Why? Why is the premise that Fine-tuned models should be geared towards new discoveries? The point of Fine-tuning small models is for specific downstream tasks, which SOTA models c…

I think there is another angle here..., fine-tuning is not in the interest of the AI Megacorps who are in it to grab everything.

Depending on a corporation to do your programming (and burning half the planet in the process, pardon the hyperbole) is the very opposite end of the "hacker" ethos where Lisp stand…

@brailsafe has accurately captured where I am coming from. I want more blogs/discussion from the community about the existing tools. In 3/6 months, how many skills have you written…

Please do open-source your skill and blog about it. Also, would like to hear from your experience after a few months of use. Like - how many times did you use the skill, did you ru…

I looked at superpowers, but it felt way too generic. Thanks for sharing unwind. More discussion/blogs about these kind of skills is what I am looking for. I would encourage you to…

I thought skills were supposed to be sharable, but (a) ones that are being shared openly are too generic and not useful, (b) people are writing super specific skills and not sharin…

I looked that the official repo of skills, but I found those very generic and artificial. I would encourage you to write up a blog post of your experience and share a version of th…

Nice - this is the kind of blogs we need more of. Getting into real experience.

First thing I did here is a grep for "Skills" and no hits. Simon's posts are well upvoted here and Anthropic/Claude is a bit of HN darling, but I think they are playing the hype ga…

Is there an Anthropic document that says this? I mean about the "training" portion. The docs I am seeing talks about Claude Code or Desktop being able to use skills - that's a tota…

Opened this excitedly, thinking I was going to get something related to S-expressions/Lisp, was disappointed...

Shameless plug: I built [1] and use a small magit like interface on top of org-mode. I love org for all its bells and whistles and use them in various ways. But most of the time I …

I created my own X11 window manager [1] at the start of this year in around 800 lines of C. I had been using dwm (4000 lines of C) for many years and wished to write my own for a l…

The historical context behind the naming of dynamic programming was discussed on HN before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17806913

People have done it. For eg, https://github.com/BobMcDear/trap and few others that I can't find the links of right now. When I got into BQN recently, I had the same thought and tri…

I think all this discussion around Open-source AI is a total distraction from the elephants in the room. Let's list what you need to run/play around with something like Llama: 1. S…

Thank you for this comment - you have succinctly captured something that I have been feeling but unable to express in words. Stories/memes/narratives are the most easy/potent form …

I have also been thinking along these lines, recently. We need better local search tools, ideally without having to build extra indices. Even a simple para oriented fuzzy search mi…

I strongly recommend everyone read Luhmann's original paper [1] on Zettelkasten. What I got from it is that, the process is less about storing/retrieving information, but more abou…

Shameless plug. For those who use Orgmode, but think that Agenda is a bit too heavyweight to manage Todos, I created a Magit like interface to manage Todos (in an orgmode file): ht…

Aside - this is a great example that shows how bad Google search has become. Seeing only the comments here, I tried to search for "pgpodman" not realizing that it's from this very …

Good thing evil-mode exists. That was my own path - started with using emacs just for orgmode, now fully shifted over.
