Enter budget (and maybe some other goals) then when you are out shopping (or even online), scan the bar code to see if its a good purchase - this model could weigh a couple considerations.
Also, suggest alternatives.
I am a software dev and think this is pretty doable - just need some feedback and I could get started. (likely takes multiple devs to get the app published and running)
In a nutshell: its a combination of budgeting and price comparison - I think the key is that it combines the two with YOUR pocketbook/priorities in mind.
PS does anything like this exists exactly? I know the barcode scanning software is widespread (for chekcing food labels) and so are budgeting apps. This intersection can also looks for healthier options (I havent seen super prolific anywhere). But also think about scanning clothes tags and stuff *kind of like honey IRL*
I need a smart light bulb with "Sunrise Simulation" aka slowly lighting up in the morning before my alarm clock goes off.
One problem with using wired headphones is that when it dangles over the keyboard, it obstructs the keys and hands. So the idea is to put the headphone cord underneath the keyboard by having little indentation to pass the cord underneath (for example, underneath the space bar). This way, putting the keyboard on top of the headphone cord doesn't create an unbalanced keyboard, and doesn't apply unnecessary pressure on the headphone cord.
Bad breath could possibly be cured by one simple tablet that dissolves as it goes down our throats, cleaning it. It will significantly reduce the aftertaste of onion, and even the most stubborn of aftertastes! It could also have an added benefit of ridding you of your nightly acid reflux.

I think they should make a horror movie that portrays what Reddit would look like if it was real life.
The protagonist is a high school or college student. They frequently voice their opinions in social settings (and even academic settings such as debate clubs).
However sometimes, they might say something that not everyone agrees with. And when that happens, the entire world instantly becomes silent and dark. And then everyone around you stares at you in an eerie cult-like manner. Their eyes turn red, and they are just dark figures in the distance. This is process of being downvoted. But it's a temporary experience, and then the world resumes back to normal. However the world now seems slightly gloomier than before.
That is because the downvotes remain on the protagonist. It keeps building up. The more times this happens, the gloomier the world seems to become.
But even scarier is the effect it has on the protagonist. The more downvotes the protagonist accummulates, the more translucent and less-real they become. With enough downvotes, people will no longer even acknowledge them. They might say "Hi" to their friends, but the friends don't see anything....they just shudder as if they felt a cold chill in the air. This is what happens when the downvotes get so high, that you are shadow banned from existence itself.
fiber optic touch sensor for humanoid robots. it is plastic tubes that has a laser sent down to see where it is compressed to sense touch in certain areas. there is convolution neural net in it to detect laser and how dim it is.
Imagine a high school or college setting. The teacher asks a question, and one student voices their opinion. As soon as you voice your opinion, everyone looks at you and you can see downvotes flying at you in an eerie manner. The more downvotes you get, the spookier the background music becomes. The downvotes swim around you while the Jaws soudntrack plays.
And you can feel the hate stares and the downvotes flying at you from those stares.
This would be useful in desktop PCs or applications where there are a lot of different DC rails. Since each representation of a number in base n is unique, it could be impossible to plug a connector into the wrong rail.

Yes yes, that's what a book is. But suddenly the notion of combining the clarity of subs with the coziness of audiobooks begins to seem increasingly appealing to you.

