petreradu··on Show HN: OwnTime – a chess clock for your day's priorities
I’ve been looking for ages for a good timekeeping/organizing app.

This looks really nice. Definitely giving it a try now. I will come back with feedback and suggestions

The paper certainly has its limitations. Only 61 participants, with almost nobody between 30 and 50, so we shouldn’t read the age trend as a decline across lifespan. What’s more interesting than the title suggests (and I find the title forcing the conclusion a bit) is that the attention measures were not linked to age or the brain patterns at all.

The issue I had with Fable 5 and will probably carry to Fable 5.1 is that I hit the safeguards too often.

If I am reading this right, Fable 5 was worse than Opus 5 in almost every category, while consuming twice the tokens? The things you learn every day...

I just spent 10 minutes on it like it was nothing. my first instinct was that it's too hard, but, I quickly got the hang of it. 2500 my high score. one suggestion: try to fix the scroll, sometimes, the whole screen just scrolls down and you cannot see the game window anymore, and you get killed in the process
