This study brought to you by big sleep
Screenshot of a dark-themed text report showing two findings about sleep and Anki reviews. A table shows review statistics by hours slept the previous night: under 6 hours (102 reviews, 87.3% correct, 22.9 seconds per card), 6–7 hours (438, 92.0%, 17.4 seconds), 7–8 hours (738, 93.0%, 16.4 seconds), and 8+ hours (274, 95.3%, 15.9 seconds). The text says accuracy and speed improve with more sleep. A second finding says late-night YouTube viewing is associated with shorter sleep: 7.65 hours on nights without YouTube after 11 p.m. versus 6.46 hours on nights with five or more late videos.

I don't like knowing what programming languages or libraries claude is using. Feels like this is none of my business.
