Regarding the `timer` script, it appears to block the shell. A way to avoid this would be to spawn a subshell for the sleep command like this: `( sleep "$1" && notify ... ) &`

You can perhaps use `strftime` instead of `trim(system('date ..))`:

   inoremap <Leader>date <C-r>=strftime("%a %B %e, %Y %H:%M:%S %p")<CR>
   nnoremap <Leader>date :put=strftime("%a %B %e, %Y %H:%M:%S %p")<CR>

I am also not sure if an `<esc>` is really necessary at the end of your normal mode map.

In defence of emacs: if I were using emacs, I'd be doing that not because of Neal Stephenson's essay, but rather because of the long-established legacy of the development, and because of the community. I believe that the combination of these two factors is very likely protecting emacs from a sudden enshittification so typical for proprietary software. I'm in the vim church, but for exactly the same reasons.

Exactly. We can also win a tiny bit of the distance by assuming the Moon in the perigee, where the distance to the Moon is about 363000 km. I also assume that these distances are measured between the centers, so we can perhaps subtract twice the Earth radius (about 2*6400 km).

Looks neat! Is there a way to make it work with pandoc?

Here's a guide I found useful to set up zotero storage. In brief, it relies on zotfile to flatten the storage (keep all pdfs in one directory) and better bibtex.

I realized that it helped me to get rid of exactly the pain with fresh installs that you mention. I realized that the two plugins give me most of the functionality that I want.

Great work, helped me to calm down a bit!

There was a bit of jumpscare for me at the end though: when the circle jumps back to being a button again. May I suggest adding a slower deflation?

I'd assume adding noise is done once per song and is thus a bit computationally cheaper than trying to denoise each input.

There is quite an excitement about how someone has hacked the language model to output what was supposed to be a non-public set of rules apparently. How do people know if this is indeed the secret set of rules, not the list that the model was scripted to return in response to a request (perhaps, a bit elaborate) for the list of rules?

We don't know for sure - but we have seen this same situation play out many times for many other systems. It's far more likely that this attack worked than that this particulate team have solved a problem that has defeated basically everyone else. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35925239

Reminded me of the story about Feynman being challenged by an abacist to compute cubic root
