> The last week was funny and also tiring, I worked 14 hours per day on average. My normal average is 4/6 since early Redis times, but the first few months of Redis were like that.

Is he taking about 4/6 h of coding? If he meant total working time I’d say this is a very balanced lifestyle!

I install Karabiner [0] first thing on a new macOS.

It lets you map this key to fix this issue and allows many more mappings.

I wonder why there is no LLM that can decode this. Tried many times but it seems the models don’t pick up the nuances.

Adding a smiley improves performance according to Logan Kilpatrick, head of developer relations at OpenAI.

> There's a lot of really small silly things, like adding a smiley face, increases the performance of the model.

> You could imagine on the order of one or 2%, which for a few sentence answer might not even be a discernible difference. Again, if you're generating an entire saga of texts, the smiley face could actually make a material difference for you, but for something small and textual it might not.

He mentioned that in Lenny’s podcast at 24:37.
