Does that mean I can have my waking hours back?

I've had coding dreams. Not bad for creative ideas, terrible for implementation.

[–] Im_old 16 points 1 year ago

I sometimes dream about a problem I've been trying to solve for a day or two. The dream usually gives me an 80-90% correct solution, I just need to connect some dots. I still remember dreaming of a kernel config issue, reading the solution on a trains timetable in a train station.

Wouldn't do it everyday though.

I’ll dream up a solution to a problem that’s like 50% of the way there. The other half is like “let’s use this unicorn horn to guide us to the cause of the segfault”

I can't code on my dreams, the letters onscreen are unreadable until I get close and the screen changes whenever I focus

Some years back I've practiced lucid dreaming and managed to actively control my dreams a couple of times. While it was an exciting experience, it was definitely not as relaxing as a regular night of sleep.

So I would say, the startup's concept in general (solving work related issues while you sleep) might be doable but it would take away the night's relaxing element. So it would be more like working all night awake INSTEAD of sleeping.

Someone will implement this to advertise to you in your sleep, guaranteed.

If I get an ad for a product in my dreams I will burn down the closest store carrying that product.

And Copilot would train on it too!

This headline was a bit of a rollercoaster:

"Lucid" - ooh cool car startup, what did they do now

"Lucid dream startup" - What do you mean dream startup?

[The full headline] - "Oh God no take me out of this timeline!!"

Needs more waking up to adjust due to pain.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This was moments before I remember my knee pain

For me it's carpal tunnel and lower back... So far...

Great. Capitalism is Freddy Krueger now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm only okay with any of this, if I'm now making money to sleep. Maybe I can quit my day job and only do sleep work?

With the economy like it is, probably not, but still.
