Weekly digest
This is probably last weekly digest in the blog. It seems like this format here is pointless and is suitable mostly for social networks.
💻 Working hard on LiveBook based documentation for my client. There is a sort of issue accessing dependences’
privdirectory files in LiveBook. This adds a sort of frustration for macro-rich code execution.🏃 We did it again! Our running season is finished with Perm marathon. The result is 5km in 36min and a lot of fun.
🔬 Started another scholar year wit writing a paper on math models used in my thesesis.
📽️ We’ve added a personality of Lama Bot to LLM and started working on commands and first introduction message last Tuesday. Lama Bot was already reborn. Now we need to train and teach it to grow lama (དླ་མ་) from the child. You can watch it on YouTube. Next Tue (17.09.24) we are going to continue with introduction and other special messages and do other tunning of the Bot. See you on Twitch.
🪷 I’ve mostly practiced shamatha.
📿 Happy Rebirth Lama Bot (དླ་མ་བོཏ།)! 🎂🎉 See you in public telegram soon.

This was the last week of the spring. For me it’s time for a big move… I’ve relocated from Perm to Zelenogradsk (Kaliningrad territory) with a couple of days in Moscow in between. It was a fantastic week-long family journey.

After that I got my first ever empowerment from HH 41st Sakya Trichen.

Будда - мой психотерапевт
По данным ВОЗ, ежегодно от депрессии умирает около 800 тыс. человек, причем основная часть это молодые люди до 30 лет. Коварство этого недуга заключается в том, что больной депрессией, зачастую, даже не осознает, что у него проблемы и продолжает жить, как ни в чем не бывало. Часто, но далеко не всегда, депрессия связана с профессиональным выгоранием.
С конца 2018 года эта участь постигла и меня. За 2 года я сгорел настолько, что к середине 2021 поймал себя на мысли, что сожалею, что не умер от КОВИДа. В этот момент стало понятно, что само не пройдет и надо что-то делать.

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the first successful crewed spaceflight. However, I’m not completely sure it made human beings really better or happier at least in long-term.
This week I’ve started to work on an idea of “བླ་མ། Lama” bot and Buddha is my therapist channel for Telegram. I start it in Russian for now but it’s going to be English as well soon. The aim is to help people cope with depression and burnout and get back to emotional balance. It’s based on my own experience. It’s going to be completely free and open source project.

It was a busy week. It was mostly devoted to PhD english exam materials collecting and ecology studies. Since I usually listen podcasts in the car and this week I was mostly working from home there are no much of them. On weekend I found a couple of time for myself and spent it for Buddhist studies.

How To: Build Docker Image for Phoenix Application
Deploying your project to a bare metal server or VPS like described in the previous article is fine at the very begining. But when it comes to thousands or even better millions of users it becomes necessary to scale the deployment. This is where docker comes into play. It has gained immense popularity in recent years due to its ability to simplify the deployment process and create isolated environments for applications. Allowing developers to package their applications along with all the necessary dependencies into a single container and making it easier to deploy and run the application on any platform docker has become an industry standard. -
