  1. The Oracle Org Chart by Manu Cornet springs to mind reading this: https://www.globalnerdy.com/2011/07/03/org-charts-of-the-big...
  2. Cursor opened in config/ + HomeAssistant MCP is exceptionally good. I have blundered along with Home Assistant over the years, but it lit up with the above setup for me the other day.

    For giggles, I had it set all the lights into a disco.

    Next, we vibed a markdown file containing a to-do list of all my upstairs lights that are abstractly named by the different integrations. I put an x against a name and it turned the light off.

    Once I identified it, I wrote a better name next to it. It updated the system.

    We vibed dashboards and routines.

    The problem with Home Assistant is that once it works, you don't touch it for a year and are back to square one with the layers of concepts. But I am left satisfied knowing I have backed up the conversation/context that we can pick up next year or whenever again.

    A memorable computer experience.

  3. If Europe isn’t a continent, on what continent are the EU member states sitting on?
  4. Nit: its $800 billion in interest, your comment starts with $8 billion
  5. If fairness to toon, the alternative json your giving doesn’t include hints on structure.

    Not sure LLM are more “tuned” to JSON.

    That said, your general point holds that toon maybe unnecessary. Especially in the examples given. But perhaps plan text would suffice. Toon could be useful when automating inputs with many different shapes.

  6. Looking at the link and the editor, it seems like a feasible fork.
  7. > The VideoDisc is sometimes confused with the LaserDisc, a home video technology of that era that used an optical laser.

    I didn’t know this existed in 1964. It’s almost vinyl for video.

  8. At night. Amazing.
  9. I can think of a few reasons why it might be like that: to lead the reader into the article; to provide context of a library; to fit with the visual flow. Easy to criticise (especially on the grounds of efficiency) more interesting to critique... which is why many of these books are worth reading. Every wonder why the design of everyday computers are designed to keep us so stationary?
