In this episode we discuss how to go beyond mastering ChatGPT to automating your tasks using AI APIs. We introduce the concept of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and how they can be used to automate tasks to help you free up your time and scale up your productivity. Nikhil gives a live demo of an AI automation tool he built to help automate repetitive parts of Piyush's workflow as a sales executive, where he has to manually conduct research on each new client to prepare for sales meetings. The automation transforms a labor-intensive process into a seamless workflow, which saves time and improves productivity for sales executives like Piyush. We explore the technical aspects of API integration and discuss the broader implications of AI in personal productivity.

Finding focus is the key to getting stuff done. But how do we do that in a society that has created a distracted industry? Because your phones have given you instant access to everything, and we live in a 24/7 society. It has never been so difficult to isolate ourselves from those things that would have us blow off and fritter our time. In this podcast, we explore the problem and offer some solutions to that could see you getting stuff done. Finding Focus is not easy.  Why is that? It is because our media is cultivating a distraction-based society. I can remember 50 years ago, sitting in my room doing my homework. The option for distraction was limited; perhaps I could read a book or doodles. But if I wanted to get out and see friends or watch TV with the family. The homework had to be finished. The fact is our average attention span has been dropping. It is now around  47 seconds, and we can see this in how a film or drama series are cut. We can see this in the success of YouTube shorts and Tick-Tok reels. Boring Stuff is hard to do. When the work is boring or has the potential to trigger us into states of fear or worry, it is not surprising that we look for some distraction. In this podcast, we look at the problems. We will consider the importance of managing our energy and use feelings and emotions to motivate us to finish the work. One of those tools is accountability; one of the keys to my homework completion all those years ago was accountability to those around me. These powerful tools are part of the kit in focus coaching.

In this episode I discuss the role and life of the small business owner and what boring tasks it can entail from time to time. But they have to be done!

I don't think that something boring can ever be interesting, but it can be creative and that's what you need to think about. Of course, that's my opinion. As far as drugs, if you listened to my podcast I feel you know my stance on drugs. If not listen in for more on that in this episode. ★ Support this podcast ★

