    Choose an amount of time to sleep, sleep right away the whole time, wake up immediately after and actually rested

        I did hear about some odd sleeping pill, not sure if it existed or if it was just a concept someone thought about…

        The pill was a normal sleeping pill, but with a core of cafffine, it would be designed so that it would take X hours to dissolve and once it got to the core, the caffine would wake you up on time.

        The more I think about it, the less I believe it would ever work.

          I like the idea to counteract the grogginess of the sleeping tablet, but I lack the knowledge to know if that would work.

          I’m guessing it would have been digested by then, right?

            Yeah, the point of it was that it would only keep you sleeping for X time and then wake you up.

          I do this the manual way. Set alarm half-an-hour early for coffee, drink it and go back to sleep. Wake up moderately more awake 45 minutes later. Doesnt always work. 4/10

        You mean by pausing before you speak?

        People who take time to formulate a sentence before speaking are actually infuriating on some level. Like I’ve got this friend, son of a diplomat, NEVER puts his foot in his mouth. Can you imagine trying to have a fast argument with someone who considers everything they say!

        I can say from experience that it is discomfiting, and maddening if you’re actually passionate about the topic.

          That is a virtue. Sure, it’s good to speak up, but it’d be worse to speak without considering your words.

          I mostly meant like, if you really wanted, you could have an LLM generate responses for most day to day conversations. This feature already exists for text and email.

      Wish granted, but now people skip your dialogue and only pick the first option that shows up.

    I despise Fast Travel in video games, to me it’s a feature that appears necessary because no thoughts were given about making the environment interesting to traverse

    But in real life ? I crave the time saving it offers

      You’re allowed to fast travel, but only after walking there first.

      If there’s enough offer to avoid overcrowding, public transport feels like that. You get into a special room, you have a loading screen where you can listen to some music, read a book, or even just have a small nap, and then you get out in your destination.

      As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.

      I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.

    In Rimworld you can click on a pawn and see all of its health stats, stuff like heart blockages, leg and arm injuries, immunity progress of diseases and other things like that. It would make things so much easier. I’d look at my health panel and see “Common Cold (87% immunity)”

    No one has said a HUD yet? Being able to instantly recall information about objects in your environment, how to use them, red outline for nearby dangers, etc? Wouldn’t even have to be Terminator T800 level for it to be immensely useful. Google Glass didn’t get there, but maybe Apple Vision Pro can help pave the way.

      Vision Pro lacks the sensors for that. They skimped out on direction finding capabilities, despite already having the tech in their phones (for their tags)

      In their infinite wisdom they built it as a standalone single user sandbox instead of as an environmentally aware terminal

          The alternatives are:

          • Windows based solution: will be super bloated, locked down preventing customizability, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers, I’m sure among other reasons others here will gladly point out.
          • MacOS based solution: Even more locked down than a Windows based solution, hardware may even be more proprietary so good luck swapping out components yourself to fix it, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.
          • iOS: same reasons as MacOS, with the exception of it not being as locked down.
          • Android based solution: is controlled by Google and therefore will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.

          Alternatives to Linux like other Unix based systems, FreeBSD, etc. I don’t know enough about, so whether or not it would be better on this kind of a product I don’t know.
