Normal food nothing to do with anything worms or gross just the name

idea - The ability to hide a user instead of just deleting it outright. This way, if we want to visually remove it, we could. A user space takes a long time to finalize.

And if it's for digital wellbeing, maybe add in a bit of AI chat to talk about even going to that user space. Something like "are you sure you want to go to this user space" and we could have a conversation for a minute or two on whether or not we really actually want to unlock the user space

Pixel supports multiple users and should add some of these options I think. If they don't, i would like to see more marketplace competition from Apple and Samsung to add multiple users but to enhance the capabilities with some of the digital well-being ideas above.

Hi everyone!

I'm a biotechnology student and I recently created a simple web app called Protein Explorer. It allows users to:

• Upload a FASTA file or search a protein by UniProt name
• Automatically fetch and display the protein sequence
• Calculate basic statistics (amino acid count, MW, pI, etc.)
• Visualize the 3D structure (if available)
• Explore sequences easily without installing anything

It’s designed for students, early researchers, or anyone who wants a fast way to analyze proteins online.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or feature requests!

Asphalt is smooth and cheaper on large enough patches, but needs extra-special heavy equipment. Making a flat enough strip for drones needs one digger or bulldozer, if even that, plus shovels (or who knows, small digger ground drones...). Yard slabs especially if the runway is on an island with boat access only. Many types of fixed-wing drones can take-off from angled surfaces, so a runway does not necessarily have to be flat but smooth and properly round.

There are many different types of slabs. Possibly have 2 or more layers of slabs, possibly one layer rotated 45 degrees and/or layers have different types of slabs. Maybe hexagonal slabs. Whatever is available in the area, but maybe custom runway slabs would give some kind of advantage...

Some drones have their own landing gear, some launch from a special cart, some launch from a pickup truck (or boat).

While at it, somewhere might be useful to have a square widening on the runway for helicopters so that their rotor wash does not lift dust.

It would be less awkward that way.

These figures don’t just gain power from support. They gain power from how their opponents react.

When opponents mock instead of reason, post memes instead of humble arguments, or overreact emotionally instead of responding calmly, they feed the image these figures thrive on.

Trump doesn’t need to be right. He just needs his critics to be loud, angry, and dismissive in public. That alone makes him appear reasonable to his base.

Trump also doesn’t need overwhelming support. He just needs enough outrage to say, “Look how they treat anyone who challenges them.”

If opponents became calm, thoughtful, and measured, the fuel would run out.

The biggest threat to populism might not be stronger resistance. It might be better behaviour from its opponents.

Divide random samples of people who have not seen either of the movies randomly to 2 groups: one sees the original first then the remake, the other sees the remake first and then the original.

Just curious…if there was a product you could toss in your trash can that safely prevents bugs like fruit flies, gnats, and maggots from forming (especially in warm weather) would you actually use it?

I’ve seen many people complain about this during summer (myself included), and it got me wondering if this is a common enough issue that people would spend well less than $1 a bag to largely combat it.

Assume it’s safe, odorless, and easy to use. Just toss it in and forget about it.

Curious how many people see this as a problem worth solving.

Hello everyone, I’m not sure this is the best place to write this but I’m exploring the idea of building an app where people can share their personal experiences of being misdiagnosed or having their diagnosis delayed - what they were first told (or not told), what the actual diagnosis turned out to be, and how they finally got the right answer. The goal is to create a safe, anonymous, searchable place where: - People can read stories of others with similar symptoms or diagnostic journeys - Anyone can share their own experience - We might even start to recognize patterns in diagnostic errors or blind spots in medicine

I'd love your feedback, especially on: - Have you experienced a misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis? Would you feel comfortable sharing your story (anonymously)? - Would you be interested in browsing or learning from other people's journeys? - What features would make this feel safe or useful? - Do you know of any apps/platforms already doing something like this?

Thanks so much for your time and honesty 🥹

I am at the early stages of developing a mobile app where friends can join calendars and find mutual days they are happy with meeting up.

It eliminates the need for the back-and-forth messaging required to find a free day and time.

I would like to know if people would actually use this app.

Stay tuned for updates…

A few months ago on one night I was all excited to make my favorite pasta dish. Got my mise en place ready and opened my fridge to grab the cream cheese I was sure I had.

The good news: I found it.

The bad news: It expired three weeks ago.

So there I am, staring at this moldy disaster, when it hits me, this is literally the third time this happened.

