100% still my favorite smart watch. Mourn using mine like 5 years later.

Funny thing is, yesterday evening I started reading the āBurn the Fat, Feed the Muscleā book by Tom Venuto and the intro said exactly this lol, that we should burn more calories instead of eating less
Since I ran about four hours in the last two days, Iām feeling I should work more on my top body today, but I got climbing a mountain and two 1mile run planned from the two trainings Iām subscribed toā¦
Oh well Iāll just put some Weleda massage oil before and after 
But yeah I gotta work my mobility and upper body too, especially the bar hang.
On another note, the mushrooms Iāve been trying to grow since September have finally grown!! With the heat of spring they sprouted and grew.
Iām so proud.
Itās 4pm so way too late to be eating them, especially with how blue they are, but Iāll be dehydrating them, so next week or the week after I can make myself an heroic chicken-mushroom omelette maybe, itād be cool

in the end I climbed the mountain at sunset to see it but arrived just a tiny bit too late, it doesnāt matter it was very beautiful anyway.
I met some cool people up there they shared a beer with me, we shared stories, they invited me to sleep in the refuge since it was into the night instead of going down, but I wanted to take a shower and change before work, so I bid them goodbye after I got one of the guyās insta and went down, without a shirt since it was so hot and since the shirt was dripping with sweat from the climb.
Well I didnāt find the way back so I went straight down the cliff. Chamois like at first, but I was confident Iād find my way back eventually, I even found a hat someone dropped into the ravine! But then luck found me, someone let a metal ribbon attached to the side of the mountain!
So I was able to rappel down the cliff for a few tens of meters, until I found myself in pans of small rocks, I alternated between sliding down on them or walking in zigzag to go down without creating an avalanche lol.
Then finally I found a path! And it was the right one!
I never lost faith and climbed the mountain.
I never lost faith and went down from it.
If youāre confident things will work out, if you trust they will in your heart, they almost inevitably will.
Edit: also, I got to see two fireflies!! This was really cool to see them, especially since theyāre going instinct

