Did you mean to reply to that parent?

I was part of the study actually. For me, I think a lot of the productivity gains were lost from starting to look at some distraction while waiting for the LLM and then being "afk" for a lot longer than the prompt took to wrong. However! I just discovered that Cursor has exactly the feature I wanted them to have: a bell that rings when your prompt is done. Probably that alone is worth 30% of the gains.

Other than that, the study started in February (?). The models have gotten a lot better in just the past few months such that even if the study was true for the average time it was run, I don't expect it to be true now or in another three months (unless the devs are really bad at using AI actually or something).

Subjectively, I spend less time now trying to wrangle a solution out of them and a lot more it works pretty quickly.

I agree it's a stark difference. The intention here was to match other sites with feeds out of a general sense that our mobile font is too small.

If you wanted to choose one font size across mobile, which would you go for?

Hmm, that's no good. Sorry for the slow reply, if you're willing I'd like to debug it with you (will DM).

Oh, very reasonable. I'll have a think about how to solve that. So I can understand what you're trying to do, why is it you want to refresh the page?

Oh, that's the audio player widget. Seems it is broken here! Thank you for the report.

Cheers for the feedback, I apologize for confusing and annoyingness.

What do you mean by "makes the URL bar useless"? What's the use you're hoping would still be there? (typing in a different address should still work

The point of the modals is they don't lose your place in the feed in a way that's hard technically to do with proper navigation, though it's possible we should just figure out how to do that.

And ah yeah, the "view all comments" isn't a link on right-click, but I can make it be so (the titles are already that). That's a good idea.

All comment threads are what I call a "linear-slice" (parent-child-child-child) with no branching. Conveying this relationship while breaking with the convention of the rest of the site (nesting) has proven tricky, but I'm reluctant to give up the horizontal space, and it looks cleaner. But two comments next to each other are just parent/child, and if there are ommitted comments, there's a bar saying "+N" that when clicked, will display them.

Something I will do is make it so the post-modal and comments-modal is one, and when you click to view a particular comment, you'll be shown it but the rest will also be there, which should hopefully help with orienting.

Thanks again for writing up those thoughts!

I'm curious for examples, feel free to DM if you don't want to draw further attention to them

I think that intellectual intimacy should include having similar mental capacities.

Seems right, for both reasons of understanding and trust.

A part of me wants to argue that these are intertwined

I think the default is they're intertwined but the interesting thing is they can come apart: for example, you develop feelings of connection and intimacy through shared experience, falsely assume you can trust (or shared values or whatever), but then it turns out the experiences shared never actually filtered for that.

This matches with the dual: mania. All plans, even terrible ones, seem like they'll succeed and this has flow through effects to elevated mood, hyperactivity, etc.

Whether or not this happens in all minds, the fact that people can alternate fairly rapidly between depression and mania with minimal trigger suggests there can be some kind of fragile "chemical balance" or something that's easily upset. It's possible that's just in mood disorders and more stable minds are just vulnerable to the "too many negative updates at once" thing without greater instability.
