How do you re-enable that feature?

Thanks for transparency here. Claude code if fun to use again! The thinking is huge when working with Claude as planner.

Any sites that give nice barebones explanation of the results? I imagine filling more of the blanks myself instead of AI is part of the exercise, but a nice starting point can help.

Maybe a scheduled get togethers of a retirement home group with a that student org either at the home or the university could work. That way it's easier to have a person trained to chaperone, a more controlled environment, and reduced general overhead for planning.

Ollama's implementation for gpt-oss is poor.

Initially, security. Then maybe a realization that you don't need all of your wealth to be secure.

Fair enough. The majority of it does seem useful.

From what it logged about you, it does seem you're working on some cool stuff too!

Thanks for posting this! I haven't used ChatGPT much due to worries of something like this possibly existing.

Curious if this make you less or more likely to use OpenAI products in the future?

Such fond memories with this song.

Check out the Heavy Breathing Liquid DnB mix by Dieselboy. It's one of my staples for coding and chilling out in general.

You do have me intrigued, what are you general arguments against CICO?

The mechanism from article really does suck, but what does that have to do with CICO? While white adipose cells are created, it's still excess calories that fills those cells.

Mostly use obsidian, but the file and folder hierarchy with outlines feels memory palace like and on top of that the linkage and tag graphs. There is structure beyond a note floating by itself.

By refute I mean the paper cited. The meta-analysis methodology used in the Ferguson paper is flawed, one of After Babel's contributors goes into more detail here, https://shoresofacademia.substack.com/p/perils-of-flawed-met....

Jonathan Haidt, who's been driving a lot of the work against social media for kids, directly refutes these findings in this post https://www.afterbabel.com/p/fundamental-flaws-part-3.
