How to Find Yourself When You Are Lost

There come days when you might not understand what you are doing with your life. I want to share with you that when creating a startup, this feeling surfaces quite frequently. Today, I am experiencing one of those days, and I have decided to jot down my thoughts about it. More importantly, I want to describe how I bring myself back, take action, and strive to achieve greatness once again. As is my routine, I like to wake up as early as possible. I aim for 7 hours of sleep, so having gone to bed at 10:30 pm, I woke up at 5:30 am. After waking up and taking a shower, I realized that today is one of those days when I lack the passion to create something extraordinary. Nevertheless, I decided to start coding for the new PrimeFinder dashboard. By 11:00 am, I was done. I then decided to grab some coffee and take a walk to ponder the reason behind my lack of enthusiasm. Usually, a loss of hope or passion for a project occurs when I conceive a new idea that seems more lucrative and easier to i...

How large language models work

In the vast world of technology, large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have created quite a stir with their ability to understand and generate human-like text. But what exactly are these models, and how do they work? Let's break it down into simple terms. What are Large Language Models? Imagine a librarian who has read every book in the world and can recall any information from them instantly. Large language models are somewhat similar. They are computer programs designed to understand, predict, and generate language based on the data they've been trained on. They are called 'large' because they are trained on massive amounts of text data. How Do They Learn? 1. Training on Lots of Data : LLMs learn language by analyzing vast amounts of text data. This data can include books, articles, websites – essentially, any text you can think of. 2. Understanding Patterns : As they go through the data, these models look for patterns in the way words are used and structured in s...

What is the Point of Life?

The question, "What is the point of life?" has been a perennial pursuit in the minds of philosophers, theologians, and thinkers throughout history. Many assert that this profound question is unanswerable, a mystery too deep for human comprehension. However, I beg to differ. I believe that not only does this question have an answer, but the answer has been subtly evident all around us—in nature, in space, and perhaps in the grand design of a higher power, if one exists. The essence of life, as I perceive it, is not a multifaceted riddle but a singular truth, often overlooked or dismissed due to its simplicity. It's an answer we see reflected in the cosmos, in the wild, and within ourselves, yet often choose to ignore. The singular point of life, I propose, is this: to improve one aspect of your fellow beings. Yes, that's it. Our purpose is to solve problems, to aid in the expansion and advancement of our kind, to contribute positively to the collective existence of our...

The Cow Cycle: A Lesson in Living Beyond the Ordinary

A Memorable Lesson from Math Class It all started one ordinary day at school. Our math teacher, known for his wealth and unconventional teaching methods, decided to deviate from the usual algebra and geometry. He stood before us, his gaze sweeping across the room of eager students, and announced, "Today, we won't be studying math. Instead, I want to teach you about something called the 'Cow Cycle'." The room fell into a hush, curiosity piqued. The Cow Cycle? None of us had heard of such a concept in our textbooks. Understanding the Cow Cycle Our teacher began to explain, "Probably 90% of you will be part of this cycle without even knowing it, but what I hope is that at least one of you can escape it." He described the life of a cow in simple terms: Cows are born, they grow, some produce milk, they reproduce, and eventually, they either pass away naturally or meet an early end. Their lives, he pointed out, were an endless loop of eating, reproducing, and ...

Breaking Free from the Scroll: A Guide to Reducing Social Media Use

  Introduction: In today's digital age, social media can be a double-edged sword. While it keeps us connected and informed, it's also a vortex that can consume our time, diminish our productivity, and sometimes even detract from truly experiencing life.
