(Thread) Why a #dhoti or #sari is #sattvik
1. Handwoven on a handloom, it is a product of patience and precision.
2. The attire is a breathable adjustable unstitched fabric that combats fast fashion pollution since there is no need to use and throw . 1/n
3. Can be #adjusted to increasing or decreasing waistlines without worry or trouble.
4. Keeps you cool in sweltering heat.
5. A #dharmic way of life involves #meditative chanting during the production of thread on a #charkha (Spinning wheel). 2/n
The clothes made from the thread thus become #sattvik. An individual who wears an #unstitched fabric receives #Chaitanya or #spiritual healing, since every thread in an uncut cloth remains intact and is able to spread waves of Chaitanya all over the cloth. 3/n

Minimalism – is about owning less, reducing distractions, and understanding what we value. That drives how we save, spend, and invest. A minimalist lifestyle with money-management skills can truly enhance financial wellness. We love @TheMinimalists

If overwhelmed by # of papers in *offline* RL, check out our @NeurIPSConf Spotlight with Scott Fujimoto: we show how few lines change to TD3 (TD3+BC) can be competitive with SoTA algorithms, halving training time. Inspired by #minimalism #zen #konmari arxiv.org/abs/2106.06860
We propose "BC as a regularizer", which adds negligible compute cost to original TD3 objective, but makes it quite performative on offline RL.
For the table, we followed similar "algorithm" "implementation" separations suggested in our other NeurIPS paper

#thread #minimalism a friend had shared this meaningful meme, a picture with the legend, ‘the less you own, the less it owns you’. It was a powerful statement; one that has stayed with me. @jeetsingharya @BastarDistrict @sundar_IPS @rajat4bansal #bastarkibaate #minimalism
There is a lot of talk these days about minimalism, particularly among the neo-rich urban crowd who are burdened with the ‘problem of plenty’. We live in a society that celebrates consumption and accumulation. I myself am a hoarder of all things handmade and beautiful.
As a result, my home feels like a museum and my closet is overflowing with beautiful, hand-woven sarees. But even beauty is bondage. I realise that now, as I take my baby steps on the long road of #अनासक्ती

This is easier said than done.

Thread:

1) Say you know your average monthly (living) expense and that's 20k.

But your current income is 25k, investing the 5k a month is likely NOT going to get you out of the "rat race" (in the short term).
2) If you are working an 8 - 5 job for that 25k, you will be more successful if you use the extra time you have on your hands to build something on the side. AKA the side hustle.

Once your side hustle is bringing in an income, you'll need to do calculations.
3) Calculate how much side hustle work you need to do (how many clients/hours/odd jobs) to replace your salary.

Once your side hustle is large enough to replace your salary, you can move to the next step (and you have a large emergency fund)...

Gave the 2009 #MacPro cheesegrater a pre-summer service. Pulled every major component & blasted with the air-compressor. Re-greased the northbridge and processors (x-pattern).

Back together, temps are down about 5-8c, & ready for another year’s work.
Chassis & motherboards from 2009, processors & RAM from ~2011, Wifi from ~2014, spinning storage from 2009-2020, SSDs from 2018-2020, Graphics from 2019.

By a large margin, the most stable #Mac I’ve ever owned.

The sealed & non-upgradable = stability hypothesis is horseshit.
What makes these old #Cheesegrater #MacPro stable in a way the 2013 wasn’t & the 2019 isn’t (go look it up, the 2019 is a crapfest of wake from sleep issues), is that these machines are standard Intel reference designs - they’ve got the least #Apple, of any #Mac, in them.

Our consumption model is hurting our environment, our physical and mental health. We’re over-using natural resources, exposing children to toxic chemicals in our everyday products, and creating too much waste. This is unsustainable. Thread👇
#sustainability
Humanity lives at credit and consumes resources equal to that of 1.7 planets a year, vs 1.4 a decade ago and 0.8 in 1963. If population and consumption trends continue, this figure will rise to 2 planets by 2030.

The problem is about quantity, quality, and behaviors. We produce too much useless and disposable stuff, using enormous resources, cheap materials and labor, that we often barely use and quickly throw away.
