I could see that being the case, but I just don't know enough about the field to know if purely computational/theoretical work is common.

Ben 🩷💜💙 @benzy.me · 24/09/2026
I'm a biomedical engineer, so kind of adjacent, but the initial thing for me is that there's no experimental data in the paper. Is that common in bioinformatics research? Because while maybe interesting, I don't think it actually means much without any real data to back up that this is meaningful.

I am still wondering if anybody foresaw "AI will act a certain way because it's been trained on a bunch of sci-fi stories where AI acts a certain way". (Not that it is what happened here, but it does seem along those lines.) Seems like a good sci-fi story, but too late to seem prescient now.

Next time Dems hold a trifecta they should ban these shares that allow for disproportionate control by these Zuck and Elon types (at a bare minimum and among other harsher penalties). If anything because it’d be funny to see them lose absolute control over their companies.

Thank you. Any time I’ve tried to search YouTube for any useful info on using LLMs it is at worst (and most often) just some AI slop written bullshit. At best, it is still not particularly useful info.

Been a paying member since 2021. Now trying bitwarden.

Elsewhere in this thread people are vouching for BitWarden, might be worth checking out too. See the replies to my comment here. bsky.app/profile/benz...

Ben 🩷💜💙 @benzy.me · 02/09/2026
Thanks, that looks like a great choice and seems to have feature parity with 1Pass, for my needs at least.

Ben 🩷💜💙 @benzy.me · 02/09/2026
Yeah, I'd really rather not have to wade through the muck that is my Apple Notes app to pull up an important doc I need instantly. Leaning towards Bitwarden but also gonna give Proton a look (though I know they have their own political problems, albeit not as bad as what 1Pass is doing).

Most password managers make it easy to switch into or out of their systems. Usually you just download a .csv or similar file with the passwords in plain text and upload it to the new password manager (then delete the .csv of course). In this specific case it is that easy. 9to5mac.com/2026/02/25/h...

Here's how to switch from 1Password to Apple Passwords - 9to5Mac
A password manager used to be one of the most important third-party apps anyone could have. It was the thing...

Ben 🩷💜💙 @benzy.me · 02/09/2026
Does Apple Passwords support things other than passwords? I really like the secure notes (bank info, important docs, car VIN, etc.) features of 1Pass and I would want this feature in whatever I switch to.

Do you know of any decent alternative harnesses that work with a subscription with similar models to Opus/Sonnet? I do like the subscription model rather than having to track my API usage.

Needless to say, there is no such software that could do what I needed here. I'm very much not a programmer, I have some experience with Python and MATLAB and have written scripts that have saved time in the past. But nothing close to a tool with a UI this hyperspecific and time-saving.

I made a very similar app with CC. I have spreadsheets with collected data over the duration of the video and now I can scrub through the video and the data at the same time, snapshot both at once, etc. It has saved me dozens of hours at work this year. I was a big AI skeptic before this.

Huh that's really neat. Thanks! I didn't even know that Python had a CAD library. Says it can export into Solidworks, I wonder how well that works since that's the software I use (via work license). I'll have to play around with this!
