mas is awesome.

I've been living under a rock. 10 years.

Just discovered litecli (<https://github.com/dbcli/litecli>), it feels like a big improvement over the default SQLite REPL (autocompletion! support for multiline queries! syntax highlighting!)

“When the AI provided an incorrect result, researchers found inexperienced and moderately experienced radiologists dropped their cancer-detecting accuracy from around 80% to about 22%. Very experienced radiologists’ accuracy dropped from nearly 80% to 45%.”

There are many things [@antirez](https://mastodon.social/@antirez) did successfully: hping, redis, business stuff, writing.
But personally, I'll be eternally grateful for sharing a recipe for [#biancomangiare](https://mastodon.social/tags/biancomangiare) / [#blancmange](https://mastodon.social/tags/blancmange), insanely easy and tasty treat.

I have always loved [#neovim](https://dotnet.social/tags/neovim)'s github commit style, but assumed it was just a project-style-guide thing. Now a realise that is has been standardized:

This is a sample in the wild:

When I think about what has happened with camera technology over the past quarter-century, I can't get my head around how it's possible to shoot a chestnut-backed chickadee at twilight at 1/100th second with a handheld 800mm lens.

For once this bushtit held still long enough for me to squeeze off a couple of frames.

Trying out the new Gemini 1.5 Pro model <https://developers.googleblog.com/2024/04/gemini-15-pro-in-public-preview-with-new-features.html>

Can run it online in Google AI Studio, but very easy to use it on the command line on a linux server with python modules llm & llm-gemini by [@simon](https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon) after getting the free API key in AI Studio. Took me 5 minutes to set up.

Outline of SQL tutorial has hit the "100 queries" goal <https://gvwilson.github.io/sql-tutorial/> still have at least six diagrams to draw, and would like appendices showing how to use DuckDB to do the same things (easy) and how to use permissions etc. in PostgreSQL (hard because setup and re-run). Help always welcome: please see <https://gvwilson.github.io/sql-tutorial/contributing/> for the contributors' guide.

Finally taking the time to set up Safari Profiles properly and bind certain websites like YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook to open in an ‘Undesirables' profile that I don't use for anything else. This feels like a better setup. [#Apple](https://toot.cafe/tags/Apple) [#Safari](https://toot.cafe/tags/Safari) [#privacy](https://toot.cafe/tags/privacy)

Inspired by [@chriscoyier](https://front-end.social/@chriscoyier), I put together a little list of the apps I use pretty much every day.

One of the decisive moments in my understanding of [#LLMs](https://fediscience.org/tags/LLMs) and their limitations was when, last autumn, [@emilymbender](https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender) walked me through her Thai Library thought experiment.

She's now written it up as a Medium post, and you can read it here. The value comes from really pondering the question she poses, so take the time to think about it. What would YOU do in the situation she outlines?

Please give me your favorite [#Zelda](https://mastodon.social/tags/Zelda) elixir recipies! I have none to speak of thx! [#TearsOfTheKingdom](https://mastodon.social/tags/TearsOfTheKingdom)

🌟 Near my house, there's an apartment building with a courtyard. Big deal, right? But if you walk up the steps a little bit, there's something about this courtyard that you might find really truly wonderful… <https://cabel.com/2023/02/25/the-courtyard/>