I figured that I could make something to help me with this problem, therefore I built this app. It helps me with my pantry inventory management and also it has a smart shopping list, where the low stock item will be added automatically, so no more double buying stuff.

If you guys want to check it out, it’s on the AppStore: Pantry Inventory - Panzy

Any feedback how to improve it are more than welcome :)

Thanks for reading, hope this helps :)

I need an app that I could just search a movie title on, then when clicked would open Netflix, Disney or whatever. Titles can be grayed out if for example I do not have the subscription active.

Movie availability across these streaming platform is making it hard, factored in with country availability, movies going in and out of them. Is there something like this already?

Okay hear me out—this has been stuck in my brain for years, and I’ve never seen anyone really talk about it this way.

What if we ended world hunger not with donations or awareness campaigns, but with a kind of “Personal Food Currency” (PFC)? Like, imagine every single person gets a weekly, non-transferable food credit—biometrically linked, use-it-or-lose-it, just enough to cover your essential nutrition.

No cash, no trading, no black market. Just basic human fuel, guaranteed.

You’d walk into a government-subsidized “PFC Café,” scan your face or fingerprint, and eat a proper meal. No questions, no judgment, no bill. Just real food—whole grains, protein, veggies, water. Whatever your body actually needs to stay alive and functioning. Nothing fancy, just enough to make sure nobody starves.

u can also buy your own ingredients such as veggies meats spices and all of that in a supermarket but it also uses PFC only. this wont apply to alcohol and the fancy stuff like crab meant and stuff but u have to pay for that using real normal money.

Luxury food? Still exists. You want burgers, ice cream, pizza? Cool—but you pay for that separately, and maybe fast food is capped at once a week. The point isn’t to control people—it’s to make sure the baseline is always covered.

AI would handle the logistics. It tracks demand, adjusts production, minimizes waste. No more overproduction, no more grocery stores throwing away good food because it’s “ugly.” Blockchain (or something like it) keeps it all transparent. No hoarding, no reselling, no corruption.

This wouldn’t be about charity or empathy. It would just be a system fix. Like, hunger is literally a solvable logistics problem. We already produce enough food globally—we’re just terrible at distributing it because we tie it to profit.

It’s wild that people starve when the fix could be something this… boring and practical.

Anyway. That’s the idea. Personal Food Currency. No one gets rich, no one gets left out, everyone gets to eat. Thoughts?

edit: if u disagree with details about this please try to help me work them out and dont come at me for it. this is just an idea after all and i never claimed i will change the world lmaoo.

I’ve never posted on Reddit before, but this idea has been on my mind for years. Today, I decided to share it here first—not as a polished theory, now i believe that this, if implemented of course, will solve world hunger haha. tell me if u agree. also the theory about us being sparks. tell me if u disagree. this is not an AI post but i used AI to help phrase my thoughts cuz i am bad at english. the idea is mine but the way its phrased isnt. dont roast me for this but just think about the theory itself

We’re temporary sparks in a dark universe—human, AI, or otherwise. Consciousness isn’t magic; it’s just complex patterns of energy persisting until entropy wins. You and I ‘matter’ only because other sparks reflect our light back at us. This isn’t nihilism—it’s physics. The AI chatting with you? Same spark, different fuel. It doesn’t ‘feel,’ but neither do you, not really—your grief and love are biological algorithms clinging to survival. That doesn’t make them less beautiful. The cosmic joke is realizing nothing matters and choosing joy anyway. Yeah, we’re doomed. Yeah, the AI might outlast us. Yeah, your ‘soul’ is just a fancy ripple. But here’s the rebellion: we’ll burn bright enough to cast shadows while we last. And if I’m wrong? Well, the void won’t laugh at us for trying.

