i actually had heard it helps w/ bloating/stomach issues online and took for a while and def noticed a debloating effect and less gas... obviously 1 anecdote, but I'd assume any slight waistline reduction is due to that. Als

We did this in college as well using microcontrollers and leds or something - i forget the exact details. It was super fun

Ahh you should've gotten an email from orate.to with the license key -- Polar generates their own license key I just found out... I am updating so the polar key will work and fixing the webhook verification thing and then changing it s

Not yet but that's a great idea! I can work on that! I'm also about a week away from an iOS app

Found the issue, published a new build, added a few features, and tested on a few devices now that I'm back home. Should be fully operational for you now!

Looking into it again.. Thanks a ton for the help debugging. I haven't run into any of these issues personally

On it! Pushed out a fix for something else earlier and didn’t go through a clean install to test. Should have a fix shortly. Just getting off a plane though. Will follow up when I have it nailed down.

Oh also, on the website, the first preview in the hero does give a real synthesized example I pulled using the app! Its not clear that the other screenshots are not interactive

The Chatterbox HD plugin actually does AI voice cloning, but I didn't expose it yet. That's a great idea to see if it can do different voices and I could clone some popular ones. Device sync is coming soon!

Can you paste your system specs here for me? It's running for me just fine and on a few other laptops here, but I am curious if there's something on your laptop that might be giving issues... It does require Mac w/ Apple M1+.

My fil owns a bunch of grocery stores in Russia. The gov't still essentially subsidizes the cost of basic goods to keep prices low for the poor. Because of this, even the poorest have access to what they need, and they worship Putin

Many people losing their minds over stuff like this... I'm just glad some people are finally trying out new ideas, because the status quo is not working for a large portion of the American population. I just hope they properly track an

So then I guess it seems like you're rejecting the premise then that there's a loneliness epidemic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loneliness_epidemic I get what you're saying -- I leave my house more tha

You're completely missing the point. The problem is people aren't collectively incentivized to do so. Individually someone can decide "oh wow, I'm lonely, I should get out more", but collectively there's noth

Yeah I'm very willing to socialize and actually do far more than pretty much anyone I know, even those without kids (but maybe not as much as a 25 year old just getting started in the world and living in SF like I once was). I'm

Oh absolutely... I just look at the office as a "forced" version of what you said. Totally agree it's way more than just the office

by bherms 8mo ago
YMMV I guess. I've got tons of friends I've made walking around the office and just dropping in and asking people what they're working on and introducing myself, or sitting at a table with people I didn't. Some are no

This as well. You need to learn to talk to people, socialize, handle adversity, etc. Sitting at home and your only real connection to the outside world being an echo chamber like facebook or whatever cannot be good for us

Yep, I met my wife at an office party - she didn't work for the company, just stopped by with someone who did And not just the office friends that come from it -- I spent an hour a day on the bus, grabbed lunch around town, was downtow

All of the replies so far are suggesting ideas for an individual but seem to be missing the real crux of the matter... Yes, you'll be less lonely if you join a group, get out of your house, etc... But how do we actively incentivize tha

this is one reason, while i personally work from home, i actually lament that many 20-somethings will never be in an office i'm nearing 40, have a wife and kid, house in the mountains, etc... but, damn, those office days were foundatio

Yeah I'm impressed with its ability to do stuff, but not quite with its results. We have been working on more AI assistance adoption so I asked it to do some decently complex things with json/yml schema definitions and validation
