I programmed a spaced repetition system that integrates the doing, so that my cards aren't just memorization and theory. Each flashcard is a kata I have to program, and the program checks if my output is correct.

What is the usual script of those insurance scam calls?

Thank you for your answers, they were very helpful.

When the Mercedes-Benz Source Code Exposure happened I remembered I wasn't doing secrets management in the proper way, but good to know there's less risk since I'm a solo developer. But Doppler looks worth a shot.

> Do not read secrets from environment variables

> Secrets should only be accepted via credential files, pipes, AF_UNIX sockets, secret management services, or another IPC mechanism.

Which one of these is the most convenient and portable to use?

Do you use secret management services for work only, or do you use them in your personal projects too?

I thought so too until I ignored the philosophy section.

Those aliens have no gps and worse internet. Flight travel and shipping is more expensive too. Weather forecasting is more difficult. They never create Starlink.

Good questions. The future is unpredictable. No one will be half right on how a future with an AGI will look like.

Inflated is not an apt descriptor of artist wages, those are known to be low.

Among working human artists your opinion is in the minority. Most professionals are not a fan of this.

What subreddits did you look through?

There is still a large gap, therefore space for meaningful generalization.

> I promise you that the entire world will be in awe of these next 12 months

People were saying the same thing 12 months ago.

A site similar to this I enjoy is Reddit Reads[1]. It displays the top books for most subreddits.

A fun way to learn about a niche, hobby or internet culture is seeing what that group reads.

I tried out iA writer on android because Obsidian's loading times are bad but was disappointed to see you can't set a folder in iA writer android.

Editing files is even slower since you have to pick a file from the android file search.

It's a well designed app otherwise.

Try it. You tried vim which was a large time investment and it paid off.

Try Obsidian too, for a week to write down your thoughts. Don't even commit to it, just use it to journal for a week to see if you like it.

The killer feature of Obsidian was the wikilinks, but now that other editors are getting that feature it is replaceable.

But the other killer feature is avoiding vendor lock-in. With some apps your notes are on their servers in an inscrutable data format, and some apps don't even let you export without paying. With markdown notes on the other hand you can take your notes anywhere, sync them with git, dropbox, syncthing, etc.

You're not bound to obsidian, and your markdown notes format will always be readable, unlike many of today's formats! See [1] "LibreOffice is better at reading old Word files than Word"

I would brake up with her earlier.

Helix is beginner friendly. It's keybindings make more sense than vim's.

How does spaced repetition not account for the spacing effect?

In countries like America yes those 90s computers were widely available.

But now practically everyone no matter the country has a phone now. The availability is much higher. There are more ways to learn, videos from harvard and fun games are the new introductions instead of manuals.

You're downvoted but learning material has improved a lot since then. Spaced repetition + today's resources should remove a couple years from the 10.

People can even practice programming on their phone with termux. Anyone can program anytime instead of having to wait to use the family computer for just an hour like back in the day. It's so easy to get mileage in.

The complexity of frameworks has increased, but the fundamentals haven't changed and the learning material on the fundamentals is more available and free.

This medium article[1] argues there is a decline of genius.

> I think the most depressing fact about humanity is that during the 2000s most of the world was handed essentially free access to the entirety of knowledge and that didn’t trigger a golden age.

But I believe we are in a golden age, innovations are made every year, life keeps getting better. Change is so frequent that it has become mundane and we don't appreciate it.

Many people are taking advantage of the quality of learning resources, and it's speeding up the development of everything.

I would use function calling instead to return a boolean and throw away anything that isn't a bool.

You simply feed the text to another ChatGPT.

Just kidding, it should only require function calling[0] to solve this. Make the program return an error if the output isn't a boolean. It's easy to avoid this mistake.

Those are my first thoughts too. The calcification is real.

> Let's call it Koderski's paradox since that's the Reddit user's name.

I'm in favor of this name.

This scene is at least 7 hours in, at episode 1 no one ever expects Maeve, the sex worker to be such a focal point in the series.

Her being the first to wake up this way and become more conscious is a huge spoiler.

The author considers the bug reporting to be a benefit, it's a contrast from this post last month "One game, by one man, on six platforms: The good, the bad and the ugly" [0].

> The Ugly

> Linux accounts for less than 1% of the total players, so from a business perspective, it is not worth it. And the platform has the highest percentage of players who run into platform-specific issues - the time used for customer support only makes the economy worse. Also, I don’t own a Steam Deck, so adding support is not always easy: Valve does not provide a SteamOS image to test. So Steam Deck-specific code (like controller support, starting the game in full-screen, making the UI bigger, etc) is not tested end-to-end. I’ve used HoloISO with limited success.

> TL;DR: Even worse economy than Mac but less annoyance perhaps

No most real artists still enjoy having a job and the actual process of painting.

> Or if the superintelligence is starting to disrupt our economies or computer systems, why wouldn't we be able to detect that early and purge it?

If it is a superintelligence then there's a chance for a hard AI takeoff and we don't have a day to notice and purge it. We have no idea if a hard or soft takeoff will occur.
