Based on my recent job search: Don't focus on grinding leetcode, it's not worth your time unless you're applying to Meta/Google/MSFT etc. - give yourself a concrete algorithm pract…

Hopefully this will not affect other browser that are downstream of Chromium.

Likely depends on whether or not its opt-in. If Gemini only gets page content when you ask it to then that's fine. Of course, it should also be possible to completely disable Gemin…

Indeed! also as a test runner/lib if you're not doing browser automation. bun definitely has benefits even if not used as a runtime.

The author's wishlist for an Obsidian homepage could be done with a custom plugin. That's the beauty of Obsidian, you don't have to wait, you can extend the software yourself. The …

The English/Mandarin section was VERY impressive. The accents of both the woman speaking English and the man speaking Chinese were spot on. Both sound very convincingly like they a…

That was my experience as well, but I pay for it. I think the family plan has great value if you have family members that wouldn't otherwise pay for it. Gifting others with less ad…

The author of that post also addresses this question in another: https://stephango.com/file-over-app > The app will eventually become obsolete. It’s the plain text files I create t…

Although not obvious, you _can_ pay them per token. You have to use OpenRouter or Huggingface as the inference API provider. https://cerebras-inference.help.usepylon.com/articles/1…

This is a plugin for Obsidian [1] that can extend Obsidian with custom functionality. There's a demo video in the readme. Why? Obsidian is a note taking app with tons of extensions…

Have been using Instant for a few side projects recently and it has been a phenomenal experience. 10/10, would build with it again. I suspect this is also at least partially true o…

Linear itself has a workflow for Github: https://linear.app/docs/github

Migration guide, if anyone is wondering: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/upgrade-guide Some breaking changes in there. May want to hold off on upgrading until LLMs come around to writ…

There are a ton of alternatives if you search around. I created my own because I wanted something keyboard centric, and use OpenRouter with it: https://github.com/iansinnott/prompt…

You can also request the model list to check the validity of a key. No tokens needed.

In short: Don't use HTML endpoints, use APIs. This is not always possible, but if the product in question has a mobile app or a wearable talking to a server, you might be able to u…

Curious to see if the apple LLM can interact with any messaging apps other than iMessage. Even amongst my American friends i only have a lone contact that I keep in touch with usin…

- copilot would only predict after the cursor, whereas Cursor predicts nearby edits, which is quite helpful - copilot-chat was just a chat sidebar last time I used it, you still ha…

What alternative open source solutions are currently competing with it?

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I didn't realize you could use search features when streaming the db over a network.

It's a very useful feature of sqlite and it also works great in-browser using wa-sqlite[0]. Example, if anyone's curious [1]. [0]: https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite [1]: http…

Seconded again. While tsx usually just works ts-node almost never just works. tsx is perhaps unfortunately named though so it may confuse people at first since it has nothing to do…

it does not. i did look into it though [1] and at the time didn't find a good client side vector search lib. i wanted to avoid in-memory vector search since the size of the data ca…

I think the sentiment you describe has more to do with alignment of interests: Starbucks wants to sell you coffee, free online services on the other hand want to sell access-to-you…
