Agree with your sentiment, I think synthetologist (σύνθετος/synthetos + λογία/logia) flows better.

The plural of anthropos is anthropoi, not anthropodes.

Fair warning: I’m quite ignorant in terms of economics, so this is a naïve way of looking at it.

The question that always pops up for me when it comes to UBI applied to the current capitalist system: even if you did actually come up with the money somehow (which is a pretty huge if as you say), once everyone has X “base money” per month, doesn’t that mean the cost of living (specifically renting) will rise to match this new “base”?

The point is "everyone is there at the stated boarding time" never actually happens IRL, so you give an earlier time.

My guess is that's because boarding a plane is a little bit like being an extra for a film, it's a hurry up and wait situation. If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time. Better for the airline to print an earlier time and have people wait longer, so they can board as quickly as possible. Every minute behind schedule costs the airline money.

Very cool to see movement in this space, and congrats on launching! Agree that it looks polished, I also like that you chose to show screenshots from settings on the LP.

I use yabai and I've been wanting something similar to what you built. Instead of one desktop per workspace, I'd like to be able to have "sets of desktops" per workspace as it were, because not all work I do that involves multiple apps needs them on the same screen at all times (or even ever).

As an example: I might have IDE + browser on one desktop, Fork.app and local server on another, and Music.app on a third (as I like to listen to music while I work). So to me, those are all related, but don't make sense on one desktop.

The other consideration is that I also tend to use tiling more on bigger displays. Since I sometimes do work with just the builtin display, I have to reorganize windows and desktops every time I switch, which is a bit of a PITA. With a solution like yours, but for sets of desktops, I could just switch to a different set and be done in seconds.

Is something similar possible using HopTab?

How much difference are you seeing between standard and Q4 versions in terms of degradation, and is it constant across tasks or more noticeable in some vs others?

I think it's a cool idea and I personally find using LLMs as a teaching tool to still be the most rewarding way of interacting with them, if done right.

Your obvious first port of call IMO is correctness of material, where there's room for improvement [1]. I deliberately picked Gleam because it's still a less known language.

For what it's worth, prompting Opus 4.6 in chat got me this result [2]. Sonnet 4.6 via the Workbench also got it right.

Agree with other comments about UX and design, and maybe also some of those around improving teaching style or gamification aspects, but the above is more important.

Good luck with this, hope you crack it! :)

Yeah I’ve wondered about the same myself… My evals are also a pile of text snippets, as are some of my workflows. Thought I’d have a look to see what’s out there and found Promptfoo and Inspect AI. Haven’t tried either but will for my next round of evals

Great idea, great execution on your landing page (the onboarding experience is really well done) and great job on answering questions in this thread. Also, +1 on building a Firefox version.

Since I also have to use Chrome for an extension I'm developing, I pinned Tweeks and will likely reach for it every so often to actually test how well it does, but the demos definitely impressed me.

Out of curiosity, how much, if any, of this did you vibe code?

Hey, thank you for making this—I really enjoyed playing it and it feels like it fits the mental-reward-between-work-tasks need. It did spin up my M1's fans after a few minutes which is a rather rare occurrence, but I'm guessing that's par for the course when you're working with a bunch of video on canvas. Either way, hope I remember it the next time I'm looking for a puzzle to solve while I take a break :)
