I feel like ~300pgs in is where infinite jest reaches critical mass. before that, it felt like a slog.

after i had enough context to start making connections, I couldn’t put it down

not only does this miss the point of why the neo is special, id be curious to see how unusable windows running on 8gb of ram is.

dell’s xps hardware quality can also be dubious, multiple people I know (including myself) have had issues in years past with high end XPS machines. If they’re trying to meet a low price point and can’t cut costs on the enclosure it’ll be interesting to see how the reliability of the internals fares

In the past I found that I had poor spacial awareness - a few months ago I started using navigation apps solely in the “north up” orientation. this is much less intuitive when navigating, but forces me to think spatially about where i am and I’ve found has helped me retain much more spatial context about my environment.

I’m much more able to navigate without the map than I was before I started this experiment - and it’s had the added benefit of giving me the ability to know what part of the 101 I’m on solely by the angle and shape of the nearest exit.

I hope eventually AI gets to a point where I can split the difference between ambiguous and incidental friction like this, although tbh I’m not really sure what that would look like.

dudes rock

vaultwarden is great, but password managers are security critical software that need consistent maintenance and constant updates.

if bitwarden is acquired and the new owner decides an open source version of their product is not a business necessity, without someone actively supporting the salaries of engineers it’s unlikely to continue to be secure for much longer.

> Participants in the occasional and daily groups used their own cannabis at the doses they typically consume.

> “We didn’t tell people what to use because there’s a really big continuum of how people use and how they respond to that dosage,” Brooks-Russell said, explaining that they wanted these studies to reflect how people use cannabis outside of the lab.

Actually a really smart process decision - in past studies I’ve seen they always used a prescribed dose but having the participants choose makes a lot of sense

nice work! the interactive visuals are really cool

Evilcore is a fitting name.

> Connecticut’s Insurance Department recently reviewed EviCore and Carelon. It found no problems with Carelon. EviCore was fined $16,000 this year for more than 77 violations found in a review of 196 files.

$16k is such a low fine that it’d be funny if it wasn’t so sad. fines should be increased to actually represent a threat to the company - maybe as a % of yearly profit?

our system is so fucked dude

tbh these last few months of anthropic’s behavior is the most aggressively I’ve seen a company burn so much customer goodwill so quickly

Look into openepaperlink. It’s an open source project that integrates with home assistant, and lets you control multiple tags over WiFi with just one device. you can create custom display setups in yaml to show anything you want.

my favorite that I have set up is a tag in my bathroom that shows me today’s weather and chance of rain when im brushing my teeth - I haven’t been caught by surprise in the rain since :)

if you read the thinking context while in plan mode (I had it shown to me, i think mistakenly, by switching modes while Claude was thinking a week or so ago) plan mode is just a pre-prompt saying “you are now in plan mode, don’t propose edits, read the code and understand how it works.”

it’s not an actual limitation on the harness.
