Hey Aurornis,

I definitely haven't looked into the underlying models of histamine to see how things work.

My observation is that, when I avoid histamine related foods, I sleep longer and fall asleep faster. The naive model is what led me to try that. But I totally acknowledge that there's likely way more at play under the hood. And I would like to know more about why this works! Or, at least why it works for me.

Thank you for pointing out the complexity of the underlying mechanism.

Yes, magnesium has helped.

For me, avoiding high histamine foods as well as histamine liberators had helped tremendously.

The theory:

Anti-histamines like Benadryl make you sleepy by blocking histamine.

Well, instead of blocking the histamine, get rid of it in the first place by avoiding histamine foods (for example aged or preserved meats).

Cool!

Any demos available of the web based browser?

( ｡ ♡ ‿ ♡ ｡ )

Love it ( • ‿ • )

The interface is beautiful!

Just curious... Did you implement each app natively? I.e. Swift and Kotlin? Or were you able to use a cross platform framework like Flutter?

Very cool!

Here's a demo of a library for interactively eliminating variables from sets of equations:

https://youtu.be/7ysUdxTfKhU?is=lE5o9Besk1XNnggP

Source:

https://github.com/dharmatech/combine-equations.py

The interactive gui part starts at 4:08. Before that is the setup and context of the example.

If you ever move in the direction of supporting sets of equations and isolating variables, consider using colors to indicate known values and unknown values as is done in this library.

I test this library on exercises you'd find in college physics (motion, constant acceleration, projectile motion, Newton's laws, etc.) since these involve sets of equations and eliminating variables so that you have expressions in terms of known values.

The above demo uses a jupyterlite notebook, so everything runs client side in the browser. No server side kernel necessary.

To use your interactive fluid style in this library to eliminate variables, I could see the user first isolating that variable. Then dragging that variable they want to eliminate over an instance of that variable in another equation. So that's effectively the user saying "replace this variable with this expression".

As a professional YouTuber, the main issue I instantly see with this is the lack of monetization.

That's a feature, not a bug.

Alan Kay once strongly critiqued web browsers. He argued for a much simpler architecture.

Your experiment somehow reminds me of the better approach that he was hinting at. I.e. I think he would appreciate your experiment as well as the neuroscience in your background.

Your project is really cool.

And, when a project announcement upsets this many people, it's a sign you're on the right path, or at least an interesting one.

Andros is also the guy behind the really cool Org Social:

I've been messing around with ocaml on plan9:

https://github.com/dharmatech/ocaml

Cool project!

Just for fun, looking at code count as a rough measure of complexity.

rubish: 26,842

rc (plan9 shell): 5,888

To be fair, rubish does a lot more than rc. rc is pretty minimal.

OK, time for inception... 9social on freenet-git

¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯

I definitely think we should be exploring decentralized approaches to services we use.

I also would like to see an emphasis on local-first approaches.

This experiment, in the spirit of UNIX, composes git and text files to form a social network:

Thanks for checking it out, pjmlp!

Hey pjmlp (waves),

I know you've been an advocate for OSes and languages that are outside of the mainstream.

I finally got around to living in plan9...

My experiment, a social network for plan9 written in rc and some awk.

https://github.com/dharmatech/9social

how do you manage discovery of other users

Here's my personal profile on 9social:

https://github.com/dharmatech/9social-user-dharmatech

Each profile has a `following` file which shows who they're following:

https://github.com/dharmatech/9social-user-dharmatech/blob/m...

So, once you know someone on the network (now you know me!) you can see who they follow. And who each of them follow... And so on.

how do you manage identity/authentication

Well, each user's profile is just a git repository (possibly on github). So I'd think about identity/authentication in the same way users think about it for their code projects.

If you have specific scenarios you're wondering about, feel free to ask.

Nice! This sounds just like what I'd been thinking the system should be like.

Cool! Thanks for checking it out!

I agree that owning the data is ideal:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48129841

I absolutely LOVE secure scuttlebutt (SSB).

Their local-first approach inspired that aspect of the 9social design.

However, a big difference is that SSB is a sophisticated protocol.

With 9social, the heavy lifting is done by git and a set of conventions.

You connect to your contacts via P2P, and download/upload updates to your social media network.

Yup, local-first is central to the design.

And, you only see who you explicitly follow.

I love this idea. Thank you for the examples!

Thanks for checking it out!

I love your username!

I hope there's a sympy-thagoras out there.

It's plan9 so:

"There's a filesystem for that."

¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯

Our social media should be decentralized and local first, allowing for bespoke clients on any OS.

This is an experiment towards that:

https://github.com/dharmatech/9social

The first client is written for plan9. This keeps the design honest. (If it can run on plan9/rc/acme...)

Video demo:

https://youtu.be/q6qVnlCjcAI

The current implementation is less than 3000 lines of code.

And speaking of Emacs... 9social was heavily inspired by an Emacs project called Org Social:

https://github.com/tanrax/org-social

Ah, awesome!

I'll head over to the releases.

Thanks for checking it out!

Amazing that it can run in plan9!

It would be awesome if go was a first class language on 9front. I.e. ships with it.

I've been messing around with a social network for plan9:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=q6qVnlCjcAI&si=MBCeM0QdA0WsKAe7

It's all in rc and awk. There are places where go (or clojure!) would have been nice.
