> You still have to do the work

Spaced repetition is doing the work.


The "work" is actively trying to recall the information on the card. Spaced repetition is just a more efficient way of doing this than (for example) cycling through every single card, every single day.

...and more efficient than reading long-form text or course material

Indeed, I was under the impression that Clojurescript was self-hosted (no Java dep) some time ago. Was this reversed?

Also, it's easy to say in retrospect leaning on the benevolence of Google would a bad idea. But the Clojure community are smart people, and I trust Closure was the least bad solution available at the time.


It's optionally self-hosted, without support for Closure's full suite of optimizations (https://clojurescript.org/guides/self-hosting).

For me the flash model is way better than the pro model. I don't want to wait all the extra time to get some code back that I'm going to have to read and modify anyway. I much prefer getting a 92.5% right answer now, than 95% correct answer a minute or minutes from now.

Are those percentages real, or plucked out of the air? I find Pro's quality starkly higher

estimates my from uses. no api, just AI studio. < 100 prompts.

another metaphor I feel is apt. Flash is like a REPL, Pro is like a compiler.

The stock is up 50% from its April lows. They have no real incentive to execute.

> The phishing site can forward the password and TOTP you type into the real system, gaining your access.

To me this seems harder to pull off than a fraudulent password reset (either via social engineering, or a hacked email account). My TOTP fell in the drink a few years back, and some accounts very hard to reset and others were too easy.


If you're targeting a particular person, social engineering is probably easier. If you just want to illicitly harvest some accounts, and aren't too worried about which ones, blasting out emails linking to hacked websites that fake the login & TOTP flow is very easy.

ZIRP is gone for sure, but most of the $7T the Fed printed during COVID and the $3.5T the Fed printed post-GFC remains (net +8T). For this reason, I believe the era of VC-driven nonsense is far from over. A simple example is that stonks have recovered all of almost of all the post Liberation Day losses. This excess cash / Helicopter Money for the investor class has to go somewhere.

But as the graph shows, QT is well underway and it would take approx 5yr to suck the cash back in, no? It will be gradual, but we should see that risk is starting to become expensive again.

They keep slowing down the rate of QT so who know when they'll get back to pre-GFC levels (if ever). Until then, the do nothing investor class will rule the roost, and calls to action such as "It's Time to Build" will go unheeded.

it is amazing we used to prize determinism, but now it's like determinism is slowing me down. I mean how do you even write test cases for LLM agents. Do you have another LLM judge the results as close enough, or not close enough?

Yes, and you have to do it in a loop on every request. Not joking. It’s called “LLM as judge.”

What an amazing business to convince people to use. Making people pay to use LLMs to supervise the LLMs they pay for in order to get decent results is diabolically genius.

At the risk of offending some folks it feels like the genius of the Mormon church making its "customers" pay the church AND work for it for free AND market it for free in person AND shame anyone who wants to leave. Why have cost centers if you don't have to!

It's a business model I wasn't smart or audacious enough to even come up with.


It's a bit like paying more for AWS logging services than for the AWS services that provide the services your customers actually consume.

It's the least bad search--better than Yahoo, and Thunderbird desktop in my direct experience. However, I don't download the full message into Thunderbird out of fear of blasting through gmail bandwidth limits.

I’ve searched for a fairly rare word pair in the subject line of an email I want and gotten 20 irrelevant results. The only way to find it was by filtering senders and dates.

F fusion! Alchemy is real. We're rich!

You're right, but actually running the code can be destructive (even when run as intended). You really need to be careful about dev environments. Even the destructive operations will cost you time (and money) in resetting the dev environment.

Agreed and I think this highlights the importance of interactivity/snappiness as well as idempotency. This is needed for a human to play around with also.

If the agent has fast+safe feeback loop to experiment then it can go through more cycles, faster, and improve its output.
