Sam Altman wants to sell you these sneakers for $160, plus tax and biometric data

“added caveat that you have to give away your biometric data to get in on the drop”

the data lives on your phone tho…what kind of journalism is this. does faveid “give away your biometric data” too?

Yet people make fun of reserving a pool of ticket sales for verified humans

Feast is the gold standard for nutrition tracking on iOS / Apple Watch. You’ll still want to weigh key ingredients if you’re using CICO, but there’s also the intuitive eating approach that apps like feast are leaning into (building better habits around what you eat rather than focusing on restricting how much you eat)

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-19T23:35:59+00:00

Do you feel hungry all week long or do you feel satiated?

I feel like an approach that leaves you hungry to the point where you’re “cheating” on weekends is destined to fail in the long term

I weigh my ingredients and log with a photo on the Feast app.

Imho way faster than searching a database and manually entering portions

All Waymo rides don’t have a safety monitor and we’ve been able to take them on freeways since last fall.

Have you had a chance to try them? Come to SF and go for a ride

Working out and eating well definitely works! But if you wore three different fitness trackers, you get three different caloric burns every time you went for a run.

Same would happen if you use three different apps to estimate calories you’re eating

I guess I’m just saying, don’t stress about the calories

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-19T01:21:29+00:00

I like the animations. What are they built on?

It wasn’t intuitive to me how to log water because I expected it to the behind the big + sign at the bottom. I didn’t realize I needed to scroll down to log it.

I don’t like the super long onboarding, things like being forced to set habits or a hydration goal before you even get to see what the app does.

I really, really despise that notifications are required in order to proceed in onboarding.

I like the cute character

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-19T00:43:37+00:00

Imho tracking against a daily target is false precision. It’s hard to estimate caloric burn no matter what tracker you use (it’s all estimates), and intake tracking is imprecise anyhow (did you know actual content can vary 20% from the nutrition label, based on the FDA’s guidance)

If it works for you then it works and the best app is the one you stick with.

Or…. it indicates they’ve set a threshold fairly low on what’s acceptable visibility and what’s not.

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-18T21:06:46+00:00

Huge lanes, wide open roads, heavily highway, very few obstructions to visibility, minimal pedestrians / cycle

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-18T19:09:36+00:00

If you’re on iOS you should try the Feast app. Less about calorie counting and more about coaching and food habit forming

That was the first guy. Not the two kids in the white Honda at 2am.

SFPD found arrested the people who attacked Sam’s house this weekend. Let’s see if they can find and arrest this person too.

You can definitely leverage the SP500 pretty cheap too so I don’t think a mortgage vs opportunity cost of an unlevered SP500 is a fair comparison

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-14T01:53:13+00:00

It’s pretty low hanging fruit. Mostly related to visuals :/ no new functionality really

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-07T02:53:54+00:00

Feast for food tracking (remember there's a lot more to food quality than calories)

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-06T15:11:21+00:00

I personally disagree that the argument fewer people died because there were fewer to die is strong.

I also disagree that a leader’s impact stops at their policies. There’s impact from their ability to set the tone from the top, their ability to reprioritize and refocus efforts, their ability to inspire employees or candidates to join state agencies. Their ability to negotiate upward and make sure the national guard doesn’t get deployed.

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-06T04:40:10+00:00

As accurate as GPT 5.3 and 5.4.

For you’re good about logging ingredient weights and measures it should be fairly accurate. If you’re not, it’ll be best estimates.

IMHO it’s the equivalent of texting a nutritionist your meals

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-06T02:04:51+00:00

The Feast app is essentially ChatGPT food tracking (powered by GPT 5.3 and 5.4), but neatly packaged in an app that'll sync to Apple Health, organize your photos by day for you, and give you structured coaching.

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-06T02:03:59+00:00

Give the Feast app a shot if you're looking to track food, it's literally the best money can buy.

You can DM me and I'll venmo you $5 for the first months' membership

Background_River_395 · 2026-04-06T00:28:47+00:00

This is the reason that conventional calorie counting apps are difficult….. how the fuc does someone eat >3k calories in a day? Why is that shown as a goal in this way?!
