The challenge: Ask an AI tool for evidence supporting what you already believe,
and it will find it. Confirmation bias now comes with a research engine.
You can add any address as a backup email address for a google account. And for some reason there are a number of people that just attached my email address, possibly by mistake.
I have a very early gmail address. A very common first name plus two letters. It is almost unusable by now. Invoices, subscriptions, important documents about some persons real estate dealings. They all end up in my inbox.
I have around 20 or 30 google accounts attached where i am the backup email address. Those people forget their passwords or stop using their accounts and i get email notifications about that. No confirmation from my side necessary.
I set up a new address that is less likely to end up with this problem. But migrating away from the old one is not easy…
They do show me “how satisfied are you with claude code today?” regularly, which can be seen as a hint. I did opt out of helping to improve claude after all.
It is my impression that topics like this one trend up more often today, then they used to a couple of years ago. I guess hacker news is changing over time.
I know it’s a technicality, but the wave is at the very beginning of the park. Not the middle. I can very much recommend walking at least until the lake, if you happen to be visiting Munich. That would be about 1 third of the park.
There is a huge difference between Mississippi and the UK:
78.6 years for males and 82.6 years for females in the UK in 2020 to 2022.
68.6 years for males and 75.2 years for females in Mississippi in 2020 and 67.7 years for makes and 74.3 years for females in Mississippi in 2021. Might go up a bit if you have 2022 numbers, but the difference is huge.
The imperative install is as many lines of code as the flake itself. That’s what’s bothering me. But a meta package would be a step in the right direction.
How do you do the initial setup? I'm concerned with anything that happens before activating the dev shell.
Right now I wrote a bash script to check for nix, direnv, git, gpg, etc. But it feels a bit clumsy, compared to the flake that contains the dev shell.
For my own system I set up home manager. But I don't want to make the use of home manager a requirement, as it can be quite opinionated. (e.g. setting up direnv will be done by generating a .zshrc, which can be limiting to some)
I actually have a Taula 2 and a Xone 92 at home. I prefer the Taula 2, due to the simplicity and the fact that it has an isolator. The Xone 92 has a four band IQ and a filter, which I like a lot, but I have the impression that all the bells and whistles take a toll on the quality. At least in a home listening setup.
