On: Maybe the default settings are too high

When I was meditating regularly I found this easier to do. I had the presence of mind to notice I was rushing and slow down and focus on the details. I need to start meditating again.

On: RAG accuracy jumped from 10% to 60% when I added outcome scoring

[udfalkso]

It’s not pushy at all imo

Same thing happens every time a new hire joins the team. Lots of documentation is stale and needs updating as they onboard.

[filoeleven → udfalkso]

But that documentation shouldn’t need to be updated nearly every other day.

OpenAI Clip python library fails because the model download is a hardcoded azure cdn url :(

100% this. There is a wonderful book called The Dorito Effect that goes into this in more detail.

On: Ask HN: What brought back the joy of programming for you?

[udfalkso]

Learning Elixir and Phoenix and getting the hang of functional programming. What a pleasure.

On: Ask HN: Doom and Gloom but financial markets doing well?

I’m currently reading Broken Money by Lyn Alden and it has given me a much improved perspective about why things like this are the way they are as a consequence of history and monetary policy. Very interesting.

On: Ask HN: What browser are you using?

[udfalkso]

I tried Arc a few months back and quickly decided to give it a go as a primary browser. It’s quite nice.

Could you tell me what feature kept you there? I've been trying it on the side, but it seems to be bulkier than basically anything else I've tried.

[udfalkso → syncbehind]

Spaces I suppose. Very easy, clean work/personal separation. That and the bookmark/tab conflation thing they're doing is actually kind of nice once you get used to it. Oh, and sync'ing cross device is nice as well.

I don't use any of the easel or boost stuff. I'd prefer if they stop working such silly things and focus on bringing their mobile app up to par but seems like they'll get there.

Clicking this link changed my Amazon app location to UK and I can’t figure out how to change it back! Thx for the recc though.
