> Any psychotherapist ... tries to create a heavy dependence to their patents, not so chemical but behavioral and psychological, which they call patient bonding.
This world view is extreme, not true, and directly harmful to your mental health.
You should consider talking to a psychotherapist about why you feel that way :^)
In all seriousness, the world is a much more pleasant place when you discard extremist views and accept the good with the bad.
I only eat breakfast intentionally, as I am not really hungry in the mornings. But as I understand it, it's better to get your calories earlier in the day than late, so I make myself eat in the morning.
I am testing it at the moment. I read that cortisol levels raise after 14 hours or so of no food. So I decided to eat breakfast about 13 hours to see if there's any changes on my mood. I do find it that I get less cranky. Another thing, this year during mother's day I had a huge brunch, so I didn't eat anything else that day, and it worked fine for 24 hours, the problem is that I felt in comma after eating that much which is one of the reason I stopped eating lunch, I don't like to crash; what to eat solves that partially, but I still fine some slow down after eating breakfast.
When calory restricting I do this too: I am actually never hungry before 11 am while I get up at 5 am always but I force myself (at 8) and don't need anything else the rest of the day because of it.
You scare me. After life dishing out one of its lessens, I decided to get some fundamentals in order, and for me that includes 3 meals a day, with the family. Things have to get really disastrous to not get breakfast, and I don't think my kid skipped breakfast ever. Each his own, of course, but I wonder what happens in your life that this is semi normal?
I have a morning routine. Usually I go for a walk and read for an hour before doing anything else. But I almost never eat breakfast. I'm just not hungry in the morning.
By midday I'm on an adventure. Some days, it takes me in a direction where it makes more sense to skip lunch than to stop and have it.
When I'm hungry and it's convenient, I eat. When I'm not, I don't.
It's almost never the case that I'm hungry for a meal three times a day.
> What incentive does Bhutan have to cater to foreign investor interests?
Bhutan is actively encouraging foreign investment for obvious reasons. For example, see Gelephu Mindfulness City [1]. The King and his government have published their reasoning.
> Who/what determines the token values? Is it based on market demand for tokens or the market price of gold? If the price of gold increases 50%, are token values guaranteed to follow suit?
Yes. Presumably there is a redemption mechanism, providing arbitrageurs opportunities to close price discrepancies between the token and spot gold for a profit.
> I'm trying to understand the advantage here over ETFs
The vast majority of Earth's population doesn't have access to US-based ETFs. Second, if a significant amount of your assets are already on chain, it's painful to move them back to a fiat-based brokerage account to buy a gold ETF; you risk the whims of an arbitrary bureaucracy, frozen assets and delays over which you have no control.
> HyperCore includes fully onchain perpetual futures and spot order books. Every order, cancel, trade, and liquidation happens transparently with one-block finality inherited from HyperBFT. HyperCore currently supports 200k orders / second, with throughput constantly improving as the node software is further optimized.
Key part:

> Importantly, HyperCore does not rely on the crutch of off-chain order books. A core design principle is full decentralization with one consistent order of transactions achieved through HyperBFT consensus.
And in fact they did just this when their vaults started bleeding money on an unfavourable position (JellyJelly). They handed out a closed source binary and the validators ran it immediately, closing out the market at an arbitrary price.
Ahhh this is exactly what I'm looking for! I don't see any pricing on any pages. Would love to know how much this costs (I don't know what 455 diamonds is worth) as there's a few sprites that I'd love to animate and use in my app.
Not a fan of signing up before seeing how much I'd have to pay. The examples look great though.
Prices are about to drop dramatically. Many of the models dropped >80% in price since initial launch. Any time I have a reduction in cost, I pass the savings directly on to users.
Not sure if you just added this in or I overlooked it, but exactly the kind of transparency I love. Will give this a try.

EDIT - Did an image generation using the OpenAI 4o model, then ran through the lowest quality animation. This is awesome and first pass is very strong and usable (around 100 diamonds used).
I look forward to seeing prices drop more and the asset pack area fill up. Keep going man, really awesome stuff.
I've tried making game tiles and sprites with Craiyon, which works surprisingly well now. But I always struggle with consistent style, scale, colors. And if I want a border around buttons, it's better if I make it once and apply it myself in photoshop, because the AI will change it slightly every time I ask for a change to the sprite contents.
Basic human decency says your workplace environment should be chill enough to let you take breaks as you, yourself, dictate. If you're underperforming because of it, you're fired. Enforcing a rule as you claim strips the employee of what little respect they have left. To be honest, your suggestion is sickening to me.
Highly skilled jobs can absolutely be 'perform or be fired', because you're paying for a person's ability to do a specialized thing, and there's usually only so much specialized work to be done.
But there are also a lot of 'we need bodies at a low cost' jobs.
And those latter jobs run on work_output : labor_cost, which can always be maximized by making fewer workers do more.
(Consequently, why the real goal for people studying / graduating in the modern economy should be to find a way to get into the former jobs...)
Yes, and this dichotomy has been analyzed by political and economic theorists for centuries and everyone except autocrats and slave owners has agreed that the conditions surrounding the "work_output : labor_cost" jobs you describe are a huge miscarriage of justice and ought to be discarded with the past. Whether that is predicted to occur via bloody revolution or capitalist accelerationism is a matter of your particular economic and philosophical taste. But every ethical human being says we shouldn't treat people like that.
If, in the generated notes, you could link back to the original source (timestamp in video, slide number, etc.), I would use this all the time. I love LLMs but when extreme precision matters, like when studying for tests, I would love to be able to quickly reference the original source to verify the information myself.
Thanks! I actually had the same problem. The source linking is actually already there - just implemented a bit differently by directly inlining source images at relevant points:
For videos: Screenshots are timestamped in the filename as (frame_00-12-45.jpg)
For PDFs: Page numbers are preserved in the filename as (page_15.jpg)
The "verify as you study" use case is exactly what I built this for. I wanted the AI-enhanced explanations but still needed to double-check against source material during exam prep. The screenshot integration was designed to make that workflow natural instead of bouncing between 2 files.
That said, I could make this more explicit - maybe add the timestamps/page numbers as clickable links in the markdown itself. Would that be more useful than the current inline image approach? It will break if original file is moved.
My theory is that this hypothesis is shut down by the fishing industry.
