We sometimes write long and short versions of task instructions to see if it makes a difference. We've never seen it make a difference. People just go with the gist of what you are saying.

I'm surprised at how often movies of that period have aged poorly.

TIL France used to have decimal time, which divided the day into 10 decimal hours, each with 100 decimal minutes, each with 100 decimal seconds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal...

Has this sparked an anti-statin movement?

Can you think of a movie where the protagonist lives in a 5 over 1?

I like your comment here. Or maybe the candidate picks up to 6 papers and 6 are picked at random

I keep walking and take it in stride. Neighborhood dad, this is your plywood. You got to it first. There will be other wood. This is New York City. 3/3

But then as I get closer this other dad who had walked past it turned around to take a closer look. He's got his nose all up in the plywood. He's thinking about how he can get it home. 2/3

So I'm walking down the sidewalk near my apartment and I see this big stash of plywood being thrown out. I'm some distance away but I can tell it's beautiful stuff. Very straight, many plys. 1/3

I imagine a hacker could do a "lip reading attack" if they engineered the situation enough.

Is it me or does saying six-digit verification codes to yourself make them easier to remember for the five seconds you need them?

Kind of excited for improv theater to come back and satisfy an impending craving for non-AI-generated fiction

No one talks about how the global epidemiologist population went from 3 billion to 30,000 in the period from 2020 to 2026

We're interested in between developer fx. Similar to your hunch that you wouldn't know how to do something with AI unless you had experience doing it manually. Problem is that experienced devs are better at everything so it's confounded.

Dan Goldstein @dggoldst.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

We were thinking about having rookie and senior devs doing tasks with and wo AI. Could then check if prior experience doing things manually would help you work better with AI. The condition in which they do it unaided would allow us to establish the baseline quality of work achieved by both groups.

We've been working on an experiment to test a similar idea. In your opinion do you think this could be shown experimentally?
