I also have adhd and struggled with this through multiple iterations of trying to integrate Anki into my daily routine.

What finally helped was that I first learned the habit of reviewing the cards daily, before I trained the habit of adding new cards.
I always fell into the trap of picking up Anki (maybe because an exam came up, or because I was otherwise motivated to learn a specific topic) and immediately writing lots of cards. This gave me a dopamine boost (thus reinforcing the habit), but quickly became overwhelming.

It only stuck when I learned to integrate the review process into my daily life, without actually having anything to create flashcards about. I went days without creating new cards and then every once in a while I thought of something that was a good fit for Anki and that I was unlikely to remember otherwise.

As a result the review process was just a handful of cards every day, able to be reviewed in under a minute. Eventually (I'd say after a month or two), the habit settled and I didn't need to think about it anymore. And because I wasn't fixated on creating new cards I was able to enjoy a gradual increase in creating flashcards as I got better at writing them and recognising when they were a good fit.

To be clear, this took maybe four or five failed tries, even though I read articles like this one. I had to make most of the mistakes covered in this (and other) articles myself, before I got better at writing cards. The tips still helped me arrive quicker at the solution, but it was hard to grasp why they were right, without experiencing the mistakes with my own cards.
Like most people I gave up on the whole semantic pedantry a long time do. Correct header ordering, basic semantics like <nav>: sure, that's great. But "no <p> inside <dt> allowed!" just makes no real sense and is exceedingly pedantic.

The validator badges were kind of a backlash against the tag soup of the day; part of the reason for that was that everyone who knew how to program a VCR could get employed as a "webmaster" in those days, but also because the authoring tools for non-tech authors weren't as good. HN sees a lot of posts from non-tech people, often written on WordPress, Medium, or whatnot. 25 years ago it would more likely have been "tag-soup'd" by some non-tech person who just learned a bit of HTML.
A lot of people in the comments are suggesting alternative small talk, like "tell me what you did this weekend" or "tell me what you're about (?!)". I don't understand the need for any of that. You're meeting in some social environment: talk about that. If it's a dinner, talk about the food, or the host. If someone has just given a speech, talk about that. If you're at a sporting event, or a mediaeval reenactment event, talk about that. In extremis, talk about the weather. There's no need to either deliver or request an elevator pitch of any sort, on any subject, is there?
No, actually it is thoroughly debunked as a measure of anything useful (except scores below ~80) and its significance as a predictor is miniscule. I recommend you read this: https://medium.com/incerto/iq-is-largely-a-pseudoscientific-...
> I've always mitigated the risks by bringing my own USB charging device that plugs into another USB port (i.e. a public USB -> power bank (charging) -> phone) or using a traditional outlet -> my own USB charger+cable -> phone. It's inefficient at times, but a lot safer.

Though, why not just use a 'USB condom'?
Couldn't agree more. I absolutely hate being asked what I do for a living. I spend a large part of my life doing it, I don't want to spend my free time talking about it, or trying to explain it. It doesn't define me. It doesn't mean anything, I do it to get paid. The end.

I always make a point of never asking people what they do for the same reason. Indeed there are people I have now known for years and I have no idea what they do for a living.
Which is all the more reason to separate the payments system and money supply from investments and loans.
I believe it is compatible: some really want GPL, some are fine with permissive licenses, and some are fine with proprietary.

At the end of the day, a proprietary client to an open API still prevents lock-in. Maybe at some point the UX of the proprietary is so good that some people are happy paying for it, while others will maybe use a lightweight OSS CLI client that fits their need better.

It's all good for me if I am not forced to use the Electron client because the API is not open (e.g. Slack, Discord).

I read Sun Tzu ages ago because it was this legendary book by an undefeated general, but I found it underwhelming. It's not that it's wrong; a lot of it is vital core strategic stuff. But a lot is tautological, a lot is obvious, a lot is very circumstantial, and quite a lot is vague nonsense.

I honestly don't see how you can possibly apply just Sun Tzu is battle. Much of it is vague or superficial. And that may be why it endures: the details of with change constantly, with every new technology and every new idea. But you can't fight a war with just basic principles; you've got to understand the weapons, the soldiers and the terrain and other circumstances you're fighting with.

