There have been alternative (often mad) health proponents who have insisted upon only eating fruit in the morning for years - similar(ish) reasons. I think there is probably something to it.

Whole fruit also has a lower glycemic index due to the fiber. This slow release of sugar helps reduce insulin resistance and balance out hormone response in general.

Hormonal imbalance is severely underrated as a root cause of common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, etc.

Having fruit in the morning is a little boost without the guilt. Adding in some light exercise, like walking, also helps prime the day. It even gets easier to wake up early for all this the more regularly it's done. It's one big reinforcement cycle for healthy habits.

I remember this being a thing in some Tony Robbins book!

I mean the most obvious reason is fibers

For me the most obvious reason is that we are primates and most primates have a fruit heavy diet. So I believe that's a reason for our human bodies to be very well adapted to fruit.

And that's the fibers, vitamins, minerals and sugars... The whole package.

Yeah, but during what part of the day do they eat it?! ^_^

We have a print on our wall that says "These are the good old days" - when I'm going through it with newborns, chaotic toddler tantrums and work stress...it's a good reminder that I will desperately wish to return to this stage of life one day in the future.

I recently added an AI Policy to my blog (https://rory.codes/ai-policy). The assumption now appears to be AI guilty unless proven innocent which I think is a travesty for readers and writers alike.

I use bullet points a lot in my writing and it seems that, specifically is causing people to accuse me of either:

    * Being an AI bot.
    * Using an LLM to generate it.

It's driving me bonkers!

Yup! I am, ironically, second guessing myself when doing edits now to ensure I don't sound like an LLM...thus altering my natural writing style in places.

Thanks for reminding me of this. One of the all time greats.

Thanks for sharing - I took a look at my own robots.txt and realised the sitemap was broken.

On a M4 Macbook Air, there was enough lag to make it unusable for me. I hit the shortcut and start speaking but there was always a 1-2sec delay before it would actually start transcribing even if the icon was displayed.

Curious if you were using AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones for this?

If so, there should be "keep microphone on" or similar setting in the config that may help with this, alternatively, I set my microphone to my MacBook mic so that my headphones aren't involved at all and there is much less latency on activation

Airpods Max (is that the name?) - the big ones.

Makes sense. If you enable the Debug menu (Shift+CMD+D), there is an option for "Always-On Microphone". Might be worth a try to remove that latency.

Yes, I’ve got the same situation too. I kind of learned to wait for one or two seconds before talking. I am using it with the AirPods, so maybe it’s indeed the Bluetooth thing.

What microphone are you using?

Airpods Max (is that the name?) - the big ones.

Yeah like the other commenters mentioned, using Bluetooth devices does not work super well at the moment. Hopefully I’ll have a fix at some point. There’s just some time over bluetooth to negotiate the connection and everything, and the app doesn’t do a good job showing this at all right now

On a Mac I definitely recommend using the internal mic even if wearing airpods

Thank you!

As per the OPs comment - but an email doesn't inherently come with

Would tend to agree. Interesting concept but unless it's all encrypted, I wouldn't trust this at all.

Connecting your washing machine to the internet and then observing the outgoing traffic and knowing that it is obscenely high simply IS tech-savvy as compared to the average person.

On HN or similar circles, maybe not - but that isn't Newsweek's audience.
