Very impressive. I've been working on a shared background presence animation, and have been testing out Claude and Codex. (By shared presence, I mean imagine a page's background changing based on where everyone's cursor is) B

Author here: this is exactly what had me turn on notifications for email. I first tried without it, but found myself "checking on important responses" way too much.

What worked for me: working in person with others. I found that it's much harder for me to procrastinate on my laptop when I am working with peers. The repeated focus time on the laptop during work hours 'conditioned' me to u

Just checked out Foqos -- have seen others mention it in the thread too. Great work!

You know what, fair point. I deleted XFinity from my phone, and removed it from the essay. I originally did this because the negative experience of losing the internet was really high, but on reflection I think I'll have other warning

I'm curious, have you tried this? Would love to learn what you jotted down.

Thank you for the kind words about the nifty technology and the essay : ) You know you touch on something interesting. I feel like the best 'marketing' or 'networking' happens over decades. Of course this implies that be

Author here: Ultimately all of these apps were essential for me. "Your Internet Provider" is a funny one -- for some reason XFinity kept failing to charge my credit card. I would come home to find an angry girlfriend without WiFI.

Interesting work! This can be a great way to have ML models live in a sandbox and prove out some of the safety concerns Anthropic et al speak about.

Yeah it's definitely annoying. Recently I was at a kiosk for Turkish Airlines, and they _really_ didn't want to print the boarding pass. They wanted to send a text instead.

Author here: I think this could work great for parental controls. A really determined kid with a laptop or the willingness to factory reset their iphone could get around it. But outside of this I _think_ it's worth trying.

Author here: I think so! A reader shared with me that they used the adb cli to remove all the apps they didn't want, including the Play Store.

If you use iCloud, you should still be able to get back your contacts, photos, etc.

Fair point! I guess I count that as a "positive" distraction. It isn't every day that the active number there is so 'active'. As you read the post it should disappear with the scroll.

Strangely enough, I found Claude and ChatGPT crucial to making all this work. In the essay: > Whenever I need some information, I can just ask my LLM, and it can give me a distraction free summary. It helps the long-tail of weird situati

Oh, that's a cool idea! I think that would work. You would still need to connect to your laptop twice, to switch the profiles. Outside of that it could work great! Would have to think about what would make for a good 'travel acros

The problem I had with Apple Watch was there were still apps I would need. For example, Uber doesn't have an app for the Apple Watch anymore.
