Hi! What a fantastic post, a good day to you too. I recently found out my bone density isn’t great. Never broke a bone in my life but the doctor advises to start an activity that impacts bones. I’m not a sports person but last Thursday I went to a boulder gym. I was already coming up with excuses not to go, but decided to hop in the car and just do it, which felt like quite the power move. I’ve never been “in shape”…

Congratulations! I can't speak to bone density, but if you stick with it, you'll see big improvements throughout your life: better mood, better sleep, more focus, meeting new people... Best of luck on your journey!

Hello! I read all comments so far and already found several things that resonate with me! I'm currently exploring and trying to find the passion again, I'm a ai engineer and looking into how I can help with ai in biology (alphafold), open source bio projects, brain computer interfaces. Today I plan to check the most successful seed stage vc and incubators hoping to find some interesting startups they funded to understand what people are working on in the area

I got obsessed with Stable Diffusion. I get past the honeymoon period generating everything I could imagine, and now I'm trying to actually incorporate it in my daily work. Furthermore, I'm sharing my experiments here https://bits-next.p1x.in/generating-perfect-grass-textures.h...

Another new and exciting thing for me is the Gemini protocol. The simple, low-tech internet. I started porting all my texts/websites to my own capsule at gemini://floppy.p1x.in (server from real 3.5" floppy!)

I spent my morning working on a science fiction novel. (I won't post more here, but you can find it through my profile if you're interested.) Are there any other writers in the house? On a completely unrelated topic, one of my earliest "internet" memories was wandering into open source communities and trying to figure out this CVS thing and connecting it to GNU Savannah so that I could download some code. Those were…

In my free time I'm writing short stories, once I have enough I'm going to publish a collection. I'm fairly certain I can get it published, I already have a book out with good reception so I'm feeling confident but who knows.

Man, building an ECG. What is your job description? What kind of organization are you working for? Also your English is excellent!

I think tech lead or something like that. It sounds more serious than it actually is. Electrical engineering is done by someone who knows his stuff, I'm more software guy. Actual ADC is Texas Instruments chip built for ECG applications. So we basically interact with it and deliver a recorded signal to UI and finally to our servers. We have working business and we integrated with some ECG devices which are used on the…

If it's CE or FDA you're after, they are not that bad at all, I was tasked with it as an intern many moons ago and could complete both within 3 months starting from zero. It's a lot easier if it's the lowest level grade of medical device, otherwise you need clinical trials which are really difficult to organize. At the lowest level it's basically just a bunch of documentation you need to present to the authorities.

For me it’s Werner Herzogs Movies. Techno music history and culture. Waiting for Breath of the Wild 2. Visual Design. Unreal Engine. Photogrammetry. Drawing with my kids. This may appear a bit „all over the place“ but i dug quite deep into the things above except for Werner Herzog as it takes some effort to convince my wife watching the movies.

Hello from Switzerland (I'm not swiss though). I am passionate about reducing the suicide rates in Japan (I'm not japanese though). To contribute the way I envision, I'm building a business (one man show) to fund this endeavor. Easier said than done. First it starts by covering my costs, then moving on to this ambition. It's a journey so gotta enjoy the day-to-day, so I am happy to do a business on what I love, which is cybersecurity. I just got started, but I am already all in :) wish me luck lol. As for why this mission .. gosh it's a book to explain, but in short I want to give back what I received all over the years. If you have ideas to contribute about Japan, please write to me. Info on profile. Peace and love :)

Thanks so much for posting this, I love the spirit of it. I'm passionate about my sobriety journey. I just got home from a dinner party of ex coworkers and friends. Being the only one not drinking is hard for me and a huge change. I used to lead the charge with booze, it was the thing that took my crushing anxiety away. It made everything more fun. Well, that can only last so long when you abuse it so much and it fuc…

I'm passionate about my sobriety journey.

Passion is an awesome word in this context. Meaning: irresistible motive, intensely emotional heat, rage, or love. That is love for you (yourself) - the good non-narcissistic kind of self care. And you're getting a reward. Abstinence does not have to be suffering. Thanks for sharing this. Carry on.