Anne Hamer is not afraid to share her opinion, especially about how marriage impacted her career, her biological clock, and why menopause is an advantage. In Episode 104 of You Are A Lawyer, host Kyla Denanyoh interviews Anne Hamer, a family lawyer from Nashville, Tennessee, about attending law school in New York, how divorce impacted her children, and why she stands in the Super Woman pose before every trial. Lawyers and NetworkingAnne doesn't regret attending law school, but she could've lived without the student loans. Working alongside colleagues is an invaluable opportunity to learn from those who have already succeeded. The speakers highlight the Anne explains how mentorship becomes more valuable AFTER law school because being surrounded by colleagues who are further along inspires what you can do in your career. Networking with other lawyers and connecting with individuals who share the same professional path will allow young lawyers to gain insights from their experiences and learn how to attract clients and build a prosperous practice. Parenting After DivorceAnne Hamer had some tough conversations before her divorce. When one of Anne's daughters wanted to be a stay-at-home mom like Anne, she knew it was time to go back to work and show her daughters that they could do anything! Anne also had conversations with other lawyers and friends with strong opinions about how and when Anne would allow her spouse to see their children. Traditionally, the advice given to divorcing parents is to aim for a 50-50 parenting plan, as studies suggest that equal parenting time benefits children. However, Anne challenges this notion, highlighting that every family is unique and what works for one may not work for another.Anne's divorce allowed her to see the need for mentorship and guidance with divorced parents. There is so much advice out there, but every family is different and must find out what will work for their family. After her divorce, Anne saw how her children changed, and she dedicated herself to being the best advocate for other families, including millionaire families. “You got to pay attention to that because kids need both parents," shared Anne Hamer on the You Are A Lawyer podcast.The Perks of Opening a Law FirmThere are a lot of expectations for lawyers to work in big law firms, but this isn't typically where a new lawyer's passion would lie. Anne shared her personal experience of feeling pressured to follow a traditional path of working in a big law firm and climbing the corporate ladder. However, Anne realized that this lifestyle did not align with her values and instead focused on family law and helping parents through the challenges of divorce and child custody.NOTE: This episode is edited and managed by Skip the Boring Stuff, a done-for-you podcast management service.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Jeff: I will say something maybe a little bit contrarian, which is that I actually think that the nuts and bolts of stuff is what matters.Jeffrey Robbins, a partner at Saul Ewing and syndicated columnist, was part of the guest impact creators delegation visiting Israel last month. We both concluded that the best part of the trip was the diverse composition of the delegation itself. I invited each member of the 8-person delegation to be a guest on the show.AI Summary of the Podcast* Jeff Robbins is a lawyer and syndicated columnist who twice served as the United States delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.* He admires Hillary Clinton's influence on human rights issues and challenges Trumpism in his writing.* He feels an obligation to write against Trumpism and states his appalled sentiment toward it.* Robbins has written for conservative newspapers like The Boston Herald.* Robbins believes in paying attention to detail and reading documents carefully, with no shortcuts or substitutes.* Robbins catches important evidence during litigation by paying attention to small details.* He encourages younger lawyers to embrace the “drudgery” of thinking about everything and taking responsibility for their cases.Earlier in his career, Jeff worked as a staffer in the U.S. Senate. That led to his developing a powerful network that yielded appointments from President Clinton for two years to serve as a delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.Jeff shared the story of his experience as a delegate:The United Nations, the United States has a tradition of appointing four so-called public delegates from outside the Foreign Service, from outside the State Department, to attend the Human Rights Commission. The idea, I think, originated with Eleanor Roosevelt when the UN was founded. The idea was that there should be some expression of the American public at the council. So the White House appoints four or five people a year to go. I have to say it was moving. I mean, on one level, of course, the UN is full of bloviation and nonsense and almost Monty Python-like silliness in terms of the rhetoric and the meaningless folderol. There is all that. But there's also a tremendous amount of idealism. The council every year is attended by hundreds of activists and refugees and victims and advocates for victims. And as a delegate for the United States, the United States being the 800-pound gorilla, there is actually opportunity to speak out on their behalf and to lend support to their various causes. These are stories, some of them too long to tell today. But there were numerous times in those two six-week stints when I thought, “My God, how wonderful to represent the United States. With everything that we've got going that's problematic, what a wonderful thing. The United States is at its best as an advocate for people, for those whose human rights are not being respected.So, I came away with it all, very much moved by the opportunity to speak at the UN on behalf of the United States and, probably more substantively, to kind of advocate a bit for various human rights organizations and individuals around the world.Today, Jeff writes a syndicated column that originates in the conservative paper, the Boston Herald. He writes as the liberal contrarian speaking to conservatives who don't often agree with him.He shared his motivation with me:I'm so appalled by Donald Trump. I'm so appalled by Trumpism. I'm so appalled by all of the viciousness and the brutality and the swagger and the corruption and the anti-democratic instincts, to be quite blunt about it—my view of the last five years of that movement. Even though I know that there will be people, lots of people, in fact, most of the Herald's readers, who will be enraged by that, I feel an obligation to go right at that. So I think in some perverse way—perhaps I shouldn't admit this—I actually like going right at that stuff in a newspaper where I know the readers will just detest me and cast aspersions on my mother.In Jeff's career, he has developed a superpower: focusing on the small stuff. This has enabled him to be successful as a human rights delegate, a Senate staffer, a columnist and especially as a lawyer.How to Develop a Focus on the Small Stuff As a SuperpowerJeff explained the power of sweating the small stuff:You are somebody who has achieved an enormous amount by paying attention to detail, by sweating the small stuff. I know that it's popular to say, don't sweat the small stuff unless you're a genius. I am very, very far from that. There's nothing to be done but to sweat the small stuff. I sometimes think that there's a direct line between neurosis and excellence. Neurosis is no guarantee of excellence. God knows, as I think I demonstrate, on an hourly basis. But on the other hand, unless you're a genius, excellence comes does not come without the neurosis, without the blocking and the tackling and the reading of things and the paying attention to details. So I actually think that the boring stuff is what matters most. If you skip the quote-unquote, boring stuff, the chances of succeeding at whatever it is you're trying to do are much slimmer in the practice of law. For example, in a big firm where the cases are big, and there are a lot of documents, I always had to laugh because people would talk about, “Well, document review, let's just give the document review to some junior people or some paralegals just let them do it.”I'm like, “I don't know what you're talking about, man. It's the documents that are the evidence. The evidence is going to be in some footnote someplace. If you don't look at the damn documents, including the footnotes, you're not going to get the evidence. And you don't get the evidence. You don't win the case.” That, to me, is an example of how there are not, in my experience, any shortcuts. Unfortunately, it's the slog that makes the difference, if you see what I mean.Jeff shared a specific example of attention to detail helping him win a case:It happened to me, quite frankly. Last week, while I was examining a witness and I looked down at a document that I had worked on, and I saw for the first time there was an entry on a legal bill, which was a piece of evidence that showed something important. My split-second reaction was, “Goodness, this probably isn't the best time to have noticed this, but no one has noticed this before. And here we are, standing in court, and I've noticed it.” That happens to lawyers, I think, way more than they like to say. But the bottom line on all of it is, if you don't spend the time as a litigator looking at the evidence, scouring it, turning it around, reading it at different times during the course of a case, because, of course, things occur to you differently as a case progresses, you're going to miss that stuff. There's no shortcut for that. There's no way around that. There's no clever Perry Mason skill that can substitute anything or even close to substitute for sticking your face down in the paper and reading the damn stuff.When I asked for advice for developing the skill, Jeff responded, “there are some people who, for one reason or another, find that drudgery. Again, I don't know any alternative to embracing the drudgery.”If you follow Jeff's example and take his advice to “embrace the drudgery,” you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good.

