diplodinkus··on No evidence screen time is negative for child cognitive development, well-being
The last movie I thoroughly enjoyed was (you're going to laugh and I'm OK with that):

Hardcore Henry

Frenetic, insane, indulgent, madness. Loved it. Can stand most blockbusters, can't stand most dramas.

If everyone found joy in boring tasks, wed never advance as a society. All progress is through laziness.
diplodinkus··on Aerobic exercise is good for the brain; easy wins for behaviour change
Agreed. Pure agony. Afterwards I am so exhausted that I often find myself at the edge of tears. Worse it seems to turn off my immune system and I often get sick.

But I do have a clearer head for a few hours after a run so I keep doing it.

diplodinkus··on Claude 2.1
Agreed, but I do find gpt4 has been increasing the amount of pseudo code recently. I think they are a/b testing me. I find myself asking if how much energy it wasted giving me replies that I then have to tell it to fix.. Which is of course a silly thing to do, but maybe someone at oAI is listening?

But why is that so bad? Movies retell the same story with the same beats over and over again. I think we should be more concerned about people who can focus on something repetitive for extended periods. What's wrong with them?
