I'm bored, what should I build?

Title says it all. Any ideas welcome. I know Next JS, Typescript and Python.

For fun or for profit? If the latter, DM me.

"Bored" is the worst motivation. Was just re-watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and appreciating it more than before (can only imagine the fights the director had with the money people at the end!) and enjoyed Asuka Langley Soryu saying "Kiss me because I'm bored" and concluding "That's the last time I kiss a boy because I'm bored!"

Bored is the autist masking the grandiosity so that they might railroad the HN electorate without qualms*?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41488445

Imho both Nietzsche and Kohut concede that "grandiosity" is required, but what distinguishes these concessions

https://archive.ph/2025.12.22-054905/https://www.wsj.com/us-...

>I have little doubt that those who are able to achieve this ultimate attitude toward life do so on the strength of a new, expanded, transformed narcissism: a cosmic narcissism which has transcended the bounds of the individual.

Another example of "two fishes" (frogs?) struggling to leave ("ri") the aquatic

Kevin tells Stokes about his discovery of a general Stokes' theorem. Lord K doesn't realise its import (because he doesn't use it to simplify his "understanding"). Sir George doesn't do anything with it but sets it as an exam problem..

aeb links page curve to double descent: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089360802...

*As a culture, bisexuals are possibly the best at masking the grandiosity (thus sometimes getting diagnosed as _karens_), but when it's mixed with autism all bets are off?

(Somewhat) Tangentially:

Non-narcissistic (Golden mouth?) technology

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45441087

(I disagree with the first and last call but they could be examples of "cosmic narcissism")

aebtebeten•1mo ago
slightly less Freudian, definitely shorter, Kohut: https://psy-akademie.at/fileadmin/Media/WPA/Ausbildungen/PSY...

Does my water/anātman/(justice over prudence)/... resemble K's comic narcissism?

Do people really have so much trouble with death? Or is it just the sort of person who becomes a psychologist? (No one seems to be anxious about the time before they were born, frex)

> we may recognize that what has been accomplished is not so much control but the acceptance of the ultimate insight that, as concerns the supreme powers of nature, we are all "sunday riders."

gsf_emergency_6•1mo ago
PH's old fave is the rights-responsibility dichotomy, GoogAI offers

Kuleana > Dharma > Haqq ("reality" IE thru the eyes of the "supreme" natural law one can't tell the direction?)

in canids as in hominids? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_chasing#Parallels_with_hu...

Doesn't say anything about rodents or triads :)

aebtebeten•1mo ago
I'm only a chapter into the "Daffodil and the Dawn" (aurora = morning hour -> has...), so it's still hitting me how Hesse has a habit of writing Mary Sues; I guess he would respond that he's trying to depict Mythological Archetypes, so of course they participate in the primordial Mary Sue-ness.

Tail chasing certainly would express the "chase" phase of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_drive#Aspects , and sounds like it might significantly activate "stalk" and "grab-bite" heads as well?

TIL there are more rodent species than other mammal species (combined with bats they together comprise ~60% of mammal species); do gnawers, flyers, and insect eaters make a mammalian triad?

gsf_emergency_6•1mo ago
Taking a breather from (nerd-)scubadiving.. so placeholdering old threads (what PG called closure/browser-tabbing):

Magic Mountain -> better place to look for (expert-)embarrassment-grandiosity ("lion"?) geodesics(?). [theory ought to point straight at Stahlgewittern tho?]

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/dec/31/the-master-of-...

Fox: "primordial" curiosity-indignation geodesic ?

TIS (as nonexpert): Evo bottleneck.. weakness is strength; cue other Taoist-inspired-anime (name of which I can't retrieve for now).. survival in the Jurassic^W Triassic? "Obvious" Testamental innovation as well .

FWIW I had "aeb"/"jurisprudence" top of my to-algolia-fu list last Nov.. ("circles" for PH)

PS: was looking to tell you that HH possibly lifted elements of NuG from Lermontov

PPS: ask "Civilian" (Blokette?) enforcers about their _formal_ psychotherapy training? So as to be less impressed ;)

PPPS: to ask about a menu of US domestic policy failure options one should choose from :)

aebtebeten•1mo ago
Consider a breakfast menu, the chicken, and the pig: like the chicken, the émigré may be abstractly concerned with the direction of the Old Country, but unlike the pig, is in no concrete way committed!

[also: I'm an old married man — I already know what I'm having; you may do better to ask someone younger what's currently on the menu?]
