I tried for years to make handwriting on the iPad work, but it never clicked for me. I randomly encountered a reMarkable Paper Pro Move recently, instantly purchased it. For the first time in my life, I no longer tote a paper notebook with

Cute how Apple is dinged for having a “proprietary” App Store but not Google.

How can I retrieve an API key from ChatGPT to use my subscription in other tools then? This seems like it could be useful.

Claude Code does a lot regarding optimizing context usage, tool output, sub-agent interactions, context compaction, and stuff like that. I don't imagine OpenCode has the same financial incentive to decrease the token cost Anthropic tak

Claude Code does a lot of work in optimizing context usage, how much output is included by tools and how that's done, and when to compact. This very well may make the cost of providing the subscription lower to Anthropic when Claude Co

Wow, thanks everyone. First HN post ever and it’s this intentionally terrible experiment that I thought was the dumbest weekend project I ever did, and it hit the front page. Perfect. I’ve been reading through all the comments and the range

This was an unserious experiment meant to illustrate the gap and bottlenecks that are still there. I agree that there's a lot that could be done to optimize this kind of approach. But even if you did, I'm not sure the results woul

Most of today’s top models do a decent job with assembly language!

As an unserious experiment, I deliberately left this undefined for max hallucinations chaos. But in practice you could easily add the schemata for stuff in the application-defining prompt. Not that I’m saying that makes this approach any mo

No, I wouldn’t say that my hypothesis is that non-deterministic behavior is good. It’s an undesirable side effect and illustrates the gap we have between now and the coming post-code world.

Exactly. It even includes built-in prompt injection as a "feedback form".

I thought about doing that, or having the LLM create and save HTML components, but for this particular experiment I wanted to keep it as pure and unfiltered as possible.

As soon as they put a persistent Salesforce brand banner across the top which did nothing but waste space and put that ugly logo in our face every day, my team started our transition off Heroku pretty much right away.

I might consider something like this, but I can connect four monitors to my MacBook Pro. How easy is it to find a Linux-friendly laptop which can also do this?

I’d guess they are using Haiku for this.

They are saving this for some future release I would guess. A “personalization”-focused update wave/marketing blitz/privacy Overton window shift.

I have a lot of luck using 4o to build and iterate on context and then carry that into o1. I’ll ask 4o to break down concepts, make outlines, identify missing information and think of more angles and options. Then at the end, switch on o1 w

I think it’s possible that it can be a useful step. Fleshing out vocabulary can help with all the real-world use, because you’ll have more context and can fill in meanings, and get more out of real world use. But probably only as a booster

Why must LLMs or “AI” beat or match the smartest and most capable humans to be considered to solve a real problem? There’s been a lot of technology invented and in widespread use that solves real problems without having human-like intellige

I have a bash script which is very similar to this, except instead of dumping it all into one file, it opens all the matched files as tabs in Zed. Since Zed's AI features let you dump all, or a subset, of open tabs into context, this w

I’m not a fan per se of TE, but I did get the OP-Z as a continuation of playing with the POs. I still like it but I’m already trying to find something to eventually replace it with. But is there really something out there with similar size,

I've been maintaining my own script that does something like this. A few things I've found to be useful: It can also pull in context from git history (prioritize based on which files have been most recently worked on, include rece

Comments are most helpful when they explain something that is not obvious by just looking at the code. Comments that just explain what the code plainly does don't add much value. This kind of technology can still be useful in other f

If you have a git client for iOS like Working Copy, then it's pretty straightforward to set it up.

You can sync just fine without a subscription. As you already mentioned iCloud, just put your vault there and get syncing for free.
