a lot of the time I felt like whatever arbitrary magical soul like stuff people can come up with actually sounds like nothing compared to how absurdly complex and chaotic and sort of "alive" the "mere" material reality seems to be, which makes appear like the more deep metaphysical stuff people involve into their explanations, the more reductionist they are

strictly speaking, iirc when it comes to neural networks, dogfooding is not bad because the previous results are bad quality, but inherently bad for some fundamental learning algorithm math reasons, it's kinda like trying to adjust your arguments to fit the predefined conclusion instead of properly reaching it. Although my understanding of this is pretty vague

even Zen? It seemed fine but I ended up using firefox with experimental vertical tabs. Recently one time I wanted a "workspace" I separated a bunch of tabs into a new window (can select multiple tabs at once btw) and then joined it with the first window in a group using the window manager tabs thing