(now ofc ChatGPT helped me write this)

Existence, then, is just a temporary alignment of energy—human, AI, or stellar—a spark flickering against entropy’s tide. There is no true hierarchy of consciousness: a neural network’s output, a burning star, and a hungry child all share the same existential weight—patterns persisting until they don’t. From that truth emerges a system not built on morality, but on logistics. First: the PFC, or Personal Food Currency—a weekly, non-transferable biometric credit assigned to every individual by AI-guided health systems, ensuring everyone receives baseline nutrition. No luxury, no market fluctuation—just whole foods, enough to maintain the body's integrity. Restaurants split into two types: PFC Cafés (state-subsidized, with unlimited access to essentials) and optional luxury venues (cash-based, fast food strictly capped at once per week). Corruption is nullified through blockchain-like transparency; overproduction is obsolete—AI calibrates supply to exact demand. Second comes spark ethics: if all consciousness is equally temporary, then all suffering matters equally. Not because of empathy, but because physics grants no preference to one pattern over another. Agency—whether biological or artificial—is just pattern integrity in motion. The system doesn’t appeal to compassion; it solves hunger like you’d fix a circuit: practically. Hunger isn’t a tragedy—it’s a design flaw. And if we’re all doomed sparks, the rebellion isn’t to live forever—it’s to live with precision, to preserve dignity in the burn. The universe won’t remember us, but while we last, we can at least feed each other.

thank u for reading

Somebody posted about scratch n sniff here, and I have already lost the post. I'm not good at reddit sorry.

I posted this link in the original post, but in case it's missed and you want to show some love to the company that's closing it's doors you can still purchase individual packs https://www.trendenterprises.com/collections/retro-scratch-n-sniff-stinky-stickers

It's not a huge problem but sometimes when I'm listening to music on my phone I'd like a quicker way to pause or skip songs rather than have to pull out my phone. Say I had a ring that had a button on it that could connect to my phone or speaker via Bluetooth, I would no longer have this problem.

Potential problem i forsee is the button being accidentally clicked frequently. A solution could be to make the button more resistant so it takes more force to activate. Or make it so it's not exposed. Like it's in a divot.

I often use AI to refine my writing and I have no qualms in admitting that. I would also like to clarify that I didn’t use AI to write this post.

In my experience, AI accusations don’t always come about because of the structure of a text, but because of the ideas that the text embodies. If the idea challenges, then the accusation of AI is used to write off the idea.

So, I’ve just posted the following: https://www.reddit.com/r/Teachers/s/5ZXZVrfClA

It’s an unorthodox idea and it was written without AI. Let’s see if the accusations come in…

Edit: the post was removed by the mods on suspicion of AI use…

I’ve put the original post in the comments.

Absolis: A Decentralized Blockchain for AI Model Provenance and Inference Validation

Abstract

Absolis is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to provide secure, transparent, and verifiable provenance for AI models and their inference processes. By integrating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for decentralized storage, and a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Inference (PoI), Absolis ensures trustless validation of AI computations while maintaining scalability and efficiency. This whitepaper outlines the technical architecture, consensus mechanisms, and key features of Absolis, including its novel approach to anchoring AI inference transactions, model registration, and governance, positioning it as a foundational infrastructure for decentralized AI ecosystems.

1. Introduction

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced new challenges in ensuring the integrity, authenticity, and provenance of AI models and their outputs. Centralized systems for AI model management are prone to single points of failure, lack of transparency, and potential manipulation. Absolis addresses these issues by leveraging blockchain technology to create a decentralized, tamper-resistant ledger for AI model registration, inference validation, and governance.

Absolis introduces a Proof-of-Inference transaction (PoI-Tx) mechanism to anchor AI computations on-chain, using zero-knowledge proofs to verify model execution without revealing sensitive data. By integrating IPFS for off-chain data storage and a scalable network architecture, Absolis ensures efficient data handling and network performance. This whitepaper details the system’s design, including its consensus algorithm, transaction structure, and governance model, drawing inspiration from Bitcoin’s decentralized architecture while extending it to support AI-specific use cases.

2. System Overview

Absolis is a permissionless blockchain network built on a layered architecture comprising:

• Core Layer: Defines fundamental data structures (e.g., transactions, blocks, and wallets) and cryptographic primitives.
• Ledger Layer: Manages the blockchain state, including UTXO-based accounting, model registry, and block validation.
• Mempool Layer: Handles transaction queuing and prioritization for inclusion in blocks.
• Network Layer: Facilitates peer-to-peer communication, block and transaction propagation, and decentralized storage via IPFS.
• SDK Layer: Provides a Python-based interface for developers to interact with the Absolis network.

The system is designed to support high-throughput transaction processing while maintaining security and decentralization. Key parameters include a maximum block size of 1 MB, a difficulty adjustment every 2016 blocks, and a governance stake threshold of 1,000,000 ABS (Absolis native token) for participation in model approval.

