This is the effect of AI on most intellectual disciplines, and it’s a real worry.

Only 30-40% of people encounter brain freeze?

Fabulous site.

Grubby.

Bought this in April 2005 for £11.95 and 58p per year is good value. Not sure I'll upgrade though.

The site runs like a dog.

They claimed them as advances, not breakthroughs.

In case it wasn't obvious - it wasn't obvious to me from the 43 mentions of it in the article - beads is a product by the same author. There was an HN post on it 8 months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46075616 (68 comments). I've not tried it.
