It takes a really different state of mind to start a cigarette habit especially due to awful taste and effect of ingesting a strong concentration of chemicals on your body that has nothing to do with dosed concentration of 'mostly just' nicotine.

It may be anecdotal and subjective reasoning, but I battled vape addiction differently than cigarette addiction. I'd classify tobacco addiction more of an emotional addiction, while vaping was more based on nicotine addiction which was more mechanical and predictable than the former.

I think that relationships are crucial for the quality of living and not seeking depth in those may be more detrimental than most things I mentioned above.

Especially, the today's 'connected' societies which often give false premise of socializing and promote ideas of isolating yourself from deeper relationships.

People forget that we use computers for accuracy, not smarts. Smarts make mistakes.

It left so bitter taste in my mouth when it started to lose track of item quantities after just a few iterations of prompts. No matter how improved it gets, it will always remind me the fact that you are dealing with an icky system that will eventually return some unexpected result that will collapse your entire premise and hopes into bits.

Main difference between gold and bitcoin is in its history. Gold as a type of investment instrument has already earned its reputation and status. It’s not just a commodity, it’s a financial instrument that had its use in building and making of history and it’s well integrated, recognized and supported by most government and societies.

We still don’t know what Bitcoin really is and how it behaves. It could be valued 10k times up or down next year and there could be no clear reason why that happened. Bitcoin is not in hands of most powerful companies, people and governments and change of its value would not affect anything but net worth of certain individuals or organizations.

By no means, I think bitcoin is here to stay and it has a very clear future as an investment and payment instrument. But I think it’s really silly to say Bitcoin is speculative as much as other investment instruments.

Or imagine having a senior engineer in a subject you are clueless about (e.g. Haskell) and think about how annoying would it be for both of you to communicate out some advanced functionality program.

Analyzing, researching, learning and making decisions are a crucial part of doing work. LLM apps are useful at another approach for learning and researching, but if you solely rely on them their drawbacks are going to keep you behind.

I actually never heard about it but I guess we now live in the era of “gpt is your friend”. :)

Nice feature

I have a cheaper smartwatch and a dirty cheap robot cleaner.

Cheaper smartwatch has e-ink screen, notifications, payment, health monitors, etc. It doesn’t have all possible smart features, but in return I got 30d battery life.

Cheap robot vacuum cleaner is based on basic sensors, no lidar or recognition systems. It gets stuck in cables, it misses 10% of spots, but it captures 2 cup sized ball of dust every day.

I am happy with both. Especially because I researched and found what works for me. Maybe the ‘best’, ‘smartest’ and most expensive products in the market isn’t neccesaary what everybody needs?

In the meantime, I did relize I might have overblown consequences of what a product collecting and summarizing knowledge might cause.

Plus choosing a $1000 for a 10-year warranty would be a very bad deal, since $500 guarantees you 5-year product, additional working time or ability to sell and repurchase of an improved version of a product. Minus could be inflation or less reliable product in the future.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but your comment is essentially "Lets remove motivation for those who had incentive to share valuable information and see how it turns out.".

I repeat, what will be the motivation of an individual to share or provide valuable information if you decrease or eliminate any control of where and how that information appears?

Public content is still mostly published with a reference to a certain or anonymous individual/organization and gains visibility based on a value and an effort to be seen. Individual/organization is still motivated by visibility, popularity, acceptance and approval of that content.

We can summarize that people are motivated by a reaction. What do you think will happen when you remove or decrease reaction to knowledge/content providers?

What will be the point of sharing knowledge or content if it will no longer be associated to an individual or organization?

The mere fact that goggles will enable users to communicate and consume media just as they can with devices they already own, will be the key argument to purchase this expensive headset.

But this incremental improvement we get after purchase of each-time-more-polished device finacnces future inventions and innovations, and then after some number iteration we get something that is truly useful. At least that's the trend I noticed regarding every tech breakthrough and hype in this century.

On the contrary, I am not bringing their internal mindset and intentions into question at all, as I do posses some non-public details on how the company operates internally. Afterall, I mentioned in a few places, I sincerely root for that company.

However, relying on a fastest EV badge for 10 years and making some sales is not nearly enough for company of that size to take on another hit and wait project. And public data they release year after year consisting of promises and plans, but ‘keeping’ success stories, achievements and breakthroughts for themselves is enough to know it’s not a good sign.

Investors will wait for their ROI only for so long.

They have a lot of money to spend and expand due to huge investments, but only thing they successfully sell is technology and products as third party supplier.

Their only announcements are how they are expanding business and investing in the future, but rarely any news of valuable partnerships, dominating the market and exceeding at certain field.

I am very supportive of this company, but there is less and less good news, and more and more optimistic promises being made.

Don't get me wrong, they are a huge startup with the right mindset and expertise, but they didn't excel at one single thing other than investment collecting, and yet another high profile project is set to flourish in two years...

I could understand they are just fishing for another round of investments to catch up to some masterplan. Extreme expansion and growth without significant results can only result in an explosive burst.

Arnold‘s story is amazing, but he was surrounded with like minded people at least as much determined to achieve what he did, yet they never did come close to his heights.

There are examples of genetically predispositioned individuals in a lot of sports or competitive activities, and though amazing, we ought to differentiate pure will with blessings of nature, and celebrate the qualities that should be celebrated.

Arnold was a literal and figurative beast, no doubt in that.

This process for finding right movie takes effort and many aspects, while the streaming service only has my watching/browsing history and rating system which I don’t bother participating in.

I think it might get better if they become more intrusive, though.

I can emphatize, though, if the feeling corresponds to what I feel participating in this thread.

I think it’s more funny you choose a rhetoric that suits your lifestyle and your needs, and dismiss that it might be helpful for people who don’t find alcohol culture appealing.
