Reminds me of this this advice from 20 years ago ( 2006! ): https://www.nngroup.com/articles/screen-resolution-and-page-... > Big monitors are the easiest way to increase white-col…

I settled on JSONL for an LLM-optimized output format. Rationale: https://github.com/Leftium/gg/blob/main/specs/completed/gg-a... Combine that with context mode: https://hw.leftium…

First, it's really odd to have to use an onscreen keyboard to enter a username on a web game. I suggest: - allowing keyboard input - make username input optional, or move to end of…

Clickable link: https://pelicantools.app/tools/youtube-to-transcript It would be amazing if clicking the timestamps opened the video at that time. I often want to search inside a v…

You can hide data in random static (for a novel captcha). Very obvious to most humans (if it becomes popular, the bots could probably be designed solve it; just requires diffing th…

I think the most useful data to add is the 60-min precipitation forecast. Unfortunately open-meteo doesn't offer this. So https://weather-sense.leftium.com uses the 60-min forecast…

Open Meteo lets you query historical weather data from as old as 1940[1]. They have the only weather API I know of that can get both forecast and historical weather with just a sin…

I think you may be able just drop the precipitation chance. While the precipitation chance is interesting, I tend to not experience any actual rain even if the predicted chance is …

Do you know any other weather sites that show historical weather? I thought my https://weather-sense.leftium.com was the only current app to do this. I wrote about this over a deca…

That was one of the main motivations for: https://rift-transcription.vercel.app I think I prototyped the most fluid real-time streaming transcription experience. For example, you c…

My own TS project was inspired by IceCream: https://github.com/Leftium/gg#coding-agent-access It began as a better `console.log()` for humans, but I ended up making it better for A…

Ah, yes. The "Igon Value Problem": https://youtu.be/wBBnfu8N_J0?t=2097 I was thinking the cautiousness was intentionally bred into LLMs, but it could very well be an artifact of th…

I think the cause might stem from a larger issue: LLMs are trained to err on the side of caution. This is probably a good default, but can often get in the way. When I use coding a…

Here is a good recent comment-heavy thread to stress-test: https://www.orangecrumbs.com/hn/?story=48736605&feed=top Some things I noticed: - The comments are not in HN order; "vibe…

While reviewing my Google search history, it was interesting to see what I was working on one year ago, two years ago. I didn't make any special effort to record what I was working…

Examine your list of 10+ ideas you built. Can you identify the "starving crowd" for each of them? Does a starving crowd even exist? Lots of ideas seem cool. Far fewer ideas are are…

I've wondered if it would be possible (and beneficial) to make LLM's deterministic via a seed. Like how PRNG can specify a seed for repeatable deterministic pseudorandom numbers. T…

Yes, most of my projects are MIT licensed: https://github.com/Leftium/weather-sense As long as usage is not excessive, feel free to use the deployed version, as well.
