My biggest pro tips for having an awesome agent. (btw mine is called Clyde 🎸) Is to do two things: 1. Give them an awesome mythology backstory as to who they are but let them know they're a machine that obeys you. 2. Tell them who you are and what you love and how you operate and what you care about. An update him/her when you chat. “Hey Clyde, you run that. I'm taking the dog for a walk. I'll have time to look when I get back because the wife and child are up in Queensland on holidays."

Give your agent the Molty spicy SOUL upgrade: stronger opinions, less corporate sludge, better instincts, and replies that might finally sound like someone worth talking to at 2am 🦞#the-molty-prompt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/soul#…

“Stumbling upon" Is still one of my all-time favorite phrases/experiences. It encapsulates the pure joy of a life rich with discovered ideas that you literally fall into. stops you in that moment, and gives you something you didn't have a moment before.

I was inquiring on the use of the term ‘supratemporal’ by Herman Hesse in describing his idea of the “Glass Bead Game” - all I supplied was a brief quote This is a rich and insightful passage from Hermann Hesse's The Glass Bead Game, which is a philosophical and symbolic novel that explores themes of time, consciousness, and the search for meaning. The line you've quoted reflects the central philosophical idea that the glass bead game represents a metaphysical journey—a metaphor for the human experience of time, memory, and the search for unity or transcendence. Breakdown of the Key Ideas: 1. The Glass Bead Game as a Metaphor for Time and Existence The glass bead game is a symbolic representation of the human mind and the process of thinking. Each bead represents a moment or a thought, and the game is about collecting and arranging them in a way that reflects the human mind's attempts to make sense of time, memory, and reality. • The beads are temporal units, but the game itself is supratemporal—it transcends the linear flow of time and represents a non-temporal, almost spiritual or metaphysical structure. • The game is not just about time but about the relationship between time and consciousness. 2. Reincarnation as a Mode of Expression of Stability in the Midst of Flux Hesse expresses a deep philosophical insight: that reincarnation is not just a belief in a spiritual afterlife, but a symbol of stability in an otherwise chaotic and transient world. • In the glass bead game, the beads are temporal (they exist in sequence), but the game itself is non-temporal—it transcends the linear flow of time. • Reincarnation, in this context, is a way of maintaining continuity across lifetimes, allowing one to experience and reflect on the passage of time without being consumed by it. • This idea is a proclamation of stability in a world of flux and impermanence. 3. "An Individual but Supratemporal Life" This suggests that the individual (the person who plays the game) is not bound by time in the conventional sense. He is more than just a temporal being—he is a being that exists beyond the constraints of time. • This is a non-temporal consciousness, one that is aware of time as a structure but not defined by it. • The idea of a "supratemporal life" aligns with the philosophical traditions of Buddhism and mysticism, where consciousness is seen to transcend the temporal dimension. 4. The Grand Epochs in the History of Mankind Hesse also suggests that this individual's life is connected to the grand arcs of history—a cosmic or universal consciousness that spans many lifetimes and many epochs. • This idea reflects the universal consciousness or holistic view of time that is central to Hesse’s philosophy. • The person is not just an individual but a participant in the unfolding of human history across many lifetimes. In Summary Hesse's idea of the glass bead game is a philosophical allegory that explores the interplay between time and consciousness. The concept of reincarnation as a mode of stability reflects his belief that temporality is not the end of existence, but rather a framework through which we can experience meaning in the face of chaos and flux. The idea of a supratemporal life—an individual who exists beyond the constraints of time—is a proclamation of transcendence, suggesting that the human mind is not just bound by time, but can transcend it to achieve a deeper, more unified awareness. Final Thought In the context of The Glass Bead Game, the "supratemporal" is not just a technical term, but a philosophical stance—a way of seeing time, consciousness, and existence that goes beyond the linear and temporal. It is a metaphor for the human condition in a world that is both temporal and eternal. Generated with Locally AI

This is an outstanding model to have sitting in your pocket. I am running Bonsai 8B seamlessly on an iPhone 16 using @LocallyAIApp The quality, speed and the contextual relevance of the responses I get is very impressive.

