Oh, any time! It wasn't really directed at you folks, though. Just general musings. Is there a blog or central location for updates, btw? Roadmap?
Not really, it’s time I set one up though.
Currently mostly focused on KnowYourself.ai (hope to fund Peepeth development with that).

Had an issue uploading a gif (said the name was invalid... weird). Let's see how a Giphy small gif media link works! https://media.giphy.com/media/rVbAzUUSUC6dO/200w_d.gif
There was a gif-related bug, so gif uploads are temporarily disabled.

Someone that has a hard time understanding what a VPN does, for example, is about as far from understanding blockchain as it gets. I think I can qualify myself as fairly tech savvy and I still get lost at times.
It’s has a long way to go indeed.
The next major feature will make onboarding without a wallet possible, which should help. Existing users can enable this feature in settings (to sign in with email address only).

I still don't think I've found a really good, clear, ELI5-style how-to, explanation, and FAQ about the whole thing. So much knowledge is just presumed (and very rarely actually exists).
Still working on that :) appreciate the feedback!

That blurb was written by an AI, OpenAI's GPT-2, which was released on Nov 5: https://openai.com/blog/gpt-2-1-5b-release/ I generated that blurb with the prompt "Rooibos tea benefits". Try out GPT-2 here: https://talktotransformer.com/
The AI-generated blurb is probably not factual, but rooibos does apparently have many benefits: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/rooibos-tea-benefits

Are you a tea drinker? What kind do you like? I've been enjoying rooibos recently (technically speaking an herbal tea). Nice caffeine-free alternative with many purported health benefits.

Today iOS prompted me to enable do not disturb right before a scheduled meeting. Must be a new feature.
Interesting. They've done that for awhile when driving-like activity is detected, too.

I think Peeple works really well. Peepers kinda sounds creepy.
Hehe, true. My early inclination was peepers but I see where you’re coming from. Peeps can work too, but then what would posts be called?

@bevan Hi Bevan, have you considered claiming peep.eth through ENS for future web3 implementation instead of relying on some subdomain? It's still available.
Thanks for the reminder.

The trick is in staying focused and not allowing yourself to get tired. I can do all night now on one cup of coffee. But plan your tasks - no point trying to code if your brain is too tired. Eyestrain / dry eyes from screens is what normally gets me 🤓
Having a plan written out is really helpful.
How much time do you spend planning / prioritizing, relative to the actual work?

That’s what you get for staying up coding functionality until 3am
The late night wasn't worth it. Messed up my sleep schedule. Still, was fun to code late into the night and reminded me of college.

https://www.wired.com/story/karl-friston-free-energy-principle-artificial-intelligence/ Article from about a year ago that discusses Karl Friston's lifestyle and his Free Energy Principle. If you're curious about "theories of everything" and aren't aware of this yet, set aside 30 mins to read it as this theory may be around for a very long time.

I see. I usually keep my Fridays for a day long fast, feels good. I really like how @peepeth used Thich Nhat Hanh's mindfulness built into it, amazing.
I'm glad you like it! I flipped to that page randomly one day, and thought it would be perfect for Peepeth.
Replying to @arin_basu (0x8747a369e279c501aae4c97fb43eaea8fb42ba55)
Is it intermittent fasting or what?
Yes, a 24-hour fast. It's not a big deal (I do late lunch to late lunch- not really missing much), but has been a worthwhile experiment. It saves time on fasting day, I can be more productive, and it's apparently healthy.
Replying to @jm9k (0xa7bd09daab3eb5ec96f04914d94c47681489d604)
How long you going for this time?
It was my weekly 24-hour fast. I've been doing this for a few months now and it's become a habit.

#lkie It would be cool to make a list of points like this, and under each one, list quotes from everyone who's said it.
Time passes more slowly when fasting.
Avocado with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is a good combo.

Their strategy to make people confuse: publish lots of bullshit self-help books, put these above the good ones and say all self-help books are shitty.
That niche does seem to have a branding problem. What are your favorites?

In NZ, we observe daylight saving time, but it is reverse of what you have in the northern hemisphere as seasons are reversed. Trust it maximizes available sunlight to get your work done.
That makes sense.
Apparently, the day with the most traffic accidents is the day daylight saving takes effect in the spring (in the US at least), on account of people getting an hour less sleep.
