All you need is to mandate real-time API access for users... Unfortunately even the EU doesn't seem prepared to do that though.

Are you doing it to get money/success/fame? Stop. Data says no.

Are you doing it because you want to bring something new into the world? Acknowledge that and keep going as long as it's healthy for you overall.

CEL is much more computationally limited as it aims to keep evaluations in the microsecond range.

With OPA you can easily create policies that take tens, hundreds or even thousands of millisecond.

That comes at the expense of a lot of power though, so much of the complex logic that you can write in OPA simply isn't achievable in CEL.

Most tech startups create a monopoly by hiding real-time access to user data behind closed down apps which can force-include ads in your feeds.

A simple EU regulation that requires offering real-time distribution of user data to third parties would massively level the playing field.

Or you can just add some randomness to the prompt by adding “Your random seed is mciifjrbdifnf.”

I just tested that and got 4 left and 2 right so it works pretty well.

As they say... every exponential is a sigmoid in reality.

I’d guess that they have a rating system and prefer assigning request to helpers who reliably perform well… which might be why I didn’t get repeat requests after my initial fumbling.

Human assistants might also just be worse than AI assistants.

When I received my first (and only) BeMyEyes request I spent the first minute or so figuring out how to work the app and the video delay.

“Let me turn the volume up” “Oh wait it’s on my AirPods” “Could you move it more to the left?” “No your left.” “No; not that far”

I’m quite confident that I was a less than optimal assistant and an AI might’ve well done better than me.

I agree that it's a great book; but I wouldn't recommend it as an entry point into understanding purely functional data structures.

Okasaki fleshes out a couple of examples and explains his thought processes and heuristics for developing such data structures quite well; but they're very much still notes on the early-stage exploration of the concept.

From a historical perspective it's still a fascinating read though and definitely recommend it if you want to read up on the origins of immutable data structures.

As a long time RSI-sufferer that has tried everything I can confirm the KeyboardIO was also very nice... but nothing beats Kinesis Advantage. I think it's the domed arrangement as I did feel the thumb arrangement on the KeyboardIO was superior.

I agree that I'd like to see more LiFePO4 battery packs; but compared to an EV I'd much rather have this happen on an e-bike/monowheel I can just step off.

I once had I colleague that I had lots and lots of trouble engaging with. Over and over again I would try to get my point across but fail.

That was until I noticed that if I picked up the discussion again the next day he had internalized yesterday's conversation. From then on I worked perfectly fine with him building up shared understanding one point at a time.

I really wish for him, and me, that there was a word he could've used to describe his style of thinking. I'm sure it would save everyone many a frustration.

I once played with one of these where if you built the sand high enough the top would turn blue again and water would start flowing down from the top.

So... an overflow bug caused the mountain to overflow.

Still one of my favourite real-life bugs of all time.