As the crypto economy shifts, can stablecoins keep Bitcoin's original promise in payments, foreign exchange and cross-border settlement?On this episode of “Money Reimagined,” Michael Casey speaks with Gordon Liao, chief economist at Circle, the creator and issuer of the USDC stablecoin token; and Alex McDougal, the CEO of Stablecorp, a Canadian-based company that has created the Canadian dollar-backed stablecoin QCAD, to discuss the future of payments with the integration of stablecoins in the ever-changing crypto economy. -This episode was produced and edited by Michele Musso with announcements by Adam B.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Barebones Guide to Mechanistic Interpretability Prerequisites, published by Neel Nanda on November 29, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Co-authored by Neel Nanda and Jess Smith Crossposted on the suggestion of Vasco Grilo Why does this exist? People often get intimidated when trying to get into AI or AI Alignment research. People often think that the gulf between where they are and where they need to be is huge. This presents practical concerns for people trying to change fields: we all have limited time and energy. And for the most part, people wildly overestimate the actual core skills required. This guide is our take on the essential skills required to understand, write code and ideally contribute useful research to mechanistic interpretability. We hope that it's useful and unintimidating. :) Core Skills: Maths: Linear Algebra: 3Blue1Brown or Linear Algebra Done Right Core goals - to deeply & intuitively understand these concepts: Basis Change of basis That a vector space is a geometric object that doesn't necessarily have a canonical basis That a matrix is a linear map between two vector spaces (or from a vector space to itself) Bonus things that it's useful to understand: What's singular value decomposition? Why is it useful? What are orthogonal/orthonormal matrices, and how is changing to an orthonormal basis importantly different from just any change of basis? What are eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and what do these tell you about a linear map? Probability basics Basics of distributions: expected value, standard deviation, normal distributions Log likelihood Maximum value estimators Random variables Central limit theorem Calculus basics Gradients The chain rule The intuition for what backprop is - in particular, grokking the idea that backprop is just the chain rule on multivariate functions Coding: Python Basics The “how to learn coding” market is pretty saturated - there's a lot of good stuff out there! And not really a clear best one. Zac Hatfield-Dodds recommends Al Sweigart's Automate the Boring Stuff and then Beyond the Basic Stuff (both readable for free on inventwithpython.com, or purchasable in books); he's also written some books of exercises. If you prefer a more traditional textbook, Think Python 2e is excellent and also available freely online. NumPy Basics Try to do the first ~third of these:. Bonus points for doing them in pytorch on tensors :) ML: Rough grounding in ML. fast.ai is a good intro, but a fair bit more effort than is necessary. For an 80/20, focus on Andrej Karpathy's new video explaining neural nets: PyTorch basics Don't go overboard here. You'll pick up what you need over time - learning to google things when you get confused or stuck is most of the real skill in programming. One goal: build linear regression that runs in Google Colab on a GPU. Transformers - probably the biggest way mechanistic interpretability differs from normal ML is that it's really important to deeply understand the architectures of the models you use, all of the moving parts inside of them, and how they fit together. In this case, the main architecture that matters is a transformer! (This is useful in normal ML too, but you can often get away with treating the model as a black box) Check out the illustrated transformer Note that you can pretty much ignore the stuff on encoder vs decoder transformers - we mostly care about autoregressive decoder-only transformers like GPT-2, which means that each token can only see tokens before it, and they learn to predict the next token Good (but hard) exercise: Code your own tiny GPT-2 and train it. If you can do this, I'd say that you basically fully understand the transformer architecture.

