Gwern's "Spaced Retention" post suggests applying it to recognizing correct syntax for fragments of Haskell code:

Article is paywalled, but this story has evolved over the last few weeks:

- 2022-01-05: "Scoop: IBM tries to sell Watson Health again" https://www.axios.com/ibm-tries-to-sell-watson-health-again-...

- 2022-01-07: "IBM reportedly shopping Watson Health just as healthcare gets hot" https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/07/ibm-reportedly-shopping-wa...

A lot of the hope seemed to be in document summarization from the latest medical literature, plus integrating patient data from electronic medical records.

The autopsy of this could be interesting. Some of the critiques against using electronic health records previously was that many of them were designed for medical billing (I don't have a good link, but Eric Topol's "Deep Medicine" has some notes on this problem https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/eric-topol-md/deep-medicin...).


Getting "state from something executing" depends on the platform (android/ios/linux/macos/windows). But for security reasons, you usually won't be able to access the memory of an arbitrary program.

You could sample the first n-bits from a binary and use it to seed some kind of generative art tool though. Or you could do something with the sequence of states if you can launch the app with debug tools (gdb, etc.).


Seeing "how other people configure their tools" can be interesting. I love seeing how people configure their .bashrc with custom commands.

I don't think I'd want to download a list of the most blocked sites and plug it into one of my tools though, for some of the reasons you mentioned.
