  • Except research conducted by men like Sam Parnia rules that out and shows that conciousness persists after death.

    That’s not what he showed though. What he was saying is that brain death isn’t the hard on/off line that we think it is, and that in some cases, it’s possible to restore some brain function in a brain that had been declared to have died.

    Only problem is that even if the person is barely clinging onto life there’s still the issue of conciousness being strong and present where none can exist.

    Sam Parnia quite explicitly talks about “restoration” of brain function. This does not mean that consciousness exists independent of the brain, he’s stating that he believes we can return consciousness to some brains that we believe are beyond that point, and the boundary at which the brain/consciousness “dies” isn’t quite as clear cut as it seems.

    He also claims that the experience of consciousness might not be centered in the brain, despite interacting with it, but at this point, he is no longer backed by research or medical experience, and is just theorising.

    Which is to say, the research and experiences he talks about do suggest that our “time of death” and treatment of brain death as a binary yes/no situation may be incorrect.

    However, it doesn’t say anything new in regards to life after death, souls, or anything along those lines, and Sam Parnia’s talk in these areas is supposition rather than evidence based.




  • I’ve got a question about how reitti calculates significant places/visits.

    I was thinking of adjust gps logger so that it doesn’t log points if they’re within 10m of the last point it logged. That will clear up the data when I’m at home or work, so that there is less of a random squiggle of location data. It will record me arriving at home, and leaving home, but not much in between.

    Will that impact how reitti calculates locations though? Is it looking at the number of points, or is it simply a matter of duration within a particular vicinity?


  • Having all of this data stored in a location I can control has been really good.

    But yesterday, it was pointed out to me that the API reitti provides means I have access to over a decades worth of location history that I can use to geotag my photo collection! That is a game changer. I’ve been trying to find a way to pull that information from google location history for a long time, and it turns out, you’ve created it!

    This is really valuable to me, so I want you to know just how much I appreciate the effort you’ve put in to making it. Thank you



  • Well, the last update seems to have cleared the queue, and all of my history from that 10 year import now shows, with trips and places identified!

    But now, it’s having issues with importing the new google format import. I’ve got a 34MB file there that goes back to 2017, and this data says that it has imported, but then never appears in my history.

    If it’s relevant, there is overlap in the data, as my 10 year takeout import went up to 2023, and my “new format” import starts in 2017 and went a couple of days ago. I changed my google account in 2017, but logged in to both on my phone simultaneously, so I was accruing location data on both accounts at the same time for a while before I turned it off on my old account.


  • Since I last commented, the queue has jumped from about 9000 outstanding items, to 15,000 outstanding items, and it appears that I have timelines for a large amount of my history now.

    However, the estimated time is still slowly creeping up (though only by a minute or two, despite adding 6000 more items to the queue).

    I haven’t uploaded anything manually that might have triggered the change in queue size.

    Is there any external calls made during processing this queue that might be adding latency?

    tl;dr - something is definitely happening





  • It’s a 1gig json file that has about 10 years of data. I get multiple repeats of the rabbit timeout in the logs. The Job Status section tells me that it’s got just under 9 hours of processing remaining for just over 16,000 in the stay-detection-queue. The numbers change slightly, so something is happening, but it’s been going for over 12 hours now, and the time remaining is slowly going up, not down.