A chip can sense the electric fields coming from single axons and another chip can cause nerve signals in specific axons by making patterns of electric fields on it's surface. No current needs to flow between the chip and nerve.
If needed, the receive and (re)send functions can be in one chip surface, but last time I heard, biology says that nerves do only one or other for a direction, so the signals go in same direction. But better be prepared for surprises, so at least the first prototypes should be bi-directional and if it is later confirmed that biology was indeed correct, then drop that feature from later models.
It is a matter of software how the receive and send functions (or camera and send function in the case of blind) are connected and with what kind of interface the patient should assign axons to axons or image parts(angles relative to field of view center, moves, colors etc.) to axons. There is lot to figure out and the first patients need to carry a general purpose computer to handle all the signals, while the software is developed and refined. When the software is good enough, it becomes possible to make special chips that handle all that processing, saving weight and energy.
If patients need years of work to make a configuration that enables something, it is acceptable(random or semi-random signal patterns can keep the axons alive). But it may be much faster. We don't know what the user interfaces for patients could be. We don't know how randomly arranged the axons in optic nerve are and how much relation there is between angle and position in the nerve bundle. Even if axons in optic nerve are perfectly randomized, like a well mixed pack of cards, there may be efficient ways to gradually sort them to good order, that enables at least mediocre vision (with optical+software zoom).
For example, placing 3 dots randomly usually makes a triangle. 4th dot is either in or out of that triangle. Answering that kind of in or out question may take 1 second with a button. 8 hours have 28800 seconds. Doing that every day for 30 days gives 864000 answers. Once there is enough resolution, a mouse cursor can be used for answering what previously known point is closest to a new point.
One-eyed patients would be easiest for the development phase. But they may not have enough motivation, so they would have to get paid?
Thicknesses of axons may provide some vague clues about their specific purpose or meaning, speeding up the configuration.
Luckily we have a "switch" inside our physical body to counteract stress. Even though it goes unnoticed and is unknowingly activated daily by most for other reasons.
You might have noticed it before, it's this extremely blissful subtle energy that's activated when experiencing Frisson, or as the Runner's High, as the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, as Qi in Taoism / Martial Arts, as Prana in Hindu philosophy, during an ASMR session and as Chills from positive events/stimuli.
In ancient Chinese culture and ancient Indian culture, they observed that when activated, this can cause a few physical reactions like controlling your temperature, dilating your pupils, controlling your heartbeat, perspiration, smiling, teary eyes, flooding yourself with euphoria or activating in certain parts of your body and of course goosebumps.
This soothing subtle energy can be learned to be activated as you please without any outside stimuli, with just the simple intention of experiencing it. So imagine how helpful it can be when faced with unwanted stress/anxiety. You can even feel it over your whole body, flooding your being with its natural ecstasy and master it to the point of controlling its duration.
In the eastern part of the world they discovered that it can be made to flow through the body via channels coined as Meridians or Nadis that encompass the entire human body.
It has been documented in various cultures and has been coined under many names like Bioelectricity, Life force, Prana, Qi, Runner'sHigh, Euphoria, ASMR, Ecstasy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Mana, Vayus, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Chills, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.
Now for some of you that say that stress is good should consider that there are two types of stress and oxidative stress has been linked to several neurological diseases (i.e., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, depression, and memory loss).
If you are interested in learning how to active this whenever you please, here are three written tutorials going more in-depth on how you can control this subtle energy and to understand where it comes from.
P.S. Everyone feels its activation at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on the subreddit community r/spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.

