Yeah, I can’t count the number of times I’ve thought about a change, explained it in natural language, pressed enter, then realized I’ve already arrived at the exact change I need to apply just by thinking it through. Oftentimes I even beat

Similarly, convenience (reducing resistance) is the biggest factor in sticking to positive habits. Here’s an article on applying this to strength training: https://matt.might.net/articles/hacking-strength/

I’ve seen it at a few places in the US, typically somewhere they have a paid unlimited/fast plan but a free tier for a limited time to be able to say they offer “free wifi”. So places it costs money to offer wifi. Maybe a flight, cruis

Absolutely! There’s existing solutions for this, if you hunt around, but if you wanted to customize it, it would be pretty easy.

Not true. Maybe the only plausible reason Iran has to make them, but that's a different claim.

True. I doubt that the US would have this strong of a reaction to a different non-compliant country we were allied with, though. (Can you imagine the US bunker-bombing Germany, SK, AUS, etc?)

True. Weapons grade in approximately 2 months was one estimate given by the Institute for Science and International Security.

60% is not weapons grade.

By "others", you presumably mean credible threats from enemy states (since we allow Israel to secretly harbor nuclear weaponry with no problem). But no, I don't think that. I think it's nuanced, and I think that it'

Flies in the face of the US intelligence community’s report at the end of March [0], but, I am not floored if true. Do you have any sources? Edit: If you mean "Verification and monitoring in the Islamic Republic of Iran in light of Uni

Your question necessitates the idea that the US is some sort of worldwide nanny state, where anything that happens without an action, the US “let” happen. It’s an innocent question but the assumptions are far more drastic. Reflect on some o

Let’s hope whatever intel that says Iran really does have nukes is true, given its propensity as a scapegoat for previous wars. Don’t forget that less than 2 months ago, senior intelligence officials said conclusively Iran was not close to

It just resets the MAC address, making the router believe it's a new device, thus not subject to the "x minute" free WiFi.

True, but that’s a website, of which the set of them come with bespoke features. I’d assume someone who adopted the API knows it’s easier to switch because it’s an open standard.

Once you get to a certain complexity of notebooks, I find it only serves to complicate my mental model to “experiment” out of order. It makes me far more likely to forget to “commit” an ordering change.

Also true! But that world is one where the vast majority of time is spent cleaning up slop code, so if there's a general shift towards that, I think that still changes the job in a significant way. (I don't have extensive history

I still don’t think there’s any real stickiness to using a Google model over any other model, with things like openrouter. So maybe for brand recognition alone.
