I can see how being violently launched into an altered state of consciousness and forced to confront your most fundamental assumptions about base reality is not necessarily a glowingly positive experience for everyone.

Forward looking coverage of sustainable energy technology.

Would love to discover some interesting new YouTube channels from hacker news members.

Let me help you. Telemedicine apps are prescribing stimulants like candy and half the country has a sweet tooth.

Everyone involved knows what’s going on, and people are getting rich, but the action is a little too hot. Pharma’s nervous about impending regulation so they’re chilling operations to avoid getting targeted in the crosshairs of the impending scandal.

Ladies, let the sweet engineering student help you with your astronomy homework and buy you a chai latte.

The world needs more smart babies.

Progress is clearly accelerating.

We haven’t had any major incidents yet, right?

We’ve seen some mischievous disruption in education, confusion around “deepfakes”, social media algorithms getting a little too good, and are teetering on the edge of a paradigm shift in human knowledge.

Would love to hear some well reasoned predictions of historic firsts we might be in store for.

another interesting thought, maybe user could lay down on their back place iPhone on chest, and you can measure breathing with accelerometer? that could be even more accurate than camera + mic

One short pulse for breathe in, and a longer pulse to breathe out.

This would allow the user to perform the exercises with their eyes closed and the phone on their lap.

I know the visual functionality is core to your design, but might be a good idea to provide some optionality for users who just want to do the exercises without looking at their phone.
