worth bearing in mind that the thing we call exercise now used to be more like: building shelters, finding food with our tribe, constant movement/walking... a lot of stuff that was highly socially situated and meaningful. also playful often, I bet. very different than from today
I'd like to play around with something like this, but from my understanding my machine (Macbook, 2021 M1) isn't nearly powerful enough (right?). Are there remote/cloud environments where I can run models like this?
As of recently I have not had the time/energy to maintain it, or to make improvements here and there (not that much needs to change for it to satisfy it's purpose). As you can see it's not currently working (although it was up to a couple weeks ago!).
It's a Python/Flask app. Hosting costs are $5/mo via PythonAnywhere.

I second this and will add a recommendation for Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, which is legally and freely available here http://integrateddaniel.info/book/ It really has the flavor of "meditation for hackers," whereas The Mind Illuminated's flavor seems more "meditation for engineers."
Yes! I also use Complice and think very highly of it. Coworking rooms with friends are incredibly useful at turning nights I otherwise would be slacking off into productive nights. Another feature that I find useful (aside from the core feature set) is the Beeminder integration, which lets me update all the things I Beemind w/ little effort.
I do use Complice in tandem with Omnifocus. I use Omnifocus to store big picture planning and all the tasks I want to do in the future. Then on a daily basis I set intentions for the tasks I want to do that day in Complice.
To add a data point, a friend and I made one of these over the weekend (with Trump and Michael Scott https://youtu.be/0Rexuh-VY6E)
It was shockingly easy to do. We're technical, but neither of us know a lick about machine learning. It took a couple hours to collect training data (we turned speeches/interviews from each of them into thousands of photos), and 20 hours to train the model.
In the future you could automate the data collection for a person even more, to the point where they just need to film a selfie of themselves for a couple of minutes in a couple of different lightnings, and boom, after you train their decoder, you could put them on any celebrity.
IANAL, but Crispin Glover sued the creators of Back to the Future II for using a mold his face as George McFly without permission [1]. While he starred in the first film, the second film used a mold of his face since he ended up not joining the project.
I’m not a lawyer, and don’t know what jurisdiction you are talking about, which celebrity you’re talking about (alive/dead/long dead, where do/did they live), etc, but I think the model copyright will be yours, but you will be restricted as to where you can use it because others have the right to make money with its looks.
Law works similar with copies of physical objects. For example, you are free to make a 100% copy of an iPhone, the Mona Lisa or a pop song and enjoy them at home, but you can’t display them in public or sell copies, or even give them away (did I say I’m not a lawyer?)
Quoting some articles does not an argument make. The summary argument:
> Volatility is a feature of Bitcoin, not a bug, and that is in part for reasons that have nothing to do with speculation or bubbliness, but rather follow from the contours of the utility function. It’s that latter point that hardly anyone understands.
I'd argue this is might be correct, but also irrelevant, as many people involved in bitcoin either wanted to use it as a payment method, or are only in it for speculation, or money laundering/covert transferring of wealth.
How useful is a value store where it's very difficult to actually get the value out remains to be seen, or what effect such a realisation will have on the price.
