I’m convinced consciousness isn’t the special thing we think it is.

On a related note, for those interested, a quick about Peto’s Paradox was quite fun.

I think the romance of authenticity is something only old people like me got to experience e.g. the early days of thefacebook. It died a few short years(?) after when the algorithms took over.

MiraLAX (or any of the generics) three times a week does this for me, and according to my doc is safe to drink for the rest of my life. Good luck soldier.

Just a heads up, the EcoBee doesn’t use a CO2 sensor, it just guesses what the value is. I have the same thermostat and was getting wildly different readings than my more expensive AirThings View Plus. Checked the EcoBee support website[1] and it made a lot more sense.

“Based on the VOC measurement, it can also estimate carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The sensor doesn’t directly measure CO2 but assesses CO2 levels based on the average correlation between VOCs and CO2 in exhaled human breath.”

This is great, thanks for sharing!

This is excellent, thank you.

I was in the overeating column (4000+ calories a day, no sugar drinks) and going into month 3 I am fighting to hit 1500 every day except the day before shot day and shot day. YMMV of course, but it is very effective for me so far.

Even before AI, bots were inevitable. Take Reddit for example, bots farming karma in every large subreddit, indistinguishable to the average user. I think the concept of an implicitly trusting public square is mostly gone and it’s probably the smart thing to be very skeptical of what you’re reading/interacting with. Nowhere with a text input field has been safe for a long time. With recent developments in AI, audio, images, and video are out the window too.

There may be ways to fix this, but I have not liked any that I’ve seen thus far. Identity verification is probably the closest thing we’ll get.

Ancient footage, they fixed this bug

they said most, not all

I absolutely can not do 10 minutes. I can barely run for 2 minutes without gasping for breath. I’d wager a majority of Americans are in the same boat as me. The obesity epidemic here is real. This solution is not as universal as you may think.

> What they fail to note is that Autopilot can ONLY be on while driving on a limited access highway.

This isn’t true anymore

Same with most "higher" education. Just hoop jumping.

If you’re stalking someone there are effective alternatives with much lower exposure risk.

Yea, as a development build

I’m curious, why?

This assumes a rational population, which as we know, doesn’t exactly exist.

Neither does being a doormat.

Security Engineer here… after reading through this trainwreck of a comment section it was nice to get a laugh, thanks for that.

context switching is the mind killer

You’ve made excellent points about why we shouldn’t be trying to emulate the human brain. I’m sure, collectively, we can come up with something better.

Makes sense, good way of framing it!

Yep, I look at food as an escape and my BMI is 44.1

I am sorry you are going through this. Thank you for sharing.

It’s strange, I haven’t experienced the memory leaks but now you’ve got me curious.

Simply because sugar is more calorie dense.

They announced Belkin is making a car mount that uses the magnets in the phone so they’re strong enough for that it seems

A never ending one, certainly.

In the United States it is far from solved.
