GLM 5.2 dynamic 1-bit GGUF one shot Flappy Bird... with 0 syntax errors whilst being 86% smaller! I was very surprised since normally 1-bit quants get syntax errors & you have to say "Fix bugs". UD 1-bit retained 76.2% top-1% accuracy whilst being 86% smaller vs BF16!show more

Prime reason why you shouldn’t play star players in... a pre season game. 7-8 pre season games is beyond dumb. Playing guys for what? To have minor league guys run around looking to make an impression? If I was a GM I’d let my core of 5-8 players maybe play 2 exhibitions. I’d sacrifice them being a bit rusty games 1-3 in the regular season vs risking serious injury from some dipshit running around like a chicken with his chin cut off. And I’m not faulting those guys either (the guys trying to make the team) they have a job to do too. Jobs are won within these games. But Makar takes one up high last night, Cooley gets stapled. Both don’t return. Asset protection folks that’s business 101. I can help teach some of these GM’s if needed. - People’sshow more

🧵 1 / Big turn out for the ‘trans+’... mass lobby day today; hundreds of men and women showed up to argue AGAINST single-sex spaces and services The queue stretched beyond the Victoria tower at one point I got interviewed by The Guardian about why I support the Supreme Court ruling and the EHRC guidance - no idea if they’ll use it, but I heard the journalist ask a ‘trans’ person (woman on T with a beard) about ‘gender critical’ people so when they were finished I said “I’m one of those… can I give you an alternative point of views?” She seemed a bit hesitant but agreed, and didn’t seem that interested but I gave it my best shot, you never know! Also talked about how homosexuality is being reframed to include those of the opposite sex and how deeply homophobic that isshow more

🇨🇳 Many people don't know this but Chinese high... speed trains are now the fastest in the word and officially faster than even the 🇯🇵 Japanese Shinkansen Chinese trains go 350-400km/h (217-250mph) depending on the model While the Japanese Shinkansen goes 320km/h (200mph) max So I went to try it from Chengdu to Chongqing (just $80 for biz class) This one is the slightly older 350km/h model The business class cabin has 5 big seats that can lay flat with a stewardess dedicated to the cabin who serves you drinks like coffee, water, orange juice etc. I guess if it's a longer trip you probably get food served too The journey was very smooth and very fast, it maintained close to 350km/h at all times and there wasn't many stops or breaks (good) It didn't have WiFi, which is kind of a miss but it seems Chinese just use 5G for everything which worked fine for me without interrruption too I'd say the interior could be a bit more beautiful and modern. I usually say things in Japan look ancient but I think the Shinkansen interior there looks a bit more modern than here The trip took 1 hour and it passed about 300km in that time, roughly equivalent to the width of my country the Netherlands 😂 Anyway solid experience (and cheap!) 👍show more

WINDOWS // NYC is an interwoven city that we... will all build out together. There are three collections that all interconnect, windows, buildings, and the city itself. Here is exactly how this will unfold with Transient Labs on Tuesday, June 16th. 🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢 BUILDINGS are generative grids of windows, assembled through an onchain seed derived from Ethereum block data and each work’s token ID, creating distinct sizes and layouts. My collectors, friends and family, and limited partner communities can mint these BUILDINGS before public at 0.015Ξ This presale window is FCFS will last two hours (12 NOON EST to 2 PM EST) All remaining supply will go to public at 0.018Ξ after the presale ends. Supply is 1/1/4000 total buildings, each grid is completely unique, and some have very special qualities :) 🪟🪟🪟🪟🪟 Individual windows are 1/1/1000, and each mint is one single window. This is gated at first to my existing collectors, max mint 50 windows per wallet. Priced at 0.03Ξ, blind mint with instant reveal- this section is packed with gems- cats, plants, neon signs, and a bit of New York City embedded in every frame. Its these single windows that are the foundational layer of this project, since all grids are comprised of these windows. All my existing collectors get these multipliers on mint day, final snapshot is MONDAY the 15th at high noon, EST. For example: Drips // 2x DRIVE Lap 1 // 3x DRIVE Lap 2 // 2x 1/1 // 5x Editions // 1x GRAILS from DRIVE and DRIP DROP have an additional allocation on top. To ask about specific collections of mine, drop a comment here. 🌃🌃🌃🌃🌃 Additionally, the major work of this collection is the CITY, a 1/1 interconnected dynamic galaxy of light composed of all the layers below. This also comes with a large, museum quality physical lightbox of all 1,000 windows illuminated from within. This work will be placed by private sale. The CITY contract will also hold 20 NEIGHBORHOODS, our second largest arrangements of WINDOWS, and can be customized in collaboration with the artist or accepted as random grids. NEIGHBORHOODS will have 15 tokens at 1Ξ for private sale, with 5 held back for top holders of BUILDINGS. I am so excited to build this city with all of you. I've never worked so hard on anything in my life, and I am so grateful to all of you for the support so far. Let's do this thing!!!!show more

