Can you give any further details or metrics on your tests?

From what I’ve read, a simple fan while sleeping checks the box for pink noise.

Not that it makes it any better for new users, but for existing users, you can opt out of the arbitration by following the directions in the email they sent out.

I believe when the views of that person who has influence on the product, and it does not align with the services they say they desire to provide, it’s an issue.

It also can purely be choosing to not support an organization that doesn’t align with your world view. The money in our pockets is the power to change things.

As I mentioned it’s pretty new and the server doesn’t even have a tagged or release version yet. Take a look at the repo activity: https://github.com/Silo-Server/silo-server/graphs/commit-act...

Marketing is not really the important bit at the moment when they’re working on building things from the ground up.

I was just mentioning it because it’s a new contender to the space, changing the status quo. Always a good thing in the OSS world.

Silo is a new up and coming competitor, also completely open source and written in go, and has full Postgres support from the get-go, along with proper architecture decisions to allow transcoding across multiple hosts.

The vision of Silo appears to be much more clear, and has quite a few great devs behind it. It also has features to run side by side and has full JF api support. I have no involvement in the project, just excited for a new player in the space.

Something to keep an eye on!

This is awesome, thank you for sharing.

This answers so many questions that I had but never had the true desire to research every niche WiFi term.

To me, the OP’s reply reeks LLM, along with many others from them in this thread.

I would hope that their replies are from an actual person, knowing they’re interacting with people in a similar field as themselves, and asking for criticism from real people in the top comment.

Yeah they usually do have a dedicated sleeping space for their service. The thing is, they only sleep if there’s enough downtime. Depending on your service, size of the program, and of course who your patient population is, it could be a lot, or none at all.

Current ACGME rules allow a max of 30 consecutive hours, so not as bad but still not great for someone you would hope to have fine motor skills to save a life!

I tested this feature maybe 6 months ago. Have they copied the behavior of Chrome, where when you have multiple profiles open at once, it will open a link (say from Slack) in the most recently focused profile and window?

Last I checked, it didn’t, and it was quite annoying, coming from Chrome.

I’ve tried to find a way to reduce or eliminate those workspace switching animations and have not found a solution. I will say that using a hotkey to access it makes it go the fastest compared to swiping, but that’s about it. There are more extreme solutions like Flashspace but it’s not the greatest.
