Vault is an Obsidian thing. This is just an "agent" (read: LLM harness in a loop) with access to it, a system prompt and a few markdown files. Nothing meaningful has changed in the…

The American discourse around these killings are actually insane. In any other developed country it wouldn't be possible to escalate these situations like this regardless of what y…

Ugh a terminal purist. Just as insufferable as the ones in person at work. Yeah have fun with your gigantic unorganized git diffs I guess.

Like you said I think it's culture, particularly ones that are food oriented. It's gonna be hard to get buy-in if people think it's too weird.

The tact aspect seems like a real possibility. In a world where users are likely to cut&paste responses it can't really be sprinkling in references like this.

Is this written by AI? Also pretty funny to compare to peanut butter & jelly, goes to show American self-centrism, and also the same bubble that's around AI tooling.

My favourite one was debugging a crash in an Electron app deployed to iOS. It turned out throwing an exception from a point event callback (deep in our app's code) was bubbling up …

I agree with the article, but that's not how the vibe coders see themselves. From their perspective they can't see the gap between programming and product, and in my experience are…

I realise your answer wasn't assertive, but if I heard this from someone actively defending AI it would be a copout. If the selling point is that you can ask these AIs anything the…

Ah, somewhere you can find all those terrible interviewees in one place!

You may as well just use a singleton pattern if you're going to do this, and at least that's easier to maintain if your use cases change.

I read through half the docs and couldn't get a definitive answer on if nested custom components (ala React) we're even possible.

I'm throwing some shade here, but this reeks of backend engineers not caring about UX.

I'm keen to drop in a few PSX-era Final Fantasy backgrounds to see what it does!

I read some of your other replies and I can't quite get a read on your line of reasoning. The issue is we would give less attention to these things if it wasn't for the social cred…

Bit of a different answer to the others; play Hypnospace Outlaw. It's a quirky game that captures the geocities aspect of what you're talking about.

I don't understand the use case, can someone enlighten me? I've always used them as a caching mechanism for derived / expensive data, and they work perfectly for that as-is. If you…

Hearing about this is very reminiscent of current day React web dev as well.

It's not apparent if you're not already an expert in the domain you're querying, so users trust its answers, especially because it's delivered with an air of confidence (until you …

Null is the sole case in js that should always be == checked. Null or undefined should never be === unless you're explicitly encoding a semantic difference in your types.

The second I saw this was about OIDC support I knew what's up. This is a great way to flood your support bandwidth with "doesn't work with X" complaints.

I don't know who this is or why I should care about their opinion, but seems like a pretty evenhanded review. It does reinforce my apprehension due to bad UX because everything has…

Ditto, for me 418 has always meant "check response body for the application error code".

Not at l surprised by this. I conducted a similar experiment when I was trying to get it to generate a body for a "Nigerian prince" email. It outright refused at first, but it was …