Again, I could be coping and this is just... my speculation. #EscapefromTarkov BSG has posted downtime for 3 hours a bit ago. Whereas this seems like a reasonable maintenance, I think it could be 'Actual' Kolotun event. Nikita loves saying 'we love to give you surprises' and i think we are getting one soon. Speculation point #1. We have not yet unlock the New achievement. (image 1 - makes me think we might get super blizzard, etc.) Speculation point #2. There's cultist on top of the church of the poster for the kolotun event, indicating we still need to go to church & meet cultist (image 2, could be red herring tho) Speculation point #3 As i said earlier, nikita wants surprises. In order to do that, they dropped not too much entertaining event quests as of now, To maximize further incoming BIG EVENT. They've done this before. Speculation point #4 the videos nikita keeps posting could be anything, but most of visual videos he done was related to actual game or in-game event. He has been posting quite frequently. (clip 1 & 2) Hope this is BIG FUN EVENT! 🫡show more

Code Interpreter in ChatGPT is incredible! Took me 5... mins to make this game. You can make your own game assets with any AI generator and then ask GPT-4 with Code Interpreter to write code. If you have any problems you can ask it to fix the errors. 1. Write this prompt: "write p5.js code for Asteroids where you control a spaceship with the mouse and shoot asteroids with the left click of the mouse. If your spaceship collides with an asteroid, you lose. If you shoot down all asteroids, you win! I want to use my own textures for the spaceship and for asteroids." 2. Go to Openprocessing website create and save sketch (you'll need to save it before uploading any texture files). Copy paste code from GPT-4 3. Generate texture files and remove backgrounds, for example in Clip Drop 4. Replace names of files with your filenames 5. Run the program 6. If something doesn't work ask GPT-4 to fix it (you can copy an error and paste in GPT-4) like you would ask a human programmer 7. To learn a bit of programming write these prompts to GPT-4: "Act as my programming teacher. Tell me an algorithm of Asteroids game in detail and make names of functions and explain what each of these functions will do. Don't write the code just yet." and then " Can you describe the algorithm overall for a 10-year-old child"show more

I went from ZERO($0) to 5 figures in less... than 5 months The year 2024 was a defining year for me and a lot of my friends. This story is one I should have told since but was waiting for the right time It all began in August after losing a cumulative of $20,000. That was literally all I had left with me and was down to less than $300. They say it all begins when you are down to your last 1 million and funny how I didn't even have up to a million Over the course of several days I began asking myself questions as to what I would have done with the money. I could have given my parent their dream house or gotten a car for myself, my mum and started my Agric business. Well, that was how Anxiety started with heavy palpitations and a pulse of 130 Not to bore you, allow me explain step by step as to how I bounced back 1) God - I wont lie to you, God and Prayers are very important in this WEB3. We have very few Normal people on here as this space is toxic enough to destroy you and your mental health 2) Network - See, I know all your idolos are telling you to grind hard which is factually correct but the real profits in this life are from who you know. Check SAYRAAH #WID 📈📉📊 content on networking for more information 2) Excellence - One little lesson I've learned from life is that excellence in itself is not restricted to a particular sphere but its a way of life. I strongly believe the reason all my clients refer me like their lives depend on it is because I handle my job with a unique style of excellence. Starting from my personal page to my clients jobs and even mannerisms 3) Hard work - This aspect has been misused so much. Hard work although very vital must be accompanied with a lot of smart work for you to have results. Scripture shows us that there is a possibility for two people to engage in similar work while they get different result. The one with the smaller result was termed a FOOLISH MAN and the one with better results was called a WISE MAN. The difference is in the knowing, you need to learn how to actually work hard 4) Voice out - Make sure you always voice out when you are not doing as much as you are supposed to. I have a lot of my guys that I tell intricate stuffs about my money-making journey and everyone puts heads together to ensure we all make money I might sound like aspire to perspire but the reality is, bouncing back is difficult but I want you to know that your hard work will eventually pay off I could have just said GOD DID but I know there's someone out there that might need this. Don't stop and don't settle, your future will thank you for it Over the next few days, I would be sharing some opportunities I recently found that I'm sure will print you money. Stay gluedshow more

