I've never had Claude Code in VSCode add attribution to a commit when I didn't use it. VSCode is adding the attribution even when you have all copilot features disabled and therefore could not have used it.
Is it easy to measure a factory worker's productivity? It would seem surprising and interesting if every job's productivity is hard to measure except for one particular kind.
This is simply incorrect. Midwesterners have Fish Fries, often on Friday. Lake fishing is a big deal in MN, WI, IL, at least. https://www.culvers.com/what-is-a-fish-fry
annual suicide rate in the US is ~13 per 100k, murder is ~5 per 100k. so from a cohort of 50k people, we'd expect about 9 to die from one or the other per year. and these 11 deaths under investigation were over 4 years. so, yeah: my suspicion is that nothing special is happening here.
the big grain of salt: this doesn't take into account the differences in social and economic demographics of researchers and suicide + homicide victims. I'd suspect scientists skew wealthy and are less likely than average to be victims of suicide or homicide, but I don't know.
This is amazing work. I've always wanted to be able to make visualizations straight from a SQL REPL. I've been thinking about building something sort of like this with Perspective[1] + DuckDB. Perspective would give an interactive chart (and/or wicked datagrid), and using a Perspective virtual server, you could feed filter + pivot conditions in the UI back to the database query. Maybe this is the kick I need to get this out of ideation.
I mean, if an LLM, when given a query not in its training data, resorts to searching Google and then summarizes those results as the truth with 100% certainty, because, fuck it: YOLO… I'm already very capable of doing that myself, thank you. What's the point, even?
