>Relatedly, as this is a single-case study, without a control author, it remains possible that the decline in lexical diversity reflects natural ageing. But note that previous research [15] has found that healthy authors can maintain stable linguistic diversity into their late 80s, suggesting that the decline observed in Pratchett’s TTR is indicative of pathology rather than typical ageing.

IMO still all very inconclusive but an interesting avenue to explore.

Not sure about Apple, but on Android, individual carriers can set the number-to-bars thresholds. Two otherwise-identical signals could be represented as a different number of bars depending on your particular carrier: https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/signal-strength

And a certain vacuousness. TFA is over 16000 words and I'm not really sure there's a single core point.

Snark aside, I think it's laziness and the shotgun approach. The author writes some rough thoughts down, has an AI "polish" them and generate an image, and posts an article. Shares it on HN. Do it enough, especially on a slow Sunday morning, and you'll get some engagement despite the detractors like us in the comments. Eventually you've got some readers.

IMO the important thing to be mindful of is your creation-vs-consumption balance. We tend to overindex on consumption.

In this case, they posted a README full of nonsense diagrams, didn't fix the broken characters in their UX, and breezed over the complexity of the dependencies (ESP-CSI is very cool but requires specific hardware, with two ESP devices and external antennas). Feels sloppy.

In general, when I need "cheap and fast" I choose Gemini.

Mostly it's just bullets. If a bullet is critical I'll prepend it with !!!. If it's a task, I'll use * instead of - for the bullet marker (then move the task to my separate task tracker later - notes doc isn't good for long-term task management)

If I want to tag the note explicitly with a "tag", I'll add one in brackets - but honestly these aren't that helpful.

Ctrl-F will generally find what I need. Aside from that, what's mostly been helpful is the dates - I often remember roughly when I learned a bit of information, so if I can't find it with Ctrl-F, I'll scroll back to that "era" and look around.

Pay a lot of attention to yourself when you're looking for historical information: what do you search for? Are there key things you often look up over and over? If so, what search terms did you use when trying to find them? Add those explicitly to the entry, so next time you'll find it easier.
