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&

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

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 som

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 prefe

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

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

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 a

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 t

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 opinio

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”?

All the staff you interact with have been to the same handful of British public schools (ie private fee schools) so you never have to talk to someone who is ignorant of precisely your standing in the British class system and they will all s

They also sacrificed humans to their gods. The tenure of a bad habit is not an argument in favour of the habit. I recall ancient romans used lead to enhance the taste of wine, if that practice had persisted nobody today would advocate for i

Yes, people “doing” the stage-Irish accent in response to an Irish person speaking in a relatively neutral accent is incredibly common, I just don’t get how people don’t realise what they’re doing- and I know for fact that many times it’s m

Maybe, but maybe rapport based on “I don’t know you but I’ve heard your kind are a harmless lot who are always up for a drinking party after work”, is useful in a very limited set of circumstances, such as meeting a new team of peers, mayb

Yeah, maybe don’t. I’m Irish and I’m sick to death of the stereotype of Irish as jolly drunkards. I recently went to see “The Glass Menagerie” play and the biggest (maybe only) laugh of the night was when the mother expressed surprise that

It’s a bit disappointing that an article purporting to educate us about something we should know but may be unaware of, is completely wrong about the example of how an airplane climbs - you don’t climb by pitching up, you have to increase p

Agreed; I would add that the monarchy also does much more damage by creating and perpetuating the British class system. I’m not sure it would collapse without them, but it would certainly seem less legitimised. When you step back for a mome

I agree that disruption is the other major threat, which they also pour billions into via acquisitions and VC activities. My guess though is that the possibility of govt action is what really scares them, and most of the tech elite. You can

I’d suggest they care less about new products diversifying income and more about new products making them look diversified and less like a monopoly. That is the logic behind changing their name to “Alphabet”, distract from their utter domin

Everyone faces this pain. There is no single good source for all the data any nontrivial app needs. The main vendors are predatory and will change the goalposts to charge you as much as you can bear and more as you grow. In my experience th

As you mature and gain experience it’s normal and healthy to have less “raw certainty” - but most of that is misplaced anyway and we’re just ignoring the uncertainties inherent in the world, and getting over excited by our own untested idea

You’ll often read that successful people decide what they want and focus on it obsessively. It’s easy to overlook that phrase “decide what you want”. You really have to consciously decide that you want something and make it your goal. Motiv
