At first blush, seems well thought out. README is quite thorough and readable - really appreciate that you've worked on shipping on Mac. Don't know much about txiki.js - will have to play with it. Good luck!

Was always my first tweak to a new machine - such an obvious change. Moving to a split keyboard gave me three keys at each thumb - the same kind of realization. We have two thumbs that most keyboards map to a single space bar. The thumb is

Was always mystified about custom keyboards - until I got the idea to do an emoji layer: https://poggers.institute/@j/the-emoji-layer/ Also: swapping colon/semicolon, using fn+hjkl for arrow keys and having E

Not a bad idea - however > Caveman only affects output tokens — thinking/reasoning tokens are untouched. The problem is the thinking. But could help to tune my system prompt for Kimi.

I absolutely love Kimi's personality - some of the things it says are so out there! And it's been great for very focused, iterative work. Its weakness is that it seems to yak on-and-on when it needs to plan out something big or re

Well, yeah, it's all subjective - and actually quite tenuous - so you won't know good and bad until you actually make the call on it. Maybe you've had the experience even of coming around on some music you previously thought

Found a favorite band through a similar technique: pile of CDs given from a friend who worked at a music store and no one wanted them. You have to be willing to sift through junk. Which I think is hard for many to accept. However, the algor

This is not true though. My two favorite bands from the past year were poorly-attended shows that I stumbled into. You can still seek out good underground, obscure artists - you just have to look for them. Not trying to be elitist - like wh

Well, except that, in this case, Copilot really is for entertainment purposes only.

Another approach to journal writing is basically the opposite: rather than treating it like a task to fill with very rigid requirements - find a notebook and pen that you'll enjoy spending time with. An easy start is a Midori Ruled A5

Kind of ironic - the moat is money... At the same time, I see the appeal. I feel like 10% of the comments I read lately are "is this an AI response?" - would be nice to be free of that. Probably not possible tho.

The weakest part is the last one - and it's a big one. Personalsit.es is just a flat single-page directory (of thumbnails, even, not content - so the emphasis is design.) To be part of the conversation, you'd list there and hope s

Great advertising for vidalias. I simply have to try one now.

Skill descriptions get dumped in your system prompt - just like MCP tool definitions and agent descriptions before them. The more you have, the more the LLM will be unable to focus on any one piece of it. You don't want a bunch of irre

While I totally agree with you, I also can see a world where we just throw a ton of calls in the MCP and then wrap it in a subagent that has a short description listing every verb it has access to.

Yep, those are the companies that would go away.

by jrecyclebin 1y ago
Something of a logical leap here: if LLMs aren't capable of replacing workers and it's all lies, then what company is going to engage in mass layoffs without seeing results first? Sounds like companies that deserve to go away.

Lots of gold in this article. It's like discovering a basket of cheat codes. This will age well. Great links, BAML is a crazy rabbithole and just found myself nodding along to frequent /compact. These tips are hard-earned and ver

Idk the punishment just doesn't match the crime. Can't they just confiscate the computer? Or pressure the ISP to cancel his account? Tbh I get that the Feds are going route around and through anything that stands in their way. Ins

I'm already not going back to the way things were before LLMs. This is fortunately not a technology where you have to go all-in. Having it generate tests and classes, solve painful typing errors and help me brainstorm interfaces is alr

One of the main things I put in my instructions is "hey I'm a solo dev and it's just you and me working on this stuff, so I'm looking for all responses to be concise." I think it helps to give your situation so that