When the Navy Department set about the process of simplifying its journey to modern software development, officials decided it didn't make much sense to reinvent the wheel. So instead of building a software factory and development pipeline from scratch, they borrowed heavily from the Air Force's Platform One initiative and tailored it to the Navy's needs where necessary. On this week's edition of On DoD, Jared Serbu talks with Manuel Gauto, the chief engineer for Black Pearl, and Bob Stevens, a vice president at Gitlab, the company that provides the development platform Black Pearl runs on.

I have just come off a week of growth reports and got asked a few questions that I feel like the group should know about.  So I tackle those today!    I bring up some lunch with Jered success stories, so if you're looking for that 50% off, i got it right here for you!  https://www.growmyetsyshop.com/discountlunchlessons   Have a great week!

In this episode of the « Living from your art » podcast, I talk about the importance of doing the slow and steady boring stuff. Success does not always depends on a very high creativity because sometimes, the person willing to be persistent at doing the boring stuff that others are not willing to do will win the game. Making a living from your art takes hard work and dedication but I believe in you and am certain that you can make it! :)

Homebuyers assume a 15 or 30 year fixed rate isn't supposed to change, right?   In this conversation, we talk with Jasmine Mortgage Team branch manager (self-proclaimed Master of the Boring Stuff), Jeff Goddard, to see if there is anything a home buyer can do to avoid post-closing changes to their mortgages.  Some questions we hit head-on are: -What about if a lender transfers a mortgage to a different bank?  -Why does this happen? -How does this happen?  -Why do the property taxes change after closing?  Why does my escrow amount in my mortgage get altered and increase my payments?   We want to know if these are legitimate worries and if they're preventable.  Agent Upgrade is proudly sponsored by Jasmine Mortgage Team.  Topics: - What happens to my mortgage after closing? - Jeff‘s background - Why Your Mortgage Got Sold - Note Investing Explained - Why your fixed Mortgage Went Up - What is Recasting? - Explaining Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac & Mortgage Fraud - Should I buy now or wait for rates to go down? - Closing Thoughts and Advice from Jeff Also, check out Alan's book, House FIRE, to blow your mind on how the real estate investing FIRE method (financial independence, retire early) can change your life.  JASMINE'S INFO:  -NEW website: https://www.jasminemortgageteam.com/ -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminemortgageteam/  -Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLje3oF7/ ALAN'S INFO:  -Twitter: https://twitter.com/thehouseofAC -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehouseofac/   -Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehouseofac -Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thehouseofac AGENT UPGRADE PODCAST INFO: -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agentupgradepodcast -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqsg1xvT7t9o9BYoLx3-0yw -Website: https://agentupgrade.libsyn.com/ -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agentupgradepodcast