So wednesday after a long and hard day working with German people so that they can hopefully get on debugging the app they made for our company (instead of trying to advance while ignoring the bugs that prevent us from using their app), I had a 4 days weekend.
Thursday I had an appointment with the fertility clinic to see with the doc if I could freeze my seed and when, all of the staff were extremely nice, quite the contrast with my first experience with them 4 years ago, it was a really good experience, they wanted to give me an appointment next week but I still needed to receive the result of an analysis to give them, as well as getting a blood serum analysis done, so my appointment will be early next month instead (July 2nd)
Friday, I decided to try the shrooms Iāve been growing, I felt like I was almost dying a couple times, though I got some insights, Iāve bathed in pure love with my cat purring near my face, Iāve turned back into the worm/larvae stage a couple times, and otherwise bathed in the sun near my plants and painted, Iāve had the impression my appartment was very woody, and very dusty, it felt like a dusty wooden cave, and very messy. many times my appartment kept getting bigger, my plants kept getting greener, more lush, with more flowers and more leaves, I kept getting prettier, and then at some point all took the form of very epurated and simplified lines, very plain, very empty.
It was interesting, but yeah it was too much lol (140g of freshly picked very very blue sauteed mushrooms with rice, chicken, and peanuts)
In the evening I called my parents, I wanted to hear them and talk to them, I also started sorting a bit my table, my desk, and my closet. Iāve had many supplements laying on my desk, it felt as if I was living the life of a sick person, so I put those I donāt use every day back on the pharmacy shelf. The latter needs to be sorted, those too old need to be nought to the pharmacy, this is a mess inside.
I had a ton of unread magazine, so I sort out those I want to keep, those I want to recycle, thatās many many kg of paper off my closet, off my shelves. I will have to give or recycle so many festival plastic cups too.
on my table I had a lot of paper, I started putting them to the recycle bin too, some will need to be shredded first.
I also broomed the room a bit.
so yeah, plenty of small advances, I need to take things little by little to get better.
Saturday I went to the baby shower of my exās sister, it was very nice, I was very appreciated, and I appreciated them a lot back, we had lots of fun
Sunday I was invited by my exās mom to spend the day with them, so I spent the morning continuing to sort out the magazine and recycling, and in the afternoon we went to a river for a swim, it was quite nice, again I had lots of fun.
Today is Monday, Iāve started the cycle aftermaybe a bit more than 2 weeks of washout, this morning Iāve listened to 30s of the summertime / stabilizer name embed (Stable Summer, one of the two name embed I ordered on June 1st) I started slow and thatās a good thing, starting 25s my brain felt buzzing, more than 30s would have been foolish.
I felt the need to continue sorting out my home, but I didnāt have the time this morning. itād be good too if I had maybe some better sleep, and for that Iāll need to get back some regularity in the workouts, likely put my goals and workout obn paper instead of keeping them in my mind.
This would free some loops.
Iāve been thinking too, that there are many clothes that I donāt wear, donāt fit me, and that idk where they are from, so I could just give them to the red cross and itāll free some space in my closet.
I also need to sort my food closet.
and have admin to tend to in my mail, though these still feel heavy.
this feel like a lot, but I want to take care of it.
itās the result of many years of ignoring things that needed doing.
We gotta labor to eat in this world.
I also want to volunteer some of my time and skills to the red cross, while I train to join the firefighters (hopefully by next year Iāll be good enough for the physical exam)
but yeah, the wise thing to do, is to first do what I need to be doing for myself, sort out my home, sort out my admin, empty out what is no longer of use, throw out whatever need throwing, or recycle or donate, depending on what is more appropriate.
Then, once these loops get closed, Iāll have enough time to dedicate toward helping other people.
Edit: Today, I took care of ordering a new driver licence, since my old one got stolen 2 years ago, and to order a new vehicle papers, I also added the virtual identity app on my phone, that way Iāll have my papers in case the police stop me for a control, this is something I had to do for a while, and in the end it was easier than I thought it would be.

Something Iāve seen happen more and more these last few days, is people staring at me, then I look at them, smile and say high and theyāre beaming.
It feels nice.
Monday I listen to Stable Summer (Stabilizer + Summertime name embed), yesterday I listened to Hero Zone (Hero: Origin + Limitless Zone name embed)
I nearly finished all the admin and medical side of the stuff I needed to handle and put aside, everything is in progress, I did what I could and now time has to do its job.
Also, I refined my workout routine to balance the different aerobic and reinforcement sessions, I did good advances on the program at work, was doing much better than usual communication wise and emotionally wise with the german contractors yesterday so thatās cool.
I gotta get an handle on my sleep itād be good.
Also, while planning the present for fatherās day and my mil birthday, I found a bundle of three books: the Art of War by Sun Tzu, Bushido: The Soul of Japan by Inazo Nitobe, and the Book of Five Rings by Migamoto Musashi
Now thatās a great coincidence 
Of course I bought it and Iāll be studying them

I wanna KonMari my home.
I will do so.
But I have many things planned as well:
- re-do my fathersā father day gift (since they didnāt have the right frame format, so if I donāt wanna just give him the canvas straight I gotta do another painting on a format appropriate for the frame I got)
- go and see mom tomorrow
- interval training this afternoon/evening
- see dad all day for fathers day Sunday
- finish one of the program for work
- plan an hike sunday
So likely itāll be tomorrow morning that Iāll advance on sorting out my home,
That way I can give out magazines to the library, and clothings to a charity if I got time for it before lunch (I got a red cross near my place) (otherwise if no time Iāll do so at another point)
tomorrow afternoon for sports, tomorrow evening reading, since I can do the sport and reading while at my momsā
maybe I could swim back and forth in the pool for an hour or two as an alternative or complement to running, so I train my swimming speed, and full body.
I am blessed to have so many things to do, and to have the energy to do so.