In a sense, Sun Tzu even addresses that: you've got to know yourself and your enemy. So in a sense, the example that the article starts with, where Ma Su got to lead an army based just on his knowledge of Sun Tzu, was completely counter to Sun Tzu's advice: Ma Su may have known Sun Tzu, but he didn't know his own army or that of the enemy. That's what experience is for.

So it's not that Sun Tzu is nonsense; it's that it's not enough. And it's old. It's valuable because it was the first major treatise on strategy and war, but it has been improved upon for thousands of years. It doesn't trump anything that was written later. Later books address the same issues and more, but in a more appropriate context. It's not that Sun Tzu is bad, it's that more recent works are better, more up to date, more relevant, and more applicable.

That said, I recognise a lot of Sun Tzu's principles in the war in Ukraine. A blatant one: all over the summer they were talking about the battle for Kherson, and I thought: is it wise to announce that? That way Russia can prepare for it. And Russia did. And then Ukraine took a large swathe of land east of Kharkiv, on the complete opposite end of the frontline. "When you are going to attack nearby, make it look as if you are going to go a long way; when you are going to attack far away, make it look as if you are going just a short distance."

Later they did take Kherson, but only after Russia had withdrawn from it, because Ukraine had made it impossible for Russia to continue defending it. "Attack where there is no defense." Of course to accomplish that, they used long-range artillery that Sun Tzu couldn't even dream of.

I think the average consumer does not know and/or does not (have the time to) care about it. It's almost impossible for an average consumer to own a device where some huge corporation does not have its influences. Just like it is almost impossible not to use any Unilever product.
I agree. And having to re-evaluate and improve your own mental models or local theories is part of learning anyway. That's not going away with these changes. But I think with these changes, the mental models will be easier to understand for teachers and closer to the model we aim for as teachers. As a result, it should be easier to nudge students into reforming their understanding towards the models we aim for. In particular, we can make easier programming examples because we can strip simple programs of a lot of more advanced boilerplate and syntax.

For a $1T organisation, there should be better ways to handle and channel distractions. For e.g. Goodreads, acquired by Amazon in 2013. Otherwise this is a “failed” aquisition. The failure is from the society’s perspective.
I really hope you didn't take the book that seriously.

Shellenberger's central thesis is that addiction, mental illness, and "disaffiliation" are the primary causes of homelessness. However, this oversimplified view ignores the complex interplay of factors such as affordable housing shortages, job loss, and systemic inequalities that contribute to the problem. By focusing solely on progressive policies, Shellenberger turns a blind eye to the broader socio-economic context that has given rise to homelessness in the Bay Area.

The book's methodology is highly suspect. Shellenberger relies heavily on secondhand accounts and outdated ethnographic studies while failing to engage with the current experiences of homeless individuals. This glaring omission undermines the credibility of his analysis and reveals a lack of empathy for those affected by the issue.

Shellenberger's penchant for exaggeration and misrepresentation further erodes his argument. He is quick to criticize progressive approaches such as harm reduction and housing first policies but offers little in the way of evidence-based alternatives. Instead, he proposes vaguely authoritarian solutions that betray a deep-seated ideological bias.

Ultimately, the book's distorted portrayal of homelessness serves only to fan the flames of the culture wars.
> - Reliability. The last thing that you would want is for your application to take high load and go down, but you’re unable to debug it because the high traffic led to high log load and subsequently took down your o11y server. Logflare is built on the BEAM and can handle high loads without breaking a sweat. We’ve handled over 10x average load for ingestion spikes and Logflare just chugs along.

Can logflare scale out into multiple containers / vms / machines? Is Supabase currently deploying something like autoscaling with kubernetes or something?

I've talked with endless amount of people, people I know since before and people I don't know since before, and I don't think anyone (unless relevant to the discussion at hand) has asked me how much money I make, or who I'm sleeping with.

Maybe it's because I'm not 16 years old, or maybe it's because I don't frequent night clubs in hot metropolitan areas anymore, but that strikes me as very odd that most of the people you end up talking with bring up those two subjects.
It's not clear to me if those are due to shortcomings in WebKit, the site, or if it's to be "bug-compatible" with anything else. Either way, 1,600 lines of code doesn't seem a lot to me.
There is required disclosure, certainly for anything on the INES scale and for lots and lots of things below that. But there will always be some kind of lower limit to the reporting requirements, so things don't get ridiculous. Currently we are at "not allowed to bring anything glow-in-the-dark" into a nuclear facility because the tritium contained therein will light up all alarms and trigger reporting requirements.

