Funny enough I’m listening to Rhapsody in Blue while browsing HN. I’d like to see it do that for 17 minutes.

I’m making an iOS app to analyze one’s personal data and run self experiments. It just launched on product hunt last week!

I use ElevenLabs to narrate tutorials for my app and I’m a happy customer thus far.

Here is an example: https://youtube.com/shorts/UKjqrydITLA?si=iC7ehp6LmlLH0M-U

I made an app to experiment with life interventions and track goals.

It depends on how you take it. If you chug almost liter of coconut water (like I did) you can get palpitations (like I did). That has >500mg potassium in a form more bioavailable than say a banana or butternut squash.

Also the RDA is not something you should have all at once. That’s a sure way to disrupt your heart.

I acknowledge the formal definition, but am wondering how the analogy for treewidth would be tweaked for carving width.

This sounds a lot like the description of carving width [1], and I was wondering if you could help me understand how the analogy differs between them?

I started reading the first half of that. I definitely sense what you’re sensing but I’m curious, what is it that you object to specifically?

I’m guilty of this. Having recognized the need to market my product, I’m trying to go about it in the most honest way possible and one that is in line with my values. Before this, I had the opinion of my work will speak for itself, but now I’m trying to at least raise awareness about my work.

Why not feed the library code and documentation to the LLM? Using it as a knowledge base is bound to be limited. But having it be your manual-reading buddy can be very helpful.

Reading that made me want to revisit Pale Fire

To provide another perspective, I read this book and it was unfortunately just not my thing. The whole plot seemed very clear from the beginning and I found myself eager to get to where the climax occurred. The journey there wasn’t all that compelling, partly for that reason.

I do agree with your sentiment about number of characters though, that really helped. I find that my working memory for characters isn’t what it used to be.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback. It’s still nascent, so I really enjoy hearing stuff like this.

When Jon Stewart was on the Late Show talking about the possibility of a covid lab leak [1], he gave a quip along the lines of “science says ‘why did curiosity kill the cat? let’s kill 10,000 cats and find out.’” and that if science can do it, it will do it, and it’s uncommon for people to ask “should we be doing this?” before it’s too late. I think that ego and scientific urge to understand are sometimes hard to distinguish because they sometimes lead to similar outcomes.

I created an app for myself to track anything about my life and test life interventions hypotheses like diet changes and supplements. It’s been a wonderful journey and I’ve learned a lot about myself thanks to it. It’s called Reflect - Track Anything.
