renarl··on 1-Bit Bonsai Image 4B Image Generation for Local Devices
Are there any examples where it has happened in tech? Maybe internet Pop-ups are closest, that are now automatically blocked. But seems unlikely that we would not use image generation. Just not trust any image by default.
renarl··on AI coding assistants are getting worse?
Strange that the article talks about ChatGPT 4 and 5 but not the latest 5.2 model.
renarl··on Ask HN: How to restore cognition after years of trauma? I feel slow and dumb
I second this book. Somatic therapies and IFS helped me especially.
renarl··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (January 2023)

    Location: Europe

    Technologies: JS, Swift, SwiftUI, Python, Django
    Email: renarl@gmail.com
I am a full stack and mobile developer with a PhD in computer science and proficiency in JavaScript, Python, and Swift. I am particularly excited by the recent advances in text and image generation and am seeking a company that shares my passion for using technology to drive innovation and improve people's well-being.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects related to the semantic web, knowledge representation, and machine learning, and have founded a few companies of my own. One recent project that I am particularly proud of is an emotions learning app that helps individuals better understand and manage their emotions. This app has already made a positive impact on the lives of people, and I am excited about the potential for it to reach even more people in the future.

I believe that my technical expertise, dedication to delivering mental well-being, happiness, and capability amplification, and my entrepreneurial spirit make me a valuable asset to any team. If you know of any opportunities that align with my goals and values, I would love to hear from you.

renarl··on Small Modular Reactors Exacerbate Challenges of Nuclear Waste
The first thing that comes to mind is the risk of wide-area contamination if a rocket explodes.
renarl··on I need to stop being boring
I had a similar problem with emotions: specifically, limited emotional vocabulary and the inability to distinguish what I’m feeling. To help myself, I partnered with an emotion coach and created an app to expand my emotional vocabulary and come into contact with what I’m feeling. https://apps.apple.com/app/emote/id1609038427
renarl··on Intellectual Loneliness
Thanks for the pointers. I would buy a book/course about hosting different kinds of parties if you ever decide to write it up :)
renarl··on Intellectual Loneliness
I’m curious about party design/engineering. Can you tell me a bit more about how to do it? Are there any good books/resources you can point to?
renarl··on Chocolate from Bean to Bar
Makes me wonder how many insanely taste things we are not experiencing because they went extinct or have not appeared yet. Defiantly there are way way more than the ones that we happened to overlap with.
renarl··on Five Minute Journal – Daily Journal Techniques and Tips
I’ve also found that journaling without prompts is much more sustainable for me. Now, for the second year, I’m doing daily morning pages of at least 750 words. It takes me about 30 minutes of free-flow writing. I can write whatever comes, and if nothing comes, I write that. It’s helped me to become much more self-aware about what’s going on in my mind and also mostly solved my fear of starting from a blank page.

Initially, I used https://750words.com/ which helped to create a routine. But now I'm using obsidian daily notes with a word counter plugin.

If it’s so important for the whole planet, why is no one paying Brazilians to keep the rainforests intact?