So that the tree of life may grow within, it needs four things:
A seed of faith, the size of a mustard seed.
The water of the Holy Spirit.
The light of Godās Wisdom.
A good soil, free of poison, thorns, and other contaminants.
The Faith is courage, going through doing whatās right without giving much mind to fear.
This doesnāt mean being reckless, it means exposing fears for what they are through the light of Wisdom and to advance. Starving any lies, and reinforcing Truth and Righteousness.
The Holy Spirit in that sense, is a renewed spirit, seeking Peace, seeking to do its mission and grow the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Peace, Care and Love for one another, directly facing the enemies, Fear, Division, Shame. Knowing that we are protected.
The most important is already taken care of.
We may suffer in life, but all suffering and weaknesses may be used to our advantage.
All can be used, after being put through the light of Wisdom while bathed in the Holy Spirit, in a spirit of sanctity and care. We are the Temple.
God reside within us, he made us His home.
He breathe His wisdom within, through instinct, by hearing our prayers, our thoughts, our desires, and guiding us toward their realisation, and toward greater enlightenment. By renewing our Spirit and our Mind, through many means, an infinity of it, by guiding us from experiences to experiences. We advance hand in hand when bathed in the light of Wisdom, when we no longer flee confronting ourself, stepping into the light or shining it inside. It reveals the truth and burn lies.
Hence we may grow.
The soil is left for us, this is our mind. Our desires. Our goals. The environment we tolerate. What we accept.
What we tell ourselves is our identity is toward what we direct our selves. And so is the direction we take and the soil we cultivate. This is something we directly control, though not exclusively, similarly to how in real life we can care for the soil by feeding it what is good for it and keeping far away what is bad for it.
What we feed ourselves with, physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually, is what soil we build within us, what ground we are standing on.
With a good soil, a pure Spirit/water, and an abondance of Wisdom/light, the tiny mustard seed of Faith may grow into a huge Tree of Life, and spread these mustard seed of faith a thousand-fold, or even a million-fold!
Bringing faith and courage into thousands upon thousands of hearts, touching millions.

Hey everyone! Wow itās already been a month, half a cycle, a ton happened since.
so my home i quite a bit more sorted out, though my work desk is still a mess
Iāve cut a lot of things out that were draining me (Stabilizer), Iāve gotten into AI like a lot (Heroās mastery?), and trying to help family and get more efficient at work using it (getting to do more things)(Hero influence).
At one point I was really into running and could do a 10K quite fast, though I fell out of that to focus on AI.
I really really felt the Hero aspect, as well as the Summertime aspect, I keep improving chill and speech wise, am more friendly and caring, and more able to perform.
The Zone, and Stabilizer I feel were more working in the background, and so likely did khan2 since itās about action.
Iām turning myself more and more toward becoming an AI entrepreneur, I see thereās a ton of opportunities in the space and I have the power to grab it if I wanted to.
Iām on my second week of holiday, and mostly being on my computer building.and learning.
in my first week I went a week with no phone to a meditation retreat, I spent a week under a Kagyu Lama, learning the mahamudra, practicing, hiking, and doing various jobs such as building a greenhouse and also sewing one of the days.
Iām good at whatever I start doing, and I know subs have a lot to do with it.
since I spent the week with no phone that was kind of a week of washout, well a week and a half since weāre wednesday now, Iām likely going to continue with the current stack as it is since Iām barely at like the 5 minutes mark I believe? and I got a lot to learn still.
eventually, I think in the future Iāll pivot toward true sell, and maybe peace to help build my business.
I know emperor or stark would be good for it too, but I donāt wanna do too much at once and dilute results as Iāve been doing so far, that was quite stupid on my part. the best results I had were when I keep the stack tight, and I feel thatās how our soul is meant to learn?
Focus on only one thing, keep all the rest aside, do not touch it, do not look at it, extract value through experience, apply, and once you master it you can merge the skill with the rest.
Thank you Fire, SaintSovereign

Well, to be exact Iāve been working 13 hours week for about a month, including working on the weekends, until last week since Iāve been on vacation.
But while working on the weekend I also spent the weekends with my family, with my grandma, my mom, my dad, Iāve reconnected a lot, though I also bought my laptop to work with it too.
I feel it is the right thing to do, especially since my grandma likely doesnāt have much time left.
I try to bring them joy and happiness, though I also want to build a life for myself spending quality time with them is also a priority.

