What's the connection to Xiaomi here? (honest question)

I've never seen as many potholes as when I visited Canada FWIW. I'm a Kiwi and I've driven all over AU/EU/UK (Little bit of US, but only really CA and Maine). I didn't drive in China, but I've been driven

Absolutely wild that it's been linked to a french government fund. I mean it's hard to believe the potential political fallout could be worth what they would get out of it, so one presumes the top doesn't know what the bottom

I don't think so, I think it's a genuinely interesting piece of information and loss of a yacht. Most smaller (e.g. 36ft) yachts are very hard to sink, often with human error being the most likely problem (i.e the vessel itself is

I wonder if the other investors will sue.

Yeah I managed to get it to admit that it was Claude without much effort (telling it not to lie), and then it magically stopped doing that. FWIW Constitutional AI is great.

As far as I can tell he's the founder of GlaiveAI. There were messages suggesting Matt was an investor, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

I'm a big Obsidian user and (small) plugin author, but I'd move to something Obsidian like that was open source because there is a chance of enshittification, looking at this though I can't find any reference to any capabilit

Nothing can really help/console in this moment. But so many of us are thinking about him. I appreciated his blog, his strength. It will go on and make a difference. If you ever need anything my contact details are on my profile and I w

It's not just the narcissist, it's the betrayal. The least open company possible. How did I end up cheering for Meta and Zuck?

The ability to live our lives online well predates the pandemic. Remote work hasn't prevented experiences (except perhaps being tied to a commute), it's enabled us to live more flexible lives. My partner (extreme introvert), and m

I don't really use them together exactly, I just alternate backwards and forwards depending on the type of task I'm doing. If it's the kind of change that's likely to be across lots of files (writing) then I'll use

It has been heartbreaking to follow, but all the same an important documentation. You are a true hero. I am at a loss to know what else to say.

I think both work, from a purely information point of view. The SingleFile download preserves more of the original format. For a long while I was using MarkDownload and capturing the content that way, but a bunch is lost that way. I also us

Once you know LLMS make mistakes and know to look for them half the battle is done. Humans make mistakes, which is why we take effort to validate thinking and actions. As I use it more and more often the mistakes are born of ambiguity. As I

I use Cursor and Aider, I hadn't heard of Double. I've tried a bunch of others including Continue.dev, but found them all to be lacking.

I'm finding myself using the extensively in the learning way, but also I'm an extreme generalist. I've learned so many languages over 23 years, but remembering the ones I don't use frequently is hard. The LLMs become the

I'm not a particularly good writer, but I've written about how I use the SingleFile extension to capture a perma web version of everything interesting that I read[0]. It's a great open source tool that aids in archiving (even

Reminds me of a date column where half the dates were MM/DD/YYYY and the rest DD/MM/YYYY. I did manage to eventually find the point in time when it changed and normalise the database. For those wondering about DD/MM

I just had a (contract) team member "quit" abruptly. Happy happy, oh I'm burned out, and need to take 3 months off, maybe more. I'm the last person in the world that would overwork an employee. In fact, I spend a good am

It's not a simple setup. You have to use something like https://github.com/kim-space/dify2openai because dify doesn't implement the openai endpoints. There may well be better options out there now, I've

This is a fairly good selection of capabilities, and I'm finding myself using it in similar ways. Aside from a bunch of the tools in this article like Aider and Cursor I'm also using Dify to ingest my Obsidian notes so that I can

This is true. I'm somewhat disconnected from FAANG and bay area behaviours. Before going wandering most of my career was in Sydney and Melbourne. I think in Australia early career engineers are not doing the interviewing, more tech lea

Yeah, these are my favourite types of interviews on both sides of the fence. A great way to just try to get inside someones thinking. I used to like pair programming interviews as well, where you just implement something together. We used t
