Cool visuals, as with everything like this where the creator probably just churned open datasets through LLMs there are many inaccuracies particularly around borders. An interesting effort though, and at least this one…
Really like the look of this. I use Claude Code (and other CLI LLM tools) to interact with my large collection of local text files which I usually use Obsidian to write/update. It has been awesome at organization,…
Thanks for listening! Yes, I am "that" one.
I wouldn't call myself a historian, but I have been doing a history podcast since 2014. I agree that Ben's writings on LLMs and how they impact the humanities/history are great reads. But I am also the perfect target…
I think it appears to have done a good job of summarizing the points that it summarize, at least judging from my quick watch of a few sections and from the YT Transcript (which seems quite accurate). Almost makes me…
Seems particularly funny in an article about Emacs, a piece of software that lets you get in situations where some portion of your "just create" time becomes "managing my custom emacs, please don't break".
You beat me to this comment, but you are absolutely correct.
Reminds me of the issue with bad CGI in movies. The only CGI you notice is the bad CGI, the good stuff just works. Same for AI generated art, you see the bad stuff but do not realize when you see a good one.
No, but it might cause some people to say "so I am not having kids"
Agreed, classifying all draws as boring is just wrong. There are boring draws, some are excruciating to watch because so little is happening. There are also draws that are the most stressful, exciting, and action packed…
I was going to mention Warp here as well. It is fantastic when it comes to almost anything in the terminal. It has caused me to use the terminal a lot more on all of my computers because I don't have to spend a bunch of…
On the flip side, I get absolutely garbage sleep if I don't eat within about 1-2 hours of going to sleep.
Given the pace of development in this space, it is probably worth noting in the title that this is from November 2024 so the results might be a bit dated.
Many of those leaving Nasa today are probationary employees in their first years of employment. This isn't making up for past mistakes, it is hurting Nasa's future.
I wonder if this is at least partially related to the move away from phonics over the last 20 years (which is now coming back): https://apnews.com/article/phonics-science-reading-c715dea43... Looks like some states that…
If there are no upvotes, what dictates something being "Featured" on the homepage, the items of which are said to be the "Greatest"?
I think the Ergodox ez does those keys better than a standard keyboard because they are split between the two thumb clusters in the standard layout. Don't even have to move my hands to hit any of the four keys. It was…
Yeah, I would recommend this be VERY low on your priorities list because of all of the challenges involved. There is a reason none of the major podcast apps have even attempted to do anything with ad blocking.
One of the challenges that are always going to be present when trying to skip podcast ads is that the vast majority (especially on larger shows) of ads are inserted dynamically even those that are read by the host. That…
Now I am wondering if there are any deep studies of "World War 2 movie scenes where they talk to a map" from movies. That scene from A Bridge Too Far is a great example of giving the audience some spatial understanding…
Interesting article! The details on the maps are always interesting. The first map of 1939 shows the British blockade line of the North Sea that was so important during the First World War but would play a much lesser…
I am assured of this.
The CEO will be forced to spend an entire meeting in a remorseful mood, do you know how hard that is? He will need a raise due to the amount of trauma that will be experienced.

This reminds me of a early career Software Engineer who thinks the answer to every complexity problem is to throw it all away and start a rewrite. I look forward to their third attempt in a few years when Arc: The…
