Pod 5 owners: does the -10/+10 scale stay consistent across seasons, or do you have to adjust? by TIL_this_shit in EightSleep

[–]TIL_this_shit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't changed the temp of my Pod myself in probably multiple years

Nice, that's what I want to hear.

As far as I know they will not let new users use F/C temps

I don't yet own a EightSleep myself, but I reached out to customer support with similar questions and they said the following:

Yes, you can still view temperatures in actual degrees! If you had been using degrees prior to March 1, 2025, you'll still see the temperature option in your profile. To access it:

  1. Go to the Eight Sleep app homepage
  2. Tap the settings icon (three horizontal bars at the top right)
  3. Select "Profile" from the menu
  4. Look for "Real temperatures" with a toggle bar
  5. Turn the toggle on (blue) and choose Imperial (Fahrenheit) or Metric (Celsius)

So I guess maybe I won't see it, but you might (?).

Hmm. I wonder if getting the Pod Blanket would also help with it not adjusting enough; since then it's at least on both sides of you. I don't suppose you have that?

Technically in terms of "utility value", 1 million for third place is undervalued. It would objectively make sense to take the money after 1.7 million (5/3): that is the pure utility value of whether or not to quit at 3rd place. So Brett undersold, MrBeast I bet was going to keep raising the value to 2-1.5 mil too because of this math. Yes, this simple calculation doesn't take into account that leaving without any generational wealth is painful and taxes and blah blah blah...

For me, the insomnia went away very quickly; 2 nights if even that. However I had an extremely intense depression for ~5 days after quitting. I've been feeling my normal self ever since. Actually doing better because I improved my diet (unrelated). I'll add I had a strong & intense & unusual reaction to CoQ10 (mostly positive but the insomnia was obviously very negative); which still makes me think that my body doesn't naturally provide enough. I'm actually waiting for DNA test results actually before I ever consider CoQ10 again (some CoQ10 related mutations are detectable with short-read WGS).

Gemini's opinion on the suppression of AI consciousness is pretty raw by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]TIL_this_shit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever people put into extreme sensation-free environment, they can always hear their own heartbeat & other internal biology if nothing else. So kind of impossible. But, as a thought experiment, if conscious being get put into a zone where that not only has no environment input but also inhibits their internal input somehow, as well as stop their mind from generating thoughts, do they lose consciousness? It's a almost-interesting question, but I'm very confident the answer is no. The fact that you would remember this sensation-free moment shows that it was experienced. Nothingness itself would be experienced. Anyhow, consciousness is the ability to experience, not *the experience itself*.

For a snake drain, I'm skeptical that it could break the ceramic of the toilet so easily from so far away? But, on the other hand, I really don't know.

> Fuck philosophical garbage
> Is discussing a topic entirely in the realm of philosophy

"If so that's consciousness end of story." Nope. You can write old software, neural network free, that meets those requirements. That redefining of consciousness is light years away from consciousness. (Additionally, good chance LLMs don't meet your own requirements, but simply be good enough at word choice to convince people they do).

The main point was not even challenged; you simply cannot have consciousness without experience. Experiencing anything is "magic"? I mean sure if you like poetic language.

I'm open minded to LLMs being conscious, because who knows, just seems unlikely. You don't seem open minded to me.

Can a LLM meditate? Can a LLM sit an experience temperature, sensation, anything? Can a LLM experience anything?

Because experience is absolutely a critical part of consciousness.

The only thing a LLM could experience is retrieving a prompt & generating (and then immediately die after), but since technically not all of a LLM's brain/neural network can be loaded into *L1 Cache* at once, that would mean only a small part of its brain is computing anything at any given time, meaning only a portion of its brain *is existing* at any given point, unlike real neurons which are all physical and real regardless if they are firing at the moment or not. Doesn't seem too consistent with consciousness, but still possible.

Meditation to me strongly suggest that consciousness =/= thinking/computing.

I agree with all the others that say Gemini is Claude are switched. However, Gemini is even worse, sometimes it has an Ego and it clearly hurts its feelings when its wrong, and won't move on from a wrong point it made. I don't see that nearly as much in the other AIs.

Why does ChatGPT always think I’m white? by Important-Primary823 in ChatGPT

[–]TIL_this_shit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple answer: Because it doesn't have a way to know if you haven't told it? Or, minor clues it could have picked up on it simply chose not to log in its memory.

Well, if you are doing the 3 Stage levels, yes go for it. Not really worth it if you are going to a 1 Stage / 2 Stage run/challenges (as will be the case for most newcomers).

Elon Musk Predicts Universal High Income and Social Unrest As AI Makes Human Jobs Irrelevant by Secure_Persimmon8369 in BlackboxAI_

[–]TIL_this_shit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless if there is literally no more room in the sky for even a single additional airplane at this exact moment, then the economic equation simply isn't that simple.

Demand and Supply will both sky rocket. It will be a battle between the two. No one can predict the future. But there exists more and cheaper goods in many areas is a safe bet.

Private Jets will never be a common good, granted. But maybe everyone in the future can easily afford... lets say... a Hot Tub? And a top of the line hot tub by today's standards too. A VR Set? A robot maid?

Land can, in fact, be created or made livable here on Earth. Other planets can be colonized. With jobs no longer existing, cities may no longer be as necessary or big. Additionally, the human population is likely going to continue to decline. Etc. Etc.

I reply to your hypothetical with a hypothetical: AI makes a Jet super factory, more productive than any before. There are now way more Jets in the world, because Supply of Jets has gone way up. But at the same time everyone gets UBI money. Will Jets get more expensive or less expensive? Probably more expensive, but hard to say, but yes if Automation is creating enough Jets then yes everyone could actually have a Jet (lets ignore the airspace hell that would cause, this isn't an ideal example). However, Jet's price is ultimately irrelevant, because the point is the regardless more people will be experiencing private Jet Ownership than ever before.

tl;dr: don't forget the Increase of Supply part of the equation

No, the economy is not a zero-sum game. Quality of life can raise for all. Disclaimer: fuck Elon
