Some systems pulling the average up and some pulling down but the average of them is net up. I wonder though if it would have been better or worse for us if the net change ended up negative (dropping temps every year) instead. Probably wors

I see it as the most important home maintenance tool. Saves hundreds per year on little things that break. Like a wall patch, small o-ring for a toy, drawer slide mount, basement light mount, etc. I will say though that the learning curve i

I was a huge fan of the high-framerate Hobbit films. It made the huge battles much easier to follow and I felt like I picked up a lot more of the details. Such a shame it never had a retail release.

The Steam Machine (Steam Deck predecessor) had leaks/announcements in 2013 and shipped in 2015 so that lines up.

It doesn’t look like GOG can afford to pay for that work. I think we all got very lucky that the success of the Steam Deck has put the incentives in the right place for Steam to be able to invest in Linux.

Social Media fills the same role that Alcohol used to. As far as debilitating addictions go, it does seem to be a small improvement though. Driving afterwards isn’t a problem, for example.

I slowed myself down to savour this comment for a full 20s. Enough time to linger on each word for a long moment. Just like parent was asking for. I pictured it spoken with a heavy Californian surfer accent. He wanted elaborate but a huge w

The usage limits on Claude have been making it too hard to experiment with. Lately, I get about an hour a day before hitting session/weekly limits. With Codex, the limits are higher than my own usage so I never see them. Because of tha

It’s impossible to know if the content itself is worth the extra time and effort. Opportunity Cost is especially high in fiction. I agree that LotR should be on that list though.

I think there’s a chance the people funding this make the returns they hope for but it’ll be a new business model that gets them there, not producing better results. The quality of results have been roughly stable for too long to expect mea

I see the sarcasm and agree with but just in case anyone sees this, we were getting exponentially better back in the early days but very much hitting diminishing returns now. We’re probably not seeing any large improvements again now with t

The tools have been very stable for the past year or so. The biggest change I can think of is how much MCP servers have fallen off. I think they’re generally considered not worth the cost in context tokens now. The scope of changes needed t

The new tools have sets of problems they are very good at, sets they are very bad at and they are generally mediocre at everything else. Learning those lessons isn’t easy, takes time, and will produce bugs. If you aren’t making those mistak

This helped me understand what I was getting at so I’ll try explaining again now with that. The words are typically used in two different contexts, one more professional (utilize) and one more casual (use). The words can be chosen to hint a

I think they have slightly different meanings where “use” is more direct like a tool and “utilize” is more indirect like a system but that could be more about context than meaning. The words “usage” and “utilization” show this more where I

That the advice lines up with folk wisdom means they’re probably on the right track.

Physical fatigue is lack of ATP and happens through the day as oxidation builds up. Cognitive fatigue is a build-up of used neurotransmitters that also build up over the day. These two processes interact with each other though where neurotr

You should probably talk to ChatGPT about that. …or see a doctor, if that’s still a thing people do?

by pitched 10mo ago
Something important to keep in mind is that cognitive fatigue is a protective system meant to protect our cells from harm. Pushing through anyways would be unlikely to cause harm in a healthy system. Post-covid is an extremely stressed one

It is surprising how many books in these archives are romance novels. Just poking around randomly showed almost all (fiction!) is romance. If the reason for this Chinese dump has to do with LLM training sets, that puts the AI Sycophancy int

It is a cycle that feeds into the next, constantly strengthening itself. Whether that is positive feedback or negative feedback is really important. It is worth a large disruption to your life to get it working for you. The deadlock is very

If the error isn’t repairable by the user, blocking them from using the app entirely is mean. If the error screen has a message telling the user where to go to set their name, that’s fine but annoying. If the error screen tells the user the

I think this sense of “less is more” roughly means refactoring? I think the reason these go south so often is because we’re likely moving complexity around rather than removing it. Removing a layer from the stack means making a different la
