And even among runtime environments some are much better than others. I don't really mind dotNet or the JVM that much, but Electron seems particularly wasteful. I don't use a single Electron app.

How could I forget to mention ctrl+f!
There are a couple of functions that web apps almost always have and that native apps tend to lack: (1) selecting and copying text from anywhere in the app to the clipboard; (2) bookmarking individual views within the app. Of course, natives apps in principle could be faster and use more of your hardware —in practice though, they tend to be horribly bloated electron crapps. 😅 So yeah, a decent native app can be better than a web app, but good luck finding one for your purpose.
One interesting feature in this paper is that the programmers who used LLMs thought they were faster, they estimated it was saving about 20% of the time it would have taken without LLMs. I think that's a clear sign that you shouldn't trust your gut about how much time LLMs save you, you should definitely try to measure it.
Normally people use ChatGPT to vibe code, this is the first instance I'm aware of of ChatGPT using people to vibe code!
Kris Jenkins is a top-notch interviewer! He lets the interviewee talk, really pays attention and asks good follow up questions. I know that sounds like standard things an interviewer should do but at least in tech podcasts few seem to.
Zero. We didn't get engagement rings, not later wedding bands. The first few years of our marriage we used to get asked about the wedding bands a lot, but people eventually got used to us not having any. I think it's probably been about 15 years since we last got asked about them.
That wouldn't be so useful for academic papers, which is the use case described here: I've never heard of a an academic journal that accepts Typst source, but I know of hundreds, probably thousands, that accept LaTeX.
Pocket Casts is fantastic.
What advantage does the Wikipedia app have compared to the mobile website?
Agree on Voyager, that's what I'm using to post this comment!
My wife and I watched a classic noir film: Double Indemnity (1944). As expected, it was great.

It depends on the type of facts, but sometimes it's much easier to verify an answer than to get the answer in the first place. For example sometimes the LLM will mention a keyword that you didn't know or didn't remember and that makes googling much easier.
