Looks cool! One use case for travel is ppl like often like to be near public transport, especially places like Tokyo, NYC, etc.

Might be nice to have an easy way to enter all subway stations in a city and create the heatmap based on that.

Glad to hear you are happier :)

Out of curiosity why do you think it helped? Creating a sense of wonder and fun about the world?

In case it’s interesting, the book Livewired talks about this. The author also has a company called Neosensory which converts sound into physical vibrations on a wristband

Thanks for sharing i just discovered this a week ago!

Crazy that we can see our own white blood cells and all we have to do is look up at the sky :)

In my experience those white lights/graininess exists even when looking at other objects. Been trying to find a name for this.

Is this true in others experience?

I know there’s a phenomenon called visual snow but it’s not a negative experience like that seems to be for people. There’s also eigengrau but I experience this even in good lighting.

Kagi (paid privacy focused search engine) allows access to all of these for $25 a month.

Only downside I’ve found is it doesn’t save chat history for privacy reasons, but you can download them.

“The dataset contained measures of young adolescents ages nine to 13 and how many years they had spent reading for pleasure during their early childhood. It also included data on their cognitive, mental health and brain health.

About half of the group of adolescents starting reading early in childhood, whereas the other, approximately half, had never read in early childhood, or had begun reading late on.

We discovered that reading for pleasure in early childhood was linked with better scores on comprehensive cognition assessments and better educational attainment in young adolescence.”

Seems like classic correlation not causation

Anyone more if bayes rule can apply? I believe it gives the correct answer

P(two boys | atleast one) = P(atleast one boy | two boys) * P(two boys)/P(atleast one boy)

= 1*(1/4)/(3/4) = 1/3