Are you doing more prompting work or more under the hood ML engineering stuff?
1 Like
Iām more prompting for now, collaborating with agents to write specifications and using agents to implement those specs, but I have a project that might require going more into the ML side of things:
Currently at work we use COBYLA and custom hand-made math algorithms to automatically build a good ion beam from a mediocre one. But this method can be a bit finicky on the algorithms side, is limited to 4-6 variables touched (depending on the machine/technology used on, one scan the beam X and Y, the other only scan X hence the smaller amount of variables), and may completely fail if the current beam is unformed or in too bad a shape.
Given we have accumulated a good amount of data, I was thinking we could possibly use it to form an ML algorythm that might speed up tuning the beam, or possibly be able to tune it from scratch or even from a terrible shape. When a beam is unformed or in a bad shape, there are multiple clues amongst the sensors that may clue a trained operator on what they should increase, or what they should decrease.
We store all the variables values and setpoints for any implementation done, and an operator has made a good collection of setpoints to form a good beam in a multitude of situations.
I believe either an ML could be trained to predict variable values (based on historical beam and sensor data) and then use them as a basis for our current tune algorithm. I believe itād be the fastest, easiest, and most accurate, although we are limited to the historical data, what we got so far.
or possibly a custom AI tool could analyse the state of the beam and adjust variables based on sensor data until it finds a good beam, itād be slower and less accurate but more adaptable.
Thinking about it, the later one sounds like a bad idea, given the domain weāre working in. ML to set a basis for the autotune algorithm would be best.
of course, currently the data stays on the machine, but itād be good to send the customer implantation data back to a data cloud if we were to do that. concurrent already send implantation data back to their servers for maintenance predictions. I should suggest it to my boss.

That sounds like a good idea to me. Using a model to find the higher dimension relations between variables seems like itād be worth exploring. I donāt have any experience with ion beams but it reminds me of the current genome language models that are starting to see results. Iām curious as to what neural network would work best for it though.

Hey everyone, itās been a while! Iāve been continuing my rythm of Summer + Stabilizer on Monday, Hero + Zone on Wednesdays, and Khan2 on Fridays, things are going well, I got a solid basis and ton of motivation to work and build things.
To the point where I think my next stack will be RICH + CC + Khan3, only these, no name embed used to listen to two titles at once this time. I have golden opportunities in my life, pure gems.
Iām working a lot, doing research (this time, into building and improving JEPAs family models, which I believe to be the next important step into AI models development) and using agents to code and run code analyses at work (so, I only need to brainstorm what functionalities there will be, how, lay out a plan, review it, have the agent build and run tests, and test myself, itās way faster)
I bought a VPN to build a small business as an entrepreneur, but itās too undersizedā¦ Iām supposed to have taxes to pay this month, as well as coproperty fees, so once they lay out how much I gotta pay Iāll see if I got enough left to pay for a year of hosting or if Iāll pay monthly.
I got an open road in front of me.

Things get clearer, I already got a client lined up for when Iāll have the business.
I gotta check with a lawyer if the exclusivity clause of my work contract is legally valid or not (a business must have justification to prevent itās employees from having a second job, and depending on legal statuses and wording it may not even bind my case), in any case even if it is valid can keep an enterprise up to a year without getting fired.
Once thatās done I can register and get going.
I started a washout this week, next week Iāll start with the RICH + Khan3 + C&C stack