Transparency post: (will delete) This is a video of... me giving up in real time. I’ve been having a rough few days. Despite it being my highest income month from UGC & despite the opportunities I’ve been getting, I’ve been feeling really discouraged. After crying on and off all day, I wanted to tough it out and get a project done. I felt that my energy was off but kept filming until I started stumbling on some words and couldn’t take it anymore. All this to say. UGC is NOT easy no matter what anyone tells you. It’s a 1 man business and you’re responsible for every last bit of your successes or failures. On top of it all, you still have to keep up with your personal life and responsibilities. So the pressure is intense and it’s inevitable. I’m not posting this because I have an inspirational message to share, but I’m posting this to show new creators that despite often seeing success stories, there is often a lot of pain and struggle behind those stories. So be prepared, make your mental health a priority along your journey. And whatever you do, don’t lose yourself in this field. #ugccommunityshow more

Day 23 - well that hurt a lot The... hike from BC to camp 1 - what a monumental day - one of the hardest sessions in my life We awoke at midnight, had ‘brekkie’ at 12.30am, and we were pretty much gone by 1.30am The icefall is like a big Jungle Jim set, with constant overhanging danger - for the most part it is quite good fun, but there are not many places that you can stop safely to rest. I was so busy that I did not get the camera out once, despite the fact that some of the photo opportunities were incredible When you get to the top of the icefall, there are a number of sheer walls that need to be jumar’ed up and this is where the first sense of false security set in - all of us thought that we were nearing the end of the day and that the tents of camp 1 were not too far off. Big bloody mistake - whilst the terrain looks gently undulating, it is cleaved by whopping big crevasses and gullies, which inevitably means you have to go down to come back up. Some of the ice walls we had to climb were at least 10m and there were multiples of them The video below show just how tired we were as we crawled into camp 1 (9:30mins later, 850m altitude gained).

llama.cpp isn't just for text LLMs anymore. Pure C++... zero shot voice cloning just officially landed in mainline. Text generation was only step one. If you’re building autonomous local AI agents, real time voice assistants, or edge workflows, instant low latency audio is the missing piece. Thanks to PR #26254, Alibaba’s state of the art Qwen3 TTS model family is now natively supported directly inside the llama.cpp repository under the multimodal (mtmd) framework. No Python bloat. No massive PyTorch CUDA overhead. Just raw, hyper optimized C++ running GGUF voice weights. Here is why this native update is a massive deal for the open source local AI stack: # Multimodal Architecture (.gguf + mmproj) Qwen3-TTS splits the workload between the base language model backbone and a multimodal projection adapter. llama.cpp handles this using the llama-tts binary, mapping the text model alongside its --mmproj projector to process audio tokens seamlessly. # Zero Shot Voice Cloning in Seconds You don't need fine tuning or massive dataset training. Feed the C++ engine a single 5 to 10 second .wav audio sample using the --tts-speaker-file flag, and it accurately clones the exact timbre, tone, and accent on the fly. # Real World T4 GPU Benchmark & Resource FootprintRunning the 1.7B Base model in 8-bit quantization (Q8_0): - VRAM Footprint: ~7 GB peak VRAM during active zero-shot cloning. - Audio Quality: Studio grade, natural-sounding voice output in seconds. • - Execution: Direct execution via native compiled binaries or sub process calls. # Coming Next to llama-server (PR #26603) Beyond CLI execution, a native POST /tts HTTP endpoint is currently being added to llama-server, which will soon allow you to trigger voice generation directly via standard REST API requests! # quick note on Colab compilation: Because this code was merged into mainline very recently, pre-built third-party binaries haven't fully caught up yet. Compiling llama-tts directly from source on Google Colab's free CPU instance can take about 1 hour (or ~1-2 minutes if targeting single GPU arch like -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=75). Be patient during the build step, or compile it locally on your own rig for instant execution! To test this out yourself, I built a zero config Google Colab notebook that compiles llama.cpp, downloads the Q8_0 GGUF files from HuggingFace, and spins up an interactive Gradio Studio UI so you can record/upload 3 second clips and clone voices in real time. Stop sleeping on native C++ audio. The era of bulky Python audio pipelines is officially over. Links to the free Google Colab notebook and the official ggml org GGUF HuggingFace model repository are in the replies below! available in q4 and q8 both variants, 1 GB and 1.85 GBs respectively (requires additional ~500MB mmproj gguf) Are you building local voice agents yet? What does your current audio stack look like? Drop your setups below!show more

