I sleep like an artisan, in the time honored tradition of my ancestors. as a bedcore tradsleeper, my unconscious is skillmaxed.

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 38 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I've been working on boosting my Sleep Elo lately, I started out at just 500 but I'm up to around 1600 now. I think in a few more months I might try to become a pro sleeper. I just ordered some RGB Alienware pillows, once I get those set up I can really become a Slumber-Chad.

TapeAI, the artificial intelligence that has been fed thousands of hours of people using all kinds of tape so that it can mathematically deduce the exact size and placement of tape when sealing items, in order to optimize usage and eliminate waste.

Simply submit to the app a ten second clip of the item to be sealed, and TapeAi will scan it and deliver a tape-based solution that is custom tailored for your problem.

[–] tricerotops@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You got any AI in them tulips?

What if it came in a pot with an AI-controlled LED?

I white-knuckle my sleep. I don't optimize SHIT. I have no stats. I surrender to the primeval will of Morpheus like a goddamned neanderthal. My pillow does not have an app. My mattress has no firmware.

They're going to put ads in dreams, aren't they?

I looked it up. It is a smart mattress with an annual subscription for features like auto-adjusting height, heating/cooling, and health monitoring

  • Cheapest model is $2648
  • Most expensive model goes up to $6796. This includes:
    • the most expensive subscription
    • largest size mattress (California king)
    • all the add-ons
  • The smart blanket alone is $1000 and is not machine-washable or dry-cleanable
  • The mattress does not come with legs included in the base model
  • Its subscriptions are between $200 and $400 billed annually
  • A subscription is required for any of the functionality you’re paying for. Without the subscription, it becomes a dumb old mattress
[–] shallot@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Gotta go to work so I can pay this month's mattress subscription

[–] VibeCoder@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

I got a nut

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

it becomes a dumb old mattress

the heat thing is water based so it really becomes less than a dumb old mattress because water bed with no temparature control is going to be miserable

I love the exchange about biphasic sleep as if it’s some long lost sleep pattern from the dark ages. Isn’t biphasic sleep just taking a nap in the middle of the day, something many people still do.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There's several ways to do it. Taking a 20 or 90 minute nap mid day is common, it can also mean waking up for a few hours in the night. I'd say usually when people say biphasic they are referring to the later but yes, a nap and a long sleep is also biphasic.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

Fair enough. I did know someone that used to follow a polyphasic sleep schedule that would have him up sometimes twice a night.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 16 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yeah, siestas are biphasic. Once again "innovators" have "discovered" something people all over the world were already doing.

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

bi phasic sleep posed as a preindustrial phenomenon is a bunk but widespread pop history story

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

regardless, naps fuckin rule

Using AI to track and adjust your sleep, just like the good ol' days hundreds of years ago.

I was around when John Sleep invented Sleeping^TM^ in 1972

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Actually sleep was developed by accident when a British team of scientists led by John Sleep were working on developing a more effective smoko. Prior to that, people were lying in their beds at night with their eyes open

John Sleep remains the only person to have been awarded both the Nobel Prize in medicine and the Nobel Peace Prize for the same achievement.

John Sleep invented sleeping when he tried to lay down twice

[–] sgtlion@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

Maybe all our sleep is disrupted by a massively fucked schedule and lifestyle dictated by modern society? Nah, it's just because your mattress isn't ai powered

Right, where do I put my feet?

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

If you sleep better, you can sleep less, which means you can work longer hours 👍

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

Sleep is one of the last things I enjoy, they can take it from my cold dead…. Brain?

Sleep, but AI

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

A YouTuber tried to "go camping in Skyrim" via VR once, not surprisingly having a big thing on your head makes it hard to relax even with the soothing sounds of Jeremy Soule.

sleep went woke in 1964 when the civil rights act was signed
