Couldn't you distinguish things by their grayscale value? Then you change the hue on top of that for people who can see color.

May not always be enough contrast to pass WCAG requirements, for example.

On my phone I was able to just touch-and-hold on the screen to move the camera. I assume on a PC you can just use the mouse to control the camera.


Then why not just ask the LLM to explain what LSP stands for?


It's not just habits. It changes the composition of your gut microbiome, hormones, etc. All of that can make changing your diet much harder than one might think.


This sounded weird to me at first until I realized that this exactly what I do when watching a movie with subtitles.


Yes, it feels very similar. Except speeding up a movie seems absolutely insane to me, whereas with a book it just feels like matching my mental ingestion rate.


I kinda feel like using memorization techniques for things that require deeper understanding probably isn't the most efficient way to learn.

IMO you want to be actively trying to map the new concepts to things you already understand, and constantly working to update your mental model.

It's not an either-or.

Where SRS comes in handy is when you have to take long breaks between your study sessions (due to job + family). Have you ever tried learning an advanced math topic where you get to work on it for a few days, then may have to stop for a few weeks (or even months), then resume, and repeat over and over?

Chances are, no matter how intense you study during those few days, you'll likely forget important definitions/theorems in the periods you don't.

SRS takes care of those gaps.

Case in point - many years ago I put a lot of my intro to statistics course in flashcards and actively reviewed them. I hadn't done actual statistics for over a year, and then made a (false) claim here on HN. Someone gave me a counterexample using the chi-squared distribution. And it was amazing that I could recall the basic properties of the chi-squared distribution, and enough other theorems to verify what he said without consulting any book.

I've never used the chi-squared distribution for anything before or after.

(Sadly, I stopped using those cards years ago so I've forgotten the material!)


I think of it like drills in a sport. If your practice is 100% drills, you'll be pretty bad. But drills give you an awesome foundation to do the really complex stuff intuitively.


Familiarity through repetition is 95% of learning any subject. Mathematics isn't special.


So your solution is to just read through all 1M+ lines of code?


And yours is to read through all 37000 commit messages??

don't be obtuse. Nobody needs to do either.


This was already addressed:

> But with LLMs generating 7101 commits in less than a month that isn't feasible.

I don't think trying to understand LLM generated code is feasible for anything other than very small projects. IMO it's a big problem with using LLMs for coding. Sure, they can generate a bunch of stuff, but in some ways that just makes the real problems of software development even harder.


What about just not installing sketchy extensions?


I know right? Postgres is not firefox, we don't operate with 25 extensions on all the time. At most we have 1 and normally we have 0.


> You could add lisp to mspaint and mspaint suddenly becomes awesome somehow?

TBH that does sound pretty awesome, assuming good primitive operations were exposed through the Lisp API.


It would become AutoCAD. That is pretty awesome.


Yeah, I don't know who thought that website was a good idea.