This is the post purchase Pro Podcast, Episode 19. Don't forget all the basic, boring stuff in your Amazon Business.It takes more than a few large bricks to build a complete bridge to your dream business. Some of the bricks are small, and some are large but all are equally important.Welcome guys to The Post Purchase Pro Podcast.Today, we're going to be talking about the fundamentals, the boring stuff, as you would say, Sean and how the boring stuff really does make all the difference. Right?I mean, how many times have we juggled a bunch of different things at the same time?And if you drop the fundamental, if you drop the boring one, then it all comes crashing down, John.It's the boring stuff would be considered the glue. That holds everything together. And I heard some, some assays I was hanging out with, for awhile said, you know what, Keep the first thing, the first thing, or keep the main thing, the main thing?You know, when you're scaling a business, we all seem to get attracted all these different sacked shiny objects. We get attracted to the next tactic. The magic button, the easy button.The major ninja strategy that's going to move your business forward with no effort on your part. You know what I mean? Well, we all know that's not reality.So, we have to keep the main thing, the main thing, and if we don't, then our business will suffer because we didn't even get to where we're at right now.By focusing on only those large bricks to your bridge, you're talking about. But, you know, we did that by brick by brick, small, tiny bricks, one on another, to lead to where we are, You know, when you think about how an ant devours a tiger or how a slave build a pyramid back in ancient Egypt.1:49Know what happened. one brick at a time. one tiny bite at a time.1:53So, it's those small, fundamental steps when repeated, can almost complete any task laid out before you. So, no set.2:03It seems to me, you know, whenever our business was struggling, if you'll remember, we were either focused way up here on these, these huge tactics that were supposed to advance us, you know, fast forward and skip all the boring stuff.2:17Or conversely, we were focused on, know what, wherever trip hazard was at our feet, instead of just moving straight forward ahead, taking care of the boring stuff first, before you ever decide to tackle something huge.2:31Well, I think you're right, John. So let's, know. one of the things that comes to mind as you were talking areas like what is the fundamental, what is the boring stuff? Well, everything becomes boring once you have it nailed.2:42Like, everything becomes routine like once the latest and greatest strategy and tactic that you're discovering now. If you do it as many times as What it really takes to succeed, it's gonna be boring. So, like when you know, when we were first starting out shot, I remember we would discover like A strategy like that were amazing.3:02And then we come back to our team and be like, did you do A and B, because A and B, you know, every single time we knew that, it would work.3:09And they weren't, because it was the, the old thing, the boring thing.3:13So whatever it is, that's, the, that's driving the results in your business that could be different than our business.3:19But if you discovered a strategy, and you know every single time you do, it adds five or 10%, you gotta do it every single time. Don't let those things die. Just because it's boring, So the latest strategies are wonderful to keep pushing, But once you find something that works, you gotta keep doing it. You can't drop that boring stuff.3:40Yeah, of course.3:4

In today's episode, we address a number of questions that our listeners sent in through Twitter and other sources. Here's a list of topics we touched upon in this mixed mailbag episode:our current work,our summer goals, and how much of it we achieved,our plans for the fall semester,our potential plans for conference travel,leaving industry to start working on research, and what that means in terms of salary,a week in the life of PhD candidacy,any preconceived ideas we had about the PhD or academia that turned out not to be true,skills every PhD candidate should have, andour favorite books read in 2021 so farWe are happy to receive your questions and answer these in a future Q&A episode!ReferenceAutomate the Boring Stuff with Python - Al Sweigart + Udemy courseSummer goals post Corry Doctorow - Walkaway Maya Angelou - I know why the caged bird sings Charles Dickens  - A Tale of Two Cities Andy Weir - Project Hail Mary 

Do you ever get tired of the boring behind the scenes tasks and habits you commit to to reach a goal? Many times these are the things no one else will see. These habits and tasks may not be sexy and shiny but you should strongly consider staying committed to them. In this episode I share a few examples of how staying committed to the sometimes mundane elements of achieving a goal will bring many benefits, including being prepared to show up as your best self when opportunity presents itself.

An efficient business is one that runs like a machine, and it's dependent on a lot of unsexy stuff, like contracts, accounting software, and templates. In this episode, we discuss the tools and resources we use to make sure we're not wasting time on the tasks we don't want to do.

On this episode of Authentic Daily Positivity: You know EXACTLY what to do. The problem is that you think you need to be motivated or inspired to do it. JUST DO IT! Here's why you need to be about the grit and the grind not the glam and the shine.

Episode # 26Do you procrastinate on doing things even though they are important? When we run a business, we need to do the boring yet important stuff, but sometimes we only do them when we “feel” like it or when we are running out of time. Doing important things at the last minute can give us feelings of guilt, shame, and regret.  How can we get ourselves to finish these mundane and repetitive tasks? In this episode, I will share 4 techniques that you can use in order to complete those important, but boring tasks. Are you loving The Driven Woman Podcast, listening regularly, maybe even a subscriber who eagerly waits for Tuesday when the next episode is released?
