I think I convinced ~80% of my friends to move to Portugal now
Only need to bring my parents and some family now
Shockingly even the guy friends' girlfriends are now DTP (down to portugal) where with other places they were absolutely not (thailand, bali, mexico etc)
For any women readers why you think this is?

- very cold bedroom 18-20°C / 64-68°F (colder better)
- 9kg weighted blanket by CURA (adjust to your bodyweight)
- separate duvet from gf (I do this for years this might be the biggest sleep improvement)
- 3M ear plugs (I tried Ohropax wax but they only half as silent)
- eye mask
- red LED lights that go on before sleep in bedroom
- 0.2mg melatonin 45min before sleep then dim the lights (melatonin is ALWAYS sold in too high dose like
3mg, it should be 10x less or it doesn't work!)
- 4x per week cardio + strength training, my resting heart rate (RHR) is 52
- mostly clean diet of meat + vegetables + fruit + black coffee + sparkling water with lemon (and sometimes cheat with dark choco), not a lot of carbs (almost never pasta or regular potatoes for ex but sometimes rice or sweet potatoes)
- healthy biomarkers and body mass index, if you're overweight it WILL affect your sleep usually with sleep apnea etc
- read phone before sleep but with Smart Invert on and my custom super dark hack using iOS Zoom (but it doesn't zoom it just decreases brightness even further), then read Kindle a bit to really make me sleepy 😂
- we try avoid eating after 10pm, and we sleep around midnight to 1am, especially sweet stuff like fruits seem to have a bad effect on my sleep
- also DO not drink 2-3 hours before sleep or you wake up to go pee (which is more common when you get older)
- disclaimer: no kids (yet) so easy talking
Other things:
Temperature seems to be the biggest impact for me, if it gets too hot I wake up and once I wake up my brain gets active and it's sometimes hard to fall asleep. I already had this years ago and thought it was stress but even if I have life stuff going along I can sleep solid 8h without waking up if it's just a very cold bedroom.
If it's really super cold like 17-18°C / 62-64°FI just never wake up
For that you need a thick duvet though and your gf needs thicker cause women are generally colder
If you're culturally used to sleeping hotter, consider changing that because it seems to benefit almost anyone to sleep colder! An AC will do the trick.
As @bryan_johnson tells everyone, sleep is the most important thing to prioritize for your health
Good sleep benefits all your health markers, your immune system and so stops you from getting sick. Even cleaning your brain of plaque to avoid dementia when you're older
I always forget stuff but yes
- exterior electric black out blinds so it's completely dark except for a tiny bathroom light
The period from age 12 to 30 in Jesus life is somehow not described anywhere
He just showed up at 30 and did his thing
Most concepts Jesus preached seem to overlap strongly with Buddhism and even more with Hinduism like compassion, love your neighbors and enemies, detachment from materialism, treat others how you'd like to be treated (karma) etc
What's interesting is that Islam itself is a 500 year later fork of Christianity and Jesus is a non-holy prophet in the Qu'ran
So if that's true and you keep going back the origins of most religions may just be Hinduism and Judaism
So last year @Wayfair, an $8B company, launched their own AI interior design tool
This week someone at Wayfair asked me to cancel their subscription of , which is my AI interior design tool launched 2 years ago
I was confused why would they sign up to it if they have their own? Well, because they signed up to it before they had their own and used it to build their version of it! 😂
They had 8 different accounts on Interior AI that ran for months 🤯
I learnt a bit about competitive spying today!
Told ya the big companies were checking what indie hackers did, that was my entire point when I said "indie hacking is dead", we're part of the big market now where billion dollar companies are INSIDE our apps!InteriorAI.com
If I did competitive spying I'd at least use a different domain name though, not my own company @wayfair.com
P.S. it's all good, I think it's even legal, just kinda funny a big billion dollar company is INSIDE MY APPS!
I test parameters on Photo AI on a % of photos taken
Then I check what % of photos are ❤️ favorited
Based on that I can figure out what parameters is better on 700,000 photos taken per month
But sometimes you get 1 or 2 users ❤️ favoriting lots of photos with one specific parameter which affects the data and makes one parameter choice come out as a winner when actually it's just a few users doing it
Any stat solution for this?
Right now my SQL is smth like this
SELECT upscale_strength,count(upscale_strength) as cnt FROM photos WHERE upscale_strength IS NOT NULL AND (saved IS NOT NULL) GROUP BY upscale_strength ORDER BY cnt DESC LIMIT 10
I can add count(distinct(user_id)) for ex:
SELECT upscale_strength,count(upscale_strength) as cnt,count(distinct(user_id)) FROM photos WHERE (saved IS NOT NULL) GROUP BY upscale_strength ORDER BY cnt DESC LIMIT 10
