hrorq··on Roland Fryer's Interview on EconTalk
This is easily one of the best podcasts I've heard this year.
hrorq··on Ask HN: Is the science depicted in A Thousand Brains, credible?
My general suggestion is to get a little more context about the understanding the brain to extract frameworks of intelligence.

Two books general, popular books on the subject I recommend are:

1/ The Master Algorithm - Pedro Domingos 2/ On Intelligence - Jeff Hawkins

It's a good idea to read Jeff's previous book to see how he's built upon the original vision in A Thousand Brains.

hrorq··on Ask HN: What are the best tools to set and track personal goals?
Tried it. :(

Built for teams, not individuals. It's a great process, but it didn't seem to work for me.

hrorq··on Ask HN: What are the best tools to set and track personal goals?
Based.

This is a problem I genuinely face and am working towards avoiding.

hrorq··on Ask HN: What are the best tools to set and track personal goals?
This is true.

Existing systems really solve an extreme user's issues or are too limited in their ability to be flexible to a user's (in this case, my) requirements.

Yeah, going ahead with the no-code/low-code solution seems most plausible.

The challenge is to not over-engineer it and make it an ambit for my own fallacies or lapses in behaviour. Keeping it light, balanced, and focused should be the priority.

I think the emotional side of things can come in a bit later as what I am looking for is that core, objective follow-up and motivation for task completion as well as a progress update on every weekend, month-end, and year-end.

hrorq··on Ask HN: What are the best tools to set and track personal goals?
Yeah.

This seems like the most straightforward, practical approach.

I am really considering building my own tools this time but I really wanted to get a feel of what worked for other people. I don't want to be in a situation where I have already committed to build something and halfway through, I find a simple-enough solution that works well.

But yeah, sheets is a great way to think about, probably the most objective.

It's wild when you lose your grant programme because a few people decided not to show up for Photo Day.
