Where does the product description sit in your project so the ai can reference it? Is it like a summary form that describes what the project basically should do or be used for, asking for a friend
For take #1 I said what tech to use and a high level description of the game and it's features. I guess I failed to mention this part, but when I threw take #1 away, I first used Claude + hand editing to update it to have a detailed description of each screen and feature in the game. So take #2 had a much more detailed description of exactly what was going to be built, but still, right in CLAUDE.md
I did also create a DEVELOPMENT-PLAN.md first with Claude and have been having it update it with what's been done before every commit. I don't know yet have a good idea of how impactful that part has been.
I got stuck in that rabbit hole you mention. Ended up ditching AI and just picked up a no/low-code web app builder cause I don’t handle large project contexts in my own head well enough to chunk design into tasks that AI can handle. But the builder I use can separate the backend from the front end which allows for a custom front end template source code to be consumed by an ai agent if you want. I’m hoping I can manage this context better but I still have to design and deploy a module to consume user submitted photos and process with an ai model for instant quote generation
I've had these pernicious pseudo voices off an on since I did something stupid as a lonely teenager: tulpas or tulpaforcing. Basically an imaginary friend that you try to hypnotize yourself into believing it really exists.
Once I got really busy in my late teens and early twenties it became just a chapter in a shitty past life but in times of stress or use of drugs like weed it comes back. Crazy how impressioned the practice became.
Lately the stress and boredom of being unemployed had morphed it into having old traumatic relationship experiences becoming that pseudo voice. Like my own mother abandoning and rebuking me. Quite luckily I found out that cimetidine helps a lot.
That's the thing, it really isn't that different. It's just that the practice involves learning to split off your internal monologue until it's done unconsciously. In a way you are literally giving yourself schizophrenia. 4chan didn't get me to put magnets on hard drives but they did get me to do it to my brain.
I hadn't heard of this, but it sounds like it comes from the Theosophist's misunderstanding of an emanation body (nirmanakaya) in Vajrayana Buddhism. There's a reason why many of the practices in Vajrayana are taught progressively and under guidance, and that's mainly because confusion and misunderstanding can arise when not grounded in proper view (samyagdrishti), which can have a very real and direct impact on a person's mind. But from what I can tell this western practice is completely divergent from anything found in the kangyur or tengyur.
Have you considered talking to a Vajrayana teacher to help understand what's going on? Tergar has an ongoing teaching this year on Buddhist psychology [1]. Also, a teacher I practice with posts most of our sessions online for free as well [2].
If I'm not really with strong determination for cultivating a Vajrayana practice, do you think I can still benefit much? It's just these "introjects" that bother me or maybe what you called it.
I think it'd be perfectly fine to engage with a Vajrayana teacher to see if it helps with what you're experiencing, there's no requirement to be initiated into a lineage and take practice vows or anything like that.
The only reason I mentioned a Vajrayana teacher rather than a western psychologist or even a teacher from other Buddhist schools is that these advanced visualization practices are something most Vajrayana teachers will have experience guiding students through. Which also means they'll be well versed in what to do when things go wrong.
I googled it and there seems to be an entire community of people doing or attempting to do that ?
Surely a symptom of the industrio/tech induced epidemic of loneliness.
A very interesting question on the ethical side as well.
My knee-jerk reaction is that the promotion and propagation of such methods should not be allowed, as it can risk nudging vulnerable individuals the wrong way.
But if this is not allowed, why would meditation be ?
What makes it different ? Only the outcomes ?
I cannot help but to be overwhelmed by the human condition sometimes.
I recall finding them as a teen myself on the internet, there were books and stuff on the subject but it was treated like something that might be risky, in the best of cases you would end un with a benign tulpa worse case you end up similar to OP or worse
It was certainly treated as "underground" knowledge, less something like you would share and more something you would find on a chan
Sounds like this isn’t a compelling new release for many of you all but as a person with autism the training load feature is something I missed from Garmin. My interoception isn’t very keen and to have this help me train mindfully is nice, I’ve had a history of either under or over training because I can’t sense how my body is adapting.
This depends on the model, e.g., the non-entry level Forerunner series watches have had training load-related metrics for a while now. That said, Garmin is mainly a cardio watch, and by extension the Apple training load metrics seems to be giving a more presentable UX to the "default"[1] approach to cardio training load.
