I would be cautious about relying on proprietary platform features from any AI vendor right now. They all have scaling headaches, and also are in the middle of mass feature churn. …

Are you running the direct data of your workload all through the AI? The number of tokens you're consuming can probably be reduced a lot. It seems like a good time to take a half s…

For quite a while, I've have had a shell fcn that will take all the untracked files listed in a git status, and push them to .git/info/exclude. Generally applied after an add+commi…

Yes, it's a critical distinction that's important in many systems domains, but getting some form of ownership policy and method - even if implemented with a GC I think is a step fo…

I had thoughts along similar lines, but there are other possibilities - it could be the older CPU models are built either on older lines and/or with more mature, higher yield proce…

Last I checked, and things might have changed, atuin runs a full posgresql database to store and sync the history, while mcfly is lighter, it also has a narrower feature scope.

You might be interested in: https://github.com/cantino/mcfly - fuzzy shell history (feels lighter than atuin to me, in rust) https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec - rerun on file …

One could run a docker container with claude code, with a bind to the project directory. I do that but also run my docker daemon/container in a Linux VM.

When writing tables in markdown files, text align data in the columns for readability with a plain text editor.

Go slow to go fast. Breaking up the PR this way also allows later humans and AI alike to understand the codebase. Slowing down the PR process with standards lets the project move f…

Large PRs could follow the practices that the Linux kernel dev lists follow. Sometimes large subsystem changes could be carried separately for a while by the submitter for testing …

Crash? The software, or physically? A 200Hz as a min control loop rate seems on the fast side as a general default, but it all depends on the control environment - and I may be bia…

A couple of historical notes that come to mind. When washing machines were introduced, the number of hours of doing the chore of laundry did not necessarily decrease until 40 years…

The easiest is to add short info in comments, and longer info in some sort of document and reference the doc in comments. Lightweight ADRs are a good recommendation. I've put simil…

A fun use of this kind of approach would be to see if conversational game NPCs could be generated that stick the the lore of the game and their character.

To borrow some definitions from Systems engineering for verification and validation, this question is one of validation. Verification is performed by Lean and spec syntax and logic…

I would guess by now none have that internally. As a rule of thumb every major flash density increase (SLC, TLC, QLC) also tended to double internal page size. There were also inte…

Garage is really good for core S3, the only thing I ran into was it didn't support object tagging. It could be considered maybe a more esoteric corner of the S3 api, but minio does…

Incidentally there is a open source S3 project in rust that I have been following. About a year ago, I applied Garage images to replace some minio instances used in CI pipelines - …

This seems around the durability that most databases can reach. Aside from more specialized hardware arrangements, with a single computer, embedded database there is always a windo…

On Linux I'm using colima with docker compose and buildx and it seems to work ok for my limited cases. On Mac it works ok to, but there are networking cases that Colima on mac does…

There are large bodies of work for optimization of state space control theory that I strongly suspect as a lot of crossover for AI, and at least has very similar mathematical struc…

I don't know, it's all probability in the dataset that makes one optimization strategy better over another. Git annex iirc does file level dedupe. That would take care of most of t…
