Atuin is lovely, although I found some of its defaults pretty annoying until I changed them:

- It turns out I basically never want fuzzy search through my command history, and certainly not by default. I gave it a try for a couple weeks but it was very frustrating to be searching for a particular command, type in the exact prefix, and have the thing I was looking for hidden among hundreds of irrelevant entries. Solution: search_mode = "fulltext" in Atuin's config.toml

- Having a full screen pop-up appear whenever I hit up was really jarring, especially since I have a habit of hitting up a few times when I'm at the command line thinking of what I need to do next, to sort of refresh my memory on what I was just doing; the popup very effectively destroyed that chain of thought. Solution: eval "$(atuin init bash --disable-up-arrow)" in .bashrc

These are pretty minor issues and it's possible my preferences are just different from most!

Atuin now works really nicely for me. My only outstanding issues are:

- Under mosh the UI ends up corrupting the screen; apparently this is really more of a mosh bug (no alternate screen support) and you can work around it by having tmux/screen running: https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/issues/1324

- I still don't have a great model in my head of how sync works and find myself occasionally force-syncing across a few systems until I convince myself everything is in the same state.

- It would be nice to have some kind of settings sync so I don't have to make the config changes mentioned above on 10 different systems. Surprisingly I don't see a feature request for this yet so maybe I'll go open one...

Anyway I don't want these issues to stop people from trying Atuin – it's a really nice piece of software. I almost never make changes to the default environment so I consider it a testament to how useful it is that I've added it to all the systems I use regularly!

Cloning and genetic manipulation aren't well understood enough to be used in practice on the ways most people expect. And on the ways they can be used in practice, they are in wide use.

Keeping it closed is such a sobering experience. Sometimes I will close Slack to make an effort to get into focus mode, and run `sleep 3600 && open /Applications/Slack.app` to make sure I'm not leaving my coworkers hanging forever, but also let me get some time boxed focus time in.
Sorry, I wasn't clear - it sounds like they may have botched the risk profile - the article paints a picture where the real-world incidence/severity of defects is "high".

But, they're selling clicks, and the patients are looking for money/support, so it's hard to know for sure. It certainly seems like there should have been a discussion between MD and patient here (similar to what my friend had with her MDs, albeit different drugs/condition).
One thing that made a huge difference for me was turning of my watch history. If you do that you get a message on the homepage saying that it can't recommend videos until you turn on your watch history. Not very visually pleasing but it keeps me from scrolling through recommendations and now I only watch videos when a channel I follow puts out new content or when I choose to specifically search for something.
Universities all over the world are asking that question - and have been for centuries. They have come up with some great answers over time. It takes years for farmers to learn - agriculture (like science) advances on the death of old people who continue their unsustainable practices to the grave - but things are overall much better than the past and getting better.

People are not understanding what Gemini is for. This is partly Google's fault, of course. But clearly historical accuracy is not the point of generative AI (or at least this particular model). If you want an accurate picture of the founding fathers, why would you not go to Wikipedia? You're asking a generative model -- an artist with a particular style -- to generate completely new images for you in a fictional universe; of course they're not representative of reality. That's clearly not its objective. It'd be like asking Picasso to draw a picture of a 1943 German soldier and then getting all frenzied because their nose is in the wrong place! If you don't like the style of the artist, don't ask them to draw you a picture!

I'm also confused: what's the problem with the "picture of an American woman" prompt? I get why the 1820s German Couples and the 1943 German soldiers are ludicrous, but are people really angry that pictures of American women include medium and dark skin tones? If you get angry that out of four pictures of American women, only two are white, I have to question whether you're really just wanting Google to regurgitate your own racism back to you.

I'm genuinely surprised you can use if-else expressions in Jinja. Jinja uses such neutered expressions I would have looked for an equivalent ternary/iff filter.
> Could you elaborate more? I'm having trouble visualizing what you mean.

The standard prompt is PS1, which after every command, places the cursor at some point in the line that depends on the width of $PS1 contents.

By appending a newline to the existing PS1 variable, the cursor is always at the same point after every command - far left on the last line.

I did play with embedding the last command into the PS1 variable too, so that not only is the cursor at a constant position, but the line above it prints the last command too (!! or something like that)
> In C-derived languages, you can stick variable definitions anywhere.

ANSI C89 requires that variable declarations only occur at the beginning of the scope.

It basically "oh well I'm going to take a 2m break, let's click that short video " and getting sucked into the vortex.

A similar effect happens to me on Twitter. I sometimes click on a video / dumb meme account, etc. just to take a break or whatever (Twitter does a much worse job at creating the attention vortex, so it's easy for me to literally make it a 2m break). BUT, some hours later the algo digests my click and turns my feed into absolute garbage repeating an endless firehose of dumb meme content. (In Twitter's case this is actually helping me: I really avoid clicking on dumb content so the algo doesn't go nuts.)

A lot of the gaming-related stuff is just pure garbage.

"Secret gaming room" channels are especially egregious. Saw one where a kid bought a used boat (the kind with a below-deck area with a bed, kitchen, etc.), the kind you can get for ~20k or less if it is ~30 years old. Made a "secret gaming den", and then intentionally sunk the boat just to add some drama with the "secret den" filling up with water.

There's so many of these idiots on YT, that I can't even find the video now among hundreds of pages of videos.

Yeah, having to deal with the level 10 CVE for Postgres from Tuesday.

