Not to shill but if you're struggling with apps on your (i)phone, I can't recommend https://www.foqos.app/ enough. My weekly screentime (as measured by my iphone, not true screen time) is <1hr. NFC tag is optional you can literally buy a candy bar and tape the barcode to an index card and that will work. The physical layer is massive. Now my problem is just limited to desktop which is easier to control.

+1 on physical layer being the game changer. I've been using getbrick.com with amazing results.

talysman.app does the same thing as Brick but for desktop. So you can code/etc with a physical layer of protection

Definitely a game changer, maybe even more than Brick because the desktop is where I do all my work

This resonated with me. "Developing ideas and artifacts using AI breaks our normal intuitions along many meaningful axes and we've yet to update" is a really clean idea.

This guy's lab does some really cool stuff using really basic ideas:

Thanks! I'm putting "doing cool stuff with really basic ideas" in my bio... :)

Although admittedly identifying "fake" cosmetics isn't that hard. Take any cosmetic and say "it's cold creme, with minor traces of nonfunctional additives" and you've covered 99.9% of what's out there.

Also, given that for example L'Oreal / Lancome and Maybelline cold creme are the same thing, is L'Oreal fake Mabelline or Mabelline fake L'Oreal?

As someone born after the year 2000 this stuff is like looking at both a future that never was, and a past that couldn't have been.

Home offices haven't changed that much, have they?

If I'm not mistaken this blog is from a person I had the pleasure of working with in undergrad for a course project. They were brilliant then and are still now.

If I remember correctly you carried that project!

I wish your mother the best <3

Thank you <3

Tangentially related, I love this website: https://vanya.jp.net/vtree/. My first interpreter had a flag -j that output the AST as JSON so that I could see it on this site.
