(Slightly off topic) If you click in the "RoberDam.com" link that appears when you scroll a little bit you get redirected to " http://localhost:8080/ ". It seems to only happen in the English page. In the Spanish version of the post the link works well.
Fixed, thanks for the tip Alex!
Excellent. Just terrific. My future perfect system also logs my location and what I'm doing. And probably health metrics too, like heart and breathing rate. Instead of initiating my exercises, I just want to say "Robert, start jog". The "modal" nature of my Apple Watch's Activities really frustrates me. I don't want to take notes while I'm listening to a podcast. I'm generally doing something else at the time. I just…
This is known as life logging with adjacency to sousveillance and it’s a fascinating topic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance We in general don’t want to be watched by others, but a managed record of our own activities can be extremely valuable, and even more so if you find yourself wrongly accused. Further it can be used to shine a light on corrupt officials, one exa…
I did an experiment where I lived for awhile with a sony recorder/mic on me 24/7. It was nice to be able to refer back to conversations and events when I wanted them. Biggest issue was sorting through the data-- timestamps and recorder bookmarks were OK but I really needed full text search on the audio. It would have been great to tag via `Robert, mark timestamp, end Robert`. AI seems to be required, especially when…
It needed a physical "Something interesting just happened" button that could be annotated later. At the time, creating custom hardware as well as the entire software/service stack was more than I was willing to bite off.
The iFP is tiny, roughly a 4" long by 1.5-2" cylinder. It easily covered a full day, the silence detection worked great, and quality was fine when used in a pocket or on a belt. Basically, the stuff that I expected to be difficult was already solved.

I'm a bit concerned about the calorie level I see here, 832/day. That is about 1/3 of the NHS recommendation [1] for males. 1. https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/food-and-diet/wha...
Why Google decided to block call recording is beyond me. In the past when I was able to record calls it saved me a lot of trouble - for instance when insurance company lied to me over the phone about the product I could confront them about it and get my money back. I wish I could be able to record calls with my relatives as well. Call recording is legal in my country.

1. Record video sound etc... (trajectories) egocentrically
2. Analyze the data and assign reward labels (more/good, less/bad) to state and transitions actions
3. Use the reward feedback and trajectories to build the policy for some set of actions in certain environments
This is why I'm bullish on anything sousveillance - so AR cameras on your head, always on mics etc...
The challenge is doing this democratically, without it being intermediated by a giant for-profit mega corp that doesn't care about you and wants to mess with your head
