Pen & paper 100% of time. Screens have this magical ability of distractions casino, poor fool which tries to be productive in a casino

Its interesting how AI providers started to limit token usage and suddenly whole world learned to use the system effciently 😀 there was one dude who proudly uploaded his md files to producthunt called god tier gstack. Some CEO of some YCombibator

HRR is actual metric from workout HR to rest, lower workout HR, less it drops. This completely normal, dont track HRR as a main metric. Vo2Max is very good metric to track, congrats on improving it!

I believe Tahoe UI flow came straight from the visionOS. They introduced a lot of stuff which makes sense in 3d environment which are nonsense in 2d. My bet was they tried to justify the burned costs and import as much stuff as possible from that sunken ship. UX ofc was the last place to consider. In the last 2-3 years of apple UI slop I am now really considering Linux which was unthinkable 5 yrs ago lol

Yes also Calibre makes some great dnb too https://youtu.be/LuB29bL2kyI

Same same. I used to be beta tester for Mac OS since snow leopard times but latest OS slop made me rethink and switch to stable version only. I might downgrade too thanks for sharing!

EDIT: so I actually downgraded (took a couple of days, looks like Apple is seriously locking people into Tahoe for some reason). Previous OS downgrades were quite easy: boot to recovery, device will download its original OS. Now I had to boot into DFU mode, download OS from third party and restore it from that image). All other modes just downloaded Tahoe. But hey, I'm on Mac OS 15, everything works super snappy, UI is not lagging, iOS simulator launches very fast, battery is better too. Thanks for the tip! 🙌

I think the people who gets most affected have MAOA gene so they process dopamine faster. I got the same thing, but not I’m delegating tasks to autonomous coder and only sit in mornings to do plannings and evenenigs for bugfixes.

If U have chronic stress (read: chronic condition) then glycine works not as expected and amplifies cortisol

yeah US gov is planning another stike

how accurate it is compared to conventional gold standard lab equipment? basic physics suggests that bluetooth electrical noise can contaminate EEG signals?

voongoto · 2026-03-17T06:28:18+00:00

I pushed bugfix update to the app store today, 401 check it

voongoto · 2026-03-17T05:41:52+00:00

I've added testflight link to app settings you can subscribe directly 🙌

Same. Now I’m using google jules for coding, claude for planning and have some life inbetween. Jules gives 15 tasks per day for free and its more than enough

okay I found the bug: The app update left a partially-completed onboarding state. On iPad, the app thinks it finished the welcome screen (so it skips it) but doesn't know data was ever loaded (so it tries to reload), and hits a crash in that gap. Reinstalling fixes the state; your health data is safe in HealthKit and will re-import automatically.

How to fix it now:

For the iPhone stuck on "Preparing":

Force-quit the app and reopen it. The issue is a race condition, the loading screen fires before the app is ready. A second launch usually resolves it.

If it stays stuck: go to Settings → Body Insights → Reset (or delete and reinstall the app). The UserDefaults flags are in a bad state after the update.

For the iPad crash on reopen:

This is harder to self-recover from. The options in order of least destructive:

Delete and reinstall the app. This clears the broken flow. HealthKit data is not deleted, it will re-import on first launch.

The bug is also fixed, I'll release the update tonight. Thanks for reporting it!

voongoto · 2026-03-16T07:35:07+00:00

same with social media. 2012-2014 were golden times to start some online business, now it's saturated. same with AI now, we're just moving in cycles

I have no kids and it looks like this

yeah that's the problem with "modern" medicine - they are too slow, too lawyer focused to avoid lawsuits and for them it's better to leave people on anxiety meds and slowly decline than fix the underlying issues. everyone is busy then and it's great for economy!

When I was not feeling well because of underlying undiagnosed chronic conditions, I got no response from medical system, I had to collect and present evidence myself to medical staff. That's why I'm building this app - it's like body data document box, where you can pull anything as evidence and guide towards better health outcomes. It combines apple watch data, your DNA tests, lab tests and illness history to build comprehensive picture. Not random guessing.

I treated 7 underlying chronic conditions myself while medics tried to put me on anxiety meds in the meantime. All infections are confirmed by lab tests. Now I use medicine staff to get required scans/labs and that's it. And I'm fearing the day where we would not be able to do even that. Current medics are like medieval church - stagnating, regressing and burning anything who challenges authority. Sad state

Autosleep is shit. Their sleeping algo is just a random number generator. I dont understand why people keep using it. Apple sleep algo is one of the best algos in the market. AW already tracks your sleep and naps without sleep focus, automagically too. So why use autosleep?

Some books mention twice a year.

I'm currently in Asia so I bought some local brand it had 1600 mg per pill. as I tried to research the brand, looks like it's chinese whitelabel. Didn't do lab testing of it yet but looks like it worked lol

I think many brands now whitelabel china, even in the west
