A ring you can talk into and it controls an agent on your phone. Eg say "pick me up" and an Uber arrives.

Looking for people who know hardware well. Let's get to know one another on a flight to Shenzhen :P

it's a lot of work, but something you could do is track how you feel (manually or some other way) and do a similar statistical analysis. chess elo was just convenient and aligned for me.

thank you! i think it's ridiculous how little they invest in their developer ecosystem. i have been thinking about jumping ship to oura or whoop simply because of this.

This misses that agentic LLMs are trained via RL to use specific tools. Adding custom tools is subpar to those the model has been trained with. That's why Claude Code has an advantage, over say, Cursor, by being vertically integrated.

i have a different take. i'm very glad flat earthers exist. in general i would hope the population of people who believe an idea be proportional to the probability of its truth. so even the wildest ideas should have some modicum of support. consider a world without this. i would imagine it would necessarily have to be thought-policed. i believe this is how we should frame this discussion.

what i think is the issue is that we have a broadcasting machine (social media, news, etc) that works on sensationalism. so you are always hearing about fringe ideas and given no signaling to the size of the population that supports it.