Late Night @NotebookLM release notes from a busy week!... 1. Slide Decks 🎉 - the freedom it gives you to turn anything into a story is incredible. Probably the first Nano Banana Pro fully dependent product. People are exploring fonts, styles, tips & tricks, but most of all stoke. so cool to see! 2. Infographics 🎉- capture the true essence of your sources in a creative but informative single image. You can use the Custom prompt to also make amazing Worksheets to accompany a lesson! Tobi talked about it. Maybe we should make question and answer sheets a clear option 3. Custom Style prompting for Visual Overviews - direct access to the model... 4. Thinking UX! this one was a while coming but we're gonna roll out a mvp and get moving (hoho). More informative soon. 5. Longer custom personas. You can now go up to 5k chars instead of the previous measly 500.... If you need more, LMK. 6. a bit "bold", but the "create notebook +" button at the top of every notebook. We'll probably collapse this into a smaller affordance, but wanted to get a quick workflow enhancer in there for people that don't know how to get to the homescreen. We'll do more on workflows. 7. Shout out to the TPUs which are definitely melting, and thank you all for the enthusiasm this week! More soon!show more

💔💔💔💔💔 USED ABUSED AND THROWN ON THE STREETS !!!!... Reading the above you would think im talking about the Balkans ..... NO WE'RE ABOUT RIGHT HERE IN THE UK 😡😡😡😡 5 ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED RETRIEVERS DUMPED 1 BY 1 FROM A CAR ABUSED , MALNOURISHED, MATTED AND COMPLETELY BROKEN. JUST IMAGINE THAT FOR 1 MINUTE 💔💔💔 Luckily, these beautiful dogs were spotted by absolute angels, and an amazing group of people came together and made these boys safe. Of course, dog wardens were called, and the answer was SORRY WE HAVE NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO AND THEY WILL BE PTS 💔💔 Thankfully, one of the angels had a farm and was able to give them shelter and care for the last week whilst desperately looking for someone to help them. One of our Facebook members contacted Louise and told her their plight and of course, straight away she said yes. WE HAVE TO HELP🙏🙏 So now to the dogs and how they are, they are not good, its absolutely heartbreaking 💔 5 boy golden retrievers likely have been used for breeding/puppy farming 😡. All varying ages, 1 very old boy. 1 has a neck injury we think from being tied up, he is also severely matted. 4 are terrified , 1 petrified. We have an old boy who is ok . WHAT WE NEED .... Louise has arranged for them to be transported to our kennels this weekend so firstly they can decompress and secondly we can get them all vet checked. They are all underweight un-neutered and some may be in pain 💔. NOW THIS IS THE UK SO WE ARE TALKING THOUSANDS HERE TO NOT HUNDREDS IN VET BILLS . The plan is that once we get them sorted medically we then can place them in fosters. The older boy is an absolute star and I believe can go into foster after his vet check. WE NEED ABSOLUTELY EVERY FOLLOWER TO HELP US TO HELP THEM. THEY HAVE NO VOICE AND WE MUST BE THEIRS 💔🐾 IF YOU CAN'T DONATE.. PLEASE SHARE EVERYWHERE I WILL BE UPDATING THEIR JOURNEY AGAIN ONCE THEY REACH KENNELS BUT I'M GOING TO BE VERY HONEST, UNLESS WE RAISE FUNDS TO AT LEAST COVER THEIR VET & KENNEL FEES WE SIMPLY CANT DO ANYMORE. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SAY THIS BUT WE ARE A SMALL RESCUE RELYING 100% ON YOU!

