Yes, feeling this 100%

In true drinking the kool-aid style, I've attempted to solve this problem with an LLM!

I have a skill which aggregates what I've been working on over the last day (from slack, calendar, mail etc. MCP) and writes a notion journal entry for me. It runs in the evening when I've finished and is ready the next morning when I start. It helps with the context switching - reminding me of deadlines or what I was in the middle of before I left.

Yes, I guess its a balance - the inconvenience of sorting through odd-shaped defunct USB standards vs actually needing one of those weird cables for an ancient camera in 10 years time.

I naturally have the ~< £ from AZ mindset, but I try to challenge that by re-using avoiding waste. It doesn't always work (and there's a lot of eventual waste in those hundreds of zip-lock bags).

Hot tip - buy a box of small / medium zip lock bags and bag them all up. Duplicates in the same bag are ok (10cm / USB-C) etc.

For the last 10 years my "techno box" has been a box of bags - the cables don't get tangled and small bits (adaptors / notes) get to live with the cables. Its one of the rare few home environment hacks I actually have!

> weight update during eval: this is a form of test time training and not really cheating.

Possibly "not really cheating", but it does make benchmark comparisons unfair - especially as the other models are unlikely to have their weights updated during the eval.

`from plotnine import *`

... I love the idea of a new python plotting library, but why is this anti-pattern so common with plotting libs?

> Trump administration says restrictions could impose ‘disproportionate’ burden on US tech companies

Placing the onus firmly on US tech companies and not the well-being of children.

The tech firms (like cigarette manufacturers) have long known about the harms of social media on the young, and what steps or measures have they taken to reduce or limit damage (...crickets).

Oppose a "blunt regulatory instrument" if you like, but if you don't implement safety measures that's what you're going to get.
