Appreciate the feedback and will definitely keep these in mind.

Content such as blog posts take months to years for anything to come into fruition. A single 15 second tik tok talking about the app can get millions of hits within a 24 hour window. Not saying this will happen, but it has the highest risk/reward ratio and bang for buck. Almost sounds like I'm playing at a casino, but will keep you updated on this

I also have an instagram and pinterest which are doing pretty well, so it's not like I'm making no content. But I don't want to be posting crappy articles I spent a couple of hours writing, good articles they a lot of effort and the meditation space is very competitive on google. I've dabbled with SEO but am no expert by any means.

I'm also on a time constraint, have to get traction before and hit certain MMR before I graduate which is in a couple of months. But will definitely dig more into it.
This is a super cool product, congratulations. I especially like the extremely clear value proposition on the homepage. I know what this is and who it is for right away.

My first impression of the unnatural recording was that it must be that way to make it easier to get a good result, but then the result doesn't sound natural either. I think a lot of this is the drawn out uterrances made the speaker vary their pitch/cadence a lot more than usual. Once edited to remove the gap, the sudden change is very noticeable.

I don't think that's due to your software, but just a fact of the unnatural source audio. I think a different, more realistic source audio could let you have a really awesome example, without it being disingenuous or not representative of real-world results.

Thanks for jumping into the ring and answering questions in here!

"Experts" is synomim for politization of topics and create obedience.

Real experts have name and surname yet in my country they created groups of experts all the time for politicians to confirm their ideas.

"The experts" say we must raise taxes (in my area only personal income can be up to 54% of your earnings). I do know experts, without the quotes, who are totally against this tax abuse.

Also, for some reason, I did not see any expert yet for the taxing stuff or the pandemic medical teams that were supposed to exist and we did not get even names or surnames of them. Strange to say the least...

Now extend this to all areas possible that have political intereset and this is basically what "experts" are: excueses used by politicians of all colors to convict nce people of their stuff.
Lol not sure if you read the article, but retention numbers for the app are extremely good and I constantly get feedback that the app is super unique and not just "another meditation app".

There was interest, or it was simple enough to allow open source implementation to flourish. Even in 2008 there was plenty highly FLOSS to create and view PDF. Flash, OTOH, was a mess.

Also, PDF specification was available since 1993: https://web.archive.org/web/20150617123515/http://acroeng.ad...
Bickering over the mere interest seems to set the sights really low. If you have leverage enough to demand the interest, or any leverage, why not simply demand higher pay? It seems to me that any reasonable increase in pay would be much larger than any puny interest which a week’s wages can accrue over a week.

And if we're talking what we can do to best increase the wages paid to workers, it seems to me that we should first and foremost look at wage theft (wages owed to the employee but not paid), which I have heard is more than all other forms of theft, combined.
Almost. Occasionally you notice some small differences. But it’s impressive how close it is.

Nobody expected anything like supremacy in Go any time soon and then all of a sudden it happened. Maybe AI stagnates for a long time bow, maybe forever, maybe a big breakthrough happens tomorrow. Nobody knows, anyone confidently asserting anything is being foolish.
In Eudoxia, which spreads both upward and down, with winding alleys, steps, dead ends, hovels, a car­pet is preserved in which you can observe the city’s true form. At first sight nothing seems to resemble Eudoxia less than the design of that carpet, laid out in symmetrical motives whose patterns are repeated along straight and circular lines, interwoven with brilliantly colored spires, in a repetition that can be followed throughout the whole woof. But if you pause and examine it carefully, you become con­vinced that each place in the carpet corresponds to a place in the city and all the things contained in the city are included in the design, arranged according to their true relationship, which escapes your eye dis­tracted by the bustle, the throngs, the shoving. All of Eudoxia’s confusion, the mules’ braying, the lampblack stains, the fish smell is what is evident in the incomplete perspective you grasp; but the carpet proves that there is a point from which the city shows its true proportions, the geometrical scheme implicit in its every, tiniest detail.

