I wonder if they are using Jepsen, or would consider it!

Currently not, my guess is that since we're in a very early stage jepsen would find so much errors that simply wouldn't worth.

Definitely we'll test it with jepsen someday but the database must be way more mature.

it was actually very consistent, just following different rules than U are used to, for reasons U aren't familiar with :D

tasshin.com/U explains why i use "U" in my writing!

the OP's YouTube channel is filled with videos made from these techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVp8HfqWX9E&list=PLL81xI9jaV...

I've had countless LSD, DMT, and mushroom trips, as well as a few others, and nothing about that video reminds me about anything "psychedelic", not even close. I guess it's subjective but I have to wonder what was going on the their head when they decided "this looks psychedelic, let's call it psychedelic".

Here's a music video the OP and I made with these techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GOciie5Pjk

More simply: people are increasingly blocking advertisers to hide their advertisements. This would prevent you from shielding yourself from ads.

It's the other way around: with the new change, the blockee will be able to see (but not reply to) the blocker's posts, but the blockee's posts will still be hidden from the blocker.

Really valid use case too. Very very common in recovery to block alcohol or gambling companies to avoid their ads.

Wait, Sandstorm is still alive??? Amazing!

I learned a lot of things there! The training I received was focused on two components, what they called Awakening and Responsibility—Awakening referring to contemplative practices and monastic structures designed to lead to classical enlightenment, and Responsibility was hands-on leadership training through helping their non-profit organization.

Learning about power was indeed one of the most valuable lessons I learned there, specifically on the responsibility side. Basically, I went from not caring about power, and subtly believing I shouldn't have it, to believing that it's worth using the power I have to do good things. Nowadays, I spend most of my time doing service projects, using my power to benefit others. My blog and this post is one of them!

My teacher had definitions of wisdom, love, and power that he shared in his teachings, which I personally found useful, but you're right, there aren't culturally agreed upon definitions of them. I find getting to know people over time gives you a sense of their character, their values, their strengths, and their weaknesses. When I meet someone I deem to be wise and loving, I want to help them, give them resources, connect them to people, and find other ways to support them.

Just a few thoughts!

This piece is written by two people, the second sentence was written by my co-author, Brian!

I know. Re-reading my last comment, I'm afraid Brian paid the piper for many "I did X for 1 week and now I'm an expert" posts that appear on HN. A bit unfair to Brian for sure. I would hate it if Brian stops writing because of my comment.

See how messed up the internet is? I'd like to read on the same topic after five years or so.

yes, especially reply game! it's a general skill that's useful everywhere socially, including in person

I wrote that post, the post you linked is the second part of a two-part series. The first part is here: https://praxis.fortelabs.co/building-a-second-brain-in-emacs...
