☕ David Antoine Out of curiosity, anyone on the Nostr network? Seems to get a lot of traction lately... Whether it will succeed or not is another story as always, the social network landscape is overcrowded.

Zero Edge After "the plugin" reveal it is pretty clear OpenAI's vision is to be a monopoly (or duopoly like IOS) where every business on earth will have to create a "plugin" to have functionality with their website/system. This plugin will likely cost the business money to list. So they are expecting us to replace a decentralized internet with a centralized one controlled by a single entity. Imo this won't work. One large company with leverage can simply say they won't make a plugin for "x LLM" instead we only support "y LLM" and then OpenAI will have the fun lesson of learning that betting it all on a monopoly is a stupid strategy.
đŸĻŋ Lucian Marin ChatGPT doesn't even have mobile apps and the site always asks me to login.

😀 Tom I appreciate the offer. I'm not sure I really have any specific questions at this time. I first thought about them years ago, and it's just been an on-and-off curiousity since then. There is a local float center, so I supose I just need to try it at least once. I like the idea of medition, and I thought it could be used for relaxation, though I'm not sure at this point. I used to sauna for a while when I had the opportunity, and that was pretty relaxing. I guess I have a question: do you think it could be used for relaxing (any for the body besides just the mind)?
Derek Sivers Probably different for everyone. I'm a very relaxed guy, so when friends tell me that accupuncture or massage or hot stones or various other things work for them, I always try it out of curiosity, for the life experience. But really nothing has been super-relaxing to me... EXCEPT: going back and forth between super-hot and super-cold pools a few times - each one staying in as long as I can stand it. Now THAT melts me. Everything else has been just "eh". sive.rs/sauna

đŸĻŋ Lucian Marin You can use it as an app if you add it to home screen from Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android.

đŸĻŋ Lucian Marin I changed the way unfeeder.com fetches articles. It's faster, new articles every couples of minutes. It doesn't depend on the Facebook API any longer. I can provide a JSON API for iOS and Android developers.

😀 Tom No one makes anything user-friendly anymore. Not iOS, not Android, not even cars or microwaves. WTF is going on?

🎛ī¸ Mesut Ucar This "Dust" channel is amazing. Thank you !
☕ David Antoine You're welcome! Not all of the shorts are good there of course but once in a while, a gem appears... It's a pity Oats Studios don't do more stuff also. On that note, Neil Blomkamp confirmed he is doing District 10. Hope it will be as good as District 9...

Rsm Somebody told me to do APK for Mac but I'm a lowly user, no idea what that's about. For Mac Telegram is only available through Google Play.
☕ David Antoine I don't know, I don't think there is clean way to convert an APK to an IPA for iOS. The OS are completely different. And I don't know of any virtualization tool you can install on iOS to run APKs if you need to. I know about Project Sandcastle to install Android on an iPhone but it's limited to old models, needs jailbreak and comes w/ a lot of limitations. Not worth the hassle.

☕ David Antoine Have some of you watched 'Love Death & Robots'? I'm at ep.7 'Beyond the Aquila Rift'. Of all the characters, you can see they put a lot of resources to the modeling and animation of Greta (based on American actress Madeleine Knight). The result is pretty astonishing. I was impressed. The uncanny valley is much more present w/ the others. Also made me want to read the novels. It's pretty incredible to see what VFX studios are capable to do now (provided talent and resources).

👉 LÊo I like the idea of exoskeletons for rehabilitation (e.g. make paraplegic people walk again) but I dislike human enhancement stuff. Why use an exoskeleton to lift 1000 lbs? Just use a remote controlled robot, or a fork lift! Want to run at 60 mph? Use a car! Just imagine if something goes wrong with the control system or the freaking battery connector fails while the user is lifting 1000 lbs above their head.
🗨ī¸ Fui That's a very grounded argument you have there. Never thought it like that before. And it makes much sense once you think about it from a practical point of view. All tech fails at some point. And your scenarios, though focusing on very fringe instances, are entirely within the realm of possibility.
