  Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

  These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
   
   
   
  But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
   
   
   
  In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.

  My Instruments Lied to Me Six...

  Nikolaos Broikos

  • 0
  • 0
  • 0

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Six times during this programme, something the author had built reported a confident falsehood. Not one of the six was caught by a check he had written. 
   
  One of them was the strongest finding in the entire project: a perfect result, every trial, in the direction the whole field expects. It was completely false, and the only thing that caught it was opening a file and reading what the model had actually said. 
   
  This is the instrument book. How to build a comparison that means something. How to find out what a wrong answer scores on your own tests, before you report a score at all. How to prove a grader can fail before you let it grade anything. Why an evaluator's error rate tells you almost nothing and its error direction tells you everything. 
   
  Every method in it is a few hundred lines of ordinary code with no dependencies, and every one of them exists because something went wrong first. 
   
  It is also, unusually, a book that documents its own failures at full length: the detector that looked for one set form of words and reported ninety-six fabrications where there were none, the check that compared a string against a pair of values and therefore could never fail, the average built from six outliers of ninety-six. Not as a confession, but because the pattern in how they were found is the most transferable thing here. 
   
  For anybody who has to decide something about an AI system and would rather decide it on evidence than on somebody's confidence.

  HOW THIS PRODUCT CAN WORK FOR YOU
   
  For a restful night's sleep, there are several phases you go through. With each phase our sleep gets deeper, our body becomes more relaxed, and our brain wave patterns slow down. We experience our deepest sleep phase when our brain enters the delta wave state. Delta sleep is the phase in which the body regenerates and rebalances itself for the new day.
   
  Getting enough sleep is therefore essential for a healthy, productive life. This mindMAGIXX sleep program has been proven to increase delta wave activity in your brain. The program has already helped many people to find regular, restful, and revitalizing sleep.
   
  Listen to one of the soundscapes whenever you want to go to sleep. mindMAGIXX is a pioneer in the field of audio-acoustic research. Numerous companies, health professionals, meditation groups, and individuals swear by their audio programs and their spectacular soundscapes that stimulate our brain waves and put them into a state of deep relaxation.
