Thank you, just what I was imagining! I would prefer a bigger wireless box as well.

Yes, agreed. Beautiful keyboard, but when I heard "magic" I hoped to find a touch ID. That sensor so useful that even though I use a mechanical keyboard, I keep an apple magic keyb…

It's a known issue now! I have have all notifications silenced, so I haven't seen this behavior. Will reproduce and try look into a fix, thanks

Yes, I had a related experience of reading a book and observing what I thought were claude-isms, only to realize it was written in 2019. Some of the common tells are actually good …

Indeed, if only Apple still made an 11-inch macbook air...

I agree this should be built-in. Many apps have their own "focus mode", but I wanted something that works uniformly across all apps. There is a full-screen mode in macOS, but it st…

Would be great, and it's technically possible to spotlight multiple windows in this setup. But I wonder about the mechanics of picking the right apps. One way is to use named sets,…

Author here, I made this macOS tool "Zen Mode" to provide a global focus mode that works across apps. There are plenty of things approaching this (HazeOver, Stage Manager, built-in…

Yes, and one of my favorite anecdotes like this: at one of the greatest jazz concert ever recorded, Charlie Parker played a cheap plastic saxophone because he hadn't brought his ow…

While not a cure, there are many known modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer’s, so to some extent we know enough to deflect / mitigate dementia: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/…

This is great and echoes my experience. Although I would add a caveat that this mostly applies to solo work. Once you need to collaborate or operate on a team, many of limits of se…

I believe slash commands are all loaded into the initial context and executed when invoked by the user. Skills on the other hand only load the name and description into initial con…

Thank you for publishing that paper, which I think greatly helped address this problem at the time, which you accurately describe. I guess things have to be taken in their historic…

This study was really highlighting a statistical issue which would occur with any imaging technique with noise (which is unavoidable). If you measure enough things, you'll inevitab…

In a practical sense, I would argue the scientific is primarily about churning out grants and papers.

To a large extent, I think this could be solved by labs having more long-term permanent research staff (technicians, data analysts, scientists) and reducing the number of PhD stude…

Thanks for your work great work on Claude Code! One other feature with CLAUDE.md I’ve found useful is imports: prepending @ to a file name will force it to be imported into context…

When asking customers how well they were helped by the customer support system (via CSAT score), I've found industry-standard AI support agents will generally perform worse than a …

Taking a shot at this, one concrete definition might be that the business model is essentially white labeling, that is, the base LLM is rebranded, but task performance in the probl…

Yes, this feature might be a prime driver of user engagement and retention, and it could even emerge "naturally" if those criteria are included for optimization in RLHF. In the sam…

Budgets are finite, and most science funding involves some decision making about how to allocate resources.
