I use the same analogy explaining to people what my meds do. They’re a catalyst in that they lower the activation energy of doing anything other than doomscrolling

Another happy aerospace here! IMO it does a great job with barely any configuration required (the default config works great, I have barely tweaked it over years of use), that said I’m not exactly power user of tiling WMs, I have one app per workspace 90% of the time

This reminded me of ViperGPT[1] from a couple of years ago, which is similar but specific to vision language models. Both of them have a root llm which given a query produces a python program to decompose the query into separate steps, with the generated python program calling a sub model. One difference is this model has a mutable environment in the notebook, but I'm not sure how much of a meaningful difference that is.

I only skimmed this but it has several things that make me suspicious. Mainly that they did not require a diagnosis for ADHD but instead separated participants based on a questionnaire regarding symptoms. Additionally their participant pool somehow contained more than 20% of neurodevelopmental disorders and other mental health disorders which seems very high.

I did read that part, I just feel that the idea that somehow something good comes from removing the feather (which is negligible expense relative to changing the name), is just plainly saying that we care about inclusivity but only so long as it’s not expensive. Which is more or less the policy of every large organization, but it’s rare that it gets said.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen such a short article so clearly demonstrate how much don’t actually care about the people who they are to trying to placate. They’re changing the feather because it’s apparently offensive to reference it, but they’re not changing the name because it would cost money. Even though the name is way more tightly tied to the people than the feather. I don’t actually care about the logo or the name I just find having the dichotomy so clearly spelled out interesting.

Name a language and I'll tell you a much worse issue.

Not sure if the offer was only open to OP but I'll bite. How about Java?

Something I've always wanted from my shell history is to be able to record relative filepaths as their absolute equivalent in the history, is that supported in atuin?. If you do a lot of data munging on the CLI, you end up with a lot of commands like `jq 'complicated_selector' data.json`, which if I want to remember the selector is good, but if I want to remember which data I ran it on is not so good. I could do it with better filenames but that would involve thinking ahead. I also run into this a lot trying to remember exactly which local file has been uploaded to s3 by looking at shell history.

This explains why "What if I move out early?" for the sample document doesn't mention any of the information in the lease break section, which is definitely the most important section for moving out early. Whatever space they're projecting the question into doesn't capture that "lease break" and "moving out early" are synonyms.

Something about how this article was animated out hurt my brain to look at. It had a lot on page telling me about how much there was too much information on the screen of the phone which was nested inside the page. And then every arrow press would move around the dialog boxes (some of which jiggled to fight for my attention extra hard) and update the little avatar. The content was interesting but it felt kind of ironic that a product psychology website was this mentally taxing to use.

Until someone makes the AI write the test too, I don't think there's going to be any red-tape style solutions to this problem that isn't just "no AI written code allowed".

I do agree that I see that comment a lot on here. However that seems to be a pretty uncharitable reading of the parent comment, as it seems they were more expressing surprise that burning the explosive is a legitimate means of defusing a bomb.

From the doc linked "Partitioning is done manually.", which seems like a pretty big limitation to me? For static data sure, but for non static data it seems like it would be an operational headache to manage manual partitions, compared to elasticsearch which partitions for you (although IIRC shard count is fixed)

This sounds very similar to the game that was described in Ender's Game, with the giant and the two shot glasses. That's always been one of my wishlist games, excited to think that it is starting to become a possibility.

A couple of ones it got wrong

"What is Hagrid's coat made out of?" - "Beaver fur"

"What does Harry Potter's seventeenth birthday cake resemble?" -- "Harry Potter's seventeenth birthday cake was designed to look like a red and gold Gryffindor scarf. "

"did Harry give Ron liquid luck before their quidditch match?" -- "Yes, Harry gave Ron Felix Felicis, or liquid luck, before their quidditch match."

The last one is interesting because it seems to get most of the "plot" questions correct, but failed that one.
