    because of work I got back into doing spaced repetition again, and I see so many narrow use cases even in domains that don't seem a likely fit at first

    I haven't fully fleshed this out yet, but I'm convinced that any discussion about technology—and interface design in particular—that doesn't begin with what makes us human (for better and worse) is fundamentally misguided and won't lead anywhere good

    Shell scripting might be the prime example here, with Bash being notoriously complicated and error prone. Another the insanely bad UX of most debuggers on Unix-like systems, and lastly the hostility of Stackoverflow (and derivatives) towards more novice members

    Which is to the say: the solution to these problems is, and already were, online communities in the broader sense

    People went to Reddit instead of parsing Google’s results way before the advent of LLMs. The difference is simply that 2) lost lots of its friction (now we can ask the LLM to parse through all these results). Where it get’s more interesting though is that 1) gains in importance in the process

    It's a bit hard to sketch out what I envision as the ideal without sounding absolutistic... the most important thing above all is consistency in the end. if a popular approach that is advocated for religiously makes you abandon the language all together you should screw it as soon as you can

    even though having more of everything in less time is en vogue these days, I think the value obtained by the absence of things is too easily dismissed. I want more of less

    Unironically, yes?! I keep saying this, but instead of outsourcing reasoning for complex tasks that we, as humans, are pretty good at, we should leverage the strengths of LLMs in making sense of vast amounts of unstructured input text, that is hard to come by algorithmically, wherever we can

    The long-form sounds more catchy, but I like that including “Tree” immediately unveils what’s beneath. Given that the abbreviation is mnemonic I suppose we’ll later call it just “STAR” anyway so removing it from the long-form doesn’t add much imo

    It’s interesting to see how western companies slowly seem to work towards a state that seems to be the norm already in other countries. Even for something as innocent as Apple Music age verification is necessary to listen to certain things in South Korea. But no one seems to beat an eye here

    How to you handle URL size restrictions? I wanted to try something conceptually similar (storing meta data directly in URLs) but decided against it because of the above
