Good catch! I misremembered his model. He actually uses an iPhone 13 Mini, which definitely counts as small (by modern smartphone standards, anyway).

My dad is 87 and I'm seriously thinking about buying him one of these. He wants a phone that will fit in his pocket, but his vision isn't great so he has the text size bumped up pretty high. Right now he's using an iPhone 15.

Honestly? I looked it up on the glossary page of the company wiki and didn't feel much of anything about having to learn it. At the time I didn't know what "Global Biodiversity Information Facility" referred to either, o

I think context and audience matter a lot. The post seems to mostly be talking about acronyms in the context of writing that's aimed at a public audience, but a lot of acronym use is aimed at a much more targeted audience. For example,

For me it was Suno, not any of the coding tools. I prompted it to write a song about my family's little dog, told it a few things about the dog, and it came back with a K-pop-style anthem that had a super catchy melody and lyrics that

It actually did automatically break the work up into chunks and launched a bunch of parallel workers to each handle a smaller amount of work. It wasn't doing everything in a single instance. The problem wasn't that it lost track o

The biggest thing tying my team to GitHub right now is that we use Graphite to manage stacked diffs, and as far as I can tell, Graphite doesn't support anything but GitHub. What other tools are people using for stacked-diff workflows (

Please do this! As a Graphite user, I'd love to be able to switch to jj for my local development, but the disconnect between it and Graphite keeps me away.

This is an interesting way to look at it because you can kind of quantify the tradeoff in terms of the value of your time. A simple analysis would be something like, if you value your time at $60/hour, then spending an additional $30 i

When I was living in China I got used to crossing large streets one lane at a time. Pedestrians stand on the lane markers with cars whizzing by on either side while they wait for a gap big enough to cross the next lane. It's not great

As a satisfied customer of yours, the prospect of having to give up Graphite is the main thing keeping me from giving jj a try at my day job. Ironic, since if there are a bunch of people in my boat, the lack of us in jj's user base wil

I didn't get a diagnosis at Kaiser SF, but I was able to get meds through them. Maybe this will be of use to you. I was diagnosed by a non-Kaiser psychiatrist I found on my own. After trying different prescriptions, we eventually set

This looks really useful! Wish I'd had something like this when I was learning Mandarin. I'm curious what determines whether or not you add a given language to the list. DeepL and Claude, at least, have usable translation ability

This is maybe not in the spirit of OP's question, but I do it by having successfully made the case early in my company's lifetime that we should open-source most of our code. Nearly every piece of code I write at work is part of o

The performance on programming tasks is impressive, but I think the limited context window is still a big problem. Very few of my day-to-day coding tasks are, "Implement a completely new program that does XYZ," but more like, &quo

One place I think it can be useful is in shortening the feedback loop for learning outside the classroom. As an example (not K-12!) my wife is learning Japanese. She's taking a class and the teacher gives her homework, but she also stu
