Pons_Aelius,

I'm really getting tired of every new product announcement having AI tacked on in some way.

Pons_Aelius,

algorithmic content

That's my point. I am not knocking the feature, just the marketing push now to call an algorithm feed AI.

I doubt there has been any actual change in the feed just the term.

It is buzzword bullshit.

Pons_Aelius,

Wonder how long AI will be a buzzword.

Until the next one comes along.

Pons_Aelius,

The fact we are complaining about it means...

Pons_Aelius,

Better option, go old school.

Don't use your phone alarm, buy an alarm clock. One with a very loud alarm that does not stop until you turn it off.

Place in your room as far away from the bed as possible, so that you have to get out to turn it off.

Pons_Aelius,

Hate to sound like a parent, then you need to go to bed earlier.

I haven't used an alarm in about a decade because I value sleep. Most of us live in a constant state of sleep deprivation and it is one of the worst things you can do for your health.

Pons_Aelius,

I'm sorry you have that and truly hope you find an effective treatment, but the vast majority of people who are sleep deprived do not suffer from medically induced insomnia.

Pons_Aelius,

That sucks. My guess is that they were happy you had replaced their parents in this role.

Pons_Aelius,

Now that is what I call setting firm boundaries.

Pons_Aelius,

I know you are not serious but you cannot make up sleep debt. Crashing like this on the weekends just makes it worse.

Pons_Aelius,

But they were still able to pass the responsibility of getting up at the right time to you.

Pons_Aelius,

I don't doubt it.

I remember reading experiments where being awake for 24 hours impacts the ability to drive more than a blood alcohol level of 0.05 and by 36 hours it is 0.15.

Pons_Aelius,

When it happens naturally we call it going viral.

When it is an organised attempt to go viral what should we call it?

Smallpox blankets...

Pons_Aelius,

Comfort eating is one of the hardest addictions to break because unlike drugs, you cannot go cold turkey and stop.

Most of us have never actually been hungry and eat because it is lunchtime or because we are sad and want to distract ourselves.

What worked for me was fasting. It was incredibly hard at first but it did reset my relationship with food. My stomach now decides when and what I eat, not my mind.
