Would be handy if you could define a search term for the jobs you want in your inbox

Have you tried tea instead? Its effect is markedly different from coffee. THere should be no anxiety, but still contain that cognitive benefit.

After some thought, I will give tea some fresh consideration. Mostly due to age wiping out my resistance to bad-choice consequences.

Would recommend green tea in particular. I love the Japanese teas.

I don't drink coffee. I use a drink mix. The anxiety is probably history derived. I'm rolling with it.

Would you mind posting the list of superb games?

Sure: https://gist.github.com/arp242/3800893c531d185abfd06f82ed0c3...

Going over things, the dividing line between "good" and "superb" is somewhat arbitrary, so I included both, because well, why not? I did it like that to mimic the commonly used "5 star" rating, but maybe it should just be three: "bad", "okay", "good". Dunno.

Also note that I haven't played many games. I'm just now getting around to The Witcher 3, which is over ten years old. So...

"-" starts a new entry, followed by one or more titles, followed by "tag: value", followed by whatever I wanted to write (if anything) as Markdown. It lists "superb" first, alphabetically, then "good".

SEEKING WORK | Remote (Germany) | Senior Python Developer

Hi, I'm Jonathan Sundqvist - a freelance full-stack developer with 10+ years building robust web applications.

Current availability: 2 days/week (or shorter focused engagements)

Location: Southern Germany, working remotely for years

Rate: €95/hour

What I bring to your team:* I'm the developer you call when performance matters and code quality can't be compromised. I've helped international startups and large organizations like Fidelity Investments solve their toughest technical challenges.

Recent impact:

- Built Votimetro.app in just 40 hours during a crucial time - got 70,000 visitors soon after.

- Transformed sluggish APIs at Recorded Future: response times went from seconds to milliseconds

- Saved developer time at Surfgreen: cut their test suite from 1 hour down to 3 minutes

- Architected systems handling massive data throughput (gigabytes streaming every 5 minutes)

My approach: I take a unified view of backend and frontend development, leading to simpler architecture and fewer headaches. I prefer web standards over heavy frameworks.

Technologies: Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), PostgreSQL, JavaScript, modern web components

I'm also mostly vegetarian, meaning about five times a year or so I like to eat salmon sushi.

How would you prompt it, or what directions would you ask it to follow?

"I'm still processing this issue. Ask me some follow up questions to help me think more about this"

"Reflect back what you heard me say, in your own words."

"Use an IFS based approach to guide me through this"

"I want to sit in this emotion to process it. Stop trying to affirm me. Help me stay in what I'm feeling."

... Stuff like that.

Even if alignment is solved, it'd be only aligned with its masters which isn't really solving alignment imho.

Truly solving alignment would mean alignment for entirety of humanity.

It's not surprising that we are in this situation. A corporation already was like an AI in some regards, using employees as tools to advance its objectives. So this just seems like an extension of that.

It seems like you're thinking of acacia confusa but that bush is growing in south east Asia and not close to where the bible played out.

it was an internet rabbit hole and indeed it could be defused with some regional botany. there's some discussion about DMT content in other acacia species(?) and how it shows up in symbology.

i have the sense that one could construct a whole "ancient aliens" style ideology and paranormal theory of history around hallucinogens, but it would just be entertaining junk.

I'm sorry that happened. I'm curious what was it that made you suicidal?

How did you come out it after those 4 years?

There seems to be quite the story around this one sentence and a very rough time. Though I think there are perhaps some learnings for other people as well if you're willing to share.

Childhood trauma that I didn’t know was affecting me. I thought I hard perfect set and setting

Lots of intense therapy, I still go 3 times a week

I had no suicidal feeling before the drug. I suppose one way to put it is that seeing into the void made me take suicide seriously as an option
