A Less SMART Approach to Goal Making
Often we make goals when we are feeling the most ambitious and motivated. These often end up being too strict or unrealistic in timeline, scope, and our current abilities. We need to take into account that life rarely goes smoothly and make sure that there is enough room for bad days and life changes to still be successful. Focusing on goals that have personal, intrinsic value and are more process over result based helps working toward your goals fun and achievable.
What Happened to All the Bloggers?
In 2012, the most popular and influential creators had blogs, which inspired new people to get into blogging and writing. Few of those blogs are still around, with creators either having shifted focus or vanishing completely. Even if it’s not currently the most popular way of sharing your business or your thoughts, there’s value with sticking with something like blogging if you truly enjoy it.
Fitness for 'Anti-Aging'
“Health” is an often overlooked aspect of the health and fitness industry, which tends to prioritize young fit individuals over the actual needs of older individuals training for health. As we age, the normal process is for aging to undo a lot of our hard earned gains, but we can age gracefully by keeping up the right routine. To optimize for health, you probably need to work out a lot less than you think.
Two Workouts A Week Is Enough For 80% Of The Gains
There are strong diminishing returns to additional sets per workout, and additional workouts per week. Contrary to popular belief, a simple workout routine consisting of 2 workouts per week is enough to get 80% of the benefits of exercise with 20% of the effort. For people who do not have significant athletic or aesthetic goals, this is more than sufficient in most cases.
I Genuinely Don’t Understand What You Like About AI
I don’t understand why we call LLM’s and generative models “AI” when it’s clear that this is far from any kind of general artificial intelligence. If you know how these LLM’s work, there’s not much magic to it, and it doesn’t always seem worth the effort to fight with an AI to find an answer to a question. While I believe that there is a possible future for AGI, I don’t know if our current LLM’s are anywhere near the mark.
