I've never tried a fasted state like that unfortunately so I couldn't say.

My pediatric neurologist at the time actually suggested trying some wine (with adult supervision of course) because some people seemingly respond well to that. But I've of course tried all kinds of alcohol by now years later and none seem to do the trick.

Another doctor more recently also suggested trying CBD (non THC) but no obvious improvement from that either, although I really only ever tried one type of CBD supplement and maybe it wasn't the right dosage.

OK but as a high school student I never drank coffee or smoked and I wasn't the type who eats out/unhealthy foods often.

My grandfather on the other end of the spectrum and who also had it didn't do those things either.

I've tried multiple things over the years with no improvement.

Are there any studies with results showing this as a suitable way to reduce tremors?

I have essential tremor. Hearing about new treatment options is exciting. At one time my pediatric neurologist basically said the only kind of treatment had real nasty side effects, and most recently the prescription pill I tried also presented side effects that weren't worth it.

I'm going to look into this when I can. would love to try it if it's financially feasible.

ETA: Looking at their website and all the models in the photos are older people...

As someone diagnosed with ET since high school that's kind of funny.

I have the last gen Apple TV 4K and I just don't see enough reason to upgrade.

It doesn't even look like this supports 120hz, which would've been nice since my OLED TV does.

at my last job I joined in 2022 and was one of the last to get an allowance to pay for most of a nice desk. the policy stopped soon after. meanwhile my current role I began this year has no policy whatsoever.

it's an interesting idea for sure but there's always been a plethora of homebrew emulators for the PSP. do they not work well anymore? Or does the Pi just have more modern emulator options?

Just using subagents was a pretty useful gain. My only issue is sometimes I forgot to tell the agent to use them. Probably need a hook or skill to do it so I don't need to remember.

I always wish more games were clever when using time travel as a mechanic. Prince of Persia did a pretty good job and I enjoyed one particular mission in Titanfall 2 that incorporated it.

Imagine you have application code with a function to parse some json. But every time you decide to use it, you re-implement the entire function. This is despite it working the same way every time.

It's not like it's being rewritten for efficiency. "Just because".

I think whichever one is used, there needs to be a way to enforce what's written.

If I say "use jq instead of writing a python script to parse json" it should never write adhoc python scripts to parse json. Yet that constantly happens to me anyway.

what are you using for a Maps app if not Apple? Google is (probably) much worse and does pretty much all the same things. Even in nav mode it shows a bunch of sponsored pins like chain restaurants or stores.

I follow baseball and multiple members of the team I watch have had articles written about death threats they get. For instance https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/article/mlb-threat...

I do something similar. But where I change it up a bit is depending on plan complexity I divvy up parts of the implementation to different subagents with fresh, only relevant context for whatever they're responsible for doing (e.g. a part of that plan). Edit: to clarify, I will also go back and forth with the planning agent making sure edge cases are covered. Sometimes that involves invoking a new subagent without our planning context to validate it without preconceptions.

I personally still find planning a valuable mental exercise; it's not so different from pre-LLMs and whiteboarding or otherwise taking the time to consciously plan a set of work.

One of my favorite Youtube channels, Mighty Car Mods, had a video a while back where they chose to use all hand tools for one of their car build projects instead of power tools.

For guys like those you can't really make an argument that they don't care about the craft when they use power tools 90% of the time normally.

So are LLMs a short cut? sure. Does that mean people using them don't care about the craft? not necessarily.

I'd love to spend more time actually learning iOS development. It's just that I work in a different area for my regular job and when I get home I don't have the time (due to various responsibilities) to sit down and spend adequate time on iOS.

No sense of victory?

I'm still surprised sometimes at how rapidly I can prototype something. Is it always shippable? No. But something that would've taken me an amount of time I can't afford to is much quicker.

This past weekend I decided to build an iOS app as a personal project. Normally I wouldn't have the time to work on one like that but I was able to get a working POC that is actually usable for my trivial use case in a matter of hours.

I'd call that a victory.

Except that is not the definition of "public transportation" being used in this context; OP is clearly referring to transportation that the public uses to commute. They're hardly referring to its ownership.

this is HN not reddit. no need for snarky replies.

What exactly did you eat the entire time? tonkatsu and karaage?

there's plenty of great home style food that isn't fried.. nikujaga, gyusuji, nikudofu, etc.

Public transit there is pretty great. If anything the lack of escalators for some stations can be unmotivating to some people but on the other hand walking a lot of flights of stairs is healthy.

even people I know who are supposedly in it for the love of programming inevitably care about the amount of money.

Apologies. I guess my main question is just is there a benefit to routing directly to a provider through its own harness vs just sending chat requests to those providers using OpenRouter or similar as a proxy?

As per your response it sounds like at least caching would happen for any provider regardless of the request's origin.

Say I'm using Claude Code or GPT Codex's harnesses but also sending some queries to the respective Anthropic and OpenAI models via OpenRouter.

Do harnesses and therefore sending the queries directly to the LLM providers have caching and other benefits that OpenRouter does not provide? Would I get any of those benefits if I simply proxied any requests to the major providers' harnesses through OpenRouter? Or only if the requests go straight from the harness to the provider's API?

I'm waiting for the Apple Health app support. Supposedly it's coming sometime in the fall. The Google app is ok but I don't use the AI features.

I'm not sure if proper Apple Health would help with this but Google tends to be delayed at automatic recognition of activities (e.g. I take a walk it can be an hour or two until it processes automatically). Apple would recognize a walk as I was on it.

I recently (June) bought an Air too to replace my 5 or 6 year old Apple Watch.

I'm enjoying it for the same reasons. Longer battery life. More comfortable when I'm sleeping since it has no buttons or weird bulky shape.

I do wish Apple would make their own version of it with apple pay.

Logo in either elementary or middle school in the early 00's was my first experience writing any code. Good times.

I really just want an Apple version of the new Fitbit Air.

I had an Apple Watch for five years. Battery didn't even last a day.

I realized generally I have my phone or laptop with me all the time anyway, I don't need a watch with weather or app widgets.

So in June I bought the fitbit air and it's great. Battery life lasts about 6-7 days. No distracting screen. MUCH more comfortable to sleep with since it has no buttons and a smaller form factor.

If Apple made their own version of the Air but with Apple Pay I would switch back over in a heartbeat.

The number of people who buy junk food on credit they can't pay off is pretty much unfathomable at least in the USA. There are plenty of people for whom "$3 / day" is something they very realistically can't afford.

they're definitely hoping the people who can't afford it simply lease it like an expensive car.

My point was with respect to brainrot being depressing but existing for a long time before AI. Not resource use.

How many memes/gifs do you think have been created by hand or with generators over the last ~20 years?
