Find people in her field who are already hopping on the wave. Better still, gently persuade her to find those people. She'll probably know where to look. In fact, I'd be surprised if her professional newsletters aren't already starting to surface those folks.

So... ummm... the website and all the submitter's comments here seem very Claude generated, no?

Spam filters are going to have to get a lot more sophisticated. "Slop" filters, even.

I'm unsure of how this information is being presented. But it's entirely possible for the majority of people on Earth to avoid all those things. And it's entirely possible for many people who are (perhaps unwittingly) funding U.S. defense companies to stop doing so.

It's already illegal to threaten journalists [in] America

Not necessarily, it depends on the pressure and the intent.

In America we generally make bad things illegal, not activities that could become motivation for bad things.

I didn't mention making anything illegal. I suggested constraining Polymarket and similar.

Should we ban [X]

I didn't mention banning anything.

Polymarket gamblers have pressured at least one journalist regarding reporting of missile strikes. This requires regulation or, as others here have suggested, non-anonymity, maybe other measures too.

A crossword puzzle generator, just for fun. Grid generator in Python because it's easy to hack around and grid generation doesn't need to be particularly fast. Go for populating the grid with words because with large grids there are combinatorial explosions, and Go's speed is beneficial.

Not source-available yet because it's a bunch of hacks (particularly the Python) but maybe one day.

It very much depends on the crime. The truly awful stuff is committed by intelligent people.

And there's always a product provider who's willing to add that flag, despite all the warnings.

To save people the digging, here's the git repo:

"FFF stands for freakin fast fuzzy file finder (pick 3) and it is an opinionated fuzzy file picker for your AI agent and Neovim. Just for file search, but we do the file search really fff well.

FFF is a tool for grepping, fuzzy file matching, globbing, and multigrepping with a strong focus on performance and useful search results. For humans - provides an unbelievable typo-resistant experience, for AI agents - implements the fastest file search with additional free memory suggesting the best search results based on various factors like frecency, git status, file size, definition matches, and more."

Kudos for listing the things you're *not* willing to work on, and for those things in particular.

Erm.... you're not exactly proving them wrong are you.

I feel this sneaking up on me. I've only recently allowed Claude to actually edit some files directly, rather than just show me suggested edits. It could certainly be addictive to just hit enter while code magically appears, thinking "oh yeah, I totally would have done it like that".

rapidly leading to task paralysis with the sheer scale of the plan.

Yikes. I feel seen.

So let's say there's a causative link (see other comments here for why this may not be the case), it would take a lifetime of daily complex spatial navigation for several hours every day to significantly reduce Alzheimer's disease risk, and it's still not guaranteed. If there's a linear dose response (a big if) it would still require hours per week for decades for a more modest impact.

That seems unattainable for anyone at all.

Man, Alzheimer's disease sucks. We need more investment and more research into this horrible illness.

Personally I'm curious about the impact of super-early diagnosis, decades before symptoms, and interventions that maximally slow progress.

Oh I'm sure the grifters will find ways in. The other disciplines may have provided a "moat" for the past few decades, but it won't last forever.

I'm not so sure. It's definitely the de facto standard, but I suspect minimal HTML is better. Just enough tags to add structure and meaning (H1-H6, p, a, em, section for structure including nesting, maybe more). LLMs were trained on a lot of HTML, they're good at processing it. HTML requires more tokens than markdown but I believe it's worth it. I'll find out in a few weeks as I experiment with both.

Yep both are widely used. I forget which markdowns extensions they originated from. The Pandoc website probably has the details.

It uses MJML under the hood.

Whether you can or can't in reality is moot, unfortunately. The literature search in biomedical fields should indeed be theoretically reproducible. I don't know about other fields, but it would seem odd to me if a search was not reproducible, that would lead to a very arbitrary literature selection.

As for the experiments, yes, in experimental fields. But in all (most?) fields, including non-experimental, the whole process should be well documented so it could be reproduced end-to-end if possible. If it's not reproducible there should be good, well explained reasons why not.

Note that reproduciblity does not necessarily mean the exact same answer will definitely emerge, just that the methods can be followed closely.

Quite probably there are differences between fields. In biomedical literature reviews the search terms and databases are detailed, and (in systematic reviews) a PRISMA flowchart [0] provided. The theory being that other researchers could repeat the searches and the in/out decisions and get the same stack of papers to review.

While your dashboard sounds fancy, this part raises issues:

I run ChatGPT Pro to collect all relevant papers

Any literature review must be reproducible. If you can't say exactly what queries you ran against exactly what databases, you'll get into trouble. Whether or not that's the way things should be is irrelevant: it's the way things are.

You should ask your supervisor if your approach is okay. If necessary, ask it from a theoretical perspective: "would it be okay if I were to....?" If your supervisor is unavailable then seek advice from their colleagues.

Since you mention ADHD, you're likely to be strongly motivated by novelty. Don't spend time building a dashboard that you could spend on writing your thesis. If you're not getting support from your university, get it now. It might not help, but it's a signal to the university that you're engaging with the system.

Triple, according to Wikipedia.

Well, how about you lower your head below your hand and twist your neck to bring your mouth level with the chopsticks?

At least 15 years, if the git history is to be believed.

I always feel this argument misses a point. SkyNet may still be a long way off, but autonomous killer drones are here. That is a bad situation my dudes.

Every step on the journey towards SkyNet is worse than the preceding step. Let's not split hairs about which step we're on: it's getting worse, and we should stop that.

Every frontier tech company is convinced that the tech they are working towards is as humanity-useful as a cure for cancer, and yet as dangerous as nuclear weapons.

Amd they alone are responsible enough to govern it.

Slightly off-topic, but.... the website is grindingly slow on my Samsung Galaxy A16 with Firefox. To the point that typing is a chore. Can you slim it down? Potential customers will not want to see such a slow interface.

Food? Some products sold as food are most certainly addictive.

Video games? As just one example, Candy Crush is a vacuous waste of anyone's time and money, with plenty of tales of addiction.

Books? People used to think novels were addictive and bad news: https://archive.is/WDDCH
