I thought it would be interesting to make a site that lets you play a message over morse code at such a high pitch that someone younger can hear it, but it can't be heard by someone older (since hearing range declines with age). I could have probably had fun with it back in school: https://chirper.pages.dev

Thanks, those are great points, now I'm definitely excited for the full release to try it out

How does it compare to Google's Genie 3 or other similar models? At first glance it does look much more impressive visually

I'm no economist but here is how I think of it. In an ideal world let's assume every worker is replaced by one AI / robot that is an exact clone of them. Then let's say there is an ideal government that taxes all the income each person's clone makes and hands it directly to them. In such an economy nothing would change, things would go on as they always have.

Now some will be unlucky and end up with a clone that makes them way less than average. So to fix this the salaries of all the clones are put into one pot and redistributed as "UBI". Given the wealth disparity, most people would end up better off than before, the high earners of the past will be a bit worse off though.

But of course we are not in a perfect world, in reality there are many inefficiencies, and no company would accept a 100% AI worker tax. However, these AIs are presumably not just our clones, but 100x better. So we are in a position of abundance not scarcity. There's enough eggs for everyone. It becomes a question of distribution and policy

I just have one giant structured md file per project and have docs in the codebase

I've done graduate level RF stuff for the same reason, but I'm here to tell you just like everything else once you learn it and its demystified, it won't feel like "magic" anymore. That doesn't mean it wasn't worth learning, it was just as interesting as learning all about computers. It's just that the magic will always be in the unknown, and once you know it you'll just want to know something else.

The good thing is it's unlimited and all reachable if you spend enough time. Currently my interest is in chemistry, for example, that stuff is a complete mystery to me

> The problem is that I know how to work around these things

Well I'm sure you could come up with a few ways to work around your locking container but why isn't that also a problem? I think it comes down to the level of "activation energy" it requires, which may include breaking it open and also getting a new one.

In a similar way your digital block needs to have a high enough activation energy (both in getting around it and then turning it back on) that it effectively blocks you. It doesn't need to be impossible, it doesn't even really need to be that hard since we tend to be tempted with these things when feeling at a low energy (or we would be doing something else). As an example, I have the leechblock extension where turning it off would require uninstalling it or typing in something really long, I havent touched it in years.

Think of it as an aid to will power, you'll need higher obstacles the lower your wall of will power (a limited resource)

> Another issue is that sometimes sites have valuable information.

You should try blocking the feeds and recommendeds instead. Setup some regex rules, use ublock lists, get extensions which block the home page etc. But you shouldn't block them permanently, set just enough time to catch up / remind yourself that most of the content is useless then move on

I think you should narrow down the scope of what you want to be exceptional at to the point where it won't take up all your time. Then understand that it will still take a long time but maybe knowing that you are still making progress towards it will be enough to convince yourself to relax and "brainwash" yourself in the other direction

Would you say you're worried of not finding any position at all with that level of experience or do you still have options / fallbacks that you're holding on to?

> When integrated with tools such as formal proof verifiers, internet search, and symbolic math packages, I expect, say, 2026-level AI, when used properly, will be a trustworthy co-author in mathematical research, and in many other fields as well.

I always imagined math would be the very last field to be disrupted by AI, but to hear this coming from Terrence Tao himself (who I consider to be the face of math as someone not in the field) caught me off guard.

That's fantastic, it seems like such an essential feature that should have been part of the regular OpenAi UI on launch

I think it might make large scale code visualization in a similar way to how SourceTrail does it more feasible: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

Will the notebook feature allow branching out from the linear chain of chats or even reverting the chain to an earlier point? It wasn't clear from the post

You might find this interesting if you haven’t seen it already: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d6sVWEu9HWU&t=416s&pp=ygURc2t5...

I wouldn’t call it a Raspberry pi clone but you should consider BeagleBone. It’s a bit more expensive but I’ve heard it’s known for its Linux support

I first finish reading the textbook (or the parts I'm interested in), highlighting and taking notes on the side bars along the way. Then I go back through that marked up pdf and extract notes from that. The reason I stopped taking notes while reading are:

1. There was mental overhead from both understanding the material / organizing it into notes at the same time.

2. On the first pass everything seems noteworthy and the bigger picture is not clear. This leads to notes that are too long and unfocused.

One other thing I've found useful is to use of a combination of highlight colors / underlines to make the process of taking notes later easier or avoid notes altogether.

I already had my caps-lock as backspace so I settled on using single quote as ESC. It works great except when I need to use a lot of single quotes of course.

One method that may help is to write down a full list of actions that you do (or would like to do) regularly. Try to reduce that list to the minimum set where you think you would be satisfied if you did all those things. First categorize that list into at most 5 groups based on the things that are important to you and that you want to find balance between. Then within each group order them by how often they repeat (daily, weekly, etc.).

With that you have a clearly defined baseline of things that will make you feel like you are making progress everyday. Making the decisions and finding the motivation to take action might be hard but at least you can start with the things that you are absolutely sure of and are small enough that you can do easily.

If I need to I usually listen to the same two hour track by Ernesto Cortazar [1]. He has this great style where all his pieces seem simple and use a lot of repetition but at the same time are rich and have entrancing melodies. It’s great for keeping focus and not being too distracted by the music.

Sure Spotify is mentioned alot but the two sites in this comment are entirely different recommendation sites that just use Spotify as a music source

https://www.jqbx.fm/ Is a good site to listen to and share music with others if you have Spotify. An alternative if you don’t have Spotify is https://turntable.fm/

It’s not very unusual but putting filetype:pdf at the end of a search works great for finding papers, notes, books or any other pdf resources

Here is what the static code analyzer Sonar [1] always says for Java:

> “In applications where the accepted practice is to log an Exception and then rethrow it, you end up with miles-long logs that contain multiple instances of the same exception. In multi-threaded applications debugging this type of log can be particularly hellish because messages from other threads will be interwoven with the repetitions of the logged-and-thrown Exception. Instead, exceptions should be either logged or rethrown, not both.”

I think you misinterpreted what they meant

I take notes in a very similar format to Wikipedia, including the links. Just a lot more concise and with a hierarchy structure

I’m up and at my desk by 9am (remote). I usually just check my email and get right back to what I was working on the last day. During standup and other similar meetings I do some light exercise with a wireless headset, I’m thinking of getting a home treadmill soon.

Most of the day I just compete my sprint tasks and work with the team when things come up. Around the beginning and end of sprints I spend more time learning tech that both interests me and is relevant to the job. I don’t work too intensely, I go at the pace of the team and conserve some energy for my free time.

After I’m off work, I relax for an hour or two, then depending on the day I’ll either enjoy myself with media, activities outside, etc. or I’ll develop my interests and curiosities whatever they are at the time, and invest some time in self improvement in things like finance, health, etc. As you can probably tell I don’t have kids or a lot of other responsibilities

Branch education. They don’t upload very often but their 3d renderings of various tech is the best I’ve seen:

What’s stopping you from continuing to read textbooks? Even for advanced subjects I’m sure there are always some books that are targeted to a broader audience and don’t go too deep into the theory.
