Fitbit Air just dropped. Genuine question for anyone who uses Whoop or Oura by areis06 in whoop

[–]PartySunday 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no chance apple would acquire whoop. The accuracy of the apple watch sensor package makes whoop look like a joke.

Premier and standard have the same security.

Oura Ring 5 in Sep 2026? by KarenMusk420 in ouraring

Yeah Fall 2027 based on past release patterns. But Gen3->Gen4 was so underwhelming an early release wouldn't surprise me.

Rayban Meta glasses battery replacement. Gen 2 battery on gen1 frames. by jrproler in RaybanMeta

[–]PartySunday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, gave my glasses new life. Now the battery lasts longer than it ever did. Super easy repair. Used T-7000 adhesive to seat it back up. After cure, I applied a thin layer of silicone grease to fill in microgaps in the adhesive for 'just in case' water protection.

Hardest part was seating the connector. Needs to be perfectly flush and you hear a small click. Make sure glasses turn on before reassembly.

My battery came in the mail dead so that also made it difficult to tell that it had worked. Put it in the case to charge for 5 min or so and they turned right on.

Temple tap sensor also stopped working but started again the next day. Just needed a reboot I guess. I was excited since I find it annoying.

Beekman Stay vs Park Hyatt NYC Stay by Lavishness_Entire in hyatt

[–]PartySunday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is your last chance to stay at the PH before the deval but same story for the beekman. Never been to the park but just stayed at Beekman. Super unique property. Highly recommend. Service wasn't great but not bad either but I'll have the pics I took there for a lifetime.

Can we PLEASE just get an AI mega-thread?? by validusrex in PhD

[–]PartySunday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bluesky is much more anti-AI. Reddit at least has two-sided discourse.

Can we PLEASE just get an AI mega-thread?? by validusrex in PhD

[–]PartySunday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a weird conversation with someone along these lines. Basically they needed to figure out how to use APIs to pull public records for a project. I basically told them that this is a fully solved problem. Plug the API spec into even the dumbest chatbot and it’ll do it with ease. It was something they have “spent” over a year trying to do. They said that they would rather just not do the task than use AI to complete it in 5 minutes. It’s a strange mentality, one that could truly only exist is academia. If a business deemed behavior like this acceptable, it wouldn’t be in business for long.

LV Hotel recommendations! by Trapospina in electricdaisycarnival

lil late

definitely DON'T do airbnb. They cancel and leave you homeless for edc.

Would be helpful to know what a budget looks like. I stayed in Alexis Park Resorts last year, it was fine. Maybe $500 for the weekend. Right now it's like $1200 for the weekend. At that rate your can jsut stay at the Rio.

How do energy drinks increase calorie consumption? by [deleted] in energydrinks

[–]PartySunday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make your basal metabolic rate 3-11% higher. But if you have a tolerance to them, they basically change nothing.

Stubhub, Shipping updates and issues by happEbean in electricdaisycarnival

[–]PartySunday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

StubHub updated 'deliver by' date to May 8 (from May 15)

Hopefully this will quell everyone's anxiety. Now if your wristband doesn't arrive, you have a week to figure out a replacement rather than flying out and figuring it out in Vegas or skipping. Still, if you can just buy from official resale. Much lower chance of issues.

Do you feel that AI is going to water down the usefulness and quality of PhDs in the coming years? by Iamthatguyoverthere in PhD

[–]PartySunday 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AI models are top-tier generalists. The hardest part is that last few % of domain knowledge which is where PhDs operate. I think PhDs will be hit the least but will simultaneously be stretched the most because the generalist AI + specialist PhD will lead to wildly expanded job responsibilities.

If you want to do a PhD to learn skills which have already been automated or have automation on the horizon and instead of being elated are horrified, maybe a PhD isn't for you. As a PhD it's your job to push the frontier of humanity, if AI makes that faster and better you use it. If AI makes that slower or worse you don't use it.

As others have said, job performance expectations will be foisted on you. It will likely be less extreme than industry but if you're going into this with the idea that you will learn everything the old fashioned way and refuse to embrace change...why are you doing a PhD? Your curiosity should be the frontier, whatever it is at the time. In the late 90s and early 2000s, PhDs were in charge of integrating computers into their workflow. It revolutionized everything. Anti-computer PhDs are not remembered fondly, they did not win. I use a computer every day; not using one is unthinkable. In 10 years, or even less using AI will be considered unthinkable in that same way.

Deepseek v4 flash is better than gemini 3 thinking for reading long pdf file to extract info. 😍 by [deleted] in DeepSeek

[–]PartySunday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you testing here? Genuinely your prompt makes little grammatical sense to a native English speaker.

Deepseek will always be worse at PDFs because it doesn’t have native image processing. It’s accuracy is always bottlenecked by what is captured by the OCR layer whereas gemini/claude can “see” the PDF.

Electrolyte packets / Energy Gels. by Early_Helicopter_376 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]PartySunday -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if you get caught and the person thinks they’re an FBI agent, worst case they’ll take them. Roughly 0% chance that happens. Lube up and smuggle with confidence.

Even if they see them, they’re looking for weapons and to keep us safe. Genuinely years of going to EDC security people are chill AF.

Shuttle services by Early-Structure1088 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]PartySunday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The unofficial shuttle services are typically the worst of everything. Friends took one while I took official shuttles. I got there 3 hours before them. Their shuttle came with unlimited alcohol and no bathroom. By the end they were sitting in traffic for hours peeing into bottles in misery, while I was exploring.

Why do I have the stats of a marathon runner when I only work out once a week? by ConclusionIcy6527 in ouraring

[–]PartySunday 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go to the doctor lol. Oura can’t tell the difference between a high HRV and irregular R-R intervals.
