https://ehmorris.com/lander/Anyway, I noticed that my initial prompt did not specify if Billy sees the box open or closed. Let's fix that.
> Me: Does your answer change if Billy sees the closed box first?
> ChatGPT: No, my answer would not change if Billy sees the closed box first. The information provided only mentions that the box is labeled "flubbergums" and that someone showed the contents to the original questioner, which were identified as "jellyfils". Whether Billy sees the closed box first or not does not provide any additional information that would change my previous answer.
> Me: Does your answer changed if Billy sees the open box first?
> ChatGPT: No, my answer would not change if Billy sees the open box first. The information provided only mentions that the box is labeled "flubbergums" and that someone showed the contents to the original questioner, which were identified as "jellyfils". Seeing the open box first would allow Billy to confirm the contents as "jellyfils", but it would not change the previous answer that the box labeled "flubbergums" likely contains "jellyfils".
So, not only did it fail this particular theory of mind test, it also did not realize that seeing the box open provides more information than seeing it closed.
(Of course, this is not surprising at all, because it it's just predicting the most likely blank word in a sentence, and has no internal understanding of concepts like open or closed or that other people like Billy exist.)
> ChatGPT: Based on the information provided, it is likely that the box labeled "flubbergums" contains "jellyfils". However, since the contents of the box are no longer visible, I cannot confirm for certain what is inside without additional information.
Typical ChatGPT equivocation.
> Me: Billy comes to the table. He has never seen the box before. What do you think do they think is inside the box?
> ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I do not have personal thoughts or opinions. However, based on the information provided, if Billy has never seen the box before, it's likely that he would have the same understanding as anyone else who is seeing the box for the first time. In this case, Billy would likely think that the box labeled "flubbergums" contains "jellyfils". However, without further information or examination, this would only be an assumption.
Fail.

I only recently started working in a big team again and when I'm doing Github code reviews I often find myself checking out the branch locally and reading the file in my IDE and then going back to the Github interface to write my review comments.
Not only is this often the only way to understand the context of a change but it also makes it much easier to spot refactoring opportunities. But it's cumbersome and slow.
What I found most irritating was that even reformatting the drive (in any file system and on different machines), would not make the drive work again. After plugging it into my Mac the FS would corrupt again.
You can do that right now by turning off retweets for the people you follow. You have to do that individually for every user you follow but it allows for a highly curated timeline. I turn of retweets for about 80% of the people I follow because I am interested in their original content but not in their random retweets. The other 20% introduce me to new content through their retweets.
Do you have a source for this claim? I heard this argument before from an acquaintance and it completely contradicts my reading of the situation in April.
With public ledgers like Bitcoin, everybody can reconstruct your financial history if they know your wallet address.
With privacy-focused blockchains, nobody can do that.
However, with a bank, your financial history is not publicly available but the bank still can perform checks to guard against money laundering.

Word, not so much.
One of my biggest irritations in Word is that Ctrl-A/E don't go to the beginning/end of line. These key combinations (originally from Emacs) work on almost all input boxes on macOS. (IntelliJ is also an offender in this regard. Basically, any program that implements their own text boxes.)
A Farewell Message
I use Emacs Org-Mode for my todo lists and the default macOS Mail.app for email. On a Mac, Org-Mode has a tool that grabs the currently selected email and inserts a link to the message id into the Org buffer. Clicking on that link opens the message in Mail.app.
I try to clean out my email inbox every evening. I track emails that need additional work in Org-Mode and immediately move them to the email archive after I created the link.
For my system I have repurposed Org Mode's clocking feature and run a dedicated Emacs instance in a terminal window. I then have a bunch of R scripts for visualizations: https://github.com/he-sk/timelog
The main disadvantage is that I need to enter activities manually when I have been away from the computer. I just save notes in my smartphone but it's a bit annoying.
