- Vim mode isn't working, oh no!
- Now that this hosted CC is achieved, next up, I think scheduled workflows would be coming. For example, certain open-source repositories host data files scraped regularly from sources via scheduled GitHub Actions, that could be simplified.
- ElevenLabs says they've developed a model which can interpret dogs' bark.
- Thank god it'll say "I use Claude btw", not leading to unnecessary text wars (and thereby loss of your valuable token credits).
- Somehow the Mac desktop app seems to be working.
- Orthogonal question: Does bypassing of paywall somehow work for Substack? Can a solution like RealDebrid / SciHub, but for Substack exist?
- Interesting, I've always resorted to using Google Lens via the phone for this purpose. And then using the "Copy to another device" feature of Chrome.
- "she" you meant.
- I've been using Firefly-III for over three years now. What I'm contemplating to write is a quick util which would auto-import transactions from my emails.
- This. Very high-quality writeups. Also, one should read Roots of Progress newsletters - I found the signal:noise ratio extremely high for these two newsletters.
The former is more CS x economy. The latter is more Science x history x economy.
- Nerds pay attention nevertheless.
- It's almost about time that Bartosz releases his next illustration, excited!
- "Typical cs dude" happens to be the subset of "Typical techbro", so expected, lol.
- The answer Bard gave is not even very coherent. Very similar results with GPT-4V as well. This makes me very cusrious how exactly do these models "see". Are they intelligently following the route starting from one point all along, or are they just tracing it top-to-bottom-left-to-right? Seemingly, latter is the case.
I expected that the AI would be able to understand that say taking a right turn from a straight road to another sub-road definitely involves crossing (since I specified that one is running on the left of the road). And try answering along those lines.
- I just tried out a vision reasoning task: https://g.co/bard/share/e8ed970d1cd7 and it hallucinated. Hello Deepmind, are you taking notes?
- This kind of tool should also be built-into the post-processing pipeline of paperless-ngx. Well-parsed markdowns would be better indexable for search.
- > can capture a bigger slice of THE FUTURE History says that the future is actually written by the nerds and not the drumbeaters (ah read CXOs).
In all this drama, the deep work interruption of the nerds is the net loss (and effectively slight deceleration) for the future.
- Given a very different paywall model for Substack, what exactly would work for bypassing their paywalls?
Wouldn't we always require a paid account to cache the HTML through (the SciHub model)?
- Been listening to Hardcore History recently - very very intriguing. Also, am a fan of a new video podcast by Amit Varma & Ajay Shah called [Everything is Everything](https://www.youtube.com/@amitvarma/featured). Note that latter can be a bit India-focussed at times.
- The one similar product I had come across is Kubeshark (https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark). But admittedly the eBPF way seems more performant theoretically (given you can afford to have a modern-enough kernel). I'm really excited to see how this project develops out.
The eBPF-mode of innovation is pretty exciting, truly a fresh lens to building software. I'm also following Akita Software - the company building an eBPF paradigm of monitoring.
- Writing about what you learnt about in bite-sized flashcard systems also helps enormously.
- It would also get awkward when you get an unexpected Slack message of "You told Jane that you'd take this point offline, make sure to actually continue the conversation".
At that point, the matrix would become completely inescapable ;)
- Yes, although the transition from Docker to Podman would be seamless, the transition from the blogpost to HN wouldn't be :p
- A very recent example of how "doing normal things" has been sabotaged in the ChatGPT app is the Ctrl+Shift+C shortcut to open the Dev Console. It now copies the last generated answer.
- No please no. We have one LinkedIn, and that's enough pain to humanity.
- Lol, we also end up tagging Mr Bean (https://github.com/bean) occasionally when discussing Spring @Bean annotations on a pull request, and forgetting to backtick it.
- Since the Russia-Ukraine war, there seems to be (expectedly) burying of dissent. I recently read the book Red Roulette where the author gave a first-hand narration of how elites used to disappear to nowhere in China (not necessarily dead). The pattern continues to repeat in Russia, lethally.

I crunched Strava data (the Strava MCP project is incredible, and I ended up contributing to it!) and built myself this fitness hall of fame page (and also rejuvenated the remainder of the portfolio). Almost all of the stuff here is vibe coded, very happy how much I could achieve.
