Wrote a small script to test how LLMs handle growing context sizes. It sends larger prompts step by step and measures slowdown or failure. Pretty rough but useful so far. Curious if others have ideas for improving it.

RIP. I loved the Computer Museum as a kid. It’s probably one of those thing that had a much bigger impact on me than I realize.

The Wired article explores the promising practice of carbon farming and its potential to revolutionize agriculture. Carbon farming involves adopting regenerative techniques that not only enhance soil health and biodiversity but also mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon in the soil. By implementing methods such as rotational grazing, cover cropping, and agroforestry, farmers can enhance soil carbon levels while improving crop yields and resilience to extreme weather events. The piece highlights successful carbon farming initiatives around the world and underscores the urgent need for widespread adoption to combat climate change and ensure food security in the face of environmental challenges.

I agree, but to be fair it was also the state that limited them such a silly option. They can't do anything more permanent than sand. Which, I understand has an environmental impact, but the beaches are going to keep eroding so why not "draw a line in the sand" so to speak and help protect the beaches more permanently. Regardless of how lives there now.

* I live in the state but no where near the water. So I'm sure my taxes will be paying for this.

Many apps lack a good means of triggering "reminders" on iOS and MacOs. Apple seems to keep the secret sauce to themselves. 3rd party apps just miss the mark IMO. However, the reminders app itself leave a lot to be desired. So something like this that ties a great app into what the native apps reminders is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

Is the cult as strong as it has been? I feel like this "cult" is absolutely what Apple leveraged to get where they are and they not doubt played into it. But it doesn't seem like that is really the case anymore. Or is it?
