Oh fun! 3 groups writing essays over 3 sessions, llm assisted, search assisted, or raw brainpower. Generally the llm assisted group had more accurate essays, but were less cognitively engaged and couldn't remember their own writing. All the stuff I think one would expect, but the NLP section went way over my head.

Ohhhh I like the step by step compiler build, could be a good time! I've always wondered what makes a lisp a "lisp", this would probably elucidate that pretty fully.
Tremors 1 seems like it set out to be a B movie creature-feature, but had such good dialogue and acting that it overshot the mark.
Ah that's a classic! I haven't read it in years, but if you enjoy it it, Gibson has a collection of short stories that you may like: Burning Chrome
When my partner was in med school, the solution was Anki flashcards. Often right before bed or first thing in the morning. It was just so many flashcards, because there are so many medical terms, but it worked!
This was such a good idea, so many of these are fire.
then shall they call upon me, but I will not cause any information to be accumulated on the stack.

I'm enamored at the level of data gathering. You could make some cool plots!
Honestly same, even this replay I hesitated before sending.
On the topic of fiction, I've been reading a book my partner recommended "A Psalm for the Wild Built". They described it as "happy nature sci-fi, something called solarpunk. I think you'd like it" lol. It's an easy read, a story set in the far future about a tea monk on an adventure with low stakes and pleasant wordbuilding. It's very welcome comfort right now. I'll check out !fiction[email protected], if anyone has suggestions for other relaxed-type solarpunk reads, I'm very eager to hear them!
"It belonged to a small man with a beaming red face, one of those people blessed with the permanent expression of someone who has just heard a rather saucy joke.
“Only I grew this carrot,” he went on, “and I reckon it’s grown into a very interesting shape. Eh? What d’you think, eh? Talk about a giggle, eh? I took it down to the pub and everyone was killin’ ’emselves! They said I should put it in your paper!”
He held it aloft. It was a very interesting shape. And William went a very interesting shade." -The Truth, Terry Pratchett

I can speak to the value of a community fridge, I've been helping pick up food donations once a week for the past few years. Our town has a few locations downtown and a small network of people manage them (I'm only there to help with heavy boxes). The fridges are all posted outside of churches, which provide electricity and extra storage space, and it's mostly retired folk who handle the logistics. Whenever we run into someone who's there to pick up food, they're always so thankful (if they want to talk, some people aren't comfortable interacting). We often hear of medical issues putting people out of work, families having to take in kids from other places, and all manner of difficult situations.
Here's a short impact assessment from 2019 with some numbers (not my town). But these places end up having hosts of network affects that benefit their communities.
