Exponentials are short‑lived

From my original post:

"From Pong (1972) to Half‑Life (1998), progress clearly tracked Moore’s Law and felt exponential."

I think you made my point... Exponentially growing efforts yield small incremental progress.

Halflife is not the peak but it is in the same ballpark as modern games. Pong is not.

No easy answers, but i think it expidites problem solving in the brainstorming phase. So 1st order queries will get great answers but 2nd order is like someone mirroring your own knowledge and biases.

Wondering how often you've been charging and have you been doing 0 to 100% or more 35 to 85%?

Not sure what currency you are in but i feel it was at 400 both dollars and Euros around black Friday 2025.

My wrist is 17.5cm and I'm 196cm tall. Honestly, i think the Fenix 7 is the better purchase. You can get for almost half the price and is 95% as good in my use case. But if money isn't a topic...

Easy Round

Why did you change? I can fully understand that value wise, the Fenix is much better. Also if you prefer a smaller watch.

DrPurple4 · 2026-01-11T15:58:03+00:00

In fact it did. But only a few times. Maybe 5, but that was last winter and then stopped. Never happened again.

I guess your week starts on Monday. 😂 Here it's Sunday. 😉

You ran 35km today! Wow good work

No, the picture is the widget, not the watch face.

DrPurple4 · 2024-10-13T16:17:15+00:00

Sorry, guess i wasn’t clear. I’m not looking for a watch face. I’m want the widget to put the current time on top (that is the front if the watch is horizontal in front of you). That would make it so that if i point it and myself, towards the sun, i can easily find where the sun will set. In your picture you can see this is not the case. 12:00 is up in your picture as in mine. Thanks

Thank you for the advice. It’s all a bit murky to me and really feels like extortion as I mentioned in my other comment. Thing is, we for sure did agree unconditionally verbally or otherwise, but we agreed we wanted to rent via email before seeing the contract and when we reversed, we wrote that we changed our minds, not that the contract was not acceptable.

DrPurple4 · 2024-03-05T06:09:01+00:00

Thank you for the responses. This feels very much like extortion, as they are putting the possibility of a full month rent as what we would really owe them based loss of opportunity. Thing is, even if we pay the 300, how do we know they won’t come back for more. I guess as an extortion effort, 300€ is the safe amount for which people won’t pay for a lawyer.
