I'd like to see the ability to save and reload chats. Also the newline key combo doesn't work when running in a terminal inside VSCode.

Is this perhaps an opportunity for some companies to explicitly do blind hiring, or something along those lines? I'm thinking of Coinbase (and others) who have taken a somewhat con…

This is my general feeling as well. People enjoy catastrophizing, and also fail to appreciate that we as a species are actually fairly good at solving problems.

if you hit play in the bottom left of the webcam image it gives you a little time lapse video.

I think the most likely future is one where we do mostly nothing for a long time, until things get quite bad, and then one nation or a small group of nations does some kind of sola…

I'm halfway through the book. That opening bit is so great, and the rest has been a big letdown so far. Really feels like that opening was written as a short story and then the res…

HAG Capisco. I think a big detriment to many chairs is that you end up in one position and never move. The Capisco seems to encourage a lot of fidgeting around, in a good way.

Tyler has spoken in the past about the huge amount of research he does for his podcast, and it shows. Always an interesting conversation.

I went to my local big box store maybe three weeks ago and the whole fitness section had been cleaned out. It seems like bikes are getting very popular (at least here in PNW) and I…

It was a political science class, so you're probably right; but how exactly does it apply?

I had a professor pose a similar idea to a class I was in, the idea being that if a perfectly simulated universe is a technological possibility at some point in the future, and tha…

Probably the single program I miss the most on Linux. I've never been able to find an acceptable replacement.