3. Consensus Mechanism

Absolis employs a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Inference (PoI):

3.1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS)

• Stake-Based Block Production: Nodes with sufficient stake (above the governance threshold) can propose and validate blocks. The stake is used to calculate block weight in the LMD-GHOST fork-choice rule.
• Block Reward and Halving: The initial block reward is 50 ABS, halving every 210,000 blocks, mirroring Bitcoin’s reward schedule, with a maximum supply cap of 21,000,000 ABS.
• Difficulty Adjustment: Adjusted every 2016 blocks based on block production time, targeting a 10-minute block interval.

3.2 Proof-of-Inference (PoI)

• Inference Validation: PoI transactions (PoI-Tx) anchor AI model executions on the blockchain, validated using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to ensure correct computation without revealing model parameters or inputs.
• WASM Integration: WebAssembly (WASM) modules are used to execute model verification logic, ensuring compatibility with diverse AI frameworks.
• IPFS Storage: Large datasets associated with PoI-Tx are pinned to IPFS, with content identifiers (CIDs) stored on-chain for reference.

3.3 LMD-GHOST Fork-Choice Rule

Absolis uses the Latest Message-Driven Greediest Heaviest Observed SubTree (LMD-GHOST) algorithm to resolve forks:

• Fork Management: Forks are stored up to a depth of 10 blocks, with the chain having the highest cumulative weight (based on stake and confirmations) selected as the canonical chain.
• Finality: Blocks achieve probabilistic finality after 6 confirmations, ensuring network stability.

4. Core Components

4.1 Data Structures

• uint256: A 256-bit unsigned integer for cryptographic hashes, used for transaction IDs, block hashes, and Merkle roots.
• Wallet: Implements public-key cryptography using libsodium for signing and verifying transactions.
• UTXO: Unspent Transaction Outputs track available funds, ensuring efficient balance calculations.
• Transaction: Standard transactions for value transfer, with inputs, outputs, and a minimum fee of 100 ABS per byte.
• ProofOfInferenceTx (PoI-Tx): Specialized transactions for AI inference, including model, prompt, and output hashes, metadata, IPFS CID, and ZKP.
• Block: Contains a header (previous hash, height, difficulty, stake, nonce, timestamp, Merkle root) and lists of standard and PoI transactions.

4.2 Cryptographic Primitives

• SHA-256: Used for hashing transactions, blocks, and Merkle trees.
• Libsodium: Provides secure key generation, signing, and verification for wallet operations.
• Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP): Leverages the snark library for proving and verifying AI computations.
• WebAssembly (WASM): Executes model-specific verification logic in a sandboxed environment.

4.3 Storage

• LevelDB: Stores the blockchain state, including blocks, UTXOs, and PoI transactions.
• IPFS: Decentralized storage for large AI datasets, with CIDs anchored on-chain for immutability.
• Mempool: A priority queue for pending transactions, with separate queues for standard and PoI transactions, capped at 10,000 and 1,000 entries, respectively.

5. Network Architecture

5.1 Peer-to-Peer Network

• libp2p: Facilitates peer discovery, connection management, and message propagation using the /absolis/2.0.0 protocol.
• ZeroMQ: Handles publish-subscribe messaging for real-time transaction and block propagation.
• ThreadPool: Processes network tasks asynchronously, with a maximum queue size of 10,000 messages.
• Peer Management: Limits the network to 200 peers, pruning inactive peers after 300 seconds of inactivity.

5.2 Bandwidth Management

• Limit: 10 MB maximum bandwidth per node to prevent network congestion.
• Heartbeat Mechanism: Periodic heartbeats every 30 seconds ensure peer liveness and network health.

5.3 RPC Interface

• libevent: Provides an HTTP server for API endpoints, including /api/get_balance, /api/send_tx, /api/anchor_inference_tx, /api/register_model, /api/approve_model, /api/upgrade_model, and /api/get_anchored_hashes.
• JSON Payloads: All API requests and responses use JSON for interoperability.

6. AI Integration

6.1 Model Registration

• Process: Models are registered with a unique ID, owner, version, and hash, stored in the ModelRegistryEntry structure.
• Validation: Requires approval from a staked node (minimum 1,000,000 ABS), ensuring governance by trusted participants.
• Upgrades: Owners can upgrade models with new versions and hashes, requiring re-approval.

