I think it has to do with longer bean fermentation periods. I haven’t really looked into how they accomplish it, but it is like a miso or other fermented flavor that adds complexity. I usually have to sweeten those coffees, or add some cream to balance it out, but I do enjoy the flavors once I get them toned down a bit. I can see myself building up to drinking them black eventually.

Chocolate, nutty and some fruits. Anything floral or herbal is a no-go for me. I have been liking some funky coffees lately. I have also gravitated away from dark roasts to medium and light.

I don’t know, but I do know that there comes a point where you no longer have enough space mentally to stand and do the work you need to do. I suspect that there is a point where someone’s story of suffering consumes them so totally that even a very qualified therapist, or maybe the Buddha himself, couldn’t pull that person back from the brink. That power to heal has to come from inside, and at some point that person may just fully believe that the power is spent. It can’t be spent in truth, but that doesn’t matter if the belief exists that it is spent.

Just East of Flagstaff, AZ.

While I appreciate the look, I honestly think the sticker ruins it. If you have to TELL people you give zero fucks, then you give at least one fuck.

This is a really well thought out experiment and, without digging into the actual code, seems to attempt to really answer the question asked in the OP. Arguments to be made against it revolve mostly around how much to care about certain features and whether or not someone’s favored feature is included in the analysis. But this seems to do a great job of answering the, “better”, question, given that someone can precisely define what they mean by better.

This is an awesome discussion, but let’s define a term before we really dig in.

When you say, “works better”, I’m reading that to mean something like, “most accurately represents the coherent, extrapolated volition of its population”.

Does that match your meaning?

How in the hell did I not know about this until today?!?!

I listened to this one and then their cover of Take On Me, and they were both excellent! Thank you!

This is what the Buddha came up with 2500 years ago! This is what the Hindus have known for millennia! This is exactly what Jesus was referring to in The Gospel of Thomas! This meme actually contains ancient wisdom! Thank you for sharing it!

Seriously, though! What is the upside of posting AI slop on Lemmy? Everything is made up and the points don’t matter. They are only making the Internet worse! Wait… Maybe that’s the point…

Yes! This was my take as well. Cool mechanics! This could work! I hope they shut up in the final game.

Dang it! You’re right! It was Mad, not Crazy! I’ll not edit my original post out of shame.

I think this is what going crazy feels like!

The Bulls jersey is another nice touch!

His stuff on Waking Up, or something else? I’ve listened to everything he has done on Waking Up. Have you watched much of Angelo DiLullo on YouTube? Or read his book?

I love anything Adyashanti! I’m currently fixated on this conversation he has with a young man who is somewhere in the final fetters.

I use the Logseq app on my phone and computer and synchronize data using Google drive. Obsidian does the synchronization for you, but costs a small amount if you are averse to costs. I like it because I can organize things organically, using tags, and create pages for topics that I plan on revisiting many times.

Hey. I’m so happy to hear that you are back doing music! Your happiness and joy means everything to me!

The rest of your message reads as though you think you failed at something, but that really isn’t possible. You are amazing. If you ever feel like life is beating you down, it probably means you are trying to force yourself along a path that isn’t the right one for you. Long before you get to this point, please stop and look around and ask yourself if this road is even the one you are supposed to be on. There is absolutely no shame in deciding that you need to backtrack, but there can be great suffering, for yourself and those around you, if you keep trying to fit yourself to something that isn’t you.

Make music.

Have friendships.

Only worry about money to the extent that you need it to survive. All other efforts should be put into joy and connections.

I’m very proud of you.

Edit: I thought of something else I needed to say. Don’t worry at all about the larger world.

In fact, it is best just to pretend it doesn’t exist. Live small. Love everyone, even the assholes. Realize that their actions are born of fear. Do right where you are. If everyone stopped worrying about things outside of their immediate scope and instead focused on performing right actions where they are, the world would be better, but you can’t control everybody. You can only control you. Focus on the things you can improve and try not to know anything about the rest. You will be happier and better for those around you if you do.

I came in here to say that they had just reinvented mediation!
