I thought about doing this as well but ended up viewing it personally as a "lose-lose" for myself rather than a "win-win". I wonder if that says anything about my risk-aversion.

It means you are not a degenerate gambler. You probably also do not enjoy slot machines, or the bullshit that passes for card games in a casino. I want to play blackjack, not "blackjack" where you change the allowed bets and rules specifically to increase the house edge thank you very much.

Do you feel the same way about insurance in general?

Wild to see some actual code from the FTX repo. Laughed at the takeaway of making sure you at least hide your fraud behind some messy code.

Or more realistically compiled code where your fraudulent methods exist in patches you don't commit to git.

I seem to missing something during install -- Odin is not showing up in the list of Community Plugins. I'm running locally via docker and have tried updating the Obsidian client + toggling restricted mode + restarting. Very excited to try it out if I can get the install to work.

Did you replace it with a “dumb” phone for emergencies?

No. For emergencies have had to rely on nearby human beings, like the 1990's.

Any crazy stories from this?

Many but I like to save them for real life.

One tamer one is the time I stopped to help a woman whose car broke down on the side of Route 5 near Camp Pendleton. Her phone had died and she was stuck there waiting for help. I didn't have a phone, but knew there was a Marine Base nearby so drove there to get help. Unfortunately it was dark and I went down the wrong road and suddenly see a Marine running after my car with an M-16. Luckily he didn't shoot, laughed at my Hawaii Driver's License, and directed me to a nearby gas station, where we were able to phone for help.

Not having a phone makes every day an adventure! :)

Ah I should have searched before impulsively posting, sorry about that.

> This video is a feat of human intellect and ingenuity.

I couldn't agree more! Anyone reading this who can spare 20minutes - It's certainly worth it, and only escalates the longer you watch.

No, it was long dead. Happy you reposted!

Reposting this definitely improved your QPU alignment

I am absolutely floored at the depth of the exploits used in this video. I genuinely have a hard time imagining the number of hours that went into discovering and and mastering these techniques.

I’d argue that dance is at the very least able to express a _different_ set of concepts than language, often times more directly. Example: intimacy of dancing with a romantic partner offers a different and valuable form of expression than verbalizing the emotions.

Formal language is certainly the most effective mode of communication for some things, but don’t discredit the value of other forms.

Also, this comment seems to discount the spirit of the post without offering any real reasons why.

This is more fun than it should be - reminds me of jumping around cells in a shared google sheet

I remember me and my friends played “tag” by landing on top of each other’s cells.

What sort of things would you place in your memory palace? The concept has always been interesting but I’ve struggled to come up with useful applications outside of pure competition

Most practical use is speech talking points in place of cards, and foreign language vocabulary for self quizzing and revision. I never tried to keep anything really long term that way

I place things I want to write down when I get back to somewhere there is a pen and paper.

I used it a lot for university exam cramming.

Although I also think some part of that has to do with raise seeking. Lots of confounding variables at play.
