I’ve been generating study workbooks for my Kanji study, based off the Kanji In Context (KIC) textbook series. Its a combination of leveraging an llm to synthesize the reading articles, and deterministic scripts ( in Nushell ) to gen the output markdown for Zola to render. blog.cielago.xyz/kanji/

Poland is often seen as Europe's coal stronghold. In 2000, coal generated 94% of its electricity. But something remarkable is happening: Coal's share has fallen to 50%. Wind+solar, non-existent 15yrs ago, now generate 1/4 of electricity. More in my newsletter. Sign up here: janrosenow.substack.com

It is somewhat comforting that now, whenever I see a post about “here’s the thing that keeps me up at night” I know that there is absolutely no chance that this is being written by a human who is staying up all night.

Here's a new one. I was replacing httpx with the newly forked httpxyz and asked claude code to fix some minor issue that came about as a result. it pushed back - hard ". I get the intention - to prevent spoof package attacks - but it took 3 attempts to convince it to actually accept the change ..

I've been using an LLM to generate Kanji study workbooks for my Kanji in Context study. Of course I got carried away and ended building a .md -> pdf pipeline using pandoc.org and github.com/typst/typst 😀. Probably overkill - but the output is looking really good.
Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

This is excellent, one of my favorite long-form pieces on agentic engineering - includes several non-obvious ways in which leaning on coding agents can catch you out
Lalit Maganti@lalitm.com · 4mo agoI just published a deep-dive into the 250-hour build behind syntaqlite, a SQLite formatter and LSP I built using AI agents. AI agents were the only reason built this after 8 years of wanting but there's a psychological toll to AI-assisted engineering. The post-mortem: lalitm.com/post/buildin...

Has medium jut become a clickbait cesspool ? All I see is ‘5 python libraries that transformed how I do development’, or ‘you won’t believe how this 1 tool transformed my development workflow’, and they’re invariably complete shite.
The pump on my liquid cooling rig decided to fail yesterday. So there's my New Years holiday project 🙂
