I bought an Ultra 3 and was quite disappointed with it. The heart rate monitor frequency is really low. I'm glad to see they have at least fixed that. I dual-wield right now with a Fitbit Air to supplement the data.

It's an absolute pain, but you can use signal-cli to do it (or at least you could a few months ago when I did). Just an FYI if you ever have time to burn.

Honestly, they could try building an interface that doesn’t suck. I have no idea why Valve seems to be the only one doing this. I’ve found a lot of things just from browsing the Steam store page. I don’t think I’ve ever done this with any o

I think I am one of the laziest people around and even I can't imagine doing this. The first thing that got me was the part about having sensitive data. If you're doing this, how sensitive could it really be?

I wish I could convey my thoughts that well! On the topic: I feel like we still need at least a few more innovations in the space before we can rely on them to work in areas where we as humans still have trouble (that pesky training data!).

Times are getting so much tougher. I remember my early morning organic chemistry classes using top hat. I never showed up to class, but I had my top hat app open. The answers were usually kept simple, so I'd guess things like 0 or 1 (t

Definitely. There will be apps that will allow this (Virtual Desktop Classic is on steam already), and I foresee some neat things coming from its more open environment. On the other hand, it will be highly subjective. I have found that the

I've actually just recently started using my Quest 3 again through virtual desktop. I found the sharpening feature to actually make text look good enough that I'm able to work in it for hours uninterrupted, mostly writing papers a

When Trudeau said "[t]he best vaccine for you to take is the very first one that is offered to you," they were aware of the potential threats that AstraZeneca posed, and yet, it took about 15 more days before the government suspen

I would love to have known. I would imagine the steel mill would have a larger turnover rate than other places. The idea of an impact to the body that significantly disrupts the ability to keep it in homeostasis has intrigued me. It’s likel

Yes, that would be my guess as well. It’s just something that has stuck with me regardless.

I was very young, but I remember my grandfather was very afraid to retire from the steel mill where he worked most of his life because those who retired tended to get cancer shortly after and die. Sure enough, a little over a year after his

I'm not sure about the Intel thing, but I agree that it would be nice to be able to use it the way you want. You're talking about a company that limits you from having a comma on the front of the iPhone keyboard. Why?

I'm not really against phones, but I don't understand when they became acceptable to begin with. I keep reading about them being recently banned in my area as well, but I distinctly remember them not being allowed when I was young

I think the AI reasoning in the ruling has a little bit of truth to it. I have found myself using search quite a bit less. I'm still not sure what that means in the long run, but it does feel like times are changing. When I do use Goog

I feel this way about most teaching research, but it's likely a sign that I'm starting to get old. Many instructors at my local university have shifted to the "flipped classroom" approach, and the students just don'

I loved EverQuest. I still have some great memories of it. My friends and I still go back to playing it every once in a while. EverQuest also gave me some fantastic typing skills (from having to type in a significant amount of things for ac

I type (mostly) correct, but this is true. I'm still using one of the first keyboards I ever bought and the f and j keys have become worn down, so I seem to have learned ways similar to what you're describing. Different keyboards

I learned to type playing the MMO Everquest. You used to have to type out the dialog for quests. I started playing that game in grade 3 and have been a fast typer ever since (I used to be about 140 wpm, but as I've aged, it has dropped

AI has been really interesting. I definitely feel its benefits when I want to cram some learning in. On the other hand, it has introduced a new and novel issue for me that feels an awful lot like imposter syndrome. This sounded like the sam
