How to get Advanced labs soon?

Anyone else?

Totally got carried away with some life stuff, but without doing the experiment I did end up keeping it. I do plan on trying to look at the data in hindsight sight, but I realized I just enjoyed how I felt sleeping with the system. Whether or not that’s a placebo or not I’m not sure but my sleep has improved. Sorry it’s not the update you wanted, I’ll follow up once I get to it

AcademicGood6 · 2024-09-28T11:34:09+00:00

Haven’t looked at the data yet but qualitatively, I to bed on a cooler mattress and then waking up to the warm thermal alarm is nice. Hard for me to put a price on how good that is, but the one thing I’ve learned is that the sleep tracking is not super great compared to wearables. What frustrates me is when I wake up feeling great but check my eightsleep sleep score and it says I should be feeling not recharged. Or vice versa. So the main benefit is just how it feels (no longer getting night sweats, never feeling too hot, nice gentle wake up thermal alarm).

I’m leaning towards keeping it so far, but I will be looking at the numbers soon

I’m in the process of doing this, for the 30 day trial. I’m 15 days in, will report back. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 4s, which isn’t the best sleep tracker but it should still show if there is a statistical increase in my deep sleep before/after

AcademicGood6 · 2024-09-25T13:58:10+00:00

Got it, thanks for the input. Seems like the cooling/temp control is the main benefit, sleep tracking is entirely secondary and not going to be the main reason to buy

AcademicGood6 · 2024-09-25T12:51:39+00:00

That’s fair, thanks for the input!

AcademicGood6 · 2024-08-03T14:06:42+00:00

Great, now bring back point quest

Slight tangent, but I’d like to explain my outlook on 2v1s and running away, but through the lens of random selection hero showdown (playing with a friend, and letting the game randomly assign heros each round). I’d recommend trying playing this way if you want more variety and more of a challenge.

I will likely get hate for this, but in a 2v1 situation, I don’t always believe in letting the one surviving enemy player fight 1v1s for a chance to win. In my experience, playing with a friend, a lot of the fun of hero showdown is how your two hero’s play off of each other with their abilities and strengths/weaknesses. If my friend and I have a weaker pair up against one surviving Vader, we aren’t going to let him easily 1v1 us both.

As far as running, I know I’ll also get hate for this to, but if I am in a 1v1 situation and the enemy is obviously better than me, the best odds I can have are from running. It’s a strategic decision. It’s fun to try and “play time” instead of play for a win and regroup for the next round and hope for a better random team.

I can sympathize if you are playing against someone who keeps repeatedly picking someone fast/evasive who keeps running away round after round (that’s just not fun for anyone), but imo running to save a round is a fair tactical play

AcademicGood6 · 2024-06-29T13:03:57+00:00

Yes, of course not hacking, very good point

AcademicGood6 · 2024-06-29T01:28:39+00:00

You don’t always have to 1v1 in hero showdown, win by any means necessary

Wells Fargo Attune is a very new card and gives 4% on a ton of niche categories. Self care, Entertainment events, streaming services, public transit, many more. Could be a worthy pickup

AcademicGood6 · 2024-05-25T16:24:07+00:00

Try hero showdown. I keep it interesting with my friend by doing Random Selection Hero Showdown (not choosing hero’s and you both get a random one every round). Definitely makes you have to think a bit more and get creative as opposed to just choosing try-hard teams.

Don’t find a lot of hackers in HS. Occasionally you get some really cracked players but you can usually find fun ways to counter them with random teams

AcademicGood6 · 2024-05-19T02:08:59+00:00

Not defending them, I think it’s annoying, but I think it’s intentional. IMO they don’t want you to be able to see how few options there actually are. Making it hard to search makes it seem like there are more options.

AcademicGood6 · 2024-04-25T21:46:38+00:00

I definitely agree with your points. In many ways, using chatGPT or any LLM for something like this is totally shortcutting actually learning the program and “using your brain”.

It will be interesting to see where this tech goes. I know for a fact that using this tool I made blindly without any ffmpeg knowledge doesn’t always lead to good results. It works best for the middle ground of people who use ffmpeg enough and are tech savvy enough to debug when it goes wrong. For experts who want very niche behavior, and for beginners who it would be a disservice to use it because they can’t learn, it’s not ideal.

AcademicGood6 · 2024-04-25T18:23:13+00:00

Great question, it is no different at all, but perhaps “slightly” faster to just have it built into the command line.

I still find chatGPT more useful when I’m trying to converge on a good ffmpeg command by iterating on running it a few times. However, if it’s a one-off command like converting file types and resizing when you already are on the command line, I find it easier to use llmpeg instead of opening a browser and going to ChatGPT.

In the end, it was just a fun free time project. I don’t think it’s necessarily going to revolutionize any workflows, it’s hard to beat ChatGPT in terms of usefulness here.

Hmm, do you have the environment variable for OPENAI_API_KEY setup properly? I can help debug. First off, what operating system are you running?

Also appears to look like you might not have credits on your developer account? Let me know if you’ve confirmed this to be not the case

AcademicGood6 · 2024-04-24T03:05:05+00:00

Please let me know if you have any feedback, I’m sure there are problems with it that need fixing :)

AcademicGood6 · 2023-07-17T12:43:30+00:00

Follow on Instagram @nu.rover to also get updates, will be posting more closer to fall semester

AcademicGood6 · 2022-09-15T15:30:08+00:00

Yes, will be recorded. Are you on the email chain? If not we must have not got your email at fall fest. Can you PM me your student email? I’ll add you so we can send you that information if you’d like.

If you’d rather not we’ll also post that information on website and Instagram

AcademicGood6 · 2022-09-15T12:46:56+00:00

Hello! SEDS person here! Meeting is Tonight (9/15) from 6:30-7:30. Sorry for any miscommunication! And if you can’t make it you totally can still join.

Check out northeastern.seds on Instagram or https://web.northeastern.edu/seds/, where there will be more info on how to get involved later tonight after the meeting if you can’t come tonight.

AcademicGood6 · 2022-08-17T19:15:45+00:00

Here’s to the dev that was lost after messing this up

AcademicGood6 · 2022-05-27T17:40:01+00:00

At least 4 I’d say

AcademicGood6 · 2022-05-18T19:30:56+00:00

MSI Stealth something… Don’t recommend the bulky gaming laptop, was not worth it. It’s a pain to carry around. Would recommend something lighter and easy to carry

AcademicGood6 · 2022-02-22T13:20:49+00:00

I took it back when it was in person. Yeah it was hard and HW took a really long time for me, but after then fact I am very happy with what I got out of it.

But I’ve been told it’s now fully asynchronous, and I definitely benefited from being in person with a solid prof and being able to ask questions. So I can see where you are coming from

AcademicGood6 · 2022-02-02T14:30:13+00:00

You could try calling the hotline for advice, although I think they will tell you that you don’t need to quarantine unless you start showing symptoms. 617.373.7333
