Reading Factfulness was an epiphany for me: our brains are wired to pay attention to the superdramatic in a way that is now harmful to it - the same way that preferences for sugar and fat are now harmful. Factfulness helped to show me that,

Do you have any recommendations for literature you like? (My experience in eye science matches yours - the literature is WAY ahead of what people believe)

Having a good prompt-engineering skill is the highest-leverage thing IMO, so I burnt 2 Max 20x usage windows to help Fable help me refactor mine. With its partnership we: - Went deep on "what types of guidance even are there? what does

I see this with my dad as he approaches retirement. I try to remind him that if he doesn't pay with money, he's going to pay with his time... and right now he's saving money he doesn't need for time he doesn't have.

I'm building an agent orchestrator (plug: https://github.com/mieubrisse/agenc ) and asked Claude what prior art exists. It pulled back Plan 9, and I was shocked: this is exactly what we need today, as I'm conv

I've been wondering this too: for us, UUIDs are super opaque. But for an agent, two UUIDs are distinct as day and night. Is the best filesystem just blob storage S3 style with good indexes, and a bit of context on where everything live

The guy to watch here is https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone . He's rewritten SQLite in Rust with fixes, written his own Rust async engine with fixes that Tokio doesn't have, generated an insane number of tools f

I'm working on this! https://github.com/mieubrisse/agenc I think Gastown is truly special, but I wanted something more focused on learning as I think that's the real bottleneck. So I built AgenC to make it t

Yep, and I've been doing this already! So far no response (understandable; I'm just a random guy), which is why I figured I'd expand my search by posting here on HN.

Re. what apps can run in the background - have you checked out the "allow background battery usage"? This has worked so far for me.

Yes, exactly! We generally treat spaces with the benefit of the doubt, which I think is smart for mental health. A conference center which doesn't have the bathrooms close to where you'd expect probably is just badly designed ra

I appreciated this comment. I really dislike Trump, but I try to steelman the opposing side to not fall into the "other party bad!" nonsense. But his recent actions have made it very hard to find a steelman, and it's been har

I had an epiphany that faulting myself, and my self-control, is exactly what these sites want you to do. "Oh, it's just your bad self-discipline" No, this is full-on war for control of your mind. And the adversary spends mill

I also use DFInstagram. You can keep stories; I have mine configured to kill the feed & cancerous search page grid but allow me to see stories. Works great.

A similar thing happened to me. I once took a timed test with a section that had me translating a string of symbols to letters using a cipher, response being multiple choice. If you read the string left to right, there were multiple answer

The reason they pair it with consulting is because: 1. The products are powerful but complex, and were designed by smart, technical people for smart, technical people. They lack some random-person usability. 2. The average client employee i

This is me too! Everything about writing code, running it, messing with Github, tinkering with my dotfiles, automations... even as a preschooler, I was always dissatisfied that my drawings didn't do anything. I feel astoundingly luck

I'm super into this idea. Programmers (us) used to be gatekeepers... and that's less true now. It means my salary goes down, but also means that the world is going to build more, cooler stuff quicker.

I understand the confusion! cmdk is complementary, not competitive, to the built-in fzf shortcuts (I use both cmdk and built-in fzf shortcuts in my day-to-day). The concrete value-adds of cmdk (what fzf doesn't do out of the box): 1. S
