The Book The Sleep Solution or Why We Sleep touches on this. It also claims that REM sleep is a core part of this experience. The analogy that I found most useful is that REM sleep writes data from the cache to hard disk. In the process

Here in India, on iPhones, it displays the city when you get a call from an unknown number. Not sure how it’s done. Maybe there’s a code system. Also for the biggest service provider, it always displays Ahmedabad as the city for some reason

I would’ve expected this to be the norm in shooting sports. Shooting is more skill and experience based, less physically demanding, and age might prove advantageous

I’m looking at this from a casual stock market perspective. If I came to know the CEO of the company is unhappy and planning to leave, surely I expect the stock prices to take a hit. And the recovery will mostly depend on their successor an

Counter point. Most of salary is decided based on how much of a loss it would be if you left. A CEO leaving a company can immediately lead to serious consequences whereas an individual employee can leave and no one might bat an eye

Is anyone expecting anything more at this point? Maybe it’ll improve over time. But expecting Apple’s implementation of ChatGPT to be better than ChatGPT is unrealistic

It’s amazing how quick we forget things we thought at the moment were so important. Not in the same vein as journaling, but I’d been keeping a list of Notion entries on things I found important enough to keep notes on at work for the past 2

Can’t they link to sources? Like Perplexity.ai or Arc Search does. I don’t even need it to tell me anything. Links are all that is relevant. Google Analytics on the Web does something similar. You can ask questions in the search box and it

Can very well relate to being annoyed with Spotify being an all-encompassing audio platform. I guess there is a market to that. YouTube Music is also bringing podcasts to their app. But for someone who actually consumed a lot of audio conte

Yeah, but from a software perspective, it's just 2-3 form factors to support (Square Screen, Notch, Cutout). Even those are very well defined that those developing software for it doesn't have to bother with it at all. But you&#x2