What are your points on it?? If you have anything in your mind I would love to take the feedback
Basically youd have like C'Thulu,Azathoth etc. working an office job where they torment random planets cos yknow, their lovecraftian entities. But they just interact like normal ppl outside of that. Not sure if this fits for this sub but this the only one i could find.
As a pen falls, you can move it to create and enclose regions, similar to the game Qix. When you create an enclosed region, it is removed, freeing up space to create more enclosed regions.
The game ends if you run into a Qix enemy or if you are unable to create an enclosed region.
Would this be an interesting variation on falling block games?
In humans all the information to create a womb is contained on the X chromosome. The rest of the genome can be summarized as just the inputs and outputs, and statistics underlying the whole body. If you accept substrate independence then there must be a way to translate the X chromosome into an artificial womb. I understand current Artificial Wombs research is only capable of supporting premises for short times, making them little more than special incubators.
With this sort of infrastructure one could engineer completely new prospective species. By transforming all extant genomes we can use their generalized fitness function to explore new niches in fitness space. I just think of DNA as the high-dimensional origami instructions necessary to produce some overall pattern of function. Over time we could design species that are pre-domesticated, possessing the capacity for language, without nervous systems like a cross between coral and leather furniture, and/or as humans on a chip to minimize risk in biological research.
The goal is you entering any genome string into the system and then it instantiating an active embryo in the appropriate womb irl. Inputs and outputs can be engineered for compatibility with tubing standards, etc. We want a single box design that can incubate and grow any species. A womb for all future wombs.
Eventually it could evolve systems that do depth-limited searches of fitness space and rate their relative proximity in mutation space. So each generation would be almost a different species. Kids amirite?
Now:
I feed a prompt into an AI video program and after x minutes it outputs an entertaining video. I upload it to r/aivideo and if it’s good it’s upvoted. The popular AI videos now tend to be TikTok length, but I don’t see any significant barriers to finding other successful formats. But like in an infomercial it’s all in black & white. “There’s gotta be a better way!”
Future:
An evolutionary algorithm generates prompts for the AI video program. It uses the Reddit feedback to explore the fitness space of video content. Scaleable production gives us diversity, and the Reddit feedback provides a selective pressure. The two criteria necessary for evolution. Successful content creators could get lucky and find successful niches, providing very valuable information for shaping their evolving algorithm. Combine that with: a torrent backend for free storage that scales efficiently with demand, and a media interface frontend for the first free streaming service. Could call it Aarondell after internet martyr Aaron Swartz.
Let’s make the future happen sooner.
My room is 25’x6’ so I did the math I would need a 3000 lumen bulb but all the popular brands like Philips only seem to support 800 lumen for some reason. You’d think such popular company would make higher lumens than 800.
Hi there,
The bulb in my ceiling light in my apartment burnt out. I am having trouble finding the exact bulb to replace it and just want to find a replacement option.
The current burnt out bulb is two concentric circles with a single four prong male plug. It reads “2CT6 55W G10q” “2700K CRI >=80” “1307” There is also an “Hg” in a circle
The light fixture has a sticker that says “Model No. 11983 BZ N080513” “C. I. Code 158PLG” “120VAC, 60Hz, 55W” “Use (1) 2C55W T6 Replacement Bulb”
Does the link for the bulb below seem like it will work? If not, will you please recommend one? Thanks!
How? By pushing everything they can to you that destroys your vital energy.
What is your vital energy and why should you care about it?
It is a mixture of both your parents genetic materials inherited from them at the time of your conception. This part is said to be with you all of your life.
On-top of theirs is then added your vital energy and this said to then go through three stages of evolution.
The first stage starts as an accumulation of what you ingest, your oxygen and sexual essence. For most of your life it develops and strengthens overtime but can get depleted or attacked because of what you ingest, your lifestyle choices, how frequently you orgasm and your manner of breathing.
The next level is when your vital energy has reached a high enough amount. It then transforms into a sort of ''etheric'' vapor and can be felt as neutral, negative or euphoric.
This is the level that was coined as "Qi" (pronounced Chee) by the ancient Chinese culture. This level is what is activated when experiencing Frisson, or as the Runner's High, as the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, as Qi in Taoism / Martial Arts, as Prana in Hindu philosophy, during an ASMR session and as Chills from positive events/stimuli. In ancient Chinese culture and ancient Indian culture, they observed that when its second stage of evolution gets activated, you can cause a few physical reactions like controlling your temperature, dilating your pupils, controlling your heartbeat, perspiration, smiling, teary eyes, flooding yourself with euphoria or activating in certain parts of your body and of course goosebumps.
After successfully developing your vital energy in an healthy way and accumulating enough of its Etheric aspect, it refines itself even more and reaches the ''Spiritual Energy'' level where it increases your awareness of your spirit, your mental clarity, your power of focus, intent and is the key to accessing "superhuman" abilities.
Unfortunately because of the agenda and societal influences pushed by these elites(liquor consumption, cigarettes, other short circuiting detrimental substances, pornographic content and the culture of wasting one's sexual essence) most people rarely develop the required amount of this vital energy to reach this stage.
It has been documented in various cultures and has been coined under many names like Bioelectricity, Life force, Prana, Qi, Runner'sHigh, Euphoria, ASMR, Ecstasy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Mana, Vayus, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Chills, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

With the money that reddit is, I guess saving, or making, now that it only has its official app, does it yet have the financial/technical ability to allow users to edit their usernames once a year?
