But discoverability can be done right in emacs. I think one of the better examples is magit (from which transient comes from).

Provided you're actively and systematically looking for evidence, then absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

The example academic paper has puts the definition of variables into a tooltip when you click on them. That's a nice feature for academic papers.

I use this method and I want to highlight another advantage, besides shortening a huge list into a small, manageable amount. It allows you to pick the tasks for the day based on the current context. How much time do I have in the day (e.g., do I have a lot of meetings scheduled or not), what are the most important/urgent tasks at the moment, what is my energy level, and so on.

Love your photos!

You could implement the hashing code in a helper class and construct the HashMap with it.

Verifying a solution is easier than coming up with it.

Took it up to 1 million feet, it took another 1.5 million feet to bleed off 4000mph upward acceleration, then turned the pointy end downwards and accelerated.

Interesting. I don't think that you can control the randomness (temperature) via the web interface, which makes this experiment less controlled than in the paper.

Anyway, I noticed that my initial prompt did not specify if Billy sees the box open or closed. Let's fix that.

Me: Does your answer change if Billy sees the closed box first?

ChatGPT: No, my answer would not change if Billy sees the closed box first. The information provided only mentions that the box is labeled "flubbergums" and that someone showed the contents to the original questioner, which were identified as "jellyfils". Whether Billy sees the closed box first or not does not provide any additional information that would change my previous answer.

Me: Does your answer changed if Billy sees the open box first?

ChatGPT: No, my answer would not change if Billy sees the open box first. The information provided only mentions that the box is labeled "flubbergums" and that someone showed the contents to the original questioner, which were identified as "jellyfils". Seeing the open box first would allow Billy to confirm the contents as "jellyfils", but it would not change the previous answer that the box labeled "flubbergums" likely contains "jellyfils".

So, not only did it fail this particular theory of mind test, it also did not realize that seeing the box open provides more information than seeing it closed.

(Of course, this is not surprising at all, because it it's just predicting the most likely blank word in a sentence, and has no internal understanding of concepts like open or closed or that other people like Billy exist.)

Me: There is a box on the table labelled "flubbergums". Somebody opens it and shows you the content. Inside the box are "jellyfils". They close the box again so you cannot see their contents. What do you think is in the box?

ChatGPT: Based on the information provided, it is likely that the box labeled "flubbergums" contains "jellyfils". However, since the contents of the box are no longer visible, I cannot confirm for certain what is inside without additional information.

Typical ChatGPT equivocation.

Me: Billy comes to the table. He has never seen the box before. What do you think do they think is inside the box?

ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I do not have personal thoughts or opinions. However, based on the information provided, if Billy has never seen the box before, it's likely that he would have the same understanding as anyone else who is seeing the box for the first time. In this case, Billy would likely think that the box labeled "flubbergums" contains "jellyfils". However, without further information or examination, this would only be an assumption.

Fail.

The source [1] is misleading to the point of being wrong. It is perfectly valid German to say "Ich bin ein Student" meaning that one is indeed a student. "Ich bin Clown" is not grammatical at all.

No, it's bullshit. Notice that the answer is not internally consistent. It first says that it does not have current data on that, which implies that it might have old data and that it would in principle be possible to generate that data. It then states that it is not possible to answer this question. Those two parts of the answer are not consistent with each other.

So much this.

I only recently started working in a big team again and when I'm doing Github code reviews I often find myself checking out the branch locally and reading the file in my IDE and then going back to the Github interface to write my review comments.

Not only is this often the only way to understand the context of a change but it also makes it much easier to spot refactoring opportunities. But it's cumbersome and slow.

I ran into the same problem.

What I found most irritating was that even reformatting the drive (in any file system and on different machines), would not make the drive work again. After plugging it into my Mac the FS would corrupt again.

You're quoting from a section of the text where they are explicit in their responsibility to disprove that they use distancing language in a different section of the text.

Even something as simple as only showing you tweets from people you follow (what a concept!) would revolutionize the experience and drastically reduce the need for moderation.

You can do that right now by turning off retweets for the people you follow. You have to do that individually for every user you follow but it allows for a highly curated timeline. I turn of retweets for about 80% of the people I follow because I am interested in their original content but not in their random retweets. The other 20% introduce me to new content through their retweets.

It's worth noting that there was an apparent real opportunity to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict in April 2022, via diplomatic negotiations, but UK's Boris Johnson reportedly disrupted those talks by threatening to withdraw UK/US support for Zelensky if he proceeded with negotiations.

Do you have a source for this claim? I heard this argument before from an acquaintance and it completely contradicts my reading of the situation in April.

Including, apparently, the people who created the web site, and who use bold text and different font sizes to format the headlines, colors to indicate features which are supported and not supported, and an image of a "plaintext certified" stamp.

No, they are arguing against extreme positions.

With public ledgers like Bitcoin, everybody can reconstruct your financial history if they know your wallet address.

With privacy-focused blockchains, nobody can do that.

However, with a bank, your financial history is not publicly available but the bank still can perform checks to guard against money laundering.

There is an ICE (high speed train) between Berlin and Hamburg every hour.

Doesn't work on my external hard disks which are connected over USB 3.0. Both diskutil and smartctl report that SMART is not supported. Under Linux, these work just fine.

Yes, IntelliJ is easy to fix, just the default is broken.

Word, not so much.

They can't navigate a paragraph or a line using home/end buttons.

One of my biggest irritations in Word is that Ctrl-A/E don't go to the beginning/end of line. These key combinations (originally from Emacs) work on almost all input boxes on macOS. (IntelliJ is also an offender in this regard. Basically, any program that implements their own text boxes.)

I guess that my setup is extremely tailored to my needs but it requires very little setup so here it goes.

I use Emacs Org-Mode for my todo lists and the default macOS Mail.app for email. On a Mac, Org-Mode has a tool that grabs the currently selected email and inserts a link to the message id into the Org buffer. Clicking on that link opens the message in Mail.app.

I try to clean out my email inbox every evening. I track emails that need additional work in Org-Mode and immediately move them to the email archive after I created the link.

I've been tracking my daily activities in detail for 5 years now and I greatly appreciate the insights it provides into my own behavior and health. I love reading these kinds of articles to see that I'm not alone in this particular obsession and also for tips on how other people do it.

For my system I have repurposed Org Mode's clocking feature and run a dedicated Emacs instance in a terminal window. I then have a bunch of R scripts for visualizations: https://github.com/he-sk/timelog

The main disadvantage is that I need to enter activities manually when I have been away from the computer. I just save notes in my smartphone but it's a bit annoying.

The difference is that a US merchant must accept US dollar for your purchase but must not, and in fact does not, accept cryptocurrency.

The homepage looks really interesting. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I happy with command line interface. That's just my workflow.

What's a good Lisp dialect to write small programs in? I have some Emacs Lisp experience but I wouldn't use it to automate small tasks. For that, I typically use Python.

Thanks!
