The readme shows how to run it assuming you can run a python program on the device, so I expect it works with laptops and PCs but there's a note at the end of the page saying that the iOS app has fallen behind the python version so it's not clear to me how to get this running on your iphone or other such devices.

Also, possibly a hot take, but many have been on caffeine since early teens, I am convinced the average person’s anxiety is 30 or 40% higher when on several caffeinated beverages a day

If it really was about “safety” then why wouldn’t Ilya have made some statement about opening the details of their model at least to some independent researchers under some tight controls. This is what makes it look like a simple power grab, the board has said absolutely nothing about what actions they would take to move toward a safer model of development.

Great idea and demo but tough to see many municipalities refitting their street lighting to keep astronomers happy. Might be easier to persuade them to just turn streetlights off completely for a few hours a night, at least then there’s some cost saving.

Maybe in the future when we all have smart glasses with night vision mode and self driving cars we’ll look back at citywide streetlights as a quaint and inefficient solution

I think for many people “Bug” can imply something that crawled in from outside and messed up the system, “defect” implies that there was an avoidable deficiency in the specification or the implementation. The engineering mindset might prefer “defect” since it implies that we can fix the process and improve the quality of future products, whereas “bug” implies these things are just a fact of life and you can’t expect to eliminate them

I never knew you could set a delay! Is this widely supported?

curious what exactly you're referring to by market regime detection / classification, anything I've seen on this (several models from bulge sellside) has been backward looking and fairly useless.

It’s a bit hard not to be cynical when he himself describes how he developed his channel by optimising and a/b testing everything “like a psychopath” including the amount of views per dollar given away - he says himself that 100k seems to be the inflection point, you don’t get so many more views by going from 100k to 500k or 1m. Not once did he ever appear to have thought about the impact on the lives of the people receiving this random lump sum, which plenty of research on lottery winners shows is often very disruptive and negative on their overall long term wellbeing. As for his “donating” for blindness surgery etc, there are plenty of actual charities staffed by volunteers working hard day after day, he could easily donate quietly to any of those and he chooses not to.

I’d buy a Pavlok for sure if I could easily configure it to buzz me when I exceed a certain number of phone pickups or just phone screen time in a given period. I see some people have made this work with shortcuts and zapier but I’d want it to work out of the box

Minority Report is 15+ in some places, the climactic “crime” deals with some pretty heavy themes as I recall

If you’re actually busy then everything you say yes to necessarily means saying no to something else. If I start a hobby project to learn about and play with technology X, and I end up yak-shaving technology Y, I’m wasting my time and not achieving my goal.

Nitpick but statements like “this is why we have resorted to clothing ever since we left our origins in Africa (where it was hot enough to survive without additional layers of clothing).”

really make me question the basic intelligence of the author.

I also work at a HF and have worked in various finance domain roles for 20 years and I strongly agree with this. Focus on clearing your short term debt (if any), keeping your investment costs low, pick safe options.

After this, in my opinion the most impactful thing you can do to long term wealth prospects is live well within your means, and ask for raises, really really make sure you are at or close to the top end of your market rate salary at all times. Never defer gratification when it comes to professional compensation, no matter what the supposed upside might be.

Also speculates that taking antiviral treatments, even short courses, might delay or prevent the virus progressing from peripheral to central nervous system.

Genuine question, if Amazon is knowingly selling this product to minors and they are aware if its intended use, how is this being “blown out of proportion”?
