I usually skim/scan before reading anything. I used to do this to get a gist of what to expect, but now I do it to look for telltale signs of AI slop (and run through Pangram if I’m suspicious) before committing to reading

This is one of the coolest hacks I've seen recently. Having done some much less involved MacOS hacking, I can't help but wonder if we may finally see momentum behind some flavor of agent-friendly Linux/Android if Apple doesn&

To my understanding, while sweating is important to heat adaptation and blood plasma volume adaptations, thermal load and cardiovascular strain are likely bigger factors (and more important for the health benefits mentioned in this study).

Potentially, but likely much less effective and less studied, and you likely need longer sessions for effective dosage. Most of the studies I've seen on improvements in blood plasma volume from passive heat are usually done with sessi

FWIW, most of the studies on improvements in blood plasma volume from passive heat are usually done on saunas with temperatures > 150 degrees F (60 C). Steam rooms usually only get up to 120F (~49C) even though the humidity probably make

Thanks for trying it, and keen eye! Fixing (with Claude code) but also taking time to try to learn a bit about the canvas drawing/pixel art, which I'm not super familiar with.

Ah yea, I got an uncommon dragon instead of the rare duck. Did you get your legendary?

This is awesome! Working on a desktop pet so the buddy caught my attention. Looking forward to making friends with my Rare Duck buddy tomorrow. Wish it was a snarky duck instead of a patient one though.

Do you think LLMs make this process of starting the engine easier or harder? They make getting started much easier, but it might be harder to feel a sense of momentum since our expectations of speed have changed, and the learning moments ha

Author here. The FaceTime is a reference to the J Cole lyric in the footnotes. I actually dug up a video from a class project when I was 20 and created a voice clone in ElevenLabs (and also gave it current voice samples with prompts to make

To the best of my knowledge, Waymo still has humans in the loop as Fleet Response agents that the vehicles can call for remote assistance when they aren't sure what to do. Caveat that the number needed likely isn't on the same ord

Love this idea! The Whiteboard Gym explainer video seemed really text-heavy (although I did learn enough to guess that that's because text likely beat drawing/adding an image for these abstract concepts for the GRPO agent). I foun

Whoa, a negative task-switch cost! I didn't take it multiple times, but it makes sense that having practice at this specific task probably improves both your overall response times and maybe more specifically improves the different tri

Awesome project! Reminds me of donothingfor2minutes.com from Calm, but with a different end goal of focus instead of calm. Regarding mobile phones going to sleep, Wake lock [1] might help, unless you can reduce to 59s since I believe 1m is

TL;DR: my co-founder and I hosted hundreds of 1-hour co-working sessions ourselves. In the early days of what is now Flow Club, my co-founder and I had built several apps to try to help us stay in touch with busy 30+-year-old friends. It wa

Thank you, and wow, what's your secret? My partner and I have been competing, and thus far, she's been quite a bit better at not touching her phone.

According to a 2022 survey [1], the average US adult picks up their phone 352 times per day, or approximately once every 2m43s while they're awake. Inspired by Calm's DoNothingFor2Minutes.com which launched on HN 13 years ago [2],