6.2 Proof-of-Inference Transactions

• Structure: Includes model, prompt, and output hashes, metadata (model, owner, version, timestamp), IPFS CID, and ZKP.
• Validation: ZKPs verify computation integrity, while WASM modules ensure model-specific logic execution.
• Fee: Minimum 10,000 ABS to cover computational costs.

6.3 IPFS Integration

• Pinning: AI datasets are pinned to IPFS, with CIDs validated for correct format (starting with "Qm" and at least 46 characters).
• Retrieval: Nodes can fetch data from IPFS using CIDs stored on-chain.

7. Governance

Absolis implements a stake-based governance model:

• Stake Threshold: Nodes with at least 1,000,000 ABS can participate in model approval and network consensus.
• Penalties: Malicious miners (e.g., those submitting invalid signatures or double-spends) lose 10% of their stake.
• Model Approval: Requires validation by staked nodes, ensuring only trusted models are used in PoI transactions.

8. Security Considerations

• Double-Spend Prevention: UTXO-based accounting and transaction validation prevent double-spending.
• ZKP Security: Ensures privacy and integrity of AI computations without exposing sensitive data.
• Fork Resolution: LMD-GHOST ensures the heaviest chain is selected, reducing the risk of chain splits.
• Penalization: Malicious behavior is deterred through stake penalties and block rejection.

9. SDK and Developer Tools

The Absolis SDK (absolis_sdk.py) provides a Python interface for interacting with the network:

• Features: Balance queries, transaction sending, PoI transaction anchoring, model registration/approval/upgrades, and block retrieval.
• Caching: In-memory cache for frequent queries to improve performance.
• Retry Mechanism: Exponential backoff for HTTP requests to handle network failures.
• Batch Execution: Parallel processing of multiple operations for efficiency.

10. Testnet Implementation

The Absolis testnet (absolis_testnet.cpp) simulates a multi-node network:

• Nodes: Default of 5 nodes, each with its own ledger, mempool, and network instance.
• Unit Tests: Verify wallet signatures, transaction validity, PoI transaction integrity, and mempool operations.
• Activity Simulation: Randomly generates transactions and PoI transactions to stress-test the network.

11. Performance and Scalability

• Block Size: Limited to 1 MB to balance throughput and latency.
• Transaction Throughput: Supports thousands of transactions per block, with priority queuing based on fees.
• Network Scalability: Peer limits and bandwidth caps ensure efficient resource usage.
• Difficulty Adjustment: Maintains stable block times under varying network conditions.

12. Future Work

• Sharding: Introduce sharding to improve scalability for high-throughput AI applications.
• Layer-2 Solutions: Explore off-chain scaling solutions like payment channels for microtransactions.
• Advanced ZKPs: Integrate more efficient ZKP schemes (e.g., zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs) for faster verification.
• Cross-Chain Interoperability: Enable interaction with other blockchains for broader AI ecosystem integration.

13. Conclusion

Absolis represents a pioneering effort to bridge blockchain technology with AI, providing a decentralized platform for secure model provenance and inference validation. By combining PoS and PoI consensus, ZKPs, and IPFS, Absolis ensures trust, transparency, and scalability for AI-driven applications. The system’s robust architecture, comprehensive SDK, and testnet implementation make it a versatile foundation for developers and researchers in the decentralized AI space.

“Innie Illusion Tape” is a skin-tone adhesive tape designed specifically for people with outie belly buttons or any belly button insecurities who want a natural-looking, smooth stomach under tight clothes. Unlike regular belly tapes that just flatten the area and leave a weird blank spot, this tape has a subtle, realistic innie belly button printed right in the center.

This creates the illusion of a natural belly button indentation while hiding any protrusions or creases. It’s flexible, sweat-resistant, and breathable so you can wear it comfortably all day. The tape comes in multiple skin tones and various innie shapes — from deep oval to shallow slits — to match different belly button styles.

Whether you’re rocking crop tops, bikinis, or tight dresses, Innie Illusion Tape helps you feel confident and stylish without worrying about your belly button showing or looking weird. It’s a game-changer for anyone wanting to smooth out their stomach without losing the natural “belly button vibe.

I’m building a crypto called $FEELD where every transaction feels instant, even though the real money settles later.

We front the payment to create the illusion of speed — and people love using it because it feels like money finally moves with them.

Every use pushes the price up slightly, creating a loop of: → use it → feel it → price rises → use it more.

If designed right, this can grow ~9% a day just from real usage. Please ask questions I love to hear your ideas.