How much lower should the reporting limit be? "Someone brought a banana for lunch!"? You can certainly measure "elevated levels of radioactivity at 5123456mBq!" there and then claim a coverup because nobody reported it...

Haven't tried it and it's maybe nice.

But I find it ironic that it's called "zero bullshit git" while essentially being an abstraction layer on top of git. Since (IMHO) developers must learn the git API at some point, using an abstraction layer that defines a slightly different API is overhead.

Zoom out a bit. How many iterations of civilization have we seen over the past 250k years? A lot. Language is the architecture of civilization, with each iteration of society dependent on the structures of vernacular to take its shape.

I am personally doubtful that humanity will be able to succeed for more than a few hundred years as a mono-culture. It needs variance (multiple languages) and experimentation (new languages) to evolve and respond to change.

My argument is not about individuals speaking multiple languages, it's about different groups of people adopting different models of reality and trying them out.

The echo chamber can have an external impact at (sometimes) crucial times. For e.g. There can be a future scenario where Google struggles with its search business and other companies/general public do not invest in a new Google product just because people from this echo chamber advise them not to and highlight Google’s poor reputation in handling non-search products.

No, but it predicts variation that is not explained by family wealth.

It could probably be somewhat cheaply extracted during decoding.
Progressive summarization works pretty well - I'm using that for https://findsight.ai

You can even get lesser LLMs to do the bulk reduction that have GPT clean it up on the way to even less content. Admittedly, that does take a lot of prompt engineering, chunk selection and reinforcement though (LLM supervising LLM).

I’m puzzled by your comment. I am expert in Rust for almost a decade, but only mildly conversant in C++, and have no interest in actively learning more C++.

Rust seems to me far easier to learn and get going in due in major part to its incontrovertibly superior standard tooling.

I can’t see any place for any meaningful difference in iteration speed between the two, save that you may well have to iterate more in C++ due to memory safety bugs the compiler doesn’t catch.

As for finding contributors, I get the impression that Rust is considerably more accessible, and thus will increasingly find contributors more easily, as people that just love programming will actively choose to learn Rust far more often than C++. (For the current state of affairs, I think it’ll depend on what sort of contributor you’re looking for, in skill, industry, paidness, &c. Some segments will certainly go one way, and others certainly the other.)
If we gave an AI the ability to play with Turing machines, it could develop an understanding much larger than the universe, encompassing even alternate ones. The trouble, then, would be narrowing its knowledge to this one.
I can't be the only one thinking that Goodreads is next.
Overall great tips. Worth trying, but they are very personal. For example, asking in multiple ways will not really help me.

I am working on a learning app/system. The reason for that is, that it is very difficult for me to remember staff. I tried some apps and systems like spaced repetition/leitner, but they didn't work well for me, especially when there are a lot of cards. Supermemo is the closest thing that has worked for me.

After that I gave up and experimented with plain paper based maps and probably found the best way for me to learn. Then I implemented an improved version of it, mainly because the computer can store more historical information. At its core, the system measures the difficulty of each card and creates appropriate learning batches.

I have a working prototype, and so far I have gotten amazing feedback on it. I have introduced a version for people who have even more difficulties to learn.

It has a long way to go, but if anyone is interested in trying it out when it goes public next year, please let me know.
That was true for the first 15 or so years of this century, it's no longer true as Wind and Solar have caught up and have been neck and neck in added output.

The last couple of years are noisy (gas actually went down and coal bounced back up one year) but the long term trend is for wind and solar to continue to extend their lead.

edit: to be clear, because this is a little ambigous

> Natural gas is by far the fastest growing energy source in the US by total output.

Gas is still the biggest energy source for electricity in the US by far, but it's not the fastest growing by far. Definitely not in percentage terms but also recently, not in absolute change either.

I don't think this really makes much of a difference. At least for me it didn't.
Sometimes I remove cards that are too easy, sometimes I see that the next time to review them would be 6 months down the line and I leave it in, because the cost of leaving it is so small.

What has made a difference though is thinking about wether I still actually want to remember the contents of a card. Sometimes a card comes up that I haven't seen in months and I think "you know what, I haven't thought about this at all outside of Anki and I don't think that'll change." and then I just remove it. Sometimes I create a nearly identical card again later on, sometimes I really didn't need to know something.

Weird thing is that I don't actually have a connection to five sachets of sugar.