It is easy to get lost in Eudoxia: but when you concentrate and stare at the carpet, you recognize the street you were seeking in a crimson or indigo or ma­genta thread which, in a wide loop, brings you to the purple enclosure that is your real destination. Every inhabitant of Eudoxia compares the carpet’s immobile order with his own image of the city, an anguish of his own, and each can find, concealed among the arabesques, an answer, the story of his life, the twists of fate.

An oracle was questioned about the mysterious bond between two objects so dissimilar as the carpet and the city. One of the two objects—-the oracle replied—-has the form the gods gave the starry sky and the orbits in which the worlds revolve; the other is an approximate reflection, like every human cre­ation.

For some time the augurs had been sure that the carpet’s harmonious pattern was of divine origin. The oracle was interpreted in this sense, arousing no controversy. But you could, similarly, come to the opposite conclusion: that the true map of the uni­verse is the city of Eudoxia, just as it is, a stain that spreads out shapelessly, with crooked streets, houses that crumble one upon the other amid clouds of dust, fires, screams in the darkness.

I would read an article with a quick history of this particular formula (who came up with it, who enforces it), what people think of it, how accurate it is in respect to the actual movement of heat, etc. Does it account for heat rising irt mutilevel buildings?

> If you showed somebody from 1921 a page of text produced by GPT-3, told them that it was written by a machine, and then told them that we'd made no progress towards artificial intelligence, they'd laugh in your face.

You can actually do it. 100 year old people usually don't follow news on artificial intelligence, so they will act genuine.

I wonder if there isn't some fundamental misunderstanding here. What if it's not "just the neurons". If you found a Regency TR-1 radio you could wonder "how can this 4-transistor device produce a continuous stream of music, much like Spotify, which requires billions of transistor to run?". Of course, the radio also has an antenna, which is a completely different device than a transistor.

The device running Spotify may also have an antenna, but I hope you get the analogy. My analogy is not meant to be taken faithfully, so that we need to start looking for antennas now instead of neurons. I am just saying that maybe the neuron-counting game is not the only thing. Maybe there is something else -- not magical, not divine, but physical and as-of-yet unknown. Humanity didn't always know everything, and maybe still doesn't.
Your last sentence about an entire year's salary suggests that you may not understand the original commenter's point. I'll try to explain it.

In the United States, employers generally issue paychecks for work performed in the preceding period of 1-2 weeks. So most employees are advancing their labor to their employers, on the promise that they will be eventually paid for that work, at the end of that pay period.

The conceptual alternative has nothing to do with annual salary... It would look more like employers issuing daily paychecks, at the end of each workday. Or, employers would keep the pay period system, but pay employees an additional amount to compensate for the loan of their daily labor for the time until the next payday.

Do you get it, now?

8086 was inelegant from the beginning. PDP-11 was elegant. It could have had a better chance.

OTOH PDP-11 was very heavily invested in operating directly in RAM; a lot of commands could operate on RAM, and MOV could even have two indirect RAM operands (registers have address of addresses of the operands). Considering the memory wall we've started to hit like 20 years ago, such an architecture would have a rather hard time competing with RISC.
Yeah same here, I also always jokingly wondered why the CS curriculum doesn’t include history of CS, similar to history of wizardry in Harry Potter but the older I get, the more i think this would be a reasonable idea, if it would discuss what we tried and what did and didn’t work.
Yes I would agree with that, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying. As an example, the NZ government is currently funding grants to reduce carbon emissions in livestock by 10%, which is an easily achievable target with current technology but the knowledge of how to do it isn't widespread.

A lot of this progress is unfortunately going to fall to governments and grants like this, which is probably where any carbon mitigation company needs to concentrate rather than venture capital. Once the claims about cost reduction can be proved, agriculture will follow soon enough.

Other industries will have similar grant schemes.

We DO have PB-grade storage facilities and they lack full AI. Moving the memory inside a single box instead of having interconnected devices is not going to bring AI just like that.
I don't agree with that. Any opportunity to make a 10% reduction in carbon emission that also saves you money should be pursued, and there should be a lot of them out there.

Unless you live across the street from the hospital it's just less hassle to do it that way. Any injury not worthy of an ambulance can be cleaned, glued and taped in the time it would take to sit in the waiting room while they serve all the people who are dying faster.
Did you actually read the article? The author simply asks critics to give the full context (psychological problems) when attacking the author. The author clearly takes full responsibility for their actions.