Driving those grids off-freeway (and even off-highway) you come through town and town again, and sometimes it's really clear why there's a town (say, you pass over a river or by a lake in or next to the town) and others are more like what was said "a town that exists only so the map won't be too empty".

I go through really weird phases with music. Music is a huge part of my life, sometimes I play piano, guitar, produce.

There's points I'll realize I've gone 6mo+ without opening spotify except for when I'm driving. Just months and months of the news or youtube as background and no music.
I think the people who automatically had a negative view of AI didn't think it through, when ChatGPT came out in Nov 2022, the realization was that something like this tutor friendly AI would be on the horizon.

Personally, I am looking forward to AI enabled healthcare, my sister has been dealing with health problems and she has to wait up to a month between appointments. At the very least AI can be used to speed up all the paperwork that doctors have to complete.

I hate this characterization of ADHD. I have it as well (diagnosed and medicated), and more distraction is the last thing I need. I cannot for the life of me imagining doing anything useful with youtube running in the background.

I think it simply depends if you were growing up with TV in the background. I haven't, so it's not soothing, it's maddening to have noise, loud chatter and unwanted sounds going on when I'm trying to direct my uneven focus.

The only thing that do not detract from focus is droning, instrumental music: psytrance or techno. But only when the workload is low. Otherwise I need absolute silence.

It's the second sentence of the abstract:

"Current AI models are already automating away the livelihoods of some artists, actors, and writers."

OpenAI's charter says:

"OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity."

https://openai.com/charter

So they are going to develop software that can outperform humans, for less money... Of course people are going to lose their jobs. That's your disempowerment. They're making good on that part. Now we're waiting for the second act where they're going to show us how it magically benefits all of humanity, including the newly unemployed horde.
No, they’re not. macOS is a fully-functional Unix environment, and apple has been as welcoming towards Asahi as they can be while staying officially 100% divorced from all activity related to it (Asahi has seen apple do releases with enabling work for the bootloader that had no possible purpose other than enabling third-party OS).

You’ve gotten some great advice!

Running long distances works really well for me.

There’s a neat thing about running. Humans are really good at it provided we can focus on what we’re doing and maintain a pace. Focus is hard in the modern world but when you lose that focus, your lungs will tell you right away.

Work is the same thing. We really don’t want to sprint through the tape and bonk when we’re 20% through. Instead, we want to find a pace, focus and hold it.
Not OP, but I would definitely find a lot of value from processing PDFs in such a way that it could eg understand tables and images. I work in mining and having it digest a 43-101 technical report with images and tables would be supremely valuable.

I know that might be a niche case tho.

Absolutely incredible work you’re doing tho wow, I’m very impressed by what you’re doing and the way you’re doing it. Even if you stopped now this is a masterpiece, so while yes I would definitely find a lot of value from being able to process images and graphs/tables, simply being able to process the text and cite it is already a superpower. Thank you for your amazing work!!!

It’s bit weird, but I feel like this conversation about screen time and digital addiction dropped out of the public consciousness during Covid, never to return. Apple released their screen time features in 2018, so this issue was just starting to hit critical mass right as Covid hit and dumped us all deep down the digital rabbit hole.

Now I notice even more social proof to keep going deeper into the digital life. Public shaming over green chat bubbles and genuine confusion if I tell someone I’m on not on a Meta owned social network.

I wonder if we’re all so addicted now that it’s no longer social acceptable to talk about our addiction. I wonder if we just started talking to each other less as well.
Show HN: Aicarousels.com – The Fastest Way to Create Social Media Carousels
I've created this tool as part of a personal challenge to Build and Launch a SaaS in 10 Days (You can binge-watch the entire saga right here https://www.youtube.com/@fer_MOMENTO)

The mission was clear: to make it easy for anyone to create engaging social media carousels, especially for non-designers who might have trouble customizing templates.

Templates can be tricky. They look great at first but can be hard to personalize. Users might struggle when they add their own text, change font sizes, or re-position elements, leading to a final design that isn't what they hoped for.

I came up with a solution: a tool that automates some of the design work and limits how much users can edit. This makes it harder for users to mess up the design, while the AI helps them write the content.

Best change I made was to totally restrict all phone and technology usage entirely (I mean entirely) for the first hour of the day. At that point I only handle direct personal comms like time sensitive texts, and don't use anything other than directly work output related tech for the following two hours.

My ability to focus skyrocketed.
My speculation is: “Higher-ups kept demanding that technicians ‘do more with less’ in order to deliver on quarterly metrics and now we’re finally seeing the cumulative result of employees being stretched thin, underpaid, and overworked.”

Very glad you found something that helped, but this is a good place to warn people that everyone is different. In some people, stimulant treatment can actually kindle problematic behaviors like the one you escaped. For some, they enhance focus but that results in more focusing on the hobbies, distractions, and side projects.

I bring this up because while ADHD medication is great for some, there's a growing problem of people reading positive anecdotes and assuming it's quick fix for all things lifestyle related. In clinic practice there's a growing number of people showing up with everything from stimulant-exacerbated Dermatillomania (skin picking disorders) to problematic behaviors with porn consumption after seeking out stimulant treatment based on internet advice. Stimulants are powerful drugs, and there's an entire other conversation to be had about the excessive prescribing practices of some of the providers out there (my pharmacist friends are in disbelief at the size of some of the doses they're handing out to people these days).
