This is cool, I built something similar a while back. I originally wanted the screen to dim when I slouched but I couldn't get access to dimming on OSX. I ended up just playing a noise when I slouched. It became so distracting I stopped using it.

The blurring of the screen is a much better idea.


Even if all the electricity for EVs came from a centralized coal plant (it doesn't) it would be better than using combustion in individual vehicles. Centralized pollution in one area is better than attempting to mitigate diffuse pollution everywhere.


Coal power plants are also massively more efficient than ICE cars. They can run consistently at their optimum rpm rather than start stop usage.


One other decent argument I heard in favor of EVs is that they’re agnostic to where that power is generated. So once that coal plant is replaced with natural gas, solar, wind, or whatever, all the EVs in that area will instantly become cleaner without everyone having to buy a new car after the changes is made.


This is the key. It basically makes existing EVs retroactively more green.

On the other hand you can't do that with combustion vehicles, trying to legislate more environmental regulations to existing cars is political suicide.

Even if he was not involved in engineering whatsoever, his ability to attract talent, direct capital, and drive innovation is unmatched.


Musk’s ability to attract talent and capital is undeniable - but it’s not unmatched, and it comes at a cost. Innovation driven by charisma and chaos isn’t sustainable, especially when it veers into ideological distortion.


Breathing also increases oxidative stress but no one is going to tell you to breathe less


why would that be?


No real reason. Just pointing out that the parent argument cuts both ways.


16S sequencing doesn't reveal a mechanism, it indicates a narrow genomic pattern that may or may not be relevant.

A long time ago I encountered someone that I didn't fancy who was looking for this. I wish I had known that it existed. Many thanks.

well done


Few short learning performance scales with model size. Afaik they don't see a plateau yet and the race is on the ingest more data and come up with better tuning techniques.

That's not how bitcoin works


That’s exactly how bitcoins works.

As a miner, if I see two conflicting transactions I will prioritize the one which pays more rather than the one I saw first.


So can I avoid the attack by voluntarily paying a super high fee?


The attacker can see what fee you are offering, so they just offer higher


Assuming it’s higher than the bot can post, yes.


Yeah unless the miner favors the other transaction for personal reasons.
