I would probably show up in their metrics as an active user and one of the 95% but I barely use the product. I have a Pro subscription which I use for personal projects but I do very little, maybe using it once a week for a short session. At work I use Cursor via a corporate account.

I imagine there are lots of people like me who have a subscription to be aware of the product and do some very light work, but the "real" users who rely on the tool might be badly affected by this.

Even after completing the tasks with AI, the developers believed that they had decreased task times by 20%. But the study found that using AI did the opposite: it increased task completion time by 19%.

This in particular is very interesting to me. I haven't read the study yet but this makes me consider my own use of AI - I often feel like it is speeding me up, but is it really? Can I measure it in a better way?

It should do, it can run on original hardware (e.g. via an Everdrive). I play on a MiSTer FPGA [0] and it's great.

I don't think I agree. From TFA:

[...] Why walk into a store in Soho and see what’s on offer when you can stay home and scroll the entire inventory from the comfort of your couch? Why go to the library to find books about a topic that interests you when you can look it up on Wikipedia in two minutes and move on with your day?

Instantaneous access to everything obviously comes at a cost. The cost being that we all behave like demented Roman emperors, at once bored and deranged, summoning whatever we want at any time.

Even without social media, we still would have the instant gratification that the author proposes as a problem.

I have been using Monodraw for a long time: https://monodraw.helftone.com/

It's a macOS app and I've found it great. However if given an ASCII diagram, you cannot edit it with the same ease as creating a new one (e.g. reflowing text or resizing boxes).

I really like the idea of having the mermaid source and the ASCII diagram together, so you could use the source to change the diagram if needed. But I feel that would feel cluttered to have both in a plain text file or comment, where ASCII diagrams shine.

[Elon Musk] also said he would ask any executive who retained more than three workers who “don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test” to resign.

Is this "excellent, necessary and trustworthy test" referring to some specific criteria at Tesla or is it judged at an executives discretion?

There is some more detail on the bridge itself in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tpv6n1ykfA

The bridge is assembled over 2 nights at a motorway exit (so traffic can bypass it by driving off and immediately back on to the road). During night 1 the two end ramps are assembled and attached together to make a short bridge. During night 2 the ramps are driven apart, the central section is built to reach the full length and the entire structure is driven to the final location.

The entire length is 236 meters long providing a working length of 100 meters underneath. The assembled bridge can flex slightly at the joins between sections, and has a turning radius of 2 kilometers.

levels.fyi started out using Google Sheets as a back end. Submissions were done via Google Form, inserting into the sheet.

Firefox reader is good, there's also scribe.rip which is like nitter for X.