seeing how hyoyeon did the challenge with arno really... made her words hit deeper... while she might not be directly referring to arno but... she is really so kind 🥺🥺🥺 💗how should i say this but initially when i debuted i felt that i was one of the members didn't get a lot of opportunities as we had quite a lot of members 💗when i look at the rookies now, there is always a visual centre or someone that is always filming dance challenges, feels like (the company) keeps only pushing 1 member but by their side there are members who has the "i can also do it" expression. while they might be giving good reactions like "wahh" but you can feel the ambition in their eyes, so i feel kind of sorry for them as i was like that too 👤i get it, it's not like they are faking their congratulations but it just feels a bit empty, their eyes feels empty... i can understand as i am also aware of these feelings 💗so they tend to catch my eyes more and i tend to ask them for their names as i have been through that before...show more

⚠️ Heading into the Hotline event with tempered expectations.... We’re guaranteed some new Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater info—though what that actually means is anyone’s guess at this point with the launch closely approaching. The stuff I mentioned in my earlier post was just my own speculation (and a bit of wishful thinking). Let’s see what happens! 🤔🧐🤩 ❗️ Here are the top items I’d like to see addressed: ❗️ 1⃣ Current Roadmap for MGS:MC Vol. 1: What is the current state/roadmap for Volume 1? Should we expect more updates at the current sporadic rate, or has development wrapped up? 2⃣ Clarification on MGSΔ:SE additional content: Can we get clarification on the additional modes for MGS3R? Is there a real possibility of MGO (Metal Gear Online) being added for MGS3R, or was that just a tease for a similar type of game mode? 3⃣ MGS:MC Vol. 2 Information: Any news or updates about Volume 2 would be appreciated. 4⃣ Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater Launch Details: What are the launch details for Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, and what are the plans for post-launch support? What would you like to see❓ Let us know in the comments.show more

My entire Polymarket strategy right now is Ctrl+C on... a wallet making $20K a month and Ctrl+V on my account. Yeah. I know how that sounds. 6 months ago I would have closed the chat on anyone who said this. Probably blocked them too. But here is where I am: last month, +$2,700. Trading decisions I made: 0. For context, my best month of manual trading was $580. And that took 3-4 hours a day. Let me back up. For 6 months I was a "real trader." Charts on 2 monitors. 3 Discord alpha groups. NOAA weather data at 2 AM because someone said temperature markets were free money. Spreadsheets tracking 40 wallets. Every thread read. An opinion on every market. Average month: somewhere between $400 and "I would rather not say." I was very busy. Just not very profitable. Then something clicked. Not an insight about markets. An insight about me. The wallets I was tracking, the ones pulling $15K-$30K a month, had data pipelines, sub-second execution, and models I could not replicate in a year of trying. I was not competing with other retail traders. I was competing with infrastructure. You do not outrun a car. You get in the car. So I stopped. Stopped picking markets. Stopped reading forecasts. Stopped setting 3 AM alarms for data drops. Found 3 wallets with 90+ day track records and consistent returns. Not the flashy ones posting $3M screenshots on Twitter. The boring ones pulling 4-6% weekly on liquid markets. Connected automatic copying. 1 evening. Maybe 15 minutes of actual setup. That was 5 weeks ago. 1st week I checked the dashboard every 2 hours. Old habits. 2nd week, once a day. Now I check maybe every 5 or 6 days. Trades execute on their own. I do not choose markets. I do not analyze odds. I do not decide position sizes. 5 weeks in: +$3,100 total. Same capital that would have made me $300-400 doing it manually. Same money. Different operator. Or rather, no operator. I did not make a single trading decision. That was the whole point. The logic is short: top wallets have speed, data, and execution you and I will never have. You can not beat them. But you can stand next to them and do exactly what they do, at roughly the same time, in the same markets. The tool I use: PMX 1 evening. 15 minutes. 0 decisions since: 6 months of charts taught me less than 1 evening of copying. Turns out the smartest move in trading is not trading at all.show more

From International Space Station, we have a unique vantage... point to observe lightning storms from directly above them. Much like from the ground, they appear as rapid, intense flashes that are over as quickly as they started. But, with the help of handheld cameras and a bit of practice (and, admittedly, some luck), we can capture these intense flashes with a very high frame rate then slow them down to see how the lightning propagates. It's lightning, in slow motion. This is one that occurred over Indonesia on 6/28. I shot it for a half second at 1/120 frame rate, so, 60 separate frames. I then compiled those frames into two videos: the first, in real-time, and the second, slowed down so that each frame is a half second to highlight the progression of the flash. Note the incredible burst of light in one frame, which includes what is likely a TLE on the upper left. A TLE, or Transient Luminous Event, is an electrical discharge that happens in the upper atmosphere above lightning storms (if you haven’t seen Ferry Farhan TLE photo from last week, head over to her page). As their name implies, these are transient, or short lived, phenomena – it appeared in only one frame of the sequence, lasting for no more than 1/120th of a second. The last photo is that single frame. Absolutely incredible.show more

