It's Covid. As someone who only recently recovered from Long Covid after a long, arduous 2-year fight, I see his point.

Y Combinator and other accelerators have job boards: https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs A lot of VCs also have job boards, or they will list their portfolio companies and you can reach out directly: https://jobs.a1

Fun! I was a bit confused at the end because there's no "victory" state or indication. I think I was expecting it to give me a new word pair once I got to the end, or tell me "come back tomorrow for another round"

Looks cool! Can you point it at app store reviews as an input source?

Not that I can make sense of it all, but to be fair the last result has been demonstrated by Michael Levin's lab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5VI0u5_12k

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I've always wanted to see this visualized and the marbles make it so tactile and real.

All the images look like renderings. Is the car actually in production?

Me, for one. As a person with negative free time this sounds like exactly what I need.

idk if I agree, it feels genuine enough to me, plus you can self-host so it's not like they're just trying to own your content.

There are a lot of weird comments in this thread but to me this looks like a cool, genuine project which has an obvious need; I don't think the vibes are off at all. Given that lately I can't even be bothered to write Markdown for

Well that's unfortunate. Although I still don't understand why she wouldn't have sought medical attention as her own condition worsened, but I suppose that's at least conceivable.

This feels very hand wavey to me. So she feels progressively ill and then dies, all without ever seeking medical attention? I suppose they assume it was acute / she collapsed, but it still seems unusual. She's only 65 remember.

I realize you're probably just trying to help, but: A) I tested this on myself with results which are consistent with theirs and which would be unexpected if their conclusions were off-base, which is why I'm comfortable making the

Related to this, it's been shown that Long Covid sufferers have low levels of circulating serotonin due to viral inflammation downregulating the gut intake of tryptophan (serotonin's precursor) and is also (I believe) correlated w

For what it's worth, I've had some success treating my Long Covid symptoms with a specific form of Tryptophan found in Hydrolyzed Whey Protein (a standard bodybuilding protein powder.) You can get it OTC from Amazon [1]. My symp

I started getting these post-Covid, but I'm not on any SSRIs. It feels like your brain does a "degauss" thing like the old CRT monitors; it's not fun. There's some evidence to show that long Covid is connected with

Your app is good, I'm between HSK1-HSK2 and there are often scenarios I want to practice that aren't covered in the standard dialog options in other popular Mandarin apps, so I see the appeal. Some feedback: - It took a while to g

Yeah but this would be more widespread and harder to counter; imagine a major phone vendor is a victim of the supply-chain attack he's describing. Even if only say, a thousand people buy Android phones with bombs in them, if suddenly

I agree, the interpretation factor is huge. I can picture things in my mind's eye, can remember what people look like, walk through the recent past, etc., but I don't see them painted as images on my closed eyelids as though I was

I've had a couple OBEs (as a result of meditation, not near-death), and they're very interesting, but I'm not surprised that Parnia's subjects weren't able to match up any images because I've never had an OBE w
