FWIW, if you enable /sandbox then it stops asking for permission for these kinds of commands.

I saw an app a while ago that uses the camera to just track the top of your head, and alerts you if it lowers too much. It's a simple solution that works great for slouching.

I think you missed the point. That section is asserting that people wrongly assume em dashes to be a distinguishing trait of LLM output, while in fact they are good tools for human writers (as the author demonstrates).

This is a good point, and I think it also applies when chasing after product/market fit.

"Channel" is a concrete redefinition of the vague term "market" that describes an actual group of people plus the means of reaching them. "Offer" is a redefinition of "product" that includes a strategy for communicating its value. These are pretty important distinctions, and I agree with the author that this framework holds a lot of value.

The question remains, how and when do you decide that your product just doesn't have enough value to anyone you might pitch it to? Obviously you start your venture believing that it has value, and at any point your next iteration might reveal the magic combination. Or it might never come. I think there is no good solution, and it is, as you say, an art.

For what it's worth, I was familiar with this technique before seeing this or other non-Japanese articles. It doesn't have much relevance for daily life now which can explain why very few people seem to have heard of it, but I would imagine that people who study tea ceremony for example would be more likely to know about it.

It's a 1/2 chance at the point where you're considering the switch.

If you start the game with the intention of switching, you have a 2/3 chance of being successful because the winning strategy is to miss the car on your first pick.

I think that "simple" rather than "minimal" is an important distinction that is sometimes overlooked. Sometimes adding something new will let you reduce a lot of friction.

For example, a paper journal or a plain text to-do list is very minimal, but I've found that having a dedicated to-do app is the best way for me to simplify my workflow.

* I can dump in new tasks with a quick keystroke as they come up and manage them later

* I can set a date for upcoming things and get automatic reminders

* I can make recurring tasks repeat automatically

* I can keep a backlog of completed tasks out of sight until I need to refer to something

Or, when my room is messy that usually means things are left out where I use them and are usually within reach. When I tidy up and put things away, I need to spend effort thinking about where something is, go get it, and put it away again when I'm done with it. Messy can be simpler than clean.

Yes there is a benefit to radical thinking and nonconformity, but "do it without hurting others" is a reasonable line to draw. Stallman was viewed as a toxic individual who caused harm, and this is what our society is trying to weed out.

I still believe, perhaps naively, that it's possible to maintain not-normal opinions without causing pain to the people around you. And this is something that everyone needs to do, whether you're in the majority or the minority.

Not a historian, but working together as a group and not letting the people around you down are values that are emphasized from childhood. Leaving work before the people around you makes it feel like you are the weakest link.

Also there is a lot of weight placed on seniority, so younger people have pressure to work harder to make up for what they lack in experience. While a little less common now, it used to be understood that you shouldn't leave work before your boss.

This felt off to me too. I really dislike articles that cherry-pick anonymous SNS posts to prove a point.

First, my TI-83 graphing calculator. I learned that I could write simple programs to take user input and do things like calculate the Pythagorean theorem. I eventually started writing text-based adventure games, and then simple graphical games by drawing pixels on the screen frame by frame.

Second, making a website using Flash. I had a great time drawing objects on a canvas, animating them using the timeline, and adding click-events to buttons. I ended up drawing a room where you could click on the computer to jump to a list of my favorite games, click on the journal to see something I wrote, etc.

Very nice. I especially like that it's contained within such a tight space but still gives you enough time to react and plan ahead.

15701 points on second try is pretty good right?
