lambdaba··on Claude for Desktop
I only use the chatgpt desktop app for quick throwaway interactions.

For anything more involved, I want a tab and an URL. Perfect use case for a webapp, native is pointless for this, especially if it's just a webview.

search for "20241022" in network tab in devtools, confirmed for me
lambdaba··on OpenAI Is a Bad Business
I don't remember who said it, but it wasn't some AI hype-rer, "LLMs eliminate 40% of the drudgery in code" - which has certainly been my experience, so, on that specific point, this is far from a slight convenience.

We're only two years in. To be frank I'm a loss on how to respond to the skepticism. If something so useful can't make a profit in the future you envision, I don't know what can.

I said they will be, from looking at the trajectory. Programmers are just early adopters.

How they are better? The o1 models succeed where all other models fail.

I don't know how to go more in depth now, but I use Claude, 4o, and o1, both mini and preview in parallel and o1 both mini and preview succeed in many tasks where the others fail.

o1 is better than Claude at more difficult tasks, I have used and continue to use both extensively

Forget about terminology, if you've been following developments for a while, you can't help but notice consistent improvements, and the new models are very powerful. I don't care if anybody calls it AGI, whatever they are, they will be massively transformative.
lambdaba··on How I Experience Web Today (2021)
It's funny because working with DNS-level blocking + cookie consent + ad blocker the sequence is perfectly fine, I had to go back to comments to understand what I was supposed to see.

Of course, that is besides the point, but I am surprised not everyone here has a setup like this.

lambdaba··on The best browser bookmarking system is files
I don't but I also avoid data silos whenever I can, so I paste links and other things in a text file.

lambdaba··on Omega-3 intake counteracts symptoms of anxiety and depression in mice
Sorry, this was just a quick search, I first heard about this from Dr. Barry Sears, and he had several accounts of miraculous recovery with massive doses of fish oil (20g+)
lambdaba··on Omega-3 intake counteracts symptoms of anxiety and depression in mice
- Nootropics Depot because I know the owner (online) and they do rigorous testing

- Viva Naturals from recommendations and testing (Labdoor)

- Nordic Naturals is a well-known premium brand

frankly I haven't documented, these are just some things out of the top my head

lambdaba··on Omega-3 intake counteracts symptoms of anxiety and depression in mice
I've researched trustworthy brands a lot, the ones I settled on are Nootropics Depot, Viva Naturals and Nordic Naturals. I prefer those with only Vit E as preservative.

It's used in TBI, see Dr. Barry Sears for some accounts.

> Most of the studies about omega-3 for traumatic brain injury are in animals, but they indicate potential for healing the human brain.

> After a trauma, the brain tends to swell, and the connections between some nerve cells can become damaged, while other cells simply die.

> National Institutes of Health research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may inhibit cell death and could be instrumental for reconnecting damaged neurons.

> Another recent study revealed genes that are activated to contain massive damage – especially inflammation – when the brain is injured. What activates those genes: omega-3.

> “We have strong data that suggest omega-3 will activate good proteins to cope with brain damage and turn off proteins that cause neuroinflammation,” said Dr. Nicolas Bazan, director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health in New Orleans and author of the study.

> Bailes consulted with a fish oil expert and eventually decided that administering 20 grams a day of omega-3 fish oil through a feeding tube might repair the myelin sheath. (For comparison: A typical supplemental dose for someone with an uninjured brain is about 2 grams a day.)

Sounds very cool, could you upload a screenshot of it in action?

Ah, ok, I found it worked with YouTube unlike regular chromedriver, didn't encounter Cloudflare when I used it

I've found selenium with undetected-chromedriver to work best.

lambdaba··on Parkinson's may begin in the gut, study says, adding to growing evidence
You can definitely get fatty liver by binging on fruit alone, and given that fruit juices exist and are still widely seen as a health food it's good to be specific.

Depending on where you live, that comes with an assortment of chemicals, and a dearth of nutriments.
lambdaba··on Linux: We need tiling desktop environments
Rectangle (https://rectangleapp.com/) makes macOS window management good enough (for a non-tiling WM), by adding keyboard shortcuts and drag gestures.
lambdaba··on uv – Declaring Script Dependencies
I'm not sure I follow, here's an example `pipx run` script:

  #!/usr/bin/env -S pipx run
  # /// script
  # dependencies = [
  #   "click==8.*",
  #   "Jinja2==3.*",
  #   "tomli==2.*",
  # ]
  # requires-python = ">=3.8"
  # ///
And it does manage temporary environments.
lambdaba··on uv – Declaring Script Dependencies
This was already possible with `pipx run`, I love having deps inline for simple scripts.

I don't see examples of using this with a shebang script, though I suspect it's possible.

lambdaba··on GLP-1 therapy increases visceral adipose tissue metabolic activity
When mitochondria don't function properly, organs can't efficiently metabolize energy, which can contribute to fat accumulation, including around the organs.
lambdaba··on Transformers for Ruby
Very cool, thanks. I'd switch to a Ruby WM in a heartbeat if it worked on Wayland.

Thanks! Is it possible for you to share more details about the domain and problem?
lambdaba··on Electric Clojure v3: Differential Dataflow for UI [video]
Maybe because language models are mostly good at boilerplate and Clojure and lisps in general are mainly about eliminating it entirely. Clojure programs are very terse.
lambdaba··on Transformers for Ruby
Do tell us more on how you use Ruby everywhere? I use Ruby exclusively for scripts (I love built-in inline deps with bundler/inline).
