I replaced the battery on my kindle 4 not that long ago. It had the best UX for extended reading when compared to newer kindles. The biggest downside was not having a frontlit disp…

Same here, I quite enjoy it. Plus there is open source software available, such as crosspoint. It’s easy to flash and an opus call away to change the behavior if you want something…

This is awesome! Thanks for explaining the reasoning behind implementing your own version instead of using Al Dente. The straightforward UI is really appealing. I paid for an Al De…

They have an ultrawide mode available now. Personally I find it very uncomfortable. You have to move your whole head to see the sides, and the vision pro is heavy. Looking off to t…

It would be nice if the search provider could be configured. I would like to use this with Kagi.

They have a free demo that is fairly extensive. It should give you a good feel for whether the game is worth it to you.

If you find this topic interesting, David Imel put together a fantastic deep dive. He spent four months of research, went to Japan to interview the creator of emoji, and put togeth…

> I like to define my subroutines using a modern language like C++, which goes 47 gigaflops. This means C++ is three orders of a magnitude faster than Python. That's twenty years o…

I agree with your observation, although it seems unpopular at the moment. It’s clear the video is slowed down and seeing how his hands respond at the end of his action, it looks li…

Like others, wanted to say thank you for writing Aider. I think you've done a fantastic job of covering chat and confirmation use cases with the current features. Comments on here …

This is amazing, thanks for sharing it! I’ve been thinking about building something along these lines, so it’s great to see a working model.

I completely agree. A huge business with a singular focus isn’t going to pivot into the music business (or any of the myriad use cases the general public throws at it). And if they…

During a job interview I was asked to teach something off the cuff. There were two interviewers in the meeting, so I decided to show the difference that a good mic with good placem…

I would be very interested, depending on cost. For pricing models, JetBrains (PyCharm) has a nice setup, although it could be more user friendly. After 12 months of payments you ge…

Also a very satisfied customer (since 2015). I’ve used this to do everything from making clunky software easier to use to automating aspects of games that I didn’t want to do manua…

Your comment about being continuously narked reminded me how in early human history people relied on low-alcohol beer as a safe water supply. So back then it was a double-whammy. h…

I was curious for a summary of what the book suggested. Here is Kagi’s summarizer: - Emotional maturity and stability are key traits for a happy marriage. People who are well-adjus…

> Another simple risk mitigation step we take, that we believe to be unique to OceanGate is that we draw a small vacuum on the inside of the sub at the start of each dive. This ste…

You can download a model from a site like huggingface. Here is a list of models that can be used for inference: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb... This…

I think the exciting thing is that it works as GPU memory. 192gb would be great for running LLMs. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36187466

For applied maths I agree with you. But when exploring novel and innovative approaches I disagree. There is so much we can learn from finding new ways to look at the world. The ini…

I have wondered about sensory input being needed for AGI when thinking about human development and feral children[1]. It seems that complex sensory input, like speech, may be a com…

It’s been really helpful for picking up a new programming language. Particularly around helping me understand conventions in a language I’m not familiar with. GPT-4 has been great …

I want to reinforce your plan. Somehow I played factorio for a few hundred hours before finding online communities and blueprints. It was a wonderful experience of discovery and ex…
