Yes please add an obvious method to go back to your homepage - I also attempted to click the circles to do that because there was no link or anything :) I was interested in checking out more of your writing and I had to change the URL to do

100%. The term "second brain" is getting kind of a bad rep because of people using the dump+AI method. I don't think Tiago Forte who, as far as I know, coined the term meant doing that, at least based on his book on the subje

There seems to be two schools of thought for "second brain" stuff: 1. Those who kind of semi-obsessively write down every little thought, semi-obsessively catalogue everything, etc. 2. Those who use the idea of "writing helps

I work in adtech. We actually had to mangle some of our analytics data because it didn't match the broken data a client was used to. Our data was more accurate , but because the numbers didn't match the other analytics suite the

Out of curiosity, I've ran some experiments on Facebook for stuff like this. Results: - Reporting a message does nothing no matter how much the content breaks their terms of use. 100% of messages I reported bounced back in a matter o

Yeah, I'm kind of AI-negative, but I found this very well presented and thought out. I'm not convinced that the fix for AI-heavy workflows is a good harness or an established codebase, but it seems difficult to show it for certain

I found out about Obsidian a couple years ago and it finally solved all the problems I've had with notetaking over the years. Something about how you use it to create notes and connect them together just makes sense. I can finally use

This is pretty neat. I once had the idea of using Minecraft to represent filesystems. If you think of movies with "cyberspace" where they navigate files in a 3D space. So you would generate a world based on files and folders on yo

As an Unreal Engine user, the discussion around Verse is curious. It feels like a lot of UE devs don't like the syntax at all, and would have much preferred a more traditional language. And then Epic announces they're getting rid

This is a very interesting idea, partially because I recently wrote about how Svelte is kind of "invisible" as a tool for writing webapps (compared to f.ex. React). Much like gingerBill says here, when I use Svelte the tool "

Darn, current 3DR took down the legacy site? Their CEO went on a big spiel a while back about how he's such a big fan of the "original" 3DR, and grew up on their games and whatnot, gave a pretty good impression. But taking th

Not sure of your level, but as a beginner, these two were recommended to me on HN previously: - https://www.cambridge.org/highereducation/books/conceptual-m... - https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014&#x

Good point, hadn't thought at all of this kind of perspective. Though the fact it's some dodgy residential proxy provider that runs this stuff makes me feel like it isn't going to become available for something good.

Not an arcade game but Nintendo World Cup on the NES is excellent fun even today. Its japan-only sequel takes it even further with crazy nonsense, like being able to jump on top of the ball and run around on it

Interesting, I would have expected macOS to have this feature because Windows has supported window-specific keyboard layouts for what feels like forever. I don't use my Mac much nowadays, but gonna have to grab this just in case.

I've read a bunch of what could be considered "self help" and while they often have a lot of fluff, they do have interesting points. Many of them reference actual research studies to back those points. I just skip the motiv

I think this purely as an idea is pretty fun, and there is value in that. But beyond the initial impressions it's exactly as you say. It's not different at all from others in how it will get annoying over time. Accessibility is

I was an avid GReader user and then lost all of the feeds when they closed down. I've been setting up miniflux lately, but the biggest problem is that over the years I've completely lost all blogs I used to follow (and many of the

Articles like this always make me wonder "there could be something interesting about this", but they always assume I know more math (or something) than I do. Does anyone write about these kinds of topics in a more approachable man

In some ways I like the concept. Making interesting papers easier to find and easier to digest seems like a good thing. But the popularity metrics and AI aspects seem like they will cause a bias towards certain types of papers, making poten

In theory maybe in some sense, but if we read Naur's definition of "theory" in a more strict or philosophical way, they can't in full. An LLM can't build a theory, because it doesn't have "real" exper
