This, and also brain fog – which unless it is truly debilitating is hard to prove, hard to treat, and can feel pointless to talk about after a while. You won't necessarily hear people talk about "having Long Covid" unless the

I agree with this sentiment 100%. Probably the speculative FOSS project I'm most excited to think about is an open alternative to YouTube – a universal video hosting platform or network, free from commercial incentives baked into the p

This is frankly morbid, but there was a good younger writer, Kaleb Horton, who I feel channeled the spirit of HST effectively, without the sense of direct mimicry. He died a few days ago, at a far-too-young age, but his work was excellent:

It does make sense with a wider context. In short, he was miserable, and he always planned to go out on his own terms when he felt he'd reached the end of the path (I imagine influenced by seeing his father die painfully through diseas

Ah yep, I hadn't considered these codes appear for all files, not just frontmatter-friendly formats, which my vaults mostly are… Watermarks for media files? EXIF? — I joke. It's an interesting problem to think on and also reminds

Agreed, this would be a nice setting to "burn in" the codes to frontmatter on e.g first save. And with this enabled the plugin could also check for and avoid duplicates by modifying the code until its unique). One other possibilit

“If it were impossible to download YouTube videos, many organizations would abandon hosting their videos on YouTube for a platform that offered more user flexibility.” Seems like a bit of a presumptuous proposition. If it were impossible, t

If in the other hospitals they were able to rely on the expertise of others, but in that single hospital they could not hide their lack of deep knowledge and that led to deaths? I think the answer of that analogy is obvious—though I realise

it really doesnt work like that in Spain. The associations say the US has with what a suburd is, and of suburban life, does not translate to Spanish city planning. A better word for "suburb" in Spain would be "outskirts"

Because it hasn’t resulted in a stable situation or a historical event that stops being relevant to the current moment. No harmony has formed since. It is still essentially an ongoing invasion and erasure and oppression of Tibetan culture a

Clean drinking water is actually de facto a finite resource. It does recycle through nature, but large reservoirs and water tables are slow to recharge, often taking millennia to form, so there’s a lossiness in that sense — our usage and lo

I like that term much better, confabulation. I’ve come to think of it as it relies on an inherent trust in the fact that whatever process it uses to produce a coherent response (which I don’t think the LLM can really analyze after the fact)

Yes! I agree completely. They’ve not even turned on the money faucets yet. These prices are likely just to hook users on the product, and will be more comparable to paying something that compares, but favourably, to minimum wage per hour in

What’s amazing to me is this design looks a hella lot like tree branch formations to me. Makes me wonder if trees have some form of antenna-like functionality we are unaware of.

I see what you mean as in no tolerance for abusive people that can currently get away with overtly treating people like shit, but I do immediately think “that generally captures the more trivial abusers.” The most destructive ones tend to b

The author is describing the socially (and physically) destructive percentage of the population who just want to grab power through manipulation and control and the way they express this through social media, I believe (dark triad personali

Yes! It needs and seems to want the human to be a deep collaborator. If you take that approach, it is actually a second senior developer you can work with. You need to push it, and explain the complexities in detail to get fuller rewards. A

I suspect the US definition of sandwich is different to the European one, but genuinely not sure. Curious — can someone give me a few examples describing the $10 sandwiches you get in the US? Are we talking warm, ordered off a menu, good qu

Yeah, that’s what I find. In fact I’m only on this article catching up with my RSS. I skim through, I arrange feeds in folders alphabetically sorted by both priority and subject. I constantly remove feeds I find too noisy, and I sort chrono

Just throwing this out there. Is it possible that in some way, it does have a MacBook Pro M2? For example, that the tools the ChatGPT UI have are exposed to it through access to one, which is can run whatever tools it wants through? That mi

I agree that, obviously, large scale asteroid impacts and other major cataclysms have exponentially bigger immediate destructive outcomes. Ridiculously so. That doesn't mean the atmosphere itself, and the weather systems governing them

Yeah, this is an interesting point! It would be very hard to quantify, but it feels fair to say there is a significant level of what might be called “covert violence” in modern society that would increase the numbers if it could be accurate

I don’t think the author means to make a mental health diagnosis. He brings up the question at one point about whether a “bully” nature is a mental health issue or an evolutionary adaption. The concept pointed to feels clear to me — a low p

I honestly can’t understand how you think this might not be satire. Musk has been lying low, out of the public eye, avoiding controversy? Barely tweeting?

Well this shows its power when it reaches viewers who it clicks with! Good on you going to the IMAX (I'm no morality police about downloading movies, but the big screen is where it's at to get an experience). For me this movie has

Thank you. I think that is right, something people don't want to see — though it's more the idea of something they don't want to see. It's a shame they don't want to see, since it's a deeply optimistic movie.

Great to hear from other viewers who loved it. I don't often rewatch in the cinema either, though oddly enough I have rewatched 3 movies in the cinema this year (a first), 2024 has been impressive. Here in Spain they are continuing to

I agree very much that it's made to be rewatched. I found it highly unusual in that I'm a film student and have rewatched so many films and continue to rewatch a ton of favourites endlessly, but I can't remember another movie
