I think the original quote points to something else - success in many walks of life is due to things outside of our control

The focus of the study was the different harness approaches and how they scale across model sizes. The fact that they used any particular set of models is irrelevant.

Would have been much better if it simply rendered a blank page.

I think they meant more along the lines of "This narrow problem today is not worth worrying about, because soon it will be a larger and bigger problem. "

As a performer, sure.

But Dolly was 1000x the songwriter that Johnny Cash was.

I see the opposite pattern here (Pittsburgh, PA). The homes with trampolines that I have seen end up being a magnet for the neighborhood kids and become a social scene of sorts.

When our children were younger, every day they'd end up playing on the trampoline with some different subset of the dozen or so other neighborhood children (who didn't own a trampoline). There was tons of laughter, some tears and conflict - and overall an amazing way for these children to spend time together as they grew up.

Our kids have aged out of the trampoline now. But I was just driving through our neighborhood yesterday and I saw two other homes with trampolines, both filled with five or six kids, rolling around, playing, bouncing - exactly how the OP described and exactly what we saw in our own backyard.

10-100x faster? Maybe for strictly IO bound applications - but if you are building a web app you won't see that performance as network latency dominates.

I don't understand the point of writing and sharing this.

Don't want to use a service anymore? Fine, stop using it and move to something else. But why publish something that you knows for sure is just going to be bad press for another company and organization?

Take me with you, please.

Both of these can be true.

And I'm sorry to nitpick - but "People who rely on AI are the ones who will be left behind" is NOT the opposite of "People who don't use AI will be left behind".

I had used Anki for a few years but recently migrated all my cards out of it and into a custom app I built just a few months ago. It is as an Elixir/Phoenix app with a simple UI but also with a rich API for Agent integration.

I have it installed on an extra macbook pro that I had available. I'm really only using it at the moment for one use case:

Nightly, I have OpenClaw pull the latest changes from a private GitHub repo that is my Obsidian notes vault. It then looks to see which new notes have been added and then runs a "create flashcard" skill to extract and author useful flashcards for spaced-repetition practice. I then gave it access to a custom web-based spaced-repetition flash card application that I built a few months ago. It uses an API to insert new cards, check to see when I last reviewed cards and optionally send me a nudge reminder if I haven't reviewed cards in a few days.

It is a nice workflow that has been working well. I go to class, take notes in Obsidian and check in my changes. By the next day, when I open my flashcard app on my phone, I have new cards to review from yesterday's class.

Also blocks magnets.

This might just be the single most worthless, non-sensical post that I've read in my twelve years of using HN.

Congratulations.

Besides the setting of the sewers, the timer is really the ONLY aspect of the original game that I remember!