The Munich Linux/Windows saga is an endless story: they switched from Windows to Linux, then Microsoft started a huge lobbying campaign, including moving its German headquarters in Munich, and the Munich council backpedaled away from Open Source software, but it looks like they're now attempting it again.

A HTML subset allowing client-side choice of presentation to the extent of Gemini would not even allow nested divs for layout, or top header bars (static or floating). It's a spartan choice that even most static blogs don't supply by default. IMO the ability for a client to render a page beautifully without page-supplied styling is essential (reader mode is a pile of heuristics they often fail), but pages do get monotonous and sites indistinguishable, with no server styling whatsoever.
Yes, Chris was pretty cool.

Just to clarify, the engineer in that meeting was Peter Vosshall. I wanted to quote the sentence about Amazon rather than the person.

Also, I was a newbie at the time (probably still am) & I consider myself lucky to be in the meeting. They probably let me in on the meeting because I didn’t mind carrying the pager as much. :)
Would people reccomend this as a way to cement an understanding of Python / OOP in general? I’m typically more geared towards data science style scripting use cases and want to explore more problem focused programming.
Right, but there was never an asterisk. There was slavery, and a set of ideals which were ultimately incompatible with it, and a bunch of people who wanted to keep profiting from it.

No asterisks. Just a disagreement which was settled by a war.

But why is individual liberty more important than collective thinking? Many places do very well with collectivism. I'm not sure you can just say it's better without evidence. I think it depends on many factors whether individualism or collectivism is best for a particular location and problem.
900km is 15 km further than the longest RAGBRAI (550 miles) ever. And that is done over 7 days.

I've ridden the full RAGBRAI three times and know from personal experience that your body turns into an insatiable caloric furnace after the second day. Pancakes, pasta, ice cream, steak and pork chop sandwiches, gallons of water and of course, nightly carbo loading. All grist for the mill.

But this, this is at a whole other level.

800-900 calories per hour == 19,200 to 21,600 calories in 24 hours. Which, btw, does not turn off just because you stop. It probably took 2 days just to taper down his body's panic alarm. Not to mention sleep and muscle recovery.

They don't need to. The only alternatives to YouTube are social media platforms like Twitter, FB, IG and TikTok.

There's a million things wrong with that* but my main quarrel is that they're not searchable. YouTube may be closed off and may have a limited API but it still has discovery outside of the platform and videos can be downloaded.

*Like no one uploading let's plays, repair tutorials, indie songs, etc.

The benefit of YouTube is its past content. We're trapped.
For sure. The whole thing feels like a happy accident that fell out of how NextStep was built.
The longest I've ridden is from Long Beach, CA to San Diego, which is about 170 km. Started at 5am and arrived at 5pm. I remember the first half of the trip to have nice scenery. I don't remember the second half at all, as I zoned out and contemplated the mistake I had made as I kept pedaling.
XP's behaviour is interesting in this case. It's one of the few things I actually like about Vista (sue me, I like things about Vista): Vista will abort the shutdown, but XP will hang for an unspecified length of time, when you have an event handler that makes a blocking call like `alert`.
I have recently wondered if there is a way to guarantee that a processor is idling. By this I mean, is there a way to ensure another computer has been idle for a time when it promises that it has been. Kind of the opposite of a crypto mining problem.

When you're on the top floor, it's often a catch-22 to do this. Heating for the building can be controlled by a system that takes as input the temperatures from sensors in apartments on the top and bottom floors. So when you open the windows to lower the temperature in your apartment, the system will react by cranking up the heat for the building.
This is easier on dual sport motorcycles where it's easier to shift position while riding, as well as stand on the pegs to stretch out (at lower speeds of course).

I think that his performance on the TransAm bike race is more impressive. He rode 440km every day for 16 days straight across the USA. Aside from all the elevation change and weather, he did it fully self supported, meaning he had to carry all his food, sleep gear, etc.

The TransAm / Tour divide are pretty incredible races and fun to watch everyone's GPS trackers virtually on trackleaders.
