Movies are great though. Even if you set aside the pure artistic enjoyment (you shouldn’t). Movies are stories, and stories are powerful, primal, moving, motivating. They are prompts to you to consider dilemmas and scenarios, to build your world model and compass. My rec is to go to the golden age of story telling and movie making that imo ramped up in the 80s, was roaring in 90s, peaked early 00s, and declined since. One sourcing example: pick a random year there, look up Oscar winners, pick and watch. Enjoy and attend guilt free.
Most of us who know Ayurveda is nonsense, are quasi tolerant/nice about it.
Our own family often uses it. We rationalize it by saying, oh, it's just a toothpaste, or a cough syrup (which in isolation is also reasonable).
But most of us don't know what @theliverdoc knows.
That Ayurveda fucking kills people. By 10s of thousands, if not lakhs. It is dangerous, toxic, pseudoscience. And has no place in modern society.
Here are some practices and specific therapies you must not waste your time and money on in 2025 and beyond:
Ayurvedic detox (panchakarma)
Ayurvedic agnikarma (fire therapy)
Ayurvedic immunisation (swarnaprashana)
IV Rejuvenation vitamin drips/cocktails
Acupuncture
Naturopathy
Homeopathy
Reiki
Crystal healing
Leech detox therapy
Chiropractic
Cupping (dry and wet)
Blood letting
Colon cleanse
Liver cleanse and detox
Coffee enema
Functional Medicine
Integrative Medicine
All the above are physically and financially damaging.
Here you go:
DeepSeek R1 is an AI model. An AI model is a bunch of a matrices with floating point numbers (referred to as weights) where you feed in an input (a sequence of characters embedded as a vector of floating point numbers) and get an output sequence.
DeepSeek is a mobile app (same name as the company) that lets you interact with that AI model through a chat interface. When you use their app, your data (prompts) go to their servers.
The company has also open sourced (basically uploaded all those matrices) the weights of the AI model for free use by anyone.
When you download those weights and bring it up yourself on your own server, you get to control the inference of the AI model and that way any user request sent to this new server doesn’t go to China as long as the servers are hosted in US.
The weights are just a bunch of numbers organized as matrices executed with sequential matrix multiplies - so no computation needs to leave the server in order to compute the next word in a sequence.
That way, another company can download the weights, host it on their servers, and let users interact with them in a chat frontend, and customize the AI model further to do more things like searching the web or using tools like code execution, wolfram, etc
🇺🇸 RAND PAUL: THE PROBLEM WITH GOVERNMENT IS NOBODY PUTS THEIR NAME ON A PART
“When Elon Musk looks at his rockets, somebody's name is attached to every part.
If there's a problem on the rocket, he knows your name.
You're going to be asked, why did you do this?
Why didn't you do that?
In government, it's the opposite.
When we had an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, we interviewed the Secret Service.
No one would say they were in charge.
We could not find one person who didn't say, oh, no, she was in charge, or he was in charge, or I was in charge of this but not that.
That's the problem with government, is nobody really puts their name on a part.
Nobody really holds responsibility for the spending and the debt.
And that has to change.
A lot of things need to change.
We need to start having competitive contracts, what Elon has talked about and Vivek has talked about.
There are a lot of good things that could happen.”

Why do people still believe in this nonsense? How does applying saturated fat in the form of clarified butter inside and outside the nose reduce allergic inflammation which is a type 2 immune disorder classically characterized by high levels of immunoglobulin E?
Yelling poverty porn but have you seen the actual state of the poor in India? Characters in #AWIAL are lower middle class at best. Y'all have no idea how bad it actually is out here. Roof over your head? Eating 2 meals a day? Congrats, crores of ppl are way worse off. Touch grass
