Had to look up the technique, Eguchi method, and it uses color rather than complicated musical notation to associate with each key. Interesting how those who have synesthesia naturally have this same color, key association.

I like this framing by Michael Hashimoto, on Prompt Engineering: https://mitchellh.com/writing/prompt-engineering-vs-blind-pr... Most of what we see on Twitter or YouTube is Blind Prompting. However, it is possible to

This flexibility is a big draw. I can experiment with in memory, launch with cloud, and move to my own infra if I’m lucky enough to need that kind of scale.

Interesting read. I’m curious if anyone is familiar with the software they use to connect the genetic sequencing. I’m amazed that they can find migration patterns from this data.

A JavaScript app that automated the resolution of half of Twitter’s support tickets. Logic got refactored after a few years, but still used at Twitter. Probably saved Twitter about $10 million a year over the last ten years.

This is interesting. Looks like the app might be just parsing this schema from the webpage and adding a nice ui.

So excited about your launch. Congrats! I’ve seen this issue of copy-pasting copy at nearly all the companies I work for.

In the paper, he recommends using a magnetic sail to slow the craft down from drag in the interstellar medium. Pretty fun stuff on page 6, 60 years to Alpha Centauri! Linked in the wiki or here, http://path-2.narod.ru/design

Large parts of Tacoma Washington are tribal land owned by non-tribe members and it functions. I would assume a similar arrangement would work in Tulsa.

I like this user-centric vision of the web where users are customers. We’re trained so deeply that ad supported is free, when really it’s just a deferment of costs. Companies always get you by adding marketing costs into their costs. Once N

If you’re in a store and see someone acting odd with gift cards, it’s ok to say something and try to help out. I recently encountered an elderly woman fiddling with some purchased gift cards (at CVS) while talking to someone on her cell pho

Ironically enough, it may be CPC ads themselves that allow people protect their attention. Browser add ons like Ad Nauseam, http://adnauseam.io/ , automatically click on ads (after first being blocked) and ensure that there&

That's the right way, but internet on landing was super convenient. I bought proper SIMs for the places I stayed longer than a few days, but did it outside the airport (cheaper and no lines) once I was settled in.

This is crazy. International roaming is one reason I switched to T-Mobile. I recently traveled through Southeast Asia and had usable internet throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam (looks like no more free internet
