You don't know something is slow until you encounter a use case where the speed becomes noticeable. Then you see the slowness across the board. If you can notice that a command hasn't completed and you are able to fully process a thought about it, it's slow(er than your mind, ergo slow!).

Usually, a perceptive user/technical mind is able to tweak their usage of the tools around their limitations, but if you can find a tool that doesn't have those limitations, it feels far more superior.

The only place where ripgrep hasn't seeped into my workflow for example, is after the pipe and that's just out of (bad?) habit. So much so, sometimes I'll do this foolishly rg "<term>" | grep <second filter>; then proceed to do a metaphoric facepalm on my mind. Let's see if jg can make me go jg <term> | jq <transformation> :)


Well grep is just better sometimes. Like you want to copy some lines and grep at the end of a pipeline is just easier than rg -N to suppress line numbers. Whatever works, no need to facepalm.

I was personally hoping the The JV would be spared Honda's strategy shift, but apparently not.

Spot on! I hate being sucked into an "accountability sink", where delay/bad treatment/ tangential answers are ok (somehow acceptable) and justified because it's not personal, "it's just the process".

I was considering trains for a Berlin-Frankfurt trip, and after looking at the performance of the preferred train, I'm not sure I want to still go that way: 25% cancellations :/


If your train is cancelled, you can take the next train or a different train, without buying a new ticket. The app will tell you this.


So 3h of sitting on the floor because there's no seat after a canceled one?

I mean yes, better than no transport, but it's ridiculous. And if you have an appointment in the morning, 2h of delay are a deal breaker.


You surely haven't read the whole of it. There's more!

> Sinderella She has to leave the ball by midnight — but her last train was cancelled. Now she roams the platform in glass slippers, waiting for a replacement bus.


Hahaha, I missed that. Amazing! Great copy writing right there.


This is an underrated observation. The companies built surveillance as a competitive advantage. The "system" rewards bolstering this advantage.


Distributing surveillance id the data of your usage is extremely difference from understanding how your app is being used.


So, now it's mis-anthropic?


I was actually wondering why haven't the computational geometry and shape optimization people found these structures so far. I would expect us to at least know these shapes or category of shapes.

Getting it via origami is art and a testimony to wonders of intuition and observational learning, but getting the shapes could be done by other methods.


Well, claude at least was successful in getting me to pay. It became utterly annoying that I would hit the limit just with a couple of follow ups to my long running discussion and made me wait for a few hours.

So it worked, but I didn't happily pay. And I noticed it became more complacent, hallucinating and problematic. I might consider trying out ChatGPTs newer models again. Coding and technical projects didn't feel like its stronghold. Maybe things have changed.


I find the atrophy and zoning out or context switching problematic, because it takes a few seconds/ minutes in "thinking" and then BAM! I have 500 lines of all sorts of buggy and problematic code to review and get a sycophantic, not-enough-mature entity to correct.

At some point, I find myself needing to disconnect out of overwhelm and frustration. Faster responses isn't necessarily better. I want more observability in the development process so that I can be a party to it. I really have felt that I need to orchestrate multiple agents working in tandem, playing sort of a bad-cop, good-cop and a maybe a third trying to moderate that discussion and get a fourth to effectively incorporate a human in the mix. But that's too much to integrate in my day job.
