Readit NewsI think this approach is particularly good for docs where the assumption is the audience wants to understand why you reached the conclusions you came to, and the doc is sort of a persuasive argument. I think this is a valuable doc (and how I like writing and reading), but it is not always the case.
I think often you do want to start with the conclusion, the "end" so to speak, to orient the reader. And also to address the reader who trusts your judgement, and just wants to get up to speed. I've seen a lot of cases where the audience might not be ready/want to follow along w/ a train of reasoning, they want to know the punchline. And once they do, then they might want to follow up.
Step 1. Brain dump into a doc (consider using dictation to get more thoughts down faster)
Step 2. Have an LLM give it structure & progression. You are ordering your thoughts for readability, so you'll probably want to throw it away. You're still refining your thoughts at this stage.
Step 3. Take the LLM output as a starting point, or write an outline from scratch. Flesh it out into a first draft
Step 4. simplify: cut words, swap big words for small words, etc.
Step 5. Repeat step 4.
LLMs bridge the gap from word-vomit to structure. You should be willing to throw away what you get from the LLM.
At least 30% can always be cut. It's amazing how much can be trimmed without losing the intent.
I think the same thing about a lot of code, too. Sometimes you really are just hammering out boilerplate. But a lot of times even writing test code is a great opportunity to realize the main code could be improved. But the LLM probably won't tell you that.
That's the point. They had sustainable and clean technology. It was a sweet spot.
> Roman-era mining activities increased atmospheric lead concentrations by at least a factor of 10, polluting air over Europe more heavily and for longer than previously thought, according to a new analysis of ice cores taken from glaciers on France's Mont Blanc.
A lot less than modern technology manages, but a lot more than nothing. And that with a much smaller population.

Then I can picture a great way, locally, to screw these knock off big times.
Either the site is a great knock off, visually similar (if not identical) or it won't fool people, right?
So what about this: what about the browser saving, locally, screenshots of the login pages you visit.
Then, when a new login is made, compare, visually, the page to what's saved and see if any saved pages are similar?
"Oops, the page www.banklng.com looks nearly identical to www.banking.com which you visited previously, they're probably trying to scam you!".
Do you also wonder how we'll get rid of used coal power plants, massive piles of toxic fly ash, and tons of pollutants from natural gas plants? Because so far the answer is not good.
I'd rephrase what you wrote with our current technical limitations make it more feasible to detect life by finding something that would make astrobiologists say woah, how can that possibly happen?
I believe you're talking about Earth, and the person you're responding to was talking about Mars. At least I don't think Mars had an oxygenation event or fossils?
She pointed out it was on a sign on the counter that I was looking at that moment, and had also been there when I dropped the car off the day before.
Generalized social media is looking more and more like a mistake. There were previously forums, and they were centered around a topic. Then Reddit and Facebook came around and killed those by making it easy to create and find those communities. Now they're coming back. I want a local equivalent to Reddit, without the rest of Reddit. Beyond that, I don't need more social media that has no link to my IRL activities.
Also, the comparison to MySpace isn't fair. Tom was far cooler than spez ever will be.
<lereddit>We did it, HN! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Take my updoot, kind stranger!</lereddit>
In my mind (and many other people), “Trust and Safety” is a synonym for censorship.
We live in a time where censorship is becoming a huge risk to freedom. A free society needs to be able to debate, and anyone or anything that decides that it has the wisdom to set limits about what people can discuss, is a threat to freedom.
I had hope that BlueSky was choosing a different path but now I guess not.
