Yap, you can do that too

Wow, how can you survive on HN I wonder? Nothing fun or not-profit-oriented must be liked by the plebs. Cmon relax, it's a fun student project.

Not what I said at all.

You're surrounded by "powerful" LLMs, just get a subscription or pay for tokens. Literally any recent LLM can do that.

man I'm broke

I also recommend sh3d to do exactly what you needed: got the plans of my home (straight out pdfs) fed them to an LLM and got the 3D version of it in minutes.

Then started plopping in furniture and such, wonderful experience. Then you can navigate your home as a "visitor" to get a better feel. Definitely more realistic than Minecraft for actual planning.

i think you and the previous person both approach it from a different angle than me. haven't played minecraft in a while and as a kid i used to try to build buildings i knew, and then play minecraft with them as my base. so go hunting, start farming, search for diamonds etc.

sh3d removes the whole game-aspect and acts as a room planning tool, which is of course also neat, but i have no need for it. i also don't need to navigate my home as a visitor in a software, as i can just navigate it in meatspace.

but, if or when i move, i think i'll actually come back to sh3d! just don't see the point right now. maybe claude can help me mod sh3d so i can fight off mobs with a bow and arrow, or blow it up with some TNT :D

Either you don't do sports either or you are living proof that sports don't fix all mental disorders.

The CTE scandal that rocked high-contact sports like boxing and American football suggests that sports can cause mental disorders.

That said, physical activity, when carefully engaged in, is a great clearing agent for brain fog. Get to the gym, or go for a hike, jog, swim, or bike ride, if nothing else.

How did it get personal? You can't understand my take so you lash out. Well, I don't really care so... Good luck?

They probably understand it just fine, but are tired of hearing it from _so_ _many_ _different_ _people_. It's practically a cliche for someone to bring it up every time mental illness is discussed and it's utterly hollow advice for the vast majority of people. Given the general size of the effect exercise has on mental illness, it's far more the bandaid fix than any other suggestion (exercise will help basically anyone feel a little bit better. It's extremely rare for it to rise to the level of treatment, let alone a cure).

You're not thinking capitalistically enough. It's part of the State of Things (tm) to have purchased things come and go. One day you can use them and another they are gone. Just as in nature, would you be surprised if you took a tomato and it stopped being good after a few weeks? Well, software is a bit like a tomato actually.

That would be if "the phone only discharges, all at once"

But working is a necessity of life, how can one find meaning without being stuck in an office doing useless stuff for money?! /s

That's the take many have been educated against: maybe one day a category of bullshit jobs will be gone and it's fine.

Is roofing a useless task? I think not, we all need roofs. Have you ever personally replaced a roof in the middle of summer? I have. After that, I never thought of a climate controlled office as a place I was "stuck".

This is the old comfort/friction/happiness dichotomy isn't it.

Each incremental reduction in friction and improvement in comfort feels good. But is the net effect happiness? I think it's anomie, in the limit.

Ah but I'd take roofing in the summer over septic tank cleaning any day. The existence of even shittier jobs does not make any particular job not-shitty.

I did quite a few summers doing carpentry in the heat, and yes, I appreciate AC but what's your point?

Also if roofing was a non-problem anymore (we solved it somehow), would you want to have people doing it just for the sake of doing a job?

We've made money a necessity of life and working the only way billions of people can get money. If we think a big chunk of jobs can be automated away, how are those people going to fulfill their needs?

You make it sound like we invented work. When was work ever not necessary? All we invented was division of labor, and money as a way to translate between different kinds of labor. I think that's an improvement?

Modern work is certainly an unnatural invention. As is the phenomenon of rent seeking and allowing wealth accumulation to the point of absurdity.

I'd rather not go back to hunting and gathering. Though I would like to go back to trust busting, collective action, and rule of law.

Why judging when someone prefers a different way to work than yours?

Because you ignored them before someone told you about them.
