I think this boils the problem down solely to the individual. What if companies realised this issue and made a period of time during the day devoted solely to learning, knowledge management and innovation. If their developers only use AI to be more productive, then the potential degradation of intellect could stifle innovation and make the company less competitive in the market. It would be interesting if we start seeing a resurgence of Google's mythical 10% rule with companies more inclined to let any employee create side projects using AI (like Cursor) that could benefit the company.
The problem is motivation. I’ve worked at companies that use policies like this, but you often only see a handful of def motivated folks really make use of it.
Should there be a better way of reporting and displaying bugs?
For displaying the bugs, I'm thinking of something like what invision was - showing the interface of for example the desktop and showing the number of bugs associated with different elements of the desktop.
By displaying bugs as posts on a forum, I feel that we lose track of how degraded the performance of the system actually is.
I would imagine that having a camera videoing your preparation of ingredients and cooking would give enough data to classify the ingredients and the used volumes. From the video it should be easier to track the weight of everything... and perhaps depending on how the ingredients are used, determine/predict how the macronutrients are altered during the process.
If the definition of the meter is still wrong disallowing π² = g, how might this affect other calculations like for example thrust and in aerospace engineering?
You could consider doing a mini hackathon with the kids whereby the aim is to create a board game of some kind. Have the kids design the game on paper or card,then at the end use your cnc mill to create the boards, tiles, player pieces etc. You could then use the world cafe (https://toolbox.hyperisland.com/world-cafe) facilitation method for all the teams to explain their games to each other and recommend improvements. You could even show them how to use chatgpt to take their game ideas and flesh them out at a later stage (tutorial, rules etc.)
This idea would allow them to create something fun which is their own, that they can keep in the classroom and play with. It may also make them think of what other games they can create in the future.
Could devices to trigger other senses work?
Like an aromatic diffuser on a timer switch that pumps out a scent, or a SAD lamp that simulates sunlight. A vibration device for the bed
Waking up is solved for me now - I'm married, my wife is an early bird (and our kids are the worms, they get up even earlier, or am I getting that adage wrong?), and she makes sure I get up (and stay up).
Right now, the bedtime is a problem - revenge bedtime procrastination + everyone getting used to me doing extra work overnight during some more busy times (I work remotely, so sometimes I handle kid emergencies during the day) + various other issues --> even if I had an "insta-sleep" pill, I'd have hard time getting myself to take it before 02:00.
A SAD lamp is something I'd like to try in general, maybe it'll improve my overall mood or something. I seem to function best in either near-complete darkness (i.e. only light being the screen, indicator LEDs and some street lamps in the distance outside), or very bright environments. The average brightness people I know keep at home makes me instantly sleepy, and I spend most of my cognitive resources on forcing myself to stay awake.
This is my solution. I try to get a 90 minute nap whenever I can, but 30 and caffeine can help too. These two numbers are important so that you don’t wake up in a REM cycle.
Antimatter also has anti-color-charge. Quarks have a ‘color charge’ (unrelated to visible colors) which is ‘red’, ‘green’, or ‘blue’. An antiquark is antired, antigreen, or antiblue (and has the opposite electrical charge from its corresponding normal quark).
That would require a re-formulation of conservation of color charge. You could probably come up with an alternative formulation where everything is consistent, but all of the formulas would almost certainly be more complicated. The most obvious way would end up replacing color by the sign of mass times color everywhere, but then you've just renamed ant-red, anti-blue, and anti-green, with no obvious benefit.
Instead of starting a new chat, why not change the prompt higher up in the conversation with the relevant detail that you have gained through the responses?
I think that would work and be better in some cases. The thing is you want to change things up, lose some context. I may not be able to go far enough back without losing progress to do that. But I could copy just the current state of the task (last response) to a new chat.
Against: Nothing really, I guess the baby might not drink it (in theory they’re expecting warm breast milk). It’s not recommended to use straight tap water here, only filtered, due to bacteria which is harmless to older children/adults but could be a problem for a newborn.

I’m very currious about the filter you mention. How do you filter bacteria out in a household setting? How do you keep the filter itself clean and how do you QA your solution?
I find it likely that any filtering done by average people is more likely to add bacteria than to remove it. But maybe there is some magical method I don’t know about yet.
I read the linked NHS document multiple times and I can't see any reference to filtered water. They only talk about boiling the water. Where are you seeing that they recommend filtering?
Because of two reasons together: charcoal filters don’t remove bacteria[1][2], that is the reason why I don’t expect it to reduce bacterial count. And then any user error (less than pristine pitcher, filter not replaced at the recomended interval) would increase the count.
But there is also a different reasoning. A more philosophical, heuristic based one: The water where I live is treated by professionals with professional grade equipment. They also take regular samples and try to grow the bacteria to be able to tell if they are doing their job right or not. And the quality, at least where I live, is generally good. To improve something from good to excelent you often need to put in as much work as it was already put in to move it from mediocre to good. It is possible of course, but I would expect the process to be either energy intensive, or fiddly, or resource intensive, or require even more specialised equipment. Most likely all four at once. A simple, easy to use, and convenient filter doesn’t pass my sniff test. Like if it is that easy why wouldn’t the pros just do it at the water treatment facility?
Now of course this is just a heuristic, it can go wrong many different ways. And I admit I can be wrong of course. This is very far from my expertise. But this is how I was thinking about the question.
