I wonder if using the character itself in the directions, instead of the name for the character, might help with this.

Something like, "Forbidden character list: [—, –]" or "Do NOT use the characters '—' or '–' in any of your output"


I could imagine a vision-enabled transformer model being useful to create a customizable “reading mode”, that adjusts page layout based on things like user prefs, monitor/window size, ad recognition, visual detail of images, information density of the text, etc.

Maybe in an alternate universe where every user-agent enabled browser had this type of thing enabled by default, most companies would skip site design all together and just publish raw ad copy, info, and images.


Triple shift pops up a red "Access Denied" message in the middle of the screen. Alt just shifts focus to the browser's toolbar, at least in Chrome.


Alt alt alt should show a big green Access Granted :)


It just opens/closes the file/edit/view menu.


If you press it enough times, eventually three alt keys will get through to the page and it will pop up. I think it could could prevent the menu appearing by using preventDefault() on the keydown event.


How about a logo-inspired python-based library for making embroidery files to brighten your day? https://github.com/TurtleThread/TurtleThread

Which hardware can "stitch" (I don't know the print equivalent) this? This looks interesting!


Most digitally controlled sewing/embroidery machines have some form of embroidery CNC-like file that they can accept, and as far as I am aware it’s easy to convert to other formats for different machines. I picked up an entry-level Brother (same as the printer company!) machine for a friend recently who wanted to start trying some digital design stuff with it. Was my first exposure to that world!

See eg for a list of the common file formats, mostly associated with specific hardware manufacturers I believe.

Depending on the client device, you can often put it into pairing mode immediately upon turning it on to prevent auto-connect, then click connect from the desired host device. Still annoying but slightly less so than having to disable bluetooth on every other nearby host.


Regular cannabis/THC use is pretty famous for reducing REM sleep and dreaming.


I don't consume often, haven't in years, but I remember having pretty wild dreams after, so I wouldn't get a good rest. So there is a difference with regular documentation?


I have been in a car accident that, in the instant of impact, felt indistinguishable from an explosion, too fast to process anything. I imagine the massive pressure change would cause near-instant incapacitation if not death.


On my macbook with vscode on the left and chrome on the right. When I click on this link with the right side of my screen covered up, I can visibly see vscode on the left get a couple of shades darker (animated over a second or so). So it looks like it's not only a question of hidden max brightness, it looks like the device adjusts the whole screen to enhance contrast for the HDR content as part of the strategy.


The relevant tvtropes.org page seems to be "Bottled Heroic Resolve": https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BottledHeroicRes...


Strictly work related ones probably still would, but maybe at a reduced rate.

What if there was the promise of a friendly AI used to filter out all non-work related discussions?

Then a chatGPT model fine tuned based on previous team discussions, that automatically replies in the team chat any time it has some especially high confidence that it's generated a good answer to a new question.

On my team, there is a lot of "tribal knowledge" that is known to part of the team, and buried in Microsoft Team's chat history somewhere, but having to use Team's search for anything is always the last resort. Maybe add a process where you have to wait for a team member to "like" the AI generated post before the person who posed the question uses the AI answer.