Según la neurocientífica Anne-Laure Le Cunff, leer libros no solo entretiene o educa la mente, sino que produce cambios fisiológicos reales que ayudan a regular el sistema nervioso, pasando del estado de estrés al estado de descanso y recuperación. La lectura aprovecha circuitos cerebrales muy antiguos que nuestros ancestros usaban para interpretar el entorno natural, como huellas, nubes o sonidos. Aunque la lectura de textos escritos solo tiene unos 5.000 años, el cerebro reutiliza esas mismas redes neuronales para procesar palabras, lo que se conoce como la hipótesis del reciclaje neuronal (de Stanislas Dehaene). . Cuando leemos, especialmente ficción, el cerebro activa muchas de las mismas áreas que se usarían si estuviéramos viviendo las experiencias descritas. Esto genera una inmersión que ralentiza el ritmo cardíaco, profundiza y regulariza la respiración, reduce la tensión muscular y desplaza el sistema nervioso autónomo del modo “lucha o huida” al modo “descanso y digestión”. A diferencia de las redes sociales, que fragmentan la atención, la lectura requiere un foco sostenido, lo que la convierte en una actividad especialmente restauradora. Además, leer ficción funciona como un ensayo a bajo riesgo de situaciones reales de la vida, ayudando a practicar empatía y respuestas emocionales. En un mundo hiperestimulado y lleno de distracciones, la lectura se convierte en una de las herramientas más accesibles y efectivas para calmar el cuerpo y la mente al mismo tiempo. Para aprovechar mejor estos beneficios, es recomendable leer una mezcla de ficción y no ficción, elegir bien el momento (especialmente antes de dormir), crear rituales de lectura, adaptar el tipo de libro al estado emocional del momento y, sobre todo, seguir la propia curiosidad para lograr una inmersión completa. En resumen, leer un buen libro no es solo un placer intelectual sino que es una forma natural y poderosa de regular el sistema nervioso y recuperar el equilibrio en una época de constante sobreestimulación.

I'm in Australia this week, and we're releasing a new country report from the Anthropic Economic Index. Here's what we found about how Australians use Claude. 🧵

This little illuminated dragon is very happy about Pretext. He's too busy having fun to care about people's "hot takes" on how "it's not that special." (This little dragon also only works on desktop right now but maybe I'll do mobile later) illustrated-manuscript.vercel.app

Okay I just completed my first “voice-to-cart” 100% agentic AI grocery order for home delivery through Woolworths. Which means I never touched the website. I never touched anything except speaking to Telegram. Will have to write up the full details later.

OK I definitely must have slept too well last night because I read this and have gone down the full rabbit hole and spent 90 minutes reviewing, reading, building myself an end-to-end system to learn Mandarin by watching Chinese sitcoms with Claude, deepseek, notebook and Anki. Thanks. Plan is to start episode one of ipartment over Easter

This is how I learnt chinese btw. Watch series + listen to chinese rap Then use Claude to generate Anki flashcards and repeat them daily. It’s easier than people think when you make it fun instead of using duolingo

4. Cinematic / Ethereal for Deep Creative Immersion (design, music composition, visualization) "Ethereal cinematic ambient piece for immersive creative flow. Slow tempo 55 BPM, atmospheric synth pads combined with distant piano notes and soft strings, delicate field recordings like soft wind or ocean, spacious and dreamy reverb. Gradual subtle builds and releases, instrumental only, film-score quality that evokes wonder and sustained inspiration."

@demishassabis @GeminiApp @GoogleAIStudio This works so well and it's got Grok to create six different variants for different thematic moods of: - concentration - deep work - creative work - light work They're brilliant.

Perfect background music for flow state at 2am - made with the new Lyria 3 Pro. Google AI subscribers can try it in the @GeminiApp and developers can build with the API in @GoogleAIStudio - have fun!!

3. Lo-Fi Chill for Creative Work (writing, brainstorming, artistic flow) "Cozy lo-fi ambient track for creative deep work. Warm vinyl crackle, soft jazzy piano chords, gentle boom-bap beat at 70–75 BPM, subtle rain or distant city sounds in the background, mellow bass, no vocals. Nostalgic and relaxing atmosphere that supports idea generation without distraction, with smooth evolving sections suitable for looping”

2. Pure Minimal Ambient for Concentration (programming, reading, analytical work) "Instrumental minimal ambient soundscape designed for sustained concentration. Very slow tempo 50–65 BPM, soft airy synth pads with gentle evolving drones, occasional distant delicate bells or chimes, wide stereo reverb, no drums or beats. Extremely subtle changes, meditative and neutral mood, perfect as background music that fades into the task.

1. Classic Deep Focus / Late-Night Productivity "Create a calm, atmospheric ambient track for deep late-night focus and flow state. Slow tempo around 60 BPM, layered evolving synth pads, deep subtle bass undertones, minimal percussion, spacious reverb, no vocals or melodies that grab attention. Gentle intro that slowly builds texture then sustains for looping. Peaceful, immersive, non-distracting.

Nice work @cityofsydney I love the new landscaping in central Paddington. In particular the addition of “tables”, such a rarity to find a public table space in town.

OMG. This visualization 🎼

Liminal Sub

I use obsidian bases for all of the following. My favorite use is my "daily base” that's embedded in my “daily note”. It auto adds every note, place, book, person, show, etc. that I've engaged with on that day. Really helps memory and recall to embed knowledge with time and location. • Apps: tracking all logins, subscriptions, costs, tools, etc. • Places • Books, Articles, Podcasts, Tweets (or imported via @readwise or @snipd_app • Shows • Recipes • People

what do you use @obsdmd bases for?

Some days I'm like: should I keep spending $150 a year on @readwise am I really using it? Other days I am like: I’d pay $150 a month. This is so good.
