Meditation has many techniques. Similar to how people have many different motivations and programs when they have a regular gym practice. Strength is different to agility is different to flexibility.


MCTB or Dhamma overground might have been a less confronting link to share :)


In more formal traditions the focus on breath (or similar) is to develop concentration/samatha/samadhi. The focus on sensations is the insight/vipassana component, and often this is where the tension bubbles up to the surface. Keeping calm (equanimous) during this process can indeed be non-trivial!

It sounds like you have come to a practice very similar to a lot of the Burmese traditions of insight meditation, which is quite fascinating.


I think they’re just focussing on the Samatha concentration aspect?


There’s some nice plugins too, some are finance related: https://github.com/ddotta/awesome-polars


The one thing I really want is for someone to make it so I can use it in F#. Presumably it's possible given how the python bit is implemented under the hood?


It uses pyo3 to generate the bindings, so you would have to find a similar crate for F#/.NET and port the polars Python FFI to it. If such a crate does not exist, it will be even more work.


It’s also important to consider the upcoming tax cuts. Don’t assume the efficiency savings are to return $50.50 to your back pocket.


Not every problem needs a CNN thrown at it.


Thanks for the pointer. Augurs looks really promising. If the matrix profile method was included it would be a nice alternative to the numba jit methods that are commonplace.


It does convolution of each sub sequence across the series length, and then shows the distance of the closest match. This can detect both outliers (long distance from closest match) as well as repeated patterns (short distance).


I don’t think it’s the same people.


Ah, you are right. I got the link from the original URL, so I just assumed. Thanks for the correction.


What is the relationship? And why is there a foundation for something like this?
