This was inspiring, what a cool idea. Just curious—-for 4o mini isn’t there a json mode that reliably produces structured output? Was that what you were referring to / ended up using?
Strategically increasing the amount of light I'm exposed to was a game changer.
Turns out we're bad at gauging how much light is in our environment. Few would suspect that the amount of lux we're exposed to indoors is often far less than 1% of the lux outside. A typical corporate office has under 500 lux, vs 50k+ midday-if you're at home and haven't put much thought into the lighting situation, the lux could be in the low double digits. You can get a free app "Lux meter" to measure yours now.
We evolved to be outside a lot, and light regulates aspects of our biology. We probably shouldn't stay two orders of magnitude beneath the factory recommended exposure levels for months at a time. Hence clinical or sub-clinical SAD,sleep and mood disturbances etc [see references].
I've had several ~250w LEDs over the years (these are huge and actually draw 250w, they aren't 250w equivalent). 250w might be overkill, and 80w is fine for me and a lot more practical. If you get one , be warned that depending on the wattage you'll probably have to build your own stand for it as most fixtures aren't rated for that high wattage.
Related to light amount is of course light timing. This may be more important than getting a steadily high amount of lux during the day. Get lots of light in the morning, and not a lot at night (just low intensity bulbs, maybe just red ones, starting 1-2h after sunset is nice). That helped my sleep a ton. Check out Huberman LAb, he talks about light amount and timing ad nauseam.
Not really. You can still get metrics and analytics, you just don't include PII in it. There are tons of privacy-respecting platforms/services (both self-hosted and not) you can use, instead of just slapping Google Analytics on the website and having to show the banner.
But even so, I'd argue that since it's a small business, you'd do much better with qualitative data rather than quantitative, since it's a small business it's hard to make choices based on small amount of data. Instead, conduct user experience studies with real people, and you'll get a ton of valuable data.
It is insane in today's world! But big mileage (barefoot, no less) is something we evolved for. Check out the great book Born to Run by Chris Macdougal which explores that concept.
Yes, that's explored in the sequel. He lives on in Urique, Mexico where his likeness is plastered everywhere and is the namesake for the big annual race in that town.
Rather than discuss the current “quality of code produced” it seems more useful to talk about what level of abstraction it’s competent at (line, function, feature), and whether there are any ceilings there. Of course the effective level of abstraction depends on the domain but you get the idea, it can generate good code at some level if promoted sufficiently well.
Hey Komod, good callouts. It could be improved, I'll clarify these points on the site.
- We cannot see your YouTube activity => ie what you watch, search for, like, subscribe to. This is clearly explained beneath the TLDR section. What we CAN see is also explained.
- Your chats are only visible to you => as in, they aren't public. That could be clarified. We do state before that that we save your chats.
- We don't mention them by name, but the second line of the TLDR is "• We track Extension usage statistics to improve the product." Have added an explanation for each of them.
Appreciate your help with this. What did you think otherwise?
It's only streaming right now and each streamed version is unique, riffing off of Eno's "generative" music.
