I'm a certified dark mode hater, so in that light, that's a no-go for me: there seems to be no way to change the theme.

You mean like Commit Mono does? https://commitmono.com/

I wonder if OpenAI knew and deliberately price dropped to front-run the news cycle in their favor.

Except quite oddly, virtually no one has collected precise keystroke information or if they have it certainly is not public. I genuinely wonder if such a dataset exists

Given that their chart cost axes are almost always log-scale, I’ve noticed starting with Fable that the Low and Medium effort settings might actually be worth setting as your defau…

I find myself in major disagreement here. The nice thing about humans is we always have context and ongoing internal conversations including about ethics. If you recruit a bunch of…

You might enjoy “Motel of the Mysteries” then, a large format illustrated paperback that I grew up with, which showed some hilarious conclusions about 1980s ‘culture’ by some futur…

Interestingly, there was an artist a few years back who (for an unrelated project) had almost 400 people across a range of ages draw a bicycle and 75% of those faced left! So this …

Similar here. I saw an email wanting the 20 bucks to continue and I outright laughed. There’s no planet on which that plan offers equivalent value to the OpenAI or Anthropic equiva…

I wouldn’t say “literally” every industry: stuff like clothing, shipbuilding, consumer electronics assembly, certain rare earth raw materials, all we have pretty little participati…

I knew reddit was in its terminal phase when I started seeing FarmVille-style ads for some stupid reddit homegrown minigame in the top right of new reddit

Or this one as an example of a YouTube programming creator who uses a teleprompter i think quite cleverly as a way to have his eyes centered on the camera/webcam https://youtu.be/I…

Conversely, I read a lot of fantasy webnovels, and “discrete” shows up all the time when they mean “discreet” (which is 90% of the time what a normal author wants). It is legitimat…

DENSE_RANK() vs RANK() claims another victim

You can to some extent model a flexible number of conversations in a room in terms of a kind of graph theory: duration, number of participants, correlations or overlap between part…

To be fair, if you pay the repairman, your elevator also goes up :)

I think in general the model makers and to some extent their clients want a slightly higher pass rate over efficiency. This makes sense: for critical first week impressions clients…

Looks to be within the realm of natural variance expected from naturally variable models, ie error bars.

Another somewhat similar concept is how you can write Quarto markdown notebooks and have them output a RevealJS slideshow

Oh very interesting, I didn’t realize I should probably be using Fable Medium more than High, due to how that curve and the cost looks!

Beat me to it. The Wikipedia page for example looks like an advertisement for tutoring firms, and when you dig into the sources, it’s pretty oversold

I really never thought it would come up in a HN thread but I’m actually working on a modified version of Anki as a personal project (not quite ready yet though, but will open sourc…

The tricky question at the forefront of education research is, at least in my mind, trying to thread the needle between effective techniques that students don’t like, ineffective t…

I think the book Superlearning just gives the simple rule that you should spend 10% of your budgeted time on meta concerns (what to learn, what order, what strategies to use, etc) …
