a cheap iPad clone with physical hookups. I paid around $170 because it’s a beater car. If I cared, I’d buy online in the US for $400
- I expect it to be free when the ad revenues are huge and the titles are “you WON’T believe what Elon said on Xitter!” clickbait.
This is why substack exists
- It runs on the last commit with the idea that it will all be squashed at merge. Are you worried about reverting some commits but not all?
- Good point, it’s I ind of like how NSO, the spyware company, “complies with all applicable laws” of the countries they sell their spyware to.
- That was a lot of fun. I found “the” to be a bit misleading. Thanks!
- I understand the concern, I have an Aliexpress HUD in my Forester. My question: why not just get one with no internet? If privacy is a concern, get one from an American distributor that supports CarPlay; My understanding is that internet is not shared with the HUD.
- I mostly worry about the effects on career progression. I’ve been WFH for 6 years and I feel like I am missing out on making weak social connections as a result.
That said, it’s really lovely overall. I have a kid on the way and it’s hard to imagine RTO now.
- AWS WAF has some presets you can use
- In a shocker to nobody, the people profiting AND making the rules are not ruling against themselves. An annoying system to be sure
- When I was hiking in Joaquin Miller park in Oakland, I saw a man on a dirt bike version of a unicycle. He had just finished a route that I wouldn’t do as a novice mountain biker.
Learning that unicycles don’t have suspension has made that memory even more surprising. I want to understand the motivations, which were not addressed in this FAQ.
- Disagree with your reading, respectfully. The majority of that book is putting into words the things we like about people. It helped me immensely, especially points like not criticizing people and thinking it’s helpful. I would say the title aged terribly and comes off as sociopathic.
