   This is great, I found it much more interesting to view this tree vs. the timeline alone.

   Claude is so much better for proofing, IMO. Over the last few years I’ve rotated between OpenAI and Anthropic models on about a 4-5 month cycle. I just started my Anthropic cycle because of my annoyance with the GPT-5.2 verbosity In four mo

   I guess it really depends on what Reddit experience you’re referring to as being no better. Most Reddit user experiences are probably nothing like HN at all. Give r/all a whirl if you think they’re comparable.

   I think the title of this post should be changed to match the “Lifetime cognitive enrichment” from the original publication.

   I’d love to play organ with a choir group. But I am not religious, so it feels wrong.

   The pictures show what looks like very powdery snow. How does this fare with wet and icy snow?

   What were the main attributes that led to varying states of whelmed? One reason I love text discourse is that it gives me time to thoughtfully respond. My wife is super witty and can be instantly funny and social when she wants. It takes me

    And what/if any arising issues are you currently tracking? I’m also curious about your 12/2019 info sources. We had a postdoc in our lab in ~late 01/2020 that was obsessively watching the Johns Hopkins COVID tracker, so that’

    We have evidence that non Homo sapiens bipeds (e.g., Neanderthals, Homo habilis) used tools far before we came onto the scene. A long lineage of hominin species came before humans!

    I realize I mistyped, I shouldn’t have said “turn my head to” I mean “ignore” but was being verbose.

    I’m curious if there is a diagnosis criteria for SDAM. It likely exists on a spectrum (just like mental imagery). I have aphantasia and struggle quite strongly with autobiographical memory, but if someone reminds me of an event or I look

    Well I am pretty much you but maybe several years junior. I went to a state school, was obsessively focused only on my field of study, and scoffed at the idea of exploring anything else (save for some Jung and Nietzsche). But as I’m “aging”

    How are these differebt in your mind? The history is the history. Or do you mean - each agent has a chance to think after every turn?

    Sounds like an incredible period. Do you miss it at all? I’ve had phases of my life where I was lucky to have periods of absolute and undisturbed focus (grad school, summers during college, etc.). It’s easy to forget how valuable that type

    I have no clue how you’re running your agents or what you’re building, but giving the raw password string to a the model seems dubious? Otherwise, why not just keep the password in an .env file, and state “grab the password from the .env fi

    Do you think you’ll have any regrets about the nano texture display? I was torn between nano and regular glass, but opted for the regular glass.

    Can you go into a bit more detail on your perspective of the 70s/80s approach vs. today? I’m an analyst with a passion for engineering, but am not an engineer by trade. So honestly I am naive to how now would be different from the past

    I think the parent comment is simply referring to “@“-ing files in the chat. So if you want CC to edit “file.R”, the prompt might look like: “Fix the the function tagged with ‘TODO-bug’ in @file.R” That file is then prioritized for the agen
