Though, this specifically STILL isn't the purest form of my thought. You type nothing, you just open your file tree after reading a note and the next one you want is right at the top. You click on your tags menu and the ones you wanted to add are the first in the list.
This is another example of what I mean! Integrating AI in the less than super obvious ways! (This is super fucking cool and I might try to obsidianize it...)
When I say chat is not the final interface, this is a (very small) part of what I mean. I'm not using a chat in a sidebar. I'm not clicking a button. I'm not manually choosing context, and I'm not asking an agent to do something. It's more integrated. It's not a person, and it's not a dumb button.
so envious of LLMs i want to be able to invoke tool calls just by thinking a json structure too
Berlin, Germany — 81 years ago today Having just heard about Mussolini’s brutal, humiliating death at the hands of the Italian people, Hitler takes his own life in to avoid capture by the Red Army.

Ended up being enough of a yak shave to update 15 year old WebGL code that I eventually rewrote it. Anyway map2711.mopokewing.com lets you visualise LNG imports and exports. Wait for it to load (country borders will appear) then pan around and click on places

A thread for various books, papers, and other things I am reading.
you know you've been computering for too long when you can recognise what this is
now that we spend less time writing code we can spend more time thinking about glorious Types
my struggles with Claude Code now are "just because you could, doesn't mean you should". ex: a 482 addition, 416 deletion pull request for me to add size caching to generated code structs to save 0.8% of CPU on a process. shadowing on a wrapper of generated code would have been only 21 insertions.
Whenever you create an account on a new platform there should be some system that allows you to wipe all your cringe early posts where you are attempting to figure out what sort of approach to posting you will have.
On one hand hitting an API usage limit is annoying when you could add just one more feature. On the other it is a forced break you can use for posting so who's to say if it is bad or not?