1:05:11 I finished 1st 🥇 on my age group... and 5th in the male category. I failed my ambitious goal of sub-60 but I was very happy with my race. And I have a nice goal to chase for the next few months. All the staff at the Hyrox venue knew us! I even talked to the manager of Hyrox Turkey/Dubai/Greece. His name his Mustafa and he let my wife inside the athlete zone to shot videos for our YouTube channel. It’s my first Hyrox and the energy is insane. Everybody is fit, sexy and topless. There’s a DJ and MC so it feels like a gym-club in Bali. No surprise this sport is growing so much! This little experiment is engraved in my head. The last 2 weeks have been surreal. Getting paid $112,000 to race, receiving a fancy car at my hotel lobby, getting recognized by a lot of people, my first race… so many things to process! I want to thank my sponsors who made this possible: - by Higgsfield AI 🧩 (10 spots!) - by Kelvin Cobanaj - by Kimi - by OrcaRouter 🐳 - by Peptide Confidential - by John Hu (🍑) I want to thank my wife for always trusting in me and pushing me to try whatever crosses my mind. I want to thank all of you who supported the idea, online and offline. And I want to thank me for believing in myself. I was lost for so long. I felt misunderstood by people thinking I was weird for trying all kind of experiments. In the end I just want to have fun, and I’m incredibly grateful that my hard work has finally compounded and now I can play and get paid for it. Ok I’m a bit emotional now, and I’m getting late for my second race of the day with my wife. This one is just for fun. Woohoo!show more

8 things I'm doing to capture the "magic window"... of my kid's childhood. For a bit of context: I'm 42 with 4 kids, ages 11 to 2, and run my own content + services business for creators. 1. I work from home Even though I own my business, I used to have an office too. I miss it sometimes (ok at least once a week), but being closer to the kids is a bigger benefit. I get to take breaks to hit golf balls at the park, fish, and play. 2. My wife stays at home Prolly worth a whole post, but this was a shared decision that was led by my wife. We wanted to have one of us available for the kids as much as they needed. She's a nurse, which definitely comes in handy 🤕 Also means she can start work again when she wants. 3. We homeschool I was homeschooled until 9th grade, so this wasn't a hard sell for me. My wife leads the charge here, but I help the older boys with math and other topics. One cool part is they have a desk in my office room too, so we can "cowork" together. 4. I coach their teams If my kid is playing a sport, I'll be coaching. We get to be physical with each other, learn teamwork, he gets to be coached by other dads and see my coach other kids. I also started leading jiu-jitsu classes in the neighborhood for kids and my 11 yr old helps me teach. 5. We exercise together I stopped going to CrossFit a couple years ago and built a simple garage gym so my kids could work out with me. Bodyweight exercises and GORUCK sandbags are the majority of our shared movements, but they also get to see their Dad being active and practicing good habits. 6. We're active in Church Another one that deserves an entire post, but similar to coaching their teams, our kids get to be around like-minded families, mentored by adults who care about them, and build a shared faith that binds us together. We also read the Bible and pray together each day. 7. I create content May not have expected this one, but when I started my YouTube channel a primary motivator was for my kids to be able to watch the videos when they got older. To see what Dad was thinking about, how I solved problems, set goals, etc. In many ways my content is a snapshot of our lives that has value beyond audience or monetization. 8. Leveraging AI AI has made me a lot more productive—I'd say 2-3x what I was capable of just a year ago. But a few months ago I realized I was just putting those "saved" hours right back into more work. If I was twice as productive, why wasn't I working half as many hours? I'm not quite working part-time, but I have cut back and used my new efficiencies for more time with the family instead of working at the same pace. ---- If you're reading this partly because this post is blowing up— hope it gives a little more context to how I'm structuring my life and work to be as intentional as I can with my family while being the provider they need too. It's a constant balancing act, more like walking a tightrope than balancing the scales of family and work. But I'm incredibly blessed to have such a great family and good work to do with cool people. Thanks for reading!show more
