Alert: if you were happy to learn about aphantasia, you might also be happy to learn about SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory), which I think is correlated with aphantasia. SDAM is when you know facts about your life, but ca

When I was a kid, I was asked “how do you read so fast?” often and I would always proudly report than I can scan paragraphs and filter out the useless ones without reading them. For example, I was reading some Pratchett and noticed that I h

Not the op, but I also use it through API (specifically MacGPT). My initial justification was that I would save by only paying for what I use, instead of a flat $20/mo, but now it looks like I’m not even saving much.

I'm reading What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders . It says it's not a self-help book, but in practice it's the first book ever that helped me with my lifelong anxiety.

My understanding is that it doesn’t require termination (“is Turing complete”), unlike Dhall.

See my examples with html un-escaping and mergesort, down the comment chain. Limited recursion/iteration is ok if all you need is to fill existing values into a template and possibly reduce repetition. But in a large system with many c

There are three (maybe more?) ways things can be Turing-incomplete: 1. You are limited to N evaluation/reduction steps. 2. The language doesn't include primitives like recursion or loops. 3. You can have recursion or loops, but th

Yes! This would be a super interesting post. Do you have a blog/twitter/bluesky (hah)/anything that I could use to get notified if you write anything on this topic?

The most common usecase is probably “I have `rm` in the scripts section of package.json, and it doesn’t work on windows.”

It’s been irking me as well, so I looked up “the orange site” in HN search and apparently it’s a euphemism some people who dislike HN use on Twitter. I’d love to know who started using it first, though.

I wonder.. has anybody tried training Stable Diffusion on GUIs? I'd love to play with it and perhaps see how GTK1 would look like with better font rendering, border-radius, a modern color palette, etc.

I used to work at Wire. As far as I know there was no shady buyout, just new investors who were less lax about wanting Wire to actually make money. So they started reorienting at big corporate clients. The technology itself wasn't chan
